Chapter 264: Demagoguery

With the help of local people like Hongmen, Xie Zihao can easily understand the general situation of the Jinzhou area.

Although Saramento is the capital of the so-called Golden State, its population and area are far inferior to San Francisco in the west and Los Angeles in the south.

The Guangdong Guild Hall here is just a branch. The Guangdong Guild Hall in San Francisco is the largest Tang organization on the West Coast. In addition to the Guangdong Guild Hall, there is also the Minnan Guild Hall. It is not only people from Guangdong and Guangxi who like to go overseas, but also Fujian Province since ancient times. in this way.

In this unfamiliar new world, although the two sides have had conflicts since ancient times, they are still united for warmth at this time. In addition, they are both from Hongmen. The Cantonese and the Fujianese may have some fights in private, but there is no problem in the general sense. , are all grasshoppers on a rope.

Although Liang Sanshou is the helmsman of Hongmen in North America, there are still several elder-level figures inside, and he still needs to communicate with them, so he took Xie Zihao and others to San Francisco, the headquarters of Hongmen.

Of course, there were no decent railroads in the West at this time. After the Golden State became the 31st state of the federal government in 1850, the Golden State and adjacent areas seemed to be everywhere due to their suitable climate and fertile soil. The gold attracted a large number of people from the eastern part of the Federation and all over the world to flock here.

Until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, although the eastern region of the Union east of the Mississippi River already had a relatively developed railway network, there were almost no railways in the west, and transportation between the east and west was extremely difficult.

But in this year, if you want to travel in the western interior, you can only take a boat or a horse-drawn carriage.

Of course, Xie Zihao would not choose such a slow transportation method. He directly asked Liang Sanshou to board his paper carriage. It only took less than an hour to arrive at San Francisco, one of the important towns in the west, from Saramento. city.

This is an extraordinary speed. Even though Liang Sanshou is a Taoist practitioner, he can't help but be shocked when he sees it.

Because what he practices is the Taoist inner alchemy method, combined with some miscellaneous techniques. Although he pretends to be a Taoist, he is not actually a Zhengyi or Quanzhen Taoist who has received the ordination.

His own strength is better at maintaining health, but he is not as good at fighting skills, let alone the four arts of Xuanmen practice, including the Talisman Alchemy. Among them, he has a little experience in alchemy. After all, the inner alchemy method and the outer alchemy method have the same principles. In the early years, the Inner Alchemy School was a school formed by later generations who understood the classics on Outer Alchemy written by their predecessors.

So after feeling Xie Zihao's magical paper-tying technique, the Hongmen boss couldn't help but admire:

"If such magic were used in marching and fighting, even those secular armies would be vulnerable!"

Xie Zihao shook his head.

"Although this spell is good, it cannot replace the army. After all, practitioners like us have rashly intervened in the change of dynasty, but it is a taboo thing. The evil aura of the army alone is enough to make the ghosts and immortals retreat!"

In this dream world, Xie Zihao understood that even with his limited abilities, it would be difficult for him to retreat unscathed against thousands of thousands of classical armies, let alone modern armies armed with various high-tech weapons.

Moreover, the aura of military evil mentioned here is actually a kind of power of humane order. It is the torrent of humanity formed by the convergence of everyone's thoughts. If you follow this wave, practitioners can get enough benefits. On the contrary, if you fight against it, then The only fate is that Mantis was the one who was run over by the wheels in the car.

As a traditional practitioner, Liang Sanshou has a thorough understanding of these modern time travellers, who are not like Xie Zihao, but he also knows the truth, and he can't help but regret it:

"It's a pity. Otherwise, thanks to your abilities, little friend Xie, you would be able to conquer this new continent, and it would not be difficult to become a prince."

Xie Zihao also smiled and said nothing. The carriage drove all the way into the old city of San Francisco. The situation here was more prosperous than that in Saramento. After all, Saramento was just a material transfer station for gold diggers, while San Francisco As an area where gold mines have been discovered for more than ten years, Jinshan City, as people in Tang Dynasty call it, naturally has a larger population than Saramento, which later emerged.

In a building that was more magnificent than the Guangdong Guild Hall in Saramento, Xie Zihao met several other Hongmen big guys and a group of backbones, but maybe it was because of the older relationship. He didn't know the people here, except for one or two. Those whose surnames sound familiar must be the ancestors of the members from the modern Hongmen side.

In the Hongmen headquarters, Xie Zihao once again described the rhetoric he told Liang Sanshou.

Then he could see that several Hongmen bosses were all tempted, especially those of the younger generation who had not yet been drained of their passion by society. When they heard this, their blood was even more intense, and they wished they could pick up knives and guns to kill him right away. Damn it.

However, there were a few mature and prudent people who pulled Xie Zihao and began to ask about the specific situation.

Xie Zihao drew a circle on a map based on the information provided by Hongmen and said:

"I think the upper Golden State area in the northern part of the Golden State, where San Francisco and Saramento are located, is the best location for our uprising."

Others basically agreed upon hearing this.

Because there are at least more than 10,000 Tang gold diggers in Jinzhou, and there are about 20,000 Tang gold diggers in the Luocheng area. After all, the gold mines there are newly discovered, and there are more opportunities to get rich overnight. .

But Lower Jinzhou, where Los Angeles City is located, has a natural port and is closer to the route to the eastern part of the White Eagle Federation. The White Eagle Federation has far more immigrants than the Upper Jinzhou area in the north. In addition, there was Brother Moto before. There are still a large number of Modu brothers in the territory, and the number of these people is increasing with the news of the gold mine. Every day, hundreds of Modu brothers cross the border and come to Jinzhou to pan for gold. , so in the Luocheng area of ​​Xiajinzhou, the Tang people did not have a demographic advantage.

After listening to Xie Zihao's analysis, Liang Sanshou touched the beard on his chin and said:

"In other words, as long as we can capture Shangjinzhou, Xie Xiaoyou and this black soil friend can mobilize the aborigines of Jinzhou to form an alliance with us and help each other?"

Xie Zihao assured:

"Of course, we Tang people have various daily necessities such as salt, oil, sugar, wine, and iron pots, which are urgently needed by the aboriginal tribes. In addition, I can also provide some weapons to arm both the Tang people and the aborigines."

A strong man from Hongmen couldn't help but said with joy when he heard this:

"That couldn't be better. Although those foreigners are eager to sell us all other supplies, they are very strict about firearms. As a result, we in Hongmen have not even been able to form a 100-man musketry team. If only they could With a thousand muskets, no, even five hundred, I will be confident enough to capture San Francisco and Saramento."

Liang San Code introduced Xie Zihao:

"Master Yu learned from Southern Shaolin. It is said to be the inheritance left by Yu Wuxiang, the former Yu Long Qi Hu. He is the leader of our Hongmen Guards Hall. He is in charge of a group of young gang members and is responsible for their training."

Xie Zihao nodded when he heard this, understanding that this person should be equivalent to the person in charge of recruit training in Hongmen, and was also responsible for force, so he said:

"Master Yu, please don't worry. Five hundred firearms are no problem for me. Even if it's one thousand or two thousand, I can even get you a cannon if you want it. But the weapons I got are all somewhat

The restrictions need to be explained to you in advance!”
