New Ming Empire mixed in America

Li Mingqi from Southern California was really angry this time.

He did not expect that these people could come up with such a heartless method. This was to replicate the method used by the British to bring plague to the Native Americans.

"Order the navy to set out and destroy all coastal buildings in Southern California along the way."

"Let Sun Lai Fu's National Defense Forces also move. Within a month, I want to see Southern California completely recovered."

As Li Mingqi's order was issued, the war machine of the Xinming Empire began to rotate.

First, the 1st Brigade of the National Defense Force began to deploy a defense line toward the Arizona area to prevent Texas from sending troops to intervene.

Then the Second Brigade of the National Defense Force took a train and headed towards Southern California. Large quantities of war supplies were transported towards Southern California.

Such big news in the Xinming Empire cannot be hidden from those who care about it, not to mention that Li Mingqi had no intention of hiding it.

It is now March 1862. It is estimated that after preparations for war are made, the vaccination against cowpox will have ended, and the National Defense Forces who have passed the vaccination period will not need to worry about the threat of smallpox.

Soon, the telegram from Texas was delivered to Li Mingqi.

Because Southern California has opened up land and telegraph connections with Texas, the New Ming Empire can also communicate directly with Texas.

Looking at the diplomatic rhetoric with obvious warning, Li Mingqi sneered.

Immediately someone sent a telegram to Texas with only eight words: 'Anyone who dares to offend the New Ming Empire will be killed!'

The Texas side, who quickly received the telegram, were a little confused. They did not expect to encounter someone more stubborn than themselves.

For this new Ming Empire, they initially regarded it as a bargaining chip to hold back California.

Later, after California was occupied by the other party, Texas regarded the Xinming Empire as a source of weapons.

Later, after learning about the Xin Ming Empire's expedition to Peru, Texas regarded the Xin Ming Empire as an independent country, and it was also a country that was not weak in combat effectiveness.

Regarding the issue in Southern California, the Confederacy actually has its own filings.

It can be seen from the map that the existence of Southern California has divided the northern and southern parts of the Xinming Empire into two halves, so they have been mentally prepared for the Xinming Empire to attack Southern California.

Now Texas' tough stance towards the Xinming Empire is just a test. It would be best if it can scare the Xinming Empire. If not, it can give Southern California an explanation.

So after the Xinming Empire made its clear stance, Texas made plans to abandon Southern California.

Even though Texas had a lot of cavalry, they still had to defend themselves against attacks by Indians and Mexicans.

So they are powerless now, not to mention that the weapons of the Southern Alliance still need to be imported from the Xinming Empire.

So when Southern California received a reply from Texas, the entire state government exploded.

The general meaning of Texas' reply is:

'Look, we have expressed our stance, but the other party has not given us face. We are busy fighting the war in the north now. We will come to help you when we can spare our hands. You have to hold on.'

We can hold on? If we can hold on, what do we need you to do?

"Is this what you want to see?" During the emergency meeting, the deputy governor looked at Matthews with a ferocious expression on his face.

Now the Eastern legions have taken trains directly to Southern California, and now the small towns near the railway have begun to move toward Texas.

As for the militiamen in Southern California? Those ungrateful guys, led by that bastard Steven, have been leaving for three days under the guise of supporting Texas.

Also leaving were the families of the militiamen who betrayed Southern California and the oath they swore to the state flag.

"As a member of the church, I hope you will have the most basic respect for me!"

Matthews was actually panicking. He didn't expect Southern California to be so ruined.

Before the war even started, all the militiamen fled and were even abandoned by their allies.

How ironic is this? It is simply synonymous with bad luck.

He also thought that by relying on Southern California, he could create a career and make all Easterners believe in God. But now it seems that this goal has not been achieved.

Thinking of this, Matthews couldn't help but shook his head. After arranging that vicious method to deal with the Orientals last time, he never thought about the possible consequences.

He is a big shot in the church, and no matter where he goes, he will not be in danger, so this is why he is so unscrupulous.

"It's you who should be worried now. The Easterners are already preparing to attack. I wonder what you can do to resist?"

Matthews' mouth was still so foul, and he still had that arrogant expression. After he finished speaking, he added another sentence with a hint of contempt:

"By those farmer troopers who just put down their hoes?"

At this time, the number of MPs in the conference room was less than one-third of the usual number. No one thought that the originally good situation would suddenly collapse.

The abandonment of Texas and the betrayal of the militiamen cost them all their leverage.

"No, we still have one last chance!"

Looking at these Southern Californians who had lost their sense of proportion, the tuxedo diplomat who had arrived with the Northern Warship suddenly said:

"Don't forget those Tsarist Russian diplomats who live in the tavern. With them here, I believe Easterners will not dare to be too presumptuous!"

Tuxedo's words made everyone's eyes in the conference room light up.

Yes, we still have a chance!

"But will those Russian diplomats help us?"

The lieutenant governor asked worriedly. Now that even the Confederacy has abandoned Southern California, he does not believe that those drunken diplomats from Tsarist Russia will support them.

"Why not? Don't forget that I represent the Northern Federation!"

Standing up, Tuxedo glanced at everyone, then took a telegram and read:

"Southern California is an important member of our Northern Confederacy. If you declare war on Southern California, it will be a declaration of war on the Northern Confederacy!"

Looking at the stunned Southern California management, Tuxedo showed a satisfied smile.

"As long as you agree to join the Northern Federation, your rights and interests will be protected by the Northern Federation, and no one can take them away!"

Tuxedo originally didn't have much hope of making any achievements when he came to the west coast to contact the diplomats of Tsarist Russia.

After all, the Northern Federation doesn't have much money now, and even I am tight, let alone spend money to buy that damn place called Alaska.

But now it can be said that he is planting flowers with intention but planting willows with no intention of doing so. This is why he deserves to make meritorious service.

As long as Southern California is pulled from the hands of the Southern Confederacy and into the Northern Union, no matter whether it is a mistake or not, no matter what kind of troubles it will face after being brought over, it has nothing to do with him, a diplomat who has already received the credit.
