New Ming Empire mixed in America

After inspecting the Cape Fort Fortress, Li Mingqi took out his telescope and looked at the future location of Marin County across the sea from San Francisco.

I considered in my mind the feasibility of building a cross-sea bridge.

However, when he told Liu Youcai about this idea, he was strongly opposed by Liu Youcai.

"Long live my lord, the spectacle is ruining the country!"

Well, Li Mingqi thought about it and found that building the bridge was of no use at this time, so he gave up the idea.

No wonder this bridge was officially opened to traffic in 1937.

Liu Youcai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Long Live Lord was no longer insisting on building the bridge.

However, in order to completely dispel Li Mingqi's thoughts, Liu Youcai said:

"Long live Lord, it's time for us to bring back the people of the empire. It's not a problem to always stay at Baiman's place."

Li Mingqi thought about it and felt that this was also the case.

It's really not good to always stay in other people's homes, but it's reassuring to take them back.

He called a guard in uniform and gave detailed instructions for a while.

After the Jin Yiwei walked away, Sun Laifu came over and said:

"Your Majesty, we captured a lot of artillery in the fortress, but they were all modified field guns and placed on the fortress."

When he said this, Sun Laifu was also a little scared.

If it weren't for Sun Laifu's heavy artillery regiment in yesterday's battle, he would definitely have to attack by force in the end.

Although these field guns are not as good as the Xinming Empire mortars, if they are loaded with shotguns, the casualties of the National Defense Force will definitely not be small.

Following Sun Laifu and looking at these crude fortress cannons, Li Mingqi said: "Be patient for now. The Royal Research Institute will be able to develop new cannons in a while."

Sun Laifu felt relieved when he heard the name of the Royal Academy.

Who in the empire doesn’t know the name of the Royal Academy now?

Originally, the purpose of beating around the bush this time was to remind Long Live Lord not to forget to equip the fortress with some powerful artillery.

Although the current mortars are easy to use, they are obviously not suitable for use in fortresses.

This Cape Fort fortress is not simply used to garrison troops. Its greatest role is to guard the Kinmen Strait.

Together with the fortress on the other side and the Alcatraz Fortress, it firmly guards the gate to San Francisco Bay.

Now that the fortress in San Francisco has been taken over by Li Mingqi, then San Francisco's tariffs... no, the tariffs of the entire California must be added, and a share will be given to the Xinming Empire!

"Get ready and push our defense line into downtown San Francisco soon. I will have a military parade there in a few days!"

Li Mingqi looked in the direction of San Francisco, with some killing intent in his eyes.

Someone must pay the price for his ignorance!

At this time, the San Francisco City Hall was already in chaos due to the invasion of Orientals.

The mayor is still lying in the hospital unable to get out of bed because he was attacked by a black man last time.

So the current city hall can be said to be leaderless.

Logically speaking, if the mayor is hospitalized, the deputy mayor should step in.

But the bad thing is that the deputy mayor went to Sacramento for a meeting because of Mr. Stanford's plan to build a railway between the east and west.

Now that something like this happens, you don't have to think twice to know that the other party will not come back and take the blame.

Since the deputy mayor doesn't want to take the blame, even less of the remaining members want to stand out.

So everyone focused their attention on the 9th Infantry Regiment.

If the Ninth Infantry Regiment hadn't provoked the Orientals in Los Angeles first, how could things have turned out like this?

In addition, the 9th Infantry Regiment indulged its subordinates some time ago and robbed more than a dozen warehouses and more than 30 cargo ships in the port area.

The most important thing is that the mayor was injured in the last incident, which directly led to the current situation in San Francisco.

In fact, there is another thought that these congressmen have not expressed, that is, the Ninth Infantry Regiment is still detaining more than 6,000 Eastern immigrants.

At the same time, it was also because of those immigrants that directly led to the break between the Orientals in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

So now these immigrants have become San Francisco's talisman.

All of the above are the reasons why these congressmen focused their attention on the 9th Infantry Regiment.

Because the head of little Joseph, San Francisco's top military commander, was just the right size to take the blame.

When little Joseph received the notice, he actually refused in his heart, because he had already received reports that more than two thousand black regiments had been wiped out.

Now he still has more than 3,000 soldiers at his disposal. If he grits his teeth, he can also summon a group of militiamen from nearby cities.

But think about those Easterners. First, his father brought more than half of the 9th Infantry Regiment to Los Angeles. Yesterday, more than 2,000 black soldiers were wiped out. It is estimated that he will have to finish it.

.

Little Joseph looked at his father in the photo on the inside of the pocket watch, who was probably driving westward, and he wished he could be his co-pilot.

It’s so embarrassing for my son!

It's okay, why are you provoking him?

Although he was extremely reluctant, those congressmen were right.

Now those Eastern immigrants are under the custody of his Ninth Infantry Regiment, and sooner or later they will face off against those Easterners.

Now while I still have some trump cards, let's see if we can convince those Easterners to return to Los Angeles.

As long as he can temporarily stabilize these Easterners, he will be victorious.

Because yesterday he personally sent a telegram asking for help to Sacramento.

Moreover, they sent three telegrams asking for help in a row, fearing that the telegraph operator in Sacramento might lose the telegram due to carelessness.

After Sacramento organized its army, those Easterners were no longer a threat.

Just arming some of the miners can overwhelm those Easterners with their numbers!

Thinking of this, little Joseph had no choice but to take all the family members of the 9th Infantry Regiment to garrison in downtown San Francisco.

On January 4, 1861, the New Ming Empire’s National Defense Forces appeared outside San Francisco.

The liveliest city on the West Coast is now in chaos.

The farmers living in the suburbs were desperately trying to squeeze into the city because of the sudden large-scale raids by the Orientals on illegal armed forces.

Now who doesn’t know that those Orientals will throw captured San Francisco residents on construction sites to build roads, dig mountains, and build houses?

Those poor people who were taken to work might be happy because they finally had enough to eat.

But how come they, the rich men who live outside the city, engage in lowly business?

So now the poor and unemployed workers in San Francisco are starting to move out, while the wealthy people living in the estates outside the city are pushing in.

Now no one cares about the Wehrmacht soldiers digging trenches outside the city. It's too late to take care of yourself.

"It needs to be thicker here. If the opponent's artillery shells hit here, only one layer of sandbags can't stop it."

Li Mingqi and his guards were inspecting the excavation of trenches.

He wanted to build this place into a permanent fortification, using this trench barbed wire plus a defensive line of bunkers to separate the east and west parts of San Francisco.

This division does not mean digging a trench that runs through San Francisco, but building fortifications at several key locations.

For example, near the railway, or the roads leading to the outside from downtown San Francisco, etc.

When these locations are covered with bunker wire, they will be connected with dots and lines to form a complete defense line.
