The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

The American Immigrant Separatist Force in Texas, referred to as the Separatist Army, was a new definition of the Texas rebellion in the newspapers, and it was quickly accepted by the media around the world.

Guizot and Thiers, two big names in French politics, both believed that this was a good opportunity for France to return to North America.

After all, the Mexicans are too poor, so they should not pay the interest, and then take advantage of the debt problem to take the opportunity to claim Texas from Mexico. Based on the Gulf of Mexico, it is not a dream to rebuild a second France.

They don't think this is wishful thinking, and they know that Mexico's national strength is simply not enough to support Tasan Anna's military operations.

Mexico, the big one, has an annual fiscal revenue of only 18 million pesos, which is less than one-tenth of France's fiscal revenue.

According to the French estimates, Mexico's funds will dry up within three months at most, and this is on the premise that Mexico does not increase military spending.

According to intelligence, the Texas Separatist Army has already received the support of the Americans.

The training level and weaponry of the Mexicans are very backward. As long as there is a small group of organized American troops, entering Texas can beat the Mexicans to pieces.

Regarding anti-Americanism, although the British quarrel the most, it is impossible for them to send troops directly to Texas, so sooner or later the two sides of the war will become the United States and Mexico.

The United States is much stronger than Mexico, and the failure of the Mexicans is a matter of time.

If the Mexicans do not want to accept the fate of failure, they can only borrow from France, and France is also willing to help these poor people.

After all, everyone is a Catholic brother. How can I be called the filial son of the French Catholic Church for nothing?

As for the end of the war, they asked Mexico for Texas on the pretext of the debt problem.

In this way, Mexico paid off its debts and received asylum from France, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After all, as long as France is in Texas, the United States will not be able to continue westward, and the Mexicans will be able to sit back and relax.

Thiers and Guizot were still thinking about the bright future of France in North America, when a cabinet secretary on duty woke them up.

"Mr. Rothschild, they are here..."

To complete their good deed, France needs the most professional bankers....

On a plain north of San Antonio, a massacre was taking place.

The two sides of the battle were Tasan Anna's 1,500 Mexican cavalry and 270 remnants of Colonel Manin's split army.

Both sides were doomed from the moment the battle started.

Since Manning and his soldiers did not find out at first that the opponent was a Mexican, they thought it was Houston's reinforcements.

Let the cavalry advance to a distance of less than 100 meters. At this time, it is too late to organize the soldiers to form a hollow square, or to escape.

At that moment, Ma Ning gave up thinking and allowed the cavalry to crush his team like a bat.

The scattered deserters could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry, and the battle was over soon.

Tasan Anna enjoyed the scene of the cavalry chasing and killing the broken soldiers. He liked the feeling of blood splattered everywhere, and he yelled excitedly.

"Kill them all! My boy, God be with us!"

Gablenz and Stadion had no interest in such a one-sided battle, Tasan Anna's adjutant reminded him.

"The two military observers are still here, we should observe the etiquette of gentlemen."

Only then did Tasang Anna realize that if he continued to kill indiscriminately like this, he would definitely be regarded as a barbarian, so he quickly ordered.

"Don't hurt those who surrender, quick! Stop them! No more killing!"

A few officers rushed out on horseback, because the soldiers were so jealous, no matter who it was, they would be very excited when chasing rabbits on horseback.

When the officers stopped the crazy cavalry, there were only a dozen people left in the split army, including Colonel Manin who had given up thinking.

Colonel Ma Ning stood there blankly and was dressed in an officer's uniform, and was ignored by the cavalry. Instead, it was the soldiers and volunteers who escaped that inspired the cavalry's fierceness.

A Mexican general quickly ran up to Tasan Annama, took off his hat and saluted.

"It was your victory, General, a great one. We captured seventeen men, including a colonel, supposedly their commander, and three hundred guns."

Colonel Manin was the highest-ranking officer ever captured by the Mexican Army since the war began.

Tasan Anna was very proud. He wanted to humiliate the Separatist Army officer, but he was greatly disappointed. The man in front of him seemed to be stupid.

The battle in the direction of the town has also ended. Tasan Anna ordered his subordinates to fight the fire, collect the affected refugees, and then cast all the blame for arson on the Separatist Army.

Hundreds of residents in the town looked at their homes in ruins, and many of them were weeping. No one cared about Tasan Anna's disgraceful speech.

"Your Excellency, General, you should show your kindness." In fact, Gablenz already wanted to scold his mother. How did this man become the ruler of Mexico? Doesn't he have any political talent?

In fact, Tasan Anna was the first person in the Americas to bombard the presidential palace, and he created a school of "demolishing the house". It has spread widely, and the whole Latin America is its fans.

This kind of dictator who came to power by military coup often has very limited political means.

However, since there are Austrian military observers nearby, UU reads www. uukanshu. com He also had to restrain himself.

In order to maintain the image of the Mexican army, Tasan Anna ordered the soldiers to be the residents of the town. Set up temporary tents, and distributed part of the military rations he collected to the soldiers and civilians in the town.

Tasan Anna's action gained a wave of hearts, but it made the quartermaster very angry, because the military supplies from the rear had not arrived. Now the reason why the Mexican army can eat and drink is entirely because they robbed the rioters who betrayed Mexico finances.

But now Tasan Anna refused to plunder in order to maintain his image, and the Alamo was unable to attack for a long time. Goliad had food and supplies, but they had no money, so it was very difficult.

On March 9, 1836, the sixteen-pound heavy siege gun that Tasan Anna had been waiting for finally arrived.

Tasan Anna ecstatically shouted, "I'm going to kill those Yankees."

This made Gablenz and Stadion feel that he was hopeless, because killing those Yankees was meaningless and would make them heroes.

Of course Franz knew this. He had entrusted Archbishop Rauscher to try his best to make the defenders of the Alamo surrender.

Before Gablenz and Stadion came to Mexico, they were told to surrender as many Texans as possible, especially the defenders of San Antonio (now the Alamo).

Stadion was the first to speak, "Your Excellency, General, you should first send those captives to persuade the defenders of the Alamo to surrender. If the opponent surrenders, unnecessary bloodshed can be avoided, and your prestige can be enhanced."

Tasan Anna immediately noticed that he had lost his composure. He was the Napoleon of North America, so how could he not use both kindness and force?

"Let those captives go and tell the defenders of the Alamo to surrender."
