Wild North America 1846

After inspecting various construction projects in Indian Valley, the brick kilns have begun shipping in large quantities. The kilns use high-quality coal produced locally in Denver, which has strong firepower and high combustion value.

What's even more rare is that the coal mine is buried shallowly. After removing the floating soil more than two meters deep on the surface, you can directly dig as much coal as you want.

In addition, the quality of the local alpine clay was very good. Among the Chinese workers, there were many Jiangxi veterans who had the skills of firing porcelain kilns. Soon several small-scale porcelain kilns were established.

besides

The food factory is installing equipment, and the flour mill has been put into operation. Snow-white and delicate flour is being continuously produced, which has greatly improved the material supply situation of Denver Castle.

The only regret is that due to climate reasons, rice cannot be grown for the time being. Chinese immigrants in Guangdong, Guangxi, and coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian have difficulty eating the rice they so much desire.

You have to wait until spring and the temperature rises before you can plant.

Unfortunately, by that time, the U.S. military may have already invaded the border, and all the crops outside the castle and fortress could only be barren or completely burned.

Deep in the valley, Richard saw a large area of ​​farmland that had been opened up. Irrigation canals were well built, and cold-resistant crops such as Chinese cabbage, radish and pepper were planted, and the growth was gratifying.

Presumably by the spring of next year, the area will definitely be full of rice. The yield in the first year may not be very high, but it will be enough to satisfy the appetite of Chinese gourmets.

It seems that as long as there is a chance, Chinese immigrants can successfully cultivate rice on the Denver Plateau.

Nowadays, you can eat a series of soy products such as tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, gluten, dried orchid, stinky tofu and so on in Denver Castle.

It is estimated that before long, rice noodles, cold noodles, rice cakes, Ningbo glutinous rice dumplings, glutinous rice cakes and other snacks will also appear one after another. Thinking of this makes people drool.

Alas, my Chinese appetite has nowhere to rest!

Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head. There were tens of thousands of hard-working convicts and more than 1,000 Chinese laborers involved in the construction of this Indian valley, which was rapidly changing the original appearance of the valley.

One brand-new factory building after another has been completed, tall windmills are turning, and roads and housing construction are under construction in full swing, creating a prosperous scene.

It won't take long

With the Taniguchi Fortress project launched and the cement plant put into trial production, the construction of the entire Indian Valley will be on the fast track, racing against time.

Think of this

Richard couldn't help but smile. He took the reins of the horse and jumped onto the horse's back. He loudly greeted Liu Wu and the other cavalry guards, "Guys, let's go back to camp. The Yankees in the north will definitely not expect this."

The soldiers from the kingdom suddenly arrived, we want to give them a big surprise, come on!"

After talking

He took the lead and galloped away. The cavalrymen behind him were in high spirits, shouting strangely and riding their horses to follow closely behind. The sound of horse hooves rumbled away...

Chicago, United States

In 1846, Chicago in the United States was already a large city with a population of nearly 300,000, and it was growing rapidly. Together with Detroit, it was known as the shining "Twin Cities" in the Great Lakes region, and it was also the third largest city after New York and Philadelphia.

The military camp on the outskirts of the city was bustling with people, gathering many volunteer militia teams from surrounding areas, with a total of nearly 16,000 people. It was one of the key cities preparing for war.

The military commander of the Chicago base is Major General Terry Speke. He is one of the four newly promoted major generals of the Continental Army of the United States and is responsible for presiding over the overall work of the Chicago base.

This is also one of the base camps of the Western Expeditionary Army. The other one is in Kansas City. The scale of the soldiers gathered is slightly smaller, but it still reaches 11,000 people.

Major General Terry Speke was standing under the eaves, holding a corncob pipe in his mouth, hands on his hips, watching the U.S. military training with a proud and proud expression.

training ground

Thousands of U.S. soldiers lined up, practicing the musketry tactics of lining up to kill, and marching step by step to the sound of military music, which looked really lively.

On the other side of the training ground

The U.S. cavalry galloped away into the distance like dark clouds. The rumble of the horse's hoofs was like rolling thunder, and the ground trembled as they stepped on it. The momentum was very impressive.

Such a huge lineup makes Major General Tris Spike very proud. He will command this powerful army to conquer the Tang Kingdom and crush everything with its powerful strength.

"Look, Frank, our boys are the best. I will lead them all the way to Los Angeles and beat the shit out of that lunatic king. I will give you a good sigh of relief."

Major General Tris Speke's words were full of show-off. He glanced at Major General Frank Gilhoury standing next to him, full of Versailles.

As the defeated general, Major General Frank Gilhoury is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chicago base. He looked at the proud look on Major General Tris Spik, who was more than 10 years younger than him, and almost asked his mother to greet him.

Forcibly suppressing the disgust in his heart, Major General Frank Gilhouli twitched the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Mr. Major General, that mad king is not as easy to deal with as you expected. There was almost no direct battle between me and him.

But he has been led by the nose. Although the mad king is young, he is extremely cunning."

"Oh, then my interest will be even greater."

"I would like to solemnly remind you, Mr. Major General, that the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty has a cuirassier regiment with good combat effectiveness, and they are equipped with a powerful cavalry revolver capable of six rounds. The firepower completely overwhelms the US military. When implementing cavalry

In conventional semi-circular tactics, charge...shoot...circle, charge again...shoot, and so on until the US cavalry is defeated. With the support of advanced weapons, is this a considerable threat to our cavalry?"

"I heard you mention that this is a cavalry team with no more than 1,300 troops. Under the iron heel of the army, I don't believe it can survive two rounds. We have assembled nearly 7,000 cavalry, and their number is

More than 5 times.”

"You shouldn't take it lightly, these Easterners are very strange."

"General Frank, I have to remind you, never let others take advantage of you and destroy your own morale. Under the crushing force of absolute strength, all tricks will eventually melt away like ice and snow."

Major General Tris Spike was already in a somewhat unhappy mood. He stretched out his left hand and took the corn cob pipe out of his mouth. There was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth, and his tone was unusually warning.

How can a mere defeated general mess with the morale of our army?

The 8,000-strong army was defeated at first sight, and the entire army was annihilated. This was a particularly heavy blow to the confidence of the US military.

Even if you fight like this, no matter how rich your family background is, it won't be enough.
