Wild North America 1846

Chapter 122 Bloodwashed Minneapolis

minneapolis

This is the capital of Minnesota. Minneapolis was originally established in 1821 near St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River.

Later, the number of immigrants gradually increased, and the village of St. Anthony was formed on the east coast.

As the city gradually expanded toward the west bank, economic activities focused on utilizing the water power of the waterfall to develop the wood processing industry.

Along the raging Mississippi River, there are 17 hydraulic sawmills in Minneapolis alone. A large amount of lumber is processed and floated down the river. It is an important lumber supply base in the northern United States and the Great Lakes region.

mid 19th century

With the development of immigrants to the Midwest in the United States, animal husbandry and wheat cultivation in the Great Plains have reached considerable scale, making Minneapolis, located between the two major agricultural areas, developed into an agricultural and livestock product processing center, known as the "City of Flour"

reputation.

Lumber and flour are the two largest economic outputs in Minneapolis, accounting for more than 80% of the entire city.

By the end of 1846, the population of Minneapolis had exceeded 50,000. Among the cities around the Great Lakes, both population and economic scale were far lower than those of star industrial towns such as Chicago, Detroit, and Grand Rapids. However, in terms of agriculture and animal husbandry,

Minnesota, a state dominated by industries, is still second to none.

Now in this city

Black smoke curled up, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty galloped past with sabers in hand. They shouted loudly and drove the people in the town into the streets. Anyone who dared to disobey would be chopped to the ground without hesitation.

This beautiful northern riverside city fell into an unprecedented military disaster.

The cavalry from the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty arrived so suddenly that the entire city fell without any resistance. Dozens of well-dressed upper-class people were hanged in front of the city council, including the mayor, speaker, and congressmen, as well as some of them.

Prominent business owner and police chief.

Their corpses swayed in the wind, adding to the aura of terror.

Standing on the steps of the city council gate, Richard glanced around with a cold look. The small square in front of the church was already filled with four-wheeled carriages. They were all vehicles scrounged in Minneapolis, and they were loaded with carriages.

full of goods.

There are complete sets of silver tableware, porcelain, lace curtains and various clothes obtained from the confiscation of the house, as well as weapons and production tools, bacon sausages and kitchen utensils, wall clocks, etc., all packed to the brim.

There were more than 2,700 four-wheeled carriages gathered in the entire city, and Richard had personally promised that whoever grabbed them would get them.

This greatly stimulated the wolf nature of the cavalry under their command. They rushed into the white people's homes with swords and guns in hand, and their enthusiasm for burning, killing and looting was unprecedentedly high, and the whole city was filled with smoke and smoke.

Richard wanted to turn 6,000 Chinese cavalry into gangsters, wear away the gentle and courteous side of them, stimulate the bloody and wolfish nature of the soldiers, and bring more serious war disasters to the towns in the heart of the United States.

No matter how strong a wolf is, its damage is limited.

A swarm of 6,000 wolves can cause terrible damage to the city in a short period of time.

river bank

Countless bags of flour were piled here. The white prisoners, who were guarded by swords and guns, opened the bags one by one and poured the snow-white flour into the river.

This caused a large cloud of powdery mist to rise from the riverside, which stuck to everyone and turned everyone into white-faced people. Large areas of white appeared on the surface of the rushing Mississippi River, which were all dumped flour.

For the Tang Kingdom, all supplies that could not be taken away were destroyed, and all wood processing plants and flour mill equipment were destroyed and then burned to the ground.

"Let's get started, don't waste time by dilly-dallying." Richard waved his hand and gave the order.

"As you command, Your Majesty." The long row of officers below responded with a salute, and then quickly went their separate ways.

After the order is issued

The fierce cavalry separated the white women and dragged them away. White women ranging from 14 years old to 26 years old were rounded up separately. These women were all taken back to Denver as trophies.

Your Majesty has already said; everyone can get a daughter-in-law and cows.

not long after

As many as 14,000 white women were separated, leaving only the old, weak, women, children and men on the other side. Many men resisted angrily and were killed on the spot with sabers and muskets.

After hundreds of people die, the job can be completed.

Then these white women were packed into the carriages. There were many white women who could drive the carriages, leaving a little space behind the driver's position. Each carriage could also hold two or three women.

The remaining able-bodied women either followed the carriage, were hung on the back of the carriage, or climbed onto the high pile of goods and were driven southwest.

A long carriage team arrived outside the city. Here, there were cavalry driving a large number of cattle. The team stretched for more than 10 kilometers, and the miserable cries of women could be heard everywhere.

The cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty who were responsible for escorting were all in high spirits. Their team consisted of 1,600 cavalrymen in total. They were the 2nd Zhangzhou Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Weihai Cavalry Regiment. Their commander was Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi, who was smiling from ear to ear at this moment.

Major Lin Shoutian, deputy commander of the Second Zhangzhou Cavalry Regiment, rode over for fun, pointed his riding whip at the long team and said, "Sir Zheng, we are following His Majesty in this attack, but every bite is so sizzling! You little bastards

I'm so happy."

"Your Majesty's ideal is to relive the glory of the Tang Dynasty on the west coast of North America. You and I, the Chinese people, are unyielding and kneel to heaven and earth, and to our parents, to sweep away the evil spirit of enslavement of the Manchu Tatar slaves for more than 200 years, hold our heads high and hold our chests high.

As a human being, the mere foreigners roaming the world with their ships, guns, and guns are gone forever, and it’s time for us Chinese to feel proud.”

"Yes, I feel really comfortable following His Majesty."

"Shoutian, when you have nothing to do, instill more loyalty and patriotism into the little bastards. We Chinese immigrants must work together as a team and follow His Majesty's footsteps to create the prosperous Tang Dynasty of our dreams."

"I understand that I will do what Chief Zheng orders."

"Brother Morita, you don't have to be polite. You and I are both poor people living overseas. If we hadn't created a fortune with His Majesty, we would have been the coolies exploited by the white ghosts, struggling to survive in the darkness. How could we have the happy life we ​​have now?

"

"What Chief Zheng said is so good. Our brothers in Zhangzhou all remember His Majesty's great kindness. There is nothing we can repay in this life. From now on, we will sell our lives to Your Majesty. We will follow you to the death and never regret it," said Major Lin Shoutian.

What he said was true from the bottom of his heart. He looked at the black cloud-like cattle in front of him and couldn't help but start gossiping again.

"Sir Zheng, the number of cattle collected from nearby towns and farms is astonishing. How many are there?"

"There are probably 40,000 to 50,000 of them. I don't know the exact number."

"Oh my God! This place in America is really rich. In our area of ​​Zhangzhou Prefecture, there are not even 2,000 cattle in total. Some villages with thousands of people only have a dozen buffaloes. It is simply incomparable."

"Have you not seen how fertile the great plains of central and northern America are? There are millions of bison herds. Didn't we see a few of them on our way here?"

Speaking of which

Zheng Laosi's expression became serious and he ordered: "You will take two cavalry brigades to protect the front and flanks. Try to disperse the buffalo herds as much as possible and don't let them affect our cattle going south. If necessary, you can

Shoot and kill."

"I obey my command!" Major Lin Shoutian saluted with a serious expression, and then immediately galloped away with his men.

The road from Minneapolis to Denver is an endless prairie, interspersed with lakes and forests, with no roads and roads everywhere.

The cavalry of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty advanced with light cavalry and raided the city of Minneapolis. They killed all animals and animals they met along the way to prevent the news from leaking to the greatest extent.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi received the order, and when he returned, he wiped out the ranches and white towns along the way and brought back all the supplies. Of course, there were also white women of childbearing age.

These female cavalrymen will be allocated first, as well as a large amount of looted supplies, cattle and sheep. The rest will be given to some of the musketeers responsible for defending the city, and some will be sent to Rio Rancho Fortress and Los Angeles. The total is at least seven to

Eight thousand white women.

Therefore, despite the fact that so many white women were plundered, in fact, not even a cent was lost.

This required Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi to plunder and rob white ranches and towns along the way on his return journey. Throughout several northern states in the United States, his 1,600 cavalry were the largest armed force and could run amok;

For details on how to do this, you can refer to the measures taken in Denver.

At this moment

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi looked back silently. The entire city of Minneapolis stood on the plains with green mountains and green waters. Dozens of curling black smoke rose from the city. He seemed to be able to hear the intensive gunshots.

, the bodies of white male citizens filled the Mississippi River.

After the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty destroyed the factories and farms in Minneapolis, they swept away the entire city and dumped all the flour that could not be taken away into the river.

As for the young and middle-aged white men in the city, bloody killings were carried out...

Only more than 20,000 old, weak, women and children can be left in this city, which will become a heavy burden for the United States.

His Majesty the King has emphasized many times;

The Tang Kingdom and the United States will be long-term war rivals, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. These young white men are soldiers when they take up arms, and they must not show the kindness of women.

If the US military entered the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, they would never be polite to the Chinese, let alone show mercy.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi turned around silently, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He would carry out His Majesty the King's orders to the letter, and the white towns on his return trip would be plunged into fear of death.

His Majesty the King, leading more than 4,400 cavalry, will wait quietly in Minneapolis for the US military to take the bait, and then carry out a head-on attack.

Every white town here is a burden for the US military. After a large number of horses were seized in Minneapolis, the six cavalry regiments under the Tang Kingdom reached the standard of one man and two horses, and the heavy cavalry reached the standard of one man and three horses. The soldiers and horses were strong and their morale was high.

high.

With such a high-end configuration, it can roam freely on the northern grasslands and beat the Americans out of temper.
