Wild North America 1846

As the U.S. military hesitates to move forward,

Richard led more than 4,000 cavalry under his command (more than 400 cavalry were lost in the battle) roaring through the northern states, attacking cities and towns without any disadvantages, spreading the war to the entire north, burning, killing and looting, and successively captured Des Moines County, Omaha County, and Omar County.

Ha, Lincoln, Yankton, Sioux City, Orange and other towns raised butcher knives and blood flowed like rivers.

These towns range from tens of thousands to two to three thousand, which means they have a large population when gathered together.

By the end of February 1847

The main cavalry force of the Tang Kingdom escorted nearly 5,000 carriages and 22,000 prisoners, as well as tens of thousands of cattle and sheep heading south to Denver. The long convoy stretched for more than 30 kilometers, which was spectacular.

Three days after the main cavalry force of the Tang Dynasty retreated, conclusive news came from Minneapolis, and then the U.S. military headed north in fear, entering the almost deserted city of Minneapolis.

What you see

The city is full of skinny women and old people. Everything edible here has been burned or robbed. Even the large wheat fields in the wild have been ruined. There will definitely be no good harvest this year.

If these wheat sprouts were not difficult to burn, they would have been burned to the ground by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.

The city's original population of more than 50,000 has been reduced to less than 20,000. Young white women of childbearing age from 14 to 30 are basically invisible, and young and middle-aged white men are rarely seen.

After the catastrophe, in Minneapolis and surrounding towns, pastoral pastures were abandoned and in shambles. Only the old white women who had dried up their tears sat on the side of the road, muttering something numbly, obviously crazy.

in the northern states of the United States

South Dakota and North Dakota were less affected by the devastation of the war. The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom roared through their edge towns and did not go deep into the interior.

The worst was in the three northern states of Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Almost all the towns, large and small, had been plowed over. The local residents were afraid of being affected by the war and hid deep in the mountains and grasslands.

People everywhere are panicked.

These three northern states had more than 100,000 people and less than 70,000 or 80,000 people. After being severely harmed by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, the fearful local residents abandoned their farms and pastures and drove their families south in carriages and entered the Great Lakes.

Densely populated areas.

Do a rough calculation

Nearly half of the residents fled in just half a year, leaving the northern states, which originally had a small population, nearly deserted and full of relics of human social life.

The cultivated land was deserted, urban residents were deprived of their houses, and the economic development of agriculture and animal husbandry suffered a heavy blow. Legends about the brutal cavalry of the Tang Kingdom became increasingly popular, killing villages and towns at every turn, and single-handedly caused more than a dozen tragedies that shocked the world.

The reputation spreads far and wide.

In addition to the nickname "Mad King", Richard also had the nickname "Devil King Richard". Because of his ruthlessness, once he heard that "Devil King Richard" was leading his army to kill him, he scared the northern American cowboys and fled.

.

Everyone knows that once a white man falls into the hands of "Richard the Devil", there is no chance of survival. He is really notorious for his evil reputation.

Suffering from this unprecedented and tragic defeat, the U.S. government was forced to strengthen military defense measures in South Dakota and North Dakota, dispatching more than 5,000 cavalry and 12,000 musketeers to the important towns of the two states.

.

Coupled with the protection of local militia forces, the local situation in South Dakota and North Dakota gradually stabilized, and people lived in fear with lingering fears.

No one knows

When will those ferocious and fierce Eastern cavalry come down from the Colorado Plateau again, causing devastation to all living beings and falling into a boundless hell of terror?

All American families with some ability and capital migrated from the above-mentioned two states to the Great Lakes in the southeast in an attempt to escape this dangerous place.

South and North Dakota are originally more populous states in the north. One has a permanent population of more than 370,000 people, and the other has a permanent population of more than 236,000. The agricultural and animal husbandry production is quite developed.

As a result of this attack by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, the two states mentioned above lost nearly 1/5 of their population in about a year, which can be described as a serious injury.

On return

After nearly a month of arduous journey, Richard led the main force of cavalry to escort the prisoners and countless supplies back to Denver, where he received a grand welcome from the Chinese people along the way.

It is more than 1,840 kilometers from Minneapolis to Denver. The terrain is covered with grassland forests and alpine meadows. The geography is complex and changeable. There are no decent roads at all, but there are roads everywhere.

Following the same track they passed two months ago, this huge team finally overcame various difficulties and returned to the Colorado Plateau.

It's midwinter

The ground along the way was frozen solid, and the heavily loaded carriage could barely pass without getting stuck in the grass and mud.

If we wait until spring and the flowers bloom, the weather gets warmer, and then there are a few spring rains, and there are stagnant water and swamps everywhere, then there is really no way to leave.

After returning to Denver

Richard immediately issued a royal order to give heavy rewards to the 6,000 cavalrymen who participated in the northern front. Each of them would be rewarded with at least a four-wheeled carriage, a white woman, five cattle and some other property.

The more than 4,000 musketeers who stayed at Denver Castle also received a white woman, an ox and several rewards.

Moreover, Richard promulgated the "Order of Rewarding Military Merit and Land of the Tang Kingdom";

It stipulates that all officers and soldiers who have achieved military exploits are entitled to their own land, with an area not exceeding 200 acres, and enjoy a preferential agricultural income tax of one out of ten.

As soon as this order comes out

The whole of Denver was boiling. King Richard fulfilled his promise and won the unanimous love and support of the military officers and soldiers.

Subsequently, on the large land southwest of the Indian Valley, more than 6,000 cavalrymen, representing more than 6,000 families, carried out large-scale reclamation activities on the Colorado Plateau with cavalry squadrons as units.

Most of these cavalry families, which are mainly Chinese, have one or two Indian women. Now a white woman has been added to the family. Each family has been allocated 5 cows and some chickens, ducks and poultry, so the labor force is quite abundant.

Each cavalry squadron consists of more than 60 families. When they are gathered together, they form a village. When the horse-drawn carriage array surrounds them, it becomes a horse-drawn carriage camp.

March and April every year are the time for spring sowing.

More than 6,000 cavalry families and tens of thousands of Chinese laborer families staged a vigorous reclamation movement on the Colorado Plateau, with lively scenes of labor everywhere.

Kingdom Sequoia Bank played a huge role in promoting this process. They issued preferential agricultural loans of no more than 100 US dollars to each Chinese immigrant and charged an annual interest rate of 7.2%.

What can you do with $100?

You can buy an Indian woman for 50 to 80 US dollars, which is worth the same as an iron plow. It is very cheap.

US$100 can almost collect all the tools needed to open up wasteland, and then two or three people can buy an ox together, and the plowing ox will do the heaviest plowing work.

In Denver's Main Castle and Cherry Castle, it will cost about US$2,800 to US$3,300 to buy a two-story townhouse with three bedrooms and one bathroom, and a yard of more than 60 square meters in the back.

A house with the same conditions in Indian Valley would cost half as much.

Still in the American South

The price of an ordinary strong black slave is 500 to 800 US dollars, and a beautiful black slave can be sold for 900 to 1,500 US dollars. There are very few white women on the market, and they can easily cost 3,000 to 4,000 US dollars.

It can be seen from this alone

King Richard was so partial to the cavalry. Not only did each cavalry family have 1 or 2 Indian women, but he also rewarded a white woman, 5 cattle and a carriage, and allowed him to cultivate no more than 200 acres of land. He only charged

A preferential tax rate of 10% tax, with a total value of thousands of dollars.

He also did not treat the musketeers guarding Denver Castle poorly, but the reward was much reduced, but everyone still had a share.

Therefore, the love for His Majesty the King is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially these soldiers.

In doing so, Richard had his own far-reaching considerations.

Only Chinese people with families and businesses will fight tooth and nail to protect their families and property. Not only does he urgently need to import Chinese immigrants from overseas, but he also urgently hopes that these Chinese will have more children and form a sustainable social development situation.

Today, the total population in the area from Denver to Indian Valley has reached 123,000, making it the largest city in the Tang Kingdom.

Among them, there were more than 67,000 captured Indian and white women, 10,000 troops (including cavalry and infantry), more than 12,000 Chinese immigrants, and 34,000 convicts (including more than 9,700 whites).

Such a social structure is neither healthy nor sustainable. Only by making full use of the role of these women and giving birth to a large number of children can Denver experience explosive population growth.

Nowadays, in Denver Castle, the royal soldiers are a group that everyone envies. They have a very high status, relatively well-off family conditions, and are on a higher level than ordinary Chinese immigrants.

Especially among the more than 6,000 cavalry families, all of them were rich when they returned from robbing the North of the United States. They could often exchange valuables such as gold rings, gold bracelets, pocket watches, and canes for money. Some cavalry families even owned three or four

A horse-drawn carriage, these were all family properties purchased later.

Richard deliberately let the soldiers get rich first, which greatly promoted the enthusiasm of Chinese immigrants in the kingdom to join the army. Most of the current 11,000 Chinese immigrants have signed up to participate in military training.

This is the role of a role model, allowing the people of the kingdom to unite closely around King Richard, and to follow the banner and go through fire and water without hesitation!

Count carefully

Richard did not spend a huge amount of money, but instead made tens of millions of dollars. He was unanimously supported by the soldiers and the people, and was the biggest beneficiary.

The cattle, carriages and various supplies given to the soldiers, as well as the 37,000 white women captured, only accounted for a part of the total, and the rest were in the hands of the royal family.

For example, more than 70,000 cattle were rewarded and 34,000 were rewarded, more than 7,800 horse-drawn carriages were rewarded and more than 6,300 were rewarded, and more than 10,000 white women were rewarded. There are still many left.

Some of these white women will be evacuated to reward internal officials and troops in the kingdom. About three to four thousand people will be needed. There are still more than 23,000 people left. They will be uniformly arranged to enter textile factories, weaving factories, clothing factories, and food factories.

Working in factories, flour mills and other enterprises can squeeze out more value.

In the future, it can also be awarded to soldiers as a reward for military exploits, getting the best of both worlds.

As for the wasteland reclaimed by soldiers and Chinese immigrants, military merit fields are paid at a preferential tax rate of 10% tax, and the land ownership belongs to individuals and can be enjoyed for life.

That is to say

When a veteran dies and the ownership of the land is transferred, these military fields can no longer enjoy the preferential tax rate of 10% tax, but must pay taxes on civilian land of 10% tax.

The more land is cultivated, the more abundant the kingdom's tax sources will be and the stronger its economic strength will be.

from which angle

King Richard was the biggest beneficiary. By the end of March, the population of the Tang Kingdom officially exceeded the 200,000 mark, doubling what it was half a year ago.
