Wild North America 1846

Panama City is close to the Gulf of Panama and backed by the Ankang Valley. It is a picturesque Haikou city with sea and mountains. Its urban architecture has a strong Spanish colonial style. It is one of the largest cities in Central America on the Pacific coast.

Panama City was established by the Spanish in 1519 and has a history of more than 300 years. It was the starting point and rear base for the Spanish Empire's invasion of the Inca Empire. It was also one of the important trading centers for Europeans in the New World of America.

The entire Panama City has a population of more than 46,000 people, mainly Hispanic whites. The largest migrant population group is the Chinese, with less than 3,000 people settling here. Most of them are engaged in commerce and handicrafts, and the economic situation is acceptable.

The Panama Railway, invested and constructed by Americans, is about 76 kilometers long. The terminal station on the Pacific side is located in Panama City, and the terminal station on the Caribbean side is located in the town of Colon. This is a "two-ocean railway" connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and is also a link between the United States and Europe.

The only way for personnel and materials to travel to the Tang Kingdom.

This is a railway built mainly by Chinese workers in the tropical jungle. There is a local saying in Panama that "there is a corpse of a Chinese worker under every railway sleeper", which shows the blood and tears that went into the original railway construction.

The Naval Base of the Tang Kingdom is located in the Ankang Valley on the edge of Panama City. It has independently built trestle docks, warehouses, and independent barracks. It is home to a powerful military force including 2,200 armed soldiers and more than 870 sailors. It is second to none in the entire Central America.

.

A large area of ​​land from the Ankang Valley to the coastal area, with a total area of ​​about 13.5 square kilometers, all belongs to the Panama Naval Base of the Tang Kingdom. Brigadier General Pan Hengchen spent 4,200 Tang Yuan to purchase the land, and the land property rights belong to the Navy of the Tang Kingdom.

Think back to the beginning

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen directly led 1,200 heavily armed soldiers to surround the Panama City City Hall. He led his men directly into Mayor Cecil Rodrio's office, dropped 4,200 Tang Yuan, and started to leave all the Ankang Valley.

land.

This method is simple, crude and effective. From drafting all ownership documents to finally stamping them with the city hall's big red seal, the whole process was completed in more than 20 minutes.

On May 2, 1849, the naval base was crowded with people. Almost half of the people in Panama City came over to witness the rare hanging of the famous Vulture Captain Rodman and more than two dozen of his men.

Wonderful scene.

On the dock pier

Two sailing battleships, "Kingdom" and "Dignity", were moored one after another. Flags were hung on the tall masts and fluttered in the wind. Young and handsome sailors were dressed in neat military uniforms and stood in a long row along the pier with rifles in hand, serving as a berth for the warships.

The separation zone between it and the citizens has become a beautiful landscape.

What attracted the most attention of Panamanian citizens was the notorious pirate ship "Black Pharaoh". Most people have never seen this legendary pirate ship. Those who have seen it have either been brutally tortured to death by the pirates or sold.

Go to remote sugar plantations in Central America and become miserable slaves who work to death.

A large number of Panamanian residents gathered to watch the "Black Pharaoh" pirate ship. The large holes blown by cannonballs on the sailing ship and the ferocious war wounds all caused the crowd of onlookers to scream. Through these war relics, you can imagine the maritime war at that time.

How cruel is it?

Next to the Black Pharaoh pirate ship, there are more than 140 pirate heads built into the temple. Many local women are scared to look at it, and men are also very upset after seeing it.

Looking back at the neatly arranged military columns of the Tang Kingdom's navy, a psychological shadow called fear arises.

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen was sitting on a temporary high platform with some leading figures in the Panama City Council. Next to him was the Mayor of Panama, Mr. Cecil Rodrio, who was complimenting and saying with a smile on his face: "On behalf of my country, Lu, I

Prime Minister Nisio sent a sincere message of greetings, congratulating the Navy of the Tang Dynasty on its final victory in the eradication of pirates and fulfilling its commitment to ensuring the safety of the people. It is really gratifying!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor, for your kind words, and also thank your Prime Minister for your message of greetings despite his busy schedule. Our Navy of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty is committed to eradicating banditry, maintaining the safety of routes from Central and South America to North America, and it is our duty to fight against crime."

"Yes, yes... Central America has a centuries-old piracy tradition. The people in this region have suffered greatly, especially in the Caribbean. Countries along the coast have suffered from pirates!"

"Then there is nothing we can do. After all, it is not our territory. From the Caribbean Sea to the Gulf of Mexico and even the entire Atlantic Ocean, it should be the responsibility of the U.S. and Mexican navies. The Tang Kingdom Navy can only maintain the safety of the routes on the Pacific side.

Just one side!"

"The general led his troops to attack in one fell swoop and wiped out the piracy scourge that was a serious headache for countries in Central and South America. Prime Minister Lunisio of our country said in the message of condolences; he will be awarded the Grand Order of Tbilisi to the general to commend the general.

Merit."

"You're welcome. Please express my gratitude to His Excellency the Prime Minister on my behalf."

"Well...Prime Minister Lunisio also expressed concern about your country's military garrison. Well...if it's convenient, the pirate danger has been eliminated now. Well...I hope to know the time of the garrison. After all, such a garrison goes against the country's independent policy.

that……"

Seeing Mayor Cecil Rodrio hesitate, Brigadier General Pan Hengchen smiled gracefully.

A country without strength cannot even speak forcefully.

With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Mayor Cecil Rodrio and said domineeringly;

"Please tell the Prime Minister of your country that the body of a Chinese worker lies under every sleeper of the Panama Railway. The Tang Kingdom has a natural mission to maintain the tranquility and peace of this land.

He should keep that bullshit Medal of Bliss for himself, I don't care about it.

Looking at the tragic end of the Yankees' confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, I hope your prime minister will clearly understand the gap and know what he should do?

Our naval base is established here not for one or two years or 10 or 8 years, but to stay permanently. Anyone or local forces who try to obstruct the realization of this goal will be crushed under the iron fist of our military.

Look...just like those pirates who were about to be hanged, the noose was pulled around their necks, and the fun was over immediately..."

Speaking of which

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen gently patted Mayor Cecil Rodrio on the back as if joking, and placed his iron-like hands on his neck, with a different meaning in his eyes.

This action scared Mayor Cecil Rodrio so much that he shrank his neck and turned pale.

The smiling general in front of him is a real murderer. In the three or four months since he arrived in Panama, nearly 300 pirates have been hanged at the naval base. This does not include the more than 140 pirates piled up in the capital.

Pirate head.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

In Mayor Cecil Rodrio's view, the Oriental general in front of him regarded human life as nothing, and his methods were bloody and brutal. He was a ruthless character who must not be offended.

As for the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty behind him, it was even more terrifying. Three years of war killed many Yankee heads and rivers of blood. The reputation of "Richard the Great Devil" spread far and wide throughout the Americas.

That is really a terrifying master. Not to mention openly opposing him, I was scared to death when I heard about him.

The Tang Kingdom openly sent thousands of officers and soldiers to Panama to buy land and build a naval base. Didn’t the upper-level bureaucrats of the New Granada Republic government know?

Even a three-year-old child knows that this is a serious violation and trampling on the sovereignty of the Republic of New Granada, a naked aggression, and regional hegemony, but so what?

Prime Minister Lunisio did not dare to come and say it himself, but had to convey it tactfully through the mouth of Mayor Cecil Rodrio, which is already very illustrative of the problem.

The upper echelons of the New Granada Republic lack the courage to challenge the Tang Kingdom. The United States, the North American hegemon, has been beaten badly. What can the tiny Republic of Granada (Grand Colombia) do?

It has been four months since the naval base was established, and the United States, which always likes to point fingers on American issues, has not given a single fart and just pretends to be invisible.

In this world, everything must speak for itself with strength.

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen's intimidation worked. Mayor Cecil Rodrio's fearful eyes spread, and all the top city council officials fell silent. Instead, they began to brag about the heroic achievements of the Tang Kingdom's navy.

"There is an old proverb in the East: He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. Panama is just a province in the Republic of New Grenada. What can those mediocre people in Bogota bring to this land? Just follow my idea; just establish an independent country, plug.

Mr. Sir Rodrio will directly become the Prime Minister of the government. If you are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you will not be able to escape the status of a top count nobleman. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the honor for generations?" Brigadier General Pan Hengchen had just threatened and turned around.

He began to instigate and win over again, making no secret of his intention to split the New Granada Republic.

What's the matter...are you afraid that he will bite me?

His words embarrassed all the senior officials of the Panama City Council present. Mayor Cecil Rodrio's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Brigadier General Pan Hengchen with a strong sense of questioning.

After Brigadier General Pan Hengchen affirmed with his eyes, his eyes became even more intense.

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen's words touched Mayor Cecil Rodrio's mind and made him think seriously.

The Rodrio family is a very influential large family in Panama, with centuries-old roots and deep roots. His situation is very similar to that of the Wangancarlos family, the foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty. They both consider family before the country.

These countries in Central America have little heritage. They were originally Spanish colonies, and they have not been independent for many years. Over the years, separation and reunification have become a habit, let alone loyalty.

Take, for example, the province of Panama in the Republic of New Granada;

In 1501, Panama became a Spanish colony. On December 28, 1821, it declared independence and joined the Republic of Gran Colombia. After the disintegration of Gran Colombia in 1831, it became a province of New Granada.

Counting it all together, it has only been 18 years since the founding of the Republic of New Granada. The upper echelons of the government in Bogota have inherited the chaotic, corrupt, power-seeking bureaucratic habits of Central and North American countries, and are indifferent to people's livelihood and development issues. This has already caused problems including

There is strong dissatisfaction in the provinces of Panama.

In fact, within a few years, the Republic of New Granada split into several countries: Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama and Colombia.

The secession of Central American countries is as simple as reading a public statement. The Bogotá government has neither the strength nor the ability to prevent it, so everything will fall into place.

Selling Panama's interests in exchange for the family's generational glory and aristocratic status is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

The Tang Kingdom is one of the three strongest powers in North America, far more powerful than the Bogota government.

The title of earl of the Tang Kingdom is enough to make people jealous, and the thigh is thick enough. For Mayor Cecil Rodrio, such a heavy bargaining chip suddenly broke down his original reserve and psychological defense.

.

"It's getting late, let's bring the prisoner forward for sentencing." Brigadier Pan Hengchen read the information he wanted from the other party's eyes, smiled slightly, and changed the subject.

The high-level officials of Panama City present echoed and applauded vigorously.

Amidst the loud sound of horns, a group of strong Tang Kingdom soldiers escorted the unkempt pirates into the arena. This scene aroused loud cheers from the people present, and the cheers resounded through the sky.

When Captain Rodman's iconic bald head was escorted into the arena, the crowd cheered to a climax and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The naval law enforcement officer of the Tang Dynasty read out the verdict on the 27 pirates on the spot, and all of them were hanged without exception and executed immediately.

On the beach facing the sea, there are more than 50 gallows densely erected. On each gallows are hanged pirates. They have been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time and have become human beings.

In order to make room for the newcomers, the corpses of 27 pirates who were executed on the gallows have been removed, burned to ashes and thrown into the sea.

Nowadays, pirates are being hanged on the gallows one after another, and the crowd watching the executions is in a lively atmosphere, just like the Chinese New Year, and they are shouting in unison behind them;

"one……"

"Two..."

"Three..."

…

"Fifteen...sixteen..."

When the 27th call was reached, Rodman, the notorious vulture captain on the North American route, was instantly strangled by a noose and his cervical vertebra was broken, which attracted a tsunami of applause from the onlookers, one wave after another.

Brigadier General Pan Hengchen was also greatly surprised by the enthusiasm of the people, and he quickly laughed it off tolerantly.

There are not many entertainment activities these days. In order to save money on kerosene lamps at night, most people go to bed early to have sex. This results in each family having seven or eight children, and the same is true for white families.

27 pirates were hanged at once, including the legendary pirate king "Captain Vulture" Rodman. What a spectacular event was this?

Being able to witness this historic moment with their own eyes, no wonder the people of Panama are so excited.

Through collective executions again and again, the Navy of the Tang Kingdom spread its lofty prestige in the hearts of the people and established an unshakable and powerful monument. This is a great thing!
