Wild North America 1846
Chapter 191 February 2nd, the dragon rises its head
mexico city
At this time, the presidential palace was in chaos. Everyone was surrounding President Santayo and shouting loudly. They were dancing with excitement, as if they wanted to tear him alive.
President Santayo is a short, fat man of short stature. At this moment, he is sitting dejectedly on his chair, his head is in a mess, and he has no idea how to deal with the current complex situation.
He is just a product of compromise in the struggle between political parties. He has no strong political force or capitalist support behind him. He has no prestige or sufficient influence. He is just a transitional figure.
However, President Santayo was unwilling to be left alone, and was always thinking of doing something eye-catching in his short presidential term, so he set his sights on the Tang Kingdom.
Before this, he knew very little about the Tang Kingdom.
I only know that this is a new dynasty founded mainly by Easterners. It defeated the Americans in the war and occupied a large territory on the west coast of North America. That's all.
from the heart
President Santoyo, who believes in Catholicism, is quite repulsive to Eastern pagans and would subconsciously regard the Tang Kingdom as his opponent. This is just a matter of personal likes and dislikes.
Now the matter has become serious and cannot be ended.
The dispute turned into a murderous crime, which was ignored by the international community. European countries expressed their helplessness.
Even the United States, which has always claimed to be the leader of the Americas, has been coy about this matter.
The United States still needs to lick its bleeding wounds, and relations between the United States and Mexico have deteriorated extremely, so the United States cannot provide substantial help.
The original plan to take over the political arrangements for the new president of Mexico has been stranded. No one is willing to accept this big thunder that is about to explode. Only the Mexican people are unlucky.
"The terrifying Oriental Cavalry Corps of the Tang Kingdom has been assembled in Rio Rancho. It is at least 16,000 strong. In addition, 15,000 new soldiers and 4,000 retired soldiers will be recruited, for a total of 35,000 troops. This is an army that we cannot
A powerful force to contend with. What should we do now?"
"According to the latest news, the murderous Demon King Charlie has arrived at Rio Rancho Fortress and may head south at any time."
"Since the beginning of January, the Tang Kingdom has recruited nearly 30,000 Indian slave laborers and is working day and night to repair the railway and road from Rio Rancho to Juarez. The road is expected to be completed by early April at the latest, and the railway will arrive
The entire line will be open to traffic by the end of the year, and cavalry from the Tang Kingdom have appeared around Juarez, and the situation in the north is critical."
"The government must make a decision, otherwise everything will be over and the people will be ravaged by war again."
"Mr. President, Count Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, officially rejected our request for peace negotiations and said: The dignity of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty is sacred and cannot be insulted, and Mexico must pay the price in blood."
hear this
President Santoyo suddenly raised his head and plucked up the courage to say, "Since we can't talk, are we ready to fight?"
Upon hearing his irresponsible words, several Mexican generals surrounding him became furious and yelled and cursed;
"What do you, an idiot president, know? Is the war going to be fought at will? We don't have soldiers, weapons, equipment, supplies, or training. How much money can the government allocate for us to fight this war?"
"Appropriation is nothing. The little money paid by the United States and the Tang Dynasty every year is not enough to cover one-tenth of the reconstruction expenses of towns hit hard by the war. Families displaced during the war have not resumed production, and pensions for wounded and wounded soldiers have not yet been provided. Financial
There are only rats and no money in the ministry’s treasury.”
When it came to appropriation, officials from the Mexican Ministry of Finance jumped up and complained. They spread their hands and said there was no money.
"What war can we fight if we don't have money? We can't produce soldiers or supplies with our bare hands. How can we compete with the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom who are strong and powerful?"
"Then let's talk. We can't just sit here anyway..."
As a result, the government fell into a commotion again...
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Flags are waving outside the heavily guarded Rio Rancho Fortress, and an endless array of cavalry is spread out on the Gobi Desert. Their armor is shining and their swords and guns are like a forest. A grand expedition ceremony is being held here.
"Open the knife to sacrifice the flag."
After a loud shout, the executioner escorted dozens of Indian tribe elders. The priest knelt down on the ground, slashed with the sharp blade, and the head immediately fell to the ground.
Then the second batch of escorts came up. These were the leaders of the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, Jicarilla and other large indigenous Indian tribes. They had traveled thousands of miles after their tribes were wiped out.
After being escorted to this point, he became a ghost under the sword of Ji Qi.
The Tang Kingdom had always suppressed the indigenous Indian tribes who refused to accept the king's rule. The Indian tribes who had lived in eastern and northern New Mexico for generations suffered devastating blows during military operations.
The "Resolve" clearing plan launched by the Army General Staff Headquarters was launched simultaneously on a 670-kilometer long front from southeastern Colorado to eastern New Mexico on August 26, 1849.
Before the war, it was planned to invest 18,500 troops, but the actual number of participants exceeded 20,000. A comprehensive clearing operation was carried out from five directions at the same time against the indigenous Indian tribes entrenched in the area.
Limited by the lack of information and the traditional custom of not communicating with each other for generations, the five major indigenous Indian tribes in the area fell into a situation of fighting on their own and suffered a one-sided bloodbath.
On a front of more than 600 kilometers, dozens of battles broke out almost simultaneously.
Often a cavalry brigade of more than a hundred people from the Tang Kingdom could launch an attack on an Indian tribe of several thousand people. Amidst the gunfire as dense as popping beans, the Indian warriors who dared to resist fell to the ground and died in droves.
Scenes can be seen everywhere.
After the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom were generally equipped with Colt 1848 lever repeating rifles, their firepower density had a qualitative leap, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than during the war with the United States.
Nowadays, when the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty goes to war, they don't need heavy machine guns to set up traps. They can defeat the enemy with their own fierce firepower and become the king of the battlefield.
The continuous suppression battles lasted until mid-October. Many soldiers from the cavalry brigade went deep into the territory of Texas, USA, and the furthest depth was nearly 100 kilometers, forming a fierce battle with the local Texas Texas Cavalry.
Confrontation.
In view of the rampant cavalry in the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, the U.S. state of Texas urgently gathered 3,700 cavalrymen with the intention of destroying several Oriental cavalry brigades that invaded American territory.
As a result, two consecutive battles ended with the complete defeat of the American cavalry.
post-war inventory;
The U.S. Texas Cavalry lost 1,372 people, 68 were missing, and nearly 1,000 were injured.
There was no damage to the Datang Kingdom. The 478 cavalrymen of the Datang Kingdom who participated in the two battles returned proudly. They also captured a small town on the American border and returned after burning, killing, and looting.
The results of these two battles frightened the Americans, and their newly restored confidence was completely shattered. After the Tang Dynasty King Richard declared war on Mexico, he quietly cowered.
If you can't afford it, you really can't afford it.
The key to achieving such a glorious success was the Colt 1848 repeating rifle commonly equipped by soldiers of the Tang Kingdom. This rifle made many improvements over the original historical Winchester lever rifle.
First, the Colt 1848 repeating rifle has a longer barrel and increased range. It can cause fatal blows to enemy soldiers within a distance of 350 meters and cause greater damage to enemy soldiers within a range of 500 meters.
Second, together with the bullets in the barrel, a total of 13 rounds can be loaded, which is fondly called "Thirteen Rings" by the soldiers, which increases the firepower.
Third, the new rifle has rifling and uses copper-cased fully loaded bullets. The shooting accuracy is greatly improved, and its power cannot be underestimated.
Fourth, the improved design of the locking structure contributes to the excellent range of the new rifle.
It is precisely because of the above advantages that when the large number of American Texas cavalry launches an attack, the Tang Kingdom cavalry can start their mounts at a trot at a constant speed at 350 meters, pick up their repeating rifles and harvest the US cavalry round after round.
Life is like hunting rabbits in the wild.
Ever since
The U.S. cavalry collapsed before entering the 150-meter range and turned into a scattered army. They were chased and beaten by the Tang Kingdom cavalry. How could there not be heavy casualties?
The Americans suffered a huge loss and swallowed it with gritted teeth and blood.
It only took a few days for these Texas rednecks to go from frantically clamoring to make the Eastern Cavalry look good to being defeated in despair.
During the "Determination" clearing operation
More than 20,000 officers and soldiers participated in the war, annihilating more than 68,300 Indian bandits and capturing 193,700 prisoners, including 79,200 Indian women of childbearing age, all of which were hot sources of goods in the population market.
This battle wiped out dozens of Indian tribes, dealt a devastating blow to the five major tribes: the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, and Jicarilla tribes, and completely wiped out the border troubles in New Mexico.
Bring at least 50 years of peace.
after the war
The Department of Corrections of the Ministry of the Interior has added 110,000 Indian hard labor prisoners. Most of them were escorted to railway construction sites and to work in coal mines, iron mines, aluminum, zinc and other mines, exchanging hard work for meager rations.
The Morenzi Copper Mine is the largest receiving site, receiving more than 46,000 Indian slave laborers at one time, which can increase the annual output of the copper mine to 50,000 tons, compared with the current average annual output of 23,000 tons.
Double it again.
On the vast Gobi Desert outside Rio Rancho Fortress
Hundreds of Indian tribal leaders were beheaded, and the blood soaked the long yellow sand red. The strong smell of blood floated on the Gobi Desert. This was the smell of war and death.
With the long horn blowing, King Richard issued the order to march, and the cavalry on the Gobi Desert drew out the shining swords at their waists, waved them, and shouted loudly;
"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the king."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Hearing the tens of thousands of cavalry shouting in unison, the sound shook the sky. Richard, who was sitting high on the horse, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The confidence of the entire army is high and the morale is usable. I am very satisfied!"
"I respectfully wish that your majesty will be successful in your departure, expand the territory for the kingdom again, and establish unparalleled great achievements." Earl Gu Yan led a group of civil and military courtiers to see him off, and they all clasped their fists and saluted.
Among the people seeing him off, the four great demon generals under the Demon King whom Americans feared were all present, but none of them went out in uniform.
In this battle, His Majesty the King appointed only up-and-coming newcomers, with the highest military rank being colonel and not even a brigadier general.
