Wild North America 1846

This side

A large number of Mexican soldiers who were hiding among the corpses and pretending to be dead got up with their hands raised. Many of them were so frightened that they urinated incontinently and left the battlefield shivering under the guard of swords and guns.

Final statistics;

It turned out that more than 4,100 Mexican prisoners, all beards and tails, pretended to be dead and hid in the pile of corpses during the fatal blow, and narrowly escaped the disaster.

The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom drove the prisoners to clear the battlefield. The captured weapons and equipment were piled up into a hill. The corpses of the dead were thrown in rows at the mouth of the valley. They were so dense that one could not see the side. It always shocked the nerves of the Mexican soldiers in the valley.

This hellish scene is more effective than any threatening language. The troops from various states in Mexico have different hearts and minds. General Hector Dos Santos tried his best to calm down the situation.

starting in the evening

A large number of Mexican troops fled the valley in an organized manner. The direction they left was their hometown. These Mexican soldiers were shrouded in deep fear and did not dare to fight anymore.

The only thought of these defeated soldiers was to run away quickly, far away, and return to their hometown.

From dusk to dark, an endless stream of Mexican soldiers in the valley fled, dozens of civil strife broke out, and hundreds of Mexican officers died in this fear-shrouded night.

It's over, it's all over.

During the Taniguchi War, the one-sided massacre of the Tang Kingdom had destroyed the will of resistance of these stragglers in Mexico. Any officer who dared to stop the soldiers from escaping would often be shot to death or hacked to death with knives.

Most of the 27,000 Mexican troops remaining in the valley fled overnight. General Héctor dos Santos was unable to stop them at all. In despair, he shot himself before dawn.

The remaining Mexican army of less than ten thousand people marched out of the valley to surrender early and joined the Tang Kingdom's servants, becoming Mexican cannon fodder troops who were willing to be driven.

To this end, Richard specifically gave the names of two divisions, namely the 1st Division and the 2nd Division of the Mexican National Volunteer Army. Each Mexican Servant Army Musketeer Division has 6,000 soldiers, more than 800 cavalry, and is still equipped with old-fashioned equipment.

flintlock musket.

After this battle

As the news of Taniguchi's victory spread, the whole country of Mexico was shocked. The Tang Kingdom rejoiced and celebrated with lion and dragon dances, while the Americans were silent.

White House

President Taylor silently read the news briefing from Mexico, sighed with a depressed expression, and said;

"I knew that this time the Tang Dynasty had to crush the Mexicans to their bones and suck out their marrow. Northern Mexico must have been lost, but I never thought that crazy King Richard had such a big appetite and wanted to swallow up seven states at once.

Nearly one million square kilometers.”

"His appetite has always been good. If nothing unexpected happens, the territory of the Tang Kingdom will soon exceed that of the United States. This is really depressing news." Secretary of State Roxy Walters said, shaking her head.

in the oval office

White House Chief of Staff Stephen Russ, who was standing at the president's table, frowned, glanced at the speechless President Taylor, sighed and said, "The situation in North America is already very clear. The British and the Orientals of the Tang Dynasty are working together.

, has completely locked up the future development space of the United States. Looking around, there is basically no possibility of expanding territory unless the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty is truly defeated militarily."

"Have you discovered that the Tang Kingdom was able to truly rise and inflict heavy losses on the federal army several times? In fact, it really relied on sharp weapons and equipment, and the talented weapons designer Mr. Samuel Colt was among them.

, played a key role that cannot be ignored." In order to strengthen the force of his words, Secretary of State Roxy Walters stretched out a finger and shook it in the air a few times, and then continued after gaining everyone's attention;

"The only difference between us and the Tang Kingdom is a talented weapons designer. Mr. Samuel Colt used his clever brain to arm the army of the Tang Kingdom to the teeth. That's what we lack."

Secretary of State Roxie Walters' words caused considerable shock in the small-scale conversation in the highest decision-making circle in the Oval Office of the White House.

Most of the senior party officials present here, headed by President Taylor, have military backgrounds. If you interpret this matter from a professional perspective, you will find that this makes sense.

Silent for a while

President Taylor had a sighing expression on his face and said;

"It's a pity that there is only one famous genius weapons designer in the world, Samuel Colt, and the federal government could not give him the wealth and glory that King Richard gave him.

Without such souls, we cannot even handle the industrial production of all-copper custom-loaded bullets. With the current speed of manual production, the annual output of weapons companies is not enough to fight a small war.

Whenever we feel that we are catching up with the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty, they will always come up with more powerful designs.

This is the case with the Colt 1848 lever repeating rifle, and the problem is back to square one;

We cannot design reliable all-copper fixed-loading bullet production equipment, and cannot mass-produce it. In the end, it is just a mirror image."

"Mr. President, we are facing two big problems here." White House Chief of Staff Stephen Russ interrupted at the right time, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and continued;

"The first question is about the 10 weapons patents applied by Colt Arms Company, which have been protected by the United Kingdom, France, and the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, and some of the patents have also been approved by the United States federal government.

If it is just an ordinary character, of course we can ignore it.

But don't forget

Colt Arms Company is the business of Devil Richard and Samuel Colt. They don't like to imitate, and they have enough means to cause us big trouble.

The second problem is that we cannot discover the world's top talented weapons designers like Samuel Colt. Maybe they will appear in the future, but not now."

Speaking of which

Stephen Russ spread his hands and made a concluding speech with a dejected authority: "We need a genius like Samuel Colt. For this, we can even ignore the first question, but it's a pity that we don't have one.

In the final analysis, the only difference between the United States Federation and the Tang Kingdom is Samuel Colt."

His words further dampened everyone's mood. The room was dull for a while. Finance Minister Spencer Shore said dullly: "Even with Samuel Colt, the Ministry of Finance can't get the money."

Provide enough funds to replace equipment for the troops."

"The problems you mentioned can be solved, but weapons designers who lack genius cannot solve them."

Treasury Secretary Spencer Shore heard Secretary of State Roxy Walters's sharp rebuttal. He opened his mouth but closed it again. He was really shocked.

The U.S. federal government can spend hundreds of millions of dollars in pursuit of victory, but can it really not spare tens of millions of dollars to replace equipment?

The cavalry encounter in Kansas completely silenced the usually unruly Texas rednecks.

Whenever the United States felt that it was doing well again, the Tang Kingdom would always come up with sharper weapons and slap them in the face, so no one dared to start a war without knowing the details.

Mexican President Santayo offended "Richard the Devil", what will be the outcome?

Every time I think of this

The core federal officials in the Oval Office, headed by President Taylor, could not help but feel fear rising in their hearts, like a grand shadow falling over them.

Those nightmares of disastrous defeats emerged from the depths of their hearts, making everyone speechless.

"It is impossible for the American Federation to have a talented weapons designer in a short time, but if the Tang Kingdom also loses Samuel Colt, does that mean that in the foreseeable future, the two sides will be on the same level again?

superior?"

At this moment

White House Chief of Staff Stephen Russ made a heart-warming suggestion, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Even President Taylor couldn't help but sit up straight, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes, as if he was seriously considering this issue.

Now it seems

Samuel Colt's endless genius inventions have always been a sting in the hearts of Americans. No one knows when he will have new inventions, once again letting the United States taste the bitterness of defeat in the war.

For example, in the just-concluded Battle of Taniguchi, the Tang Dynasty suddenly came up with a new type of breech-loading artillery, which not only had a long range but also was powerful, and the rate of fire could reach an astonishing one shot per minute. It almost completely defeated them with just artillery.

Mexicans.

The information channels of the Americans are not comparable to those of Mexico. The feedback is fast and the information is detailed. The entire process of the Battle of Taniguchi was ascertained in detail.

The Tang Kingdom's army used new breech-loading artillery and used Colt 1848 repeating rifles on a large scale. Of course, such a big thing will not be ignored.

Every time I think about it, it makes Americans feel chills running down their spines, remembering the fear of being dominated by the sharp weapons of the Tang Dynasty...

White House Chief of Staff Stephen Russ's proposal has indeed gained the tacit approval of core senior officials in the Oval Office, including President Taylor, and will be implemented by a specialized department.

The Battle of Taniguchi broke out between the Tang Dynasty and Mexico on July 16, 1850. Within one day, 47,000 Mexican troops were wiped out. Among them, more than 16,000 Mexican troops were killed and more than 12,000 were captured. The rest fled.

The Tang Kingdom itself suffered more than 410 casualties, including 273 killed in action, and won a great victory at a small cost.

When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Since the beginning of August

After the Tang Dynasty army consolidated its rule in the seven northern states of Mexico, it sent cavalry divisions to go deep into the central states of Mexico, burning, killing, looting and creating panic.

Millions of Mexican refugees fled in panic and rushed to Mexico City in the south-central part of the country, forming an unprecedented refugee flow, which put great pressure on the Mexican government's food supply.

September 3

The 22-meter-wide Central Avenue from north to south, totaling 1,460 kilometers long from Rio Rancho to Juarez to Chihuahua to Cuencamé, the capital of Durango state, was completed with a large number of Mexican convicts working day and night.

The Rio Rancho-Juarez section of the "Central Railway", which is only a hundred meters apart from north to south in the same direction, has been built for more than 500 kilometers and is expected to be completed one and a half months ahead of schedule.

King Richard personally attended the completion and opening ceremony of the "Central Avenue" held in Cuencamé, the capital of Durango state. He highly praised the efforts of relevant parties and encouraged all relevant parties such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of the Interior to unite sincerely and make persistent efforts.

, continue to vigorously promote the construction of the main railway and highway projects in the seven northern states, and contribute to the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China with tangible results.

one and a half months later

October 19

About 500 kilometers of the Rio Rancho-Juarez section of the "Central Railway" have been completed. This is a very symbolic day. The extension of the Tang Kingdom railway line into northern Mexico means a substantial impact on the region.

The occupation is deeper.

On the Central Railway line, there are now about 100,000 Mexican slave laborers working day and night. It has been more than half a year, and thousands of kilometers of railway roadbeds and hundreds of bridges and culverts have been built. This is the same as the "Central Avenue"

The ultra-large-scale infrastructure projects being carried out at the same time have already yielded fruitful results.

Now that the project has entered the final stage, large-scale rail laying has begun, extending southwards at a rate of 10 to 12 kilometers per day, and 330 to 350 kilometers of railway can be laid in a month.

The Mexican convicts who are currently fighting on the Central Railway have gradually moved to other railway construction projects, such as the "Southern Extension of the Central Railway" that continues from Cuencamé to the south, such as traversing the four northern parts of Mexico from east to west.

The "four-state line" of states, such as the "southern line" from southern Sinaloa to southern Sacalucas

The Tang Kingdom spared no effort in carrying out extensive construction projects in seven northern states of Mexico, building transportation arteries based on railways and highway projects. This move strongly stimulated the development of domestic heavy industry, mainly the steel industry, and attracted a large number of Chinese immigrants to the north.

In various states, people engaged in industry, business, and purchased land and real estate, setting off a "southern development boom."

December 7, 1850

About 837 kilometers of the Rio Rancho-Juarez-Chihuahua section of the "Central Railway" has been opened to traffic, and the construction of the "Four-State Line" and the "Southern Line" have started successively, promoting the upsurge of large-scale construction to continue to deepen.

February 6, 1851

One year and four days after King Richard of the Tang Dynasty led his army to invade the south, the main railway line of Rio Rancho-Juarez-Chihuahua-Cuncamé, a total of 1,460 kilometers, was completed.

During the construction of this railway artery project, more than 25,500 convicts fell forever. These builders who fought against all odds spent their lives to connect a land bridge that is more than 3,700 kilometers long from north to south.

The northernmost point is divided into three parts from Phoenix City (Denver), and one line passes through Wyoming Province along the northwest line and finally reaches Helena, an important town in the north of Montana Province.

One line goes along the northeast line to Pierre, the capital of South Dakota Province, but cannot continue to extend to North Dakota because of the obstruction of the wide Missouri River.

A railway line leads from Phoenix (Denver) to the east. The closest city to the United States is Omaha. It is about 830 kilometers away from Chicago to the west and only 277 kilometers from Kansas City to the north. It is the bridgehead city in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom.

.

The Central Railway is the longest railway line in the Tang Kingdom, with a length of more than 3,700 kilometers from north (Helena) to south (Cuncamé).

After the main line was fully opened to traffic, the southern extension of the Central Railway continues to be under construction. Its ultimate goal is Aguascaliente, about 375 kilometers south of Cuencamé. After its completion, the total length of the entire line will reach 4,075 kilometers.

Aguascaliente is a state in central Mexico. It is also the 8th state occupied by the army of the Tang Kingdom. The state capital is the city of Aguascaliente, where King Richard is currently stationed.

The Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty had heavy troops stationed here, and had assembled a total of 13,500 troops and 12,000 Mexican servants in the city of Aguascaliente. It was gathering troops in a hurry to prepare for the decisive battle between the two countries under Mexico City.
