Wild North America 1846
Chapter 206 The Chic Enclosed House
In the original history
The War in Kansas from 1854 to 1859 was a civil war between southern slaveholders and northern anti-slavery activists in the United States for control of the state of Kansas.
After the mid-19th century, the territory of the United States expanded rapidly. In the Kansas-Nebraska region west of the Missouri River, an increasing number of people went to colonize and demanded the establishment of new states.
This area is north of 36°30′ N. According to the provisions of the Missouri Compromise (1820), it should join the Union as a free state. However, the southern slave owners relied on their advantages in the government and the Senate to try to expand plantations in this area.
Animal husbandry advocates the practice of slavery.
Today, there are two state governments in Kansas, one is a state government established by northern liberals, and the other is a state government established by southern slaveholding factions. The two sides refuse to give in to each other, are at war with each other, and have established their own armed forces.
It seems bizarre that such a thing would happen within a country, but it was normal in the American Federation in the mid-19th century.
Due to the sharp opposition between the positions of legislators from the North and the South, the contradiction is very profound and may lead to a crisis.
Therefore, President Taylor of the federal government did not dare to take a rash stance on this issue. He supported neither the South nor the North, but adopted a conciliatory approach.
Because the "Kansas question" is a minefield. If you agree with the South, you will definitely offend Northern liberals, and vice versa, thus endangering your own security.
In other words, those radicals will never let the president go, and will definitely take every possible way to retaliate wildly.
"The problem in Kansas has been around for a long time. The Tang Kingdom supports traditional life for thousands of years and is highly vigilant and resists those crazy liberals.
They are destroyers and worms of the traditional life system, subversives outside the world's mainstream national systems, and spreading dangerous ideas.
The Kingdom of Tang Dynasty is willing to work with our southern friends to maintain close commercial exchanges with each other in order to maintain our traditional life.
when necessary
Together with close allies such as Britain and France, we will become a strong backing for our southern friends and provide practical support."
Richard's statement represented the official position of the Tang Kingdom, which resonated strongly in the heart of Jefferson Davis.
He said: "Thank you for your Majesty's understanding and support. I will convey your Majesty's good intentions to friends in the southern states. As you said, in order to maintain our traditional way of life, southerners will not hesitate to fight."
Richard expressed his approval with a warm expression. After a cordial conversation, the two parties reached an agreement on further strengthening the relationship between the two parties, and everyone was happy.
After seeing off Jefferson Davis, Richard was in a good mood. This kind of instigating bad things made him feel happy.
He inadvertently glanced at the royal secretary-general Gu Yan, and seeing the thoughtful look on his face, he smiled and said, "Why, are you worried about the southerners?"
"Your Majesty, I think the South and the North of the United States will have a war sooner or later!"
In front of His Majesty, Gu Yan didn't need to hide his inner thoughts, he thought about it and said;
"In the past two years
The U.S. Congress has staged all-out acts of violence on many occasions, with members of the North and the South getting bloody blows. This kind of fierce political struggle has never been seen before, and the Taylor administration could not hold back the momentum of fierce fighting between the two sides.
Maybe the same fate as former President Burke will befall Taylor.
This Jefferson Davis was a staunch separatist, and he was able to hold the position of chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. This shows how deep the rift between the north and the south of the United States is.
Regarding the current new trends in the U.S. federal government, the Royal Court and the Army General Staff Headquarters should formulate a series of response plans to avoid being caught off guard and responding inappropriately when the incident breaks out.
Wei Chen feels that this is both a crisis and an opportunity.
How should we deal with it? Please ask the Holy Spirit for clear instructions."
"Do your own thing well, develop the economy in a down-to-earth manner, and just sit back and wait for changes." Richard replied calmly.
Seeing His Majesty's confident expression, Gu Yan immediately felt a lot more at ease. He clasped his hands in a respectful manner and replied, "I know this, and I will definitely do it according to His Majesty's instructions."
After the meeting
The maid from the royal court came to report and said: "I have reported to your majesty, and a banquet has been prepared in the harem, waiting for your majesty's arrival."
"Oh, lead the way."
"This slave obeys your order."
With the pretty maid of the royal court leading the way, Richard strode towards the harem, passed through the domed hall, passed through the verandah, passed through the apse and then walked through the long corridor before arriving at the residence of the queen.
This is the same splendid dome hall, but the shape is different. It is more suitable for holding royal banquets, dances, concerts and other leisure activities, rather than daily government affairs.
While eating in the small restaurant on the side of the main hall, Queen Lin Zhen'er heard the news and came out to greet her. She led a group of maids in the inner palace to collect blessings and praised them in unison: "Your Majesty."
"The queen is exempt from the gift."
Richard stepped forward and helped Queen Lin Zhen'er up. The two looked at each other and smiled. Lin Zhen'er had a blush on her face for no reason. She quietly pushed Richard's arm and followed her to the small banquet hall.
.
The dining table covered with white tablecloth was decorated with flowers, wine bottles and cold dishes, all prepared by the chef brought by Queen Lin Zhen'er from the Governor's Mansion.
Richard sat down without hesitation, and Lin Zhen'er followed closely and sat beside him, immediately giving an order: "Your Majesty is already here, please order the kitchen to serve hot dishes."
"Slave, I obey." The maid immediately turned and left after accepting the order.
After a while
A variety of sumptuous dishes were served like water, all of which were Richard's favorite dishes, including steamed bear paws, roasted goose, large fish heads with chopped peppers, lion heads, Buddha jumping over the wall, grilled lamb chops, and rock-roasted large fish heads.
Lobsters, various varieties are served on a large table, and it looks like they are dishes cooked with care.
"When a queen is courteous to others, she must ask for something, right?" Richard asked pointedly. He turned his face and looked at Queen Lin Zhen'er's elegant face.
Lin Zhen'er's face was red at this moment, she secretly pushed Richard's arm with her hand, and said in an annoyed and helpless tone: "To be honest with you, your majesty, I have the appearance of a willow tree, and I was favored by your majesty to be promoted to the position. I should have paid all my attention to it."
I will do my best to serve the king. But I am so frail that I cannot withstand His Majesty’s spirit, so I have to call in reinforcements..."
Speaking of which
Queen Lin Zhen'er was so embarrassed that she could no longer lift her head. She waved her hand, and four beautifully dressed girls came in one after another from the entrance of the small restaurant, waiting for the summons in front of the dining table.
"These are the four confidant maids who are marrying me, Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei. Your Majesty, please take over the house and help me out on a daily basis."
in old times
When a lady from a wealthy family gets married, she is often accompanied by a housemaid, who is usually a smart and pretty maid who has served the lady since she was a child. This is also a traditional way for the mistress to maintain her favor.
These four maids who accompany the room are thin, plump, pretty, and have tender skin and tender flesh raised in the courtyard of the deep house since they were young. They only serve the young lady, and there are also low-level maids in their own room to serve them.
Enter the palace
Naturally, he was loyal to Queen Lin Zhen'er, helping the queen rule the harem, gathering information and being her favorite. She was originally planned to be a concubine, and they were all beauties selected from a thousand.
Queen Lin Zhen'er originally didn't want to let His Majesty take over the house so early, but who made Richard's body look like it was made of iron? How could she, a fragile girl, bear it?
The earliest concubines in the palace, "Mrs. Yu" and "Mrs. Xiu", both made some achievements. After these two people recovered their health, they always served His Majesty together. They were obviously very experienced.
The same goes for those three Mexican goblins. They always serve His Majesty together so that His Majesty can enjoy themselves to the fullest.
I heard that the concubine Wang Manzhi has asked her escort girls Yun Yan and Yun Cai to join the battle, this foxy girl.
Seeing the four shy women coming in one after another, looking well-groomed, Richard suddenly understood. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and said, "Since the Queen has spoken, I will stay in your palace to serve you from now on."
"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty." The four pretty beauties suddenly flew up to the branches and turned into phoenixes. The joy in their hearts was self-evident, and they all received a blessing.
"Let's serve the meal." Richard couldn't stop his appetite at this time. He had a great appetite. He made two lion heads as big as a child's fist, several kilograms of steamed bear's paws and a roasted goose.
The grilled lamb chops tasted so delicious that even Queen Lin Zhener ate a few more bites.
after meal
The palace maids gathered around carrying gold basins, gold cups, towels, and jade brushes to help His Majesty wash and change clothes, and then went to the harem to rest.
Before leaving
Queen Lin Zhen'er made a gesture to follow, and then followed His Majesty to the palace.
Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei, these four pretty women, were both happy and frightened in their hearts, and followed them to the palace with inexplicable uneasiness.
Although they have never eaten pork, they can always know the slightest bit of gossip in the deep palace. His Majesty is also an invincible general in bed. He is very powerful!
after a while
Naturally, the palace is filled with panting and spring scenery, so I won’t describe them one by one here...
Spring 1852
After Wang Jia arrived at the Colorado Plateau, he inspected the Red Rock Valley Fortress, Phoenix Castle's Cherry Creek Fortress, Denver Main Fortress, and the First, Second and Third Forts to inspect the cavalry training and infantry guard conditions.
Even in times of peace, as the fortress frontline in the central part of the Tang Kingdom, the armaments here cannot be relaxed for a moment.
The inspection results made Richard quite satisfied, and the garrison commander of Phoenix Castle was now replaced by Major General Tian Mantun.
This is a stable and reliable middle-aged general. After the Tang-Mo War, he was promoted to major general due to his meritorious service. He was awarded the title of viscount and a fief, and was responsible for guarding the border fortress.
A system has been established for senior generals in the Tang Dynasty to take turns to serve. The old Major General Kahn is now transferred to the principal of Chang'an Lecture Hall, responsible for training new recruits admitted to the military academy.
Such a system of rotation of senior generals can avoid the shortcomings of long-term military power and the formation of hills of their own inherent power. It can also avoid the evil of "soldiers as generals" and the formation of hilltops in the military.
The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty only need to be loyal to the royal family. Those who try to form cliques in the army will not be lenient if they find one and eliminate them.
During the Jinghu Palace
From time to time, Richard sent falcons to the Hugo Fortress, which was built at a huge cost in the United States, and even more than 650 kilometers east to Kansas City and northeast to Chicago to investigate the U.S. military's combat readiness.
The results obtained were similar to what was expected. The situation of Fort Hugo was even worse than expected. The six large fortress-like post stations along the way from Kansas City to Fort Hugo were basically abandoned, with only a few people left to guard supplies.
At fort Hugo
Looking down from an eagle's eye view, Richard only found about 2,300 U.S. troops stationed here. Hundreds of U.S. troops were plowing and irrigating farmland on the large land between Wudaowan Reservoir and Heli Reservoir every day, and vigorously carried out spring plowing and production.
As for the remaining American soldiers, they should be stationed in the fort, with a total number of no less than a thousand.
There are hundreds of civilians and women in the Hugo Fortress, running taverns, department stores, restaurants, restaurants and brothels. It seems that they plan to stay there for a long time.
Every 3 to 4 days, a train will arrive, transporting various supplies from fodder to military supplies, and taking turns to garrison and take personnel on vacation. After all, this is a frontline fortress stationed with more than 3,000 troops, and houses thousands of war horses and
There is a lot of demand for pack horses, green mules, and supplies.
If the trees on the oasis had already been cut down, and the vegetation had been set on fire several times in late autumn, now when spring returns to the earth, there are only sparse green weeds.
Therefore, most of the material supplies for Fortress Hugo need to be sent from the rear. The army can grow some fruits and vegetables by itself, and that's basically the end of it.
Looking at the hinterlands of Kansas and Chicago, Richard found no signs of soldiers gathering, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.
Today, the Colorado Plateau has changed dramatically. There are endless green fields with ditches and fragrant rice. Chic small towns are dotted among them. The scenery is beautiful and beautiful against the distant snow-capped mountains.
The architectural shape of these small towns is a bit like the enclosed houses in southern China, some are large, some are small, some are round, some are square, and some are irregular.
Often five, six or more than a dozen enclosed houses form a township, which looks unique.
The characteristics of these enclosed houses are very distinct. Often five, six or even a dozen families live together. The three-story houses are connected into enclosed houses. The first floor has no windows, forming a small enclosed fortress. The second and third floors are surrounded by houses.
The windows are opened densely, which can not only fully guide the light, but also provide protection from danger.
Some of these villagers who are willing to live together are life and death comrades in the same cavalry squad, some are fellow villagers, and some are of the same race. They have a very close relationship with each other, more than brothers.
Even if one day, the U.S. military can attack the Colorado Plateau in a large scale, these unique houses scattered on the plateau, like defensive fortresses one after another, will be enough to give the U.S. military a headache.
After Richard lived on the plateau for more than a month, in mid-April, taking advantage of the official opening of the Phoenix-Omaha railway, he took his concubine Wang Manzhi and three Mexican goblins and headed north to explore the six northern provinces.
Inspection tour.
The reason why Queen Lin Zhen'er did not follow him but took the train back to Chang'an Maple Leaf Palace was because the Queen was pregnant and could no longer follow His Majesty around.
