Wild North America 1846

One night passed

The next day, the sky and the earth were covered with snow, and it snowed heavily at night, turning the castle and the city of Omaha into a fairy tale world.

Richard woke up from a blanket of snow and went to take a shower and wash himself energetically. After a while, he came to the tall European-style window in his pajamas and looked out with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Looking down from the fortress on the high ground, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Omaha after the snow. This is a border city with a population of more than 100,000.

About 370 kilometers south from here, along the Missouri River, you can directly reach Kansas City, a transportation hub in the middle of the United States.

From here, head north for more than 100 kilometers and go up the Missouri River to Sioux City. Continuing further north, you will reach Peel City, the capital of South Dakota Province. It was another important military town along the river in the Tang Dynasty. It was a good place where military nobles had densely held fiefdoms.

place.

The distinctive feature of these three cities is that they were all built along the Missouri River. This mighty river has nurtured countless fertile lands along the river. The vast alluvial plains and forest wetlands formed by it are a paradise for humans and animals.

Not far from Omaha to the east, there are Davenport and Chicago, important towns in the Great Lakes region. These cities are on the same latitude, with distinct climates and four distinct seasons. They are located on the vast central plains, rich in products, and crisscrossed by streams.

, is a rare and good place.

Unfortunately, Omaha is located on the border, and due to congenital conditions, the industrial economy has never developed.

This is an important place for agricultural and animal husbandry production. The main industries in the city are pork, beef and mutton food canneries and handmade leather workshops. There are also dozens of gunsmith workshops, breweries, and bacon workshops. The Omaha ham produced here is quite famous.

, is one of the local specialties.

Richard picked up the hot coffee in his hand and took a few sips. He stared at the peaceful snow-covered city with his deep eyes, and suddenly smiled confidently, revealing his snow-white teeth.

He plans;

When the vast land on the east bank of the river is acquired, a bridge will be built here in Omaha, which will fly from east to west and turn the chasm into a thoroughfare.

By then

Since Omaha is located on the main road that connects the north, south, and east and west, and has a huge flow of logistics and people, is it still worried that the economy will not develop?

In June of this year, the Central Railway, which took seven years, will be fully completed. It will run from Chang'an City (San Francisco) in the hinterland of the Kingdom, to Sacramento all the way east to Salt Lake City, and then from Salt Lake City to the east over the mountains of Nevada, a total of about 510 kilometers.

You can directly reach Taoyuan City on the Colorado Plateau, and continue about 732 kilometers east from Taoyuan City to Omaha.

This is the central railway trunk line of the Tang Kingdom. It is also a super project built along the site of the original Pacific Railway. It is called the Central Railway, also known as the "Nevada Railway".

According to a prearranged military mobilization plan;

Starting from February 1858, no less than 10 large immigration ships will be arranged to arrive at various ports along the coast of China every month. The recruits will be trained for 6 months, with a transport speed of 16,000 to 18,000 people per month.

, safely delivered to Oak Bay Port in North America.

Oak Bay Port is a coastal port in Pana County north of Chang'an City (San Francisco). It is a complete military port and is also the station of the Kingdom's sailing fleet. The nearby Oak Town is a small town with a population of more than 10,000, and most of the residents in the town are navy

The families of officers and soldiers, naval shipyard employees and some fishermen are kept confidential. There is a branch railway connected to the coastal railway and the central railway network.

Therefore, it was also chosen as the North American landing port for mainland recruits.

After taking a short rest here, the mainland recruits will be reorganized and sent to the Salt Lake City military base, where they will begin live-fire training and difficult combat and tactical training, ready for action.

By the end of 1858, the Tang Kingdom will have added more than 200,000 well-trained mainland recruits throughout the year. This will be a powerful mobile field corps capable of influencing the situation in North America. The soldiers have undergone long-term and complete military training and are considered elite.

The volunteer militias in the North and South of the United States are not comparable.

On Paradise Island, the Tang Kingdom also has 50,000 well-trained volunteer militiamen who can be deployed at any time according to the situation.

After the above-mentioned careful arrangements

The Tang Kingdom was able to mobilize nearly 400,000 troops without the need for military mobilization and without affecting economic development, of which more than 300,000 could be used for mobile operations in the field, which was definitely a big deal.

In order to support such a huge military mobilization operation, the Tang Dynasty government and the royal family planned to spend 37.5 million yuan on mainland recruits alone. This money was worth 7.5 million pounds, of which 2/3 was borne by the Royal Household Office, the Royal Finance and Bank

The loan is in the ratio of 4:6, with each party bearing the remaining part.

Only with such a huge prestige as Richard can he suppress the criticism from all parties and vigorously implement the plan, and prepare enough strong military power to finally intervene in the North American war situation and determine the outcome in one battle.

Two dogs fight, play off.

In order to secure his position on Diaoyutai, Richard has spent a lot of money on the military in the past two years. In addition to the cavalry and fortress defense troops, the entire army's infantry has been equipped with the new Colt 1857 bolt-action rifle, which is similar to the original time and space

The "Mauser 1888" bolt-action rifle has a long range and high accuracy. Compared with the 11mm Minie rifle that fires black powder and is equipped by the British army, it has leapt to a new level.

The Colt 1857 bolt-action rifle leads the world's infantry weapons trend, adopting more than 60 innovative technologies. The new smokeless bullet uses Nobel Laboratory's nitroglycerin explosive, which is the world's leading smokeless explosive.

Thanks to Mr. Nobel's invention, the Tang Kingdom continued to consolidate its advanced position in the chemical industry. In particular, yellow smokeless explosives have begun mass production and are widely used in the military industry.

Colt Arms Company's newly designed 7.92mm rimless bottleneck bullet will lay the foundation for the design of bullets for the next century and a half, leading the trend in infantry weapons.

The new rifle has rifling engraved in the barrel. It has a long shooting distance, high power and high accuracy. The effective coverage area of ​​the bullet is between 650 and 700 yards, and it has strong lethality within 800 yards.

Compared with the Colt repeating rifle (long-barreled version) commonly known as the "Thirteen Rings", which has a shooting range of up to 350 yards, and the British Minie rifle, which has a shooting range of 600 yards, the new Colt 1857 bolt-action rifle is undoubtedly more powerful.

Larger, more accurate, and more lethal, it has become the focus of the army's replacement of infantry weapons and equipment.

As for the Kingdom's cavalry, they are still equipped with Colt (short-barreled) repeating rifles. This rifle has proven that on a bumpy horseback, intensive firepower is more important than shooting accuracy and range.

Another new piece of equipment for the infantry is the standard wooden-handled grenade. This weapon has been mass-produced and gathered in the arsenal, but it has not been distributed to the troops. Instead, it is held in the hands of the infantry as a weapon, preparing to make a splash in major battles.

Richard's original intention was to use grenades, a cutting-edge weapon, in the major battle to conquer Chicago.

Urban street fighting is a major issue that cannot be avoided by a powerful army, whether in the future or in the future. The Tang Kingdom has no ready-made experience to learn from in this field, and can only explore and practice.

In Salt Lake City at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there are a large number of urban buildings built in the barracks. This will be used as a live ammunition training ground to lay the foundation for exploring various tactics in urban assault and then accept the test of harsh war.

These valuable experiences tempered by the lives of soldiers and the flames of war will form a set of urban combat regulations, which will be used to build a powerful and invincible army.

War has never been a child's play, and the destiny of the country is always on the line.

Richard is a person who has a very big picture view. He has been hoarding supplies for the war for many years. Now he is preparing to invest huge sums of money to train a large number of mainland recruits and make all preparations for participating in the North American hegemony.

Even if it costs a lot of money, I won't hesitate.

He believes that "no one can achieve success for no reason, and all efforts are in places that others cannot see." Even if he has the foresight and cheating skills, in this kind of North American battlefield where millions of people are fighting fiercely, he can still succeed.

It's just a drop in the ocean.

If you want to flap your butterfly wings and change history, you must start from the foundation bit by bit, guide the people of the Tang Dynasty to change in the direction of self-reliance and self-confidence, take pride in your identity as the "Celestial Kingdom", and build the people's strong national self-confidence.

He has a deep sense of belonging to the kingdom and is proud of the noble Chinese blood flowing through him.

Among them, some things that Richard wanted to be added, such as iron-blooded warlikeness, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, aggressiveness with a strong personal style of the monarch, noble values ​​of honor and disgrace among the nobles and soldiers, etc., formed a unique kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

distinctive mark.

Just like what the British often like to say: "The majesty of the British Empire cannot be denigrated."

Britain has dominated the world for more than a hundred years, which has brought a high sense of honor and pride to all citizens. In the future World War I and II, the British will lead the tough European allies to win the final victory, continuing the Anglo-

Saxon glory on the world stage.

The Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty also needs such a sense of national identity and a high sense of honor. It is not to imitate the British. It is to regain the "spirit of Han and Tang Dynasties", retrieve the glorious historical memory of the past, erase the servility imposed on the Han people by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and restore the

Create a national spirit of high patriotism, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-reliance.

Richard had already prepared a sentence: "Those who openly commit crimes against the Tang Empire will be punished no matter how far they are from thousands of miles away."

It has not been launched for the time being. Firstly, the national strength is not enough to dominate North America. Secondly, there is no opportunity to properly show off. Thirdly, national education is continuing to advance and it will take time for it to ferment and gain universal recognition. That is one glorious event after another.

Only victory can establish the people's universal faith and strong national self-confidence.

Really want to talk about it

As a historical pioneer in leading the industrial revolution, the British Empire took the lead in entering the industrialized society. In the mid-19th century, its colonies had reached 22 million square kilometers, and its industrial output accounted for 1/3 of the world's share. It was truly the world's factory.

Step into Victoria's most glorious period.

After the Crimean War

After a short break of two years, Britain started a new round of colonial frenzy around the world. The British Chinese Foreign Legion followed the British expansion and colonial footsteps, entering the Caucasus, the Near East, Egypt and South Africa, and entering the Ivory Coast of Africa.

Entering the Straits Settlements in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Myanmar and Sri Lanka in South Asia, and about to enter the Kingdom of Afghanistan...

The old colonists led by the British are continuing the glory of the Anglo-Saxons and pushing the glory of the Victorian era to its peak. There are indeed many remarkable things that are worthy of careful reference and study by the Tang Kingdom.

However, in the field of national spirit, Richard has always advocated putting me first, suppressing and combating the extreme speech of domestic violence, and advocating drawing the power of innovation from the rich Chinese history and culture, which is "Reviving the Heroes of the Han and Tang Dynasties"

.

The ancestors left a rich legacy, which allowed the Tang Dynasty to pick and choose the essence and discard the dross, selectively inherit and carry forward the cultural essence of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and form a national spirit unique to the Tang Empire.

The Anglo-Saxon white culture, which is dominated by the British, is not always good. It is only suitable for small countries or disadvantaged ethnic groups with weak cultural heritage to fully accept it, and it is definitely not suitable for the Chinese.

This is because the British believe in God, and religion occupies a core position in the Gullo-Saxon culture. It is a distinctive mark that is indelible and is reflected in all aspects of cultural inheritance.

If you want to be ****, you must accept the baptism of Western religions and become a "banana man" with yellow skin and white heart.

For the Chinese who claim to be the "Celestial Kingdom" with a profound history, this is undoubtedly a rebellious act that humiliates their ancestors and sells themselves to seek refuge. It is a disgrace to the family lineage and is shameless!

Since ancient times

In the culture of the Han and Tang dynasties, there is an ancient saying that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." It uses a simple metaphor to reflect the dialectical relationship between the king and the people.

"Old Book of Tang·Biography of Wei Zheng": "If you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses."

Because of this, the people in the Han and Tang dynasties were extremely dignified, and their ministers and ministers were as good as the crucian carp crossing the river, creating the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Comparison

The Gullo-Saxon culture is much rougher and simpler. Religion has become the spiritual pillar. The British who believe in God are resigned and attribute all suffering in life to "God's will." Therefore, in the history of the United Kingdom for more than a thousand years,

, peasant uprisings rarely occur and lack the spirit of resistance.

The feudal lords took away the land of local farmers, burned their houses, forced their wives, and oppressed the farmers to live in water and fire. They could only live a hard life of black bread and potatoes. British farmers did not

Will resist but petition.

The largest recorded peasant uprising in British history was the Watt-Taylor Rebellion;

The peasant rebels marched north and first captured the important town of Canterbury, which was not only an important political, cultural, and economic center in southern England, but also the Archdiocese of Canterbury.

Here, the angry peasant rebels executed the Archbishop of Canterbury who brutally oppressed the people, burned a large number of documents of feudal bureaucracy, burned down a palace, and dispersed the wealth and food collected by the noble lords and the church to other peasants.

The program of the British peasants' uprising was:

The king wants us to pay a poll tax of 4 pence. We really have no money to pay. We must petition the king to cancel the poll tax!

This is their political program. As for subverting the royal power, eliminating the cruelly exploiting noble lords and churches, and establishing a regime in which peasants are the masters of the country, these British peasants have never considered it, nor dare to think about it. They have no such concept at all.

Because God does not allow it, religion imprisons people's thoughts.

In 1385, hundreds of thousands of peasant rebels surrounded the Tower of London. King Charles II of England only had a few hundred guards. There was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

The helpless King Charles II pretended that he wanted to negotiate with the rebels. The leader of the rebels, Walter Taylor, was so happy that he ran over and was killed by the king's guards.

The rebels still did not accept the lesson, so they were summoned by the king. Another rebel leader, John Ball, also ran over and was arrested as expected. He was tortured and died.

Subsequently, King Charles II of England gave a public speech to the farmers, which mainly focused on three points:

First, the crops are about to be harvested. Let’s go back and harvest the crops. Otherwise, what will happen if the fields are barren?

Second, in the name of the king, I give everyone a decree of freedom. Although I killed my guards and robbed my property, I forgive your crimes.

Third, I know about your petition and I will seriously consider it.

Especially the third point of his speech was really awesome. The king did not agree to the peasants' petition at all. He just said that I know and I can think about it...

The peasant rebels were very happy when they heard this. They felt that the king's words were too good, so let's not stay here and go back to harvest crops. So hundreds of thousands of people immediately dispersed.

Subsequently, the king carried out crazy and bloody revenge on the disorganized peasant uprising army...

This was the largest peasant uprising recorded in British history, and the process was so absurd that it was unbelievable.

The reason can be summed up as this; it is the huge spiritual shackles that religion casts in the hearts of every British person, imprisoning the spirit of resistance.

As a powerful world hegemon and the first country to enter industrialization, Britain's industrial economic output accounts for 1/3 of the world, with colonies all over the world, and its economic strength is undoubtedly strong.

However, the "Great Irish Potato Famine" happened just a few years ago and lasted for nearly five years. More than 1 million Irish people died of starvation. The tragic scene cannot be repeated.

This is another ruthless side of the Anglo-Saxon culture. Not to mention that they do not regard the people of the colonies as human beings, they are their own people in the British Isles, and they exploit them without mercy.

Take a look at the "enclosure movement" in the early days of the Industrial Revolution in the UK, which caused a large number of British farmers to lose their land and were forced to go to factories to find a hard job. The hard work of more than ten hours a day could only

In exchange for three pieces of bread.

In order to reduce costs, unscrupulous British factory owners hired a large number of child laborers aged eight, nine to ten years old, who only needed to be given a piece of bread every day.

There are even some unscrupulous factory owners who employ children as young as five or six years old just because these children have less to eat. This is a lack of morality. There is no bottom line in life, allowing white British factory workers to cruelly exploit their compatriots for profit.

Australia, which inherits the spirit of white British people, did not legislate until 1967 to recognize that "local indigenous people are legal human beings" rather than wild beasts that can be enslaved and hunted at will. This is evident from this.

Don't be blinded by the white left culture of later generations in Europe, nor be swayed by the "human rights concept" advocated by Europeans. In Anglo-Saxon culture, there has never been a saying of "sympathy for the weak". This is all the result of the later prosperity.

The Europeans who have gotten up and are idle have come up with things that can demonstrate their superiority over others.

This kind of culture is not the culture that the Tang Kingdom needs to become a powerful nation.

So what does the Tang Kingdom need?

In fact, there are too many choices in the cultural heritage of our ancestors. Du Fu's poem goes like this: Three thousand resentful women were released from the palace, and four hundred condemned prisoners returned to prison.

AD 632

When Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, personally reviewed and reviewed the death penalty cases, there were nearly 400 death row inmates in the files. He was worried that there were injustices, so Tang Taizong talked to the death row inmates one by one. The inmates on death row all said that they had committed a capital crime and deserved to die, and that the sentences were fair and not unjust.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was very moved after hearing this, because the death penalty was all executed after the autumn, so he said to these prisoners on death row:

I make a gentleman's agreement with you. Now that it is winter, I will let you go back to spend the Spring Festival and reunite with your family. After the autumn harvest next year, we will gather here again.

The four hundred prisoners on death row burst into tears of gratitude and went home happily.

After the autumn of the next year, all these death row prisoners returned to Dali Temple Prison, and no one escaped or hid.

Volume 197 of Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" records:

In Xinwei, the emperor personally imprisoned him and saw the deceased. Min Zhi, even if he returned home, expected to die as soon as he came to the ball.

He still ordered all the prisoners on death row in the world to be sent to the capital at the appointed time.

Last year, there were 390 people on death row in the world who had no one to supervise them. They all went to court as scheduled and no one died. They were all pardoned.

This is a historical fact recorded in history. Whenever he reads this, Richard will be shaken. He is impressed by the spiritual outlook reflected in the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and yearns for it.

The so-called: The warehouse is solid and the etiquette is sufficient.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty implemented a land equalization system, where everyone had land to farm, and the whole country was united. This was the fundamental reason for the economic improvement.

By the 89th year of Zhenguan, there were cattle and horses everywhere, the people had enough food and clothing, they didn't close their doors at night, and they didn't pick up things on the street. There was a prosperous scene of peace.

So how much land do people have for farming?

Middle-aged and young men over the age of 18 will each receive eighty acres of land and twenty acres of Yongye land.

An old man, a disabled man, will be allocated 40 acres of land, and a widowed concubine will be allocated 30 acres of land. If these people are heads of households, each of them will receive 20 acres of permanent land and 30 acres of land.

Considering that in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the total population was only more than 2 million households, and it only recovered to 3.04 million households in the 13th year of Zhenguan, about 12.35 million people, there is a large amount of farmland that can be implemented under the equalization system, so that every household has a surplus of food and the people have enough food and clothing.

.

This situation is very consistent with the current Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in the public opinion led by the government, there are often lengthy reports on the glorious past of the Han and Tang Dynasties, leading the people of the kingdom to spontaneously rise a cultural trend of admiring the ancient customs and involuntarily doing so.

Fascinated.

As the saying goes: Sneak into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

The Los Angeles Times has a column called "Glorious Scenes of the Han and Tang Dynasties", which often uses a poem or a historical record to bring out the glorious scenes of the past that have been accumulated in the heavy dust of history, and guide the public to see the good and empathize with them.

For example;

During the Kaiyuan period, peace lasted for a long time, and there were no worries in the surrounding suburbs. People lived in the fields, mulberry trees and hemp were woven, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard.

At that time, we were traveling westward outside the far gate, covering an area of ​​more than ten thousand miles. There were no people picking up things on the road, no food for travelers, and no weapons for the strong men.

Another example;

Unless there is a flood or drought, the people will have enough food for their families, their houses will be full, and their treasuries will have enough goods and wealth.

The money in the capital is huge, and it is rotten and cannot be corrected.

The millet in Taicang is full of dew and accumulates outside, until it becomes rotten and inedible.

Another example;

Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, the small town still had thousands of households. The rice was greasy and the corn was white, and both the public and private warehouses were abundant.

Such a prosperous era of civil society and martial arts is the prosperity of the kingdom that Richard longs for. He hopes that every Chinese will stick to their moral bottom line when they become rich, build bridges and pave roads to benefit their country and benefit others.

This is something that laws and regulations cannot do. We need to draw moral strength from the rich historical inheritance and spread it to everyone. This is the most precious part of Chinese culture.

Richard is confident that he will persevere and not only carry out extensive traditional Chinese cultural education in primary and secondary schools to lay a good foundation.

Moreover, through the public opinion mouthpiece controlled by the government, excellent cultural inheritance must be instilled day after day, year after year, and for decades, nourishing the soul of every citizen, so as to achieve the ideal state.

The rich accumulation of Chinese culture subtly establishes a correct outlook on life and morality, which is crucial to the stable development of a country.

The Anglo-Saxon culture, dominated by the British, is much simpler and cruder. It only believes in God and believes in God for eternal life. The homeless and unemployed workers in cities and villages do not dare to rebel, but they take risks to rob, steal, and kill.

There are countless people, and the prison is overcrowded.

The British government really had no way to arrange for so many prisoners, so it could only transport prisoners by shipload to the British territories in thirteen states in North America. Later, when the United States became independent and no longer wanted these social dregs, the British sent shiploads of prisoners to them.

Australia transports prisoners.

Since 1788, 165,000 British prisoners have been sent to Australia, becoming a country developed by prisoners...

Let’s look at the prosperous Tang Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. At the very least, there were only twenty-nine death penalty cases a year. This is the correct solution to achieve world unity.

The Yankees are loyal believers in the Gru-Saxon culture. Today's prisons are overcrowded with prisoners. Whether they are southern slave owners or northern factory owners, they will never regard black people or employees as human beings.

Instead, they desperately squeeze out the workers’ blood and sweat.

This is a manifestation of the lack of collective morality. The Tang Kingdom cannot learn from these bad examples.

On January 22, 1858, Richard concluded his inspection at Fortress Omaha and embarked on a journey to Jinling in the Southern Province.

Now the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty has officially intervened in the Mexican Civil War. Troops from four field divisions have moved south on a large scale, joining forces with the Mexican government to severely encircle and suppress the southern rebels, singing triumphant songs on all fronts.

Having withstood the harsh training of the European war, the field divisions stationed in the Southern Military Region have strong combat capabilities and are well-equipped. They can deal with the Mexican southern rebels who are like novices in a dimensionality-reducing strike and can easily capture them.

in many battles

The troops of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty played more of a supervisory role, holding down the position and pressing their shining bayonets and black muzzles on the backs of the Mexican government troops, forcing them to rush forward desperately.

The army is still the same army, but the combat effectiveness it unleashes is different.

Originally, the Mexican government troops had acceptable equipment, but their discipline was extremely poor and their combat effectiveness was lax. They collapsed on the battlefield against the southern rebels.

Now there was no place to run. Under the strict supervision of the Tang Kingdom's army, the Mexican government officers and soldiers who were running around on the battlefield were shot to death without any mercy at all.

When the military music of the attack sounds, one can only move forward but not retreat.

Anyone who doesn't obey orders will be killed!

Anyone who fears the enemy like a rat shall be killed!

Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will be killed!

Anyone who flees without permission will be killed!

Those who ignore military discipline will be killed!

If you can't shrink to the former, behead!

…

Once the murderous discipline was promulgated, the Mexican government troops seemed to have changed. Their attacks became more like a look, they were able to sustain fierce battles, and they became more active in encirclement and suppression. They had a completely new look from top to bottom, and they looked quite similar.

That's what happened.

Richard's inspection trip to the Southern Province this time was to further integrate high-level Mexican officials and dignitaries. At the same time, he was also cheering for the coalition officers and soldiers fighting on the front line and encouraging everyone to better complete their combat missions. This also included the Mexican government forces.

.

If you make progress, you should praise it, don't be shabby!
