Wild North America 1846

After simply perfunctory with the senior Mexican government officials and offering some sweeteners, Richard sent these senior Mexican government officials who had gained a lot back. There was no point in wasting time on them.

As April is about to enter, the resistance of the Aztec Republic rebels in southern Mexico has been restricted to a small area of ​​​​high mountains, and there is basically no sign of waves coming.

It is not realistic to enter the vast mountains for encirclement and suppression, and the existing troops cannot do it.

The four field divisions of the Southern Military Region and the Mexican government forces moving south have gradually entered a period of rest and recuperation, dispatching some troops to be stationed in traffic arteries and to guard towns entering and exiting the mountainous areas.

On the one hand, they implemented a strong siege against the rebels in the mountains. On the other hand, they actively evacuated prisoners, emptied the population of local towns and villages, and implemented the "household extermination plan." On the other hand, they evaluated meritorious service and awarded awards, and prepared to reward the majority of officers and soldiers who participated in the war.

Expected to be in May~June

More than 10,000 mainland recruits from Salt Lake City will arrive in Mexico City by train one after another, replacing retired veterans to assume garrison and local garrison tasks, and continue to eradicate the remaining bandits.

After this round of severe blows, the originally rebellious Aztec Republic in the south had a population of more than 1.2 million dropped by more than half. After many retired field division veterans received rewards, most of them brought some beautiful Mexican women and

A varying number of captives returned to the fiefdom or the location of the meritorious fields obtained for their merits, and began the process of building their homes.

This will inevitably lead to a further reduction in the population of the Aztec Republic. Many Chinese veterans need labor to build their estates, so they will naturally set their sights on Mexican captives.

Regardless of whether these people were rebels or not, they were prisoners anyway. The military turned a blind eye to this, and the Royal Government refused to comment.

After all, we are not in China, so there is no need to be too strict.

Infiltrating and swallowing up Mexico is not something that can only be done in a year or two. Although the upper management has a consensus on this, it is necessary to find a suitable opportunity. After all, there are still countries such as Britain and France watching eagerly and always whispering in their ears.

Talking incessantly.

It's not that Richard is afraid of them, but there's no need to be too arrogant.

I just swallowed a Costa Rica in my stomach and am slowly digesting it. If I reach out to Mexico immediately, it will be too ugly to eat.

While living in Chapultepec Castle, Richard handled some matters related to the preparations for the establishment of the Aztec government in Mexico and the south, and decided on a railway construction plan that would be funded by the Tang Kingdom and Mexico would provide labor and land.

The new railway line leads from the Gulf of Mexico Railway and connects major cities in Mexico and the Aztec Republic. This is a railway trunk line jointly constructed by the three countries. The Tang Kingdom holds 82% of the equity and owns 10 kilometers of land on both sides of the railway.

Ownership and development rights.

The Kingdom of Datang will send thousands of armed personnel to the above two countries in the name of railway police, as an important force in maintaining social stability, demonstrating the influence of the kingdom.

May 12, 1858

The new Aztec Republic was formally established, and the president of the government was a close relative of the Rodriguez family. This was the result of a game of political power at the top of the Mozambican government, and the Tang Kingdom chose to recognize it.

The new president is called Ribera Rodriguez, a white Hispanic descendant. He once served as the police chief of the Republican District of Mexico City and personally suppressed a large number of Mexican liberals and anarchists. This experience particularly impressed Li.

Under observation.

It doesn’t matter whether a running dog is useful or not. When biting someone, you must bite like crazy to be a qualified running dog.

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was not idle either. They took possession of the large southern mines with the second largest silver output in Mexico, and put 23,000 Mexican coolies into them.

It doesn't matter whether they are prisoners of war or not. What is important is that the occupying forces felt that these strong Mexicans were not good people and needed to be re-educated in hard labor camps.

The remnants of the defeated rebels of the former Aztec Republic were besieged in a small mountainous area of ​​Tacana in the south. There were only less than 4,000 people left including the military and political leaders, and some women and children. They may have to live like savages in the future.

life like that.

The coalition forces have occupied all the traffic arteries and towns around the mountainous area, and local residents have been packed up and relocated, forming a large no-man's land surrounding the mountainous area.

in this case

Unless the remnants of the southern rebels come out and surrender, they will soon collapse on their own. Apart from the supplies they carry with them, they will not be able to replenish even the most basic salt.

Adult men are better off, but how can those women and children carry it?

Although Guatemala, the neighboring country to the south, is adjacent to the Tacana Mountains, this small country in Central America would not even dare to flirt with the remnants of these rebels, for fear of attracting the wrath of the Tang Kingdom.

The top leaders of the Mexican government are secretly discussing that there is no need to go to such great lengths. Those remnants of the previous government are already dead dogs, can they still make a difference?

This wrong view was severely reprimanded by His Majesty the King;

"They are all a bunch of short-sighted idiots. If the Kingdom's army hadn't gone south, it would be you idiots who should be running away now. If a country is managed well by corruption and the people are struggling, how can you talk about the strategy of governing the country?

With your level of governance, you, the powerful, can only manage one village at most.

Regardless of the fact that the remnants of the southern rebels have reached the end of their rope, in my opinion, none of the military and political officials who fled into the mountains are less capable than you. They have great influence in the southern states. As long as they escape from the trap and call out, followers will gather.

At least they know how to unite the people and win people's hearts.

There is an old Chinese saying: if you hit a snake, you will not die, but you will be harmed by it.

Most of these remnants of rebels who would rather throw themselves into the mountains than surrender are nationalists with firm beliefs. After experiencing the temper of failure, their will will become stronger.

Therefore, none of these extremely dangerous elements can be left behind, and the troops stationed in the southern part of the Aztec Republic must be mentally prepared for a long-term blockade.

They must not be transferred easily for at least 2 to 3 years."

The storm of reprimands scared the heads of the Mexican government's senior officials, and they all became silent, and they no longer dared to fool around.

Currently stationed around the Tacana Mountains are the 202nd and 204th Divisions of the Southern Military Region, as well as the 1st and 6th Divisions of the New Aztec Republic, which were transferred from the Mexican government forces, with a total of about 21,000 officers and soldiers.

Traffic jams were set up in 9 important towns and 33 traffic arteries. Except for a few local women, the entire population was relocated.

After handling matters related to the southern tour, Richard embarked on his return to Chang'an City at the end of May, carrying more than 100 beautiful Mexican girls and countless treasures and antiques presented from various places, including ancient Aztec statues and totem pillars.

journey of.

His Majesty the King plans to set up a special Mexican cultural museum in a large side hall of Chang'an Palace to introduce the ancient Indian tribal civilization and Aztec culture, as well as the historical features of Spain's more than 300 years of rule, as a private collection of the royal family.

The relevant special trains were sent 17 times to transport a large number of treasures, antiques and people, which heralded the end of His Majesty the King's southern trip.

The train platform in Mexico City is bustling with people.

A train that just arrived brought in hundreds of Chinese immigrants. Most of them were immigrants who had just finished their bonded labor contracts. Some had arrived in North America for three years, and some had been in four years. They had obtained official residence status in the Kingdom and were able to act as the head of the family.

Open the door and set up a household.

Judging from the demeanor, these Chinese people are full of yearning for a new life. Whether they know the news about southern Mexico from hearsay or from newspapers, the vast majority of Chinese immigrants choose to believe in the Royal Government.

in mobilization

The royal government introduced in detail Mexico's long development history, unique architectural features of the Aztec civilization and Spanish civilization, and a large number of deserted suburban manors and land.

Chinese residents who are willing to immigrate to the area can each receive 10 acres of land for free. In addition, the transfer fee of 5 acres of land will be paid through a loan, totaling 150 yuan.

The Royal Government also revealed in the introduction that if you go early, you may be able to obtain a local Mexican woman at a low price and start a family, which has attracted a large number of unmarried Chinese men.

During the period of fixed-term employment, the employer will also pay 1 to 2 yuan for living expenses every month, and extra overtime work will also be paid. Most Chinese workers who are good at saving have saved a sum of money, which can be as much as fifty or sixty yuan, or as little as thirty or forty yuan.

As soon as the train arrived, I heard someone shouting: "There are female captives ready to be escorted in the train station square ahead. No matter how beautiful or ugly they are, the price is 30 yuan each. First come, first served!"

I don’t know if someone deliberately spread the news, but it immediately caused a sensation. Many Chinese immigrants rushed away carrying large and small luggage, causing a commotion on the platform.

Lieutenant Fan Pengju, Captain Hu Hanbiao and other officers of the Royal Guards who had just arrived here saw this and looked at the square in the distance with a surprised look. It was very crowded with people there.

Lieutenant Liu Shunli couldn't help curling his lips and said, "The business of the 201st Division is too obvious. They even specially arranged for people to come to the train station to yell at them. It's really fucking amazing."

"Don't talk about it, this income is considered as extra money for the 201st Division. Anyway, the officers all share in it. This is the rule, and they are not using the 201st Division's name!"

"Humph, what kind of sign do we need? The 201st Division captured the beautiful job of Suwei in Mexico City. Now this is their territory. These women who were kidnapped from the south of Mexico, without the acquiescence of the 201st Division, who would dare to trade openly? I

See, they are all after money."

"Lao Liu, I don't like hearing what you are saying. If the 201st Division is successful, it will definitely not forget about our brother troops. We will share in the benefits. Why are you pretending to be a good person here? When you come here to pay tribute and collect money

, I see you’re not lagging behind either. Didn’t you also get four beautiful Mexican women and prepare to take them back? Why are you jealous of other people’s troops trying to make money?”

"Ouch, Lao Fan, that's not what I meant."

"Then what else do you mean? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. The superiors above are turning a blind eye. If they want you to come out and be a messenger of justice, then first kill your four Mexican concubines.

Go back and I will trust you this time."

Lieutenant Fan Pengju silenced his colleague Lieutenant Liu Shunli into speechlessness, and smiled awkwardly. Just as he opened his mouth to explain something, he suddenly bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't do it to others."

Brother Wang Pengju, please spare me this experience, please?"

"We and the 201st Division are like grasshoppers on a rope. Belittling them doesn't show how noble we are,"

"Thank you for your teaching, my foolish brother. I realized my mistake." Lieutenant Liu Shunli smiled wryly and bowed his hands, cursing in his heart that he was really a pig.

From the code name, you can tell that the 201st Division is the 1st Division of the Southern Military Region, also known as the famous ace unit "Snow Mountain Division". This is a powerful force that won great fame in the Crimean War in Europe, and is also the highlight of the Southern Military Region.

Home Troops.

Being able to get the prestigious task of stationing in Mexico City certainly has a strong foundation.

Fortunately, the commander of the Snow Mountain Division, Brigadier General Fan Pengfei, was the cousin of the Lieutenant Fan Pengju in front of him. During his stay in Mexico, the regimental commander even took Lieutenant Fan Pengju to visit him.

After all, he is a war hero and a baron of the kingdom. Oh... no, after this war, he might be able to get another title of viscount, which would give him a big thick leg.

I accidentally said, "All the 201st Division is obsessed with money." Is it surprising that Lieutenant Fan Pengju was happy after hearing this?

Captain Hu Hanbiao did not come out to smooth things over just now. He knew more information than Lieutenant Liu Shunli. During the battle against the US infiltrating cavalry at Fortress Omaha, the regiment reported a second-class merit to Lieutenant Fan Pengju.

In this battle, he killed 5 American soldiers and wounded three others, showing great bravery.

As for how this statistic comes from, it has to be particular. Those with backers will definitely be taken care of.

At first, they were faced with a hail of bullets, and a large piece of the US cavalry fell down.

The Royal San Francisco Cuirassiers were protected by steel armor and had stronger firepower, so they only suffered casualties of only a dozen cavalry, while more than half of the American troops on the opposite side were killed or wounded.

After the two armies met, it would be even more confusing if they drew their sabers and killed them. Who can determine how many US cavalry were killed or injured?

Military merit must be measured at the highest level. It is normal for some to have more merit and others to have less. But Captain Hu Hanbiao also knew that after being approved for second-class merit, Fan Pengju would be promoted to captain immediately. Later promotion to major would also be a great qualification for military merit.

Nowadays, the situation in North America is tense. You can be promoted to captain at this time. After a sudden expansion in half a year or a year, when you get to the field army, you can be promoted to major. It is a matter of hands, and you are promoted like a rocket.

If you can't catch this train, just like Lieutenant Liu Shunli, you will have to wait for two years at the rank of lieutenant. By then, the day lily will be too cold, and you still want to eat it?

Opportunities in life are like this, seize them and fly into the sky.

I can't hold it and it's completely cool.

Just like how people behave in daily life, some officers of the Royal Guards let themselves go after they came to Mexico City. A bachelor like Lieutenant Liu Shunli got four beautiful Mexican women at once. Can the superiors have no opinion after seeing this?

?

Lieutenant Fan Pengju was much more cautious. He got a Mexican woman through the channels of his brother army and paid her in a polite manner.

His situation is very common among the Royal Guards accompanying His Majesty. He follows the trend and never stands out or stays in the mud. This is good.

"Everyone, stop standing around. If you have a lot of luggage, you should check it in. Later you will arrange for your family members to get on the train, and check the goods according to the list. Everyone, please move more quickly. Don't delay the special train's departure on time." Hu Hanbiao

The captain suddenly spoke up, easing the deadlock, and the young officers immediately took action and went their own way.

As the accompanying Royal Guards officers and soldiers, it is also their task to escort the special train. This is not contradictory.
