Wild North America 1846

The "Hebend Assassination" that occurred in May 1859 and its follow-up, the Tang Kingdom brazenly sent troops to Tijuana, fully occupying the state in just four and a half days, demonstrating the Tang Kingdom's sharp military methods and powerful military power.

It's impressive.

The focus of European public opinion is not that the Tang Kingdom took advantage of the chaos to seize the state of Tijuana. The concept of safeguarding the inviolability of sacred royal rights is deeply rooted in Europe, and this is not the focus of the issue.

The focus is whether the Tang Kingdom will join the current brutal and unprecedentedly bloody American Civil War?

The focus is whether the United States will declare war on the Tang Kingdom?

The focus is on where will the volatile situation in North America go from here?

The focus is on the leisurely and contented King Richard of the Tang Dynasty during his inspection trip to the north. What trouble will happen?

The public opinion of many European countries was attracted by the chaotic war situation in North America, and they even wrote numerous column reports, and various speculations were rampant.

In particular, the headline on the front page of the British newspaper "The Times" attracted the most attention: "Orientals are about to rule North America."

The article recounts the battles of the King of the Tang Dynasty, known as "Devil King Charlie", since the founding of the country. He was victorious in every battle and had few opponents. He was an extremely ambitious and aggressive king who would never give up the current rare opportunity of expansion.

good chance.

The article refers to the war narrative that the Americans took the initiative to send up: "Attorney General Richardson, who drank too much cheap ale in the tavern, created a big problem for President James Buchanan. This may be the North American war.

A turning point in a chaotic situation."

And asserted; "North America will usher in a new chapter dominated by Easterners."

European newspapers have reprinted the authoritative report of the British "Times". Because of the interests of the loan shark class, the French publicly shouted in the newspapers and threatened: "France will never allow irresponsible behavior that aggravates the chaotic situation in North America and may

Take practical military action to safeguard French interests."

While threatening the Tang Kingdom, French newspapers publicly shouted to the U.S. federal government: "Now that there is already a troublesome enemy, it should be the wisest thing to restrain government cabinet members from provoking another more powerful enemy...

"

May 18, 1859

This is generally regarded as a good day by the Chinese. Instead of waiting for the breaking news that the Tang Kingdom declared war on the U.S. federal government (North) or that the U.S. federal government (North) took the initiative to declare war on the Datang Kingdom, European melon eaters waited for

The US federal government made a shocking declaration;

President James Buchanan of the United States officially announced the Emancipation Proclamation to the public at about 10:00 a.m. on May 18, 1859, at the opening ceremony of the Presidential Library in Washington.

It seems that the U.S. federal government is trying to cover up the public expectation of war between China and the United States with a more explosive piece of news, occupying the main page of public opinion in North America and Europe, and making people forget these ridiculous things about the war and the humiliation of the Yankees.

In fact, they succeeded.

The focus of public opinion was quickly attracted by the Emancipation Proclamation, which was divided into two parts;

Since January 1, 1860, the U.S. federal government has formally voted through Congress to form a legal document, ordering the emancipation of black slaves.

Black people did not receive political rights, nor did they receive land. However, the "Declaration" showed that the Buchanan government's position had changed from restricting slavery to completely abolishing slavery, which was a historic step.

Declaration, which contained President James Buchanan's official statement:

All slaves in states that seceded from the Union and returned to federal control were to be emancipated no later than January 1, 1860...

In this Emancipation Proclamation, Maryland, Delaware (none of which had yet to secede from the Union), Tennessee (already under federal control), Missouri, and Kentucky (which had several existing states) were intentionally omitted.

A factional government accepted by the Union, but has not yet formally seceded from the Union, hesitating) to prevent these states from falling to the South in anger, which would really be a waste of money.

After the Civil War broke out

A considerable number of black slaves volunteered to assist the Union in fighting for freedom, but the Union generals still had conflicts over how to deal with the black slaves in the occupied areas.

According to the "Fugitive Slave Act of 1850" promulgated by the federal government, housing and using these black slaves violated the law and the property rights of southern slave owners. It was an out-and-out serious crime.

These escaped black slaves must return to their white slave owners' manor in the south to accept punishment. This is the right of white slave owners stipulated by law and is sacrosanct.

Black slaves not only existed in the southern states of the United States, but also existed widely in major cities in the north, including New York and Philadelphia. In order to maintain a superior and luxurious life, it became a matter of course for upper-class families to drive black slaves to work and serve.

Therefore, some northern generals chose to accept fugitive black slaves and assist the army in doing some logistical work. Some northern generals chose to imprison fugitive black slaves for the following reasons:

No noble gentleman would use stolen property.

After President James Buchanan promulgated the Emancipation Proclamation, some northern generals were dissatisfied with his policies and even committed more than 10 mutinies and surrenders to the enemy.

This left General Ambrose Everett Burnside, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, who was preparing to launch a new general attack to the south, in a panic. He had to postpone the general attack to free up his hands to appease

army, and suppressed dissatisfied white officers.

All in all, it’s a piece of cake.

June 3, 1859

Vancouver

During the British rule, Vancouver was just a small town of more than 2,300 people. It was mainly engaged in fur trade, whaling and timber logging and processing, and its development was very slow.

Vancouver is located in the southwest of the British Canadian colony on the Pacific coast. When the British and Tang Dynasties separated in 1847, King Richard of the Tang Dynasty bribed the British upper class, so London allocated this world-class excellent ice-free seaport to

The Tang Kingdom.

Vancouver has also ushered in a new period of development. Its straight-line distance from Seattle, the capital of the Northern Province, is only 198 kilometers. If you use road transportation, you need to bypass some lakes and mountains, and the mileage is about 242 kilometers.

The most convenient transportation between the two places is by ship. Basically, you get on the ship from Seattle at five or six in the afternoon, sleep in the cabin, and arrive in Vancouver at 9 a.m. the next day. It is very convenient to travel.

After more than 10 years of development

Vancouver is still a third-tier city with a population of less than 60,000. Seattle, the largest city in the north, is like a bottomless whirlpool, absorbing countless people and resources, causing the development of surrounding cities to stagnate.

Early 1858

Loggers discovered large gold deposits in Vancouver's Fraser Valley. The Tang Kingdom had rich experience in gold mining, and followers gathered for a time, and Vancouver quickly prospered.

Only 4 to 5 months of effort

Vancouver has rapidly expanded from a third-tier city with a population of less than 60,000 to nearly 200,000. Gold prospectors from major coastal cities such as Los Angeles, Chang'an, Salem, Portland, and Seattle have poured in crazily. The momentum has not diminished but has intensified.

More than 90% of these gold diggers are of Chinese descent, occupying an overwhelming advantage, and less than 10% are white gold diggers.

Everyone has a dream of getting rich overnight.

"When I see Vancouver now, I think of Chang'an City 10 years ago. At that time, it was still called "Saint Francis". It was a gold rush city full of adventures and dreams, with a strong smell of hormones surging everywhere. Haha...

And the nostalgic poppy sourdough bread.”

Vancouver suburbs

Sitting on the tall Suffolk thoroughbred horse, Richard looked at the snow-capped permafrost mountains in the distance and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Vancouver now gave him that kind and familiar feeling.

Today's Vancouver Bay is no longer called "Brene Bay", but is affectionately called the "Gold Coast" by the Chinese. It contains the dream of getting rich that people flock to, which is vulgar but simple and clear.

The Gold Coast has developed rapidly with its world-class excellent port conditions with many twists and turns and deep ports. Many small and medium-sized shipyards can already be seen along the coast.

These small and medium-sized shipyards do not produce and do not have the ability to build large-scale seagoing ships. They mostly build tugboats, small and medium-sized passenger ships and cargo ships operating in the bay, various fishing boats and barges. The business seems to be quite good.

Tugboats are generally used to haul rafts in the sea. These huge logs harvested from nearby forests cannot easily be surrounded by three or four people. Most of them are slid directly into the river from the slide on the mountain, and then tied into rafts with ropes.

, and then towed by tugboats all the way south along the seaside to supply the needs of major cities along the coast.

Some large wooden rafts stretch for several kilometers and require several tugboats to tow them forward and backward. They travel slowly. A voyage south to Chang'an takes more than a month, so the need for tugboats is considerable.

Lieutenant General Liu Wu (Liu Wu) who accompanied His Majesty the King also felt deeply that his life has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten years. It is really unimaginable!

Lieutenant General Liu Wu thought of the emotional place, his tiger eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he replied with a slight sigh: "Your Majesty, I still remember following you around to kill white people, and I had no concept of the future in my heart. I just thought about living one day at a time.

"I never imagined that I would be in such a high position today, with fine clothes and fine food, no worries about food and clothing, and a noble title that is hereditary and irreplaceable in my family. This journey has been like a dream. It is really the majesty of His Majesty's holy grace!"

"You... don't act like a cowardly little woman. This is the glory and wealth you deserve for your hard work." Richard interrupted Lieutenant General Liu Wu's sentimental mood with a smile and pointed at him with the whip in his hand.

;

"You need to remember that you don't need to spend much time and effort, you just need to serve the king wholeheartedly.

Depending on your level, you can only do this one step. From now on, you can cultivate the next generation calmly and make them better, and each generation will become stronger than the previous generation.

If there are talents that can be used, I will not hesitate to use them.

Speaking of which, you are also the old man who has been with me the longest. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for you and me to be kings and ministers in this life and share the glory?"

"Your Majesty's kindness is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, and Liu Wu will never be able to repay it in his lifetime." Hearing these words, Lieutenant General Liu Wu's heart surged with gratitude, and crystal tears shone in his eyes, and he swallowed harder.

stand up.

Richard smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it, you gentlemen, don't act like a woman and be sentimental. Go... hunting!"

After saying that, he slammed his feet on the horse's belly and yelled "Fight..." and then galloped out at the lead.

General Liu Wuzhong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately whipped his whip hard and chased after him on horseback, shouting: "Your Majesty, please slow down..."

The accompanying Royal Guards cavalry followed closely, and the cavalry's hooves rumbled as loudly as thunder as they galloped across the vast northern wilderness.
