Wild North America 1846
Chapter 31
new town
In a two-story Victorian building
Several well-dressed old white men were standing under the corridor on the second floor, chatting loudly and arrogantly. One of them was a fat old man with a thick Cuban Havana cigar in his mouth. This man was the real person of the new town.
The controller... John Sartre, a veteran colonist born in the Swiss mountains.
John Sutter is obviously the focus of everyone. With him as the center, the large rancher Ralston, the white lawyer Adam Tatum, the local businessman Keynes and Little Higgins II gathered in a circle, and the topic was exactly what happened last night
The Datang Society, which caused a storm in the city, and the legendary core figure Richard.
"I heard that yesterday Richard killed eight more people in Old Barr's tavern. This incident has spread among the gold prospectors along the rivers of America. Richard is known as one of the most legendary gunmen in the West.
One, I don’t think anyone can shoot faster and more deadly than him.”
"You're wrong, Keynes, I don't think so." Lawyer Adam Tatum habitually retorted. He often contradicts others. Perhaps this is a professional characteristic of lawyers.
And Adam Tatum is also willing to continue to use his unique viewpoints to let people not ignore his lawyer career.
actually
Adam Tatum is just a liar who has read a few law books and has never been trained by any formal law firm. He went to court twice, and was tried for deception and abduction, and was sentenced to a total of six and a half years in prison.
.
Fortunately, the West is mostly populated by illiterate, rough cowboys and sailors. No one cares about these, no one cares about his past experience, and there are no formal laws here, so he gets along quite well.
Relying on his good looks with blond hair and blue eyes, Adam Tatum has seduced the wives of several wealthy businessmen as mistresses, including Keynes's wife Mitchell.
Seeing that his rebuttal aroused the interest of others, Adam Tatum gave a pretentious shrug and made a helpless expression like "I know he is good, but there is someone better," and said;
"I admit that Richard, with an Eastern background, is indeed one of the best gunners in the West in recent years, but don't forget, this is the West, and there has never been a shortage of outstanding gunners wandering the wilderness.
Kansas' "Blood Bill" was a ruthless man who had robbed postal carriages 13 times. He lost all his money in a tavern gambling, pulled out a gun on the spot, and killed five people who had cheated money.
Gunner.
The "Wolf Brothers" Mancote gang in Las Vegas, New Mexico. It is said that the four brothers are excellent gunmen and can draw guns as fast as lightning. No less than a dozen bounty hunters have died under their hands.
There is also the "Sunflower Killer" Sis Deng who is accustomed to using pepper bottle revolvers. He can be said to be one of the best bounty hunters in the West. No matter how powerful the gangster is, he cannot escape from his hands.
Oh, right……
It is said that this person is in Sacramento now. All we need to do is issue a high reward to Richard, and this is not difficult to do.
So, when he ignores our olive branch, he will face severe punishment. This is the rule of the West."
After saying these words
Adam Tatum showed a rather reserved smile, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was clearly humbly trying to please John Sutter.
Because the Western rules that the lawyer mentioned are John Sutter's rules.
Six and a half years of prison life has made Adam Tatum deeply understand that the way for a small person to survive is to hug the boss's leg tightly and not let go. Several other white people present also understand this very well.
To put it bluntly, these people are all John Sutter's lackeys.
Including Sheriff John who was standing at the stairs of the corridor. Although he was six or seven meters away, Adam Tatum's voice could be clearly heard in his ears without missing a word.
Sheriff John and lawyer Adam Tatum work together to control the judicial power of the new town. Those who want to seek justice through lawsuits are often drained of money, even their families are destroyed, and in the end they get nothing.
.
None of the other two major forces in New Town, Alexander Madison and Juan Carlos, are here, not to mention Captain William Richardson of Yerba Buena, who has long been excluded.
Although they are both white, the hatred and estrangement between them are very deep. Let alone cooperation, they are lucky not to fight.
Generally speaking
The three countries in Western Europe, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern Europe, are all traditional Anglo-Saxon and Germanic peoples, believe in Protestantism, and have frequent marriages between royal families and nobles.
Since the Age of Discovery, Western European countries have launched global colonial movements, and their economies are generally rich and powerful. England has led the first wave of the Industrial Revolution and has become the global hegemon.
These Western European countries consider themselves superior and look down upon Southern and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, believing that they are all barbaric races.
Spain and Portugal have great racial differences with Western European countries. They have darker skin, mostly black hair and black eyes. They are devout Catholics. Their language, national habits and religious beliefs are incompatible with each other, so they are often excluded and suppressed.
Because of the sharp decline in national power, overseas colonies were also severely eroded.
Under the influence of this chain of contempt
White immigrants from Western European countries in the United States generally look down on native white Mexicans, such as Juan Carlos.
Although this guy is blond and has a golden mustache, a native white man is a native white man. The Spaniards themselves do not admit it, let alone these snobbish American cowboys.
If you really want to say that the bloodline is noble and pure, you have to belong to the Scottish captain William Richardson of Yerba Buena. He often called John Sutter contemptuously as "the nouveau riche from the backwoods", which was really merciless.
Yes, Switzerland, a small country in the mountains, is really a remote and poor country. It was so poor that the French Emperor Napoleon occupied almost all of Western Europe when he was at his most glorious, but turned a blind eye to Switzerland.
This damn place is so poor. If you occupy it and you have to pay for construction, then you really have nothing but tough Swiss mountain people!
Faced with William Richardson's public ridicule, John Sutter was so angry that his face turned red and he had the intention to kill, but there was nothing he could do.
Because this is the fact and cannot be denied.
Under the deliberate praise of everyone, John Sutter showed an arrogant smile on his face and said arrogantly;
"I hate unruly people. When Easterners come here, they should build railroads and grow crops in a disciplined manner, instead of running to the American rivers to pan for gold with the extravagant idea of getting rich overnight.
This Richard is a restless person. He built a camp in Grape Valley, sent a horse team to patrol the American River, and now he went to a new town to fight and kill. What on earth did he want to do?
What protector of Chinese gold diggers?
I don't like this arrogant title very much, and now it's time to let him know the rules of San Francisco."
Speaking of which
John Sutter took a deep puff of the Cuban cigar, and then slowly exhaled the strong and fragrant blue smoke, with a ruthless look on his fat face.
A boss is a boss, even a gray-haired boss is still a lion, and he will eat people when he is angry.
Downstairs in the city hall
Sheriff John gathered nearly 50 mounted policemen on standby, and also ambushed nearly 200 white gunmen in the streets of the surrounding old city. This was an overwhelming armed force.
As long as this Richard dares to come, he will never be able to eat and walk around.
If you don't dare to come, just by relying on the serious crime of contempt for the council, Sheriff John can call on the white hotshots to attack in groups and completely destroy the Chinese force of the Tang Association.
No matter what we do, the Tang Association will never get anything done.
Everyone knew that Hetang was very profitable in the leather and meat business and gambling stalls. The reason why it was not touched was simply because the sheep was not fat enough, not because it was incapable of taking the knife.
When Datanghui suddenly appeared like this, it was like cutting off the tiger's head halfway and snatching the food from the tiger's mouth, and watching a large piece of fat fly away from the mouth.
Let me ask, can the boss John Sutter not be angry?
Who dares to compete with John Sutter in this three-thirds of an acre of land in San Francisco? Isn’t it boring?
Some people say: How did John Sutter know that the Accord Hall was a big fat sheep?
People who ask this underestimate the power of deep-rooted local snakes. Every plant, tree, and move in San Francisco cannot escape the eye of John Sutter. How profitable are these side businesses in the Agreement Hall?
I'm afraid John Sartre doesn't know much less than Mr. Lin, the great closet thief?
After more than a year of accumulating a huge amount of wealth, at least more than 100,000 ounces, so much money has not been spent, transported, or deposited in the bank. Has it grown wings to fly?
If you think about it with your heel, you will know that it must have fallen into the hands of Datang Hui.
