Wild North America 1846

Chapter 54 Really Unexpected

The burning of Riverbend Village made the Datang Society famous throughout the entire province of Alta California. From the original second-rate force in the region, it became a hot emerging top force in San Francisco, comparable to John Sutter and Yerba Buena.

This short and bloody conflict made everyone start to face up to the strong strength of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, Richard's famous name spread throughout the Bay Area. The progress of the prestigious title task "King of the Bay Area" rapidly increased from the original number of more than 3,000 people.

The number rose to nearly 10,000, achieving a great breakthrough.

This shows that more people recognize Richard as the real talker in San Francisco (San Francisco).

The most anxious one among them is undoubtedly the local snake John Sutter.

new town

Not far from the church, in a Victorian manor building on Washington Street, the plump John Sutter was wearing a light-colored suit of fine texture and pacing back and forth in the European-style corridor with an anxious expression.

The bad news that came from the American River made him completely lose his previous calmness. His right-hand man, Sheriff John A. Clark, and more than fifty mounted police and militiamen were all killed in the flames, and none of them escaped.

This was a heavy blow to John Sutter's power. After receiving this shocking news, John Sutter suppressed the panic in his heart, took out thousands of ounces of gold to compensate the family of the deceased, and sent someone to urgently contact the Mexican leader Juan

-Carlos, trying to hug each other for warmth.

It should be said that John Sutter's measures were appropriate, at least he did not make frequent mistakes.

The Tang Association and Fangcaodi colluded together. After the Madison gang was destroyed, the balance was broken, and the federation's power posed a serious threat to John Sutter's power.

But a few days passed, and there was no response at all from Juan Carlos' side.

There was a sound of footsteps, and John Sutter looked up and saw lawyer Adam Tatum coming in a hurry. He couldn't hide his anxiety and went up to meet him and asked, "Adam, what did they say?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid the Mexicans have guessed my purpose of coming and have been hiding from me. I suspect that Fangcaodi or the British behind it have taken action and promised conditions that are tempting. Otherwise, how dare Juan Carlos

Reject our olive branch?"

"Oh...damn, are you sure?"

"According to our people, Juan Carlos has been staying in that big house and has not been seen leaving. However, his housekeeper declined, saying that he had been to Sacramento for a few days and did not know when he would come back. The grocery store in Yerba Buena

Shop owner Odom Russell can enter openly, doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Damn it, how dare these despicable Mexicans betray me?"

Hearing Adam Tatum's words, John Saad's face turned livid and he couldn't help but curse; "I curse them to hell, if I hadn't been lenient and acquiesced in the existence of Juan Carlos."

, he should be hiding in Sacramento with other cheap native white people to survive, how dare he do this?"

This was not easy to say, so Adam Tatum wisely shut his mouth and just shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.

The situation is now clear;

Fangcaodi and the Tang Association joined forces and firmly occupied the areas of Fangcaidu, Grape Valley, Rose Manor and American River, and were deeply involved in the new towns. The limelight has overtaken the power of John Sutter.

In particular, Richard, the leader of the Tang Association, led his troops to burn Hewan Village, killing all the chickens and dogs, and slaughtering hundreds of Madison gangsters. For a time, everyone was talking about it.

Even the most obtuse person knows that this is a ruthless master who cannot be easily offended.

Because Sheriff John led more than 50 gunmen to join the Alexander-Madison gang, the two sides were in a state of factual conflict, and it had to end with one person being beaten down.

There are people in the Tang Dynasty who have guns and fighting ability. Fangcaodi has money, power and influence, and there are British forces behind it. John Sutter, a local snake who has been operating in San Francisco for ten years, obviously can't stand it anymore.

in the final analysis

John Sartre was just an ordinary mountain man from the poor valleys of Switzerland. He came to the North American continent with nothing, and relied on his brains and luck to make a fortune here and become very popular.

The most effective minion, John A. Clark, and more than a dozen of his subordinates died on the banks of the American River. It was like a blow to the head, and he became fierce and cruel.

John Sutter cursed loudly and endlessly, scolding the Mexicans, then the white people in Yerba Buena, and most of all, the Chinese in Tang Dynasty. This caused several people in the manor to look around and quickly shrink back.

If you move forward at this time, is there water in your head?

More than 10 minutes later

Seeing that John Sutter was tired of scolding, Adam Tatum quickly smiled and interrupted at the right time: "Dear Mr. John, the Federation is really hateful. I don't think Juan Carlos can do anything at this critical moment."

Being willing to stand up and clearly support you may not be as simple as betrayal."

"You mean..." John Sutter was still angry at this time. After Adam Tatum said this, he immediately looked over with doubtful eyes.

This cannot be blamed on his suspicion. After Sheriff John A. Clark and a dozen mounted policemen died on the banks of the American River, accounting for almost 1/3 of the private police force, John Sutter had extremely strong control over the new town.

A big drop is far more than just 1/3.

The attitude of Ralston, the submissive rancher, and Juan Carlos, the leader of the Mexican ethnic group, who had always followed him, became ambiguous.

In John Sartre's view, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.

Although the lawyer Adam Tatum in front of him behaves very badly, there is nothing unusual about him, but this guy is just a loner who eats and drinks. There is no guarantee that he will defect to the other party when he sees the opponent's situation, and collude with the first two rebels.

In this wild west, anything is possible.

Seeing John Sutter looking over with suspicion, Adam Tatum quickly turned solemn and said with an I-think-for-you look;

"Dear President John, everything I have is given by you. For the sake of God, please believe me. Let me tell you my reasons below.

You also know that the newspaper said that Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna strongly criticized the ambitious expansion policy of the United States, said that he would take back Texas, which originally belonged to Mexico, at all costs, and issued a war mobilization order.

Vigorously expanding the army and weapons, it can be said that the current U.S.-Mexico war is about to break out.

We all know that Juan Carlos is the former chief of the San Francisco garrison. He is a remnant force that represents the interests of Mexico and is colluding with Mexico City overtly or covertly.

in today's situation

The deterioration of U.S.-Mexico relations will inevitably affect Alta California, and we are out-and-out Americans.

At this time, if Juan Carlos gets closer to us, he will inevitably be known as a traitor, so we have to be worried.

besides

We all know that Great Britain has undoubted huge influence in Mexico and even in Central and South American countries. Yerba Buena is the British pawn inserted into the Bay Area, and this is the most troublesome place.

The current relationship between the United States and Britain is extremely deteriorating. The newly-appointed US president has made a strong statement that the United States has natural sovereignty over the British Canadian colonies of Oregon, Seattle, Portland and other places, which may trigger a second US-British war.

in this case

If the Mexican forces represented by Juan Carlos do not side with the federation, then we should be grateful and cannot ask for more."

John Sutter was confused by these words. He didn't have a lot of characters, and he didn't usually read newspapers, but he understood a little bit.

"You mean... the United States is going to go to war with Mexico, so what the hell does it have to do with me? This is a Mexican place, can Americans come over?"

"Indeed, the U.S. military will definitely come."

"ah?"

John Sutter opened his mouth wide in surprise. There was enough room for a duck egg in his mouth.

Alta California is more than a thousand kilometers away from Texas, the hot spot of the war. In the middle lies the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Nevada Desert, the Rocky Mountains and the vast Gobi Desert in New Mexico. The distance is so far away that it seems like two worlds apart.

Did he really not expect that the American army would come?
