Wild North America 1846

after the battle

With only more than 360 people left, the Fangcaodi White Cavalry entered Grape Valley according to the order and mixed with the Datang Hui Cavalry. This quickly expanded the strength of the Datang Hui Cavalry to more than 770 people, plus the 1,123-man Musketeers.

, the overall strength has reached nearly 1,900 people.

In addition, there were more than 230 white captives in the Tang Hui's hands, all of whom were organized into hard labor camps in the Grape Valley and were responsible for heavy daily work such as building brick kilns, water-powered mills, oil mills, water-powered sawmills, factories, and roads.

According to Richard’s words;

These people have to work hard to wash away their sins. Only when the thorns are smoothed out can they cherish their hard-won stable life.

The Federation took over the security and social order of San Francisco, and also took over the shops, land, estates and wealth belonging to John Sartre's power, and its power was greatly expanded.

at the same time

Richard sent two teams, led by captains Mike Rabiot and Dai Changfu respectively. Two days and four days after the battle in New Town, they occupied the two important towns of Sacramento and Los Angeles and expelled the local Mexicans.

The governor and the Mexican military armed forces firmly controlled the entire province of Alta California.

a few days later

Peace returned to the new town. The grocery stores, grain and oil stores, taverns and other businesses operated by the newly established North American Acorn Trading Company under the Datang Society were given new doors, removing the old imprint of John Sutter.

Reopen for business.

After a period of operation, Datang Hui now has one bank and five companies, and its industries have begun to take shape.

The bank is Sequoia Bank, which issues valuable U.S. dollar bills printed by Datang Hui, including four types of one dollar, two dollars, five dollars and ten dollars. They circulate with other dollar bills at the same value, buy gold sands to exchange banknotes, and provide account opening savings.

and exchange business.

The five companies are the American River Gold Rush Company and the North American Acorn Trading Company. These two companies are the cash cows of the Datang Society, providing a steady stream of large sums of funds for development.

In addition, there are three newly established companies, one is the Western Industrial Company, the other is the Western Agricultural Company, and the third is the Eastern Pacific Shipping Company. These are all newly established companies and are ready to do a great job.

On the streets of new town

Mounted policemen with police badges hanging on their chests patrol in pairs to maintain law and order on the streets. Every once in a while, you can see a team of 12 musketeers, carrying flintlocks on their backs, marching through the streets.

Those wandering cowboys and gold diggers were more honest, which increased the sense of security for local residents.

Richard walked easily on the street, with 6 personal guards beside him. Everyone he met on the street would stop, take off their top hats and bend down to greet him, while Richard responded politely.

smile.

Arrive at the door of the Old Barr Tavern

The two guards were the first to push open the door and enter the tavern, followed by Richard.

His arrival immediately silenced the noisy tavern. Everyone stood up and took off their hats respectfully.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Please continue. I'm just here to have a drink with Old Barr."

Richard glanced over the crowd, and he could keenly feel that although the guests in the tavern had different thoughts, not all of them welcomed him to the tavern. But this was human nature, and they had no malicious intentions.

After all, he is not a dollar bill, so he cannot be liked by everyone.

"Hey, Old Barr, here's a glass of whiskey with ice, and a glass of wheat beer for each of my guys. You don't seem happy about my arrival. I remember that I don't owe you any money?" Richard sat down.

Standing next to the heavy bar, he joked in a relaxed tone.

Old Barr shrugged helplessly, took out a clean glass and placed it on the bar, then opened a bottle of good Scotch whiskey, poured half a glass, added ice cubes and pushed it over.

Said: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Old Barr, we have always been friends, haven't we? I can sense that you have some concerns and don't want to see the changes in the new town?"

"Lee, you are a big shot now. Everyone is saying that you are the real "King of the Bay Area." No one could do such a thing before, not even John Sutter. Please forgive my bluntness, but between the two

A few months ago, you were just a fierce and aggressive lone gunman. All these changes have been too big and I need time to adapt."

"Well, this would be a good start, trust me."

"hope so……"

"I feel right. You do have some concerns. Can you tell me...Old Barr, if you still regard me as a friend?"

After hearing what Richard said, Old Barr put down what he was doing, put his hands on the bar counter, sighed, and said;

"Man, it has been more than 10 years since I settled in San Francisco, and I am used to the peaceful and stable life of the past.

But what happened in the past two years?

Ever since gold was discovered along the rivers of America, everything has changed.

A steady stream of outsiders came here to join in the gold rush feast, robbery, shooting, gambling and endless killings, changing this beautiful town beyond recognition.

And your Tang Association has exacerbated all this chaos. You have eliminated the Agreement Hall, killed Alexander Madison and his gang, and now you have killed John Sutter...

Oh, by the way, I also disarmed my partner Fangcaodi.

God!

Nowadays, everyone is praising the reputation of Richard, the "King of the Bay Area". The whole province of Alta California is like this. I heard that they are going to establish an independent country. This is really crazy.

Everything has changed so fast that it has become confusing. I wonder, are you still the righteous young man from the East?"

"Hahaha... Of course, Old Barr, you can still trust me."

"Like those guys at Yerba Buena?"

"You're talking about William Richardson, right? If I didn't take action first, the Tang Dynasty would have become history. I took the first step before the British guy wanted to stab him in the back. It's that simple."

Speaking of which

Richard picked up the wine glass and took a long sip, feeling the strong wine with the fragrance of oak barrels entering his throat. He was refreshed and continued;

“There is an ancient Eastern proverb: If you are quick, you will gain something; if you are slow, you will lose something.

What Fangcaodi wanted was a goon to charge into battle, not a partner who could be on an equal footing with them. This dissatisfaction had already been revealed when Datang Hui took the lead in occupying most of the rights to the American River Gold Mine.

Man, this world has always been about strength.

I now control the province of Alta California and San Fernandez. I am the "King of the Bay Area" and no one dares to challenge my majesty and power here. Do you have any objections to this?"

"No, sir."

"That's great. Stop complaining hypocritically, old Barr. Since the discovery of the gold mine, your shabby tavern has made more money in one year than in the past 20 years. It's time to spend some money to replace decent furniture.

At least replace that three-legged broken table. Damn it, you damn Jewish miser. If you can recommend a few good people to work in my company, I will let you go."

"Please give me some time. If it doesn't work, I will trick my son who is working on Wall Street back."

"Then it's settled, I will leave a good place for him."

"Thank you, sir."

After lingering in the tavern for a while, Richard walked out with a rosy look on his face, and continued walking along the street while he was in a good mood.

Not far gone

Suddenly, Richard felt something bad in his heart. The huge danger that seemed like a real thing loomed over him, making his back feel hairy, and his spiritual powers issued frantic warnings.

"Enemy attack..."

As these two words were shouted out, a crisp gunshot sound suddenly sounded, and the hot bullets immediately knocked down a guard walking in front, and more bullets fell into the empty space.

And this place, which was originally where Richard was, ended up disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that at the moment when Richard felt that his life was in great danger, he had already activated the space flickering ability, and hid in the corner like a ghost, escaping this almost certain death.

Two of the six guards were shot down on the spot. The other four crawled and hid in the side of the house. They took out their guns and fired at the enemy. A gunfight broke out in an instant on the street.

Take advantage of this opportunity

Richard jumped up and climbed into the house through the window. He stood on the wooden pillars with agility like an ape and climbed to the second floor. Then he rushed to the room on one side in search of the sound of gunfire.

There was no ambushing gunman in this room. The gunshots came from a nearby house, where at least three gangsters were shooting and shouting loud and rude curses.

This assassination attempt that was originally a sure thing had failed, and the gangsters had become seriously unbalanced. They cursed loudly and prepared to retreat. Someone pouted and whistled extremely loudly, and then they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves on the street in the distance.

Want to run?

Richard took a chance and leaned out a little to observe the movement. The two houses were about 3 to 4 meters apart. He saw that the windows on the second floor of the house next to him were half-opened. It must have been that the gangsters had just observed the surrounding situation and did not lock them up. The shadows of people inside the house could be seen.

flash.

If that's the case, then don't leave.

After using the space flicker again, Richard had steadily entered the next room. He saw two gangsters in the room shooting out through the window. The other one was cursing in his mouth and opened the door to go out, but suddenly he was shocked.

I looked back.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

Richard unceremoniously flicked the hammer with his left hand continuously, firing all 6 bullets in the revolver in one breath. The three gangsters were seen twitching in the rain of bullets, and one of the gangsters was knocked down by the huge resistance force.

, and fell straight out of the window.

The other two gangsters twisted their bodies and fell to the ground, letting out howls of pain. Richard stepped forward with a cold expression and crushed the gangster's neck with a cruel kick, causing his howls to stop abruptly.

end.

He conveniently put away the empty revolver, seized two spare guns from the gangsters, opened the musket wheel and took a look, and saw that both guns were loaded with bullets, so he closed them with confidence.

"Biqi, what's going on? Come down here quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." The gangster's anxious shout came from downstairs.

Richard quickly poked his head out of the second-floor window and took a look. He saw a dozen horses galloping down the street, raising smoke and dust all the way, and pedestrians screaming and running away.

He quickly turned around and looked through the crack in the door again. He saw four gangsters gathered at the door downstairs, presumably waiting for the horses to respond. One of the bearded gangsters raised his face and looked towards the second floor.

When I came, I happened to meet Richard face to face.

The ruthless gangster couldn't help but be stunned. Where did a fair-faced boy come from?

Soon enough, Richard put out the muzzle of his gun and "Pah, pah, pah, pah..." he fired wildly, shooting out all 5 bullets in almost one second, and then quickly left the door with his head flinched.

Lean your body against the window on the other side.

From here you can clearly see the situation outside downstairs. If a gangster wants to mount his horse and escape from here, it depends on whether he can outrun the bullet.

At this time, there was a burst of screams and wails from downstairs, and then bullets were fired "pah pah pah..." and immediately punched several holes in the wooden door.

"Damn it, damn it, I got shot."

"There are enemies upstairs, what's going on? Are you still here, Beach?"

"Boss, Tyronn Lue is dead, and Marco was shot in the stomach. It's really terrible."

Talking room

"Bah, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang," a few more shots, and the door was blown like a hornet's nest, and the thin wood spurted out under the huge kinetic energy.

If you are still hiding behind the wooden door at this time, you will inevitably not be affected.

The sound of horse hooves roared, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived near the house. At this time, the door of the first floor suddenly opened, and three gangsters rushed out with revolvers, while firing fiercely in the direction of the guards.

While running a few steps, he was ready to jump on the horse and escape.

During the exchange of fire between the two sides, one of the gangsters running behind was hit by a bullet and staggered to the ground. The other two gangsters rushed to the street. Seeing that the horses were about to pass by, they ran a few steps.

Get ready to jump onto your horse.

at this moment

Richard stood at the window on the second floor with a stern expression, aiming at the two gangsters more than ten meters away and shooting repeatedly. The bullets dug eye-catching blood holes in the gangsters' backs one after another, knocking them over mercilessly.

land.

"God..."

Amidst the horrified screams of the gangsters, the roaring galloping horses stampeded hard with iron hooves. The roaring smoke filled the air, and a dozen strong galloping horses galloped past, trampling the two gangsters into a puddle of flesh.

mud.

Now it's better, I'll burp myself to death by doing thrilling moves.

It sounds complicated, but in fact the attack happened very quickly. It only took three or four minutes, never more than five minutes.

When a large number of musketeers and mounted police arrived, Richard walked out with a cold face, and there was endless anger in his brows.

The identity of the gangsters attacked by this group has been figured out. They are the "Wild Wolf Brothers" Mancott gang from Las Vegas who slipped through the net and were summoned by John Sutter.

The second and third eldest brothers of the gang and several gang members were killed in the battle to eliminate John Sutter. The remaining members were resentful and wanted revenge, which led to this dangerous attack.

A total of 8 people, 7 dead and one injured, the "Wild Wolf Brothers" Mancott gang was completely destroyed.
