Wild North America 1846

"Your Majesty, the Royal San Fernandez Cavalry has been fully equipped and is ready to go out to participate in military operations at any time. I respectfully request the Holy Judge." Major Michael Rabiot, a knight of the royal guard, bowed with his hands clasped in a respectful manner and asked for instructions.

The newly born Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty canceled a set of cumbersome etiquette in Eastern China, and modeled the daily fist-holding ceremony, chest-stroking ceremony, hat-off ceremony, bowing ceremony and curtsey on the basis of Western etiquette. It eliminated the kneeling ceremony and was more in line with Western etiquette.

Among them, the retained fist-holding ceremony and curtsey are uniquely oriental.

Richard nodded when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "I order the whole army to have a good rest. There will be wine and meat for dinner tonight, but don't drink too much. At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, the entire cavalry regiment will follow me to attack in full gear, so as not to delay the military aircraft."

cut."

"I obey my command." Major Mike Rabiot followed the order and left.

In the lobby

Standing opposite Richard were the Kingdom's Minister of Trade Odom Russell, Foreign Minister Juan Carlos, Police Chief He Daozhai and Finance Minister Fan Chengshan, all of whom came to report on various matters.

Richard waved them all to sit down, listened to the report with a friendly face, and then gave instructions one by one.

Nowadays, when the kingdom is founded, everything is improvised. The ministers report only on the urgent matters at the moment. They don't even have any specific memorials. They just talk by words.

There is nothing we can do now. Given this condition, many people do not know how to read.

They just reported it verbally, and relying on their memories and experiences from past and present lives, Richard gave on-the-spot instructions on how to handle it.

When things are done, just say yes when you turn around.

Otherwise, what should I do?

As for the written report, don't think about it for now. Even the few people present can't handle such high-end stuff, so don't force them.

Richard has requested the London government to send experienced affairs officers and technical experts for support, including experts in the fields of exploration, industry and finance, to help the Tang Kingdom gradually get on the right track.

The previously ordered machinery and equipment are arriving in Hong Kong one after another, along with the manufacturer's staff and technicians, who are responsible for the installation, debugging and trial production of the machinery and equipment, as well as subsequent employee training arrangements. This is the top priority of the current construction.

Thousands of Chinese workers devoted themselves to this work, and factories located deep in the Grape Valley were built one after another. There was a scene of prosperity and construction everywhere.

Today's brick kilns, water-powered mills, oil mills, weaving factories, clothing factories, and Colt weapons factories have been established and put into production. Cement factories, cotton textile mills, steel mills, and foundries are under construction, and the labor force has already emerged.

Big gap.

In view of this

The already planned military operation cannot be delayed any longer, which is to completely wipe out the indigenous Indian tribes deep in the Pu Valley and completely eliminate the last hidden danger of not surrendering to the Tang Kingdom.

The indigenous Indian tribes live a traditional nomadic life, have their own totem beliefs and tribal languages, are incompatible with modern society, and maintain a strong hostile attitude towards foreign populations.

The establishment of the Tang Kingdom was not recognized by the chiefs of the indigenous Indian tribes from the beginning to the end. Richard did not have the time to do patient integration work, so he directly took iron-fisted suppression measures to solve the problem.

Day 2

Deep in the Grape Valley, on the fields outside Wudaoling Village, the fully armed San Fernandez Cavalry Regiment, totaling more than 600 cavalrymen, lined up in the wilderness, with their horses neighing and their military appearance in full bloom, creating a murderous scene.

It is worth noting that;

Among the more than 600 cavalry, about 300 heavy cuirass cavalry are particularly eye-catching. They are equipped with legal 1812-style breastplates. The royal emblem of the Tang Dynasty is engraved in the center of the breastplate, and there is also a large Chinese "Tang Dynasty".

"The word is in ancient seal script.

This breastplate measures 53x47x53 cm, weighs about 20 pounds, and is equipped with 300 Suffolk heavy horses from the British Oregon region. It is armed to the teeth.

The tall horse with heavy armor is particularly eye-catching.

At first glance, these breastplates appear to be legal 1812-style breastplates. In fact, they are custom-made breastplates redeemed in prestige stores. They have several times more defense than legal breastplates. They are difficult to penetrate for ordinary bullets and have excellent protection.

The other 300 cavalry are equipped with light cavalry. They are responsible for search and reconnaissance, flanking operations, harassment and pursuit of enemy troops, etc., forming perfect coordination with the heavy cavalry.

out of selfish motives

This Royal San Fernandez Cuirassier Regiment, which was strictly trained by Mike Rabiot himself, has gathered the most elite cavalry at present and has the strongest combat effectiveness. It is even more powerful after being equipped with breastplates.

The only shortcoming is that this cuirassier regiment is not fully staffed. There are still more than 500 new recruits training in the barracks. They are not yet capable of going into battle and need time to polish.

Even so, Mike Rabiot is already very pleased.

Richard, wearing a gilt breastplate, a gilt helmet, and a dark blue cape, rode into the front of the formation, followed by a line of cavalry regiment officers, who inspected the cavalry regiment ranks at a constant speed.

"What is the motto of our Knights of the Tang Kingdom?"

"Be loyal and fearless, obey orders and prohibitions, charge into battle, I am invincible."

"Soldiers of the Knights, there are enemies that need to be conquered one after another in front of you. Follow my footsteps closely, obey my orders, draw your long swords to conquer these indigenous barbarians, and use their blood and heads to forge them.

The prestigious reputation of the Knights."

"Be loyal to Your Majesty, the Tang Kingdom will be victorious, and the Knights will be victorious."

"Line up and attack!"

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" the soldiers of the cavalry regiment shouted with enthusiasm, and their voices resounded throughout the valley and echoed for a long time.

With a wave of Richard's hand, a squadron of light cavalry immediately jumped out and headed deeper into the valley.

After walking for about 10 kilometers, after passing through a lush North American oak forest, our eyes suddenly opened up. It turned out to be a huge valley basin, and we could see mountains in the distance.

There are crisscrossing streams in the valley basin, showing high and low hilly areas, with lush forests and bushes, frightened deer herds running fast, and occasionally wild wolves, foxes and other animals.

There are large tracts of wild fruit trees growing in the valley, with numerous fruits hanging from their branches. There are also wild grape groves as thick as arms, which produce dense clusters of green grapes. The clusters are as heavy as inverted pagodas.

By August and September, there will surely be another bumper harvest.

rough estimate

This valley is probably more than 20 kilometers long, more than ten kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​about 330 square kilometers. It is really an unexpected surprise.

Here, the cavalry also discovered a large amount of dung from the bison herd, which looked like it was about ten days ago, which surprised everyone.

In the past

Once the villagers of Wudaoling Village go deep into the village, they will be attacked by the indigenous Indians. They are often brutally killed and their bodies abandoned in the wilderness. This also makes people fearful and regard it as a dangerous road.

It turns out that the native Indians wanted to keep this secret and did not want outsiders to share this fertile and chosen land with them.

not long after

Several wild wolves appeared in the bushes ahead, howling loudly at the large group of cavalry. Richard's eyes suddenly lit up and he decisively ordered: "Follow everyone, prepare to fight."

After saying that, he rode ahead and followed the footsteps of the wild wolf into the depths of the basin.

ten minutes later

After bypassing a large grape grove, a large open area appeared in front of us. An indigenous Indian tribe with thousands of people living near the water. Between the tribe's thatched houses and tents, there were many Indian children running and playing, and women were by the river.

Wash food.

The sudden appearance of the heavily armed cavalry regiment immediately caused the entire indigenous tribe to panic. The women screamed and ran towards the village, while the Indian tribe warriors quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards them with bows, arrows and guns.

This is a larger Indian tribe, with about three to four hundred strong Indian warriors, ranging in age from 14 to more than 40 years old. Facing the enemy, they took up arms to resist without fear.

Seeing this, Richard smiled coldly, waved his hand and ordered, "Kill me."

Give an order

The cavalry galloped away. The light cavalry at both ends quickly spread out to the wings, while the heavy cuirassiers in the middle rushed directly to meet them. They rode their horses across the clear stream half a man deep and slammed into it as fiercely as a herd of buffaloes galloping.

The Indian tribe warriors took the lead in gathering more than a hundred people, holding bows, arrows, spears and guns in their hands, and came forward with fearless shouts. For the sake of the tribe, their wives and children, they had no way out.

But the collision between the two sides was destined to be a one-sided massacre. The cavalry of both sides came within a hundred meters of each other, and the shining saber in the commander's hand struck hard. This was a signal.

What followed was a series of crisp gunshots and dense bullets, shooting at the brave Indian tribe warriors like a torrential rain, shooting them off their horses one by one like turkeys.

In a blink of an eye

The clear stream has been dyed red with blood. Hundreds of Indian tribe warriors have been killed or injured in this round of attacks. Sixty or seventy people were killed and injured, and the originally dense formation has become sparse.

This sudden change caused the remaining Indian tribe warriors to panic. They saw the heavy cuirass cavalry charging towards them like bulls, roaring towards them with strong murderous intent. They were unstoppable.

Many Indian warriors were so frightened that they reined in their horses and tried to turn around and run away. Some people fell off their horses in panic, and their originally high fighting will was instantly vented.

The commander of the cavalry regiment gave another order, and all the cavalrymen drew their gleaming sabers and roared away. They were invincible wherever they passed. The Indians who were cut down were immediately trampled by the horses. The scene was extremely miserable.

Richard and the accompanying Guards officers and soldiers stopped in the distance, watching the battlefield with indifferent expressions. They saw the cavalry slashing down the tents in the Indian camp with their swords, knocking over children with their horses, and cutting down the Indian warriors who tried to resist to the ground.

The ignited thatch houses and the horrified screams of the Indian women merged into one, without any mercy on their faces.

More than half an hour later

The air was filled with the smell of burning straw and gunpowder smoke. The last sporadic fighting had ended. The remaining approximately 750 or 600 people in the tribe were gathered together. The men and women were separated and forced to squat on the ground. Then one by one

Being tied up.

Fifty or sixty elderly Indians, including tribal chiefs and priests, were arranged to collect the bodies and dig holes deep in the forest to bury them. In the end, these people did not come back, but disappeared deep into the forest.

Conquest is a bloody process of suppression that destroys the beliefs of the indigenous Indians, separates tribal heritage, and destroys the fighting spirit of the indigenous Indians, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of conquest and enslavement.

After the Indian tribe was eliminated, a squadron of light cavalry escorted it back. The remaining cavalry regiment soldiers continued to go deep into the jungle, looking for one Indian tribe after another...

The conquest continues, a cruel moment of blood and fire.
