Wild North America 1846

Is it shameful to recruit talents and strengthen the kingdom?

Richard didn't feel embarrassed at all. He felt happy when he saw these workers from Zhangzhou. He used gentle words to win over Chen Cailiang and others, and he did not hesitate to lower his posture to appear approachable, which greatly moved them.

Asking them to go back and advocate on their behalf was very effective. Coupled with the pressure from local officials in Los Angeles, most of the Zhangzhou workers reluctantly had their hair braids cut off.

Following the arrangements of local officials, the workers went to the camp to receive hot soup, dry biscuits and other food. The storm was about to subside.

After eating, the workers began to unload the goods at the dock in an orderly manner. They took out the heavy cotton bales from the cabin and stacked them neatly on the dock, waiting for the four-wheeled carriage to arrive and transport them to the city.

There are always exceptions to everything

Most of these 2,396 workers had their braids cut off on the spot, shaving their hair to show their willingness to follow the Tang Kingdom all the way to the dark side.

However, there were hundreds and dozens of people who stubbornly refused to cut off their braids and refused to listen to any persuasion. Instead, they verbally cursed Chen Cailiang and others for their treason, rebellion against their ancestors and the country, and unworthy of being human beings.

This made Chen Cailiang and others so angry that veins popped out on their foreheads, and they wanted to rush forward and blast them with hammers.

"Why...are you guys not allowed to get in the oil and salt?" Richard walked over with a gloomy face and asked.

Chen Cailiang, a tall man with a beard, bowed and saluted with a look of shame on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, the common people are incompetent. Please forgive me."

"When we get here, we are already tens of thousands of miles away from Eastern China. You are so stubborn, do you still want to be a loyal minister and obedient citizen of the Manchu Tatars?" Richard asked again.

These one hundred and dozens of stubborn men all had anger in their eyes and looked at Richard and the others with their heads held high.

He neither knelt down, nor surrendered, nor answered.

When Liu Wu saw this, he was furious and shouted: "A group of traitors and people who are ignorant of life and death. How dare you refuse to bow before His Majesty the King? Don't you know that contempt of royal power is a capital crime? Who gave you the courage? Why don't you kneel down and apologize?"

"No need." Richard reached out and unbuttoned his cloak and threw it to Captain Liu Wu who was standing beside him. A stern look flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand forward and ordered;

"Surround me up and no one can escape."

The more than a hundred guard cavalry behind them dispersed with a "crash", drew out their gleaming waist knives, and surrounded the hundreds and dozens of Chinese workers, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere tense.

The change at this moment shocked Chen Cailiang and the people around him, and he said in a low tone: "Common people are brave, please be kind to your majesty..."

"Don't say any more. The sacred kingship cannot be despised. I always have the compassionate heart of a Bodhisattva, and I also have the means of thunder. Since you are stubborn and ineffective, you must bear the consequences."

At this time, Richard had already taken off the heavy cowhide bullet belt from his waist, handed it to Captain Liu Wu beside him, and strode forward and said, "Whoever can accept my move, I will allow you to act freely without respecting the king's law."

A strong man with a horse face standing opposite his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly, "Is this true?"

"How can gold-tongued words be considered child's play?"

Richard shouted loudly, and he was already attacking like a whirlwind. He punched him first, and the punch was faintly carrying the sound of wind and thunder, and his attack was extremely fierce.

This horse-faced man was also a martial artist. He immediately saw how powerful he was, and hurriedly used his arm to meet him. However, he didn't expect that the punch was as fast as lightning, and it was really heavy, fast and fierce.

It seems that it can be defended, but that is just an illusion.

This heavy punch had already penetrated the defense of the horse-faced man's hands, and the heavy blow was firmly imprinted on his chest.

There was only a dull sound that made people's hair stand on end. The horse-faced man spat out a mouthful of blood, and then was knocked away with a kick.

The man fell heavily onto the grass and lost consciousness while being knocked away. Not surprisingly, he fainted.

Like a tiger, Richard rushed into the herd of sheep, punching one by one, kicking one by one. The sound of "crack-crack-crack" sound of punches hitting flesh could be heard continuously. He saw these Chinese workers swaying this way and that like the bow of a ship parting the waves, and they were all knocked down in the blink of an eye.

people.

This unreasonable behavior immediately angered the remaining people. Someone yelled with red eyes: "There is no way out for either left or right, brothers just fight with him."

"Go ahead, let's fight." The rest of the crowd agreed.

"Well done, I won't hold anything back."

Richard rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind, and took a harder three-pointer. He only heard a "crackling" sound of bones breaking. The people who had been violent just now had their bones broken and their tendons broken, and they collapsed on the ground like soft mud.

Richard beat hundreds of dozens of men with his bare hands. There was no enemy in front of him. Wherever he passed, these men fell down like wheat.

It’s true; if gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if Buddha stands in the way, they will kill Buddha. There is almost no single enemy.

It takes less than a cup of tea

All these one hundred and dozens of men were knocked to the ground, and not one of them could stand up properly. They all held their hands and feet and groaned in pain, and a dozen of them had fainted on the ground.

Such bravery and invincibility made the more than 2,000 Zhangzhou workers present dumbfounded. When they reacted, their hind legs softened, and they all fell to their knees. "Your Majesty is really a god, and we ordinary people worship him."

Richard stood among a group of people lying down, with a slight sweat on his forehead. Seeing the crowd of people prostrating themselves in darkness, he didn't say much.

Instead, he strode out and ordered, "The injured ones will be nursed back to health first. After their injuries are healed, all these bastards will be sent to the hard labor camp. Whether they can survive depends on their own destiny."

Finished

Richard then got on his horse and led a group of guards to gallop away with a "hurrah", leaving only a look of awe behind him.

Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Combining kindness and power is the kingly way.

The rounding and flattening of his wrists, especially the final thunderous blow, showed Richard's bravery that was invincible to a hundred people. Everyone was dazzled and admired.

Since then

The reputation of Richard, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was invincible among thousands of people, became more and more resounding. Over time, it spread to the ears of Americans and Mexicans. They were even more afraid of this "mad king" and regarded him as the reincarnation of gods and demons, which gradually evolved.

If it becomes a legend in the western wasteland, that is a story for another day.

After Richard and his party returned to Los Angeles, Wang's order was quickly issued.

From now on;

Select 1,600 Zhangzhou laborers to join the army, establish the Royal Zhangzhou Fusiliers and the Royal Zhangzhou Cuirassiers, and station them in Los Angeles for training.

Except for the 143 people who violated the king's orders and were killed on the spot and more than ten people who were disabled and recuperating, the rest were sent to hard labor camps and were used under the jurisdiction of the Correctional Services Department.

The remaining 653 people work in small teams to participate in local industrial, agricultural and transportation construction and implement semi-military management.

This arrangement actually uses these 653 Zhangzhou workers as military reserves.

The current war situation in the United States is grim, and Richard is not naive enough to think that he can win the final victory as long as he destroys the United States' Western Route Army.

With the beautiful and strong country's strong national power and greedy and aggressive nature, forcing it to admit defeat will definitely be a hell-level difficulty dungeon that is difficult to achieve overnight.
