How to control Panama?

In fact, Li Mengyang has a complete set of methods, but there is one of the most critical points here, that is, he must give strong military pressure to his opponents!

There must be someone who can fight, and Li Mengyang chose this person for a long time, and it seemed that only Matthew was the only one.

Matthew was an old comrade-in-arms who had been following Li Mengyang from the silver mine on Mount San Juan. Basically, he knew some of the tactics and tactics that Li Mengyang had used, and don’t forget that controlling Panama is actually about perseverance. So what is the best method to persevere now?

Trench!

&nb√★wan√★Shu√★ロba,sp;Yes, it is to dig trenches, which is the tactic. In this battle, trenches are the best tactics, and this tactic is known to Li Mengyang and will be widely used in the future World War I.

World War I was also called trench war. The two sides basically confronted each other in the trenches, which was very interesting.

That means that the trench is absolutely OK now and is absolutely useful!

So, when Li Mengyang was going to conquer California and he had to leave, Matthew was his best choice, and this guy knew how to play the trench.

Of course, Matthew is going to be left behind.

But can this guy Matthew agree?

"I won't stay! This place has a nice scenery, but it's very hot, so I won't stay!" Matthew found this reason, which is obviously an excuse.

"Haha..." In fact, Li Mengyang understood Matthew's psychology at this time. This guy had been following him before, and he was very popular and enjoyed a lot of happiness along the way. So he had to take some benefits. "Brother. You are in Panama, then you are the governor here. Don't you know how many ships pass by in Panama? There are great benefits here, and you will be frustrated when you collect taxes!"

"..." Matthew's tax collection...it seems that others used to collect taxes.

Li Mengyang added another fire, "And I can assure you that in Panama in the future, the tax revenue will be higher, so high that you can sleep in a bed made of gold coins. Do you believe it?"

"Made of gold coins..." Matthew was really moved, "Aren't you lying to me?"

"When did I lied to you?" Li Mengyang asked back.

"Okay!" After some trouble, Matthew agreed.

From then on, Panama had an Irish governor!

Isn’t Li Mengyang really fooling Matthew? Can it really increase Panama’s tax revenue significantly? You know, Panama does not have that canal now!

Yes, there is no, but Li Mengyang believes that the canal will appear soon!

Because Li Mengyang has confidence in his compatriots, we Chinese are the best at building! We can build such a difficult central railway. Can't we dig a Panama Canal in advance now?!

In fact, the Panama Canal itself has many contributions from Chinese workers. Without them, they would not have succeeded, and the French would have failed!

Of course, this is all a story. Li Mengyang needs to take over California to carry out this project, so now it is still mainly about Panama.

If Matthew is left behind, some individuals have to be left behind. The first is Eriksen. Because there are no canals here in Panama, the Eriksen and even the ships of the entire fleet of the Revolutionary Army have to be left on the west coast of Panama.

There is no way to do this, but you should know that most of these ships are merchant ships, which means that we can actually do business now, but the premise of doing business is safety. Therefore, the old drunkard, Erikson, still has to cruise in the Caribbean with his old friend Erikson.

Two ironclad ships can basically ensure that the Panama Western Line will not be attacked. New Granada's current naval strength is not even comparable to the United States, and it is not enough to see it.

With a revolutionary army of nearly 20,000 people, Li Mengyang decided to leave 10,000 people to stay in Panama. Anyway, he would never give this place to anyone, and no one would give it!

On the other hand, that was Uncle Xie’s mission. Li Mengyang decided to let him return to Cuba and contact Cespedes.

Why contact him?

It’s very simple. Li Mengyang is preparing to pay a portion of the money to support the warlords in the melee of the new Granadari!

"Why is this? Meat buns beat dogs?"

When Xie Zhong learned of this plan, he was in a bad mood. Looking at Li Mengyang's eyes, it was like looking at a prodigal son.

Li Mengyang's answer was, "This matter is very simple. The enemy is our friend."

Yes, that's the reason.

Now New Granada has the most hope of quelling the civil war, or the one who has already dealt with his opponent is almost the same, called Thomas Simpliano de Mosquera. This man is quite old. He was with Bolivar to make a revolution, and he is considered an old predecessor of the revolution.

However, Li Mengyang decided not to give face to the old senior. He was ready to support this old Mosquera's mortal enemy, the guy named Mariano Ospina Rodriguez.

In fact, during the United States of Greater Colombia, both of them were presidents, and these information were only known through some information collected by Uncle Xie.

In other words, these two people actually have a mass base. You should know that the Greater Colombia was called the United States, and even learned from the United States, they also held democratic elections.

So, now that Li Mengyang has put out some money to support a guy who is about to be defeated, will the civil war in new Granada be rekindled?

Yes, that's the purpose!

If you fight a civil war, you will naturally not care about Panama we have occupied. What a simple thing.

But you have to know that this money cannot be given to Li Mengyang and the others. They are Chinese and have contributed their efforts when occupying Panama. If they pay directly, no one will be stupid. Naturally, you can see the purpose of your Chinese.

So, we have to find that Cespedes and let this old boy pay the money. He has another advantage. Everyone’s ancestors are Spanish, and they are still revolutionary comrades-in-arms now!

With these strategies, Li Mengyang made it entirely based on the local political ecology, geography, history, and economy at this time, and it seems...

God helps me!

Really, Li Mengyang was an atheist, and he had to make up for such a good situation. Is God helping him?

Where did that money come from...

Li Mengyang is not worried about money now. He has robbed New York and Boston a lot, and even the United States of America has snatched it back. It is the one who issued the government bonds.

This money is enough for him to spend. Now Li Mengyang is a super rich man in the mid-19th century. The person in charge of taking care of these money is the big Bill.

This old boy still doesn't forget to ask Li Mengyang for the antidote. He is very afraid of death, so he is desperate to transport and store money.

Panama's strategy should be foolproof. Now the Revolutionary Army has left 10,000 people, so there will definitely be less than 10,000 people who follow Li Mengyang to California. Can such a small number of people take over California?

Li Mengyang is very clear about California's strength. Perhaps the local government forces are not enough to see it, but the people there are very tough, and he tasted it back then.

At this time, the California gold diggers were conservatively estimated to be more than 300,000, and at least 80% were men. These guys were all kinds of weirdos, such as robbers and murderers...

In other words, if a team of less than 10,000 people wants to capture a big city like California, especially San Francisco, there seems to be some problems. So what should I do?

"San Master, are you here?" After Li Mengyang and Matthew and the others held the Panama occupation meeting, they came to find Mr. Huang.

"Oh! Isn't this Li boy? Why do you call me the third master? I am not your third master." Huang San will enjoy it even if he has money. He has a two-story stone building in Panama. When he saw Li Mengyang coming, Huang San quickly came out to greet him.

"Then, I don't call me Sanye, what's my name?" To be honest, the time has been a bit long, and it's really a bit distant.

Li Mengyang and Huang San had a conflict of ideas back then. If it weren't for Huang Rong, that...

"You don't know what you called me? Why don't you call me dad?" Huang San's words... take advantage of it?

"Dad! What were you talking about?" Li Mengyang didn't shout, but someone inside shouted out. Needless to say, it was naturally a girl Huang Rong.

"Haha..." Li Mengyang smiled. He could imagine the face of a girl Huang Rong at this time, and that must be red.

"What's wrong? You kid is ungrateful? We father and daughter helped you! You are now developed, you don't admit it? Moreover, I promised your daughter to you! Do you still want to repent?" Huang San asked in a row of questions, storm!

Li Mengyang was a little helpless. He really wanted to talk about big things this time, but unexpectedly, Huang San insisted on talking about family affairs first.

Come on!

Li Mengyang bowed and bowed, "My sister Rong is naturally my wife. Old Taishan is above, please accept a prayer from your son-in-law!"

"Hehe! OK! OK! OK!" Huang San was a dog face, and he immediately smiled.

"Dad!" Sister Huang Rong was extremely happy, but she still couldn't come out like that, so I'm sorry.

Li Mengyang felt funny in his heart. This girl gave him all her, but she was so arrogant, hehe...

However, Huang San did not forget the first thing he said, "Meng Yang, what are you going to say to me?"

Li Mengyang laughed. He really couldn't help it because he could think of Huang San's expression afterwards. He only heard him say, "It's still the same thing, let's do it!"

Huang San saw sweat on his head, and felt that his son-in-law would not have anything else, so he knew how to fight the government! (To be continued...)
