Chapter 144 Fight back to California! We are just!
According to the information from Leland Stanford, who is still making money and making fun, California has already learned about the news that Panama was occupied by the Revolutionary Army!
Li Mengyang was not surprised by this news, because it couldn't keep the paper from being popular. There were so many commercial goods through Panama that you couldn't control it at all. However, it was still a bit unexpected when it was exposed so early. So what should I do about this matter?
"Mr. Stanford, I will give you the best treatment now, and your business will grow very well!"
"Ha! That's great!"
Li Mengyang told Lilan Stanford at that time, you should do business hard, but you should be very busy. √∟
That's the solution?
Yes, Li Mengyang has this method. The reason why he did this is one purpose, that is, to maintain the status quo, maintain the normal supply of materials and normal business order in California.
As long as the business order is still normal, California will not make much changes, and Li Mengyang's chance will be here.
To be honest, when Li Mengyang knew the name Lilan Stanford, he didn't care much about it. He had a lot of names, but later, he heard it more often, and then he remembered that 80% of this guy would be the one who built the Central Railway in the future!
However, this old guy actually had the idea of a girl Rong'er. This foreigner has a good vision... Oh, Stanford, please wait for me, now you can use it first, and you will definitely dig a hole for you later!
Conspirator Li Mengyang is not a waste of time...
But Li Mengyang originally estimated that the three months would definitely not be so abundant now.
On June 29, 1862, on this day, many ships gathered in Panama's West Bank. The Panama Revolutionary Military Government had just issued an order. That is, all cargo ships coming to Panama will be controlled by the revolutionary army!
Simply put, we took down all the merchant ships!
Then won’t these businessmen make trouble?
If you make a fuss, you will definitely make a fuss, but Li Mengyang, who just became the emperor of the American Socialist Democratic Empire, issued an order, that is, we will compensate you. You can pick one of the ships on the east coast of Panama and continue to do business.
If you don’t agree to this, then I’m sorry, our revolutionary army’s iron fist is not a vegetarian!
Many of those who were dissatisfied and made trouble were arrested and were in prison. The charges were simple and they were speculative!
When these businessmen saw that their little arms could not twist their thighs, so they should just accept it.
In fact, the matter of controlling merchant ships started half a month ago. That is, at that time, you don’t think about leaving when you come, but there was no such open fire at that time.
And if you do this, it goes without saying that the result will be blocked immediately, so...
This requires action!
"Hey! Hey!"
"Try more!"
On the Pier in the West Bank of Panama, thousands of people are busy carrying things and transporting goods, and the most troublesome thing is the cannon!
These ships were originally merchant ships. Now the American Socialist Democratic Empire is going to attack California. So why don’t you run a few doors?
Attack California now?!
When others question Li Mengyang's decision, he always answered this way, "Yes, we have to attack California now, and we must take action immediately!"
No matter who it is, when he faces Li Mengyang's Jianyi's eyes, he will never say anything. This is the order of Emperor Clint Li, and this is the emperor's destiny!
But, however, when Li Mengyang brought his entourage to this pier and saw the scene here, some people were still feeling a little confused.
"These Chinese may be good at working, but when they really come to the battlefield, can they do it?" The person who asked this question was Liszt. He is now the chief guard of Li Mengyang, and he is already the rank of major.
In fact, Li Mengyang is also considering this issue. He is not the kind of emperor in the palace who has never seen the battle formation. He is an emperor who has experienced many life and death wars. Therefore, just the Chinese and their compatriots in front of him are all new recruits, and the training time is really not enough!
"It's okay if you don't work!" This is Li Mengyang's answer.
Yes, it must be done if it doesn’t work, because there is no other choice. If we don’t attack California, then California will attack us!
Looking at the terrain of Panama, Costa Rica to the north, Colombia to the south, which is now New Granada. There are seas on both sides of the east and west. Although it really faces the direction of the sea, it is actually from north to south, and Panama is a place lying between North and South America.
If you don’t attack, then what should you do when California contacts the US federal government and sends troops from both sides to conquer?
At that time, the original geographical advantages of Panama will instantly become disadvantages!
But Li Mengyang didn’t think about all this at all, why?
No need to think about it! Because I must be the first to launch the attack! Fight California first!
Yes, Li Mengyang has this confidence. He planned the entire California strategy early in the morning!
However, this issue of military source is indeed a bit...
Before he came to the United States, Li Mengyang didn't know the status of Chinese workers, and now he really understands the true status of his compatriots.
Are there any advantages?
Of course, there are hard work, hard work, smart and wise... Anyway, there are so many.
But there are many shortcomings, such as small peasant thoughts, gambling, smoking, stealing... Li Mengyang felt embarrassed about these things.
But this is the real human group, that's it. Li Mengyang must face it now. He has no other way and cannot hide!
To be honest, facing the war that is about to come, Li Mengyang has hypnotized himself countless times in his heart, that is, this time, he must not...a woman's kindness!
He is not in charge of the army, but we have to say some things ahead.
Li Mengyang said a few words to the guards beside him, and then they brought a few empty boxes over, then went down to find the non-commissioned officers who worked with him. They were the previous instructors.
Soon, the Chinese, including the original revolutionary officers and soldiers, gathered over.
"His Majesty the Emperor is going to speak!"
"Great! Let's listen to the teachings of the great leaders!"
"God! His Majesty Clint Lee is definitely a hero. I have heard the mayor say something to me when I grow up."
The Revolutionary Army responded well, but the Chinese were a little confused.
In fact, this is normal. After all, Chinese are all soldiers who have been conscripted. If you want them to voluntarily, it is a dream. Although the military pay offered by the emperor Li Mengyang is still quite attractive, twenty dollars a month. You should know that this salary is high even in California, and Chinese workers can't get so much.
"Comrades! Fellow countrymen!" Li Mengyang stood on the platform he had just built. His first sentence was in English and his second sentence was in Chinese. Why is this?
He continued, "Friends! I really want to call you comrades, but I know very well that you are not yet!"
This sentence is absolutely the truth!
"..." However, Chinese people don't understand. They don't understand what is the difference between comrades and compatriots.
"I know you don't understand." Li Mengyang is basically in Chinese now. "It's not your fault. It's really not your roots. And we don't have time to solve this root problem, but despite this, we must continue our career!"
Li Mengyang said this, but most Chinese people don’t understand it. Only a few people can hear something, such as Xie Tiansi, who participated in the “recruitment”.
But Li Mengyang still has to say that he must continue, "Comrades! I know you don't want to fight. Many of you came to America because they don't want to fight, because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, right? But we have to fight now, why?"
Li Mengyang didn't give anyone a chance to answer, and he immediately said loudly.
"Because we were bullied before! We were insulted in California before! You may not know that Li Mengyang, I was also a piglet in the past and lived in California, and I was also bullied by those foreigners! And now, why are you here in Panama? Haven't you been bullied by those bastards? What did those foreigners do? They verbally abused us! They cursed us! They charged us the same tax burden as difficult! They rob us! They even killed us! But what about us?"
"..." At this moment, although the Chinese were still quiet, their eyes were a little different, because they all had the hatred, and they had experienced all the things Li Mengyang said!
"But now!" Li Mengyang shouted: "The opportunity for revenge is here! Why are we going back? Why are we attacking California? It is because we want to get everything we have! There are property we have occupied by them! There are even our relatives there! Now! Are you willing to join me! Go back to California!?"
This speech made people excited, and the most important thing was to explain the reasons for sending troops to California this time. This was a battle of justice!
Yes, we are going to take revenge, it is definitely not a war of aggression!
Xie Tiansi was also excited when he heard it, and then he suddenly felt happy and shouted.
"Long live my emperor!"
When the sound came out, Hula and the Chinese immediately all fell to their knees and shouted.
"Long live my emperor!"
This momentum and this scene are really shocking. Anyway, the Revolutionary Army has never seen this before, but!
"Comrades!" Li Mengyang shouted again, "Don't kneel! Don't kneel! Our country has set a rule from now on, that is, don't kneel!" Then he said in English: "Don't kneel anymore! You just need to support me in your heart and just give normal salutes!"
In fact, Li Mengyang hopes that his compatriots can stand up at the heart level and not be as soft as their knees!
"Oh oh! What a wise monarch!? God! He must be the messenger you sent! Thank you!" Then this is the time for Liszt's performance. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
