Chapter 145 Landing in Los Angeles!
July 1, 1862, in the Pacific Ocean.↖
"Your Majesty, you want..."
"Don't call it Your Majesty, Brother Mengyang."
"You are all the emperors, you are not serious."
"The emperor is also Brother Meng Yang, so I love to listen."
"Okay,...Brother Meng Yang."
"Why!"
"Brother Meng Yang, you can go to the battle with peace of mind. My little sister is looking forward to the news of your victory with Brother Meng Yang. In addition, that..."
"What?"
"You don't have to worry about the harem..."
"Harma?"
"I know about Sister Elena, I..."
"Girl, don't think about this..."
In the captain's cabin of a merchant ship, Li Mengyang was planning the scene of leaving Panama not long ago. Girl Huang Rong naturally came to the dock to see her off, and her outfit was very luxurious. Of course, it was not the queen's clothes, but she also had that momentum. Anyway, she had to be the style of the imperial concubine.
As for the Ilena thing, it's very simple, it's that meaning, but in fact, Li Mengyang's thing... it's hard to say about this matter anyway, in the harem, this man, this emperor, and Eleanor, there may be... Well, Li Mengyang has to admit that he is a normal man. If he has no idea about this great benefit to the emperor, it would be too nonsense. What's even more rare is that Huang Rong is still relatively enlightened.
Of course, it may be that guy Huang San, so it’s hard to say... Anyway, Li Mengyang would not admit that he chose to use imperial power to intimidate Chinese compatriots. He was not the emperor to open a harem!
"Your Majesty. What are you thinking?"
"Oh. I didn't think of anything."
It was a bit embarrassing when others saw him distracted. Li Mengyang immediately turned up and pretended to be majestic.
"Your Majesty, everyone you want is here." The guy Liszt smiled and retreated aside, and several people came in behind him.
There are Samuel DuPont, Ocassi, Gatlin, Chamberlain, Mai Youli, Xie Tiansi, and Xie Zhong. These individuals are the main officials of Li Mengyang's tour of California this time, so he is ready to rely on them.
"His Majesty!"
When the crowd arrived in Li Mengyang's cabin, they bowed and bowed. Didn't they say before that our empire would not have to kneel down.
"Gentlemen!" Li Mengyang didn't have much politeness and went straight to the topic, "I'll come to you. There's nothing else, it's just a combat meeting!"
"Combat Conference?" Samuel DuPont was a little confused at first.
"Hut-majesty." Chamberlain now said that His Majesty was easy. "Didn't we have held a combat meeting before and have determined the target? Didn't we just log in directly in San Francisco and capture there?"
That's right, before the army operates, it is natural that it will hold a combat meeting to formulate a combat policy. At that combat meeting, Li Mengyang went against the crowd. He determined the plan to directly attack San Francisco, but now...
"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang smiled, and then said: "That combat plan no longer counts. We need to discuss a new combat plan now!"
"ah?"
"this……"
The officials of the American Socialist Democratic Empire don’t understand why?
"I want to say sorry for this."
When everyone heard Li Mengyang speak like this, they were all excited at that time.
“Sent-majesty!”
"Long live my emperor!"
Yes, Emperor, he apologized, this is... Well, in fact, from the root of this guy, Li Mengyang, has no idea of being an emperor at all.
"Stop, stop, stop, let's talk about the serious business." Li Mengyang quickly signaled, let's not waste time.
“all-hail-lee!”
"Long live my emperor!"
But where is it so easy to stop?
Forget it... In fact, the reason why Li Mengyang did this is because he was afraid that his actions would leak secrets!
Yes, the original place was Panama, where few Americans came and went?
Didn’t the Californian know about the things he did in Panama? So, Li Mengyang thought together that there must be a spy!
In fact, to put it this way, as Li Mengyang knows, saying that they are spies is simply an insult to the word spy.
Li Mengyang heard about spies when he was in Washington, for example, a more famous "little giant" Douglas had a cousin who sent some information to the south, so she became a traitor!
There is also the matter of the Galaudett Academy. Although the information that the blind people can provide is also information, it is obviously impossible to be particularly confidential.
In other words, spies these days are too amateurs, but amateurs are also spies. They can also convey messages, so Li Mengyang naturally has to be a little careful.
How to prevent it?
It's very simple, just like now, our real combat meeting was held on the sea, and now everyone is on the boat!
The means of information dissemination in this year have determined that anything we say on the ship cannot be transmitted to land, so this trick is particularly simple and safe.
And, the previous combat plan has been passed on, so it may not be possible to arrive in California very quickly, but it may not be possible, what if the spy ran to Mexico to send a telegram to the United States?
Then, such news can help Li Mengyang.
"Your Majesty, what is your new combat plan?" The guy Liszt asked the question that everyone wants to know.
Li Mengyang smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. We need to change the route slightly. The first stop in California is no longer San Francisco, but Los Angeles!"
"Los Angeles?"
When this place name was spoken by Li Mengyang, everyone was surprised...
Half a month later, dozens of large ships stopped on the sea surface of Long Beach, Los Angeles. Hulala people sent them to the coast!
"I said Lao Wang. We are here now. Are we going to fight a war?"
"Of course! Then why are we here to do if we don't fight?"
"Will you shoot?"
"It's okay, I'll let two robbers go when training for the recruits!"
"Oh, you are better than me. I was scared at the time and ran away on the excuse."
"Hahaha... you coward!"
"Don't laugh at me, wait until the time comes, see if you wet your pants!"
Most of these people who came off the boat were yellow-skinned Chinese. The clothes they wore were messy, but one feature was that most of them were green, although they were not uniform uniforms.
"On there! Stop talking! You didn't let you talk!"
There were also many white people who followed, some of them in the Chinese team, and they looked like officials.
“Yes, yes!”
"June, we don't talk, we don't talk."
The Chinese, who was chatting and fucking just now, smiled at the white officer, and all this fell into Li Mengyang's eyes.
"Oh~" a long sigh. Li Mengyang himself knew that the current Chinese soldiers were not reliable, but he had no choice but to learn about war in war.
"Your Majesty, they just haven't experienced war. I have heard from others that if a war is fought, the new recruits will become veterans." Xie Tiansi understood Li Mengyang's thoughts. This person is very smart.
"Your Majesty Mengyang." The only one who calls Li Mengyang is Mai Youli. His name is quite unique, and the key is that he can't correct it for a while. "Don't worry! I will definitely not disappoint you!"
In fact, Mai Youli is the military chief of the Chinese army. This matter was decided by Li Mengyang. Of course, the deputy was Chamberlain. Li Mengyang thought about it very early on that he would let this top student teacher teach his compatriots. Now start with the war.
"Of course I'm relieved." Li Mengyang just gave this sentence.
In fact, the current army is composed of this, the revolutionary army has a total of 5,000. This is the army. You should know that Li Mengyang’s original plan was to bring nearly 10,000 revolutionary troops, but you also got a large portion of them for the navy. In California, although the US military was very bad when Li Mengyang was tried, they must have their own power at sea.
There are still people in this group, because the naval ships in Li Mengyang's hands are all modified by merchant ships, and their combat effectiveness is very poor, so they can only win by relying on the number of people. They can't shoot cannons, and when they get closer, they can board the ship to fight, so they can use this method.
In terms of the Chinese army, there are actually only 5,000 people. If there are too many, they really can't be recruited, and it's too late to get the time.
That is to say, Li Mengyang now has 10,000 military strength. Of course, more than 5,000 of them are recruits, which is unreliable. Then the battle in front of him is the capture of Los Angeles, this...
"Report!"
"Speaking!"
"My Majesty! Lieutenant Colonel Ocassi has captured Los Angeles, and the mayor of Los Angeles surrenders!"
“very-well!”
Very good, very good!
Li Mengyang expressed his gratitude. He deserved to be the old army he led, and this action was very fast. However, the title of His Majesty Comrade is indeed a bit weird, but there is nothing we can do about it.
This is Los Angeles? Is that so easy?
It’s so easy, because now Los Angeles is a thousand miles apart from the Los Angeles in later generations. In Li Mengyang’s eyes, the Los Angeles in the present is a small fishing village!
Well, from the perspective of the whole west, Los Angeles is definitely not a village at this time. It is at least a town, but there are really not many people and it is very small. This place has not developed. There is no way. This place is not justified or not, and all the boats from the sea run to San Francisco.
So, why did Li Mengyang capture such a place first?
Li Mengyang ordered to the commemoration officer: "Tell Lieutenant Colonel Ocassi to collect supplies and purify the troops. There is no need to report to me and say goodbye. According to the original plan, we will immediately march into San Bernardino!"
"yes-private!" The messenger greeted and immediately turned his horse's head.
San Bernardino? Where is that place?
This place is indeed abrupt and not very famous, but this place guards a road, which is called the "Old Spanish Trail"! (To be continued, please search for Piaotian, novels are better, updated and faster!
