Chapter 302 Across Texas! Why jump to Vicksburg all of a sudden?
On the vast Texas grasslands, the previous hustle and bustle had settled. Those guys who had just come down from the hillside who were showing off were torn apart halfway. ∽↗3∽↗ Jiangge∽↗,:.
And then returned to peace, the animals that were scared away were back, especially the few vultures in the sky, and they seemed to be ready to come down for a meal at any time, but now there are still many people in the target.
But, in the distance, a group of people were on a strange machine. The people of the Empire knew that it was a car, but they had never seen it on Texas before. One of the cars was dressed in a well-decorated military uniform and a golden dragon embroidered on it, which was very eye-catching.
That’s right, of course, this is the emperor of the New Tang Empire in the United States, His Majesty Li Mengyang!
Originally, he usually didn't wear this eye-catching outfit on the battlefield, but this time, he was really a little caucasian, just a bandit with dozens of people.
"Your Majesty! William Bloody Bill Anderson has been wiped out all! The previous Frank James is still alive, so please ask Your Majesty for the Holy Judgment!"
Obviously, the battle just now has ended, and that Frank James is a 25-year-old, an undercover agent arranged by our empire to get him out of Anderson.
"Although that guy is also heavily in debt, this time he has made some contributions. If you promised him before, let him be free." Li Mengyang waved his hand, thinking that this problem was too small.
&ns-tempt r-majesty!" The messenger went down immediately.
&ne!”
"Long live my emperor!"
There were several senior officials following the emperor. When they saw His Majesty the Emperor’s promise, the slogan came immediately.
However, facing all this, seeing such a magnificent scenery, Li Mengyang was really moved in his heart, and he only heard him say.
"Spring is here, and it is the mating season on the grassland again..."
OK. This guy Li Mengyang is reminded of the high-rated programs in later generations, the Animal World...
However, what I said now was not what Teacher Zhao said. This is His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire!
"Oh! God! Every word your Majesty said is the truth!"
"Your Majesty's words revealed the essence of this place, which makes me admire you!"
"That's right! This sentence has extremely profound truths and also has profound scientific principles. Biology experts may not be able to refute Your Majesty! The most important thing is that they are also extremely high..."
Faced with this situation, Li Mengyang couldn't help but blush his old face...
After breaking through El Paso, the army of the American Empire naturally took down the Brisburg next to it, and then drove straight into the depths of Texas. They naturally encountered many gangs like Bloody Bills, and the Blue Eagles. But it doesn't matter.
With this kind of armed forces, if you don’t put down your weapons, you will be killed directly!
And if you are willing to put down your weapons, that's great. The Empire gives you money. This money is the money to buy the weapons you have. If you want to go home, you will be rewarded with the travel expenses. If you don't want to go home, you can also have a small amount of money waiting. Of course, if you want to join us, that's fine, anyway, there's food in the army...
This is Li Mengyang's method, and the reason for doing this is actually very simple. He understood the real situation in Texas at this time. He knew that these bandits, that is, the guerrillas, were actually not popular, so he could take drastic and heavy blows.
And, one thing to note is that the army led by Li Mengyang is an external force, and this force will definitely be resisted by all Texans. In other words, it is useless to give them a good face now!
Then let’s just play hard first. When our fists are shown, we will give you sugar beans to eat.
The so-called Tangdou is actually the three major disciplines and eight points of attention that the Emperor* team has implemented after they arrive here, that is, the supplies we need, they are all purchased from the local area, and we exchanged them for real money!
Originally, this place in Texas was close to Mexico, so a lot of supplies could be taken directly from Mexico, which means that they could not be purchased. However, Li Mengyang insisted on doing this in order to show the appearance of the Emperor Team like the local residents.
Those who are in the army these days are so cruel, and not only are regular soldiers, but also militias are fierce!
Many people probably don’t know that militias are really killing people, and their methods are quite cruel. Not to mention anything else, the main job of militias in the south is to catch deserters. If they catch them, they will kill them. The shelterers are also killed. Most of the shelterers are relatives, so they often destroy their families...
This is true for your own people, what about others?
So, when the empire's army showed something different from other military forces, we were more reasonable, and there were also many white people in our team. At this time, Texas, at least from the perspective of the common people, really had no resistance.
Texas is actually a tough folk custom, almost every man is a cowboy, and playing with guns and riding horses is like eating. These ordinary people who don’t want to participate in the war will not resist the emperor’s **, so the whole situation will be much better.
In addition, the empire also killed bandit gangs. This matter is beneficial to the local area. It should be said that whether it is the guerrillas in the north or the guerrillas in the south, it is unpopular!
Yes, they can use their "righteousness", that is, we are to resist the Yankees, we are to defend our homes, and the Yankees are the same. They can use the banner to pull the tiger's skin and say that they are robbing and massacreing the people, which can be said to be just.
That Frank James was the former subordinate of Cotterill, but Cotterill, the leader of the tree-cutting gang, had been eliminated by Li Mengyang's heavy punch. When Frank James saw it, he might as well go to this emperor.
You know, he also has a younger brother, Quincy James. As soon as the two brothers came over, they immediately offered suggestions and said that they were familiar with this place in Texas, so let's just help you attract all the gangs.
This time, Quincy James is actually a hostage in disguise. His brother convinced that bloody Bill, what if he runs away?
As a result, it is naturally a result of success in one battle.
That is, help destroy the bandits. Then they trade fairly. Where can I find such a good person?
As a result, the empire gained a lot of people's hearts in this way, and the progress of the entire strategy of Texas was naturally much faster.
In March, San Antonio was taken down before April, and then Austin, the capital of Texas, announced his surrender. By June, the empire's army had already crossed the entire state of Texas!
You know, this place is quite small. It is a very big state!
In fact, it is precisely because of this that this state is large but not many people, so it is normal to take it so quickly. Moreover, Li Mengyang is not actually controlled by the entire territory. He is just on an important route, that is, these more important cities. Leave his soldiers, as for the main force, he still has to go east, and the target is Atlanta.
But can Washington stand such a war situation?
"Mr. Cameron?! Didn't you say that the tyrant would not achieve any results so quickly?"
In the White House, after President Lincoln received the news, he was about to go crazy. He lost another state. What a great deal?!
"..." Cameron's face was pale at this time. To be honest, what he said was not like at the time, but his general intention was almost the same. He didn't know how to refute it, but he had to push the responsibility. "Mr. President, this matter was simply because of that bastard Sherman, he was dereliction of duty! He did not have effective defense! This made the tyrant take Texas so easily!"
If you want to talk about this, what Cameron said is a bit reasonable, because Sherman is newly defeated, and he only has a few remaining soldiers and Dias's Mexican government troops, but these individuals combined have more than 10,000 people.
In fact, this is the power of almost all the Northern Federations in Texas, but there are only tens of thousands of people.
The Emperor** side has a weight of 80,000. Although Li Mengyang thinks that the only one who can fight is 30,000, there are more people than Sherman. Of course, Washington will not consider the problem like this.
"This..." Lincoln really wanted to refute Cameron. He really wanted to teach this old man a lesson, but he had no idea.
This time, the most important figures in the Lincoln Cabinet have come, and Sward, Chase and others will naturally not be absent.
Sward said: "The current situation is not to shirk responsibility. We should find a solution to the tyrant!"
"Can you say there's another assassination?" Chase, the guy, wanted to misinterpret Sward's meaning again.
"Gentlemen!" Best, the attorney general, couldn't stand it anymore. "We must know now where that Sherman is?"
Oh yes, this question is good. Sherman is actually the key figure in the three states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi!
Lincoln immediately reacted, "Yes! Gentlemen! We are going to order General Sherman, he must keep Louisiana! Our United States cannot lose another inch of land!"
This was really righteous, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the conference room.
Knock knock knock knock...
"Come in!" Lincoln was not angry either.
The one who walked in was one of his secretary named John Nicholas. He said nothing, but just handed Lincoln a telegram.
"Mr. President! I will definitely stand by Vicksburg!... William Sherman, in Houston..."
What the hell does this mean?
Lincoln was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked... (To be continued.)
