In the face of this sudden news, the US Congress was a little dizzy, and they really couldn't understand how Daming's own situation was obviously not good, so how could he suddenly mobilize such a huge number of troops to surround the US military within a range of several hundred kilometers in three directions.

U.S. congressmen are not stupid, even if they are dizzy, but they are only fainted after reasonable analysis, and they make decisions only when they have a better chance of success.

They also considered the danger of the Ming army's ambush as the army said, but the news received from various directions made them think that the Ming army was indeed in a bad situation, and they were very sure that the Ming army's material supply was a problem, which could not be faked, because the military supplies shipped to the United States had been piled up in the port of Daming. Soldiers who are ready to go can't get on the ship.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for the Ming army to have the spare strength to launch such a large-scale attack.

But they ignored one point, if the Ming army had a good situation on the battlefield, they would not be able to ambush them.

It was precisely because there were some problems in the supply of the battlefield that the Ming army had to find ways to mobilize the US troops.

The Americans did not move, they have been attacking head-on, and the Ming Dynasty did not have the slightest chance, even if the military literacy of the US army was poor, but it could also be made up for in the operation of the large corps, but once the US army moved, the disadvantage of their low military literacy was exposed, and the army was transferred and pursued, leaving problems such as disconnection between the front and back, leaving a lot of opportunities for the Ming army.

This time, the U.S. military was able to cut off from it, and the U.S. military was successfully divided into three sections through two Rocky Valleys, mainly because the U.S. military itself had a gap.

After cutting off the U.S. army, the Ming army began to encircle, the military supplies of the Ming army were not enough, so they could not afford to fight a war of attrition, Deng Shicai almost concentrated all the materials to fight this war of annihilation, once the victory was naturally brilliant, once defeated, the Ming army was also very dangerous.

Therefore, there is no room for failure in this battle, the defense line of the Pecos River has been rebuilt, and orders have been given to the defenders to hold on to death, and not a single American soldier can let go of the river, and letting an American army cross the river means one more enemy.

As for the U.S. military, they have given up all illusions and only think about retreating, while the U.S. troops on the east bank of the Pecos River have launched one offensive after another, trying to break through the defense line again and rush to the aid of the American troops trapped in the rear.

The Third Battle of Pecos began.

However, after half a month of fighting, the U.S. troops still couldn't hold on, because the casualties were extremely heavy, and they paid the price of nearly 130,000 casualties, but they were never able to break through to the other side of the river. The U.S. army, which was divided and surrounded by the Ming army in the Rio Grande Valley, also launched several breakout operations, but it could not shake the encirclement of the Ming army.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for the Ming army to have the spare strength to launch such a large-scale attack.

But they ignored one point, if the Ming army had a good situation on the battlefield, they would not have been able to use ambush tactics.

It was precisely because of some problems in the supply of the battlefield that the Ming army had to find ways to mobilize the US troops.

If the Americans do not move and keep attacking head-on, the Ming Dynasty will not have the slightest chance, even if the basic military literacy of the US army is poor, but it can also be made up for very well in the operation of the large corps, but once the US army moves, their disadvantages of low military quality will be exposed, and the transfer and pursuit of the army will always leave problems such as disconnection between the front and back, leaving a lot of opportunities for the Ming army.

This time, the U.S. military was able to cut off from it, and the U.S. military was successfully divided into three sections through two Rocky Valleys, mainly because the U.S. military itself had a gap.

However, after half a month of fighting, the U.S. troops still couldn't hold on, because the casualties were extremely heavy, and they paid the price of nearly 130,000 casualties, but they were never able to break through to the other side of the river. The U.S. army, which was divided and surrounded by the Ming army in the Rio Grande Valley, also launched several breakout operations, but it could not shake the encirclement of the Ming army.

When the American offensive was weakened, the Ming army turned to a counteroffensive. The Ming army, which surrounded the US troops in the Rio Grande Valley, was like a wolf pack on the periphery, constantly attacking the US military units that were divided and surrounded.

The attack of the Ming army made the situation of the American army even worse, they suddenly fell into encirclement, and after being divided, the overall situation was divided into three sections, but there were countless small troops that were scattered and divided, these lost their organization, separated from the scattered troops of the main force, became lambs to the slaughter, without the power to protect themselves, they could only be eaten one by one, and most of them decisively chose to surrender.

In the end, when the Ming army swept away more than 100,000 scattered American remnants, the main force of the American army was successfully compressed within a narrow ten kilometers in the Grande Valley.

At this time, the Ming army proposed surrender to the American troops in the encirclement, and after careful consideration, the senior officers believed that they had fulfilled their duties as soldiers, and the American troops had no choice.

For a time, world public opinion was in an uproar!

Because 500,000 people surrendered, it was the largest war of annihilation in the history of world warfare after the Franco-Prussian War.

In the history of Chinese warfare, only the Battle of Changping and other super annihilation battles can be compared, but it is obvious that the fighting will of the US army cannot be compared with the Zhao soldiers in China more than 2,000 years ago.

However, the American army only held out for five days, and when they found that the dry rations they had brought for the march had been exhausted, the baggage had long been discarded, and the supplies could not keep up, they surrendered very neatly.

Obviously, the ancient Chinese lived in an extremely competitive social environment, and cultivated endurance that is rare in the world, and the Americans lived in the world's most privileged social environment, and they regarded the harassment of the Indians as the most painful thing in the world, and the suffering suffered by the two was not at the same level at all, so the resilience was not on the same level.

The surrender of 500,000 people was a huge blow to the United States, enough for them to begin to seriously consider the issue of peace talks.

As for the Ming Dynasty's proposal to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, they really seriously considered it. But at this time, the radicals had an absolute advantage in the Congress, and public opinion also supported the radicals. They claimed that once the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed and restrictions on Chinese immigration were lifted, within a decade, the Chinese would make up half of the population of the United States, and if this incident happened again, the Chinese would be able to drive everyone to the sea with just one rebellion. The lifting of the Chinese Exclusion Act is tantamount to ceding the United States to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is more direct and straightforward to let the United States invite the Ming Emperor to come to the United States to be the emperor of the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Their arguments are alarmist, but they are even more eye-catching, extremely panicked by white Americans, the voices of the main war are endless, and public opinion is constantly building momentum to demand that the war be carried out to the end. It was just a defeat, that the patriotic American people would join the army enthusiastically, and that the strong United States would be able to build more troops.

In this public opinion, some iron and steel industry and machinery industry groups played a role in fueling the flames, and it was obvious that they were the biggest beneficiaries of the war.

But even if, as the radicals say, the United States has the ability to build more armies, the United States needs time, after the 500,000 troops are annihilated, the American South is empty, and the Ming army can cross the Pecos River at any time, enter the Great Plains, attack San Antonio, attack Houston, and even attack New Orleans, even if the United States wants to continue the war, it will take time to rearm.

So the Americans took the initiative to mediate with Britain this time, and began to carry out more diplomatic activities in Europe, hoping to find more supporters.

The Ming army didn't need a time buffer, a large-scale war of annihilation, almost since the start of the war, Deng Shicai carefully accumulated and ran out of supplies.

If the two sides can temporarily cease fighting, the Ming can safely transport a large amount of supplies to the United States.

After hitting it off, the two sides held formal peace talks in London under the mediation of the British.

There were still quarrels at the meeting, and Daming said very loudly that he had no ambitions for the territory of the United States, but only to protect the rights and interests of the Chinese, and the demand he put forward did not change, that is, to demand the abolition of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The United States, for its part, insisted that the Ming Dynasty had no power to interfere with the judicial independence of the artists. The United States proposed that the United States was willing to protect the rights and interests of Chinese who had emigrated to the United States before the war, and that they would be given the right to settle in the United States permanently and to move freely in and out of the United States.

The Ming Dynasty demanded that Chinese nationals have the same rights as white Westerners, and resolutely could not accept racial discrimination decrees, but said that if the United States was willing to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Ming Dynasty was willing to continue to restrict immigration, and the government would not take the initiative to send immigrants to the United States, but the United States would not interfere with the free movement of private individuals, and ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of Ming nationals were not infringed upon. For those Chinese who have acquired American citizenship and demand that the U.S. government protect all their rights, especially the right to vote, the U.S. state governments have no choice but to deny the Chinese the right to vote for any reason, just as they did to the black people in the South.

Blacks were nominally emancipated, but they were segregated, and when they voted, they were always met with obstruction in one way or another, just to ensure that whites could continue to control the government, otherwise after the Civil War, with the number of blacks before the South, many states could have black governors, but in fact blacks could not even elect a single congressman.

At this time, in the western part of the United States, in the area occupied by the Ming army, Americans continued to move, some only temporarily fleeing the war, and some basically did not plan to return.

But at the same time that white Americans are moving out, a large number of Chinese are moving in, and not from China, but from the Chinese community in the Americas, and in the Americas, California is also one of the best lands, where you can earn more than any other region, and only Canada can barely compare.

The reason for this is that the backbone industry in California is mainly mining, and the minerals mined are still the highest value-added gold and silver mines, and copper mines are not very profitable. Because there is a lucrative backbone industry, the benefits that can be shared by other supporting industries are more than those in other regions, for example, growing vegetables in California is ten times more than growing vegetables in Daming.

However, this wave of immigration from the Americas is not for long-term earning a living, but for short-term workers attracted by high wages, organized by labor companies, and a large number of workers are needed here in California to fill the vacancies after the departure of Bayern's husband.

The gold and silver mines left by the whites could not be wasted in the Ming Dynasty, the military expenditure was high, and the army had to be self-sufficient in the occupied area, and of course it was impossible to rob, but the white strip had already appeared, and the army's military funds maintained the occupation, so the gold and silver mines could not be let go of the industrial army, so they recruited workers through labor companies nearby.

In addition, the farms left by the whites, although not so high added value, were extremely important for the war, and the more grain the farms produced here, the less grain the army could transport from other places, and the more transportation capacity could be saved.

A simple reason, if it weren't for the limited transportation capacity, the Ming army would not have to rest after a battle of annihilation, but would have pursued and taken the entire state of Texas with one go.

Even during the peace talks, Deng Shicai did not stop these operations, in his opinion, it is always right to be prepared, and he does not believe that the Americans will accept those conditions at all.

Because once the United States accepts the same treatment given to Ming immigrants, it is equivalent to making Americans recognize the equal superiority of whites and yellows, and this kind of ideological pathology is not only shared by a group of upper-class elites, but also by ordinary Americans.

This is a pitiful and pathetic mentality, they are obviously the lowest level of Europe, immigrants and even criminals who can't survive, and they are forced to come to the Americas to immigrate, but on the contrary, they are more discriminatory in their living conditions, and their living space is not as good as their other races, only with this discrimination can their hearts be satisfied, so as to offset the inferiority complex in front of Europeans.

This is like a kind of victim who always likes to inflict harm on the weaker to satisfy himself, it is a completely weak mentality, and the United States has never been able to get rid of this mentality before World War II, so it fiercely discriminates against other races at home. During World War I, when the American army entered Europe to fight, Commander-in-Chief Pershing went so far as to hand over the black units in his army directly to the French.

And these blacks lived very happily after joining the French army, because they found that the French did not isolate their mentality, treated them as equals, and they were ecstatic about this equality, and were willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for the French.

This kind of thing will continue until a hundred years from now, until the 1970s, when blacks will have to fight for black old people, pregnant women and children, not for white youth to give up bus seats. It was basically at that time that the Chinese set themselves up as model young people when white teenagers were becoming more and more decadent and Chinese children were relatively self-disciplined. To a certain extent, the Chinese still received the dividends of the black movement, and they were able to get rid of injustice. Once freed from this treatment, the Chinese surpassed whites in California in just a few decades, becoming a wealthier and more educated ethnic group than whites.

Deng Shicai didn't know this, he didn't have a long-term plan, everything revolved around the war, and he needed the West Coast of the United States as a solid rear. After more than a year of policing war, he believes that there are only two ways to completely control the area: to continue the repression and to attract immigrants and fill all the space so that the American resistance has no room to move around.

So he not only had to cultivate the existing arable land, but also to cultivate more land, and the most important thing here was land, and the arable land in the delta was basically occupied by Chinese and British and American farmers and agricultural companies, but there was still land in the Central Valley. And the Central Valley, with the Coast Mountains on one side and the Sierra Nevada on the other, are both mountainous areas, and they happen to be areas that the resisters like to hide. They descended the mountain to the barren central valley, completely unable to control their movements.

If you can resettle a million people and fill the Central Valley, then you can make these people go unnoticed.

But the Central Valley is so big that only a few areas near Los Angeles were previously cultivated by Chinese, far from the big cities, and even if the conditions were better, no one went to cultivate them, because the cost of transportation would make agricultural development completely unprofitable.

After careful investigation, he thought that it was not realistic for agricultural immigrants to occupy this place in the short term, especially in the desolate southern California, where snowmelt poured into the San Joaquin River every year, causing large swamps, with little rain in summer and drier in winter, knowing that in the mid-20th century, before California built a reservoir in the mountains, Southern California was relatively barren.

Deng Shicai thought that it would take time and effort to reclaim these places, and it would be useless to throw five million people into them, but if they were used to herd sheep, it would be quite appropriate.

So he asked the country to send some shepherds over, intending to establish a military ranch here.

Deng Shicai did not know that his unintentional move would have an extremely profound impact on an American nation.
