Chapter 253: Occupy California (III)

With Yang Dongfang's guarantee, coupled with Yang Dongfang's next strength, Song Wandao originally had some ambitions to achieve a great cause, and he was not in the ink. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So Yang Dongfang ordered him to be the commander of the security of San Francisco, of course, this security commander was given by order of Norton I, the emperor of the United States, and was responsible for the security of San Francisco.

With the exemplary participation of the court, coupled with Yang Dongfang's initiative, an army of 10,000 Chinese was formed in San Francisco on the same day, which was divided into 6 regiments, namely the San Francisco Security Regiment, and the head of the regiment Song Wandao.

San Jose City Security Regiment, Stockton Security Regiment, Royal Guard Division three regiments, division commander Wan Lei.

The security regiment, the royal guard division, was trained and commanded by Wan Lei first, and distributed 600 captured weapons breech guns and 200 pistols to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Yang Dongfang did not draw guns from the domestic troops, after all, California has a small population, and the US military strength is only so little, these forces are enough, and the main concern is only the reaction of civilians.

It's dawn! The people of San Francisco were so frightened by the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night that they couldn't sleep, so they opened the closed doors and took to the streets. Seeing the Chinese armed forces approaching him, he was very surprised and slightly shocked.

Revealing an innate sense of disgust, he was about to shout 'Fark' when he heard the beating of drums and the shouting of American businessmen, mainly Minier.

At this time, people learned that overnight, Emperor Norton had his own royal guards, his own soldiers and horses, and the Chinese expressed their support for him, and went to the police station last night to rescue Norton.

And the city hall was captured, various institutions, the formation of the guard, the gendarmerie, the security regiment, the new police.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, the newspaper office was smashed open, and a new edict from His Majesty the Emperor was printed.

Dissolve Congress, appoint a new president, commander-in-chief of the army, new mayor, and more.

Norton had dissolved Congress once, dismissed the commander of the U.S. Army, declared the mayor invalid, and said that he would severely punish corruption, form a new government, and get the law and order in order, but of course no one paid attention to him at that time.

I didn't expect that overnight, these things really came true, although it was only San Francisco at the moment, and the people of San Francisco didn't know what to say for a while, but there was not much opposition, but it was strange in their hearts, after all, the royal guards were all Chinese with yellow faces.

And Norton was also dizzy last night, when Wan Lei proposed these things, he agreed without thinking about it, so he was full of pride, and pointed out the new imperial army guards, walking on the streets to patrol and instruct the government work.

Lived in the city hall, changed into a brand new dragon robe, gathered the citizens to the square, pacified the people, and gave a simple speech on equality.

"All the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of race, colour, whether they are native residents, immigrants from various countries, or Indians, shall be equal and shall not discriminate, and shall be recognized by law, and shall enjoy the right to seek medical care, go to school, work, etc."

With this speech prepared by the renovated People's Army, Norton was recognized by a small number of people, especially foreign immigrants, who felt that he was a great emperor of fraternity, of course, many locals still disdained this and refused to admit it, but they did not dare to move under the swords and guns of the New People's Army.

The form is in shape, Norton stands on the high platform, enjoying the blessings of the people, holding his head up, his body straight, and a sense of accomplishment that he has never felt before.

When Norton was fluttering, Yang Dongfang, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the United States Army of the United States of America, took a guard battalion, plus the newly formed San Jose City Security Regiment, and the Stockton Security Regiment rushed to San Jose, 64 kilometers northwest of San Francisco.

The city of San Jose served as the state capital from 1849 to 1851 and served as a commodity supplier for gold prospectors.

In 1864, the railroad opened to San Francisco, which developed into a distribution and processing center for agricultural products in the Santa Clara Valley.

More than 300 guards and police officers were killed and captured, and 500 guns were seized, mostly pistols, all of which were handed over to the San José City Security Corps.

In California, there are three ports, one is San Francisco, the second port is the capital Sacramento, and the third port is Stockton, at this time Stockton has a population of 40,000 or 50,000, it is an inland harbor city, mainly agricultural, and also rose in the gold rush. There are also thousands of Chinese there.

At the same time, it is also an important way for San Francisco to get to Sacramento by land, the location is extremely important, and the railroad is also built, and Yang Dongfang took people on the train to appear in Stockton the next day.

Looking at the yellow faces that got off the train and the heavily armed soldiers, the people of Stockton were stunned.

"Fack! My eyes don't have flowers, what is the situation! ”

"What are you doing, yellow monkey, don't come here, I'm going home and get a gun."

The Americans at the station turned around and tried to run, but when a shot hit, the soldiers of the Guard Regiment who rushed out quickly opened fire, killing everyone who was about to run, and then capturing the people lying on the ground.

Finally, he took out the newspaper with Norton I founding the Imperial Guard, dissolving Congress, and taking charge of California, and reached out to these people to let them see it clearly.

Then the Chinese, who could speak English, said to these people: "We are the royal guard of His Majesty the Emperor, from now on Stockton is officially under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor, anyone who dares to disobey the orders of Norton I will be hanged directly, and they are traitors to the American Empire, and they will be spurned by the people of the whole country, and their feelings will be crucified. ”

The captives were dizzy to hear, Norton I had heard of it, it was just a joke, who took it seriously, although he took advantage of the loophole, what about the only emperor, who cares about a homeless man.

But now this guy actually has the Imperial Army Guards, and they are all Orientals, which is incredible.

Some people want to scold, saying that Norton rebelled or something, but after saying it, it was wrong again, because Norton was indeed the emperor of the United States, could he still rebel against him?

Anyway, it's a bit weird!

Soon the New People's Army rushed into the city, and the gunfire alarmed the citizens, who all ran home, closed the doors, and opened the windows to reveal a gap the size of an eye, aiming at the street outside.

Soon the usually arrogant policemen, armed with pistols, came majestically and ran in the direction of the gunshots, and after a while, more intensive gunshots rang out, and a burst of fire was fired on the street, hitting the wooden pillars, doors and windows, and the stone walls crackling.

The police retreated, fleeing, and dozens of bodies fell on the streets.
