Liang Wengeng, dressed in a beautiful and crisp white admiral uniform and wearing a military cap on his head, seemed to be unable to get enough of this noisy and vibrant town, and the golden stars on his shoulders shone brightly under the sun. [Full text reading]

And the entourage of the state capital not far behind him was staring with awe and reverence at his hard face carved by the axe and peck, which was covered with those hideous scars that were like proof of meritorious service.

Although his face looked a little terrifying, but it did not affect his temperament and demeanor of an iron-blooded soldier, at this moment, he heard bursts of enthusiastic cheers from the seaside pier, from his scarred, hideous face showed a faint, but very gentle smile, took off his hat, stretched out his hand to comb the short hair mixed with silver, the braid on the back of his head had long been shaved, now, he is no longer the subject of the Manchu court, nor is he the one who is spurned and despised, Even a feared pirate, but a respected and beloved Supreme Commander of the Liang Family's New World Fleet.

Here in the New World, the Chinese are full of gratitude for this New World fleet, because they have been cruising the vast west coast every moment, driving out those who have bad intentions, and in just two years, there have been dozens of conflicts with Western pirates and greedy Western explorers.

If it weren't for their protection, the ships that travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles. There are also those fleets that have crossed the Pacific Ocean for thousands of miles, and I don't know how many Western bandits will be sacked.

And it is this fierce battle again and again, with the cost of blood and life, so that this was originally just a vote of stragglers like the Oriental pirates to sharpen into a real maritime power, now, the Chinese New World fleet patrols the ocean and territory, those Western pirates have been very knowledgeable and dare not make up their minds, only a few stunned, or the new pirate army that has joined the pirate world wants to try their hands, however, Liang Wengeng will never be soft, the heads of Western pirates, not ten thousand, there are seven or eight thousand, Only death can make them understand what fear tastes like.

Liang Wengeng has always kept in mind what Liang Pengfei said: For the enemy, never be soft, unless the war knife in your hand has pierced his heart, otherwise, the next moment, the one who falls to the ground is likely to be you who had the advantage one second ago.

Recalling the past, Liang Wengeng couldn't help but reach out and touch a deep scar in the corner of his eye, which was not long ago, in the area of Los Angeles, during a fierce artillery battle with a group of powerful Western pirates, a piece of collapsed deck fragments was opened.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In that battle, Liang Wengeng can still clearly recall every scene at that time. If it weren't for the desperate push of his own guards at that time, maybe he would have fed the fish and shrimp in the sea now.

Fortunately, in the end, after the reinforcements arrived in time, they successfully crushed the last trace of the opponent's stubborn confidence, and in the end, captured the opponent's four three-masted battleships and two fourth-class battleships, and Liang Wengeng learned from the mouths of those prisoners of war that it was an expedition fleet of the United States of America.

It is said that it is an expedition fleet, but in fact it is a pirate fleet composed of a group of greedy and plundering Americans, with the name of national exploration, and those who can't win are soft, and when they see what they can clean up, they will burn and loot fiercely.

When Liang Wengeng thought of the large number of brothers who died in that battle, he felt as if a fire had burned in his heart, burning his chest hot. Clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "Those dog mongrels, wait, Your Excellency will make you pay the price you deserve......"

At this time, Liang Wengeng saw a group of knights running in the distance, and subconsciously squinted his eyes, some of the knights could tell that they were Chinese at a glance, and the other part of the knights were covered with gorgeous feathers, and the robes were Indian tribal chiefs and other figures. And in the middle, there seem to be two Westerners, but it seems that the two Westerners seem to be tied, and Liang Wengeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

At this moment, the other party seemed to have noticed Liang Wengeng standing on the balcony of the state capital building, and after waving his hand at him, he accelerated the speed of the horse, and after a short time, the team had already rushed to the square in front of the state capital building.

After seeing clearly that the leader was Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Ye, the commander of the state garrison in San Francisco, Liang Wengeng put on the general's hat again, straightened the buttons of his coat, and nodded to the accompanying person: "Okay, let's go down." ”

"Wen Geng, you are here, I have been waiting for you for three days, how about it, this voyage is quite smooth, right?" The middle-aged man who was just in front of the horse team, Zhu Ye saw Liang Wengeng who came to the hall, and greeted Liang Wengeng with a happy face. "The Governor is dealing with a dispute on the south side, and I'm sure he'll be glad to know you're back."

"It's okay, this time except for two small fish and shrimp, it's calm." Liang Wengeng returned the salute and smiled faintly, raised his eyes to look at the Indians who had walked into the hall, and smiled at them to show friendship.

After Zhu Ye saw Liang Wengeng's expression, he knew that now was not a good time to continue asking, so he turned around and beckoned those Indians to sit down. "Alright, come over first, let me introduce you to these Indian brothers, this is the Bison Chieftain, and this is his son Wolfeye. There are also these warriors and wise men of their tribe, who are here today in the hope of getting help from us. ”

"What's wrong? Dear warriors, what do you need our help with? Liang Wengeng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked with some curiosity.

After the Hindians had spoken in their own language, the chief's son, the tall and strong wolf-eyed, stood up and bowed respectfully to Liang Wengeng and Zhu Ye, and then began to describe in stammering Chinese why they had come here.

It turned out that they were a tribe of the Hamovi people, some time ago, a group of Westerners suddenly appeared in their territory and did not know what to do, they quickly sent the warriors of the tribe to investigate, and the two sides had a fierce conflict due to language barriers, the number of the other party was about sixty or seventy people, and each person had a musket, their tribe paid the price of more than twenty warriors, and even the young son of the buffalo chieftain Gray Wolf died under the other party's gun, which repelled these guys, Five whites were killed, and two prisoners of war were captured, and finally one of the elders of the tribe who had contact with the Westerners asked about the two prisoners of war, and even guessed that they knew a little bit about it, they were an American expedition that came to this area to find gold in this area.

The two white prisoners of war also demanded that the tribe release them immediately, for their follow-up troops would arrive, and if they could not return to their expedition by then, an American expedition of more than two hundred men would cost the tribe dearly.

And their tribe can only have only three hundred and fifty warriors, and among them, no more than fifty warriors can own horses, and with those stone axes and spears in their hands, it is a dream to try to deal with an American expedition with more than two hundred in number and one musket each.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Fortunately, however, they thought of the Chinese, outsiders who had always been friendly with them, who had always maintained trade relations with each other, who were of the same color, and who had a strong army. Therefore, they sent someone to invite Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Ye, commander of the San Francisco garrison, to their tribe.

“…… We need help. Some of the tribes around us were our enemies, some were not interested in fighting the whites, and the tribes that could help us didn't send many warriors, and our equipment was so poor. This young man with wolf eyes has a pair of bright and starve-like eyes, at this moment, his gaze is falling on the spear and command knife that Liang Wengeng pinned to his waist, if his gaze has temperature, Liang Wengeng's waist has been burned out of several big holes by the molten iron melted by the spear and the command knife.

"Bring those two POWs in." Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Ye raised his chin, and soon the two Westerners who had their hands tied behind him that Liang Wengeng saw on the balcony just now were pushed in by two Indian warriors.

"We are citizens of the United States of America, you cannot treat us like this, and I ask you to release us immediately." The beard on the face of the first man who was pushed in almost covered his mouth, his face was bruised and swollen several times, and he could only drag forward on one foot, but his gaze was still so arrogant, and as soon as he entered the door, he roared loudly.

"This guy's name is McAllister, and the skinny guy in the back is called Strachan, and both of these guys belong to the American expedition." Zhu Ye crooked his mouth and introduced to that Liang Wengeng.

"Yankee again, expedition again?" The corners of Liang Wengeng's eyes twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes were vicious and fierce.

Zhu Ye also smiled coldly: "That's right, a group of American robbers under the banner of the expedition team are just a group of strong thieves, and some of the trophies they have looted along the way have been found on their bodies, and these mongrels don't know how many Indian tribes they have attacked." ”

"What if we don't release you?" Liang Wengeng smiled, the smile twitched on his face covered with scars and scars, looking so terrifying, coupled with his white and neat teeth, McAllister, who had been holding on, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
