Chapter 18: Bargging

Patton, including Brigadier General Scott, were fanatical westward expanders in the army, and in their eyes, the West should be in the hands of the great Americans, and the ignorant Indians should be swept into the garbage can.

And the Indians' demand to be bounded by the Mississippi River is undoubtedly a slap in the face, and in their opinion, this is a naked plunder, which must not be tolerated.

As a soldier, it is incumbent on him to defend his family and the country, and since the other party provokes him, he will not hesitate to fight.

But immediately Barton was dumbfounded, and when he rolled out his most capable cannon musket and was about to make a big fight, countless human heads suddenly appeared on the top of the hill that was quiet just now.

"Driving the big carriage, my heart is so happy, over the hill, through the green meadow, the whip is chirping, the horse does not stop, the cart is fast, rushing forward...", a song that should have been relaxed and bright and should have appeared in the mouth of a leisurely farmer, but now roared out by a group of ragged men, but at this moment it seems infinitely sad and desolate.

"They... They are our own people," the American soldier, who had just picked up his gun and was about to shoot, suddenly screamed.

"Don't... Don't shoot, it's our soldiers, don't shoot," the officers hurriedly ordered their men.

"Damn Indians," Barton scolded hatefully, "hooligans, bandits, scumbags, bastards." ”

He searched for almost all the most vicious words to curse the Indians, but he still felt extremely incomprehensible, and kicked his leg viciously, but he did not want to hit a stubborn stone, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"Cunning Indians, withdraw, withdraw." Barton roared through gritted teeth.

As much as Patton was eager to raze the mountain in front of him, he knew that if he gave the order to shoot, the saliva of the American people would squirt him to death.

In this land of freedom and human rights, the lives of white people who have fled from Europe with all their might are paramount. Because, whether it is black or Indian, they are all outliers in their eyes, and only the same white people allow them to guarantee their security as much as possible. It is also a source of their strong self-confidence.

However, the United States at this time is obviously an eventful time.

When Washington and others began to build the country, the United States was poor and white, and in desperation, it had no choice but to appoint Hamilton, Rothschild's spokesman for the United States, who controlled the economic lifeline of the entire Europe, as the first secretary of finance.

However, after the end of the 20-year contract period, due to the outbreak of the Anglo-American War, the government's finances were in shambles, and in order to continue the war, the Second Bank had to be established.

But when Andre Roux became president, he told the mercenary bankers, "You are a bunch of poisonous snakes." I intend to uproot you, and in the name of God, I will definitely uproot you. If the people knew even how unjust our monetary and banking systems were, there would be a revolution before dawn tomorrow. ”

Jackson went to great lengths to abolish private banks and pay off all the national debt for the first time in American history. This also led to his inexplicable assassination.

But when the bankers' Second Bank extension was vetoed, the chairman of the Second Bank, Biddle, also began a veto against the president. They announced a recall of all loans, a halt to the issuance of all new loans, and the Rothschilds tightened their monetary policy against the United States. The United States, which was confident in building a new life, fell into a situation of artificially declining money circulation, which eventually led to the "1837 Panic," in which the American economy entered a state of full-scale depression, with unprecedented destructive power, and it was not until 1842 that it recovered slightly.

And this is not even worse, abolitionism and slavery-owning in the country are competing on all fronts. The scene of the Indian emergence on the west bank of the Mississippi River has undoubtedly brought more uncontrollable factors to the chaotic American politics and economy.

The current economic situation of the United States no longer allows them to fight another big war. Unless this war can bring them enough rewards to offset the attrition of the war, but, through the short confrontation yesterday, Patton understands that this is no longer something that his little captain can decide, and even Scott, who is a brigadier general, cannot decide this matter, and the news quickly reached Washington. Washington finally put an end to the argument and soon sent plenipotentiary Henry Brown. Clay.

After the United States welcomed its own war hero, Harrison, as president, he lost his life to an inexplicable cold in a speech a month after his inauguration, and the struggle over the private central bank and the independent fiscal system did not stop because of his death.

Henry. In 1841, Clay's Whig Party twice called for the restoration of the central bank and the abolition of an independent fiscal system, only to be replaced twice by President Harrison's successor, former Vice President John Brown. Taylor vetoed. Annoyed and angry, Henry. Clay ordered President John Clay to be replaced. Taylor expelled the Whigs, while Henry. Clay continued to use his position as the leader of his party to swagger and influence the overall situation in the United States.

And the demands of the Indians undoubtedly poured cold water on the American economy, which had just come out of the predicament, Henry. Clay saw an opportunity to regain control of himself.

"Food, horses, cattle and sheep, pig iron, but only half, although they can only make iron axes and blades, but too many of those things are also an annoying problem. The prisoners of war must all be returned, and as for the land west of the Mississippi River, don't even think about it, it was bought from the French, sacred territory of the Americans. "Henry. As soon as Créf arrived, he immediately put on his own terms.

Jokes, if you don't sprinkle a lot of money, how can the government think of borrowing money from private individuals, and how can private banks be established. Just as if we do not raise a large number of real estate, sell a lot of land, and print a lot of money, how can it be possible to make a small number of people rich first, so that friends can easily enter our livelihood industry? So that the friendly countries are more at ease with us, so that they believe in our sincerity, we will not be their enemies!

In fact, as Rothschild's spokesman in the United States, Henry . Clay did not have any concept of the state at all, and the interests of all the bankers, represented by Rothschild, were based on their own interests.

However, the territory of the country could not be given up under any circumstances, and if the territory of the west was abandoned, the slave holders of the south would not have made a fuss in Congress.

"Hehe," the profiteer Liu Shijie smiled lightly, "It's funny, Louisiana you bought it with the French?" And where did the French come from? It was taken from us Indians, not only Louisiana, but all the land east of the Mississippi River, and even the land under your feet, which belonged to us Indians, and where our ancestors lived for generations, when did it become yours? Then, according to your logic, are we going to call on all the Indians to unite and drive you all out to sea to feed the fish? ”

Liu Shijie was bored playing with a delicate little pistol, this is a small pistol that Henry has never seen before, its small size almost made Henry, who had just entered the conference room, ignore its existence, but Liu Shijie's mysterious smile made Henry really worried that he would shoot suddenly.

If Liu Shijie had said such things before, Henry would definitely have disdained it, but after listening to Patton, James and others depict the toughness of the Indians, he had to doubt himself. Are these crazy Indians really going to drive themselves out into the sea? So, where else can immigrants who already have millions of immigrants on the continental United States go? Going to the UK mainland? They have already made a clear cut from their home country, and they have met each other in arms, where is their way back.

"As a matter of our sincerity, we can release five hundred prisoners of war first, and as your sincerity, you will send the horses over first?" Liu Shijie continued to look at Henry playfully. "We're not in a hurry, you can ask the adults behind you first, oh, the current president is not Harrison, it's Taylor, right, it seems like you're busy with the Second Bank? In that case, maybe we can help you accomplish what President Harrison didn't accomplish. ”

Henry's heart couldn't help but tighten, and cold sweat seemed to be about to trickle down, as long as a few people knew about Harrison's secret execution against his will, as long as a few people knew, how did this hateful yellow-skinned monkey know, and how much did he know how much he still knew.

But it seems that Henry has no other choice than to agree to the other party's conditions. Because when Henry first arrived, I don't know how many representatives of the families of the prisoners of war approached them and strongly expressed their desire to oppose the war, and if these prisoners of war had any more losses because of their own work mistakes, I was afraid that those people would tear him apart.

But after receiving these five hundred prisoners of war, Henry was so angry that he almost overturned the entire conference room: "Liars, you are all liars, look at what you have done to our young men, have you tortured them to the point that they are still human?" ”

A group of half-dead, old and weak American prisoners of war, who seemed to be able to be hit by a gust of wind, almost made Americans, including Henry, angry.

"Huh, quiet, keep quiet, Henry. Mr. Clay. Liu Shijie pretended to approach him mysteriously, "Don't say that these are not Americans, if you don't want it, I can take it back immediately." ”

Then smiled mysteriously: "Actually, they are very lucky, they can have food to eat, to survive, it is already our biggest concession, think of the thousands of our compatriots who have been scalped, we are still angry." ”

Henry. Clay shuddered immediately, as if sensing a sharp knife slashing at his thigh.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Henry, it doesn't matter to you, as long as the money in your Swiss bank account keeps rising, these people have nothing to do with you, do you?"

"You... You talk nonsense. Henry found that he could no longer do it himself, and with great effort he lowered his voice and shouted, "Say, what do you want?" ”

"Do I have any nonsense, if you have time, just ask Mr. Hamilton, hehe, I heard that he was born in the West Indies, but I just don't understand, why did he make up a false identity and blend into the upper class of New York society. Don't say you really don't know that. After a pause, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "It seems that you and Mr. Hamilton are still very acquainted?" ”

This time, Henry's face turned completely white, and he said helplessly: "You, what do you want?" ”

"We don't want anything, we just want our stuff back. We don't want to talk about the whole American continent, we want to have a place west of the Mississippi River, so that our people can have a place to live. In fact, you have already made a lot of money, the west is a plateau desert, and the east is a fertile plain suitable for cultivation and development. ”

"I, I'm going back to ask for instructions," Henry finally found himself completely broken, and he, who had always been calm, sat down on the sofa with a gaffe, his eyes dazed and didn't know where to look.

"Well," Henry finally let out a long sigh, recalling the yellow man's meaningful eyes just now, "it's time to ask the people above, damn it, I didn't expect this group of Indians to be so difficult." ”

"We don't care, we can wait slowly, but your American fighters are still waiting for your news. Don't you want them to wait too long? Liu Shijie shrugged his shoulders easily and floated away in a dashing manner.

But the following month, Henry. Clay was overwhelmed by the news coming from all directions.

First of all, the Kansas settlement, the closest to the Indian settlement, a group of shiny black men armed with muskets broke into the white people's estates, announced the receipt of all the farms and land in Kansas, and set out to drive all the whites away.

After nearly three months of almost devilish training, and the replenishment of food captured from Little Rock, the black man, who had been yellow-faced and thin, had now become lean, strong, and brave. Coupled with Sun Zhengguang's devilish training, the black army has become the most combat-effective unit west of the Mississippi River except for the crossing.

The black slaves promised that as long as they took Kansas, they would use this land as a settlement for blacks in the future, and the blacks finally had their own homes on the American continent, and when they heard the news, all the blacks couldn't believe it. But when they stood on the land and touched the trees, houses, manors and rivers, they really felt that this would be their home from now on.

And the profiteer Liu Shijie according to the "root" told about the black people, but also resonated with all the black slaves, they deeply feel that since they came to this land, only this group of magical yellow-skinned angels are the ones who really respect them, understand them, and really treat them well, their present and future are given by the angels, and if they want to live in this land, only those who follow this group of people have a future.

And what happened to Quinta touched the weakest part of their souls, they took Quinta as their own incarnation, and after a small reminder through the crowd, they unanimously named this future city Quinta City, and the black slave leader Bell will become the first mayor of this blank city, although the black people will still follow the angels to fight around, but this land will be left to their disabled old and weak women and children to take care of, and when it is rumored that someone recruited black slaves in the north, there are many black slaves from New Orleans and other placesThey fled to the place at the risk of their lives, and even brought their wives and children with them, but after driving away thousands of white farm owners and their servants, the place where the two hundred or so black people lived was still empty.

Because of the escape of the black slaves, Henry. Clay was unanimously condemned by the Southern slave owners, who demanded that he settle the question of the belonging of the Indians as soon as possible and end the fighting as soon as possible.

But it's clearly not the most troublesome thing for Henry to Clay.

A group of unidentified men broke into the city of Memphis, robbed millions of dollars worth of grain, cloth and pig iron, and thousands of livestock, and the bodies of dozens of rebellious whites hung on trees outside the city, and the bloody scene scared the residents of Memphis for many days.

What's more, at the gate of the Capitol in the capital Wharton, when the lawmakers rushed early in the morning to continue another day of bickering, they suddenly felt the ground shake violently, and then broken wood chips, broken bricks, and even some broken limbs and broken arms were flying around.

The loud explosion completely ruined the mood of the Washington residents in the early morning. Although only a dozen people were killed or injured because the explosion occurred in the morning, it brought a purgatory-like feeling to Washington residents who had long been accustomed to being on the ground.

All kinds of tragic phenomena have repeatedly pierced the nerves of Americans, and these injuries that they once had suffered from others have now happened to them so really, and their hearts began to feel a chill and tremble.

"Peace, not war," has become the voice of the vast majority of Americans.

"Bounded by the Mississippi River? A divided United States is more conducive to peace and stability in the Americas and to the long-term development of the collective. Henry, who had been anxiously waiting for instructions from Europe, finally received an affirmative answer.

"Strike, strike, promise them, except that the territory resolutely cannot agree, promise them all the supplies they demand, as long as they can lay down their arms, stop the war, and release all prisoners of war." In desperation, Congress finally made a unanimous decision.

Compensation for war losses, shelving disputes over land issues, and joint development, the two sides finally reached a tentative agreement on some tacit grounds.

The city of Tokyo began to boil completely, for the first time, for the first time, proud Americans bowed their heads tame before their Indians.
