Chapter 183: Yuma Town

In September 1863, the sun was still shining in southern California, and although it was already autumn, was there autumn in this place?

Yuma Town was originally a small place, but after the Mexican-American War, it became important.

Because this place is the border between the United States and Mexico, and this place is also blessed, the scenery is very good, and the water resources are very abundant!

When you think of Mexico, that's basically what comes to people's minds.

Yellow sand, next door, cactus, big Mexican hat......

And this place is not like this, although it is very close to Mexico, but it is green, this town is very special, to the northwest, it is a desert, and to the south, it is still a desert, to the east, it is the New Mexico quasi-state, or a desert, this place is good, green.

This is because the Colorado River flows through here, and there is an unknown river flowing into the desert from here, intermittently, so the town of Yuma is blessed with a unique town on the U.S.-Mexico border!

However, that's all history, after Li Mengyang led the ** army to conquer California, this Yuma town was later taken by Okashi, which marked the complete liberation of California, so Yuma Town became the border town of the New Tang Empire in the United States!

On this day, a group of people came to the west of the border town, and these individuals had a red flag in front of them, a big yellow star on it, and some words were written, and they were dressed neatly in green clothes, which was ...... Uniform?!

"Who?"

"Changing forces from Los Angeles! The new Third Army, the Eighth Division, and the 35th Regiment have three battalions and one company! ”

"Password!"

Naturally, the group was stopped by the guards of Yuma Town, but after confirmation, they were indeed troops from Los Angeles.

If you want to get from Los Angeles to Yumatown, you have to go south to the U.S.-Mexico border and then to the east, or you're going to climb the mountains and cross the desert.

"Hello comrades!"

"Hello Chief!"

"I'm Lieutenant Ahern, and now the supreme governor of Yuma Town, my brothers all listen to me, haha, by the way, I see that many of the new comrades are Chinese, do you understand what I say?"

Naturally, the team of guards had to be inspected by the governor of Yuma Town, and this person named Ahern was only a lieutenant, which seemed to be a little inconsistent with the status of Yuma Town? However, can these Chinese who have changed their defense units understand it?

"Comrade Lieutenant, we all understand English!"

The person who replied was an officer, the head of the change of defense troops, his name was Song Yulong, a twenty-seven-year-old Chinese, who was originally a soldier in Panama, and he was naturally reluctant at first, but later saw that His Majesty the Emperor had laid down such a big place, and he really took California, so Song Yulong became a soldier with peace of mind.

"Good!" Lieutenant Ahern nodded, in fact, he had known about the change of guard in the early days, and he also knew who was coming.

After General Okassi took Yuma Town, only a month later, Yuma Town was telegraphed, which can be said to be very fast, so the relevant military orders have naturally arrived.

The new Third Army is actually a mixed army, this is a newly formed army, characterized by Chinese and California natives, you know, after San Francisco was beaten into ruins, many people lost their jobs, can't let them be so idle, right? If you're idle, something will happen!

And there are a lot of people, the emperor lent them money, that is, the American dollar, these individuals will use their labor to repay the money, but there will be those who can't pay it back, after all, the work must be limited, so what should these individuals do?

Being a soldier can be regarded as another form of repaying money, especially some of the previous proletarians, slaves, and hard laborers. And a large part of the Third Army is these individuals, and there are also Chinese workers, Chinese workers who have rioted before.

But these individuals can't get together casually, this has to be well divided, for example, isn't this Song Yulong belonging to the previous Chinese labor army, let him be the leader like this, and then assign him a deputy, that is, the Chinese workers in California, that is, who later participated in the riots.

This person is called Gao Zhenyu.

"Comrade Lieutenant! We also brought cultural instructors with us! Gao Zhenyu came out to speak at this time.

"Cultural faculty? Who is it? Let me see. Ahern's eyes were narrow, and he naturally understood that this position was to teach the old men in the Imperial Army to read and write, but you must know that his brothers were all from New York, and most of them were Irish, and there were Irish among the soldiers of the Third Army in front of him?

There are a few white people, but you must know that the Irish are all Catholics, and they do not deal with the local Protestants in the United States, and there have been many bloody incidents between the two sides before. That is, the Irish will listen to what the Protestants teach?

It's not those white people, it can't be those black people!

That said, the Irish are sometimes strange......

"Report! Cultural instructor of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 35th Regiment, Willy. Yang, salute Comrade Lieutenant! ”

Bang, a standing salute and a young man stood up, but this person ...... It's Chinese!

Although the name is Willy. Yang, but he is obviously a yellow-skinned Chinese, which makes Lieutenant Ahern a little strange, because a Chinese, it is good to be able to listen and listen to English these years, but can they teach the Irish to read and write?

Our Irish accent is very unique!

So, although Ai Heng didn't say anything, his expression was a little disdainful.

That Song Yulong often dealt with white people, so he was more good at looking at their colors, so he immediately said: "Comrade Lieutenant, do you know, our Comrade Yang Weili, that is amazing, is from England, he grew up in England since he was a child, so there is no problem with this English or something." ”

"Oh?" Ahern's face changed slightly, but, "Does he understand our Irish accent?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Willy spoke, "Don't I understand it now?" Moreover, there are some strange pronunciations, such as 'tree' and 'three', which you pronounce very strangely, and that's it. ”

"You!" Na Ahern's face turned red, he was angry.

Yang Willie is right, the Irish accent is such a characteristic, as if the mouth is a little leaky, so, TREE and THREE, stupid and unclear, but it's not too difficult, there are still a lot of Irish people in the UK.

"Alright, alright!" When Song Yulong saw this situation, he naturally wanted to come out to play a round, "Comrade Lieutenant, we are coming back, not only to change guards, but also to bring a new weapon, which is ...... invented by Li Mengyang and His Majesty."

As a result, Li Mengyang was really good at mentioning this, and before Song Yulong finished speaking, Ai Heng and the Irish soldiers over there immediately ......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

This one......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

Not to be outdone, the Third Army is not to be outdone!

Seeing this scene, Yang Willy had a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, to be honest, he really felt that a person was worshiped to this point, it was indeed funny, but that Emperor Xià also seemed to really have the ability......

It's okay, let's start with the creeps first!

A company of the Third Army came to change the guard, so a company only has more than 100 people, which is obviously impossible to replace all the soldiers in Yuma Town, which is why it is now said that it is a lieutenant.

Yes, the former Supreme Governor of Yuma, Captain O'Brien, led a company to return to San Francisco.

On the one hand, this is a normal change of guard, and on the other hand, the current time is September 1863, that is to say, the American New Tang Empire has been established for a year, so there must be a National Day ceremony.

That's what O'Brien actually did, and it was also a debriefing, so let's kill more than one stone.

However, after such a small episode, the troops of the Third Army were stationed, and as for whether they could get along with the original Irish troops, that is, the guys of the First Army, it would have to be seen.

The third battalion and the first company of the 35th Regiment of the Third Army were followed by several blacks, one of whom was the same James who had received American dollars to buy flour and then went to repair the public toilet.

There's no way, a black slave has no culture, and he doesn't know how to do any technical work, and then he can't look down on the general physical work, and he earns too little, and the small days of 30 American dollars a month are really nourishing.

So, as soon as James saw the recruitment, he simply became a soldier, but he really didn't expect that after arriving in the army, there would be someone to teach them lessons, which is new.

But in the middle of the night, James complained.

"Those bastards are going to bully!"

"That's it! Fuck we've been assigned to such a fucking place! "It's not just him, it's a lot of people.

The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 35th Regiment were talking in a heap at this time, because their current location was not in Yuma Town, but at the foot of a mountain west of Yuma Town, and their current task was to defend, but who to defend?

"There are a lot of wild beasts around Yuma Town, and we don't get tired of it, so you guys, new brothers, help and go to the west to garrison."

That's the reason Lieutenant Ahern gave after giving this order, and it's really funny.

If you are a whole person, just say it!

The Colorado River runs north-south here, that is to say, the east side of Yuma Town is the big river, and the defense there is naturally easier, and it is difficult for the Indians and Americans in the quasi-states of New Mexico to cross the river, and if the Mexicans fight, it should also come by land, that is, it is dangerous here in the west.

"Okay, soldiers, you should obey orders, we are not here to complain."

This was said by Yang Weili, at this time, Song Yulong and Gao Zhenyu didn't have any good words, but this ...... No wonder they are cultural teachers!

Yang Willy actually has an idea, if it comes, it will be safe, but it is just when he is leisurely.

"Huh~" Yang Willy seemed to see some bright lights flickering on the Colorado River in the distance...... R1152
