In fact, the reason why Li Mengyang looked for Geronimo was to use the power of the Indians. When we were working together, Li Mengyang had heard the story of Geronimo, a group of Apache people who used to live as herds in Mexico.

You know, the current situation is that the New Tang Empire of the United States can send troops to the eastern land of Mexico, and it is not difficult to defeat the French, Mexicans, and even the power of the United States.

The difficulty is that the empire is not a local, and they are not familiar with the local Inca hybrids, Spaniards.

Well, this requires a force that is familiar with the local situation, the Apache of Jeronimo, and they fit exactly that.

The original Mexico is the homeland of the Apache people, they went back, rightfully and, most importantly, they are still a force!

Now in Mexico, there are already two forces, the French army, the Juarez regime, so isn't it interesting to add an Indian?

Three Kingdoms!

However, looking at it now, this guy Jeronimo has learned smartly, he is much stronger than before, and he knows the importance of silver, hey~

Honest people change......

So, is the price paid by Li Mengyang too great? To give the Indians the right to silver mines?

Let's just take this matter, in fact, there is a deviation in understanding.

How so?

What's the situation now?

The current situation is that the silver mines in Mexico have nothing to do with Li Mengyang, the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty Empire in the United States!

That's right, and there were no troops or wars, so could the silver mine be surnamed Li?

In other words, what Li Mengyang is doing now is using other people's things as gifts and borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Then Jerónimo agreed, this is also normal, Jerónimo knows it very well. The thing in the world is that any return needs a price, so now let's talk about the return, that is, how to divide the spoils. As for the future, at least it will really return to Mexico, and it won't be a loss!

You see, you see, this is going to fool people...... Li Mengyang's means are really high. It's really high!

However, in this way, the Indians will send troops, but the reality is just as Jeronimo said, I'm afraid there won't be too many people, of course, with that silver mine as bait, it should be much stronger. However, Li Mengyang knew very well that the Indians were too scattered. Their low combat effectiveness is mainly due to this, so in addition to providing weapon support, we must at least train it.

Training, as far as the Indians are concerned, it is estimated that it will not be possible for a few months, but in a hurry, Li Mengyang himself set a time, at most half a year.

Yes, it's too late to grind it any more!

As for, this half-year...... Li Mengyang also planned it. I won't stay on the front line for the time being, because now the front line from Yuma Town to La Paz, Baja California, will be in a defensive posture, that is, there will be no fighting. So what are you doing here?

Moreover, Li Mengyang also made some personnel deployments, the most important thing was to promote Yang Willy to major and let him be in charge of the defense of Yuma Town, but in fact. This appointment is very meaningful, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that this Yang Willy should actually be in charge of this line of defense between the entire empire and Mexico!

The reason is very simple, the emperors of the empire have gone back temporarily, so there is no need for other generals to stay here, the reason why this is the case is mainly because this land is not able to withstand so many people now, and it still needs to be built.

That's right, what is needed is the Production and Construction Corps!

The diversion of water in Mexigalle, the reclamation of La Paz, the reclamation of Tijuana...... Anyway, we need further transformation, this Baja California can be stationed in a large army, otherwise the cost will be too high.

The security of the border should not be too much to worry about now, because the French army fought was very painful before the victory in Yuma Town, and they wanted to organize another attack like that, which is estimated to be impossible to do in a year or two, and the French army is an expedition, and it is very difficult for them to replenish their troops.

So, in this way, it seems that Mexico is taking a break, but in fact, there is indeed a turbulent undercurrent.

On the one hand, the empire is ready to play tricks, and on the other hand, France is ready to make a big move.

I guess it will be at least half a year or a year......

After the year 1864, some major events happened in countries around the world.

The Manchu Qing in the East had basically completely exterminated the Taiping Rebellion at this time, and because of the number of unequal treaties signed with the Western powers in Tianjin, the Manchu government felt that it was ...... What a shame!

You must know that before this, that is, before these treaties of the Heavenly Empire, the Manchu Qing Dynasty always believed that its status as the superior state of the Celestial Empire was undoubted, and there was no need for others to agree to it, but those treaties signed with various countries were basically all in them, so that the other party could recognize itself as a great power, such a thing.

To put it bluntly, the country's self-confidence is being lost!

So, a Westernization movement began, Li Mengyang knew very well that in the original history, the next thirty years would be a return to the Manchu regime, and many firsts in Chinese history would appear in this period, but this ...... There are a lot of really weird ones, such as famous steel mills, arsenals and so on.

This is the case in the East, and then if you look at it from the perspective of the world, it is particularly interesting, because in Europe, to be exact, at the junction of Asia and Europe, there is also a big country, a country that used to be very, very good, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, like the Manchus, is also undergoing reforms!

Li Mengyang is not familiar with this period of history, and it should be said that in terms of domestic historical research, there is almost no mention of the history of the Ottoman empire, especially in the current period, the various reforms made by the Ottoman Empire.

Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, almost the two countries were exactly the same, both experienced glory, and then declined, and as a last resort, they were reformed.

If we want to say that our China is in decline, then we have the disadvantage of 'not seeing', but the Ottomans, they are in Europe, they saw the industrial revolution, but in the end they still declined, and now they are called, 'The Sick Man of Europe'!

See. The nicknames are all the same.

There are too many specific details, but the reason why Li Mengyang can pay attention to this Ottoman reform now. On the one hand, because of the previous Crimean War, and on the other hand, that all of Europe and even the United States are actually watching the reform of this huge empire!

Yes, everyone is not stupid, they are all watching. They don't want to see the excitement, they want to learn from the experience, maybe they can use it. In addition, this reform is quite interesting, in fact, the whole of Europe is involved, such as the current Ottoman bank, which has Jews and British...... There are very few Turks.

Anyway, Li Mengyang knows the ending, but this process. There's nothing wrong with him paying attention. Anyway, he doesn't fight now, of course, this guy still has a lot of things to do in terms of internal affairs.

Establish schools, develop industry, develop science and technology, develop weapons, and develop ......

There are very, very many things, and the reason why Li Mengyang can't stay in Yuma Town for a long time also has something to do with this, but now. There is an important thing to bring up.

"Gentlemen! Our empire is going to build a railroad! ”

This is Li Mengyang in a hurry to hold a conference for all the merchants of the empire, such as Lelan. Stanford, like Huang San, of course. Bill, the head of the Treasury Department, also came......

"This ......"

"The Empire wants to build a railway, what are you looking for us to do?"

"Yes, yes!"

As soon as they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to build a railway, the merchants all started talking.

That's right, now in the New Tang Empire of the United States, although commerce is still popular, many big projects. That's what the state is doing, that is, what the emperor is doing, such as steelmaking, such as agriculture...... The merchants just sell, or produce small, oh, by the way, light industry.

To put it simply, these areas are not open to private capital.

The railroad is definitely a big deal, and many countries are building it in the name of the country and the royal family, especially this thing, which is really about sovereignty, because this thing occupies the land.

However, the United States is a strange country, and most of the railroads in the United States were built by wealthy people, such as Vanderbilt, such as the Forbes family...... They all have money, of course, it's not that the state hasn't repaired it, and there are state-run ones, but it doesn't seem to be much.

In fact, this has something to do with the original form of government in the United States, the original US government has relatively little power, and the main thing is to compromise, so how can the country have the strength to build railways? The Buchanan government still owes more than $60 million in foreign debt.

Therefore, when the merchants heard that the emperor of the empire was also going to build a railway, there was a door here!

There is a chance, an absolute business opportunity!

Sure enough, I only heard Li Mengyang say: "Because the empire is in ruins, many places need money, and the empire is still using troops abroad, and it is still ...... Anyway, there are too many things to do, and the finances are tightening, so I naturally hope that you can do your part at this time. ”

As soon as they heard this, the businessmen all shrank their heads a little!

In fact, with what happened in New York, the revolutionary army dealt a hard blow to these capitalists, but then it was not bad, Li Mengyang, the emperor, still protected personal property, which gave hope to the merchants.

However, listening to the words of the emperor's majesty, is this the state running out of money? Then your country has no money, and you let us invest?

At this time, Li Mengyang glanced at Lelan present without a trace. Stanford.

"Ahem...... Stanford coughed, "Your Majesty the Emperor is a heart-to-heart with us!" Comrades! I think we should have the money to contribute and the power to contribute. But I have to ask, however, whether the construction of railroads in our empire this time is as the policy of the American Federation? ”

Commonwealth of America? What is that policy?

Simple, the railway is built, and the nearby land is owned by the railway company!

And what about the Empire?

Li Mengyang laughed at that time, only to hear him say: "Of course...... No way! ”

I'm panting in the middle! (To be continued.) )
