Chapter 155: Li Mengyang's soldiers are under the city of San Francisco!
San Francisco is already so lively, so what is Li Mengyang doing?
"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”
"Keep up!"
"Comrades! We have to get to San Francisco as fast as we can! We can't let go of those counter-revolutionaries! ”
On the mountain plains of California, a line of people took great strides, not really running, but they were also very fast.
What's going on? Wasn't the original revolutionary army advancing cautiously?
That's right, it was like this at first, and Li Mengyang also felt that it was good to take his time and not make mistakes, but it wasn't until he received the latest information a week ago.
Samuel. Captain Dupont asked his herald to send a message a week ago, which was naturally a small boat from the battleship at sea, which means that the news should be a little slow, but this information is still very important.
What are you talking about?
It's Samuel. When DuPont was looking for the enemy at sea, he found that many California ships were heading north, and he wanted to find an opponent, but it turned out that the other side did not have much idea of fighting. And DuPont accidentally took the initiative, but it turned out to intercept a ship transporting people.
All the people on the ship were hungry, and many of them had gold with them, but they had no food.
Li Mengyang immediately thought that this was probably his blockade operation!
Originally, Li Mengyang's plan was to blockade California and make California's supplies scarce, so as to cause civil strife in California and the collapse of California's internal economy.
But in general. This method takes time, and if you block the economy of a place, you always have to wait until the materials of the place are almost consumed.
Let's just talk about Li Mengyang's party history. Didn't a certain big organization often be blocked by the People's Party in the early days? But as a result, the big organization was really good, and people relied on various methods to get through these difficulties.
It's all true, and it's a positive thing. As a result, Li Mengyang felt that he was also using the blockade trick now, so the guys in California might not be as strong as the big organizations. But they can always survive for a while, right?
Empiricism.
But to be honest, Li Mengyang really can't be blamed for this empiricism. Because California is very powerful after all, who can't sum it up, how can they say that it can survive for a few months?
But I still overestimate the urine sex of these white people!
There were originally more than 300,000 people in California, and the food was suddenly stopped. That led to a series of rapid reactions.
First of all, who are these guys? Most of the gold diggers are gold diggers. Then the gold diggers have a problem, many of them are rich, and we Chinese call them local buns, or local tycoons, but such people have a characteristic.
Big spending! They'll quickly get used to being lavish!
And now, these rich guys need to save, isn't that...... From thrift to luxury. Is it difficult to make a difference from luxury?
Also, that's that California itself is messy, and it's always been messy. Li Mengyang knew about this, and this chaos accelerated the speed of economic collapse, those robbers used to pretend to be gold diggers, but they will quickly transform, and they will be lawless after transformation!
And so. Li Mengyang's blockade operation unexpectedly produced huge results in a very short period of time!
This was really unexpected by Li Mengyang. Otherwise, he would not have ordered his troops to advance slowly, cautiously and cautiously.
And now, Li Mengyang saw Samuel. The news that DuPont gave itself completely shows that California has fallen into the point it hopes, so why not seize this opportunity?
Therefore, Li Mengyang ordered his troops to forcibly march to San Francisco at the fastest speed a week ago!
So why not take a boat? Isn't there a ship? The boat is fast!
Yes, the ship does, and Samuel. DuPont also told Li Mengyang that the situation in the California Sea is much better than we expected, because there are no American warships at all.
Why not?
Anyway, I haven't encountered it now, and Captain DuPont also talked about his experience, that is, American warships would not have come to California in the first place.
If you look at the world map, or think about the problem from the perspective of Li Mengyang, a traverser, then the US warships, such as those cruising in the waters of China and island countries, can go back to California, California is the United States, and they come back directly from the Pacific Ocean, isn't it much closer?
But the reality is that people don't take this route!
Because at this time, there were no very good shipyards in California, and the warships needed to be repaired and improved, so they had to go to the east, which was the core of American industry.
If they cross the Pacific Ocean to California, then these warships are equivalent to not returning to the warehouse, they want to repair, or do some technical upgrades, and have to go to the east of the United States, so they will have to sail more than 10,000 nautical miles, through Cape Horn in South America, Cape Horn is said to be the most dangerous sea in the world, so, normally speaking, the commander of the warship will not do this unless he is stupid.
At this time, there was no canal in Panama, which led to such a situation, goods and people could pass, but ships could not pass.
Isn't that the case? How good is it to get straight on board?
Yes, the situation is good, but you want to get the revolutionary army on board, this ......
I can't go up!
The current coast of California, except for San Francisco is Los Angeles, just two large ports, Los Angeles is going to be counted, the natural conditions are good, as for the rest, no!
Then how can we transport more than 5,000 numbers of the revolutionary army? There are still a lot of baggage troops, as well as all kinds of supplies, how can they get up?
A herald is easy to do, just have a lifeboat, but just rely on such a lifeboat to transport so many people on the boat immediately? Isn't that? Without a deep-water dock, there is no way for a big ship to carry people.
And I can't go back to Los Angeles. It's been almost a month since I've been out of Los Angeles now, and then turn back?
So, now there is only one way. Forced march!
Li Mengyang once read some travel blogs in his later life, which wrote about some things in California, Los Angeles to San Francisco, if you take Highway 5, then in fact, there is not much time to drive, that is, more than five hours, a total of more than 600 kilometers.
But. What's on Highway 5 now?!
So far, Li Mengyang has estimated it himself. They've almost walked more than 800 kilometers!
It should be said that this speed is already very fast, and Li Mengyang has taken a big advantage, that is, he has materials in his hands. There was grain and grass, and all of these things were supposed to be sent to San Francisco and Sacramento.
But even then, it took more than a month......
"It's finally here! Hey? ”
Evening, September 2, 1862.
Li Mengyang led his revolutionary army of 5,000 people to the outside of San Francisco, but far away, he saw a large area of fire over the city!
"Report to Your Majesty!" The scout who had been released before came back, and I saw him sweating profusely, obviously with a heavy military situation.
"Speak quickly!" Li Mengyang also had this hunch, something must have happened.
"We found a couple of locals who said there was a big riot of Chinese workers yesterday. They're going to take San Francisco! ”
"This ......" Li Mengyang was excited, and he immediately realized that the seeds he had planted before had sprouted, and could even be said to have blossomed and borne fruit. Very good. You go to rest. ”
Li Mengyang sent the scout, and then he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted at his revolutionary army.
"Comrades! We're in San Francisco now! I know you're all tired! I know that after more than 800 kilometers of marching, you should be allowed to rest! But everyone saw it, right? The black smoke is from San Francisco, and the black smoke is actually our comrades welcoming us! Before that, I had already filmed comrades who came to California, and they did a good job of the tasks I gave them, so now! Comrades! Do you think we're going to take a break?! ”
Li Mengyang was asking. But it's just a rhetorical question.
That's right, San Francisco is in chaos right now. Moreover, there are your own comrades in it?
I haven't heard of this before, but this is Clint. What Li Majesty said!
"Comrades!" At this time, Liszt jumped out again, "Holy Clint . . . Li Majesty had already arranged a qiē a long time ago! This is our blessing! This is God's will! We can't fail God! I can't live up to the painstaking efforts of His Majesty the Emperor! Comrades! Let's grit our teeth again! Let's take another step! Let's pick up the steel guns again! We will definitely win! We're going to take California! all-hail-lee! ”
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
At this time, all the people were very tired, but all the people seemed to be hypnotized, they didn't know how to refute, they forgot to disagree, they only knew to listen to Clint. Lee's order!
"Forward!" Li Mengyang pulled out his saber and swung it forward!
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
5000 revolutionary army, there were Chinese, there were Irish, there were Americans, there were Dutch, there were whites and blacks...... They took firm steps and shouted majestic slogans, goals.
San francisco!
……
Ahhh
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
In San Francisco, it's like hell!
There are flames everywhere, there are fights everywhere, whites and Chinese have been twisted together, there are even blacks, and after the baptism of fire, in fact, they can't distinguish between black, white and yellow, everyone is almost the same.
It's just that the Chinese are already overdrawn, and their weapons are very poor, all of which make their offensive weak.
Most of the corpses lying on the ground are Chinese!
"What should I do?" Yang Guangren saw that the uprising he led was about to fail.
The casualties suffered by the Chinese are incalculable, and tens of thousands of people seem to be exhausted!
"I don't know what to do, but we can only fight!" Lin Xiaoyi's eyes are red now, but he knows that there is no way out.
Bang shot!
"! Fight! "Old Fog Wind is an idea, his marksmanship is not bad, he killed a foreign devil, and now he is loading there.
However, there are more foreign devils pouring in!
"Hey~" Seeing that things could not be done, Lin Xiaoyi seemed to have come to his senses.
But suddenly!
"The earth has sunk for hundreds of years, and the smoke is rolling and blood is flowing......"
This familiar and majestic song came from afar, and it was not singing alone! (To be continued)
