Bang! Bang!

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Countless shells and bullets were pouring into the cornfields, but the soldiers of the Confederate and Confederate confederates were still marching in line with their commanders wielding sabers and blowing whistles.

And as long as the troops entered this cornfield, it was simply ......

"Those who were killed fell in rows where they were standing in the battle queue just now." These were the memories of General Hooke, and he trembled a little as he said these words.

There are dead people all over the place, and even whole clumps of people filling it in!

Perhaps this was not the first time in the Civil War, because at Newark, that Alfred . . . Wood did the same, but apparently that's how the generals fight now, so everyone is pretty much the same.

There are no machine guns on either side, which is really thankful to God, but the power of artillery and platoon guns has been perfectly demonstrated in this era, and it is difficult for anyone to get out of this cornfield with all their heads and tails.

The casualties were so quick that Stonewall Jackson had no choice but to send his last reserves shortly after the battle began.

John. Bel. General Hood!

This guy is not a good person, if Li Mengyang is here, then he will definitely feel a little sorry for this guy's subordinates, because they are all from the US military in Texas!

In other words, they are all veterans, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the gun formation they form is much stronger than those new soldiers, it is these guys who are fighting against the Indians, and the bullets they shoot are like the scythe of death. This is the evaluation of the Union soldiers. But.

When General Hood withdrew from the cornfields. He asked one of his subordinates, "What about your soldiers?" ”

"They're all dead there!"

Sixty percent of General Hood's men died in that cornfield, and they were all veterans, and the veterans were consumed like this, and I have to say, this is really sad.

In just one morning, more than 8,000 people fell in this cornfield, and the battle became known as the Battle of Antitam. Named after a small river, it is the same as the Battle of Manassas, also known as the Battle of the Bull River, but in this battle, the casualties of both the North and the South in such a day alone are extremely staggering.

According to the Northern Union, 2,108 people were killed and 10,293 were missing or wounded. Less Southern, Robert. Lee lost 10,318 people.

You know, this year's disappearance is just a pretty rhetoric. And being injured is almost synonymous with death, and there are too few who survive.

It was the bloodiest day of the Civil War. However, the war could have ended on this day, because as long as McClellan sent another force and chased it, then Robert . . . Lee's troops will be wiped out, you know, Robert. Lee only has more than 40,000 people in total, while McClellan has nearly 100,000 people.

But it's a pity that McClellan guy is probably scared to pee a long time ago.

The reason why it is so tragic and so numb, in fact, is one reason, that is, this is how the generals of this era fight, and now the weapons have become very advanced, the rifle can be hit very accurately, and even snipers have appeared.

But in any case, the Northern Army won a victory, and this also made Lincoln breathe a sigh of relief, and he took the opportunity to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, but you must know that this proclamation, only a declaration, has not yet taken effect, and in addition, in fact, only a few states have been mentioned, that is, most of the black slaves are still slaves.

But with the Civil War in the East so tragic, how could Lincoln be in the mood to care about California?

California, October 1, 1862.

The sun is still so bright, but after almost a month of reconstruction, the situation in California is slightly better, and if the house is destroyed, it will be more convenient to live in a tent first, and if the house is fine, it will be more convenient.

And now, the whole of California is stable, the economy is somewhat restored, and the order is good, at least the worrying hoarding phenomenon has not come out. Emperor Lee I's hard-line banknotes have been circulating in San Francisco and Sacramento.

Basically, the most important thing in California now is this area, so as long as this belt is done, then the banknote promoted by Li Mengyang will be considered a success, and then the next task is to nationalize the gold mine and not allow individuals to pan for gold.

This incident caused a lot of revolt before, that is, in late September!

Yes, it's resistance, so why are you all coming to California? Isn't it just gold panning? You, the emperor, won't let them get it, this ......

Indeed, there were some protests, and many people went to the streets to demonstrate, and even some of them were more violent, and they simply spoke with guns.

However, the one who used the gun was quickly suppressed, and Li Mengyang had expected the emergence of this phenomenon early on.

But though, what about the mildly protesting?

Li Mengyang really didn't suppress it, but there was an unexpected person who helped him.

Mark Twain!

Yes, it is the editor-in-chief of the "New York Evening News", who wrote a manuscript and used this manuscript to help Li Mengyang.

The gist of this manuscript is very simple, in fact, it is all kinds of disadvantages of gold panning!

Why is the gold rush still broken?

In fact, from the very beginning, there have been many opposition voices in the United States, especially religious people. You know, America is a Puritan world, what is a Puritans?

The meaning of their existence is to wait for God's judgment!

So what do you want so much gold for, such a puritan?

Yes, gold panning is actually against the teachings of the Puritans, and besides, gold panning really leads to a lot of social problems, such as California is prosperous, but there are too many such things such as robbery, forcible x, murder, etc.

And Mark Twain saw this, and he used his very sharp tone to denounce all kinds of bad gold panning, anyway......

This can be regarded as helping Li Mengyang once. But. Mark Twain, the editor-in-chief, does not have a very good relationship with Li Mengyang now.

Why is the relationship bad?

Just because Li Mengyang is the emperor!

Mark Twain was particularly opposed to Clint. Li called the emperor's. Particularly resolute!

It stands to reason that Mark Twain was really Clint. Li's old man, the relationship between the two of them was really good before, and the cooperation has always been very good, but when they arrived in Panama, when Li Mengyang was crowned, of course, that crown was thrown away by Li Mengyang. But that doesn't work!

You Clint. How could Lee be emperor? You are a symbol of the revolution!

Mark Twain really can't get around this bend, and he's at this point, you Clint. Lee's explanation is useless.

However, after arriving in California, Clint . . . Lee nationalized the gold mines and did not allow gold and silver to circulate, and Mark Twain thought that you had done a good job.

One yard to one yard. Mark Twain is still very principled, so. That's what he wrote.

Don't you say it, this article is really useful, because the source of this evil is not the gold rush in front of California's current situation.

So, the gold mine was taken down like this.

But truth be told, Mark Twain really wanted Clint. Li Neng didn't want to be the emperor, but it was October 1.

"People!" Li Mengyang stood on the high platform of the San Francisco City Government Square, with a piece of scripted speech.

Today's speech is very different, there are many stricts, and Li Mengyang is surrounded by a lot of big people, in addition to those officials, there are even Huang Rong, Yelena, and Fiona.

The most important thing is that Li Mengyang is wearing a gorgeous military uniform, which is much stronger than the one in Panama before, and the main style of this military uniform is still European, but this time there is not only a golden dragon, but there are also a lot of small decorations on it, such as the sun, moon and stars, auspicious clouds and auspicious bats, the most special thing is the button, which is the kind of gold buckle handed down in the Ming Dynasty, which is very luxurious, but it is still very low-key, and ordinary people do not understand, the key is that this thing also represents the Han family.

Anti-Qing and regain sight!

That's for sure, the design of this set of costumes is definitely with the participation of Yang Guangren.

Fancy costumes?

That's right, this is Li Mengyang's emperor's costume, but this time, we don't wear the same kind of clothes as before, in order to reflect the combination of the East and the West, so we use the military uniforms that are more popular in the West to make the basic type, and the emperors in Europe are like this.

So, yes, today is the day of the founding of the socialist democratic empire of the United States!

"It's been a long journey! Our revolutionary army fought all the way from New York and finally liberated this California! Honorable! ”

Li Mengyang just stopped slightly, and the audience shouted.

“all-hail-lee！”

“all-hail-lee！”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The revolutionary army came to come, and the Chinese shouted differently, but it was similar, and the Californians also shouted.

Li Mengyang pressed it with one hand, and then said: "I announce it here!" The Socialist Democratic Empire of America, now formed! ”

“all-hail-lee！”

“all-hail-lee！”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The mountains roared like a tsunami, and finally, the founding of the country!

Finally the statehood has been established!

Finally the statehood has been established!

After Li Mengyang finished speaking, his mood was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

I think that when I came to the United States, I was just a piglet, a half-grown boy with no stripes, and today, I am the emperor of a country!

Looking back, how many hardships and twists has Li Mengyang experienced? How many failures and setbacks have you experienced?

However, he didn't give up, didn't give up!

Finally, the day has come!

This day, it didn't come by itself! It's our guys spelling it out! It was fought out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses!

Thinking of this, Li Mengyang's eyes even had some red circles, but he was the emperor, he couldn't shed tears, even if he was crying now, it was also an expression of his true temperament, but he still ......

At this time, Huang Rong's sister's hand grabbed Li Mengyang's hand, and she whispered, "Brother Mengyang!" ”

"Girl." Li Mengyang really felt it......

As a result, another hand came, but not long after, another hand!

Hey, the emperor is in charge, and this harem has also been built...... (To be continued......)
