Chapter 261: The Great Commander's Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Stone
Grant's plan was to conduct strict political censorship within the army and arrest and imprison all Indian sympathizers.
Commander Lincoln was noncommittal for the time being, but asked Grant to make a concrete plan for backup.
Because although Lincoln did not understand military affairs, he had an empirical instinct as a veteran Anglo-Saxon.
That is, he wondered, how many serious white people would sympathize with some bullshit Indians?
Is the leather boots not smelling good?
Or is it $100 that can't help but be spent?
And if you take 10,000 steps back, those Ming people are not Indians at all!
This is something that everyone knows by heart.
In the name of the lord of the Yin people, these emperors of the Ming people just want to deceive and steal the strong propaganda of the whole America!
But Grant's words gave Lincoln a flash of inspiration, and a plan for a million profits was slowly taking shape in his mind.
โฆโฆ
Shoshone is an ancient large confederation of Indians.
In Civilization 5, Shoshone is an optional civilization led by Pocatello.
Of course, as a civilization alongside China, Xiao Songni is really a pig's nose with green onions, and his virtue is not worthy.
But it is undeniable that in the battle against the white colonists, the Shoshone had moments of heroism and glory.
Twenty years ago, in Colorado and Utah, Pocatello led the Shoshone tribe in a protracted battle against the Mormons of Salt Lake City.
It wasn't until 1862, a year before Zhu Fugui came to North America, that the Second Volunteer Cavalry Regiment led by Captain Connor of the California National Guard set out from San Francisco and built a military base three miles east of Salt Lake City.
In the winter of the same year, Connor took advantage of food shortages to force the Shoshone to negotiate, during which he massacred the Shozoni on the grounds that they were "unable to restrain the soldiers".
This is known as the Bear River Massacre.
It is worth mentioning that when the Ming Dynasty conquered San Francisco before, it had already destroyed the military base in Salt Lake City.
Moreover, it was not Qi Wenchang's main force that participated in this operation, but Mo Bai's department, which was responsible for covering the flanks.
The Second Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, which was only more than 700 people, Mo Bai, who was the commander of the Third Brigade at the time, took it down with one charge.
The battle was boring and boring, just like most of the militia organizations called "volunteer regiments", which quickly dissolved under the Ming army.
Although it was Zhu Fugui's political deception that Zhu Fugui had to do at that time to regard the Yin people as a distant branch of China, to this day, the Ming Dynasty has indeed benefited a lot from gaining a foothold in North America.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has also issued a sea supplement order for the colonial dealer Connor and others, and the bounty is as high as 1,000 Ming Tongbao.
It's just that Zhu Fugui still doesn't know whether that Connor has a Fu Fa, after all, the characteristic of Mo Baibu is that there are no prisoners in this battle.
Connor most likely died in the chaos, which can be regarded as good luck.
However, there are gains and losses in everything.
Zhu Fugui regards himself as the king of the Yin people and the lord of the Americas, but in Lincoln's eyes, it is a huge flaw.
In any nation, there are good people and bad people.
This is the right nonsense.
In the same way, there will be warriors and cowards in any nation.
The same goes for Shoshone.
Historically, Shoshone was once a huge tribal confederation.
In fact, like the Sioux people, there were several huge tribal confederations on the land of North America, and they already had the rudiments of a state.
However, strange weather such as the extreme cold + blizzard in 2021 will always periodically shatter these prototypes, so that by the time the white people landed, the Indians could not organize an effective resistance.
The Shoshoshoni alliance consists of three teams: East Shosonny, West Shoshone, and North Shoshone.
The aforementioned Pocatello led none other than the martial Northern Shosonny.
After the Bear River Massacre, the few surviving Northern Shosons went north to join the Sioux Alliance, and in the intermittent time, some of them entered the Ming Foreign Legion, and even a few brave warriors joined the Ming nationality because of their military exploits.
The fate of the West Shoshone, who live in the coastal areas, is even worse, and their enthusiasm for gold in the early days has become a historical term.
Unlike the western and northern Shoshosone, the Eastern Shoshosone are considered by whites to be the representative of "civilization", "civilization" and "progress" among the Indians.
The chieftain of East Shosonny, Huasheki, maintained very friendly relations with the whites.
He married the woman to James, a white politician.
In 1851, at the suggestion of his son-in-law, he attended the Great Council at Fort Laramie, where he signed an agreement with the Americans to cooperate in hunting and camping in the Wind River area.
To this day, the Eastern Shoshone tribe, a model of domesticated barbarians, retains three million acres across the Mississippi River, about the size of a Tianjin reservation.
It's a pretty big piece of land.
No matter how barren it is, it is enough to feed more than 20,000 East Shosonny.
Not only did they try to learn the Western way of life, learn English, practice Yahism, keep black slaves, and even help the colonizers when they raised their butcher's knives against their western compatriots.
It can be said that these East Shoshosone people really want to be Americans.
However, it is like the Japanese Americans who were all imprisoned in concentration camps after the outbreak of the Pacific War......
When the Northwest "Indian" riots broke out, the first reaction of the local Bannock Indian Administration was to take the East Shoshone and disarm them.
Because such things happened during the Pocatello rebellion, the East Shossonians did not resist and were very obedient.
Anyway, in their opinion, the invincible rice people will once again quickly quell the rebellion, and those uncivilized guys are destined to turn into powder like clods under the wheels.
This time, however, things seem to be different.
When the deserters of the "New Crusade" who had been routed on the front line crossed the reservation, the people of Eastern Shoshone felt that the world was somewhat incomprehensible.
A few weeks later, the regular Federal Army entered the reservation with live ammunition.
Huasheki's son, the new Chief Austin, stepped forward and spoke fluent English: "Dear gentlemen, my brother-in-law is a member of the Senate of Missouri, and our tribe believes in God, has no quarrel with the world, and is the Lamb of God......"
The answer to him was a leather boot from Lieutenant Colonel Walter of the Mi Army.
The size 40 boot hit the opponent's chest, and Walter waved his hand, and the dense barrel of the gun pointed at the men, women and children of East Shosonny:
"Supreme directives from the White House, for failing to expose the conspiracy of your despicable kindred to the federal government in a timely manner, the East Shoshony Tribe will be stripped of the land on the reservation.
The Bannock Indian Administration will select a more suitable reserve for you to live on at a later date.
But before that, you will be in the Wellint concentration camp for an 'unforgettable' time! โ

"Emperor Ming, your people, the Dongsho Songni, have been arrested for treason.
In accordance with the Indian Liberty Ordinance, signed in 1787, we welcome you to Washington for negotiations.
As a liberal country governed by the rule of law, we will protect your rights as a defense and invite you to engage in open and transparent debate and dialogue with President Lincoln on the issue of armed conflict between your Department and the federal government. โ
Looking at the invitation letter from Washington in his hand, Zhu Fugui fell into deep thought......
This Lincoln, is it a brain watt?
Or does he think my brain is wat?
Why did I go to Washington, D.C., so I had to kill myself by being shot seven times in the back!?
After staring at the letter for a long time, Zhu Fugui only saw four big words: "Kill good and take credit!" โ
I'm afraid this Lincoln Commander is not too stupid, but very smart!
I'm afraid he doesn't think that there is no way to take Daming, and he is ready to use Dong Shoshone's head to give an explanation to the domestic voters, right?
And the 3 million acres of land on both sides of the Mississippi River in East Chaussonny, once returned to the federal government and sold to the federal government, are a huge fortune.
What's even more vicious is that externally, the Lincoln administration can still blame the Ming for the massacre.
Since your Ming Emperor claims to be the co-lord of the Yin people and the master of the Americas, but you don't care about your people, can you still escape this black cauldron?
At least, are you too embarrassed to continue to do this propaganda in the future?
After all, not everyone has the three-inch thick cheekiness of the BBC.
It's a three-bird solution!
Zhu Fugui couldn't help but gasp, this Lincoln's viciousness was so terrifying!
Zhu Fugui took out an intelligence document he had received earlier from the drawer, fanned the sweat that did not exist at the corner of his forehead, and at the same time pressed the button on the table where Xuanjin Yiwei commanded Yin Weasel to enter the hall.
And the title of the document in Zhu Fugui's hand is "White Hound Montreal Branch Related Information in February".
