After sleeping soundly until dawn, he heard the sound outside, which woke up Richard, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the whole person shrank in the warm and soft brocade, and for the first time had the idea of not wanting to get up.

It is a large Spanish court-style curtain bed with four beautifully carved Roman wooden pillars around the bed, fringed draperies, a bullet-filled cowhide belt on the bedside table, and the rest of the bedroom furniture in a delicate and expensive Spanish style.

Richard lay on the bed for two or three minutes, and then he lifted the quilt and stood up, and saw that there were new clean and tidy clothes on the dresser, which must have been prepared by the maid.

He couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, and also showed a mouth full of snow-white teeth, this kind of life is really called life!

As long as there is a slight possibility

Richard also didn't want to wear old clothes soaked in sweat and sour smell every day, which was nothing short of torture.

These days, he has practiced the Five Tiger Broken Door Knife with a lot of exercise, and while his power has increased in a straight line, the few clothes on his body have become sour and can't be smelled.

Take it off at night and put it aside, these clothes can stand up with their legs, soaked with damp and dry, dry and damp sweat, hard.

It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty is a bunch of rough men, no one can understand Richard's ambivalence, and it is impossible for anyone to help him wash his clothes, all of them look like they are familiar with it.

Having said that, big guys are like this, stinky men, and it's not uncommon for clothes not to be washed for months.

Richard's bones are strong, with bee waist and ape arms, and his long body contains explosive power, his dorsal dilator muscles show an obvious inverted triangle shape, bundles of muscles looming, and his height has also increased, almost 1.85 meters.

He put on clean clothes, fully equipped with weapons around his waist and armpits, and a long-handled broadsword stuck diagonally behind his back, which was a tailor-made version of the weapon produced by the system - an enlarged and weighted version of the Tang knife.

The total length of this knife is 139 cm, the blade length is 105 cm, the blade width is 5.6 cm, and the blade thickness is 1.3 cm; The shank is 34 cm long. The full knife weighs 3.98 kilograms, which is almost as heavy as the three Tang knives combined.

This custom Tang knife has a thread on the handle, which can be connected to a 1.2-meter-long steel rod, and when connected, it is a long knife, and the lethality is amazing when fighting horses.

If the 1.2 meter steel rod is used alone, its tail has an eight-flute protrusion, which can be used as a steel bone or steel mace, causing serious damage to the enemy's heavy cavalry.

This kind of long knife is similar to the weapons used by the Central Asian nomadic Kugit lancers, who used two long-pole weapons of glaive knife + broad-bladed knife on horseback, which can be regarded as a partial restoration of history.

After the Mongol conquest, the nomads of the southern Russian region were the most affected, where such weapons evolved into a long-pole weapon called sovnya. Russian serf cavalry, they used this kind of long knife.

The long knife on Richard's back does not have such a wide blade, and the head is at a right angle, which can be chopped or stabbed, and with the blessing of his great power, it is very flexible to use.

strode out of the bedroom, and the four pretty little maids in the hall curtsy in unison, crisply saying; "The slave has seen the son."

"What time is it?"

"Back to Gongzi, it's 9:20 a.m., Manager Gai and Captain Dai have come over a few times, and the slaves and maids saw that Gongzi was sleeping soundly, so they stopped him and asked Gongzi to punish him."

"Oh, let them in if there's anything going on, don't stop them." Richard commanded, and when he saw a few pretty little maids looking a little aggrieved, he explained; "Mr. Gai, they are all people who know the severity, it doesn't matter, they won't come to bother, remember!"

"The slave knows." The four little maids replied in unison.

These 4 people are called Ah Zhen, Ah Qiao, Ah Hong and Ah Xiang, in fact, they are also pig flowers sold to San Francisco, the oldest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest Ah Xiang is only 13 years old.

When he grows up, he will either sell it or become a brothel and become the cash cow of the agreement.

They are all girls from poor families, and since they were targeted by the underworld forces of the Agreement Hall, they have crossed the ocean to come here, and their fate has long been out of their control.

The only way out

is to be able to be favored by the prince and accepted as a concubine, and may be able to get rid of the tragic fate of a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, and a little red lips and thousands of people.

So these 4 pretty girls spared no effort to serve Richard, breakfast was ready, put on the table, the hot porridge was kept warm with a cotton sleeve, and it was still hot at nine o'clock.

Richard looked at it, and the saliva glands began to secrete frantically, and there were delicate white flour meat buns, vegetable buns and siu mai on the table, a large bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, a few refreshing pickles, and a plate of fat sausage roasted tofu and a plate of leek scrambled eggs.

He hurriedly sat down and drank a sip of hot porridge, and in one gulp, he dried up half of the meat buns, put them in his mouth and chewed them deliciously, feeling that the taste was great.

Try the fat intestine roast tofu again, this dish has burned out all the oil and water of the fat intestine, the moist tofu is delicious, the heat of the fat intestine is also in place, a full mouthful is put in the mouth, and the chew is very satisfying.

A pot of porridge, 6 meat buns, three vegetable buns, three roasted wheat plus one meat and one vegetarian two dishes, Richard almost wiped it out, and then patted his stomach with satisfaction and said "cool".

Really, after coming to this world for more than two months, he only found the feeling of food in the afterlife today.

Seeing that Richard almost swept away the breakfast for 4 people, the pretty maid who was waiting next to him was already stunned, the son was so able to eat, he really couldn't see it!

"The food is really good, tell me, whose hand is this?" Richard asked with a smile on his face as he enjoyed a satisfying breakfast, in a good mood.

"Back to Gongzi's words, these meals are all made by Ah Qiao, Ah Qiao can cook a lot of dishes, and also make roast cured meat, ...... in the gang before" Ah Zhen is a clever maid, when she said this, she realized that she should not mention the people of the previous agreement, and her tone immediately became hesitant.

Richard turned his gaze to Ah Qiao's body, and saw that she was about 15 years old, with a white and dignified appearance, revealing a comfortable sunny girlish atmosphere, and her mind was simple.

So he nodded secretly, his expression became more and more kind, and said; "Sure enough, it's Miss Aqiao, what a pair of skillful hands, tonight I am going to invite a banquet to the meritorious people, and I hope that Miss Aqiao can make a banquet, and you can notify the manager to prepare as soon as necessary, I don't know if it's good?"

"Ah Qiao obeys the son's orders." Ah Qiao bowed and gave a salute, although he didn't say much, but he was full of confidence.

"Well, that's very good."

Richard nodded in satisfaction, not promising any benefits, he had to take a closer look.

Walking out of the small garden in the backyard, when Richard came to the front hall, there were already a few people sitting in the front hall drinking tea and discussing matters. "My subordinates will meet the president."

"No courtesy, let's sit down and talk."

Among these people are Gai Wangshan, He Daozhai, captain Dai Changfu, captain Liu Wu, captain of the cavalry Gao Shiheng, French instructor Mike Rabiot and others, which can be regarded as the current team of the Tang Society.

Among them

French instructor Mike Rabiot is not a member of the Tang Society for the time being, he is just a hired military instructor, who returns to Yerba Buena every day when the Grape Valley closes, and comes back the next morning to train the soldiers, and does not participate in the armed operation last night.

For these capable white people, Richard has always adhered to the principle of making the best use of things, and if Mike Rabiot takes the initiative to come closer, he will not mind reusing them.

After all, there are too few people under his command who can take charge of themselves, and they can't let go if they are talents.

After sitting down, seeing that Gai Wangshan and Dai Changfu were about to fight, Richard waved his hand and said unhurriedly; "Lao Gai, wait a minute, first listen to what is going on here in Changfu?"

"President, I have three things to report to you here."

Dai Changfu put his posture very right, he stood up, and said with his hands and fists in the courtesy of his subordinates;

"The first thing is that the president instructed to screen the backbone personnel of the agreement hall who have done a lot of evil, especially those who have forced good people to become prostitutes, and the people are very angry, in addition to the 17 people who were killed and injured last night, we have screened out 14 people, waiting for the president's fate.

The second thing, in addition, there are a total of 71 prisoners in custody, and there are basically no major evil deeds, so you can make them anyway, and I ask the chairman to make a decision.

The four brothels also have some big teapots that do a lot of evil, the bustards have been taken into custody, and the gambling stalls in the brothel have been suspended for the past three days, waiting for the president's clear indication before they can decide to stay.

The third thing was that at about eight o'clock in the morning, John the sheriff came to the door with some people who wanted to see you, and we stopped them.

But before he left, he said;

The San Francisco City Council can ignore the Chinese infighting, but in the future it must follow the rules of the new town, and the specific matters should be interviewed at the city hall at 2:00 p.m. sharp.

At that time, there will be big shots to receive Yunyun.

President, I'm worried that if there is no good feast, there will be no good feast, and these white landlords may be bad for you? ”

Richard did not rush to answer, but took a sip of the teacup, then put the cup on the table, and gently tapped the edge of the table with his slender fingers, and said with a thoughtful expression;

"Sheriff John is John Sutter's lackey, and it seems that our actions yesterday have upset some people, and it makes sense to want to put some strength on us to suppress us.

Mr. Mike, whether you would like to be the representative of Parkview Green or the representative of the Datang Society, I need your affirmative answer before I can consider the next step. ”

The meaning of his words is very clear, if Mr. Mike Rabiot is only willing to be a military instructor, he will not participate in the competition between the Tang Dynasty and the white forces.

Then, it is inconvenient for him to participate in the rest of the deliberations.

In the future, it must be made clear that only performing the duties of military instructors will be hired personnel and have nothing to do with the Datang Society.

Mike Rabiot, though gray, was burly and muscular, with a ruddy face, and replied after a moment's consideration; "May I ask you a question? Mr. President. ”

"Please."

"Are you willing to expend huge resources to form a cuirassier regiment?"

"Instructor Mike, you also know that this will cost a lot of money, so ...... I will definitely form the first cuirassier regiment in the western region of North America. ”

"OK, then I'm fine." Mr. Mike Rabiot laughed heartily, then stood up, respectfully removed the cowboy hat from his head, and bent over with his right arm flat on his chest; "Cavalry Lieutenant Officer Mike Rabiot is at your service, and it is a great honor to fight alongside you, honorable Mr. President, you are the finest gunsmith and knight I have ever met."

"Don't worry, Instructor Mike, you won't regret your decision today."

"President, I have no doubt about that." Speaking of this, Mike Rabiot raised his head, his eyes radiated a fiery light, and said word by word;

"It has been my lifelong wish to recreate the glorious cuirassiers, and it would be a great honour for the Rabiot family to be able to participate in the formation of this cavalry with their own hands.

My eldest son, George, and my second son, Embiid, were both qualified cavalrymen I had personally trained, and I had all my military skills taught to me, but there was no place for them in this damn west.

I ask you to let them join the team as well, and I am confident that these two children will not disappoint you. ”

"I agreed, there are other white cowboys who are willing to join the cavalry regiment, and the Datang Club is willing to accept them." Richard smiled and nodded, his tone very affirmative.

This made Gai Wangshan and the others who were sitting on the side look a little surprised, they hesitated for a moment and did not say anything.

Isn't the president of the Datang Association committed to protecting the Chinese immigrant ethnic group? Why do you want to recruit whites into armed horse teams? Isn't that a contradiction?

This kind of thing, it's better to communicate privately.

In fact, Richard called himself "the protector of the San Francisco Chinese gold prospectors", and the task of this title was about to be completed.

He is not willing to wear such a hat for the rest of his life, and in the next step, Richard will be ambitious to the title of "King of the Bay Area".

Once such a proposal spreads, I am afraid that it will be incompatible with white forces like John Sartre.

You're the "King of the Bay Area", so what am I?

Therefore, it is necessary to keep it secret for a short time, and wait until the wings are full.

Richard very much needed Chinese Americans as the basic base of the Tang Dynasty, but the Chinese population was too small, so he had to unite whites and even Mexicans, and the more friends the better.

John Sartre was opposed by many white people in San Francisco because of his brutal and domineering behavior, including Yerba Buenadi, and these white forces were the objects that Richard needed to unite.

Captain Richardson was a treacherous Englishman who had shown kindness more than ten days earlier, and had not been followed up.

The architect he promised did not see the shadow, and some of the material support he promised was almost not seen, and the British really deserved to be the king of the mouth cannon.

Even so

Richard still wants to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Parkview Green and work together to deal with the much more powerful John Sartre, and there is no need to take Parkview Green too seriously until he has shown his strength.

Today, Richard is convinced; The two sides will have a solid foundation for cooperation. ，
