Alexander Madison, a cavalry officer in the U.S. Federal Army, who fought in the Lone Star State of Texas Independence Campaign, was much more militarily literate than the wildboy cowboys who couldn't read a single word, and he could see the seriousness of the problem at a glance.

This is a blocked door, what should I do?

Ultimately

Hewan Village is just a wooden village with an area of less than 0.5 acres, less than three acres of metric land, and only a walled gate in the direction facing the forest, which can accommodate three rides in parallel.

Blocked by 200 muskets, in essence dead.

Facing the French breastwork wall under the campfire, like an iron lock around the front of the gate, Alexander Madison felt a great threat, and for a moment he was helpless, not knowing what to do?

In the dark forest

Richard's sharp gaze looked in the direction of the camp in Hewan Village, although the night was dim, he could not clearly see who was peeping, but he could vaguely feel the strong hostility.

Superhuman psychic abilities gave Richard a beastly sixth sense, and the hidden kindness and malice in anyone's heart could not be hidden in front of him.

Richard withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, then whispered; "Go, little thing, give me a bite in the wooden fence."

The invisible tentacles conveyed a clear thought, and the dark shadows shook under Richard's feet, and several rabbit-sized animals quickly burrowed into the bushes and disappeared.

These are the beavers commonly found in several North American streams, with their powerful incisors that are good at gnawing at tree trunks as easily as chewing biscuits, and they are a few little ones that Richard is comfortable with.

His goal is to let the beavers play to their strengths, bite a big hole in the camp of Hewan Village, and let the wolves take advantage of the night to get in, launch a night attack, create chaos, and break through the camp in one fell swoop.

The situation today

It has been firmly in the hands of the Federation, with a superior force of nearly 400 people, firmly blocking Hewan Village, and the people inside are unable to fly.

In fact

This boiled duck can't fly anymore, and it can't make any big waves, it depends on when Richard eats it and how he destroys the enemy?

After setting up camp in the evening, William Richardson, the president, and Ronald Evenson, the vice president, found Richard in private, and the three of them had a secret discussion in the tent for more than an hour.

William Richardson represented the pro-British Yerba Caodi, and the British explorer Ronald Evenson represented London, and frankly negotiated with Richard, who represented the Chinese forces of the Tang Dynasty, and made a hole card.

their purpose;

It is to establish pro-British forces in the province of Upper California, to thwart the ambitious process of American expansion, and preferably to establish an independent state, which will be recognized by Britain and Europe at the first time, and will receive material and diplomatic help from Europe.

In order to achieve the above goals, Fangcaodi is difficult to support alone, and it is inseparable from the strong support of the Chinese forces of the Datang Society.

Early April

Due to the rapid deterioration of the situation in North America, Ronald Evenson realized;

We must openly and honestly confess to Richard, the leader of the Datang Society, and work closely with the Datang Society to twist the forces of the two sides into a rope, so that it is possible to resist the upcoming military attack of the United States.

It was at stake for Britain in North America, and from such a high strategic point of view;

Whether it is Chinese, British or French white, we must put aside our existing prejudices and estrangements and cooperate sincerely, so that it is possible to drag down the pace of the ambitious expansion of the United States, support Mexico and the United States from the flank, and create more trouble for the Yankees.

This secret conversation completely changed Richard's entire development plan, and while he was under great pressure, he smelled a strong sense of crisis.

Time is of the essence, and the Alexander Madison gang must be eliminated as soon as possible, and the next step is to remove the huge stumbling block of John Sutter and develop it at an extraordinary rate to be able to deal with the serious military threat from the United States.

After the three parties agreed, Richard made his own demands;

London must provide strong and substantial support, both in terms of migration and supplies.

material;

In addition to the large quantities of production and living materials purchased (including two steel ships and textile machinery), London should support no less than 8,000 people with a full set of weapons and equipment, including military uniforms, tents, guns and ammunition, blankets, leather boots and water bottles, etc., as well as stocks and corresponding military training.

As the war develops

Britain should provide greater military assistance, while the pro-British forces led by the Federation are moving closer to Britain in all political, military, and commercial fields, with the mission of safeguarding British interests in North America, delaying and hindering the pace of US expansion.

immigration;

If it can, London should lead some British immigrants to enrich California on preferential terms, and strengthen the introduction of Chinese immigrants to the region.

This includes the import of 7 to 8,000 Panamanian Chinese laborers, 2~30,000 Cuban Chinese laborers, and 2~30,000 Chilean Chinese laborers to California on preferential terms.

Ask London to exert influence to get white miners and plantation owners in Central and South America to abandon the barriers that would prevent Chinese immigrants from moving to North America.

Only through the above-mentioned powerful measures, rapidly expanding the base of Chinese immigrants on the West Coast, absorbing more Chinese into the army, and enhancing our own strength, can we continue to compete with the United States for a long time and win the final victory.

Richard's request, overwhelmingly supported by Ronald Evenson, who swore to it;

London will be strongly lobbied to give strong and substantive support to the Federation.

But to what extent it can be supported, it depends on the value of the federation, whether it is worth betting on London?

After the secret conversation

William Richardson offered an olive branch and was willing to provide a financial loan of 50,000 ounces of gold for the Tang Society to expand the army and import a large amount of supplies.

This old fox understands very well that with the current environment and conditions in California, it is difficult to attract a sufficient number of British immigrants to the death of tens of thousands of people.

The main force that really resisted the American army had to be the Chinese gunners of the Tang Society.

And all this can't get around Richard, the founder and president of the Datang Society.

The unpredictable situation in North America has pushed Richard to the forefront and has become an important figure in the regional situation.

Faced with this situation, Richard gladly accepted.

What is the essence of the prestige system?

It's just going to make trouble!

Not only to make trouble, but also to make a big deal of it, to beat the reputation of Richard, so as to win a great reputation. Not only in Alta California, but also in the ears of Americans and Mexicans, that is the king of development.

In the "100,000 Prestige Mission" opened on the system panel today, Richard's mission progress has reached 28876/100000, and the completion rate is close to one-third.

The total population of the entire San Francisco area is less than 30,000, which may be added to the prestige that spread to Sacramento, which is already the limit of what Richard can do today.

Even with the addition of towns such as Santa Barbara, San Jose and Los Angeles, the entire province of Alta California has a population of less than 65,000, and there is only a limit to how much it can continue to expand its prestige.

Mexico's bustling province of Baja California, with a population of millions, and the eastern United States and the bustling Central Great Lakes region of the United States, with a total population of more than 13 million, are the fertile places where prestige spreads.

The more difficult the Reputation system quest to complete, the more rewarding it will be.

According to the British side

The situation in North America deteriorated rapidly due to the issue of Texas independence, and a war between Mexico and the United States was inevitable.

And the United States is also actively preparing for war, in this war of great disparity of power, the British, as old colonialists, have been identified from the mouths of American radical parliamentarians;

Vast areas including Arizona, New Mexico, and California, as well as Oregon, Portland, and Seattle, which were part of the British Canadian colonies, are all targets that the United States is trying to target.

A large-scale war that is about to engulf North America is already on the verge and has to be struck.

What could be more prestigious than winning a war?

In the face of such a challenge, Richard agreed without hesitation, and this won Ronald Evenson's high praise, which also made Captain William Richardson satisfied and more favored.

To sum up, Richard changed his original step-by-step battle plan and adopted a more aggressive battle plan against Alexander Madison's gang.

There is no need to persuade you to surrender, you can eliminate it as much as possible, so as not to have more troubles.

If you really want to fight with the Americans, you won't have time to clean up this group of goldboys.

With four artillery pieces in their hands and capable of shattering what appeared to be a fortified camp, Richard had planned to deal a heavy blow to the Madison gang with both artillery bombardment and infantry blockade, forcing them to surrender.

Now that he has changed his mind, he is ready to attack the entire Hewan Village with fire, even if he pays the price of more casualties, he should train the army.

Anyway, the four or five hundred white people in Hewan Village didn't have a few good birds, except for bandits and thorns, gamblers and white prostitutes, so they simply cleaned them up.

Come to think of it

Richard's sharp gaze looked in the direction of Hewan Village, revealing a hint of determination;

It's just because of your bad luck, don't blame me for being ruthless.

The night shrouded the wilderness, and the lit bonfire drove away the darkness, and the "crackling" burned violently, sprinkling light and heat into the cold night, bringing a trace of warmth.

After two or three hours of burning, the piles of bonfires gradually left only embers, and the area that can be illuminated is greatly reduced, only a little bit of the surrounding area remains.

The gunners of the Tang Society did not try to add new firewood to the enemy's bullets, but let it gradually go out.

As the night wore on, darkness reigned over the land......
