Only when you get along with each other can you know that the benefits of the British are not easy to take, and if you don't do it, you will sell all of yourself.

The more this happened, the more eager Richard became to develop and strengthen his own strength, hoping to get rid of the influence of the other party. Even if it is not good, it can also bargain relatively equally, instead of blindly being led by the nose by the other party.

Therefore, when the second batch of 723 Chinese immigrants arrived in the Bay Area, Richard immediately sent these people to Wudaoling Village deep in the valley to settle down, and all of them were included in the musket team for militarized training.

And all of this is hidden from the Yerba Buena side.

Let's be honest

Richard is ready to turn his face, he is ready to fight for the big fat meat of John Sartre in front of him, and wants to get rid of Datang and enjoy it exclusively?

Not to mention the doors, there are no windows.

More than 20 minutes later

The sound of a fierce quarrel coming from the direction of the tavern, which could be heard by anyone far away, caught Richard's attention, and after a slight hesitation, he beckoned a few officers of the Personal Guard to check it out.

Several white gunmen in charge of guarding the tavern near the tavern watched Richard and the others come over, with a slight look of struggle on their faces, and then the captain stood up and said; "I'm sorry sir, please allow me to report it."

"Okay, we're just going to see if we need help?"

"Understood, please wait a minute."

The white gunman hurried into the tavern, and after a short stay in it, he came out in a short time, and he stretched out his hand to make a guided motion; "You can go in, sir, but these gentlemen need to wait outside so as not to disturb the chiefs' decision-making."

"Okay...... Just wait. ”

Richard casually commanded, and then walked into the tavern, and the scene before him was that of both sides of the negotiation standing there across the table, looking red-faced and red-eared.

It seems that the two sides have huge differences, and the negotiations have broken down.

Richard was not surprised at all, for the Coalition's goal was to clear John Sartre's forces, seize their houses and property, order them to surrender and disband their armed forces, and reserve the right to further deportation.

And for John Sartre's side;

The bottom line is to keep your personal wealth and the white arms of your confidants, to get out of the new town with dignity, to return to the suburban farms to live, and to enjoy the right not to be disturbed.

If you hand over all your wealth and armament, what kind of surrender will you have?

There are 99 out of 100 people in the world who will not give up such a huge amount of wealth, and the so-called good wealth is hard to give up.

People who don't have money can generously say that I donate 100 million, but people who really have 100 million will never say that, this is human nature.

"You must surrender unconditionally, disarm and come out, including Mr. John Sutter, and we can guarantee him and his family's safety, and the prisoners will be treated appropriately."

"I can only regret to refuse your unreasonable demands, and Mr. John Sutter will never agree to the absurd demands of disbanding or surrendering property. Personal property is sacrosanct, this is a right granted by law, what is the difference between you and bandits? Lawyer Adam Tatum is very sharp-tongued, and he doesn't give an inch to ridicule each other.

Ronald Evenson was extremely tough, and he said proudly; "The loser has no right to put things on the table, and we have given Mr. John Sutter enough opportunities before, but unfortunately he did not take them. Surrender now is the only way out, don't be obsessed. ”

"I'm sorry, your conditions are too harsh, I can only refuse."

"Come to think of it, man, if you don't surrender, you'll probably all die here."

"What you say is only one of the possibilities, maybe we held the estate and repelled the outrageous encroachment of the Federation. Again, I repeat that it is absurd that we can only accept the condition of withdrawing from the new towns and will never disarm and hand over property. ”

"God, why do you want to go all the way to the dark?"

"Allow me to say, Mr. William, that death is not the most terrible end when someone wants to take everything from you. The people at John Sutter's estate have enough blood to defend their property and their families. ”

"Alright then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." William Richardson slammed his fist on the table.

John Sutter wasn't stupid, and the only son of Parkview Green owner William Richardson died at the hands of gunmen on his estate.

This is an irresolvable blood feud, if John Sartre obediently disarmed, he will definitely die an ugly death, lose all his money, and finally lose his life.

Rather than this, it is better to fight for life in death.

There are more than 200 henchmen and more than 30 returned wilderness cowboys in the manor, as long as they use money to stimulate the blood of everyone to fight to the death, they will not be without the power to fight.

Come on, hurt each other!

This attitude has embarrassed Parkview Green.

More than 480 people were dispatched in this battle, and nearly 100 casualties were suffered in the entire war, including 41 killed and more than 50 seriously wounded.

The entire combat force has been reduced by 1/5, and it has lost its sharpness at the beginning, and it is best if it can force the other side to surrender, but it is very tricky otherwise.

After all, there are too few white people to die!

After the breakdown of negotiations

William Richardson watched Joe Johnson and Adam Tatum return to the mansion, but there was nothing he could do. The large solid iron door was tightly shut, and the muzzle of the black hole on the wall pointed straight out.

For a while, there was a lot of noise, and the fierce battle could be restarted at any time.

In the tavern

Instead, Richard sat down leisurely, took out a bottle of Scotch whisky, poured himself a glass, drank it unhurriedly in his hand, and then said; "Guys, it's time to talk."

"Lee, now is not the time to chat, let's wait until we clean up all these rats." William Richardson interrupted him unpleasantly, tapped his hand on the table and spoke in a commanding tone; "Now we need the musket infantry of the Tang Society to be the main attacker. After the cannon blasted through the courtyard wall, it was necessary to concentrate all forces to attack and kill them, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, and victory was just around the corner......"

"Wait a minute, I want to say a few words."

"Shut up, now listen to me, all the cavalry of the Tang Hui should dismount and fight on foot, we must gather overwhelming forces and give them a powerful ......" William Richardson chattered and began to arrange the next round of attacks.

"Wait, I'm talking TMD, wait, are you deaf?" Richard accentuated his tone, which made William Richardson stunned for a moment, and then looked at him in disbelief and blurted out; "Watt, what are you talking about?"

"I told you to wait, a damn old fellow, is it that hard to understand people? And you, the British monkey jumping up and down, sit down for me and listen to the master speak clearly, OK? ”

After Richard finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the tavern.

The ruthless Richard in front of them made them feel extremely unfamiliar, and the kind of murderous aura that was almost overflowing was like an invisible big hand choking their throats, and they involuntarily sat down obediently.

"It's good, it's the rhythm I like." Richard said imposingly, then took a Havana cigar from his underwear pocket, cut off the cap, lit it and took a deep breath, letting the strong tobacco smell waft through, nodded and continued;

"Yes, that's what I like.

So don't waste time, let's go through it first, as of today, the armed forces of the Datang Society have reached 1,677 people, including the 723 Chinese laborers imported in the second batch.

I saw that the quality of this group was very good, so I simply recruited all of them into the musket team and conducted closed training for three days.

Other words

The armed strength of the Datang Society is 1,677 people, and how many can Fangcaodi have?

I'm afraid there are less than 400 people.

This is quite a huge gap, the armed forces of the Datang Society are more than 4 times that of Fangcaodi, and even if I break in half, the combat effectiveness is more than twice that of yours.

You see, the problem is so simple.

Therefore, the federation should adapt to the changes in the situation, led by the Datang Association, and the position of president of the federation is none other than me, do you think this request is reasonable?

Let's talk, let's talk freely, and talk about our thoughts? ”

It's a fart!

If you don't understand what Richard means, then you really live to a dog all these years.

William Richardson's stinky face was so gloomy that it dripped, while Ronald Evenson was dumbfounded, and his open mouth could be stuffed with a duck egg.

They could never have imagined that Richard would choose this point in time to suddenly attack, which is simply ......

It's so incontractual, it's despicable, it's ingratitude, it's so infuriating, it's ......

William Richardson's lips trembled and he couldn't speak, but he just stared at Richard with a pair of murderous eyes, and Richard shrugged his shoulders indifferently and spread his hands outstretched;

"Look at man, what I'm saying is true, not exaggerated.

The current system of the federation is no longer adapted to the changing situation and needs to be corrected urgently, and I think now is a good time.

In addition, on the issue of forming a new government, I also have some premature suggestions that I would like to discuss with you in depth.

Of course, you can wait until the battle is over to talk, it's not in a hurry.

It was imperative to clarify the leadership of the federation, and I felt that Mr. William Richardson would resign voluntarily and be replaced by me.

In addition, I would deprive Mr. Ronald Evenson of military command.

Watching from the sidelines until now

I thought Mr. Evenson's command was terrible, and the Yerba Buena offensive took undue losses.

You are still suitable to be an adventurer, and the art of military command is really not comparable to you.

Since it is now the time of the battle, all the procedures are simple, as long as the two of you nod their heads, and the relevant procedures can be supplemented and improved after the battle.

Now that I'm done, what else do you two have to add? ”

"Lee, why are you doing this?" Ronald Evenson asked in a harsh tone.

Richard sighed softly and patiently explained; "This is because you are too self-conscious to take care of the interests and concerns of the Datang Society, which makes me deeply uneasy. After thinking about it, I still ask you all to step down, and the federation is up to me. ”

"What if we say no?" William Richardson said in a tough tone.

"Tut-tut...... You'll agree. Richard smacked his lips confidently, walked to the window and looked out, where several of the guards officers had taken control of the white gunner, disarmed and tied up, and pushed them into the tavern one by one.

"You may be wondering, I still have 700 musketeers hidden, where will they be? Now I will tell you that they have taken control of Yerba Buena and that all those who resist will be hanged without mercy, including your proposed Minister of Trade, Mr. Fox, and Secretary of the Navy Mr. Dawson.

So tell me now, your decision? ”
