Chapter 119: Yankee Faith
After inspecting the construction of various projects in the Indian Valley, the brick kilns have begun to be shipped in large quantities, and the kilns are fired with high-quality coal produced in Denver, which has strong firepower and high combustion value.
What's even more rare is that the coal mine is shallow buried, and after removing the floating soil more than two meters deep on the surface, you can directly dig the coal, and dig as much as you want.
In addition, the quality of the local alpine clay is very good, and there are many old watches from Jiangxi among the Chinese workers, who originally had the skill of firing porcelain kilns, and soon several small-scale porcelain kilns were set up.
Besides
The food mill is installing equipment, the flour mill has been put into operation, and the snow-white and delicate flour is being produced in a steady stream, which has greatly improved the supply of materials to Denver Castle.
The only regret is that due to the climate, rice cannot be grown for the time being, and it is difficult for Chinese immigrants in Liangguang and the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian to eat the rice they want.
That would have to wait until after the beginning of spring, when the temperature rises, before it can be planted.
Unfortunately, by that time, perhaps the American army had already overwhelmed the border, and all the crops outside the castle fortress could only be barren or burned clean.
Deep in the valley, Richard saw vast expanses of farmland that had been carved out, irrigation canals were built, and hardy crops such as Chinese cabbage, turnips, and peppers were growing.
Presumably, by the beginning of spring next year, it will be full of rice, and the yield of the first-year land may not be very high, but it will be enough to satisfy the appetite of Chinese foodies.
It seems that with the slightest possibility, Chinese immigrants will be able to successfully grow rice on the Denver Plateau.
Nowadays, you can eat a series of soy products such as tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, oil gluten, dried orchid, stinky tofu and so on in Denver Castle.
It is estimated that it will not be long before rice noodles, cold skin, rice cakes, Ningbo dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, and these flavorful snacks will emerge one after another, and people can't help but drool when they think of this.
Alas, I have nowhere to put my Chinese appetite!
Richard smiled wryly and shook his head, this Indian valley is home to tens of thousands of hard laborers and more than 1,000 Chinese laborers involved in the hard work, which is rapidly changing the original appearance of the valley.
Brand new factories have been completed one after another, tall windmills are turning, roads and houses are in full swing construction, and there is a thriving scene.
It won't take long
With the start of the Taniguchi Fortress project and the commissioning of the cement plant, the construction of the entire Indian Valley will enter the fast lane, racing against time to seize time.
Come to think of it
Richard couldn't help but a smile on the corner of his mouth, took the reins of the horse and jumped onto the horse, and loudly greeted Liu Wu and the other guards and cavalrymen; "Guys, let's go back to the camp, the Yankees in the north will definitely not expect the Kingdom soldiers to suddenly kill, we have to give them a big surprise, drive!"
After all that is said
He galloped away in the lead, and the cavalry behind him were in high spirits, and they roared behind their horses with strange screams, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled away......
Chicago, USA
In 1846, Chicago was already a large city with a population of nearly 300,000, and in rapid growth, it was called the "twin cities" of the Great Lakes region along with Detroit, and it was also the third largest city after New York and Philadelphia.
The military barracks on the outskirts of the city are bustling with people, bringing together a number of volunteer militia teams from the surrounding areas, with a total of nearly 16,000 people, and it is one of the key cities preparing for war.
The military commander of the Chicago base is Major General Tris Spike, one of the four newly promoted major generals of the U.S. Continental Army, who is responsible for the overall work of the Chicago base.
And here, it is also one of the strongholds of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the other is in Kansas City, where the size of the army is slightly smaller, but it also reaches 11,000 people.
Major General Tris Spike stood under the porch, his corncob pipe in his mouth, his hands on his hips, and he was watching the American training with a smug expression.
on the training ground
Thousands of U.S. soldiers lined up to practice the tactics of musketeers who lined up to be shot, marching step by step to the sound of military music, looking very lively.
On the other side of the training ground
The U.S. horse team galloped away into the distance like a dark cloud, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, and the stampede trembled violently, and the momentum was very impressive.
With such a large lineup, Major General Tris Spike is full of ambition, and he will command this powerful army to conquer the Tang Kingdom and crush everything with great strength.
"Look, Frank, our lads are the best, and I'm going to lead them all the way to Los Angeles and get that shit out of the shit madman king and get a good breath for you."
There was no lack of ostentation in Major General Tris Spike's words, and he glanced at Major General Frank-Gilhuri standing beside him, full of Versailles.
As the general of the defeated army, Major General Frank Gilhurry, who is now the deputy commander of the Chicago base, looked at Major General Tris Spike, who was more than 10 years younger than him, with a smug expression, and almost broke out to greet his old mother.
Forcibly suppressing the evil feeling in his heart, the corners of Major General Frank Gilhurry's mouth twitched, and he said lightly; "Mr. Major General, that mad king is not as easy to deal with as you might expect, and I have hardly had a head-on fight with him, but I have been led by the nose. The mad king, though not very old, is extremely cunning. ”
"Oh, then I'm even more interested."
"I want to solemnly remind you, Mr. Major General, that the Tang Kingdom has a cuirassier regiment with good combat effectiveness, and they are armed with a high-powered cavalry revolver capable of 6 consecutive shots, and their firepower completely overwhelms the American army. In the implementation of the conventional semi-roundabout tactics of cavalry, the charge ...... Shoot...... In a roundabout way, charge again...... Shooting, and so on, until the American cavalry was crushed. With the blessing of advanced weapons, this is quite a threat to our cavalry? ”
"I've heard you say that this is a cavalry force of no more than 1,300 men, and I don't believe it can last two rounds under the iron heel of the army, but we have gathered nearly 7,000 cavalry, more than five times as many as them."
"Don't take that lightly, these Orientals are very weird."
"General Frank, I have to warn you, don't let the prestige of others destroy your own morale. Under the crushing of absolute strength, all ghost schemes will eventually melt like ice and snow. ”
Major General Tris Spike was already in a somewhat unhappy mood, and he stretched out his left hand to remove the corncob pipe from his mouth, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was unusually warning.
How can a defeated general mess with our army's morale here?
The 8,000-strong army was defeated and wiped out, which dealt a particularly heavy blow to the confidence of the US military.
is fighting like you, no matter how thick your family background is, it's not enough to toss.
