Minneapolis City

This is the capital of Minnesota, Minneapolis was originally founded in 1821 near St. Anthony's Falls on the Mississippi River.

Later immigrants gradually increased, forming the village of St. Anthony on the east bank.

With the expansion of the city and the gradual development of the west bank, the economic activities are mainly based on the use of waterfall water power and the development of the wood processing industry.

Along the raging Mississippi River, Minneapolis alone has 17 water-powered sawmills, a large amount of processed wood that drifts down the river, and is an important timber supply base for the northern United States and the Great Lakes region.

Mid-19th century

With the immigration of the United States to the Midwest, livestock farming and wheat cultivation in the Great Plains have become large-scale, making Minneapolis a processing center for agricultural and livestock products between the two major agricultural regions, and has a reputation as the "Flour City."

Timber and flour are two of Minneapolis' largest economic outputs, accounting for more than eighty percent of the city's total.

By the end of 1846, the population of Minneapolis had exceeded 50,000, and among the cities around the Great Lakes, the population and economic scale were far lower than those of Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids and other star industrial towns, but it was still second to none in Minnesota, which was dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry.

Now in the city

The black smoke bird and bird rose, and the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, which galloped past with a saber in hand, shouted loudly, driving the population of the town into the street, and anyone who dared to disobey would not hesitate to fall to the ground with a knife.

This beautiful riverside city in the north has been plunged into an unprecedented military disaster.

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom came so suddenly, the whole city fell without any resistance, and dozens of well-dressed and high-ranking people were hanged in front of the city council, including mayors, speakers and councilors, as well as well-known business owners and police chiefs.

Their corpses swayed in the wind, adding to the aura of terror.

Standing on the steps of the city council's gate, Richard looked around with a cold expression, and the small square in front of the church was already full of four-wheeled carriages, which were all transported looted in Minneapolis City, and they were full of goods.

There was a complete set of silver cutlery, porcelain, lace curtains and all kinds of clothes, weapons and production tools, bacon sausages and kitchen utensils, wall clocks, etc., which were fully loaded.

The city was home to more than 2,700 four-wheeled carriages, and Richard had promised that whoever grabbed it would go to whomever he wanted.

This greatly stimulated the wolf nature of the cavalry under his command, and they rushed into the white homes with knives and guns in hand, and the enthusiasm for burning, killing and looting was unprecedentedly high, and the whole city was tossed into a miasma.

Richard wanted to turn the 6,000 Chinese cavalry into bandits, polish away their gentle and humble side, stimulate the blood and wolf nature of the soldiers, and bring more serious war disasters to the towns in the hinterland of the United States.

No matter how strong a wolf is, there is only a limit to the damage.

And 6,000 wolves can wreak terrible havoc on the city in a short period of time.

On the banks of the river

Countless bags of flour were piled up here, and the white captives who were guarded with knives and guns opened the bags one by one and poured the snow-white flour into the river.

This caused a large cloud of powder to rise from the river, and everyone who stuck to their bodies turned into white-faced people, and the rushing Mississippi River appeared in large patches of white, which were all dumped flour.

For the Tang Kingdom, all the materials that could not be taken away had to be destroyed, the wood processing plant and the flour mill equipment were all destroyed, and then a fire was burned.

"Let's get started, don't waste time." Richard gave the order with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The officers of the long platoon below replied in a salute, and then quickly went their separate ways.

After the order is given

The fierce cavalry separated the white women, who ranged from 14 to 26 years of age, were left alone and brought back to Denver as trophies.

Your Majesty has already said it; Everyone gets a daughter-in-law and a cow.

It didn't take long

As many as 14,000 white women were separated, leaving only the old and weak women and children and men on the other side, many of whom resisted angrily and were then killed on the spot with sabers and muskets.

After a few hundred dead, the job can be done.

Then the white women were stuffed into the wagons, and there were a lot of white women who were able to handle the wagons, leaving a little space behind the driver's position, and each carriage could be stuffed with two or three women.

The remaining able-bodied women either followed the wagon, were hoisted to the back of the wagon, or climbed onto the high pile of goods and were driven southwest.

A long procession of wagons came out of the city, where cavalry drove a large herd of cattle forward, and the procession stretched for more than 10 kilometers, and everywhere there was a miserable cry of women.

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom who was in charge of escorting was elated, their team had a total of 1,600 horses, namely the Second Cavalry Regiment of Zhangzhou and the First Regiment of the Weihai Cavalry, and the commander was Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi, who was smiling from ear to ear at the moment.

Major Lin Shoutian, deputy commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of Zhangzhou, rode over playfully, pointed at the long line with a horsewhip and said; "Chief Zheng, let's follow His Majesty to attack this time, but it's a bite of oil! The little bunnies were overjoyed. ”

"Your Majesty's ideal is to relive the glory of the Tang Dynasty on the west coast of North America. You and I are the sons and daughters of China, kneeling down to heaven and earth, kneeling down to parents, and we must sweep away the evil spirit of enslavement of the Qing Tartar slaves for more than 200 years, and hold our heads high and be human beings. The world is gone forever, and it is time for us Chinese to raise our eyebrows. ”

"Yes, it's really comfortable to follow Your Majesty."

"Shoutian, when you have nothing to do, instill in the little rabbit cubs more loyal and patriotic concepts, we Chinese immigrants must twist into a rope and follow in the footsteps of Your Majesty, in order to create the prosperous Tang Dynasty of dreams."

"I understand that I must do what Chief Zheng instructs."

"Brother Shoutian doesn't have to be polite, you and I are both miserable people living abroad. If it weren't for His Majesty to create a foundation, we would all be white ghosts and old coolies, struggling to survive in the dark, how could we have this happy life now? ”

"What Chief Zheng said is really good, our brothers in Zhangzhou all remember Your Majesty's great kindness, there is nothing to repay in this life, this life will be sold to Your Majesty in the future, swear to follow it to the death, and never regret it." Major Lin Shoutian said from the bottom of his heart, he looked at the black cloud-like cattle in front of him, and couldn't help but gossip again.

"Chief Zheng, the number of cattle collected from nearby towns and farms is staggering, how many are there?"

"There can be about forty or fifty thousand, but the exact number is not clear."

"OMG! This place in the Americas is really rich, in the territory of our Zhangzhou Mansion, I don't know if there are 2,000 cows, and there are only a dozen buffaloes for thousands of people in some villages, which is simply incomparable. ”

"Haven't you seen how rich the Great Plains of the north-central Americas are, with millions of bison herds, and we haven't seen many along the way?"

Speaking of which

Zheng Laosi's expression became serious, and he commanded; "You take two cavalry brigades to keep the front and flanks safe, try to disperse those bison herds, don't let them interfere with our cattle south, and shoot them if necessary."

"Obedience!" Major Lin Shoutian saluted with a serious expression, and then immediately galloped away with his men.

The road from Minneapolis to Denver is an endless prairie, with lakes and forests, no roads, and roads everywhere.

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom marched lightly and quickly all the way, raiding the city of Minneapolis, and killing all the animals they met along the way, so as to prevent the leakage of news to the greatest extent.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi received an order, and on the way back, he would wipe out the pastures and white towns along the way, and bring back all the supplies. And, of course, white women of childbearing age.

These female cavalry were given priority, as well as a large amount of looted supplies, cattle and sheep, and the rest was to be given to a part of the musket regiment responsible for defending the city, and some to be sent to Rio Rancho Fortress and Los Angeles, adding up to at least seven to eight thousand white women.

So, don't look at the captivity of so many white women, in fact, a cent is gone.

This required Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi to loot white pastures and towns along the way on his return journey, and the 1,600 cavalry under his command were the largest armed force in the entire northern states of the United States, and could run amok;

For more information, see the measures in Denver.

At this time

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi silently looked back, the entire city of Minneapolis stood on the great plain of green mountains and green waters, dozens of black smoke of birds rose from the city, he seemed to be able to hear the dense gunfire, and the corpses of white male citizens were floating all over the Mississippi River.

After destroying the factories and farmsteads in Minneapolis, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom swept the entire city and poured all the flour that could not be taken away into the river.

And for the young and middle-aged white men in the city, bloody killings were launched......

This city can only leave more than 20,000 old and weak women and children, and it will surely become a heavy burden for the United States.

His Majesty the King has emphasized on many occasions;

The Tang Kingdom and the United States will be long-term war opponents, and the mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

If the U.S. military enters the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, it will never be polite to the Chinese, let alone show mercy to its subordinates.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Laosi silently turned his head, his eyes were already full of murderous aura, he would carry out His Majesty's orders to the letter, and the white towns on the return trip would fall into a fear of death.

His Majesty the King, with more than 4,400 cavalry, will wait in Minneapolis for the American army to take the bait and then strike them head-on.

After the capture of a large number of horses in Minneapolis, the six cavalry regiments under the command of the Tang Kingdom reached the standard of one man and two horses, and the heavy cavalry reached the standard of one man and three horses, with strong soldiers and strong horses and high morale.

With such a high-end configuration, it can be crisscrossed on the northern grasslands, and the United States has no temper.
