When the train arrived in the early hours of the morning

Passionate music sounded on the platform, soldiers with muskets lined up neatly around the platform to guard, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Shrimp (shrimp boy) led the main military and political officials of the fortress to greet them on the platform, and laid a red carpet more than ten meters long outside the carriage.

When the train came to a standstill, the pressure relief valve emitted a large cloud of white steam that enveloped almost the entire platform.

The 120 guards in the carriage rushed out, holding their waist knives and guns vigilantly dispersed, forming an inner warning circle, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, so that Lieutenant Colonel Wu Xia and others couldn't help but straighten their backs, and a more awe-inspiring feeling sprouted in their hearts.

His Majesty the King twice broke the western expedition against the United States, and led 6,000 cavalry across the northwestern states of the United States, fighting one beautiful victory after another, and the relevant news was widely spread in the Tang Kingdom, making His Majesty's prestige outstanding and the kingdom's situation unprecedentedly stable.

Under the rule of such powerful figures, even some whites in the kingdom who were secretly dissatisfied would never dare to openly show themselves and become the target of iron-fisted repression.

In the sound of passionate military music

Richard appeared at the door of the carriage in military uniform, his sharp eyes swept around, and a powerful aura burst out, as if a small mountain was pressed on the shoulders of everyone present.

"His Majesty the King has arrived, salute all!"

The high-pitched voice of the ceremonial officer echoed on the platform, and all the officers and soldiers immediately saluted in unison, and stood straight with steel guns in their hands.

Richard paused slightly at the door of the carriage, then stepped onto the red carpet, walked more than ten steps, and came to the front of the officers, and then followed the queue from front to back one by one.

Under his piercing gaze, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, the officers felt their legs go limp, but they tried their best to hold on.

"What's your name?" Richard walked up to a young white lieutenant officer, suddenly stopped and asked.

The white lieutenant officer shuddered in fright, then straightened his chest and replied; "Your Majesty, Humble Thomas Lamb, a native of Scotsland, joined the army on April 22, 1846, and took part in the battles of the River of the Americas and the Rio Rancho Defense."

Oh, as soon as he said that, Richard understood.

This Thomas Lamb was one of the gunners sent by Yerba Caodi in the original battle of the Tang Dynasty to clear the American River.

Richard is gifted with superhuman spiritual sense, and he can feel a deep hidden resentment in his emotions, and this hidden danger will not be let go as long as he finds it.

"How are the kingdom's troops treating you?"

"Your Majesty, treating the lowly duty is as kind as a mountain, and the commanders also take good care of the lowly duty, and I am fortunate to be a part of the army."

"Then why do you have a grudge and plot against you?" Richard shouted.

The secret in his heart was suddenly revealed, and Lieutenant Thomas-Lamb immediately turned pale with fright, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

He was so frightened, why could the secret of his heart be discovered?

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Shrimp and the others, who were standing next to him, saw Lieutenant Thomas Lamb's face change drastically, and lowered their heads in fear.

Knowing that there must be a ghost, he was really shocked and angry at the moment.

"Hula" surrounded Lieutenant Thomas Lamb in the middle, and was about to be captured, Lieutenant Thomas-Lamb saw that he was being pushed to the extreme, and in desperation, he reached for the revolver on his waist.

In just a few tenths of a second, his hand had already touched the holster of the cowhide......

It's too late, it's too soon.

In a trance, a figure flickered, and Richard had already slashed on Lieutenant Thomas-Lamb's right arm with his gun, only to hear a crisp "Kara" sound, and Lieutenant Thomas-Lamb's right arm had been shattered and slumped down softly.

Richard then kicked him in the chest, sending Lieutenant Thomas Lamb five or six meters away, rolling twice and fainting.

This series of actions was completed in less than a second.

Everyone's eyes lit up, Lieutenant Thomas Lamb had turned into a rolling gourd, and he was really like lightning, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Richard snorted coldly, withdrew his hand and said; "If you dare to do it in front of me, it is really the way to die, and take this thief with evil intentions up and interrogate him strictly, this person must also have his comrades, all of whom must be dug up one by one and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots."

"Obey the holy order, the humble rank is seriously dereliction of duty, and it is difficult to escape the blame for all deaths, please ask Your Majesty to condemn the crime." Lieutenant Colonel Wu Shrimp was already shocked into a cold sweat, and his hands respectfully bowed and pleaded guilty.

The other officers were cowardly and did not dare to speak, and they all bowed and pleaded guilty.

"This crime shall be written down and fined for three months, and in the future, the promotion of officers shall be based on their character, whether they are loyal to the kingdom and the royal family, whether they are of pure moral character, and upright, so that those with ill intentions will not be mixed into the officer ranks, and you must know the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill."

"I am ashamed of my duty, but I will remember the holy command, and I will not dare to disobey it at any time."

"Who is this person who is guaranteed to be promoted? After returning home, he immediately took control of it to prevent the news from leaking, and I was worried that he still had his accomplices hiding in the fortress, and he must be caught in the net. Speaking of this, Richard looked back at Captain Mai Hsiao-zu, deputy captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Royal Guards Cuirassier Regiment, and commanded;

"You are a good hand at torture, you are in charge of digging deep into this case, the fortress will fully assist, give you 6 hours of time, I want to see the result."

"Your Majesty, if you obey your orders, you will definitely complete the task. It's just that time is pressing, and the inferior function can't just start torturing now? ”

"Go ahead."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Captain Mak Hyo-zu gave the salute, he turned to see that Lieutenant Thomas Lamb, who had fainted not far away, had been tied up, still fainting, with a terrifying smile on his face.

He led a few of his own soldiers into a room near the train station, where an inhuman scream was quickly heard, and it was horrifying to hear.

Captain Mai Xiaozu's family hand-me-down six-door craftsmanship has a great experience in torturing those iron-clad Jiangyang thieves, even if the outlaw bandits are in his hands, the iron rod will be turned into a finger twist.

Lieutenant Thomas Lamb was just an ordinary soldier with no professional training in torture, let alone an outlaw, where could he stand this?

More than 40 minutes later

Captain Mak Hsiao-zu had already returned to hand in on his errand, and learned through torture;

Lieutenant Thomas Lamb belonged to a secret organization called "England Home", which organized Protestantism and aimed to establish a white nation with a pure faith, strongly opposed the Chinese dove's nest behavior, and opposed the kingdom's policy of massacring and enslaving white people......

Anyway, there are a lot of Guala Guala, and the Tang Kingdom is very difficult to defeat at the moment, so it can only lurk temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Expect to find an opportunity to launch a mutiny, assassinate King Richard and his loyal lackeys in one fell swoop, and seek British support to regain military and political power.

Interestingly

The leader of this secret organization of the "Home of England" is an acquaintance, that is, Captain William Richardson, the former president of the Federation, and he sees that the development of the Tang Kingdom is now in full swing, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and his heart is becoming more and more unbalanced, jealous, envious and hateful.

The British adventurer Ronald Evenson, the deputy leader of the organization and the kobold, originally proposed and promoted the idea of establishing an independent state in San Francisco, and tried his best to appeal to London for support.

But the last fruit was picked by Richard, Ronald Evenson didn't get any benefits, and kicked it away when he used it, and the legendary glory and family nobility title in his dreams were all gone, so why not the word "lost"?

The hatred in my heart stretches like a surging river.

The other backbones of the "England homeland" were mostly white captains of Yerba Meadowa and the remnants of John Sutter the Elder, who had been secretly gathered together either because of the loss of shipping monopoly or commercial interests, or because of the psychological imbalance caused by the decline of status.

Lieutenant Thomas Lamb, though not a high rank in the military, was a true confidant of Captain William Richardson, the most striking example of which is;

Selena, the third-ranked daughter of Captain William Richardson, was officially engaged to Lieutenant Thomas Lamb when she was on leave in April.

"Oh...... Selena, I have the impression that this is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, no wonder Lieutenant Thomas is desperately following a group of rebels and rebels, love can make people blind! ”

Richard said with a sigh, feeling sorry in his heart.

Captain Mak Hyo-zu was ruthless in order to find out the truth as soon as possible, and although this Lieutenant Thomas Lamb still had a breath, he was really hopeless.

The whole person is almost a bloody rag pocket, and even if it is returned to Selena, it will not be used.

It's still the same sentence, love makes people blind!

The military of the fortress of Rio Rancho then launched a swift operation, arresting 6 officers and 17 soldiers, from captains to ensigns, and immediately tortured them.

By dusk

The general outline of this so-called "Irish homeland" is clear, with a core of about 378 people and more than 200 peripheral congregations, all of whom are white, and more than 70 percent are original residents of Yerba Buenadi.

The establishment of the Tang Kingdom and Richard's usurpation of power and seizure of power are a hurdle that some people will never be able to overcome.

In order to completely eradicate the matter, Richard could only hurriedly end his inspection of the Rio Rancho Fortress and rush to Los Angeles by train overnight.

Secretly controlled the people involved in Los Angeles, and then arrived in San Francisco on the night of the 4th day by steamer clipper, and launched a large-scale arrest in the starry night, capturing a total of 371 backbone and collaborators of the "England Home" organization led by William Richardson, British adventurer Ronald Evenson, and economic commissioner Odom Russell.

Why are more henchmen captured than confessed?

The reason is simple

Originally, some white families who controlled the important areas of shipping, industry and commerce in San Francisco and Los Angeles pointed fingers at the development of the Tang Kingdom, got in the way everywhere, and kept chattering all day long, but this time they were dealt with together.

Charged with rebellion, they directly confiscated their homes, and all of them were arrested and imprisoned along with their families, with a total of more than 1,400 people, directly sweeping away more than half of the white upper class.

This case of deliberate rebellion was the largest case since the founding of the Tang Kingdom, and as soon as it was reported in the newspapers, it immediately aroused the shock of the Chinese people, who strongly criticized it one after another, demanding that those who deliberately rebel be sentenced to death.

But it's not that simple

This is 371 white families, mainly descendants of British immigrants, involving more than 1,400 men, women and children, and it is impossible to kill them.

This is the sorrow of the vassal state, and it is also the reality that Richard has to face.

Sure enough

When Baron Glanville-Gower, the British Governor of the Oregon Colony and British diplomatic envoy, heard of this, he immediately rushed over by boat to meet Richard, the king of the Tang Kingdom, and exert pressure.

This move by Britain is not surprising, as an old imperialist country that colonizes the world, the British have always put on their lips the mantra that "the dignity of the British Empire cannot be offended" and attach great importance to the protection of overseas Chinese and consular interests.

Many of Britain's practices have been carried over in later generations and have become some of the accepted norms in the international diplomatic community.

Compared with later generations, the middle of the 19th century was in the heyday of the British Empire, and Her Majesty Queen Victoria's grand cause of colonizing the whole world was advancing step by step.

In places like Ireland, South Africa, India, Australia and Canada, local governments did not have the right to interrogate British.

Even if they were guilty, they had to travel all the way to London to stand trial, and the colonial governments simply didn't have the time and energy and the money to spend on the long litigating battles in London.

Therefore, the prisoners basically returned to London safely, and after getting off the ship, they went back to their respective homes, whether it was murder and arson, rape and robbery, or mutilation of women, basically nothing.

Can the higher Anglo-Saxon whites make a little mistake?

This hegemony later evolved into consul and merchant immunity, and the protection was extended to the descendants of British immigrants, who were almost free to do whatever they wanted in the colonies.

Although the Tang Kingdom was not a British colony, it was indeed a de facto vassal state, and its status was almost equal to that of the Kingdom of Iran, which was protected by the British Empire, and slightly lower than that of the Greek Kingdom.

Therefore, the hasty disposal of this large number of whites will certainly cause a thunderous wrath on the part of London.

"Your Majesty, this diplomatic telegram you have seen is a letter of representation signed by the Prime Minister, His Excellency William Lamb, and the Foreign Secretary, Sir Henry-John-Temple, concerning the dignity of the British Empire, and I ask you to proceed with caution." Baron Glanville-Gower said with a serious expression.

Richard looked at the letter of negotiation carefully, and after thinking about it, he said; "Your government's move to openly interfere in the internal affairs of the Tang Kingdom will seriously damage the feelings of the Tang Kingdom towards the United Kingdom, have you considered such consequences?"

"I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, I have to be honest and say that the dignity of the British Empire is priceless, and that the strategic role of your country is not as important as you think. The core interests of the British Empire were always in Europe and the Atlantic, followed by the Indian subcontinent, and third, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Far East. And North America, with all due respect, is only a strategic periphery. ”

"Sir Glanville, your words really break my heart." Richard sighed expressionlessly, but he didn't see the slightest sadness.
