Peel City

After the Battle of Missouri and after a great circle around the Great Lakes, King Richard stopped at Peel City and seized the time to transport large numbers of people, cattle, sheep, and wagons to the southern Colorado Plateau, batch after batch.

Before the spring flowers bloomed in March, this major event was finally done.

At the beginning of the year, the 13,000 cavalry who followed Richard down the plateau, in addition to more than 1,000 losses, returned to Phoenix (Denver) one after another to reunite with their families. Only more than 1,000 Chinese cavalry and more than 2,000 white naturalized cavalry remained, and they remained in Peel City.

Entering March

5,000 cavalry recruits were sent from the Colorado Plateau, all of whom were selected from among the new Chinese immigrants and had initial combat effectiveness after more than half a year of training and training.

came to Peel City to temper the combat effectiveness of these Chinese cavalry newcomers.

Peel City, the capital of South Dakota, is located on the east bank of the Missouri River, in the center of the eight northwestern states of the United States, with endless plains and lush vegetation.

The eight northwestern states of the United States refer to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, which are sparsely populated and less developed.

There are many advantages to stationing troops here, mainly for three reasons;

First, it can exert military pressure on the United States, contain its troop deployment, and weaken the defensive pressure in the direction of Phoenix.

In particular, South and North Dakota are the places where the Sioux people, a large traditional indigenous Indian tribe, live in the area, there are many bison, the grass and trees are vigorous, and there are many American villages and towns walking within five or six hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, which are very suitable for cavalry newcomers to practice.

This is also the purpose of Richard to mobilize 5,000 recruits to go down to the plateau, see blood, face life and death and battle, and soon be able to mature, and the greenhouse can not raise strong flowers that can resist wind and rain.

Third, to carry out a substantial military occupation, to have more leverage, and to expand territorial claims through military victories, including South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska.

Coupled with the original Colorado, Montana and Wyoming, the Tang Kingdom claimed the territory of the six northwestern states to the United States at one time, and the asking price was equal to double the previous price.

Although the international mediation between the United Kingdom, hosted by the United Kingdom and jointly participated by seven European countries, including Prussia, France, Austria, Italy (Kingdom of Corsica), the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, has reached an impasse, the dialogue between the United States and Tang China has not been completely interrupted, and communication channels are still maintained.

The working group, led by Mr. Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Kingdom, is now in Ottawa, the capital of the British Canadian colony, acting on domestic instructions.

He was able to consult closely with representatives of Britain and other countries on relevant matters at the first time, including international aid, trade and expansion of territorial claims, which was also the stage for the diplomatic performance of the Tang Kingdom.

The better he fights on the battlefield, the harder Juan Carlos' waist will be, and the more confident he will be in his speech.

In Richard's opinion

The relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the United States is like a small trader bargaining, and a series of brilliant military victories have given him enough confidence to open his mouth.

Ask for a price all over the sky, pay back the money on the spot!

There is no shame.

According to US newspaper reports, the US federal government has borrowed a huge debt worth $330 million internationally in order to sustain the war, which is a huge burden for an economy with an annual gross national product of only $1 billion.

In a single defeat at the Battle of the Missouri River, the United States lost tens of millions of dollars, including cavalry training and equipment, as well as high pension costs.

There are millions of wild horses in the North American wilderness, but only tens of thousands can be used as high-quality war horses, almost a few percent.

This is because the bloodline of wild horses is mixed and impure, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of speed, endurance, and carrying capacity, and most of them can only be used as horses or animal power after taming, which is not of great use.

Because of this

The Tang Kingdom has established several horse farms around Peel City, which are specially used to breed high-quality heavy horses such as the French Persh horse, the British Suffolk horse, and the Arabian horse, which is the beauty of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Now that the military occupation is over, this territory is mine.

Peel City is located about 800 kilometers northeast of Phoenix City (Denver) on the Colorado Plateau, continuing deep into the Great Plains of the central United States, about 800 kilometers away from Kansas City in the south, and about 1,270 kilometers away from Chicago in the southeast.

The stationing of 8,000 cavalry here is a sharp sword piercing into the heart of the United States, and the benefits are self-evident.

Early in the morning

Inside a wealthy merchant's estate in the city of Peel

In the warm spring-like room, on the European-style court bed with low curtains, Richard woke up from a good night's sleep.

Several snow-white arms and legs on the bed are surrounding him, white dazzling, these are two delicate and lovely golden silk cats, both of which are the best white girls in a million, sent to His Majesty the King to warm the bed.

This little filial piety of his subordinates, Richard naturally smiled.

After waking up and freshening up, Richard came to the living room in a loose robe, where the burning fireplace kept the room warm.

Stand at the window

You can see the cavalrymen who get up early and exercise in the morning outside the window, running through the streets in a neat queue, all of them in good spirits, revealing the infinite vitality of young men.

Just in the past few days

Richard promoted all the more than 220 backbone soldiers of the royal guards cuirassier regiment to second lieutenant officers and sent them to the newly formed cavalry regiment as grassroots officers to enrich the grassroots forces.

meanwhile

More than 310 literate and outstanding soldiers were selected from it to serve in the cuirassier regiment of the royal guard, preparing to conduct systematic training in military theory, geography, history and combat ability, and complete the transformation from soldiers to grassroots officers.

Richard walked over to the couch in front of the fireplace and sat down, there were a few expired newspapers on the coffee table, he picked them up and flipped through them and put them down, these were all newspapers he had already read, and he was not interested in them.

Today is March 16th, and the temperature is gradually warming, and the minimum temperature here is above 0 degrees for a week.

On the more than 800-kilometer winding road from Peel City to Phoenix (Denver), the frozen land has begun to melt at noon when the temperature is high, and it freezes again in the evening.

But this is only the surface, and when the heavy wheels are pressed on, they sink deep into it, forming deep rut marks.

If there is another spring rain, it will become a quagmire.

The horses were able to pass, but the carriages were not.

Under Richard's orders, the kingdom evacuated 12,000 prisoners to build roads and long-distance telegraph lines, and the final destination was Peel City.

There are as many as 11 fortress-style villages and towns built along the way, basically one every 70~80 kilometers, some of which add a layer of defensive walls to American villages and towns, and some are completely newly built.

The longer he stayed in Peel City, the more Richard felt that it was a good place to be, and he really didn't want to leave.

Peel City was built on the east bank of the Missouri River, from the top of the manor, the wide and calm Missouri River can not be seen at a glance, the vast river is like a large lake, at the end of the horizon is the snow-capped Badlands Mountains, the mountainous terrain is rugged, southwest is the Black Hills region, the tall mountains are about 1100 meters above sea level, the highest Hani Peak is 2209 meters above sea level, is the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains in North America.

There are many large rivers flowing through the plains and forests, and the vegetation is extremely lush, and large herds of bison can often be seen, making it a very suitable area for farming.

If he could strengthen his rule over the region, Richard would not mind building a city here.

Of course, all this is just planned......

Richard put away his complicated thoughts, and then instructed Colonel Liu Wu (formerly known as Liu Wu, promoted) who walked in after hearing the sound; "Inform Colonel Harry Freyzi and summon him for an immediate audience."

"Obey Your Majesty, Weichen will go to deliver the decree." Colonel Liu Wu immediately retreated after receiving the order.

Harry Frezzie was originally a lieutenant colonel of the Tennessee Cavalry Regiment in the United States, and he was the commander of the American army who made Richard scratch his head in the Second Western Expedition.

As a rare military talent, Richard was ready to give him a heavy responsibility, with Colonel Harry Frezzie as the commander of Peel City, and unified the command of more than 7,000 horsemen in the region.

Following the Tang Kingdom to conquer the north and south, Harry Freezy and those naturalized white cavalrymen had the blood of the American people on their hands, and they had proved their loyalty and were completely trustworthy with practical actions.

Compared with the Chinese cavalry, these naturalized white cavalry were more ferocious and thorough in burning, looting, and slaughtering white Americans, and they also made the Yankees hate them the most, and there was no turning back at all.

The United States is a country of immigrants, not a nation-state, and its biggest feature is that it has poor national cohesion and a poor sense of identity, especially after the repeated defeats in the west, this invisible rift within it is even more obvious.

Harry Frezzy is of white Irish descent, and now has a bitter hatred for the English, and does not even want to see the Americans, and is now loyal only to the Tang Empire.

It's pitiful to say

Ireland was a subordinate colony of the British Empire, one of the lowest in almost all of Europe, on the same level as Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Beginning with the potato crisis in 1845 and reaching its peak in 1848, the Great Famine in Ireland, which shocked all of Europe, starved countless people to death, and the wealthy British landowners and upper classes turned a deaf ear to it, allowing it to spread without lending a helping hand.

According to American newspapers;

Nicholas Cummins, a magistrate in County Cork, Ireland, described "Black 1847" as follows:

"I walked into a farmhouse in the Irish countryside and the scene was jaw-dropping. Six hungry, scrawny, ghostly men lay on a pile of filthy straw in the corner of the hut.

I thought they were dead, but as I approached them, I heard a whisper in my ears.

Oh my God! These 'people' are still alive......

Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in Irish towns and villages, where men and women who are so hungry that they are weak lie on the roads, behind their houses, and by the corrals, waiting for death to come......"
