In May 1859, the "Eucalyptus Assassination in Hewan" and its subsequent Tang Kingdom brazenly dispatched troops to Tijuana, and it took only four and a half days to fully occupy the state, showing the Tang Kingdom's fierce military means and strong military strength, which is impressive.

The focus of European public opinion is not on the Tang Kingdom's seizure of Tijuana, and the concept of maintaining the inviolability of divine royal power is deeply rooted in Europe, which is not the focus of the problem.

The focus is on whether the Tang Kingdom will join the current brutal and unprecedentedly bloody American Civil War?

The focus is on whether the United States will declare war on the Tang Kingdom?

The focus is on where the volatile situation in North America is headed in the future?

The focus is on the leisurely Tang Kingdom King Richard's northern inspection trip, what kind of moth will it make?

Public opinion in many European countries was attracted by the chaotic war situation in North America, and even opened a series of columns and reports, and all kinds of speculations were rampant, and there was everything to say.

In particular, the front page of the British "Times" was the most eye-catching, with the headline is; The Orientals were about to dominate North America.

The article counts the conquest process of the king of the Tang Kingdom, known as the "Demon King Charlie", since the founding of the country, winning a hundred battles, rarely having opponents, and is a very ambitious and aggressive king, who will never give up the rare opportunity for current expansion.

In the article, the war handle that the United States has always taken the initiative to send is called; "Attorney General Richardson, who drank too much cheap ale in a tavern, has created a big problem for President James Buchanan, which could be a turning point in the chaos of North America."

and assert; "North America will usher in a new chapter of Oriental domination".

Newspapers in various European countries have reprinted the authoritative report of the British "Times", and the French old man has openly shouted and threatened in the newspapers because of the interests of the usurer class; "France will not tolerate irresponsible behavior that will exacerbate the chaos in North America, and may take actual military action to protect French interests."

While threatening the Tang Kingdom, French newspapers openly shouted to the US federal government; "Now that we already have a headache enemy, it would be wisest to restrain the members of the government from provoking another, more powerful enemy......"

May 18, 1859

This is a good day for the Chinese, and the melon eaters in Europe did not wait for the news that the Tang Kingdom declared war on the US Federal Government (North) or the US Federal Government (North) took the initiative to declare war on the Tang Kingdom, but waited for a strong declaration from the US Federal Government;

The Emancipation Proclamation was officially announced to the public at 10:00 a.m. on May 18, 1859, at the opening of the Presidential Library in Washington, D.C.

It seems that the US federal government is trying to cover up the public expectation of a war between the United States and the United States with a more powerful news, to occupy the main pages of public opinion in North America and Europe, and to make people forget these broken things about the war and the old humiliation of the United States.

In fact, they succeeded.

The focus of public opinion was quickly drawn to the Emancipation Proclamation, which was divided into two parts;

Since January 1, 1860, the U.S. federal government has formally passed a congressional vote into a legal document ordering the emancipation of black slaves.

Blacks were not given political rights, nor were they given land. However, the Declaration indicates that the Buchanan Government's position has shifted from restricting slavery to its complete abolition, a historic step.

In the manifesto, which contains an official statement by President James Buchanan:

All slaves who seceded from the Union and returned to the states under Union control were to be emancipated no later than January 1, 1860......

In the Emancipation Proclamation, Maryland, Delaware (none of which had seceded from the Union at the time), Tennessee (under federal control), Missouri, and Kentucky (there were several factional governments accepted by the Union, but they were still hesitating to leave the Union), in order to prevent these states from turning south in anger.

After the outbreak of the Civil War

A considerable number of slaves volunteered to assist the Confederacy in their fight for freedom, but the generals of the Northern Army were still conflicting over what to do with the slaves in the occupied territories.

Under the Federal Fugitive Slaves Act of 1850, the shelter and use of these black slaves was a violation of the law and a violation of the property rights of Southern slave owners, and was an outright serious crime.

These fugitive black slaves had to return to their southern estates to be punished by white slave owners, a sacred and sacred right of white slave owners under the law.

Black slavery was not only present in the southern states of the United States, but also in the northern cities, including New York and Philadelphia, and it became natural for upper-class families to drive slaves to work and serve in order to maintain a superior and luxurious life.

Therefore, some northern generals chose to accept fugitive black slaves and assist the army in some logistical work. Some northern generals chose to imprison fugitive slaves on the grounds that;

A noble gentleman will not use stolen property.

After President James Buchanan issued the Emancipation Proclamation, some northern generals were dissatisfied with his policies, and there were even more than 10 mutinies and defections.

This left Admiral Ambrose Everett Burnside, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, who was preparing for a new general assault to the south, so he had to postpone the general offensive and free up his hands to pacify the army and suppress the disgruntled white officers.

In short, chicken feathers.

June 3, 1859

Vancouver

Under British rule, Vancouver was a small town of 2,300 people, and its development was very slow with the fur trade, whaling and timber harvesting.

Vancouver is located in the southwest of the British Canadian colony on the Pacific coast, and when the border between Britain and Tang was divided in 1847, because King Richard of the Tang Kingdom bribed the British upper echelons, London gave this world-class excellent ice-free seaport to the Tang Kingdom with a wave of his hand.

Vancouver is also ushering in a new period of development, with a straight line of only 198 kilometers from Seattle, the capital of the Northern Province, and about 242 kilometers by road, bypassing some lakes and mountains.

The most convenient transportation between the two places is by ship, basically boarding from Seattle at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, sleeping in the cabin, and arriving in Vancouver at 9 o'clock in the morning on the second day, which is very convenient.

After more than 10 years of development

Vancouver is still a third-tier city with a population of less than 60,000, and Seattle, the largest city in the north, is like a bottomless vortex that absorbs countless people and resources, causing the development of surrounding cities to be sluggish.

Early 1858

Lumberjacks discovered large gold deposits in Vancouver's Fraser River Valley, and the Tang Kingdom was experienced in gold panning, and for a time there were many followers, and Vancouver quickly prospered.

Only 4~5 months of effort

Vancouver has rapidly expanded from a third-tier city with a population of less than 60,000 to nearly 200,000, and gold prospectors from major coastal cities such as Los Angeles, Chang'an, Salem, Portland, and Seattle have frenzied.

More than 90 percent of these gold diggers are of Chinese descent, which is overwhelming, and less than 10 percent are white gold diggers.

No matter who has a dream in their hearts, they have a dream of getting rich overnight.

"When I saw Vancouver now, I thought of Chang'an City 10 years ago, when it was still called "San Francisco", it was a gold rush city full of adventures and dreams, and there was a strong smell of hormones everywhere. Hehe...... There is also the nostalgic poppy sourdough bread. ”

Outside of Vancouver

Sitting on the tall Suffolk thoroughblood, Richard looked at the snow-capped permafrost mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and now Vancouver gave him that kind of familiar feeling.

Today, Vancouver Bay is no longer called "Brenet Bay", but is affectionately called "Gold Coast" by the Chinese, which contains the dream of making a fortune that people covet, vulgar but simple and clear.

The Gold Coast has developed rapidly with many twists and turns, and many small and medium-sized shipyards can be seen along the coast.

These small and medium-sized shipyards do not produce and do not have the capacity to build large sea vessels, and most of them build tugboats, small and medium-sized passenger and cargo ships moving in the bay, fishing boats and barges of all kinds, and business seems to be quite good.

Tugboats are generally used to haul wooden rafts in the sea, these huge timber harvested from the nearby forests, often three or four people can not be embraced, most of them slide directly into the river from the slipway on the mountain, and then tie them into wooden rafts with ropes, and then use tugboats to tow them all the way south along the seashore to supply the major cities along the coast.

Some large wooden rafts stretch for several kilometers and need several tugboats to drag forward and backward, driving slowly, and it takes more than a month to sail south to Chang'an, so the demand for tugboats is quite large.

Lieutenant General Liu Wu (Liu Wu), who was beside His Majesty the King, also felt deeply that his life had undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten years, and he really couldn't imagine it!

Lieutenant General Liu Wu thought of the emotional place, a pair of tiger eyes couldn't help but moisten, and replied with a little choked up; "Your Majesty, I still remember following you around killing white people at that time, and I had no concept of the future in my heart, so I thought that one day at a time. Who would have thought that there would be today's high status, with no worries about food and clothing, and the family inheritance of the hereditary noble title, this journey is like a dream, it is really Your Majesty's holy grace! ”

"You...... Don't be a little woman, this is the glory and wealth you deserve for your efforts. Richard interrupted Lieutenant General Liu Wu's sentimentality with a smile, pointed at him with the leather whip in his hand, and said;

"You need to remember that you don't need to put much effort into it, you just need to serve the king wholeheartedly.

Depending on your level, you can only do this, and in the future, you will train the next generation to make them better, and the generation will be stronger than the next.

If there is a talent available, the king will not hesitate to draw it up and reuse it.

Speaking of which, you also have the old man who has followed me for the longest time, you and I are suitable for this life, wouldn't it be beautiful to share the glory? ”

"Your Majesty, Long En is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, and Liu Wu will not be able to repay it in this life." Hearing these words, Lieutenant General Liu Wu's heart was full of gratitude, and the tears in his eyes flickered, and he choked up more and more.

Richard smiled and shook his head; "Forget it, don't be as sentimental as a woman, you old man, go...... Hunt and go! ”

After speaking, he knocked his feet on the horse's belly and shouted "......", and galloped out first.

General Liu Wuzhong was only stunned for a moment, then immediately whipped him fiercely, chased after him tightly, and shouted in his mouth; "Your Majesty, please slow down......"

The cavalry of the Imperial Guard followed closely behind, and the roar of the horses' hooves was as powerful as thunder, galloping over the vast northern wilderness.
