Emperor Richard led a group of cavalry to gallop for a few days, and had a good time, reliving the memories of the past when he led the cavalry of the Tang Empire to rush down the Colorado Plateau 15 years ago and wreak havoc in the white towns of the Great Plains of Central North America, full of a sense of conquest filled his chest.

Either don't do it, or do it and do a full set.

In Dallas, His Majesty the Emperor's imperial camp was stationed outside the town, maintaining a high-alert state of field camping.

The next day

His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage came to the former Cedar Mountain Battlefield, which was the old battlefield of General Sherman's main force that retreated from the Southern Corps in early 1860, and was also one of the important battles that laid the foundation for the complete victory of the Western Front.

In 1859, Sherman, a major of the Northern Army, sent troops from Tennessee to attack Zorchia, occupied Atlanta, and marched to the sea.

He faithfully implemented the "scorched earth policy" all the way, destroying the three wealthy states of Zozhia, South Carolina, and Texas, burning countless fields and houses, burning dozens of towns, and burning almost half of the Confederate States of America with scorched earth, committing countless grave crimes.

It is on this battlefield

The Southern Corps outmaneuvered the enemy with an unstoppable assault, and now in the lush grass and bushes, white bones and pieces of clothes can still be found everywhere, and rusty buttons or iron shoe studs can be found at the slightest grab.

If you're lucky, you'll find a rusty sword.

His Majesty the Emperor set up a three-animal altar here, and invited more than 120 monks to open the altar to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the empire who died here, and to surpass those ownerless souls.

On the wilderness

The cold wind of November swept through the wilderness and made an incomprehensible whimper, as if the cry and wailing of tens of thousands of souls wandering back here, which made people feel their scalps tingle when they heard it.

Even the dozen or so tall silver wolves beside the emperor couldn't stop howling in the sky, which made Richard's brows tighten, and he commanded cautiously;

"From now on, governments across the country are ordered to organize groups of monks, Taoist priests and Protestant priests to go to major battlefields to hold excessive pujas, and to build temples, Taoist temples and churches to pay tribute to the dead. In addition, in the provinces, the construction of martyrs' shrines, water and land dojos, pagodas and other sacrificial buildings to calm the people's hearts and pay tribute to the souls of the dead. ”

"Wechen obeys." Zheng Yuan received the order awe-inspiringly.

Most of the people in this era were very superstitious, and Chinese immigrants either believed in Buddhism or Taoism, so there were temples, Taoist temples or churches in villages and towns all over the empire, and the religious atmosphere was very strong.

Richard himself crossed into this world without knowing it, and there was more awe and less indifference to the supernatural mysterious power in his heart, and there was no need to have more complications if he could solve it with some money.

In the imperial military family, the most popular is to set up His Majesty's shrine and pay respectful incense sacrifices every day, which is really inviolable and taboo-free.

His Majesty the Emperor has been mythologized in the minds of the people of the empire, and he is really an invincible and invincible generation of Shengwu Emperors, who has opened up a huge imperial territory, which is a hundred times more effective than Guan Erye, of course, he must be respectfully worshipped.

This trend has spread to the people, and now every household in the imperial country will present His Majesty's royal photo in the hall, praying for blessings and good weather, and the health of the family.

Back to the point

After commemorating the Cedar Mountain battlefield, His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage, escorted by the royal cuirassiers, prepared to go to Dallas to take the royal train patent of the Southern Railroad and continue the inspection journey of the remaining southern provinces.

In the distance, a group of about a dozen caravans migrated by, and the cuirassiers separated them from a distance, and the immigrants who got off the caravan looked at the mighty and majestic royal cavalry with a look of disbelief, and suddenly someone blurted out; "God, it's the Holy Driver's Arrival, I'll hurry up and kneel down to greet you."

After speaking, he knelt in a hula.

Emperor Richard frowned when he saw it from a distance, and softly ordered Director Zheng Yuan to say a few words, only to see Director Zheng Yuan nodding like pounding garlic, and soon led a few cavalrymen to meet him.

Director Zheng Yuan asked all these migrants to stand up, and the Tang Empire abolished the kneeling salute, even if you see His Majesty the Emperor, you only need to bow and salute, and you don't need to bow to worship.

Then, he came back with two middle-aged people who seemed to be the leader, and came to His Majesty's palace to introduce; "Your Majesty, these are the two people in charge of the migration family, one is called Lin Ada, and the other is called Hu San from the Hu family, both of them have the experience of retired veterans, one is 51 years, and the other is 53 years, both from Colorado Province, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to ask."

Director Zheng Yuan's words were concise and concise, and he introduced the experience of these people in just a few sentences.

Emperor Richard stared at this, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his lips; "A 51-year, a 53-year retired veteran, that should have participated in the battle for the founding of the country."

"Back to the saint, the little Lin Adaa once served in the Sixth Cavalry Regiment in Los Angeles, this Hu San is a retired soldier of the Royal San Francisco Cuirassier Regiment, all of whom have followed His Majesty to participate in the Battle of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and also participated in the First Northern War.

"Huh...... It turns out that it's all my old department, and my life over the years is still satisfactory? Have you been bullied or unfair? ”

"If you go back to the saint, the little Lin Adaa and his fellow brother Hu San are both retired officers and soldiers, and they are members of the Colorado Linshui Veterans Association.

"Oh...... That's good. Richard replied mildly, then pointed to them and the dozen or so caravans behind him, and asked; If that is the case, then why would you give up your comfortable life and travel all the way south to Texas in search of a way out? ”

Lin Adaa and Hu San above heard His Majesty's question, and couldn't help but turn their heads and look at each other. "You...... You go back, you go back. ”

Director Zheng Yuan, who was standing beside him, coughed lightly, reminding the two of them to pay attention to the etiquette in front of the emperor, and he was also a little curious in his heart, the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, why should he migrate at home?

After all, he is a retired soldier, this Lin Adaa is still a person with some knowledge, and he is quite organized when he speaks, he replied respectfully; "Your Majesty Lao asked, and the grass people didn't dare to hide it, in fact, it was all caused by me waiting for the little cubs in the family to give birth to too much."

"Oh...... Hehehe, I would like to hear about it. Richard laughed when he heard this, and the surrounding Royal Janissaries looked much more relaxed and smiled faintly.

I only listened to this Lin Ah Da respectfully reported;

"Thanks to His Majesty, after the grass people retired, they were allocated 27 acres of meritorious land, which is almost equivalent to 155 acres in their hometown, and the grass people have a family of 5, two Caucasian wives and concubines, and two Indian maids.

It's no wonder that the villain didn't hold back, and later took the two Indian maids as concubines, and these four women have given birth to 19 children to me one after another over the years, the eldest is already twelve or thirteen years old and can set up a household, and the younger one is still in his arms.

My fellow villager Hu San is more than me, and I have 22 children.

Although it is said that the family gets up early and works late without worrying about food and clothing, but seeing that the children are getting older day by day, they are all people who want to start a family and start a business in the future, and they can eat and eat well by relying on the meritorious field rewarded by the saints, but what does it cost to dress and live? If you want to live a good life, you have to think differently.

On our Colorado Plateau, the meritorious fields are next to each other, and they are all relied on for a lifetime, and I have basically never heard of any family willing to sell the fields.

This is not a small group of people heard that the empire encourages immigrants to Texas, and each immigrant can buy 10 acres of land at a discount below the market price, and there is no upper limit on the purchase at the market price, so several old brothers are excited.

When you drink, you will make a total in private, and you will simply not do anything.

I sold all the fields and houses in Colorado, and then borrowed a large sum of money from the bank to go south to Texas to buy a big field by the river, and it was enough to toss it in the future.

in accordance with preferential policies;

This small family preferential policy can buy 240 acres, and with the savings from selling the house and land and taking out loans, it is almost enough to raise the money for 500 acres of land.

In such a big place, I am not afraid to give birth to cubs in the future.

We were going to buy together, build houses with each other, and take care of grazing or something, so we went all the way south. ”

"I see, but aren't you afraid of robbers with so much money?" Richard's expression suddenly dawned, and he continued to ask with interest.

Lin replied with a proud chest; "If you go back to the Holy Place, we really don't think about any horse bandits, in the early years you could still see sporadic white horse bandits on the Colorado Plateau, but now they have almost completely disappeared. Our families are all people who have been soldiers, the older cubs are also adults, they are very skilled in riding horses and guns, this team can also make up more than 30 cavalry, and it is hard to meet dozens of horse bandits, and the imperial soldiers do not have the word "retreat". ”

"Hehehe...... Well, this is not as good as the word "retreat"! Richard smiled happily, turned his head and instructed Admiral Liu Wu; Arrange a team of cavalry to escort them, be prepared! In addition, they contacted officials from nearby villages and towns to help them settle down and come back. If there are any difficulties in economy or life, I can also help solve them, after all, it is my old department, so I always have to have some incense? ”

Speaking of which

Richard looked at Lin Adaa and Hu San with a warm expression, and said softly; "Since meeting is fate, I will reward each of you with 300 acres of land, and the family will live a good life in the future, hehe...... Giving birth to more cubs. ”

"The grass people and others thank Your Majesty for your grace." Lin Adaa and Hu San knelt down gratefully, their hearts filled with infinite joy.

"Let's go!" Richard waved his hand, and the packed ranks of the Royal Janissaries departed one by one, leaving only the two joyful caravan emigration leaders and a troop of cavalry not far away.

This was only an inconsequential episode during Emperor Richard's inspection, but it had a profound impact on these immigrant families.
