1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 21: Brannan and his eagle dogs

"When it comes to my safety and the safety of my family, I will not make such a hasty decision. Google search to read"

The war between Liang Yao and Brannan is a life-and-death war. Flagg still wants to be an outsider and does not want to be involved in the dispute between them.

Flagg came to see Liang Yao today firstly to vent his anger, and secondly to find out Liang Yao's attitude and see if there was still a possibility for Liang Yao and Brannan to shake hands and make peace.

If this was possible, he wouldn't mind acting as a peacemaker and letting them stay quiet for at least a year and a half.

In this way, he can use this year and a half to apply for transfer to other places. The gold he has accumulated is enough for him to live a more decent life in the eastern region than his grandfather. He didn't want to continue wading in the murky waters of California.

Although Deng Yan could not understand the conversation between Liang Yao and Flagg, watching Flagg walk away, Deng Yan also knew that Flagg's attitude was still wavering and he did not choose to join forces with them rashly.

He thought of the scene when he first met Flagg. Flagg had a loaded pistol in his hand from the beginning to the end after he entered the mining area. Among the several mounted policemen who entered the mining area, he was the only one who kept his index finger on the trigger. Up, ready to fire at any time.

It's not easy to pull a person who cares about his life so much into the water.

"This person is extremely cautious in what he does. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win him over to our side with just one newspaper."

"Second uncle, in your opinion, what kind of person is this Flagg?"

Liang Yao was not disappointed with Flagg's departure. He had already arranged everything and Flagg was under his control. It won't be long before Flagg and Brannan are completely at odds.

"A person who is greedy for money and cherishes his life. Logically speaking, such a person is unreliable, but he still has some principles, so it's okay to deal with him based on this."

Deng Yan pondered for a moment and then gave Flag a rough evaluation.

"What you say makes sense. My second uncle is quite right in judging people. Greed for money and sparing life is Flagg's weakness. As long as we firmly grasp these two weaknesses of his, he can be used for us."

Liang Yao nodded. Deng Yan's evaluation of Flagg was very objective. His views on Flagg coincided with Deng Yan's.

Newspapers that exaggerated the gold rush in San Francisco even praised it as a city built on gold, and they were extremely complimentary.

If the writers of those newspaper articles were to visit San Francisco in person, their jaws would be shocked and their imagination of this golden city would be destroyed.

The buildings in this city are in disarray, and the potholed muddy roads are covered with dense new and old ruts. People dump sewage and excrement in front of their doors at will, making the city full of mosquitoes and flies.

Of course, not all places in San Francisco are like this. The exquisite seaside manor on the edge of the city seems particularly out of place in San Francisco. It is clean, tidy and spacious, and seems so out of tune with everything around it.

Lighting is still a very luxury thing in this era. After nightfall, the city of São Francisco was quickly swallowed up by darkness, but the manor was still brightly lit under the lights lit with whale oil.

There is no doubt that the owner of this estate is Sam Brannan, the richest man in California.

Limited by Brannan's own aesthetic, the decoration of the manor is very tacky, but its level of luxury is outrageous. Here, in addition to tableware, you can find any gold products and decorations.

The reason Brannan used silver for tableware was simply that silver was lighter than gold and easier to use.

A grand dinner was being held in the manor, and the attendees were undoubtedly Brannan's eagle dogs.

Carnival is not the theme of today's dinner. Brannan gathered his eagle dogs here to discuss how to deal with Liang Yao, the annoying guy who took away their cake.

"Liang Yao's existence is a huge threat to us. The gold in California should belong to us, not those yellow-skinned monkeys. These inferior people should become our slaves like black slaves, but now, they are taking away us of gold!”

Brannan wielded the staff of civilization and inspected his eagles and dogs like a king.

"That's right! These locusts are stealing our California!"

"Only we are the masters of this land. Even if those yellow-skinned monkeys become naturalized, their inferior skin color will not change. We are the real American citizens!"

"If California becomes a slave state, I would be willing to spend some money to buy some yellow-skinned monkeys to serve as slaves. Although they are not as strong as the black slaves I saw in South Carolina, they work very hard. This will It would be a very good deal.”

"It's a good idea. Their women are much more attractive than the female black slaves, especially Liang Yao's sister, who is very attractive to me."

Seeing that the emotions of these eagle dogs were aroused, Brannan smiled with satisfaction and motioned for them to sit down.

"You must have read this newspaper, right? This is not a newspaper, but a naked provocation! It is a declaration of war!"

Brannan waved the Daily Californian in his hand.

"Chief Flagg is a scum! He actually got mixed up with a yellow-skinned monkey!" Nelson, the captain of the security team, stood up angrily and expressed his stance, "If you want to teach Chief Flagg a lesson, as the security captain, I will do my duty. "

The Security Council was an organization established by Brannan personally, and the government did not grant them security powers. But everyone present had long considered themselves the Sheriff of San Francisco.

This Nelson even used the title of captain of the security team on his lips to show his status to other hawks.

"No, this is a conspiracy." Brannan said, "Liang Yao, that damn yellow-skinned monkey, is trying to instigate my close relationship with Chief Flagg. I know Chief Flagg's character very well, and I believe it." He is innocent."

Brannan's hawks and dogs obviously didn't have enough brains to follow Brannan's thoughts, and stayed on the ground looking at each other.

"Flag did put all the Mounties in Sacramento under house arrest. And yesterday, he went to Sacramento. He must have been plotting some shady thing with Liang Yao."

said tool shop owner Roberts.

When Flagg first arrived, he asked for a lot of protection money under various pretexts, and many of his subordinates came to his tool shop to steal money. Roberts very much hopes that Brannan can take this opportunity to repair Flagg and teach Flagg a lesson.

"Putting the Sacramento policemen under house arrest is just a show of force. Chief Flag's men are close friends and fellow countrymen with him, and we will definitely not make things difficult for them.

As for Chief Flagg going to Sacramento, I also know that. I also know that Chief Flagg went there with anger, and he must have gone to question Liang Yaoxing. "

These eagle dogs were not very smart, so Brannan had to patiently guide them and let them follow their own ideas.

“Chief Flagg is also a white man, he is one of us, and we should unite to deal with those yellow-skinned monkeys.

There is a misunderstanding between Chief Flagg and me. When Chief Flagg comes back, I will personally visit Chief Flagg to eliminate the misunderstanding between us.

If we regard Chief Flagg as an enemy, we will have fallen into Liang Yao's trap. "

Brannan didn't want to make too many enemies and pushed Flagg against him. As long as Flagg was on his side or remained neutral, he could accept it.

He and Flagg had no direct financial conflict. As long as Flagg did not side with Liang Yao and become his enemy, Brannan was still willing to pay some gold price for it.

According to his judgment, a large part of the content in the "California Daily" was fabricated by Liang Yao. Flagg, a cautious guy, would not say such cruel things as drowning Brannan and the members of the Public Security Committee in a manure pit. Such harsh words are inconsistent with Flagg's usual style.

Obviously, this is Liang Yao's conspiracy and trap, and he will not fall for it easily.

"The next thing you have to do is burn down all the stores of those yellow-skinned monkeys in San Francisco. They have no right to this wealth. Go, masters of California, and take back your wealth!

Confining those yellow-skinned monkeys, whether they are men or women, will become our slaves and our property! "
