1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 19 The Book of War
"This is a declaration of war on Brannan. It is too risky to do so. It will bring us death."

Henry, the president of the "California Daily" newspaper, held in his hand a wet manuscript with the headline: Who Stole Our Gold and Who Destroyed Our Homeland.
The content is even more shocking, directly pointing the root of all the chaos in California to the most wealthy and powerful man in California: Sam Brannan.

After reading this manuscript, Henry's hands trembled a little.

"If we don't declare war on him, won't there be a disaster of death? Don't forget, we have just experienced life and death, and they have just destroyed beautiful Sacramento!"

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If he wants to continue to develop and grow in California, Brannan's stumbling block has reached the point where he has to remove it. Even if he kicks his toe bone, he will kick this smelly and hard stumbling block away.

"This newspaper is distributed for free. Within three days, I want to see that everyone in San Francisco and Sacramento has this newspaper in their hands, and give it to me as a toilet paper!" Liang Yao I have already made up my mind to break the boat, "Not a single letter of the words above is allowed to be changed. If you change it, you should know the consequences."

"Yes, boss, I'll do it now."

Holding his nervously beating heart, Henry took the manuscript and left Liang Yao's devastated house.

With the help of the Security Committee to eliminate dissidents and eliminate competitors, San Francisco has become Brannan's small kingdom.

The price of commodities such as San Francisco gold mining tools and daily necessities depends not on their cost, nor on market supply and demand, but on Brannan's mood.

"Damn it, didn't half an ounce buy a shovel a week ago? Why do you need an ounce of gold to buy a shovel now? And the quality is getting worse and worse"

In Brannan's grocery store, a gold digger can't help but complain.Not only can they not find gold at such prices, but they even have to bear more debts.

"Sir, there are more and more gold on the market, so its value is naturally not that high. If you find it too expensive, please go elsewhere."

A newspaper tucked under his arm said the gunman, who wore the Vigilante Commission's prominent armband on his arm, said.

The gold digger had no choice but to shake his head, put the shovel back in its original place, and left Brannan's grocery store.

Brannan was in a good mood today. Although Brandon failed to get rid of Liang Yao, he also burned Sacramento, and many of Liang Yao's properties were also burned in this fire.

And he, Brannan, only paid 2000 ounces of gold for it.Undoubtedly, in this round of confrontation, he was the winner and caught his opponent by surprise.

It's a pity that Brannan's happy mood didn't last the whole day.

He saw today's "California Daily" from one of his hired gunmen, which can also be said to be a letter of war declared to him.

Brannan went to the fire and threw the newspaper into it, the flames blazing against his sullen face and those chilling, murderous eyes.

The free distribution of the "Journal of California" soon spread through the streets of San Francisco.

Whether it is an illiterate miner or a well-educated middle class, almost everyone has a share, because it does not cost money, and the quality of the paper is surprisingly good, and it can be used for other purposes even if it is not read.

The newspaper was soon in Fleger's hands as well.

Fleger knows that the "California Daily" is Liang Yao's mouthpiece, but there are not many newspapers that can be subscribed in the California area, not to mention that the content of the "California Daily" is novel and interesting, and it is also a very competitive newspaper in the eastern region. .

There is no opera house in California, no gathering salon among nobles, and reading newspapers has become one of the few ways of entertainment. There is no reason why Fleger should not subscribe to such a high-quality newspaper as the "California Daily".

"The righteous Sergeant Flagg has stated that there is zero tolerance for corrupt and depraved Mounties and that they will be brought to court to be punished under the laws of the United States.

At the same time, Sergeant Flagg also said that Sam Brannan, the villain who corrupted the Mounted Police behind the scenes, and his lackeys, the Vigilante Committee, should all be thrown into the cesspit to drown them, and the people should be given justice!Give California a bright future! "

When he read this sentence, Flegal felt a chill down his spine and trembled all over his body.

He didn't want to stand between Liang Yao and Brannan, neither of whom he wanted to offend.What he wanted was stability in the California region, and he, Fleger, was able to take advantage of both of them, taking advantage of both of them.

As for the policing mess in San Francisco and Sacramento, leave it to his successor.

There is no doubt that this newspaper will make his personal image very stalwart in the eyes of all Californians, and will also push him to the cusp of conflict.

Fleger could no longer walk between the two wealthiest people in California. He had to stand in line directly. He didn't even have a choice but to stand on Liang Yao's side.

He received a large amount of gold from Liang Yao, and Brannan knew about his close relationship with Liang Yao.Although this newspaper is exaggerated, the content in it is also true and false. Lies with true content are easy to believe.

"I thought Brannan was enough of an asshole, but I didn't expect that little bastard Liang Yao to be even more asshole than Brannan."

The furious Frege couldn't help talking to himself, wishing he could rush to Liang Yao and beat him up right now.

This damn guy, if he goes out in the future, he will have to be careful if there is a gun pointed at him in the dark.For a villain like Brannan who dared to blatantly trample on the laws of the United States in full view, it was absolutely possible to assassinate the sheriff.

"Oh, dear, please don't say that, Mr. Liang is a very good man."

Flage's wife did not agree with Flage's point of view, which made Flage furious.

"Did you take that bastard's gold again?"

"I swear to the Lord, I have never accepted anyone's gold, and I will always keep your account in mind."

Flagg was in no mood to quarrel with his ignorant wife, grabbed the newspaper and rushed out the door angrily.

"But I took his dollars, and I had no other choice. The prices in San Francisco are too expensive. You are the sheriff. If the sheriff's wife lives in a dishonorable way, the whole of San Francisco will despise us. I am also for your own good, I hope you can forgive me, dear."

After Flage left, Mrs. Flage murmured in a low voice, trying to convince herself.

　It's time to test the waters, and the current results are terrible, but I have long been mentally prepared, after all, the subject matter is unpopular, and my level is also very limited.

　　The new book is stable and has two updates. I ask everyone for follow-up reading. Follow-up reading can determine the life and death of a new book that hits the street. Thank you!
