1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 21 Brannan and His Falcons

"It's about me and my family's safety, and I will not make a decision so hastily."

The war between Liang Yao and Brannan was a life-and-death war, and Flegal still wanted to be an outsider and didn't want to get involved in their disputes.

Fleger came to see Liang Yao today firstly to vent his anger, and secondly to find out Liang Yao's attitude and see if there is any possibility of Liang Yao and Brannan shaking hands and making peace.

If there is such a possibility, he doesn't mind acting as a peacemaker to let them stop 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, and the gold he has accumulated is enough for him to live a more decent life than his grandfather in the eastern region.He didn't want to continue wading through this muddy water in California.

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

He thought of the scene when he first met Fleige. Fleege was holding a loaded pistol tightly in his hand from the beginning to the end after entering the mining area. Among the several mounted policemen who entered the mine area, he was the only one who kept his index finger on the trigger. Come on, ready to fire.

For such a life-saving person, it is not easy to drag him into the water.

"This person is extremely cautious in doing things. It may be difficult to pull him to our side with just a newspaper."

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

Liang Yao was not disappointed about Fleige's departure, he had already arranged everything, and Fleige was under his control.It won't be long before Flagg and Brannan will be completely torn apart.

"A person who is greedy for money and cherishes his life, it stands to reason that such a person is unreliable, but he still has some principles, so it doesn't hurt to deal with him based on this."

After pondering for a moment, Deng Yan gave Flaige a rough evaluation.

"It's reasonable. The second uncle is accurate in judging people. Greed for money and life are Flaige's weakness. As long as we hold on to his two weaknesses, he can be used by us."

Liang Yao nodded. Deng Yan's evaluation of Flaige was very objective, and his opinion of Flaige coincided with Deng Yan's.

Newspapers that played up San Francisco's gold rush even hailed it as a city built on gold.

Had the writers of those newspaper articles been to see San Francisco for themselves, their jaws would have dropped and their imaginations of the city of gold would have been destroyed.

The buildings in this city are disorganized, the muddy roads with potholes are covered with dense old and new ruts, and people randomly dump sewage and excrement in front of the door, so that the city is 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 is particularly abrupt in San Francisco. It is clean, tidy and spacious, and it looks so out of place with everything around it.

Lighting is still a luxury in this day and age.After nightfall, the city of San Francisco was quickly engulfed in darkness, but the estate was still brightly lit with whale oil lights.

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

Limited by Brannan's own aesthetics, the decoration of the manor is very tacky, but its luxury is outrageous. Here, except for tableware, you can find any gold products and decorations.

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

A grand dinner party is being held in the manor, and the participants are undoubtedly Brannan's eagle dogs.

Carnival is not the theme of today's dinner. The purpose of Brannan gathering his hawk dogs here is to discuss how to deal with Liang Yao, a nuisance 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 be our slaves like black slaves, but now, they are robbing us gold!"

Brannan inspected his hawks like a king with his staff of civilization.

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

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

"If California were to become a slave state, I'd like to pay some money to buy some yellow monkeys as slaves. They are not as strong as the niggers I saw in South Carolina, but they work very hard. It will It will be a very good deal.”

"It's a good idea. Their women are much more attractive than female black slaves, especially Liang Yao's younger sister, which is very to my liking."

Seeing that the emotions of these eagle dogs had been mobilized, Brannan smiled with satisfaction and motioned them to sit down.

"This newspaper, you must have read it? This is not a newspaper, but a naked provocation! It is a declaration of war!"

Brannan waved the Journal of California in his hands.

"Sergeant Flage is simply a scum! He got involved with the yellow-skinned monkey!" The captain of the security team, Nelson, stood up angrily and said, "If you want to teach Sheriff Flage a lesson, as the captain of the security team, I will do my part. "

The Security Committee is an organization established by Brannan himself, and the government has not granted them security powers.But those present had long regarded themselves as the sheriff of San Francisco.

This Nelson even talked about the title of captain of the security team to show his status to other eagle dogs.

"No, it's a conspiracy." Brannan said, "Liang Yao, that damned yellow-skinned monkey, is trying to stir up the close relationship between me and Sheriff Flag. I know what Sheriff Flag is like, and I believe He is innocent."

Brannan's hawk dogs obviously didn't have enough brains, they didn't keep up with Brannan's train of thought, and stayed where they were, looking at each other.

"Fleger did put all the mounted policemen in Sacramento under house arrest, and he went to Sacramento yesterday. He must have conspired with Liang Yao for some shady business."

Tool store owner Roberts said.

When Fleige first took office, he demanded a lot of protection money from him in various names, and his subordinates also came to his tool shop to steal sheep.Roberts very much hoped that Brannan could take this opportunity to fix Flagg well and teach him a lesson.

"The Sacramento Mounted Police is only for show, those subordinates of Sergeant Flagg and he are close friends and fellow countrymen, and they will definitely not embarrass them.

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

The brains of these eagle dogs were not enough, so Brannan had to patiently guide them and let them follow their own train of thought.

"Sheriff Flagg is also white, he is part of us, we should unite and deal with those yellow monkeys together.

The misunderstanding between Sergeant Flage and I, when Sergeant Flage comes back, I will personally visit Sheriff Flage to clear up the misunderstanding between us.

If we regard Sergeant Flagg as an enemy, we will fall into Liang Yao's trap. "

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

He and Flaige had no direct economic conflict. As long as Flaige didn't stand on Liang Yao's side and become an enemy of him, 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, and that cautious fellow Flegg would not say that he wanted to drown Brannan and the members of the Security Committee in a cesspit. Such ruthless words are inconsistent with Fleige's usual style.

Obviously, this is Liang Yao's conspiracy and trap, and he will not fall into the bait easily.

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

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