1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 24 Lawless
"Since Brannan can openly set up a so-called security committee in San Francisco, why can't we?" Liang Yao decided to repay him in the same way.

"That's a way. Your idea is to set up the Sacramento Sheriff's Committee to fight against Brannan?"

Robinson admitted that this was a good idea, but he also became vigilant: whether Liang Yao would become the next Brannan, this was his concern.

It's just that this issue is not the most important right now. The most urgent issue now is how to eliminate the threat of Brannan's Sheriff's Committee to the Sacramento gold mining area.

Brannan is not just trying to grab gold, but threatening their lives.It is clear at a glance which of the two is more important.

"Brannan's roots are in San Francisco. The population of San Francisco is far larger than that of Sacramento. It is also the largest commodity distribution center in California. It gathers more wealth than Sacramento. Sacramento alone cannot shake Brannan. status."

Liang Yao walked to the window, put his hands in his pockets, looked at the crowds on Sacramento Street, and said thoughtfully.

Sacramento is developing at a high speed, but it cannot surpass San Francisco in a short period of time.Moreover, limited by location factors, the upper limit of Sacramento's future development will not be higher than that of San Francisco, and San Francisco is an unavoidable and must-see place.

"Dr. Robinson, I know you have a good reputation in San Francisco."

The city of Sacramento was created by himself. Liang Yao has absolute authority and influence in Sacramento, but in San Francisco his influence is limited to the Chinese circle in San Francisco, and the Chinese in San Francisco are in San Francisco. Francisco has no right to speak.

"You mean I should contact my friends in San Francisco?"

Robinson walked to the window with the difference. Sacramento does not have any tall buildings. From Liang Yao's office on the third floor, he could have a panoramic view of the small city of Sacramento.

"Yes, only if we infiltrate our influence into San Francisco, we gold diggers have any hope of defeating Brannan. Brannan is not an idler. California gold seekers need to unite."

"I'll do what I can, but I have to remind you that organizations like the Sheriff's Council need government authorization."

Robinson is a good citizen who obeys the law, but he is not a stubborn person who sticks to the rules.

A strong state government is naturally the best way to solve the mess in California.But now the statehood of California is still far away, and these gold mining companies and organizations can only rely on themselves if they want to survive here.

"But now California is still in a state of anarchy, isn't it?" Liang Yao said, "Even if the state government is established, the first choice of the sheriff is the local famous and wealthy gentry, and the state government will give priority to administrative costs. Consider these people to maintain order on the ground."

"That's true. I didn't expect you to know so much about these things after you have been in the United States for a few months." Robinson sighed.

"China's Qing government also did the same thing. Many ideas of politicians are always connected, and there is no national border."

In the 19th century, when the level of science and technology was still backward, the administrative cost of governing a big country was very high, especially the Qing Dynasty and the United States, which had a vast territory and a relatively large population, and the problems they had to face were very complicated.The city-state democracy of a small country with few people will not work here.

The eastern part of the United States is in good condition due to its early development and relative development. However, for the newly developed central and western regions, the United States basically appoints powerful immigrant leaders to manage these newly developed areas more effectively.

"I'm just a doctor, a gold digger, and I'm not interested in these things. You need to set up a committee to protect the legal rights of the gold diggers. I will support you unconditionally, but the existence of the committee is limited to safeguarding the legal rights of the gold diggers."

Robinson showed his attitude. He was not opposed to the establishment of something similar to a security committee, but the security committee must serve the interests of the gold diggers.

Robinson's words made Liang Yao believe that this person might indeed be a relatively pure doctor and gold digger, at least for now he is such a person.In other words, other people have to bargain with him, discuss who will be the chairman of the committee after it is established, and how to distribute the power of the committee, etc., but Robinson has never mentioned these things.

Flage returned to San Francisco, and his mounted police reported to Flage what had happened in San Francisco in the past two days.

The peace committee became more and more rampant, and the docile Chinese in San Francisco also took up arms to defend their shops and properties, and there were sporadic exchanges of fire with the peace committee.

Fortunately, the current exchange of fire is still within a controllable range.

This situation is definitely not what Fleger wants to see, maybe it's time for Brannan and Liang Yao to sit down and have a peaceful talk.

But soon, this idea of ​​Fleige dissipated, because his subordinates told him a very unfortunate news.

"People from the security committee broke into your home and smashed it, and they also ransacked your valuables"

After hesitating again and again, the mounted police told Flaige the unfortunate news, so that Flaige could be mentally prepared when he returned home.

This news was like a thunderbolt to Flaige. This matter had hit his bottom line, and he was furious.

"What are you doing?! Let those bastards ransack my house?! How is my wife? Where is she now?!"

"We were so busy policing San Francisco that no one could have imagined that the Sheriff's Committee would have the audacity to openly ransack your home, Sheriff.

Thankfully your wife is fine, we have secured her, she is safe now, she was just intimidated, a little bit spooked."

"Is this luck too? What is a Sheriff's Council?! Fuck the Sheriff's Council! Take me to Ephrida, my God, she's never been through anything like this before, and it's all my fault, I shouldn't be in Sacramento, I should be with Ephrida."

Flag felt very guilty. He returned to the messy home non-stop. As soon as her wife saw Flag, she immediately jumped on him and cried into tears.

"My God, dear you are back, I thought I would never see you again."

Flegian hugged her wife tightly, patted Ephrida's back and comforted: "No, Ephrida, we swore in the church that we will stay together for the rest of our lives. .”

"The men with the vigilante armbands took our gold, bank notes, gold coins, dollars, and everything of value, and we have nothing now"

Thinking of the looted wealth, Ephrida's heart ached, and she cried more and more.

Fleger comforted Averida and sat down on the sofa: "No, how can I have nothing? My dear, you are my everything. As long as you are here, we will not have nothing."

"Oh no"

Everida buried her head in Flegal's solid and reliable arms.

"Tell me my dear, what do those gangsters look like? I will bring all these villains and bastards to justice!" Flage patted Ephrida on the shoulder lightly.

"I don't know, they suddenly rushed into our house, all covered their heads with hoods, only two eyes were exposed, then they tied me up, blindfolded me, I only heard the sound of them rummaging through boxes , I don’t know anything else.”

Ephrida tried her best to recall the details at that time, the gangsters didn't show their faces, and he couldn't see the features of the gangsters clearly, but she clearly remembered that there was a gangster wearing the armband of the Security Committee, and the leader of the gangster was still there. The gangster with the armband was taught a lesson, and he was told to hide the armband quickly in an attempt to hide his identity, but all this had been noted down by the clever Ephrida.

"A gangster came in with the armband of the Security Council! He wanted to cover it up! Fortunately, I saw it!" Ephrida was very emotional, "It must be Brannan! Looting the police Chang’s family, he is the only one in California who dares to do such an outrageous thing.”

"Did they still threaten you?"

"Yes, they asked me to tell you not to say something you shouldn't say, and to take care of things you shouldn't care about. They also said that their behavior was not robbery, but just taking back the property that belonged to them. They also said that your words and deeds It’s something like that that I don’t quite understand.”

Thinking of those properties, Ephrida couldn't help crying again, she pointed to the scar on her neck and said.

"They also roughly ripped my necklace from my neck. It was a gift from my mother when we got married, and it was snatched by these robbers."

"Okay, Everida, you need to take a good rest. I swear to you, I will bring those thugs to justice. I am the sheriff of San Francisco. If my wife can't protect me, I will How to protect the people of San Francisco."

In his rage, Fleger has lost the ability to think calmly. In San Francisco, he can turn a blind eye to anyone who is hurt, except his family. He wants to let those villains who hurt his family Pay double the price.
