1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 37 Attack on Brannan's Manor
Cai Laixi, Cai Mingsheng's 6-year-old son, was hanged in San Francisco Square.

Hanged on the same gallows that once hanged Brannan's rival Jenkins.

In this ridiculous and shameless act, Brannan was swearing his claim to the city that no longer existed.

This time he hanged not his rival, but an innocent child.

Brannan is now a lunatic with no lower limit.

With a heavy heart, Liang Yao removed Cai Laixi's cold body from the gallows.

Cai Mingsheng wandered half his life, hanging alone overseas to survive, and having a son in old age was his greatest comfort.

Cai Laixi's death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Cai Mingsheng, an honest and kind person.

He dotes on his son very much on weekdays, and he is reluctant to beat and scold him when he makes a mistake. He didn't think that today, the child would suffer such cruel hands.

"Uncle Cai, Laixi's hatred is our hatred."

Liang Yao knelt down, comforting this fellow villager who had helped him when he first set foot on this foreign land.He could understand Cai Mingsheng's pain.

Cai Mingsheng was so distraught that he passed out from crying on the spot.

Liang Yao carried Cai Mingsheng on his back, and after he settled Cai Mingsheng, he issued an order to all the armed men in San Francisco: wipe out San Francisco, attack Brannan's estate, and personally bring the murderer to justice!

Since Brannan chooses to resolve the conflict in the most primitive way of violence, he will help Brannan.

More than [-] armed men quickly assembled.

This is a very large armed force in the western United States in peacetime.

Sven, who had just returned from the port, ignored the fatigue caused by the long-distance voyage. When he heard that Brannan's manor was going to be attacked, he hurriedly sent someone to dismantle two naval guns he had just bought in Mexico from the ship. Boxes of ammunition excitedly joined the army attacking Brannan's Seaside Manor.

All of a sudden, gunshots broke out in the city of San Francisco, and Liang Yao led his armed men to hunt down Brannan's hired gunmen and gang forces loyal to Brannan in the city.

All commerce in the commercial city ceased, and the citizens of San Francisco skilfully fled the city lest they invite unwarranted disaster.

The San Francisco police were originally on Liang Yao's side, and they had no intention or ability to stop this conflict.

Apart from sending someone to inform Flaige who was still in the military fortress of this important news, there was no other action.

As for the sheriff of San Francisco, Colonel Griffin is now serving concurrently. Colonel Griffin has an army and can calm down this conflict.

All they can do now is to stay in the police station and not participate in this conflict, so as not to change the nature of the conflict.

"Thirteen were killed, and thirty-two were caught alive, what should we do?"

The scale of San Francisco City is not large now, and it took less than three hours to clear San Francisco City.

Deng Yan asked Liang Yao how to deal with these prisoners.

"Send it to the police station, and treat it as a gift from me to Fleige and those mounted policemen."

After all, Brannan's hired gunmen and gang members are nothing more than a mob. They are far from the level of organization, combat effectiveness and fighting will of the bandit Brandon, who was once a professional soldier.

Liang Yao's armed force suffered very little casualties in the suppression of San Francisco City. Up to now, only two armed guards and four armed Chinese clans were killed.

Liang Yao glanced at it. The streets and alleys criss-crossed, and the situation in the urban area of ​​San Francisco was very complicated.

There must be fish that slipped through the net, but this is harmless. The remaining fish that slipped through the net are already frightened, and they will not pose a threat to his next attack on Brannan's coastal manor.

His subordinates are far less familiar with the streets and lanes of San Francisco than these defeated soldiers who have lived in San Francisco for a long time.

Hastily in-depth suppression will cause greater casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Liang Yao ordered the clans to regroup and follow him to Brannan's Seaside Manor.

A team of more than [-] people marched to Brannan's luxurious manor located in the seaside area.

At this time, the manor was already in chaos. Brannan issued guns to everyone in the manor, whether it was the housekeeper, the groom, the cook or even the maid, and ordered them to defend the manor to the death.

Brannan didn't expect Liang Yao to react so fiercely. Brannan, who was already a bit insane, also lost the ability to think calmly in the face of the sudden counterattack.

Little Brannan, who was barely able to walk on the ground, learned of Brannan's stupid behavior, and his wounds burst from anger, and his blood pressure soared.

He couldn't believe his always brilliant brother would do such a foolish and reckless move.

Harassing women and children will undoubtedly push them to the opposite of all Californians, and the public opinion that is already inclined to Liang Yao will completely side with Liang Yao.

Liang Yaoda can punish them from the commanding heights of morality, and the public will be tolerant of Liang Yao's behavior.

And they, the Brannans, will get nothing.

He didn't understand why his elder brother became so irrational, just to satisfy that competitive heart and fight for the so-called illusory anger?

"we lose."

Little Brannan's heart was ashamed. No matter how this matter ended today, whether Liang Yao could take down this fortress-like manor was meaningless to them.

Even if they can survive by luck, there will be no place for them in San Francisco in the future.

In the war between them, the moment Brannan ordered the black hands to be extended to the Chinese women and children, and the moment Cai Laixi was hanged on the gallows, the outcome was already decided.

Brannan successfully ignited the anger in the hearts of Liang Yao and all the Chinese in California and even the entire public.

Brannan gets an outlet, but he loses everything.

Now they don't even have room to negotiate with Liang Yao.

Brannan built his private estate like a fortress, impregnable and daunting.

Even if the same number of professional soldiers came to attack this manor, I am afraid that they would retreat.

"Even if you lose your teeth, I will gnaw this manor down!"

Liang Yao gave the order to die, and now his subordinates are excited. Even if they don't use money to stimulate them, they can still maintain a very high morale and fighting will.

Especially the armed men of the Chinese clan, who had long been sulking at Brannan, and just had no place to vent it.

"Your Excellency, the cannon has been loaded! Do you want to fire?!"

Sven seemed to be a very fanatical militant. He had already ordered the sailors to load the cannon, and asked Liang Yao whether to fire the cannon.

"fire!"

"Follow Your Excellency!"

After Sven calculated the distance, he adjusted the elevation angle of the artillery and conducted a test fire.

He bought these two old 9-pounder naval guns from a Mexican naval officer in Tijuana.

It was a second-hand product that the British sold to Mexico during the war, and it has become a veritable third-hand product to him.

Sven didn't know much about the ballistics of these naval guns. After three rounds of calibration, he only hit the fence of the manor 500 yards, which is 450 meters away.

Brannan built the walls of the manor very strong, or maybe their artillery was not powerful enough.

After the shell hit the fence, only a few pieces of rubble fell down.

"How guilty Brannan is, he built the wall so strong."

Sven couldn't help cursing.

He underestimated the construction quality of the Brannan Manor, and regretted not dismantling a few more naval guns, or the effect of a salvo of many artillery guns would be better.

"Brannan, a brainless guy, has caused me so much trouble. Now I can't wait to twist his head off with my own hands, stuff it into the gun barrel and shoot his head into the sea."

The belated Griffin showed up in San Francisco.

He did not come alone, and he brought with him two full infantry companies, which was all the military force he could mobilize.

When he heard the news, Griffin's first reaction was to suspect that he had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmation, Griffin had to accept this reality.

He turned halfway back to the military fort, and quickly assembled two infantry companies and rushed to San Francisco.

Unexpectedly, there was no fire in San Francisco, which was the only good news among many unfortunate news.

At least it shows that Liang Yao is still rational.

The rumble of cannons in the distance reminded Griffin and his soldiers that this seemingly peaceful city was in the midst of war.Although it is not a war between countries.

"Thankfully, at least one of the two of them has a brain that is not muddy." Griffin looked at the city of San Francisco not far away, speeding up the march to avoid a greater tragedy.

Fleger was fortunate that he was at the military fortress when the conflict broke out, otherwise he might have been directly involved in the conflict.

"Hey, gentlemen, what are you doing?"

Griffin arrived at the outskirts of Brannan's Seaside Estate with his two infantry companies.

The two naval guns commanded by Sven have also become eight, and they are continuously bombarding Brannan's manor.

Sven was no longer obsessed with bombarding the outer walls of the manor, but obeyed Liang Yao's order to bombard the buildings and soft targets in the manor in order to kill and injure the guards in the manor and damage their morale.
