Wild North America 1846

Chapter 31
new town

In a two-story Victorian building
Several well-dressed old white men were standing on the veranda of the second floor, chatting loudly with their toes high and high. One of them was a fat old man with a thick Cuban Havana cigar in his mouth. The controller... John Sutter, a veteran colonist born in the mountains of Switzerland.

John Sutter is obviously the focus of the crowd, with him as the center, the rancher Ralston, the white lawyer Adam Tatum, the local businessman Keynes and Higgins II, surrounded by the topic of last night The Datang Society, which set off a storm in the city, and the legendary core figure Li Cha.

"I heard that Richard killed eight more people in a row in Old Barr's tavern yesterday. This incident has spread among the gold diggers along the American River. Richard is known as one of the most legendary gunmen in the West. One, I don't think there's anyone who can shoot faster and more deadly than him."

"You are wrong, Keynes, I don't think so." Lawyer Adam Tatum retorted habitually. He often sings against others. Perhaps this is the professional characteristic of lawyers.

And Adam Tatum is also willing to continue to pass the maverick's point of view, let people not ignore his lawyer career.

Actually

Adam Tatum is just a liar who has read a few law books and has not been trained by any formal law firm. He went to court twice and was tried for fraud and abduction. He was sentenced to six and a half years in prison .

Fortunately, the west is mostly rough cowboys and sailors who can't read and write. No one cares about that, no one cares about his past experience, and there are no formal legal provisions here, so he's doing pretty well.

Relying on his blond and blue-eyed good looks, Adam Tatum has seduced the wives of several wealthy businessmen as mistresses, including Cairns' wife Mitchell.

Seeing that his rebuttal aroused the interest of others, Adam Tatum shrugged his shoulders artificially, making a helpless expression that I know he is good but someone is stronger, and said;

"I admit that Richard with an oriental background is indeed one of the best shooters in the West in recent years, but don't forget, this is the West, and there has never been a shortage of outstanding shooters wandering the wilderness.

"Bloodthirsty Bill" of Kansas was a ruthless man who had robbed postal carriages 13 times. He lost all his money in a tavern gambling. He drew his gun on the spot and killed 5 scammers. shooter.

The "Wild Wolf Brothers" Mancourt gang in Las Vegas, New Mexico. It is said that the four brothers are all excellent shooters.

There is also the "Sunflower Killer" Sith Deng who is used to using a pepper shaker revolver. He can be said to be one of the best bounty hunters in the west.

Oh, right……

It is said that this person is in Sacramento now, we only need to offer a high reward to Richard, and this is not difficult to do.

So, when he ignores our olive branch, he will face severe punishment, which is the rule in the West. "

finish these words

Adam Tatum showed a rather reserved smile, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was clearly courting John Sutter humbly.

Because what Mr. Lawyer calls the rules of the West are the rules of John Sutter.

Six and a half years of prison life gave Adam Tatum a deep understanding of the way of survival of the little people, which is to hold the boss's legs tightly and not relax. Several other white people present also knew this well.

To put it bluntly, this group is all John Sutter's lackeys.

Including Sheriff John standing at the stairs in the corridor, Adam Tatum's voice could be heard clearly and clearly, even though it was six or seven meters away.

The sheriff John and the lawyer Adam Tatum worked hand in hand and controlled the judicial power of the new town. Those who wanted to get justice through lawsuits were often sucked dry, and even their families were ruined. In the end, they got nothing .

The other two major powers in New Town, Alexander Madison and Juan Carlos, none of their people are here, let alone Captain William Richardson of Fangmeadow, who has already been squeezed out.

Although they are all white, but the hatred and estrangement between them are extremely deep, let alone cooperation, it is a blessing not to fight.

Generally speaking
The Anglo-French, Derby, and Nordic countries in Western Europe are all traditional Anglo-Saxons and Germans, believe in Protestantism, and have frequent marriages between royal families and nobles.

Since the Age of Discovery, countries in Western Europe have successively carried out global colonial movements, and their economies are generally rich and powerful. The country of England even led the first wave of the industrial revolution and sat on the throne of global hegemony.

These Western European countries think they are superior to others, and dismiss Southern and Eastern Europe and the Balkans as barbaric races.

Spain and Portugal are quite different from Western European countries. They have darker skin, mostly black hair and black eyes. They believe in Catholicism devoutly. No matter their language, ethnic habits and religious beliefs are incompatible, they are often excluded and suppressed.

Because of the sharp decline in national power, overseas colonies have also been severely eroded.

Under the influence of this contempt chain

White immigrants from Western European countries in the United States generally look down on Mexican native whites, such as Juan Carlos.

Although the guy was blond and had a blond mustache, a native white was a native white, and the Spaniards themselves wouldn't admit it, let alone these snobby American cowboys.

If you really want to say that the blood is noble and pure, it must belong to the Scottish captain William Richardson of Fangmeadow. He often despises John Sutter as "the nouveau riche from the backcountry", which is really merciless.

That's right, Switzerland, a small mountainous country, is really a remote country. It was so poor that the French emperor Napoleon occupied almost the entire Western Europe in his glory, but he turned a blind eye to Switzerland.

This ghost place is too poor, and to occupy it, you have to spend money to build it. It really has nothing but tough Swiss mountain people!
Faced with William Richardson's public ridicule, although John Sutter was flushed with anger and wanted to kill, he had nothing to do.

Because it is the truth and cannot be denied.

Under the deliberate praise of everyone, John Sutter showed a proud smile on his face, and said arrogantly;
"I hate people who don't follow the rules. When the Easterners come here, they should build railways and grow crops in a proper manner, instead of going to the American river to pan for gold with the outrageous idea of ​​getting rich overnight.

This Li Cha is a restless person. He built some kind of camp in the Grape Valley, sent a horse team to patrol the American River, and now he went to the new town to fight and kill. What exactly does he want to do?
What protector of Chinese gold diggers?
I don't like this arrogant title. Now, it's time to let him know the rules of San Francisco. "

Speaking of here
John Sutter took a deep puff of the Cuban cigar, and then slowly exhaled the thick and mellow blue smoke, with a ruthless look on his fat face.

A boss is a boss, even a gray-haired boss is still a lion, and will eat people when he is angry.

Downstairs in City Hall
Sheriff John concentrated almost 50 mounted policemen on standby, and nearly 200 white gunmen were ambushed in the streets of the surrounding old town. This is an overwhelming armed force.

As long as this Li Cha dares to come, he will definitely not be able to walk around.

If you dare not come, just relying on the great crime of contempt of the council, Magistrate John can call on the white hotshots to attack and completely destroy the Chinese power of the Datang Society.

No matter what you do, Datang will not be able to please.

Everyone knew that the agreement hall was very profitable in the meat business and gambling stalls. The reason why it was not moved was because the sheep was not fat enough, not because it was not capable of cutting.

Datang would suddenly come out like this, which is equivalent to cutting off the tiger halfway, snatching food from the tiger's mouth, and seeing a large piece of fat flying from the mouth.

Just ask, can the boss John Sutter not be angry?

Who dares to compete with John Sutter on the three-acre land in San Francisco?Isn't it boring to live?
Someone said: How did John Sutter know that Agreement Hall is a big fat sheep?

People who ask this question underestimate the deep-rooted power of local snakes. Every plant, every tree, and every move in San Francisco cannot escape John Sutter's eyeliner. How profitable are these side businesses of the Agreement Hall? I'm afraid John Sutter knows no less than Mr. Lin, the big cabinet cabinet?

After accumulating a huge wealth of more than one year, at least more than [-] ounces, so much money was neither spent, nor transported away, nor deposited in the bank. Could it be that he has wings to fly?
Thinking about it with your heels, you know that it must have fallen into the hands of the Datang Society.
