Wild North America 1846

Chapter 54 Really Unexpected

The burning of the River Bend Village made the Datang Club famous throughout the province of California. From a second-rate force in the region, it has become a hot new top force in San Francisco, comparable to John Sutter and Fangcao.

This short and bloody conflict made everyone start to face up to the strong strength of the Datang Society. Li Cha's illustrious name spread throughout the Bay Area, and the prestige title task "King of the Bay Area" progressed rapidly from the original 3000 people. It has risen to nearly [-] people, a great breakthrough has been achieved.

This shows that more people recognize Richard as the real talker in San Francisco (San Francisco).

And the most anxious among them is undoubtedly the local snake John Sutter.

new town

Not far from the church, in a Victorian manor building on Washington Street, the stout John Sutter was wearing a well-made light-colored suit, pacing back and forth in the European-style corridor with a restless expression.

The bad news from the American River made him completely lose his composure in the past. His powerful minion, Sheriff John A. Clark and more than fifty mounted policemen and militiamen were all killed in the sea of ​​fire, and none of them escaped back.

This dealt a heavy blow to John Sutter's forces. After receiving the shocking news, John Sutter resisted the panic in his heart, took out thousands of ounces of gold to compensate the family members of the deceased, and sent someone to urgently contact the Mexican leader Juan -Carlos, trying to hug for warmth.

It should be said that John Sutter's measures were appropriate, at least he did not make frequent tricks.

The Datang Society and Fangcaodi colluded together. After the destruction of the Madison Gang, the balance has been broken, and the Federation forces have formed a serious threat to John Sutter's forces.

But a few days passed, and Juan Carlos did not respond at all.

Footsteps sounded, John Sutter looked up and saw lawyer Adam Tatum coming in a hurry, so he couldn't hide his anxiety and went up to him and asked, "Adam, what did they say?"

"Sorry, the Mexicans may have guessed my purpose and have been hiding from me. I suspect Fangcaodi or the British behind it made a move and promised conditions that are enough to make people tempted. Otherwise, how dare Juan Carlos Reject our olive branch?"

"Oh...damn, are you sure?"

"According to our people, Juan Carlos has been staying in the mansion and has not seen him leave. But his housekeeper evaded that he had been going to Sacramento for a few days and he didn't know when he would come back. The grocery in Fangcao The shopkeeper Odom Russell can enter openly, doesn't that explain the problem?"

"Damn it, how dare these despicable Mexicans betray me?"

Hearing Adam Tatum's words, John Sade's face turned livid, and he couldn't help cursing; "I curse them to go to hell, if I hadn't waived the net and acquiesced in the existence of Juan Carlos How dare he hide in Sacramento with all the other scumbag native whites right now?"

This was not easy to answer, Adam Tatum shut his mouth wisely, but shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.

The situation is now clear;
Fangcaodi and Datang Society have joined forces to firmly occupy Fangcaodi, Grape Valley, Rose Manor and American River, and have deeply intervened in the new town. The limelight has already overwhelmed John Sutter's forces.

In particular, the leader of the Tang Dynasty, Li Cha, led his troops to set fire to Hewan Village, killing all the chickens and dogs, and massacring hundreds of people from the Madison Gang.

No matter how dull a person is, he knows that this is a cruel and merciless master who cannot be easily provoked.

Because Sheriff John led more than 50 gunmen to join the Alexander-Madison gang, the two sides were in a state of factual conflict and had to end with one being beaten down.

Datang will have people, guns, and fighting power. Fangcaodi is rich, powerful, and influential, and there are British forces standing behind it. John Sutter, a local snake who has been operating in San Francisco for several decades, obviously can't hold back.

In the final analysis
John Sutter is just an ordinary mountain dweller from a poor mountain valley in Switzerland. He came to the North American continent with nothing at first. With his brains and luck, he made a fortune here and became very popular.

The most powerful minion John-A-Clark died on the banks of the American River with a dozen of his confidantes.

John Sutter yelled and cursed loudly, scolding the Mexicans, the white people in Fangcaodi, and most of all the Chinese in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, move forward, is your head flooded?
10 minutes later
Seeing that John Sutter was tired of scolding, Adam Tatum quickly showed a smile on his face, and interjected at the right time; "Dear Mr. John, the federation is really hateful. I think Juan Carlos is not good at this critical moment. Being willing to stand up and support you clearly may not be as simple as betrayal."

"You mean..." John Sutter was still angry at this time, and after Adam Tatum said this, he immediately looked over with suspicious eyes.

This can’t be blamed on him being suspicious. After Sheriff John A. Clark and a dozen mounted policemen died on the banks of the American River, they accounted for almost 1/3 of the private police force. John Sutter’s control over the new town was extremely strong. A big drop is far more than just 1/3.

The obedient rancher Ralston and the leader of the Mexican tribe, Juan Carlos, have always followed behind him, and their attitudes have become ambiguous.

In the eyes of John Sutter, this is undoubtedly a betrayal.

Although the lawyer Adam Tatum in front of him is acting like a dog, there is nothing unusual, but this guy is a loner who eats and drinks.

In this Wild West, anything is possible.

Seeing John Sutter looking suspiciously at him, Adam Tatum quickly turned serious, and said with an expression that I think about you;
"Respected President John, you gave me everything, for God's sake, please believe me, let me tell you my reasons.

You also know that the newspaper said that Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana strongly criticized the ambitious expansion policy of the United States, saying that he would not hesitate to fight to retake Texas, which originally belonged to Mexico, and issued a war mobilization order, Vigorously expanding the army and weapons, it can be said that the current US-Mexico war is imminent.

We all know that Juan Carlos is the former garrison chief of San Francisco, a remnant force representing Mexican interests, and colludes with Mexico City openly and secretly.

in today's situation
The deterioration of US-Mexico relations will inevitably affect the province of Alta California, and we are Americans through and through.

At this time, if Juan Carlos gets closer to us, he will inevitably have the notoriety of a traitor, so he has to be worried.

Besides
We all know that Great Britain has an undoubted huge influence in Mexico and even Central and South American countries. Fangcaodi is the pawn for the British to insert into the Bay Area, and this is the most tricky place.

The current U.S.-UK relationship is extremely deteriorating. The newly-elected U.S. president strongly stated that the U.S. has natural sovereignty over the British Canadian colonies of Oregon, Seattle, Portland and other places, which may detonate the second U.S.-UK war.

under these circumstances
If the Mexican power represented by Juan Carlos can not stand on the side of the Federation, then we should be thankful, and it is difficult to ask for more. "

Hearing these words, John Sutter was at a loss. He didn't know a whole lot of big characters, and he couldn't read newspapers at ordinary times, but he understood a little bit;
You could become a victim of the current situation yourself, suffering from unwarranted disasters.

"You mean... the United States is going to war with Mexico, so it has nothing to do with me? This is where the Mexicans belong. Could it be that the Americans can fight here?"

"Indeed, the U.S. military will definitely fight over."

"what?"

John Sutter opened his mouth wide in surprise, enough to stuff a duck egg into his mouth.

Upper California is more than 1000 kilometers away from the hotspot of Texas, with the Sierra Nevada, the Sierra Nevada Desert, the Rocky Mountains and the vast Gobi Desert in New Mexico in the middle. The distance is extremely far away, as if it is two worlds.

He really didn't expect that the American army would come over?
