The time can be traced back to half a year ago, when the second year of Xianfeng had just ended.

Zheng De and Chu Yunliang were traveling from San Francisco to the eastern United States. Along the way they were bound to pass through some farms and mines established by white people.

They saw a large number of Chinese workers in these places, most of whom were shirtless and wearing straw hats, working in the fields or in the mines.

Chu Yunliang endured it this time. He didn't do anything, he just did his own thing and marked these farms and mines on the map he drew by himself.

Leaving San Francisco, they entered the endless wilderness of the West. It is very challenging to cross the North American continent in this era. Not only do you have to face the harsh environment here, the most dangerous thing is everyone you see here.

Someone might pull a gun on you.

In this land, people speak with guns and justice with fists.

Even the U.S. government, which is extremely thirsty for land, has not formally brought these lands under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

There is only one independent federal state in the entire West, California, with a federal garrison.

At this time, the westward region from the Appalachian Mountains was considered the western region. The development pace of the Americans only reached the Mississippi and Missouri river basins.

Only then did Zheng De understand why Americans trafficked Chinese workers in large numbers.

In this wild western region, they walked for more than ten days without seeing a single person. There were no roads in many places, and they could only move in the direction of the rising sun.

So many places are deserted, which means they don't have the population to develop these lands.

Those farmers owned a large amount of land, but could not hire workers, so they could only buy Chinese workers. Moreover, Chinese workers were hard-working and cheap, and their cost was even lower than that of black slaves, but the efficiency of their output was much higher than that of black slaves.

The mission endured the humiliation and kept a low profile, but someone was still watching them.

The Brown family was a large local family in San Francisco. They owned half of the slave fleets that took the Pacific route to the East.

However, in the past six months, he has lost five or six slave ships one after another, the first of which was the "Born". This caused Mr. Brown to suffer heavy losses.

And at this time, he already knew that this matter was done by the Easterners. He found someone to put pressure on the federal government to send troops to the East to punish those pirates.

But the United States is too far away from the East, and it is not known when the government's measures will be effective.

The sudden appearance of the Ryukyu mission gave him an opportunity for revenge.

In his opinion, this so-called Ryukyu mission looks like a piglet. There are more than two hundred people. Brown plans to wait for these people to leave San Francisco and then capture this group of people in the Rocky Mountain wilderness to the east and treat them as

Sell ​​the piglets to make up for part of his losses.

Zheng De and his party entered a canyon half a month after leaving San Francisco, where they encountered a group of bandits.

Dong Liang had told them before that the western region of the United States was a lawless land, so they had to carry guns, otherwise they should not go eastward.

This group of horse-riding robbers numbered about fifty people, and they were Brown's men.

Because he was mentally prepared, Chu Yunliang organized his men and relied on the mountains to successfully repel the group. However, these people did not give up there.

Chu Yunliang had a sudden thought. Since this was a lawless place and Americans could do whatever they wanted without any government to control them, no one would care about what they did.

So along the way, they took the initiative to attack several isolated white farms standing in the wilderness, rescued some Chinese workers, and gradually expanded their power.

The most recent incident was when Chu Yunliang led his men to loot a gold mine and rescued more than 200 Chinese workers.

Following Dong Liang's method, he armed these Chinese workers and led them to pursue freedom.

Brown's people did not give up. They bribed some Mexican gangs and some Indian armed forces attached to the white people, and organized a team of more than 200 people.

On the edge of the Great Salt Lake, they blocked the Ryukyu mission's path again.

But at this time, Chu Yunliang already had more than 500 people in his hands.

It is ridiculous to say that the two sides actually fought a war on American soil. Only a few dozen of the more than 200 bandits escaped. The Chinese laborers once again won a great victory.

Zheng De was a little scared. He was worried that the U.S. official would know about this matter. If the other side dispatched regular troops to encircle and suppress them, their "mission" might be completely destroyed. It didn't matter if they died. The key is that the mission assigned by the head of state could not be completed.

.

Their mission to the United States this time was just a pretense. Recruiting talents was the most important thing. Richard and others were highly valued by Dong Liang, and several of them were also very capable, but they were all prisoners. Dong Liang could not let them go.

Hand use.

But at this time, Chu Yunliang was addicted to fighting.

Neither of them could convince the other, so they agreed to separate operations in Kansas. Chu Yunliang took the rescued Chinese workers to stay in the west and continued to rescue the Chinese workers. They promoted the banner of the Chinese workers' resistance to the outside world.

This kid wanted to imitate Dong Liang and achieve a career overseas.

He saw an opportunity in a lawless place like the American West.

There are only more than a thousand U.S. troops stationed in the entire California, and they are all in the southern part of the country bordering Mexico.

Dong Liang had already introduced them to the situation here, and coupled with their own observations, Chu Yunliang felt that he had a high chance of success.

In the west, there were at least 100,000 Chinese workers working in various farms and mines.

As for weapons, they can definitely snatch them from the Americans, because almost everyone living here has a musket.

The two sides separated, with Chu Yunliang's people claiming to be rebellious Chinese workers, while Zheng De continued to lead the Ryukyu mission.

Chu Yunliang secretly protected them and sent them across the Mississippi River. After crossing this river, it was a place controlled by the US government. They could operate under the banner of the mission without worrying about those little thieves.

Chu Yunliang just saw the tragic fate of those Chinese workers and became angry for a moment. In addition, he was also an ambitious person.

Unexpectedly, he actually accomplished something big.

The Americans' control over the West is too weak. Without convenient transportation, they cannot send large-scale troops to the West. And the Chinese are not Mexicans or Indians.

The Chinese are no smarter than them, and these oppressed Chinese workers living in foreign lands are also very united. They know that if they don't resist, they will die on these farms and mines.

They're all going to die anyway, so it's better to have a vigorous fight. Killing one white man is enough, and killing two is enough to make a profit.

When Zheng De arrived in Washington, met with the new U.S. President Pierce, exchanged credentials, and prepared to return, Chu Yunliang's Chinese Workers' Resistance Army had already appeared in American newspapers.

Newspapers called Chu Yunliang and his gang a gang of yellow-skinned gangsters, claiming that they committed all kinds of evil in the vast western region.

Chu Yunliang adopted the method of rogue bandits. They specifically selected those farms and mines to attack, and almost never touched towns.

However, their methods against white people were very cruel. As long as they captured white people, no matter old or weak, men or women, they would kill them all. He even asked his Chinese workers to vent their anger on those white women.

However, they did not exclude Indians. While rescuing Chinese workers, they would also rescue captured Indians.

In the West, conflicts between Indians and whites were also very serious.

Chu Yunliang used the captured materials to exchange war horses and grain with the Indians, and gave the land they had robbed to the Indians.

These simple Indians were very grateful. But when they drove their livestock to graze on these deserted farms.

There will soon be retaliation from the white people.

At this time, the battle between the Indians and the white people broke out naturally. Chu Yunliang would watch on the side, and when the opponent was almost fighting, they would appear again to help the Indians surround and suppress the white people.

In this way, the relationship between them and the Indians became closer again.

He required all the Chinese workers under his command to learn to ride horses. In just a few months, a cavalry force of five to six hundred people was formed.

This is already considered a considerable military force in the western region.

Chu Yunliang and dozens of his core members have received formal training from the escort, and they will then train the rescued Chinese workers. They are all equipped with muskets, although most of them were captured from white people.

But their organization and discipline are stronger than those of Indians and Mexican gangs.

They wandered around in the boundless west, erratic, and the closely related Indian tribes became their fixed supply points.

They consume the white man's presence in the West all the time.

Gradually, some wandering Indians also joined their team.

When Zheng De picked up the man and returned to San Francisco, he met Chu Yunliang again. He could already feel a bit of Dong Liang's temperament in him, but his temper was more violent.
Chapter completed!
