The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

When Jia Cong and others passed by Luo Guo, they got a military report from the Taiwan government: Jarvis Lin Daiyu led the army to win the North American victory.

Jia Cong told Yan Wang Situ Pan a long time ago that there are a large number of gold mines in California in western North America, just to open up the land.Situ Pan also had the idea of ​​western North America from the very beginning.And its east is closer to Europe, and European immigrants are mostly in the east.The pirates under Situ Pan built small ports and garrisons in the west early, and fought small battles with many natives.Gan Lei, Wei Ruolan, and the Niu brothers also headed straight for the western part of North America.However, there are not many local Western people, mainly Spanish and Portuguese, and there are fewer soldiers.Yan has many soldiers, with extremely strong firearms and fierce shots, and the battle went smoothly.Now Gan Lei and others are guarding the gold mines in California.

But the second wave of troops that King Yan sent out last year was led by Jarvis.It turned out that General Cao Xinsheng, the pirate leader, sent someone to pilot Jarvis, but Jarvis refused to listen.He also invited a pirate leader surnamed Yang to pilot the fleet, and disguised the fleet as a merchant ship to Europe, and then headed straight for New York from Europe.

They did not attack the city from the sea, but only found a pirate port to land and station.Immediately headed straight up the Hudson River.Lin Daiyu personally led the soldiers of the special battalion to check the mountains and rivers.More than ten days later, a valley was selected for water storage, but she disliked it slightly.There are also two water storage valleys that are smaller, but it is slightly cheaper to dig aqueducts.Lin Daiyu hesitated.

Jarvis is the general, so she can't act rashly and has other things to do, so she entrusts old general Zhong Wei to accompany her.Zhong Wei then said: "Since that's the case, just dig all three places. Anyway, we are not in a hurry."

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm afraid someone will find out."

Zhong Wei said with a smile: "There are not many people on this road. Besides, so what if you find out?"

Daiyu made sense.So the troops divided into three groups, transported the small artillery up the mountain, bombarded several difficult-to-dug mountains, and ordered the soldiers to dig and dredge channels.Two diversion canals must be dug for each water storage valley, one in and one out, and they are all guided according to the situation.Lin Daiyu was originally born in a school institution, and her mind is the most coincidental.It is inevitable to meet some Westerners on the road, and of course they all silenced them.There are also many scouts patrolling the intersections, killing any living people passing by.

On this day, Lin Daiyu and Zhong Wei were both standing by the Hudson River to talk about something, and a soldier rushed to report that the last diversion canal had been dug.Daiyu raised her eyes to look at the river, and sighed softly: "After all, I have come to do the great evil myself."

Zhong Wei said: "The military commander is overthinking. It was they who committed the crime first and wiped out the natives here. Now it's just retribution."

Daiyu said silently for a moment: "I don't know what's wrong with violence." She withdrew.

Nai led the troops to retreat to a high place, looked around for a while, and ordered the communication soldiers to send a report.The telegram was tick-tock.After about half a cup of tea time, the rumbling artillery sounded, and the upstream of the three diversion canals blasted the water inlets at the same time.The water of the Hudson River immediately poured into three storage valleys.Lin Daiyu wrapped her cloak tightly, and rode a horse to inspect the three places, expanding the diameter of the water inlet as appropriate, and trying to make the three water storage valleys full of river water at the same time.A day later, the Hudson River in New York City was cut off.

Water is the source of life, without water, the city stops immediately.Although the population of New York City has been damaged by several smallpox epidemics, due to the cheap navigation, in recent years, countless refugees fleeing the wars in Europe have poured in, causing chaos.And the latest smallpox has just passed less than half a year, and the city is in a mess and the scenery is desolate.Cutting off the water at this time is like killing tens of thousands of lives.The officer sent soldiers to patrol upstream along the dry river, but they never returned.

People gathered in churches to pray for a miracle of salvation.In the middle of the night, all the pastors who were praying by candles died suddenly.The crowd was terrified and frantic, pouring into the port and wanting to leave the port by boat.And there was no fresh water stored on the sea ship, so they dared not leave, and the sailors and passengers mingled together.On the third day of the water cutoff, many churches in the city left inscriptions: "lea. vethisisthelandofsatan".

The streets out of the city were suddenly crowded with fugitives, some on horseback, some in vehicles, and some on foot.It's just that the water was cut off for three days, and the people and animals were exhausted.The crowd walked listlessly for less than half a day, when suddenly there was a loud noise from nowhere, and several cannons shot out from the hillside not far away, bombarding from high to low.In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, causing countless casualties.The people were forced to retreat into the city, mourning everywhere.The mayor and dozens of gentlemen met overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the city hall was full of people waiting for news.It was the second watch of the night, and the beeping of a radio transmitter sounded again in the upper reaches of the Hudson River.

The New York defenders decided to break out the next day, and the generals and soldiers went back to prepare their guns.The mayor handed over the fresh water that his family bought with a lot of money from other places to the army, but there was a dripping sound in an unoccupied house in the city.The breakout army then encountered an extremely strong artillery attack from an unknown enemy, as if the enemy had already pinpointed the time and calculated their strength.Only more than 700 of the [-] breakout troops returned to the city.The people suddenly despaired.Just pray to God for rain.Around the third watch, the flood struck.

After the soldiers blasted the drain of the water storage valley, Lin Daiyu and others withdrew.Zhong Wei said: "New York has become an abandoned city, and the rest will be disposed of. The military division and General Jia will go elsewhere first."

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, then smiled lightly: "Alright. Thank you, old general."

Zhong Wei clasped his fists: "Military commander, don't worry."

Lin Daiyu met Jarvis and left, while Zhong Wei stayed in New York to deal with the aftermath.The so-called aftermath is to massacre the city.After the flood, New York City is littered with dead bodies, and there are always remnants of the population.Zhong Wei led his troops into the city and ordered that no Westerner be spared.How many people can afford guns?So most of them waited to die.The mayor also guarded a small number of soldiers, guarding the city hall.Since the firearms were stronger than the enemy, Zhong Wei had no intention of fighting and ordered the artillery to be pushed over.

Several cannons had their sights adjusted, and the gate of the city hall suddenly opened, and a Western priest came out from inside.This person raised his hands and shouted: "Are you from Yanjing? I can speak Yanjing dialect." Zhong Wei raised his hand and made a gesture to let this person walk over slowly.

Standing in front of Zhong Wei without fear, the priest stretched out his hand and made a cross on his chest, then raised his head and said, "This general is from the country of Yan."

Zhong Wei said: "Not bad. What do you have to say?"

The priest said: "What King Yan wants is a gold mine, and he has already got it in California."

Zhong Wei said: "You are thinking wrong, what King Yan wants is land, and the gold mine itself is on the land."

The priest said angrily, "General, this is our land."

Zhong Wei smiled and said, "No, this is the land of the Indians, you killed them."

The priest hurriedly said: "Those people are barbaric and inferior! We are civilized..."

Zhong Wei interrupted: "No. The Indians were not born to be barbaric inferiors. They just lost the war and became barbaric inferiors. Now you have also lost. From now on, you and the Indians The same barbaric inferiors, we are civilized people."

The priest was stunned for a long while, seeing Zhong Wei's expressionless face, he opened his mouth several times, and finally said without saying anything else, "We...surrender."

Zhong Wei thought for a while: "Alright. Just don't play tricks."

The mayor led the people to surrender, and the house of the city hall was saved.Although the priest had stayed in the country of Yan and met the people and officials of the country of Yan, he did not know the general of the country of Yan.He has never read Chinese history books, and he doesn't know that killing prisoners has been common since ancient times, and 40 people are no different from 200 people.

New York City completely fell into Zhong Wei's hands.Zhong Wei led the army to clean up the corpses, search for food, and sent people across the North American continent to deliver a letter to Gan Lei in the east.New York has mostly become a ghost city.Zhong Wei was then stationed at the port, waiting on the sidelines.Western ships, no matter what kind of ships, come and fight one by one.

After the water supply in New York City was cut off, many people fled, and some escaped from Zhong Wei's hands and reported to other places.Philadelphia is a big city, not far from New York, so it was the first to hear the news.The mayor was slightly taken aback.Earlier he knew that the Grand Duke of China had sent troops across the sea to rob the Spanish colonies in the west, but unexpectedly they also came to the east.The two factions in the city were at odds with each other.One side said to lead the troops to rescue, while the other said that the whole city was on guard in case the enemy would attack.After a few days of quarreling, the soldiers finally split into two groups.A general led three thousand death squads to New York for rescue, and the rest stayed in Philadelphia.

Halfway through the death squad, the veteran heard the sound of horseshoes ahead.The general ordered someone to check, and from a distance, he saw a man running away with a horse, and his clothes looked like the Chinese soldiers that people from New York said.The general raised his gun immediately, aiming at the man with a "bang" was a shot.The man tilted his body, as if he was injured, he fell on the horse's back, and the horse also slowed down.The general was overjoyed and took the lead in chasing after him, followed closely by the Death Squadron.

After running for a while, the wounded soldier turned his head and lashed the horse twice, and the horse immediately ran like crazy.How could the general let him escape?Also crazy to catch up.Before he knew it, he ran and chased and turned into a small path, and many fallen leaves piled up under the horse's hooves.The wounded soldier whistled suddenly, straightened up and sat up immediately.Not long after, General Philadelphia caught up, and suddenly saw a thick hemp rope about three feet above the ground in front of him, which was a common tripping rope.There was no time to do anything else in panic, so he reined in the reins.The Death Squad who followed closely behind him also reined in their horses one after another.

Philadelphia and Ping An State have similar latitudes and similar climates.This meeting is autumn, the weather is excellent, the clouds are light and the wind is light.Before the general and the death squad could check the surrounding situation clearly, many rockets were shot from a distance like raindrops.The leaves on the ground suddenly burst into flames, leaping up like a fire dragon.Someone shouted: "Oil has been sprinkled on the ground!" Everyone knew that they had been tricked, but the fire was on all sides and there was nowhere to escape.The horses were frightened one after another, throwing off the knights on them, neighing as they stepped on the fire, and fled in all directions.Some knights were trampled to death, some were choked to death by thick smoke, and some were burned to death.The few at the end desperately ran out of the ring of flames, facing a line of black muzzles.None of the three thousand death squads survived.

A few days later, Jarvis's army reached the outskirts of Philadelphia.A report was received in the city, and immediately someone fled from the other side of Philadelphia.The mayor immediately ordered the city to be on alert.Regardless of gender, those who are willing to stay and defend the city are given weapons; those who want to run are not stopped.But Jarvis stood still.After waiting for three days, it coincided with the Westerner's Sunday.Regardless of the officials and the people in Philadelphia, they go to church more to worship.Jarvis released the hot air balloon and flew slowly to the city.The hot air balloons were loaded with bombs, and the grenadiers were all trained in the Battle of the Malay Archipelago, and each hot air balloon was equipped with a collimator and a telescope.Not long after, explosions resounded throughout the city.Apart from barracks, churches were the most bombed.By evening, the whole city has become a hell on earth.

There were also missionaries in Philadelphia who had been to the Heavenly Dynasty. They left the city holding a cross and a white flag, and came to the Jarvis barracks alone on horseback.Jarvis sat in the big camp and waited.This priest was more understanding than the one in New York, and asked directly: "Maybe the general will spare women and children."

Jarvis said: "Not only women and children, but also men. There is only one thing. Believe in our religion—Taoism."

The priest flew into a rage, and opened his mouth with a string of foreign curses.Pennsylvania has been in the hands of the British for hundreds of years. Jarvis has learned English and understands it.He only listened indifferently for a long time, and said in English: "You can choose to die, flee back to Europe, or change your beliefs. There is no fourth way." The priest turned and left the camp resolutely, like a saint going to death.

Lin Daiyu turned around from behind, and praised: "This foreign monk is a man, he regards death as home."

Jarvis said: "Isn't he sorry for not fulfilling him?"

The next day, Jia Jun dropped a second round of hot air balloon bombs.The barracks and the mayor's hall were all blown up into a pile of rubble.The helpless people fled to the two remaining churches, stunned.The priests are all dead, and the sentence that appeared in the New York church appeared on the divine case again. "lea. vethisisthelandofsatan".The mayor of Philadelphia was also injured by the bombing. He went to check the two sentences in the church in person, and couldn't help but think of a rumor from Spain many years ago.

Spain once had a colony called Malaysia, which has been colonized for nearly 200 years.A few years ago, Satan suddenly descended and killed the entire population of the Governor's Mansion overnight.The local Spaniards gathered in the church to pray for asylum, but the next day the church was full of dead bodies.Afterwards, church massacres occurred many times in many places in Malaysia, and Spain and the East India Company were so frightened that they couldn't send people there—no one dared to go.

No matter how tough the mayor of Philadelphia is, right now he can't even touch the clothes of the enemy soldiers, and his side has no chance of winning.Given the warning from God, could it be that the land of America really belongs to Satan?The mayor couldn't help but hesitate.It's just that time doesn't allow him to hesitate, and some soldiers saw the hot air balloon rising outside the city from a distance.In desperation, the mayor gritted his teeth and ordered: follow God's instructions, abandon the city and retreat.

This time, no one followed behind to surround and kill, and the people in the city were allowed to leave.They walked for more than half a day, and Jarvis led the troops into the city. They had to put out the fire, collect the dead bodies, and search for food.At noon the next day, the mayor of Philadelphia ran back alone!The man had no fear on his face and begged to see Jarvis.When Jarvis asked, it turned out that he wanted to know if his family had anything to do with Satan in Malaysia back then.

Jarvis didn't know how to answer when Lin Daiyu came out from behind.Beauty is equally lethal to men of all races in the world, the mayor was stunned for a moment.Jarvis coughed twice.Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "yes. he's my grandmother's brother." Then she left lightly.The mayor was stunned.Jarvis coughed twice again: "sheismywife."

As the survivors of Philadelphia evacuated to the North American states, the phrase "lea. vethisisthelandofsatan" that appeared on the holy scriptures of the two large city churches also spread.The mayor of Philadelphia who fled also brought a message: the Chinese general who led the army to attack the eastern part of North America had a wife as beautiful as Venus, and she was "Satan's Grandniece".
