MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 22 mr lincoln

"Exchange the heads of the invaders for your freedom and land!"

John von Siner's approach is equivalent to using land and "freedom" to put a bounty on the heads of those invading Americans.

This trick really worked. Although the Indians are not good at fighting head-on, they are surprisingly good at being bandits and bounty hunters. Soon the English-speaking whites in California suffered. The Indians could not tell the difference between Americans and Austrians, or Spanish, but they knew the difference between English and German.

The infiltration forces of the American people have been severely hit, and even the culprits who tried to fan the Indians to attack California before were retaliated by the Indians.

When the Indians found John von Siner with the bodies and weapons of the invaders, he happily fulfilled his promise, not only gave them land, but also rewarded some food, and the so-called "friendly people's certificate" ".

The so-called "friendly person certificate" is a black gold card with the Austrian flag on it, which has some personal identification information, which can be queried at the archives in the city.

In fact, this trick is not only fighting poison with fire, but killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it will eliminate the American invaders, and on the other hand, it will also increase the population of California.

After all, this area is too large, and the labor force is too small. Austrian law prohibits the sale of slaves, and it is still a bit reluctant to rely solely on the labor contributed by Mexico and the former Central American federal region.

Taking in these homeless Indians seemed like a good idea, after all, gold mining, construction work, city cleaning, farm work, etc. have to be done by someone.

Later, the Indians were not killed by the Americans, but they also wanted to become Californians. John von Siner set a new condition, that is, he would give 20 pesos for one laborer, and he could become a Californian if he brought five laborers. legal resident.

Although it is very unkind to do so, it does quickly increase the population of California.

Johann von Sinner is the illegitimate son of Mr. Sinner, the chairman of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In fact, Franz hopes that the old Sinner can take over the job of Baron Brooke.

After all, he is more experienced, more capable, and more loyal and reliable in comparison. At this time, the income from the gold mines in California was extremely exaggerated. Although Grand Duke Karl Ferdinand was in charge, he was a soldier after all, and it was impossible to have a clear understanding of business and urban planning.

As the illegitimate son of a Jew, John von Siner is very eager to express himself, at least remove one of his labels, so he has to work harder than anyone else, but his approach is also more extreme.

John von Siner was not as rigid as Baron Brooke. He knew human nature well. After some investigation, he set a goal of five times the previous amount.

This made the gold panning companies and teams attracted by the gold mine indignant, saying that this kind of goal is impossible to achieve, and they said they would strike collectively.

John von Siner immediately signed and approved, and then promised to the rest of the people that as long as the predetermined goals are completed, the rest of the gold will be yours.

As a result, the mining efficiency in California has really increased by 500%, and the urban development speed has also accelerated, because money is always consumed, and the number of related service industry personnel is also increasing, because the high wages in this area naturally attract Power is also strong.

But the evil result of this kind of destructive mining is to accelerate the depletion of the gold mine. Of course, since this place is not the territory of the Austrian Empire, John von Siner doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. What he wants is more, faster, better, province, and complete the task entrusted to him by Grand Duke Franz with the most perfect posture.

.....

In 1842, John Tyler, who was in power, was struggling for the rapid development of the world. Although every American believed that the United States was the destiny, the facts before them made them have to admit that things seemed not that simple.

There is Britain in the north, Mexico in the south, California occupied by the Austrians in the west, and the French in the middle. The road to the west of the Americans seems to be extremely difficult.

And Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents in American history, seemed to be in trouble of his own making.

Although Lincoln in the history books is like a god, in fact this "great" man was not a tolerant and upright person in life.

Lincoln liked to be sarcastic and humiliated others by throwing those satirical articles on the ground for others to pick up and read.

Of course, he is also very smart. For example, when facing a politician named James Shields opposite, he chose to write anonymous letters. After all, the opponent is a pretentious, fierce and aggressive soldier.

Lincoln published an article in the "Springfield Journal" satirizing James Shields, and the insulting words naturally attracted people's attention.

This aroused the anger of the latter, but the former felt that since he wrote an anonymous letter, he should be spared.

But in fact, there has never been privacy in the United States. James Shields used his relationship to find Lincoln easily, and the latter could only confess.

James Shields demanded a duel with Lincoln to protect his honor. A soldier wanted to duel with a lawyer. Although Lincoln was tall and burly, he was not stupid, so he immediately objected.

In a rage, James Shields allowed Lincoln to choose the weapon first, and he could even shoot first, and then found other Whigs to force Lincoln to accept a duel~www.novelbuddy.com~In the end, Lincoln could only accept a duel, James Hill Ziz is a well-known sharpshooter, while Lincoln has not received systematic firearms training at all.

Lincoln served in the army and was commended, but the reason was that his ranks were in order.

So Mr. Lincoln chose to use a waist knife as a weapon, because he felt that his height and long hands had an advantage, but he soon sadly discovered that the opponent's swordsmanship was also very good.

There are two records about this duel in history. One is that Lincoln's assistants persuaded James Shields to give up the duel, and the other is that Lincoln cut off a birch tree before the duel, making the opponent give up in fear. A duel, in short, the result of this duel was that James Shields gave up the duel.

But as a history buff and a fighting fan, Franz wanted to see what would happen if the duel continued.

So he sent someone to protect James Shields in advance. When Lincoln's assistants came to James Shields' house, they saw a large number of gangster gunmen inside and outside the house.

The clever assistant immediately gave up persuasion by force and used settlement money instead.

"God is merciful, Mr. James, and he doesn't want any great American to fall in a pool of blood tomorrow. You know what I mean?"

"But what about my reputation?! Damn it, what about Abraham Lincoln's slanderous words about me?"

James Shields was very angry. Although he was a very impulsive person, he didn't dare to say the word "duel" easily. After all, it was a matter of life and death.

"Mr. Lincoln and you both have a very bright political future. You don't want to just be a state senator for the rest of your life, do you? I have ten thousand dollars here. I believe it is enough to save your loss of face."
