Chapter 91: The Shame of the Colorado Governor's Life
Chapter 91 The lifelong shame of the governor of Colorado
Escape and hide his identity... Guo Jinzhang thought that he would be able to remind the people around him. Even if he could not touch Ding Huaiyuan, Wan Gongxiang, Lu Jiashun, etc., Hou Nan and others who had experienced several sieges and blockades should be able to understand it. But the facts are always so helpless. Hou Nan and others still wanted to run away!
They forgot that this is the United States, and its territory, where can they go? Now it is the anti-China period, and the situation is getting worse and worse. The Chinese have done such a big thing, which has seriously violated the prestige of a state government in the United States. Will those Americans be able to spare them?
He also hid his name...
That's right, even in the future, with extremely developed information, there are still countless people who have committed crimes and violated the law who can escape the law, and even have been edited for many years without any trace. Unless they are so stupid that they will participate in a blind date program on TV stations, the police may not remember whether there is such a wanted criminal. But the problem is that those wanted criminals are not as serious as their crimes this time, so serious that even if they escape, they will cause the entire state machine of the United States to move. It's a state machine! What wanted criminals can be treated like? Even if they are betrayal of relatives and relatives and run to other countries for political asylum, they will definitely not enjoy such treatment. Moreover, they are still Chinese, a few who are big but weak.
The ordinary Chinese people who are bullied by European and American countries are still offending the United States, a real power and the world's most powerful country in the future. With these things they have committed, even if they are relatives of the Queen of the British Empire, the sun never sets, the Americans will not let them go. The strength of the state machine is unimaginable. Guo Jinzhang believes that even if he escapes into the deep mountains and forests of northern Canada and into the Arctic Circle, he may one day be caught up by the Americans. This is not a joke. A powerful country wants to deal with a small group of people, as long as he gets serious, it is not like playing? Besides, what's the point of escaping to live the life of a savage in those few places? That's not the life he wants.
So, escaping, going their own way, hiding anonymity is simply a joke.
Unfortunately, he couldn't persuade these people at all. Although there were few formal battles after several sieges, they did indeed escape death. However, Hou Nan and others, even Qian Shide, who had experienced wars, were still full of fantasies about the future.
"Something is missing."
Setting up camp and resting. Guo Jinzhang slept on the ground and sighed secretly. He knew what everyone was missing, determined, and had a sense of cognition. Hou Nan and others did not realize that since they set up a trap in Angelo Ranch, there was no way out. Although if they didn't do that at that time, the whites would soon chase him again, and they would still not be able to escape. But in a country dominated by whites, a group of Chinese people from vulnerable groups killed a large number of whites, and those whites could not have finished it. They would come again. Didn't the matter prove it later? Although they escaped again and again, there would be a fourth and fifth time. As long as they kept running, the whites would keep chasing him. He
There is a way to relax the whites, that is, to give up most of the Chinese workers... But is this possible? More than 70 deaths have been killed, and this is still the number that everyone has witnessed with their own eyes. Perhaps more deaths have died. Do you have to bury more brothers? That's right, the laws of the United States may not be as strict as Chinese laws. Unless he is like a "prime evilman", other brothers may be sentenced to more than ten or decades of imprisonment if they are arrested. But they are all Chinese! Can Chinese live after being in prison? Even if they can live and waste more than ten or decades of time, it would be better to die early. But if they don't give up, they can only escape and play the "game" of officers and soldiers catching thieves with those whites, and this game is bet on life.
"Let's chase and escape again, I'm going to do this anyway. They will always understand."
Covering the blanket, Guo Jinzhang gradually narrowed his eyes. He has been too tired these days, so he should go to bed early...
The next day, as soon as the sky was dawn, Guo Jinzhang woke up. After getting up, he packed up his things, greeted a few people, and then, like everyone else, continued on the way south.
Gannison is located in the south-central part of Colorado, with mountains nearby. Although they have been far away, they are still difficult to walk on the road. In order to take advantage of Grant and others being temporarily trapped in Gannison to get on the way as soon as possible and leave Colorado as soon as possible, a group of leaders decided to go east and leave the mountainous areas so as to go south as soon as possible. According to the map obtained from Gannison, everyone set the goal of the next stop at Pueblo... Originally, because Pueblo is not small in size and has a small population, everyone was still worried about encountering any trouble there.
There was also a Wan Gongxiang among the crowd. The Chinese worker leader who worked both in Pueblo and farming, patted his chest and promised that there were definitely not many people there. Their nearly 2,000 Chinese workers were enough to deter a group of sluts. If you were careful at that time, you would definitely pass safely. Moreover, nearly 2,000 people were crowded together, and the supplies and other things were also consumed a lot, and they had to be replenished in some areas. Given the population density of Colorado, only Pueblo could provide so many people in the south.
So they passed by two places called Salica and Canon City, and followed a river called the Arkansas River, almost horizontally approaching Pueblo.
Everything went smoothly, so smooth that everyone felt a little unreal, but they were also very excited, as if they were about to leave the United States. Even Guo Jinzhang was a little doubtful if he had made a mistake in inference. Americans were not that scary, but like in the future, there was no profit to make, and they might suffer a big loss. Even if they had already suffered a big loss, they would never care about it anymore, just like in Somalia...
But is this really the case?
"Where are they now?"
“It should be arriving in Pueblo soon.”
"Then let Pueblo be their grave!"
Colorado Prince!
Not long ago, Grant was pulling votes here to warm up before the governor's election. It was here that he heard what happened in Denver and knew that the Colorado capital had suffered the most terrible disaster since its establishment. So he had to change his itinerary and rushed back in a hurry. Then, in Denver, he took the opportunity to suppress Charlotte, intending to turn Charlotte into his own puppet, and sent militias to eliminate the Chinese workers who created the Denver incident. Unfortunately, both plans failed.
Charlotte knew that he was facing a desperate situation, but he refused to give up his position as mayor, and would rather face impeachment than compromise with him. The militia sent out were "successfully" captured by all members under Major Jacques, which made him extremely passive. The Chinese workers did not end there after the victory, but instead had to carry out any prisoner exchange activities... Fortunately, the State Council did not want to make a big deal, and restrained many media. In addition, his own power in Colorado was not small, and finally bound the matter within a controllable range. Then, he took the Chinese workers to designate a few people to Colorado together.
Of course it is not about reconciliation.
It has reached this point. If we reconcile, wouldn’t it be the image of Grant’s incompetence? However, the Chinese people’s request to exchange the missing Denver Chinese workers made it very difficult for him to deal with it. Because he really couldn’t find any missing Chinese workers. Denver had no Chinese workers long ago. Moreover, even if one or two were found, he could really exchange for as many as five hundred militias to come back? It is definitely impossible to judge others by oneself. So, he simply pushed the House to directly pass the bill to expel all Chinese people, and then used this as a reason to order all Chinese workers to arrest all local workers, and then sent them to Gannison by militia from all over the country... He wanted to solve those dishonest guys in Gannison.
But no one expected that he would eventually be trapped in Gannison.
Because of the behavior of the militias with bad disciplines and the disappearance of Mayor Elliot Barry, the citizens of Gannison were very dissatisfied with him and blocked him in the house... He would not be allowed to come out if Barry did not come back. At the same time, his people found that the telegram was blocked, making it impossible for them to contact the outside world quickly... Then, two days later, several curious and brave militiamen secretly approached the camp of the Chinese workers who were blocked by the thirty-foot stone wall at night, and were hit by a pile of inexplicably rolling stones and were shocked.
, while shooting, and running away, but they found something wrong not long after running out... The Chinese did not fight back! Well, this may be the Chinese who were watching their jokes, or they might just want to save bullets, after all, were they running away? But these militiamen didn't think so much, especially when they found that the Chinese lying on the stone wall were keeping the same movements as they had a few days ago, they became even more "curious" and took the courage to approach the past again... After that, it became simple. The militiamen found that there were no people in the stone wall, and there were several lanyard ladders hanging on the cliff...
Everything is understood.
He was fooled!
The governor of Colorado was fooled by a group of barbaric and uncivilized Chinese!
Grant felt like a clown on the circus!
This is not the most hateful thing. The most hateful thing is the militia... those guys actually admire the Chinese who can climb the cliff 600 feet high without knowing it, and cheer for the lack of war with the Chinese! Because they were really afraid of the thick stone wall as high as thirty feet.
However, no matter how hateful it was, he could not punish those guys, because they were militias, and even officers were almost elected by themselves. Even the great predecessors of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson could not completely clean up a group of mud. The only highlight of their entire American history was that they formed the Continental Army, defeated the British, and then there was no more commendable. During the Civil War, the results of 100,000 militias were not as great as those of 10,000 regular Northern Army.
So, he had no choice but to pour his anger on the Chinese.
He secretly left Gannison... This was really pitiful. As the governor of Colorado, he was going to run away secretly in the city where Colorado belongs... The shame was simply a lifelong shame, but fortunately, he successfully ran out... and then hurriedly left under the protection of several trusted militias, and arrived at the town of Ledville, where he received the telegram.
The Chinese ran away. However, the team close to 2,000 people could not have any trace at all. In Ledville, he contacted various places, first sent people to pull out the militias in Gannison, and mobilized more militias from other places, especially in Denver, and organized five hundred people to go south. At the same time, he sent a stalk militia to follow the paths the Chinese walked along, and soon discovered the group of Chinese. However, this time he was not as anxious as before.
He had seen the cunning degree of these Chinese people. To be honest, he was actually very impressed by being able to run out of the Black Canyon. Who could have thought of leading the team over the almost upright cliff? If the guy who thought of this idea was born in Spain a long time ago, maybe he could block Napoleon who had crossed the Pyrenees. Unfortunately, that guy was born too late. He just took a group of workers to cross the Black Canyon, which was only six hundred feet high, and he would only have this performance opportunity. After that, he would leave and must leave!
The citizens of Gannison were angry when they learned that he had "escaped", but after Elliot Barry appeared, they let Chalak stay there, so Chalak soon arrived at Ledville. Although he was in a very embarrassed state, he still rushed over. Unfortunately, the militia could not come... Even though he knew that he needed manpower in urgent need of his place, the guys were still rushing on the road slowly, and Chalak could not do anything to them.
In despair, he had no choice but to order those guys to follow the Chinese to block the possible retreat of the Chinese. At the same time, he ran to Colorado Prince with Charac. Prince was his hometown, almost like the base camp. Here, he contacted Denver, Lakewood, Aurora and other places. He finally assembled nearly a thousand militias within a few days, and then sent these militias to the south and blocked the Chinese.
"Let Pueblo be the grave of the Chinese."
Grant gritted his teeth, his face tense like a blue rock, as if he wanted to chew people into pieces at any time... Everyone present knew that he had hated the Chinese to the core, and no one reminded him that this sentence was actually not what a governor should say. After all, what is the Chinese, right?
"But I don't think it's a good choice to eliminate the Chinese in Pueblo."
"Major Jacob!" Chalakhan stared at the face that had just raised his face from the map, "You have to be responsible for what you said."
"I just made an opinion, and it's your business." Jacques leaned on a crutch and was wrapped in a white bandage... He was pulled to Colorado Prince by Grant before he arrived in Denver. The road was bumpy and miserable. He didn't know why Grant asked him, the wounded, to come forward. It was not until he arrived at Grant's command that he realized that the governor had just suffered a loss from the Chinese as he did. He was so frustrated that he was dying, but he couldn't say it out... And he was honored to become the governor's staff officer. Who said that he had suffered losses? If he had experience, he could always be a little cautious, right?
"Why is Pueblo inappropriate?" Grant was not angry with Jacques' words like Chalak. He had suffered losses from the Chinese. Although he had not lost anything practical, the decline in reputation was obvious, so he could not tolerate any carelessness at all now. The Chinese could not run out in his hands for the third time!
"Pueblo is a very important food production area in Colorado, with a flat terrain..."
"Isn't that more conducive to us defeating the Chinese?" Chalak interrupted Jacques' analysis. Unlike Grant, he felt that he was a little sympathetic with Jacques. He didn't have much affection for Jacques. He had been captured by the Chinese, right? And all the people were captured, almost not even resisting, and he was embarrassed to give advice? "The Chinese are actually not very strong. Yes, they are very cunning, but they have never really competed with our militia... Thinking of them walking near the edge of the Rocky Mountain and even entering the mountainous areas, then we can be sure that they are afraid of confronting us. Therefore, fighting on the plains, our militia should be able to defeat the Chinese very quickly, and because most of our militias are equipped with horses, they can catch up with them quickly after defeating them, without fear of them running away."
"What you said makes sense. But Pueblo is close to the Arkansas River!" Jacques pointed to the map and said with a smile.
"So what? Is there a river that is not right to stop the Chinese from escaping?" Chalak asked back.
"But that river can also stop us." Jacques shrugged, and was speechless at the military mind of the secretary of state in front of him. "Gentlemen, through the map we can see that the Arkansas River flows out of Colorado, passing through Kansas, Oklahoma, entering Arkansas, and rushing into the Mississippi River there... This is a shortcut. Gentlemen, it's very close and convenient! In fact, I have always suspected that the reason why those Chinese people are willing to deviate from the mountains and turn to the flatter Pueblo is to leave the Arkansas River!"
"Leave Colorado through the Arkansas River?" Grant was shocked by Jacques' words, and immediately rushed to the map, and then found the winding river... The Arkansas River was exactly through Pueblo!
"So what? We can stop them." Chalak said with a frown.
"It's a river, a long river, sir," Jacob smiled: "Chinese people can board the boat at any location, well, as long as they can find tools."
"The Chinese won't do this. If they leave along the Arkansas River, we can completely stop them at their must-pass..." Grant said suddenly.
"The Chinese must have thought of this, so they would not follow the Arkansas River to Arkansas or Mississippi, but should leave the Arkansas River basin in a certain area and turn to other directions. However, starting from Pueblo and heading east along the Arkansas River is not far from the state boundary, and we cannot let them leave Colorado, right?" Jacques still smiled.
"Yes, you can't let them leave Colorado." Grant gritted his teeth.
"What should I do? Block the Arkansas River?" Chalak asked with a bitter face.
Chapter completed!
