1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 411
Although California is a new state that has been established for less than five years, there has been a trend that the coastal areas are more economically developed than the inland areas, and this trend has intensified with the depletion of the Sacramento gold mines.

Part of the reason for the relocation of California's administrative center from the coast to the inland is to drive the economy of the inland area and narrow the economic gap between the inland area and the coastal area.

The political center and the economic center overlap, making it easy for resources to overlap to the center.

In the long run, this is by no means a good thing.

The change of the administrative center made Sutter very happy, not only Sacramento can benefit from the relocation of the administrative center.

Even lawmakers in the Sacramento area are speaking louder in the state legislature.

"Yes, the sky in Sacramento is bluer than that of San Francisco, the water is clearer than that of San Francisco, and even the air to breathe is more comfortable than that of San Francisco," Ge Wen said.

Ge Wen didn't mean to be sarcastic. The environment in San Francisco, which is industrially developed, is indeed worse than that in Sacramento.The environment in Los Angeles, which started with the oil industry, is even worse.

In comparison, after some mining areas have been closed one after another, the environment in the Sacramento area is getting better and better. It is the best environment among the three major cities in California.

Sacramento is a better city to live in than San Francisco.

"I don't know how the war in Borneo is going. We have postponed the governor's election for half a year. I hope that General Liang and Congressman Fremont can catch up with this election." Sutter said.

"Governor Robinson doesn't want to be re-elected?" Ge Wen was a little surprised.

"Governor Robinson wants to go to Kansas." Sutter laughed.

After Robinson left office, Liang Yao was the most suitable candidate for governor, followed by Fremont.

Considering that Liang Yao had previously disclosed intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted Fremont to be elected as the second Californian.

After Robinson leaves office, the candidate for governor is likely to be Fremont.

Fremont is the person who has contributed the most to California besides Liang Yao, and they have no objection to letting Fremont be the governor.

"Kansas? A riot is happening there, what is Robinson doing in this muddy water?" Ge Wen frowned.

Since 1854, Kansas, at the junction of the slave state and the free state, has become the center of this political struggle. Almost every week, they can receive fanatical abolitionists and fanatical abolitionists from the Kansas area. News of the pitched battle in Kansas.

At first it was an armed brawl between two parties in Kansas, and later it evolved into a gun battle. It is said that it has now developed to the point where the two sides have raised their cannons to bombard each other.

"For some, Kansas is muddy water right now, but for some, it's opportunity," Sutter said.

------------------

The war in Borneo is moving in a direction that is beneficial to Liang Yao.

Due to the harassment of pirates, the assembly time of the East Indies Fleet of the Dutch and Indian authorities was forced to be postponed.

This also meant that in the short term, the reinforcements that Andersen was thinking of would not be able to reach West Borneo, which made it possible for Liang Yao to wipe out Andersen's Dutch and Indian troops.

The defeat of the Dutch Indian Army also made Pontianak Sultan Al Kadri's attitude towards the Dutch Indian Army increasingly shaken.

Alkadri sent envoys to contact Liang Yao many times, expressing their willingness to abandon the Netherlands and invest in China, and hoped that Liang Yao could accept them.

To show his sincerity, Al Kadri even boldly reduced the food supplies provided to the Dutch Indian Army.

This made Anderson very angry.

However, the current situation is very unfavorable to Andersen, and Andersen also knows that if the relationship with the Pontianak Sultanate is now deadlocked, their food supplies will be in crisis.

At the same time, it will also push Alkadri to Liang Yao's side, standing on the opposite side of himself.

Thinking of this, Anderson still endured it.

Just endured the more he thought about it for a while, and Andersen never thought that he would be manipulated by the natives of Borneo Island before.

The governor of Hong Kong, Wen Xian, is not in a hurry to return to Hong Kong. He intends to stay in Pontianak and continue to observe how Liang Yao's army fought.

As far as Wen Xian knew, a rising military force in the Qing court: Yue Yong was trained by Liang Yao.

This army is different from other lifeless armies within the Qing court, full of vigor and vitality.

He has performed well in recent wars.

Perhaps knowing Liang Yao's western brigade can also understand Yueyong to a certain extent.

At the same time, Wen Xian also sent a message to the Hong Kong garrison, preparing to let the British East India Company occupy the northern part of Borneo Island while Liang Yao was fighting fiercely with the Dutch and Indian authorities.

After all, he and Liang Yao have signed a treaty in black and white, and the land of North Borneo will be the first to be served first.

Liang Yao was not in a hurry to drive Wen Xian away. When the war in West Borneo came to an end, he also needed a middleman to mediate the negotiations between him and the Dutch and Indian authorities.

As the governor of Hong Kong, Bonham is a good mediator candidate.

Wen Xian's intentions in staying in Pontianak City were not pure, and Liang Yao had already seen this.

Wen Xian wanted to visit the Boldness several times, but Liang Yao refused for various reasons.

After Elvis returned to Pontianak, the time to annihilate the main force of the Dutch-Indian army in West Borneo finally came.

Except for the 500 Umbrella mercenary armed forces who were left in East West Law to maintain order in the occupied area.

The main force of the Western Brigade has gathered in Pontianak and the coastal defense line at the mouth of the Kapuas River.

"We captured many senior executives of Lanfang Company in Dongwanlu, but it's a pity that the two chief culprits, Liu Shoushan and Ye Tingfan, were nowhere to be found. We searched the entire Dongwanlu and found no trace of them. "Elvis said regretfully.

"Most likely they went to the Dutch side. Sooner or later, the debt will be settled with them. Even if they go to Amsterdam, I have a way to bring them to justice."

Liang Yao was not surprised by this, he said to Elvis.

"Let the brothers eat and drink well and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle with the Dutch and Indian troops."

"Decisive battle?" Elvis was a little surprised.

"Yes, a decisive battle." Liang Yao said with a smile.

"The main force of the Dutch-Indian army in West Borneo is outside Pontianak City."

"Their commander is out of his mind? Instead of defending Kendawangan, he brought the main force to the city of Pontianak for us to eat? It seems that Andersen's name as a famous general is just a name."

Elvis couldn't understand the brain circuit of the commander of the Dutch Indian Army.

Right now, the Dutch and Indian authorities have temporarily lost their command of the sea, and supplies are suffering.

At this time, sending troops to encircle Pontianak is simply to give up all your advantages and use your own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths.

Elvis had always heard that Andersen was a famous general of the Dutch-Indian Army, and he was an existence that made the chiefs on the island of Borneo change their colors.

It's just that after Anterson's series of show operations, it is difficult for Elvis to recognize Anderson as a famous general. Elvis even feels that Anderson is not even a qualified commander.

"A famous general? An incompetent famous general."

After several rounds of fighting, Liang Yao also felt that he had overestimated Anderson and the Dutch Indian Army.

The so-called famous generals of the Dutch and Indian Army were nothing more than Andersen putting gold on his face.

Even in the War of Holland, Andersen's performance was nothing extraordinary and commendable.

According to the collected information, Liang Yao judged that Batavia would not be able to provide reinforcements to Andersen for at least one to two weeks.

Liang Yao sent a telegram to Fremont and Kruger who were on the coast, asking them to prepare for a general attack on the main force of the Dutch-Indian army under Anderson's command tomorrow, and wipe out all the troops in the West Borneo area in one fell swoop. The main force of the Dutch Indian Army.
