Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 264 Bewitching people
With the help of local snakes like Hongmen, Xie Zihao can easily understand the general situation in the Jinzhou area.

Although Sacramento is the capital of the so-called Golden State, its population and area are far inferior to San Francisco in the west and Los Angeles in the south.

The Guangdong Guild Hall here is just a branch. The Guangdong Guild Hall in San Francisco is the largest Tang organization on the west coast. Besides the Guangdong Guild Hall, there is also the Minnan Guild Hall. People who like to go out to sea are not only people from Guangdong and Guangxi, but also from Fujian. The province has been like this since ancient times.

In this unfamiliar new continent, although the two sides have had conflicts since ancient times, they are still holding together to keep warm at this time. In addition, they belong to the Hongmen. The Cantonese and the Fujianese may have some disputes in private, but there is no problem in the righteousness. , are all grasshoppers on a rope.

Although Liang Sanshou is the helm of the Hongmen in North America, there are still several elders inside, and he needs to communicate with them, so he took Xie Zihao and others to San Francisco, the headquarters of the Hongmen.

Of course, there were no decent railways in the west at this time. Since Golden State became the No. 30 state of the federal government in [-], Golden State and its adjacent areas have been Gold has attracted a large number of people from the eastern part of the Federation and people from all over the world.

Until the outbreak of the Civil War in [-], although the eastern part of the Union east of the Mississippi River had a relatively developed railway network, there were almost no railways in the west, and the traffic between the east and the west was extremely difficult.

But now in this year, if you want to travel in the western inland, you have to take a horse-drawn carriage besides a boat.

Of course, Xie Zihao would not choose such a slow way of transportation. He directly asked Liang Sanshou to board his own paper carriage. It took less than an hour to drive from Saramento to San Francisco, one of the most important cities in the west at this time. city.

This is an extraordinary speed, even if Liang Sanshou is a Daoist practitioner, he can't help being a little shocked when he sees it.

Because what he practiced was the Taoist inner alchemy method, combined with some miscellaneous arts. Although he was dressed as a Taoist, he was not the real Taoist Zhengyi who gave the scriptures and the Quanzhen Taoist priest who received the precepts.

His own strength is better at health preservation, and his fighting skills are worse, not to mention the Taoist four arts of Taoist alchemy. Among them, he has a little bit of research in alchemy. After all, inner alchemy and outer alchemy have the same principle. In the early years, the Inner Alchemy School was a school formed by later generations studying and comprehending the classics of the Outer Alchemy method written by the predecessors.

So after feeling Xie Zihao's miraculous paper piercing technique, this Hongmen tycoon couldn't help admiring:
"Such thaumaturgy, if used in marching and fighting, those secular armies may be vulnerable!"

Xie Zihao shook his head.

"Although this spell is good, it can't replace the army. After all, my generation of cultivators hastily intervened in the change of dynasty, but it is a taboo thing. The evil spirit of the army alone is enough to make ghosts retreat!"

In this dream world, that's all. Xie Zihao understands that with this ability, it is difficult for him to retreat from the classical army with tens of thousands of people, let alone the modern army armed with various high-tech weapons.

Moreover, the evil spirit of the army mentioned here is actually a kind of power of human order. It is a torrent of humanity formed by the gathering of people's thoughts. If you follow this wave, practitioners will get enough benefits. On the contrary, if you fight against it, then Only the fate of the mantis whose arms were crushed by the wheels in the car.

Liang Sanshou, as a traditional practitioner, has a thorough understanding of these modern time travelers who are not like Xie Zihao, but he also knows the truth. It is a pity that he said:

"It's a pity, otherwise, with your abilities like Xie Xiaoyou, you can go to this new continent, and it is not difficult to win the position of a prince."

Xie Zihao also smiled and did not speak. The carriage drove all the way into the old city of San Francisco. The situation here is more prosperous than that of Saramento. After all, Saramento is just a transfer station for gold diggers, and San Francisco As an area where gold mines have been discovered for more than ten years, Jinshan City, as Tang people call it, naturally has a larger population than Saramento, which rose later.

In a building that is more magnificent than the Cantonese Guild Hall in Saramento, Xie Zihao met several other bigwigs and a group of key members of the Hongmen, but it may be because of the older relationship, he does not know the people here, occasionally one or two The one whose surname sounds familiar should also be the ancestor of the members of the modern Hongmen.

In the Hongmen headquarters, Xie Zihao once again described the set of rhetoric he told Liang Sanshou.

Then he could see that the big men from the big family were all tempted, especially those who belonged to the younger generation. Their blood had not been drained by the society, and they were even more passionate when they heard the words. Damn.

On the contrary, there were a few more mature and prudent ones, who pulled Xie Zihao and began to ask about the specific situation.

Based on the information provided by Hongmen, Xie Zihao drew a circle on a map and said:
"I think San Francisco and Sacramento are in the upper Golden State area in the northern Golden State, which is the best place for us to fight."

Others basically agreed with the words.

Because there are at least [-] Chinese gold diggers in Shangjinzhou, and there are about [-] Chinese people in the Los Angeles area. After all, the gold mines there are newly discovered, and there are more opportunities to get rich overnight. .

But the Lower Golden State where Los Angeles is located, because of the natural port and the closer relationship with the eastern route of the White Eagle Federation, the White Eagle Federation has far more immigrants than the Upper Golden State in the north, and before that, it was Brother Modu There are a lot of Modu Ge people left in the territory of the country, and the number of these people is increasing with the news of the gold mine. Every day, hundreds of Mo Du Ge people cross the border and come to Jinzhou to pan for gold. , so in the Los Angeles area of ​​the Lower Golden State, the Tang people did not have a population advantage.

After listening to Xie Zihao's analysis, Liang Sanshou touched the beard on his chin and said:

"That is to say, as long as we can win Upper Golden State, Xie Xiaoyou and this black soil friend can mobilize the natives of Golden State to form an alliance with us and help each other?"

Xie Zihao assured:

"Of course, we Tang people have all kinds of daily necessities such as salt, oil, sugar, wine, and iron pots. These are what the aboriginal tribes are in urgent need of. In addition, I can provide some weapons to arm both the Tang people and the aborigines."

A strong man from Hongmen couldn't help saying happily when he heard the words:

"That couldn't be better. Although those foreigners wished to sell us all other materials, but they were very strict about firearms, so that we haven't even formed a musketeer team of [-] people. If we can With a thousand muskets, no, five hundred, I will be sure enough to take San Francisco and Saramento."

Liang Sanshou introduced to Xie Zihao:
"Master Yu Tuo learned from Southern Shaolin. It is said that it is the inheritance left by Yu Wuxiang, the former Yu Long Qihu. He is the master of our Hongmen Garrison Hall. He is in charge of a group of young gang members and is responsible for their training."

Xie Zihao nodded when he heard the words, and understood that this should be the person in charge of recruit training who is equivalent to Hongmen, and he is also in charge of force, so he said:

"Master Yu, but don't worry, five hundred firearms are no problem for me, even if it is one thousand two thousand, I can even get you cannons if you want them, but the number of weapons I can get is somewhat limited , need to explain to everyone in advance!"
