Chapter 284 Taiping Jin Kingdom
If the White Eagle Federation doesn't care much about the behavior of the aborigines taking advantage of the fire, after all, they understand that the aborigines can't make a fortune, and the news of the Tang people's rebellion in the upper Jinzhou only makes the northern federal government feel angry, then what comes next The news successfully cast a shadow over the morale of the Federation in the north, and many people were pessimistic about the war with the south.

The third piece of news is that a group of Tang troops raided Los Angeles, the core of the Lower Golden State, and the Lower Golden State region, with a total population of nearly 3, fell quickly, and more than [-] federal citizens were brought under control. Most of the gold diggers from various countries, mainly Modu people, are deported from the country who are unwilling to accept the management, and most of them still live the gold digging career in the past.

Then this Tang army announced the establishment of the Taiping Jin State, and the leader called himself the King of Jin.

The reason why the title of Jin was chosen was because Xie’s ancestors belonged to a wealthy family dominated by the Jin country, and it was barely possible to say that they inherited the name of Jin. In addition, Taiping did not forget their origins, but it was not easy to call them directly. The Kingdom of Heaven, after all, Xie Hongyuan was originally just a commander in chief with the false title of Lord Marquis, not the clan or prince of the Kingdom of Heaven.

As a behind-the-scenes participant, Xie Zihao's initial plan was to gather the power of the Tang people together, support a leader, and then form a force to join the camp of aborigines headed by the Sioux and provide them with advanced culture. , farming, and weapon making.

After all, the number of Tang people is currently limited, and the battle with the White Eagle Federation still requires the more populous aborigines to attract firepower at the front. Besides, the Tang people don't contribute at all, not to mention food and materials. It is a big help for the aborigines.

People in the Tang Dynasty may not be able to manufacture the most advanced revolving firearms and cannons, but flintlock guns can still be manufactured. After all, craftsmen could forge them by hand as early as the Ming Dynasty.

And with Xie Zihao's various tools and weapons that are relatively leading in this era, after he leaves, he must be able to achieve sustainable development and innovation, so it should not be a problem to hold a territory in North America.

As for the territory of the Tang people, Xie Zihao chose Saramento from the beginning, which is the capital of the Golden State.

But it is the state capital, and the locals prefer to call it the original name Sutter Camp, which is actually a grass-roots team built by a group of people who came to the west, just like a group of people who went to the east of the Guandong to build a town on the land of the northeast. Same.

Saramento was not actually established as a city until 1863.

In other words, this time is the best chance to capture here. As long as there are 5000 people, we are 1% sure to capture Saramento. With [-] people, he thinks that this camp can be held, and assumes it is the real camp. town.

However, in San Francisco and the northern part of the Golden State in Sacramento, at least now there are more than 1 Chinese gold diggers, and there are more than [-] soldiers from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hiding in South America in the north of San Francisco. The miners headed by the Tang people.

There are gold mines, resources, and large tracts of land in the northern part of Jinzhou, enough for the Tang people to take root and live here.There are also ports close to the coast that can continuously import Chinese immigrants. As long as there are enough people, it may not be a dream to build a Tang Dynasty country on the west coast in the current situation of large and sparsely populated western North America.

Therefore, the raids on San Francisco and Saramento went very smoothly. With Hongmen, a local snake, as the internal response, many extraordinary masters as the attackers, and more than 4000 Taiping Army veterans as the main force, it was a coincidence, and it was a dignified and upright strategy. The momentum instantly overwhelmed the Jinzhou State Council, which had no regular army at all, and took the upper Jinzhou area in half a day.

On the contrary, it will be more troublesome to take the offensive of Los Angeles later, because Los Angeles is the largest city in the West at present and in the future, with a total population of nearly 10 people. In addition to about 1 registered citizens of the Federation, there are four There are [-] floating population and various black households. Although more than [-] of them belong to Tang people, there are more other ethnic groups.

Fortunately, among those federal people and floating population, a large part of them are gold diggers from Modu in the south, or they were from Modu in the past. After the White Eagle Federation occupied the Golden State, these people did not leave, so These people are quite hostile towards the White Eagle Federation.

In fact, until later generations, the Golden State would still preach independence from time to time. Now it has been forced to merge into the White Eagle in the early ten years, especially in the southern Lower Golden State, which is the area that resists the White Eagle Federation most strongly, so After the Taiping Army captured the main cities, many people gave up their resistance and waited to see how the White Eagle Federal Government would deal with it.

Looking at it this way, one can see that the Golden State and even the entire west seem to be getting farther and farther away from the White Eagle Federation. In a month, half a year, a year, or two years, the rule of the Tang people is becoming more and more stable, and it is difficult to regain a posture in their lifetime. .

It is not the first time that the Taiping Army has dealt with foreigners, so in Jinzhou, it has implemented a rule combining leniency and strictness. On the one hand, it welcomes gold diggers to enter the country to pan for gold, and they station troops in various gold mining areas in the territory to collect taxes and maintain Public security, the establishment of taverns and restaurants and other logistical supply facilities; on the other hand, the rule is that all gold diggers must pay a 5.00% tax.

The advantage of this is that the Taiping Jin Kingdom can guarantee their legal income while providing later guarantees, at least they will not be robbed in public.

This has won the support of the majority of gold diggers. This is much better than the previous Golden State Council's foolish approach that not only benefits but also does not maintain order. The gold diggers, especially the most common gold diggers All feel safer.

Xie Hongyuan and his team don’t have the old routines of the traditional middle-earth civil servants, nor the greed and ignorance of cunning officials. They know that as long as they give enough benefits to those gold diggers, they will be able to settle down. Of course they are strong. Force is still necessary.

As for gold mines, it is not so important to a country.

What's more, those shops, taverns and other service industries opened by the government mainly collect gold and gold and silver coins from various countries, plus a 5.00% gold tax, it can also ensure that at least [-]% of the gold mined every year returns to the government, increasing The gold and silver reserves of the Taiping Jin Kingdom.

So why is it necessary for the government to seize the gold mines and mine them by itself, and then arouse the dissatisfaction and hostility of tens of thousands of gold diggers, and add those enemies and troubles for itself out of thin air?

This is the advantage of the military government. It can achieve centralization, government orders, and less opposition voices. Of course, you can also call it a dictatorship, but I have to say that such a ruling model is very useful and very efficient.

As for the separation of civil and military affairs, the Taiping and Jin Kingdoms are also slowly progressing, but they probably won't be so thorough in the first ten years of the founding of the country. After all, this country still has to face many threats from the outside world.

It is estimated that it will take at least 20 years for the new generation to grow up before the power of civil servants will slowly climb up.

During this process, Xie Zihao also put forward many suggestions relying on the perspective of later generations, and most of them were adopted.After all, as an outsider, Xie Zihao has no interests of his own in the Taiping Jin Kingdom, and he will not lean towards any side. What he said is relatively pertinent and everyone agrees.

This is also the fact that in just two years, the Taiping Jin State has developed into a vast area of ​​several pieces of land in the three states surrounding Jinzhou. After Hongmen revoked the title of Dongning and merged into the Taiping Jin State, the population has reached nearly 30. Ten thousand, more than [-]% of them are the strength of immigrants from the Tang Dynasty.

Yes, it is powerful, because this country with a population of nearly 30 and a combined army of [-] is considered a big force in the entire New World, especially in the sparsely populated western part of North America, the fighting power that the Taiping Army can produce is absolutely It is the strongest side.
