Chapter 192: The opponent falls down before he contributes

November 1, 1863, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

Boom! Boom!

The ships on the sea were fired at one hundred guns at the same time, and the shells were filled with powerful power, and they hit the city overwhelmingly... It seems that they were a little bit of a past as a city.

"Run!"

"Comrades! For the Empire!"

"Comrades! For the sake of the Emperor!"

After the guns were shot, the revolutionary army on the land came from Los Angeles and headed south through San Diego. They were like tigers on the mountain and rushed towards the...

It seems to be a big farm!

At this time, Tijuana did have a good name, but there were really no people in this place, just a farm, with dozens of families around it.

When Li Mengyang got this information, he couldn't believe it because he had seen the border cities between the United States and Mexico. His memory was particularly profound at that time, and the scene was very interesting.

Mexico is very prosperous, with many people and large cities, while the United States is very desolate, with some deserts, and even if it is not a desert, that place will be abandoned there, with barbed wire and long barbed wire in the middle, which separates the two countries.

The information I received before was that Mexico has a large population, so Li Mengyang thought that Baja California should be a lot of people, but unexpectedly, the gap between this place and his imagination was too big.

I think the scene in later generations is because the United States is better, while the people in Mexico just want to go to the Hope Country and find hope!

And now, California is not a particularly good place. There may be a gold rush. But that is very dangerous. Therefore, Baja California is still a vast land that is almost like a wasteland.

This place is also very interesting. It looks quite small, but there are many mountains, and the desert and Gobi are the traditional impression of Mexico. In other words, there are probably not many arable land, no wonder the Americans don’t want it!

But it doesn't matter. Li Mengyang and his ministers have discussed that building this place will be of great benefit to the entire empire, that is, it can connect the entire California into a whole without having to divide the upper and lower parts like before. In this way, the elbow and armpit will not appear. The side of his bed will be safe.

"Report!"

"Speaking!"

"Your Majesty! Our First Army has successfully landed! The Second Army and the Third Army entered Tijuana from the northwest and northeast directions. The enemy fled in fear!"

"very good!"

This battle naturally went smoothly and couldn't be smoother. It was too easy for 10,000 people to attack such a place. Moreover, their weapons were much better than their opponents, and they basically didn't even have resistance.

Now Mexico's main military forces are on the larger Mexican land in the east. Now the French army is still attacking the Juarez regime's troops. It is very large and has a large population. Millions of Mexico's population are basically concentrated there.

Standing on the Imperial** ship, which is the merchant ship that was modified before, Li Mengyang had already taken the victory into his pocket and took off his telescope. He asked to the generals around him: "Everyone, where should we attack next?"

"Your Majesty! I think we should attack Ensenada immediately. It is not a good supply port. After taking it, the entire west side of Baja California will be in the empire!" The first person to speak was Samuel DuPont. He is quite familiar with the sea area of ​​Baja California. Although he hasn't walked much before, there are only one or two who can really make ports.

Otherwise, no one wants this place, it seems that it is indeed not a good place.

"Your Majesty! I think I should attack Mexico right away. I heard that an American geologist visited it and said that the land there was relatively fertile, but the water source was too small, and there was mostly deserts around it. But in fact, there was a tributary of the Colorado River nearby, which means that as long as we do some projects, we can have a good land."

This time, Okashi was speaking. As for this information, it was actually the briefing in the newspaper I had found before. There was no way. There was too little information these days, even if it was such a geological thing.

Now, the navy and the army generals have expressed their opinions, and in fact they are just going south and the other going west. So how should we choose?

"Attack whatever you want!" This is Li Mengyang's choice!

Everyone understands it.

“allhaillee!”

“allhaillee!”

Li Mengyang's meaning is also very clear, that is, the troops are divided into two groups, the navy fights south, looking at the map, there are all mountains here, and I heard that most of these mountains are volcanoes, no wonder there is no one.

It is estimated that there were not many indigenous people, and later the colonists came, and then they killed one after another. If it weren't for the purpose of running to the United States in later generations, it would have been such a place that the Mexicans would not have come back.

Naturally, the army could not attack south because they were all mountains and they walked too slowly, so it would be better to go west first and then go south.

In other words, this terrain has to fight like this, and there is no other way. So will the empire's army encounter any powerful enemies?

November 10th.

"Report!"

"Speaking!"

"Mexicali has been captured by our army! The defenders of Yuma Town, the First Army and the Third Army, divided into 100 troops, attacked Mexico and went down in one battle!"

"Oh?" Li Mengyang was still unhappy when he heard this?

“allhaillee!”

“allhaillee!”

When the army heard this news, it was thundering again. His Majesty the Emperor was simply a god of war. Before the army had passed, it had already taken down that city!

Li Mengyang was following the army at this time. Because of the naval affairs, he actually didn't understand it very well. As the saying goes, don't interfere if you don't understand. Li Mengyang still understands it very well, but now it's too surprising. However, he still noticed some details, that is, the defenders of Youma Town have made great contributions before.

"Who is the one who planned the telegram this time?" Li Mengyang asked such a question.

"Report to Your Majesty! The Third Army, the Cultural Instructor of the 1st Company of the Third Battalion, 35th Regiment of the 8th Division, Lieutenant Yang Willie!"

It should be said that Yang Weili was promoted and promoted one level. In the previous victory, the officers were basically promoted one level, and the soldiers were rewarded, and all those who could be promoted were raised.

"It's him again..." Li Mengyang thought to himself, but he didn't say too much. "Comrades!"

“allhaillee!”

"The way forward! Our comrades have opened us! Now I order! Keep going!"

“allhaillee!”

“allhaillee!”

Li Mengyang's army entered Mexico three days later along the original Southern American Post Road!

At this time, Mexico Gali, in Li Mengyang's eyes, could not be said to be a city at all, or like Tijuana, like a farm, but it is already a big town in Baja California.

"Your Majesty! The soldiers of the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 35th Regiment are already waiting for you outside!"

"very good!"

Li Mengyang agreed and walked out of his tent. The tables were already set up outside, and the top was quite rich. You know, the food level of our Chinese people is definitely the best. Obviously, this is a celebration banquet. Maybe the conditions are a little worse, but the food is definitely a lot of effort.

“allhaillee!”

“allhaillee!”

As soon as Li Mengyang appeared, it immediately became a warm slogan, and the soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

Li Mengyang was really a little used to it now, and he walked steadily to the banquet, and a steady aura of a superior came out.

This seems to be the so-called "no anger, self-respect"?

Li Mengyang ignored this and only saw him raise a glass of wine, "Comrades! You should cheer for our heroes now! They defeated the more with less! They captured this city! We should thank them! By the way, why not just call this company a hero company?!"

“allhaillee!”

“allhaillee!”

"Hero Company! What a great title!" This guy Liszt is here, why don't you hurry up at this time?

So, after a lot of praise, don't say that, Liszt has put a lot of thought into this, and the words are different...

Since this city was won by our "Hero Company", they will naturally be commended.

The title of Hero Company was also temporarily thought of by Li Mengyang. Of course, he has heard a lot of this title in later generations. What are the Sharp Knife Company, Steel Company, and Steel Seventh Company... Oh, it seems that there is one...

Li Mengyang said that he had indeed watched that TV series, but he also understood that this was actually an honor. Soldiers should pursue these things!

This is true for any country, and this is true for soldiers!

So, after thinking about this, Li Mengyang told Liszt at the celebration banquet.

"This kind of title should be regarded as honor, but this kind of honor should not be given easily, but it must not be given to others."

"this……"

Just this sentence is enough for Liszt to reminisce, but for this celebration banquet, Li Mengyang actually wanted to see someone.

"Your Majesty! The cultural instructor of the 1st Company of the 35th Regiment of the 8th Division of the Third Army, Yang Weili saluted you!"

"very good!"

In Li Mengyang's tent, a young Chinese officer stood up straight and saluted His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire. Yes, this Yang Willie is the person Li Mengyang wants to meet... (To be continued...)
