In fact, the reason why DuPont came to Queretaro was particularly simple, that was, he fired a cannon in the south, and felt that it was useless at all, so he led the fleet to the north....

As a result, he naturally encountered the army led by Li Mengyang. So Samuel DuPont learned that there are still fewer imperial troop transport ships now, which are a bit insufficient.

So what's the point? Hurry up, I am the navy, and the warship temporarily acts as a troop transport ship.

Anyway, there are not so many warships these days. They not only fight wars, but also transport people, and they also transport goods more often... Anyway, they can do everything, with many functions, comparable to the Swiss army knife in the future. There is no way, the warships these days are not so divided. In fact, this is a ship equipped with cannons.

However, you should know that the empire's military service is divided into north and south, and the south is led by His Majesty the Emperor, so the north cannot be ignored. There are more than 30,000 Indians and their horses.

So DuPont divided his fleet into two parts, one in the south and one in the north. Since His Majesty the Emperor is in the south, how can he, the relative of His Majesty the Emperor, not stay in the south?

In fact, it is true, because if we go north in the west of Mexico, the main continent, it will basically be blocked by Baja California. Even if the port there is a natural port, it will always be natural, because it is useless in this day and age!

In other words, the north cannot develop, so there is naturally no pressure, but the south is different. After all, there is a big city like Guadalajara. Although it looks average now, it can be a big one. Anyway, DuPont does this for a full reason, and it is definitely not to flatter the emperor.

So, the troop transport mission from Baja California to the Mexican continent was quickly completed. You should know that although the ships were not enough, the sea and land distance between these two places was very short, and you could arrive soon from La Paz. It would be OK to transport a few more times, otherwise why would Li Mengyang arrange it like this before?

But since such a task has been completed, what should I do?

General DuPont naturally refused to give up, and he still wanted to continue shooting... Oh, it's the assistant to His Majesty the Emperor!

Just so happens that the Port of Vallarta is not only a harbor, but also a big river called the Lerma River. This is why Li Mengyang's special editor can attack Guadalajara so quickly, because these cities are on this river, otherwise they would be so unfamiliar with the land. And they are not suitable for the local environment. Is Li Mengyang a god?

DuPont just walked upstream along the river. When he arrived in Guadalajara, he saw that this was his place, so...

“all-hail-lee!”

This must be shouted, and if you don’t shout, how can you express your mood at this moment?

There is a large lake near Guadalajara called Chapara Lake, which is the largest lake in Mexico. The Lerma River just flows through here, which means that the journey is actually very smooth.

Then, naturally, I continued to go upstream. After crossing Lake Chapara, I arrived at the Santiago River. I walked along this river for a long distance and arrived at Queretaro!

You know, DuPont is the commander of the navy after all, and his flagship has a main combat ship, which is very fast. Anyway, it is much faster than the warships made by Emperor Li Mengyang.

Navigation technology in this era was actually very developed. Humans have reached the extreme of their use of sails, and now there is a help from steam engines. Therefore, taking the sea road is much faster than going on land. After all, roads are roads, roads, hard lands, trains, etc., so it depends on where the railway tracks are laid.

So, DuPont happened to catch up with this battle. When he saw that the Queretaro was having a lot of fun fighting, not long after, the French army was defeated. So what else did he have to do?

I bit it directly. The French warships were not very bad, and they were definitely the highest level in Mexico. The French army had really collected them in order to attack the town of Juma before. You said it would be okay to grab them. Anyway, they just brought all the good ships in western Mexico into their own hands.

But how can Mexico's highest level compete with the warships of the American Empire?

Even the warships in DuPont's hands are still old-fashioned and wooden, because that battleship is still in the process of research and development, and it is too late to build ironclad ships now. But even so, it would be too easy to kill the Mexican ship in seconds.

But you can't say that it was really not that easy at that time. There were mortars on the French ships!

Yes, they got this thing from their own boat. They were useless at the beginning, but that's all.

The imperial warships have torpedoes... The ironclad ships are too late to build, so don't care enough to make the torpedoes?

Is this a match, is it necessary to say?

Maximiliano and Almont are quite lucky, but they all feed the fish!

"Your Majesty, are you in good health? This Mexican food..."

DuPont is very good at speaking. After seeing Li Mengyang again, he did not mention his contribution. He first cared about His Majesty the Emperor's body. You know, everyone is a family. After he said this, he immediately became much closer.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your concern..." Li Mengyang, the emperor, can hear it, but what can he do?

I have to follow it. Is it wrong for people to care about your health? Besides, he is Elena's uncle, and they are all family.

Not only DuPont is here, but also Okashi and Wufeng are here. This battle is exciting, and the victory is very brilliant. How can you be unhappy?

Naturally, everyone was a little restrained in front of the emperor, but to be honest, Li Mengyang was in a very good mood.

"You are really the pillars of the country!"

Li Mengyang said this twice, using English and Chinese. It seemed a bit difficult, but there was no way. Such words are still difficult to understand as white people.

“all-hail-lee!”

The slogan is coming again, and everyone is refreshed.

But don't forget. We are now captives.

"Your Majesty! This is Maximilleno I. This is President Almont." General DuPont waved his hand. Naturally, two people were pressed up, and then DuPont introduced it.

Originally, not many people could speak French, but who is DuPont?

"DuPont! Your family is a traitor to France!" When Almont knew that the person in front of him was a member of the DuPont family, his mouth was not idle.

Very enthusiastic scolding!

"Hmph! Traitor?" What is DuPont's status at this time? He looked at Almont with great contempt. "France is a mess because of guys like you that you have made a mess! He keeps saying that he is making a revolution, but how about now? Who is that guy in the Palace of Duille?!"

"..." Almont was embarrassed and speechless. No way, France is now back to the monarchy, and Napoleon III became emperor again. In other words, France seemed to have been tossing for a while and finally went back!

Of course, this is not the case. France still made great progress after the Great Revolution, otherwise this country would not have swept the European continent twice. Although Napoleon III was much worse than his uncle's one this time, it was quite good. However, Almont now has no position to despise DuPont.

Everyone is a minister at the feet of the emperor. And Almont is still a prisoner at the ranks!

"I dare ask if you are His Majesty Clint Lee I?"

At this time, no matter the verbal battle between the two French people, Maximiliano I spoke. Of course, his target was Li Mengyang.

"It's me, you should be Maximiliano I?" Li Mengyang did not lose his etiquette, although the guy in front of him was just a prisoner.

"It's me..."

At this time, Maximiliano gave himself a title of honor, indicating that he is still the emperor now.

"Haha..." Li Mengyang laughed as soon as he heard this. The guy in front of him was so interesting.

To be honest, Li Mengyang is not particularly familiar with Maximiliano and the history of the Habsburg family. Of course, it is impossible that he doesn't know anything at all, but he doesn't know much, but he just came into contact with a little while reading history.

Maximiliano gave Li Mengyang the feeling that this person's brain circuit is different for ordinary people.

You, a member of the Habsburg family, come to Mexico all the time to be the emperor?

Yes, it is simply painful to consider it normally, but the evaluation of this emperor in history is very fair, that is, this person is not bad, and in the end he still sticks to his ideals.

It can be said that he is an idealist...

"His Majesty Clint Lee I, I think we should have a good talk. If you defeat me now, I can surrender to you, but I think the future development of Mexico still requires constitutional monarchy. I can establish such a system here, and I am the king..."

This guy said something eloquently, and the general idea was that he wanted to democratize Mexico, but he was still the Mexican emperor, but he was just obeying Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire!

It's very interesting, this is definitely an idealist.

"This is better, let our Emperor, rest, I'm afraid he will be tired." Li Mengyang said this as a joke, and the others could naturally hear it.

"Hahaha……"

"This man is such an idiot, and he still wants to be an emperor?"

"So ignorant! Only Clint Lee Isai is the only emperor!"

Liszt, who had always followed him, seized the opportunity at this time, and he had no chance to perform before.

"Comrades! Let us see the emperor's face clearly! This is the former Habsburg family, and he still wants to be the emperor now! I have seen this gentleman. He is the younger brother of Franz Joseph I now! But let's see how ugly his face is at this moment! In such a situation, he still never forgets the throne! Let's look at His Majesty Clint Lee, how kind and brave he is, and how humble he is. Even if our people give him a crown, His Majesty Clint Lee will share it with the people!"

To be honest, Maximiliano also wanted to have a constitutional monarchy, but Liszt misinterpreted it. You know, Liszt is a Hungarian...

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

This scene is hot again, Liszt is really good at playing.

But at this moment, Li Mengyang pressed his hands in vain, and it was obvious that he had something to say.

"..." Everyone calmed down. What did His Majesty the Emperor say?

Li Mengyang didn't care about Liszt's misinterpretation, they did it, but what Li Mengyang cared about was that the current Mexican territory, hehe...

"Comrades! The situation is very good now! We have wiped out the main force of the French army in Queretaro! So what should we do next? Is the empire's military front end here?"

"No!"

"no way!"

For a moment, the generals and guards were all excited... (To be continued...)
