Nineteenth-century Americans were inspired by Manifest Destiny to feel omnipotent, and even after the fiasco in Texas, some of them still didn't change their minds. It's just that with the rise of Mexico, America's westward road was forced to turn to the Pacific coast in the west. At this time, the number of immigrants from the United States in Oregon far exceeded that of the same period in history. The British colonists in the area could only hide in their fortresses and try to avoid conflicts with the former. As for the local Indians, they were not so lucky. They fully experienced the deportation and extermination package of the "plain and simple" Americans. These ambitious adventurers naturally understood the principle of "respect before soldiers". They first signed an agreement with the Indian tribes, promising not to invade each other, and then began to show their fangs when the number of immigrants was sufficient. They unite the big tribes, first deal with the small tribes, and then divide and disintegrate until they are all eliminated. This approach works every time, and the whole process works in one go, like a precision machine. This is the legendary "Manifest Destiny", specifically the following three points: Superiority: Americans' sense of racial and institutional superiority; that is, the belief that the Anglo-Saxon race in this land is "independent and inherently superior", "destined to Bring good government, prosperous commerce, and churches to the American continent and the world." On the other hand, it justifies the enslavement of blacks and the extermination of Indians. Mission: To reconstruct the world from an American point of view, in an American way. God's will: where the destiny belongs. Of course, if they just migrated to the reservation, then the fate of these Oregon natives may not be so tragic. They were ambushed on the Oregon Trail. It was none other than the "Continental Army Militia" of the US Army who did it. The reason is that the absurd Indians gathered together might rob the caravan, and then these so-called guards performed "justice". The Cayuse War, which was supposed to be in 1848, almost broke out ahead of schedule due to the influx of Americans into Oregon, which aggravated the conflict between the two sides. Naturally, the local Indians could not be the opponents of the former. In the early days of the war, the U.S. military was indeed in dire straits, but soon they encountered unexpected situations. The Indians on the opposite side suddenly had a lot of muskets in their hands, and started a guerrilla attack, specifically attacking single Americans and farmers in remote areas, which annoyed the US military officers and soldiers. Soon they figured out the source of the British equipment, but even Washington couldn't do anything about it. Because whenever my ambassador to London approached the British to protest, all the answers were, "The guns are made by us in the UK, but the smugglers are you Americans, just like you secretly invaded the Oregon area of ​​​​Canadian colonial territory, and were arrested. It’s like the dog came to the owner to protest after taking a bite.” [A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp] Naturally, such a stubborn reply would not come from Robert · Peale, because he is more inclined to solve the Oregon problem peacefully. But at this time, due to changes in history, Palmerston, who was supposed to step down and wander around the European continent, got a position in the Tory Party because of his flexible moral bottom line. At this time, the person responsible for solving the US-Canada issue is this person. Although he has many shortcomings, his talent as an excellent politician cannot be denied. The comparison of the numbers of Britain and the United States in the Oregon area made it impossible for the United Kingdom to directly use force to expel them. Moreover, it is close to the Pacific Ocean, so it is not realistic to transfer troops or deliver supplies from the mainland as soon as possible. The only people who can take advantage of it are the Indians in the area. Arming them cost little money, but it was very effective, especially in the enthusiasm for attacking American civilians, or so Palmerston himself thought. He felt that the natives of North America could be allowed to attack in all directions, disturbing the peace of the local American immigrants. In this way, the latter will face two choices, either leave or seek asylum. What British North America and Canada lack most is people, and of course they are very willing to accept this group of "refugees". However, Palmerston was wrong. He still underestimated the "barbarism" of Americans. Far from deterring American immigrants, the Cayuse War united them as never before. Yes, the result of the Cayuse War was that the latter established a large number of militia organizations in the Oregon area, which made Palmerston even more troublesome. The most fundamental reason is that Britain's own power in that land is too weak, but it is not in his nature to give up easily, otherwise he will live up to the "reputation" of the biggest **** stirrer in the 19th century. Palmerston quickly found a breakthrough, a group of people who were dissatisfied with the United States and wanted to create an immortal feat on the North American continent. Among them was a rancher named Cora Mombadi, who had a hundred and fifty cowboys under his command and shot down a federally appointed sheriff. But the locals regard him as a hero, because it is because of the existence of Mombadi that the white residents of the place are free from bureaucratic exploitation and savage harassment. Moreover, this person is very pretentious and wants to build a kingdom of his own. Naturally, Palmerston intends to add fuel to the fire, and immediately expressed his support for his cause. With the support of the British, Cora Mombadi's power developed rapidly, and soon organized an army with a total number of more than five hundred people. We all know that a country is not a country as long as it has an army. These five hundred off-workers need a certain number of producers to support them, otherwise starvation will only happen sooner or later. So Mombadi began to expand, UU reading www.uukanshu.com However, in this era and place of chaotic natural selection, the larger the territory, the more soldiers are needed to guard, and the more soldiers, the more soldiers have to rely on Large numbers of farmers feed them. This vicious cycle has turned Cora Mombadi into a rapacious behemoth encroaching on Oregon land, and the headache is thrown to John Taylor. This is a very dangerous multiple-choice question. a. Sending troops to destroy it will cost people and money, and may provide excuses for London and Canadian authorities to intervene. b. Winning over and splitting up, using his own way to deal with his own body to win over Mombadi or divide his internal forces, so as to achieve the goal of turning major events into minor ones. c. Palliative therapy, lie flat and let it develop. ... Unlike the intrigue in Oregon, Austrian California is a different story. After crossing the border and looking at the endless desert, what comes into view is the endless farmland. Today, California is not only self-sufficient, but even exports agricultural products to other regions. However, its main pillar industry is still the gold mining industry, where the mines are running day and night. A large amount of gold was sent to Mexico City and the Austrian Empire on the other side of the ocean. Of course, it was actually sent to the capital of the former, and a large part of it fell back into the pockets of the latter. The current Mexicans seem to be basically accustomed to being ruled by a development company thousands of miles away. After all, even their power center cannot do without the support of Austria. Not only Tasan Anna, but all the warlords in Mexico at this time, including those opinion leaders among the people, began to pay attention to building a good relationship with Austria, hoping to get its support. However, now Franz has encountered troubles, that is, there is too much gold dug up in California.
