How did the fortress of Havana come on fire from the inside?

This matter has to start from a month ago......

Xie Zhong was originally a small landowner, and he had a good life in China, with a house and land, and both children and daughters, but he didn't expect that since 1840, this day has not been as good as a day, and in the end, he forced his family to run out and came to San Francisco, America.

When they arrived in San Francisco, they didn't expect to encounter white people robbing them, and the government of San Francisco didn't care, but their family was very lucky, and a wife named Huang Rong took them in.

At that time, the Huang family was running out, mainly to pack up their business and move to a place called Panama, so Xie Zhong didn't follow him?

So, Xie Zhong followed Mrs. Huang Rong to Panama, and later worked under Mrs. Huangrong.

said that it was a wife, but in fact, Xie Zhong could see that it was obviously a yellow flower girl, and she was still very beautiful. However, Xie Zhong is so old, so naturally he doesn't have that evil heart, but he is very curious, why does such an outstanding girl have to be widowed?

Later, when he went to New York, Xie Zhong understood that the relationship was really an uncle, until he met that uncle later, and he followed his wife out of New York to Havana, and Xie Zhong's mission came.

"Uncle Xie, you take someone here to wait for Brother Mengyang, if he has any difficulties, you must help him."

This was personally instructed by the wife when she left Havana.

Xie Zhong understands very well that he is probably an internal response. If it doesn't go well on my uncle's side, then I should do something......

If you want to say that the Huang family's business is really not small, the red tomato sauce is sold to the sea. This thing needs tomatoes and sugar, and Havana happens to be an important export place for cane sugar and tomatoes, so the Huang family has a semicolon here, which is to buy and sell these things.

Naturally, there are mainly Chinese in the semicolon, but it can't be all Chinese, because the place speaks Spanish. The Chinese were originally in San Francisco and didn't know much about Spanish. Of course, they are not incomprehensible at all, and there are some Spaniards in San Francisco.

But you have to hire locals, so. Xie Zhong had an extra heart.

"Do you have any of those individuals here who want to fight against the government yamen?"

When he was in New York, Xie Zhong had seen any revolution, and that uncle was engaged in this thing, wasn't the revolution just dealing with the government yamen? Do you have such people here in Havana?

Don't say it, there really is, and the guy in this semicolon knows him, because that person is not famous.

The man's name was Carlos. Manuel. Morality. Cespedes!

Carlos. Céspedes was born in Bayamo, in southern Cuba, into an aristocratic family in 1819. He has had a golden spoon since he was a child, but he hated the Spanish colonization very much.

Put simply, he wants Cuba to be as independent as the United States. If you are independent, then you will be free, look at the small life of the United States now, how good!

Therefore, as an aristocracy, Cespedes began the Cuban independence movement when he grew up, but it is a pity. Failed before, but because his status is not low. Instead of being killed, he was exiled to France, from which this Cespedes later returned.

This time Cespedes was smarter, he didn't make big moves on the surface, but began to promote his revolutionary ideas to the middle and lower classes......

See, this is similar to what my uncle did, so Xie Zhong immediately understood that this Cespedes was the person he was looking for!

But you must know that Céspedes is a white man, and he is also wary of a Chinese coming to him, so Xie Zhong has indeed experienced a lot of hardships in this process, but fortunately, his perseverance conquered Cespedes, commonly known as stalking.

So what is the purpose of the Chinese and the local independence faction in Cuba?

Soon, the fleet of the New York Revolutionary Army came to Havana, and they wanted to enter the port to resupply, but the Spaniards just wouldn't let it, and if they didn't let it, then it would be better to fight, and see whose fist was hard!

As a result, the Spanish warship did not last long before it was sunk, but the city defense of Havana was very strong.

The two sides have bombarded each other in the Gulf of Havana, and there can be hundreds of cannons, and no one can help anyone!

Xie Zhong saw this battle, he saw that the warships of the revolutionary army were strange, the entire hull was mostly below the waterline, he had never seen such a ship.

The warships discharged by the Revolutionary Army at that time were naturally the USS Erickson and Clint. Lee, these two are the strongest warships, but the result is that the batteries on the Havana fortress can't hit these two battleships, and the guns on these two battleships can't penetrate the stone walls of the fortress!

So what can I do?

Xie Zhong knew that his mission was coming, so he immediately set up a cargo ship with a merchant name and went to sea to meet his uncle on the high seas...... Not long afterward, Xie Zhong returned to sail back, only this time he smuggled something.

What is it?

Guns!

Hundreds of revolvers, more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and especially something that looked like a cannon, but when it was smuggled in, this thing was separated, with six pipes on one side and a wheel rack on the other.

People can't be sent in, most of the people in the revolutionary army are Irish, these guys have a very special accent, they can't hide it, but the weapons are good, this thing is considered a cargo, the Chinese business often buys goods here, and they are more familiar with the customs of Havana, and for this, Xie Zhong stuffed a lot of Spanish silver dollars from the Spaniards in the port of Havana.

Don't look at these guns, but they are the most advanced things now, especially the Gatling gun, which is better than cannons, when these weapons come to Cespedes' hands......

The Cuban Revolution has begun again!

The reason why there is this word 'again' is because there was a New York Revolution not long ago!

The fortress was the easiest to breach from within, and when the Cespedes got their hands on these advanced weapons. They immediately took advantage of it, they were locals, and Céspedes was still an aristocrat. Therefore, with one move, he immediately occupied the highest and largest fortress in Havana, that is, the Moreau Castle where Li Mengyang waved everyone forward.

The details go without saying, and under the internal and external attacks, Havana looks like it is about to fall!

"Oh God! Praise him! ”

“all-hail-lee！”

“all-hail-lee！”

When the revolutionary army set foot on the land of Havana. They just shouted these praises to Clint. Lee's sentence charged.

"You, are you a demon or an angel?" See a picture like this. Hearing these cries of mountains and tsunamis, Yelena, who hated dictators the most, was a little shaken.

"Me?" Li Mengyang was amused, "I'm just a person, that's all." ”

It should be said. Modesty is a virtue, but in the West, this virtue is not the same, anyway, it is not the same as in the East.

“no！” Big man Bill immediately stepped forward and spoke, "Mr. Clint! You are God's messenger to the earth! You are here to lead the revolutionary ranks to victory! ”

“your-majesty！ Please don't hold you to the standards of the world! Then Liszt will come again at once.

"Lee! You are the king! God give us! ”

"Li, you lead everyone forward!"

It seems that this is going to stage another drama with a yellow robe, Li Mengyang hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Comrades!" He pulled out his saber, "Our goal now!" Take Havana! Rush with me! ”

He didn't say a word about being the emperor. And right now it's still a war, so let's just ......

"Ulla!"

“all-hail-lee！”

"Long live the Revolution!"

The morale of the revolutionary army was high, and they were all vying for the lead. On March 1, 1862, Havana was thus taken!

The Spanish governor was hung on the wall of the tallest fortress, and the remnants of Havana were cleared, and with natives like Cespedes, the whole city was quickly restored to normal, as if nothing had happened. However, the Cuban people know it. It's changed.

"Dear Clint. Mr. Lee! I really can't repay your help, so God testify that I am not a man who does not want to repay your kindness! ”

"Mr. Cespedes, for the independence movement of the Cuban people, our revolutionary army should have given great support, and I only hate that we came late and made the Cuban people suffer......"

After the battle, in the town hall of Havana, Clint . He met with Mr. Cespedes, and the leaders had a rather frank exchange, and the two sides became close friends. Mr. Lee said that he would never interfere in Cuba's internal affairs......

This period of history will be recorded in the history books and praised by the Cuban people, but these individuals at the time listened to Clint . The people taught by Li had a somewhat different reaction.

Elena felt that her teeth were sore, what do you mean by 'making the Cuban people suffer'? You're 'too late'! Do you want to be so fake?

Anyway, Elena just thinks this kind of rhetoric is disgusting, but others don't think so.

"Oh! Great Clint. Plum! How noble your personality is! Liszt searched his head for all the words of praise.

"Noble has been unable to describe Clint. Lee! People all over the world should respect you for such a good deed that helps the people of a country achieve freedom and democracy without expecting anything in return! ”

It wasn't the big man Bill or Liszt who said this, it was Samuel. DuPont, the former Admiral of the Confederacy!

"Uncle!" When she heard such an evaluation, Yelena was stunned, what happened to her uncle?

"Elena! Please see Clint clearly. Plum! Evaluate his good deeds correctly! "Samuel. DuPont said this time very solemnly!

"......" Yelena really doesn't understand, why? Why is a dictator praised by so many people?

Actually, Samuel. DuPont said this, the reason is very simple, you know, their DuPont family made great contributions when they helped the Americans fight the Revolutionary War, and now Li Mengyang has done a qiē, how similar this is!

“all-hail-lee！”

“all-hail-lee！”

The call for this is getting louder and louder...... (To be continued)
