The complete victory in the battle of Vicksburg is like a key, opening a treasure trove, which contains an extremely vast land territory, and I am afraid that a few more stars will be added to the banner of the empire.

And at the same time as the victory in Vicksburg, there is now a big event in Colorado, that is, the railroad of the New Tang Empire in the United States has been repaired!

"Comrades! Our railways are on the same train! This means that we can get in touch with the California province of the Empire, which is everyone's home! ”

At the ceremony in the same car, Meng Fanyong, as the commander of the Northern Route Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which is now the interim governor of Colorado, delivered an enthusiastic speech.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The soldiers of the empire didn't say that, the slogan shouted loudly, and those who shouted followed, then there are a lot of Colorado locals now!

Who are the locals?

There were a large number of Indians, and there were also quite a few gold prospectors.

Needless to say, the Indians, with Geronimo, the leader of the Indians who followed the Northern Route Army, those who can unite have united, and those who are not united, you will fend for yourself, and we will not care for the time being.

But the gold diggers are different, you know, these people were relatively repulsive to this American empire or something in the beginning!

So how did they get here?

It should be that these gold diggers are only a part, that is, the more vulnerable gold diggers.

Their strength is not strong, and they are the kind of people who have little gain among the gold diggers, and there are even us Chinese workers. Because the Chinese trade union pans for gold. There's technology. It was a great time to go on the gold rush in California. And many of these Chinese workers were loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Don't think that the Chinese workers hate the Manchus, a large part of them are very loyal, otherwise the braids can always be kept?

To tell the truth, Li Mengyang can have today, he has really achieved great success in cultivating Chinese workers, and his various means. For example, it's really good to highlight that you are the emperor of the Han people or something.

But of course, there will be fish that slip through the net.

However, why didn't these people reject the New Tang Empire? How did they become obedient?

The reason is very simple, I can't live my life!

The arrival of the army of the New Tang Empire is simply a thunderous power for Colorado!

It's really like this, Colorado has not been established as a state until now, and we all know that if there is no state, the number of people represented is less than 60,000. The 60,000 refers to the citizens of the United States, but there are more than 60,000 in this place. What about the Indians!

So, with the iron fist of the Empire on the one hand, and the threat of the Indians on the other, what about these weak gold diggers?

There is no other way, and those die-hards, to be honest, are not having a good time now, but they are still persistent, and many of them simply run away.

The problem of this place in Colorado is basically like this, there are many mountains, rivers and gold mines, and it is impossible to completely engage in peace and stability immediately, but a particularly important thing is that this railroad will play an extremely important role in completely controlling Colorado in the future!

In fact, the railway is a means of control in this era, just like the Sui Yang Emperor repaired the Universiade...... Well, this matter is in this era, that is, Li Mengyang himself has this historical viewpoint, and no one else has it.

Then to control this state, you need to take your time, anyway, there is a railway, but how did this railway come about? Because California doesn't seem to have a direct border with Colorado, does it?

That's right, it's really not a direct border, from California to Colorado, just now you have to go through one place, and that's Utah!

This year, you need to go through a Utah, because there is no Nevada state, only a place that can be called a quasi-state of Utah.

It's a bit strange to say this, why is it called 'can be called'? Isn't Utah just Utah?

In fact, there is no way, so I have to say this, because the current Utah should not be called a quasi-state, because this place is very strange!

How strange is it?

The current Utah, in fact, has more than 80,000 people, according to the relevant laws of the United States of America, this can be a state, enough for 60,000, but you see, there is still no state, and the original state is still maintained.

Why is that?

Just because of Mormonism!

Now this part of Utah, such a big land, this place includes the Great Basin and the Utah Plateau, to be honest, this geographical situation is not very good, not very suitable for human survival.

But the Mormons, they chose this place, and they settled here!

So, after combining these conditions, I'm afraid anyone can see what's going on with Mormonism now, right?

Yes, at this time, the Mormons were simply an independent kingdom, and they didn't pay attention to Washington's affairs at all, because of this, they didn't build a state when they had so many people, and this place is still very interesting, there are few Indians, because of the natural conditions, it is very difficult for Indians to survive here, and most of the Indians that Li Mengyang saw like to be bare-chested.

You come to the Utah Plateau and try it bare-chested...... That's why, anyway.

Such a strange Mormon religion, such a strange place, what if the imperial railroad has to pass through this place now?

It's actually not difficult, because as long as you understand why it's weird, it's easy, why?

Mormonism, a religious problem!

It just so happens that Li Mengyang promotes freedom of religious belief, and he has a casual state about this matter, but there is one thing, you can't force others to believe in your religion.

Hey, that's interesting!

Freedom of religion in our empire......

Better than the United States......

Isn't the reason why you Mormons have come to such a place where birds don't shit because the kings and calves of the United States are persecuting you?

BALABALA…… Anyway, you have a lot to talk about.

And the most important thing is that Mormonism really wants to create an independent kingdom of its own. As long as they don't disturb themselves to live their own small lives. It's the kind of life that has very strict religious rules. That's it.

So, isn't it just to build a railroad, anyway, this Utah place is very big, not to mention 80,000 people, 800,000, 8 million can also be installed, everyone is safe, and our empire can also provide some money.

So can everyone really be safe?

Anyway. This railway was built first, and then ......

The money provided by the empire is the American dollar, it is the currency of the empire, so no matter how strict your Mormon rules and precepts are, you still have to live, right? Everyone is going to do business, just in the currency of our empire.

It was all good, but there was a series of changes in it.

First of all, there is a premise for doing business, everyone's information must be exchanged first, otherwise how to do business?

Secondly. There's a lot of stuff in this information, because business involves all aspects. Mormon lives are about to change, too.

This change is all slow, but!

Mormonism itself has a lot of problems.

Why is the United States, a country that is very tolerant of religion, so repulsive to Mormonism?

You know, the United States itself is a country dominated by a group of Catholic opinionators, and Protestants want to reform the original religion, but even so, there are many Catholics in the United States...... Irish.

But that's not bad, it's been good in this year, but Mormons are still being driven to a place like Utah where birds don't, what does that mean?

Li Mengyang actually understood it a long time ago, because in this day and age, Mormonism is a cult!

This is actually not Li Mengyang's opinion, as far as Catholicism and Protestantism are concerned, anyway, as long as it is a religion, then they all see it this way.

The simplest thing is that the previous founder was named Joseph. Smith's, he has dozens of wives!

The current Pope, Bregham. Yang, he has hundreds of wives!

Isn't this a cult yet?

The most important thing is to know that this is the American West!

The American West is right now, where is there no shortage of women except the Empire?

In the western part of the United States, from the time of Li Mengyang's arrival to the present, the population ratio has always been unbalanced, and the empire is simply heaven in this regard.

To put it mildly, can a pope be a normal religion when he occupies so many 'resources', or is it scarce resources?

Obviously, as soon as Li Mengyang summed it up, he understood that the reason why it was like this, and the reason why it was able to occupy it like this and not be resisted by the disciples, was only one reason.

Brainwash!

The upper echelons of Mormonism must have carried out very powerful brainwashing of their own followers, definitely!

As far as Li Mengyang, an atheist who doesn't understand Mormonism at all, in fact, he can easily analyze how this brain is washed, and the simplest thing is to believe in this religion and then what can you get.

O woman, more than one woman, more than one woman!

Yes, you see, if you believe in this religion, you will also have a chance in the future, and you can also be like the Pope, and you can sleep together, maybe hundreds or even thousands, how about it? Join us......

It's similar to a pyramid scheme......

How can this brainwashing be dealt with?

If you don't do business, you have to communicate with each other and pass on some information to each other.

Brainwashing, in fact, if you want to succeed, there is a condition, that is, to create a closed environment, just like those pyramid schemes in later generations that Li Mengyang knew, not all of them were a group of people in one room, everyone ate and drank together, and did not contact with external people and things.

Now Utah has this condition, so Mormonism can establish itself here, and it likes to establish itself here, and now, the information is coming, what will happen?

Naturally, there is more powerful brainwashing above, but the information we spread has a purpose...... Besides, religious freedom in our empire cannot force others to follow your religion.

The construction of this railway was before the assassination of Li Mengyang, and the person in charge of this railway was Lilan. Stanford, so, a lot of time has passed, and this guy Stanford is a businessman, how can he be soft on the brainwashed guy in the face of interests? Naturally, they want to encourage these guys to make trouble.

"You don't have a wife now, do you?"

"When will you become Pope?"

"When you become Pope, will your thing still stand?"

"A thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird and then ......"

So, three months ago, there was a major riot in the Utah territory. Yang was killed by the congregation and freed hundreds of 'wives'......

To put it simply, it's for women!

But the guys who use these cultists are naturally snickering, and they have to use weapons in the riots, right? And we can also put things in order for our own safety......

Later, Utah announced its request to be incorporated into the territory of the American Empire, and the imperial empress Huang Rong agreed, and the secretary general, Lin Xiaoyi, drafted the document, and then the empress stamped it with the other two imperial concubines to represent the emperor's opinion.

In fact, all this was arranged by Li Mengyang before, and it was ready when the railway was built.

However, if you take a second look at the map at this time, Huo!

The territory of the New Tang Dynasty Empire in the United States has suddenly become very large...... (To be continued......)
