The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

Tasan Anna was very angry at the behavior of his subordinates who killed the enemy commander privately, because it affected his honor.

Tasan Anna felt that this man should be hanged in the square as an example to others, but after he learned what happened, he only fined Jimmy a hundred pesos.

There are more important things to do than these Tasan Anna. In the previous siege battle, the Mexican army suffered as many as 4,000 casualties, of which 2,300 were killed, and another 700 were unable to continue fighting due to injuries.

The generals of Tasan Anna demanded to take advantage of the victory, take advantage of the undefended northern plains, quickly expand the results of the war, and strive to create an established fact before the United States enters the war. As long as the entire territory of Texas is occupied, the Americans will never send troops again reason.

Gablenz and Stadion felt that the northern plains were not in danger, and the Mexican army suffered too much losses in previous battles, so they should consolidate their defenses and wait for reinforcements.

On July 2, 1836, Tasan Anna swore to the Northern Expedition.

On July 15, 1836, Mexican troops approached Fort Dallas.

On July 24, 1836, the Siege of Fort Dallas began.

On July 25, 1836, the United States claimed that a Mexican artillery shell landed in the United States, causing the disappearance of an American soldier. It requested to send troops into Mexico to protect the nationals, but the Mexican army refused.

On July 26, 1836, the United States declared war on Mexico.

August 30, 1836, Washington.

Andrew Jackson looked at the financial statement in his hand, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Gentlemen, please remember this great day. We will solve two problems that have always plagued the United States, Mr. Biddle, President of the Second Bank of the United States of America, and Tasan Anna, President of Mexico."

In 1836, the fiscal revenue of the United States was expected to reach 61 million US dollars, while in 1833 it was only 21 million US dollars.

All of this is of course due to the land boom and the wave of railway construction. However, the Second Bank of the United States of America has always been a time bomb for the United States. Only by eliminating this money-printing monster can Andrew Jackson feel at ease.

The United States decided to expand its army by 140,000 to deal with the immediate US-Mexico war.

For Mexico, which has a total military strength of only 34,000, the US military expansion of 140,000 is indeed a bit like anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.

But the Americans had been warned many times by the British, and they had received a credible message that the French were going to buy Texas from the Mexicans.

If it is facing the joint attack of Mexico and France, then the 28,000 people in the United States are not enough.

In order to ensure the victory of the war, Andrew Jackson used the gold dollar offensive to bribe the forces opposing Tasan Anna in Mexico.

Andrew Jackson aimed at General Jose Epra, who was a speculator. Tasan Anna promised him a lot of benefits during the coup, but did not fulfill them after Tasan Anna came to power. , Instead, he was sent to the southern border for retirement.

After that, Tasan Anna exiled many people who opposed him to southern Mexico.

These people were already at odds with Tasan Anna, and they were naturally eager to try after receiving the support of the United States.

On September 10, 1836, the French ambassador proposed to buy Texas from Mexico for 50 million francs, but Mexico rejected it.

On September 25, 1836, a fierce battle broke out between the United States and Mexico in the northern plains of Austin. The Mexican army suffered nearly a thousand casualties and had to retreat.

On October 2, 1836, the third Austin offensive and defensive battle started.

On October 20, 1836, the American troops withdrew.

On October 25, 1836, Mexican general Jose Epra declared Tasan Anna a traitor and appointed himself the interim president of Mexico. The Mexican Civil War broke out.

On October 26, 1836, Mexico announced the sale of Texas to France for 100 million francs.

On October 30, 1836, France entered the Gulf of Mexico and took over Harrisburg (later the Port of Houston, the second largest port in Mexico at this time).

On November 1, 1836, Britain announced that the British Royal Navy would **** the French army. (Because a lot of plots are omitted, I will explain it later. In fact, there are foreshadowings in front.)

On November 15, 1836, France issued an ultimatum to the United States, demanding that the United States withdraw from the entire territory of Texas.

On November 20, 1836, the U.S. Army invaded Austin, and the fourth offensive and defensive battle of Austin began.

On November 22, 1836, the French army wiped out the four main regiments of the US army and captured more than 3,000 people.

On November 25, 1836, President Andrew Jackson signed an executive order, fully mobilizing.

On December 1, 1836, the U.S. government withdrew $10 million from the Second Bank of the United States of America in response to the war with France.

On that day, Baron Brook was going to withdraw his last proceeds of $2 million from the bank.

As a result, the two payments that occurred on the same day directly caused the second bank of the United States of America to be incapable of turning over and unable to make payments, and the failure on the battlefield~www.wuxiahere.com~ directly detonated the panic among the American people.

The tide of the run began, the banks went bankrupt one after another, and the coins, gold, and silver were robbed. What followed was a sharp drop in land prices. Within a week, land prices in New York dropped by 20%, and in Chicago by 50%.

At the same time, European and American agriculture had another bumper harvest, causing crop prices to plummet. The price of US cotton exports fell by 30%, and the price of wheat fell by 50%.

Andrew Jackson had to issue a presidential decree, announcing the cessation of military expansion, and signed a peace treaty with France, recognizing French rule in Texas.

The Monroe Declaration was trampled underfoot by the Americans themselves like a piece of waste paper.

While the U.S. dollar plummeted, it also detonated the price of the pound. This was naturally due to the frequent trade between Britain and the United States.

The economic crisis is like a plague, from the United States to the United Kingdom, and then from the United Kingdom to the whole world.

On the contrary, the Austrian Empire escaped the catastrophe because it had less trade with Britain and the United States, and it used bond currency for a long time.

Vienna, trading center.

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, foreign powers sold off Austrian railway stocks one after another, causing the price of railway stocks to plummet.

After that, Baron Brook used the money he brought back from the United States to wipe out the stocks of the railway company on the market.

December 25, 1836, Christmas.

Austrian railways are all owned by the royal family.

(So ​​far, in a sense, the Austrian railway has completed the state-owned reform. Of course, thanks to the financial support of the old American railway.)

The Christmas girl costume designed by Franz was confinement by Mrs. Sophie because it violated the teachings. She could only lie on the window and look at the snow and the moon.
