Chapter 532

"Ah, Freya, you brought me bread again."

"In the cold cage, it was the only warmth God gave me, just like the temperature of your skin, lingering with a faint refreshing fragrance."

"The temperature is so fascinating to me!"

"I can't help falling in love with you, my Freya! Ah, devout Christians fall in love with the warden's daughter. Today's disaster may be God's punishment for my disobedience!"

"I shouldn't love you!"

"This love has no source and no reason. Your father raised you with Judas silver coins. Why can he raise a kind and beautiful girl like you!"

"Why can't I feel resentment in my heart?"

"Why am I black and blue, but I just want to praise God's benevolence, praise him for creating you with miracles and lighting up the end of my life?"

"That's... Love?!"

"No, you're just greedy for her body." Carmen sat in the VIP box of the theater, with the sweetest smile and the most realistic evaluation.

Fortunately, there were only two people who could hear manager Xavier's live evaluation of the play, Sharon and faraming.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Miami civic theater. As the investor of the theater, Carmen participated in the ribbon cutting on behalf of the asset management company of the general assembly and was invited to watch the civic theater carefully rehearse the two-month opening play, "God and iron windows and St. Valentine".

This is a big event for the whole of Miami.

On the West Bank of the river, the heroic garrison was risking their lives to resist the Indian attack, and the rumble of guns continued day and night like thunder.

The theater was able to open as scheduled at such a time. It was St. Valentine's day in 1786 that staged the love story of St. Valentine, which has extraordinary significance to all Christians. There is no doubt that the whole town has made efforts to this end.

It's like a tonic to the whole Miami. Those strong and sticky lines symbolize the incomparable victory confidence of Miami people!

Tickets for the opening play were sold out a week ago.

The warm-up actor's short play was performed twice at the University of Miami, three at the garden market, and one more at the river beach in the theater.

It is artificially endowed with special significance.

The families of soldiers are waiting for the lovers of war, the wives and children of workers bless the hard-working families, and the people far away from the battlefield are grateful to the warriors on the front line, wish for the final victory, and look forward to the day when colorful flowers float all over the sky.

But no matter how important the ceremony was to Miami, Carmen was still disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Today is her 26-year-old Valentine's day. On such a solemn day, she wants to watch her ancestors 1500 years ago sprinkle dog food in public with her subordinates

Really, really, really unhappy!

Carmen Xavier was furious. The smell of vinegar overshadowed the faint smell of gunsmoke in the air and swallowed her restraint and reason.

"Faramin."

"Yes, ma'am. I'm here, ma'am."

"Find the manager of the troupe, donate 800 pounds to the troupe in the name of the asset management company, and then donate 214 pounds in the names of myself and the president."

Faraming took out his book and wrote down: "do you need a gift?"

"Gift..." Carmen nodded his lips and thought for a moment. "I like the scene where the last lovers are separated forever. It symbolizes a spirit and guides Miami to dedicate everything to our town at this special time. I like it very much."

Faraming's pen paused: "er... Madam, the play has just played the third act. St. Valentine is still in the warden's prison, far from the execution ground..."

"He will always go to the execution ground." Carmen casually played with his viewing mirror. "By the way, was he beheaded? Hanged? Or maybe burned?"

"It's a pity that history doesn't record Valentine's death, and I heard that in order to boost the morale of the city, the screenwriter rewrites Valentine's ending. God sent angels to the execution ground, the warden was probation, the evil nobles were burned to death, and Valentine and Freya got married, probably so."

Click!

The grip of the opera mirror is broken

Carmen narrowed his eyes and smiled softly: "ah... Is it a happy ending? It's better to halve the donation."

"Ha?"

"The asset management company donated 400 pounds, and the president and I donated 100 pounds each. Do you give advice..." Carmen threw away the drama viewing mirror and held up a teacup to cover his mouth and nose. "Let their screenwriters read Shakespeare well and make persistent efforts."

"Uh... Yes."

……

Miami siege.

This war must have never happened in the history of Lorraine's previous life.

Because in that history, Richard Fitzpatrick, the founder of Miami, did not buy the land of the Miami estuary from Seminole until 1830.

Before that, white people had always been insignificant passers-by in this area. Indians, or Seminole, an Indian from South Florida, were well deserved historical stars here.

The Seminoles thrived on this land and lived in peace with the Spaniards living in pioneering towns until the Americans reached out their tentacles.

In 1818, during the first Seminole war, the American Expeditionary Force drove the Seminoles to South Florida, but the tenacious aborigines also paid a huge price for the United States.

In 1835, during the second Seminole war, the white people provoked contradictions among the Seminoles. The seven-year long civil war almost cut off the blood of the Indian nation.

In 1855, in the third Seminole war, the declining Seminoles were no longer the opponents of whites. They were slaughtered and hunted wantonly, leaving only sporadic blood to escape into dazawa in Central South Florida and survive, completely losing their status and identity as the star of the stage in Florida.

Lorraine knew nothing about this remote history.

But the funny thing is that the two sections of history finally flow into a similar river bed. The Miami siege directed by him has actually moved towards a development path similar to the bloody second Seminole war, that is, white people become supporting actors, and the civil war is the fundamental.

On January 26, the native tribe of Florida, the achaca tribe of Seminole, launched an attack on the defense line of Miami regiment, and the siege of Miami began.

In the following days, the Indian aborigines led by the achaca tribe and the Miami garrison of Spain fought fiercely on this narrow battlefield less than one kilometer wide.

The Spanish had the advantage of firepower and fortification, while the Indians were overwhelmingly advantageous in number.

The scale of the war gradually expanded. After continuous setbacks, the number of indigenous coalition troops increased from the initial 10000 to more than 30000. The Miami line corps, which was temporarily strengthened in firepower, was also transferred from the rear to the front line, doubling the number of Spanish troops.

However, despite the war on the front line, Miami town under the crisis has always maintained a considerable degree of order.

Prices did not rise, the supply of goods was sufficient, the port area remained in operation, and less than half of the construction sites that could be seen everywhere were forced to shut down.

It's unbelievable.

As we all know, the rapid development of Miami town is based on sufficient labor.

The indigenous Indian tribes on the peninsula are the core suppliers of labor on the construction site. Just before the siege, the number of indigenous people employed in Miami just reached an all-time peak, with 47000 registered on the employment roster of Drake chamber of Commerce alone.

After the three departments showed hostility, Drake chamber of Commerce set up isolation around the Indian shed on the grounds of urban safety, and sent out 15000 employee gifts from three participating tribes out of Miami according to the list.

After the war officially began, more than 4000 people chose to terminate their labor contracts out of their own will.

But more people chose to stay and continue their work step by step in the rumble of guns and the vigilance and preparedness of whites.

This means that even during the Indian siege of Miami Town, nearly 30000 Indians still receive Miami salaries, eat Miami rations and build Miami towns.

Are they enemies or friends?

If they attack violently, can the thin hard isolation and the security guards guarding the isolation really play the role of a cage?

People are suspicious.

Suspicion of Indians grew with the war and finally reached its peak on February 22.

On February 22, yixinqi, the minority leader of achaka tribe, led 800 carefully selected warriors of the three tribes to bypass the river beach defense line at night and enter from the sparsely populated Tianyuan District. He created a massacre of the pioneers in the valley village near the battlefield. In the early morning of the next day, he attacked and surrounded the campaign headquarters of dipyani mayor behind the third defense line.

The Spaniards were caught off guard. The first line of defense was declared lost in panic. The garrison of the brigade was cut into three sections and supported hard by the second, third and headquarters lines.

The panic of the front line soon spread to the towns, and the citizens flocked to Biscay bay with their families. Because of the lack of cross sea ferries, it quickly turned into a containment of Indian sheds.

Drake's hard isolation and security team set up in advance prevented the situation from deteriorating uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the containment did not develop into a conflict. After a standoff of seven hours, the leaders of the 100 business association led by Lorraine and several well-dressed Indian old people jointly delivered a public speech at the Miami Town Council.

"Equality and freedom are Florida's unique charm," Lorraine said

"At Fort Moses, Spain, Indians and African American pioneers from the ocean fought side by side under the guidance of freedom, regardless of you and me."

"In Miami, the British joined in, and the French, Dutch, Portuguese, Norway, Finland, Russia, Egypt, as well as distant Arabs and more distant Qing people joined in successively."

"Human beings have real unity on both sides of the beautiful bay of Biscay for the first time. For a better common life, race, blood, skin color and history are no longer the reasons for estrangement."

"This is our paradise! It is a beacon of freedom and democracy! It is a new place that all mankind should yearn for!"

"But someone blasphemed her for his own selfish desires."

"Achaka department, mayinchi department and quellich department were our good friends and neighbors. Not long ago, their young people were sweating with us on the land of Miami. The parliament hall behind us is the joint masterpiece of the construction team of achaka department and the design team of Drake chamber of Commerce."

"But they became prisoners of greed."

"72 dead bones in valley village are accusing them of their crimes, and 227 martyrs in the beach defense line are spitting on their evil!"

"They turned themselves into the enemy of Miami and a threat to the civilization and freedom of all mankind!"

"We shoulder a heavy responsibility!"

"Fight! Miami's enemies want Miami to defeat themselves. The flame of hatred can only be quenched with hot blood."

"We must let these greedy villains who succumb to desire know their mistakes, let the gods in heaven see our determination, and let the world hear the cry of Miami."

"We are qualified to shout! Because equality is the unique charm of Florida, and Miami is the only paradise for freedom. In order to protect these beauties, we are willing to fight!"

In front of the echo wall in the Parliament Square, Lorraine took a big step forward.

"Drake will fight for Miami!"

Behind him, Tim Gillen, President of the Gillen chamber of Commerce, stood up.

"Gillen will fight for Miami!"

"Smith chamber of commerce does not hesitate to fight!"

"Semley chamber of commerce does not hesitate to fight!"

……

After a while, all the big businessmen finished their positions. When the shocked citizens thought that the chaebols in Miami were finally going to fight back, the Indian elders also stood up and spoke firmly in old and slightly astringent Spanish.

"Yama West does not hesitate to fight!"

"Youqi department doesn't hesitate to fight!"

"Crick department does not hesitate to fight!"

……

Strange accents and specious words echoed and mixed on the echo wall of Parliament Square. They spread like thunder to every citizen's ears and shocked the whole Miami sky.

That thunder has only one sonorous and powerful syllable

“GUERRAAAAAA！”

War!
