Why did the fortress in Havana be lit from inside?

This matter has to start a month ago...

Xie Zhong was originally a small landlord. He lived a good life in China, with a house and a land, and had both children, but unexpectedly, since 1840, his life has been getting worse day by day. In the end, he had no choice but to force their family to run out and come to San Francisco, Amerika.

When we arrived in San Francisco, we unexpectedly encountered white people robbing them, and the government in San Francisco didn't care, but their family was very lucky. A wife named Huang Rong took them in.

At that time, the Huang family was running out, mainly to clean up their business and move to a place called Panama. Then Xie Zhong saw that he was not following him?

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

He said he was a wife, but in fact, Xie Zhong could see that he was obviously a yellow girl and was very beautiful. However, Xie Zhong was so old that he naturally didn't have that evil intention. He was just curious why such an outstanding girl had to be a widow?

Later, when he went to New York, Xie Zhong understood that there was really a son-in-law coming. Until he met the son-in-law, he followed his wife to New York and Havana, and Xie Zhong's mission came.

"Uncle Xie, please take someone here to wait for Brother Meng Yang. If he has any difficulties, you must help him."

This was what the wife personally told Xie Zhong when she left Havana.

Xie Zhong understood very well that he might be an insider. If the son-in-law doesn't have a smooth flow, he should do things...

The Huang family's business is really big. The red tomato sauce sold in the sea. This thing requires tomatoes and sugar, and Havana is an important export place for sugar and tomatoes. Therefore, the Huang family has a semicolon here, which is to buy and sell these things.

The semicolon is naturally mainly Chinese, but it is impossible that they are all Chinese, because this place speaks Spanish. The Chinese used to be in San Francisco and do not know much about Spanish. Of course, they don’t understand at all. There are also some Spanish people in San Francisco.

But in this way, locals have to be hired, so Xie Zhong became more cautious.

"Do you have any people here who want to fight against the government office?"

When she was in New York, Xie Zhong had seen some revolution. The son-in-law was doing this. Isn’t revolution just a deal with the government office? So are there such people in Havana?

You really don't know, really, and there are people who know the guy in this semicolon because that person is quite famous.

That person is Carlos Manuel de Cespedes!

Carlos Sespedes was born in Bayamo, southern Cuba. He was born in an aristocratic family in 1819. He had a golden spoon in his childhood, but he hated the Spanish colonial rule very much.

Simply put, he hopes that Cuba will be like the United States. Then he will be free. Look at how good the United States is now!

Therefore, when Cespides, a nobleman, began the Cuban movement after he grew up, but unfortunately, he failed before, but because of his status, he was not killed, but exiled to France. Later, Cespides returned from France.

This time, Sespides became smart. He did not make any big moves on the surface, but began to promote his revolutionary ideas to the middle and lower levels...

I saw it, it was similar to what my son-in-law did, so Xie Zhong immediately understood that this Cespedes was the person he was looking for!

But you have to know that Cespedes was a white man, and he was wary of a Chinese looking for him. Therefore, Xie Zhong did go through a lot of hardships in this process, but fortunately, his perseverance conquered Cespedes, commonly known as lingering and beating.

So what are you going to do when the Chinese and local Cuban factions are combined?

Soon, the fleet of the New York Revolutionary Army arrived in Havana. They wanted to enter the port to replenish supplies, but the Spaniards just refused. If they didn't let it go, they would fight. It depends on who has the hard fist!

As a result, the Spanish warship was sunk shortly after lasting, but the city defense in Havana was very powerful.

If both sides bombarded each other in Havana Bay, they could have hundreds of cannons, and no one could do anything to each other!

When Xie Zhong saw this battle, he saw that the Revolutionary Army's warship was strange. Most of the entire hull was below the waterline. He had never seen such a ship before.

The warships ships launched by the Revolutionary Army at that time were naturally the Eriksen and Clint Lee. These two were the strongest warships. However, the result was that the turrets on the Havana Fort could not hit the two warships, and the artillery on these two warships could not hit the stone walls of the fort!

So what should I do?

Xie Zhong knew that his mission had come, so he immediately took the cargo ship of the merchant to go out to sea and met his son-in-law on the high seas... Not long after that, Xie Zhong returned, but this time he smuggled something.

What is it?

A gun!

There were hundreds of revolvers with more than 10,000 bullets, especially one that looked like a cannon. When it was smuggled in, the thing was separated, with six tubes on one side and wheel racks on the other.

People cannot be sent in, and most of the revolutionary army are Irish. These guys have very special accents and can't hide them, but weapons are all right. This thing is considered goods. Chinese merchants often purchase goods and are familiar with Havana customs. And for this, Xie Zhong stuffed a lot of Spanish silver dollars from the Spanish port of Havana.

Although these guns are not many, they are the most advanced things now, especially the Gatling machine gun, which is better than cannons. When these weapons came to Cespedes's hands...

The Cuban Revolution has begun again!

The reason for this word "Yu" is because there was a New York Revolution not long ago!

The fortress is the easiest to break from the inside. When Cespides and the others got these advanced weapons, they immediately took advantage of their advantages. They were locals, and Cespides was still a noble. So, in one fell swoop, the highest and largest fortress in Havana, which was the Morro Castle where Li Mengyang waved everyone forward.

The details need no expression. Havana is about to fall under the attack of inside and outside!

"God! Praise him!"

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

When the Revolutionary Army set foot on the land of Havana, they charged forward with these words praising Clint Lee.

"You, are you a demon or an angel?" Seeing such a scene, Irena, who hates dictators the most, was a little shaken when she heard these thunderous shouts.

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

It should be said that modesty is a virtue, but in the West, this virtue is different, anyway, it is different from our East.

"No!" The big Bill immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Clint! You are the messenger of God to the earth! You are here to lead the revolutionary team to victory!"

"Majesty! Please don't use the standards of the world to restrict you!" Then Liszt immediately joined in the fun.

"Lee! You are the king! God has given us!"

"Li, you can lead everyone forward!"

It seems that another scene of wearing a yellow robe is going to be staged, so Li Mengyang quickly took two steps forward.

"Comrades!" He pulled out his sword, "Our current target! Capture Havana! Fight with me!"

He didn't mention the matter of being an emperor. But now it's just a war, so let's just...

"Ula!"

“all-hail-lee!”

"Long live the Great Revolution!"

The revolutionary soldiers were very morale and they all competed for the first place. On March 1, 1862, Havana was taken down like this!

The Spanish Governor was hung on the wall of the highest fortress, and the remnants of Havana were eliminated. With indigenous people like Cespedes, the entire city quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. However, the Cuban people knew that the weather had changed.

"Dear Mr. Clint Lee! I really can't repay you for your help. Please testify that I am not the one who does not seek to repay you!"

"Mr. Cespedes, our revolutionary army should have given great support to the movement of the Cuban people. I just regret that we were late and that the Cuban people suffered..."

After the battle, Mr. Clint met with Mr. Cespedes in the town hall of Havana. In addition, the leader made quite candid exchanges, and the two sides became close friends. Mr. Clint Lee said that he would never interfere in Cuba's internal affairs...

This period of history will be recorded in history books and passed down by the Cuban people, but the reactions of these individuals at that time, those who listened to Clint Lee's teachings, were somewhat different.

Ilena felt sore in her teeth. What does it mean to ‘make the Cuban people suffer’? You’re still ‘later’! Do you want it to be so fake?

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

"Oh! Great Clint Lee! How noble your personality is!" Liszt plundered all the words in his mind that could be used to praise.

"Negocytosis can no longer describe Clint Lee! Such kind acts of kindness help the people of a country to achieve freedom and democracy without seeking any reward. People all over the world should respect you!"

It was not the big guy Bill or Liszt who said this, but Samuel DuPont, the former federal admiral!

"Uncle!" When I heard such an evaluation, Ilena was stunned at the time. What's wrong with Uncle?

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

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

In fact, Samuel DuPont said this, the reason is particularly simple. You must know that their DuPont family made great contributions when helping the Americans fight wars, and what Li Mengyang has done now is so similar!

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

Such calls are getting louder and higher... (To be continued)

PS: Black Cars here suggest you search for the castle in Havana, especially the castle of Morro, which is really beautiful. Thank you for your support!
