MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 51 Disaster Spread (Part 2)
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
United States Washington.
By the time President John Tyler decided to impose sanctions on those who were wasting America's bountiful land, the potato blight blight had spread to surrounding provinces.
In the following months, the germs swept across the entire United States like a plague. Fortunately, people here do not eat potatoes as a staple food, and only some people suffered losses.
In fact, as long as it is not the kind of gambler's planting that puts all eggs in one basket, most of them will not be unable to survive.
In the end, John Taylor's presidential order discredited him and became one of the handles for his opponents to attack him in the future.
And Mr. Steven, who predicted all this long ago, was regarded as a lunatic before the catastrophic potato blight came, and was regarded as a wizard after the catastrophic potato late blight.
(Wizards are considered evil in traditional Western culture.)
The windows of Steven Sipil's family were smashed, two children were thrown cow dung at school, he was beaten up by two drunks, and someone even broke into his house and set it on fire.
"Jenna, I want to sell the house and go west." Steven said after thinking for a long time.
"Is there really no other way?" Jenna had tears in her eyes. She obviously didn't want to leave her home at this time and go west.
When it comes to the American West, the magnificent, beautiful and desolate scenery will appear in many people's minds. In the next door to the yellow sand, a thorny plant rolls by with the wind, leather boots, spurs, and a cowboy hat on the head. If there is any disagreement, they will use the American style.
(Tumbleweeds are tumbleweeds, the yellow **** of dead grass that often appear in denim movies.)
A group of people happily drove the caravan, with a blonde beauty on one side and a double-barreled shotgun on the other side to kill Indians who appeared at any time.
Fertile land is full of gold, even if you don't dig gold, grow grain, and raise cattle, you can become a super rich man. In addition to drinking and fighting every day, I just watch kick dances.
If you think this way, the United States has spent more than two hundred years beautifying propaganda in vain.
In fact, it is not easy to go to the west to seek life. It usually takes several months to travel through harsh environments such as mountains and deserts.
Water and food are the most important things on the way. If you want to reach the west safely, these are not enough. You also need a lot of money to hire a guide.
Of course, the premise is that the guide has real talents and has no collusion with the robbers.
Wild animals, rattlesnakes, extreme heat, sandstorms, and tornadoes are all very common, but you have to face them if you want to reach the west.
After that is the settlement site selection, you need to avoid the Indians, areas frequented by robbers and bandits, and places where natural disasters may occur.
Cultivating land is also a tiring job, and it is common for half of one's livestock to be exhausted in order to complete this work.
But I have to admit that the land in the United States is indeed rich. As long as the seeds are sown, it is difficult not to have a good harvest. Unless there is a particularly extreme disaster, it will definitely fill the gap.
However, the western United States at this time is much more dangerous than in history. The French, Mexicans, Indians, bounty hunters hired by Austria, and the robbers of the Great Plains are all very dangerous existences.
The book returns to its original story.
Steven stroked his wife's long hair and said softly.

"Bobby fired me, and people here hate me too, can't feed you without a job. Go West, we've got a chance."
Jenna took off her own necklace, which was left to her by her mother.
"What are you doing? This is your mother's relic!" Steven asked in surprise.
"Buy two guns, we will use them on the road." Jenna said with firm eyes.
Steven sighed, he knew there was no point in arguing, and they really needed weapons to protect themselves.
"Go to bed early, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow."
"Good night, dear."
"Good night...."
Queenstown, Ireland.
Scarha Jennings was wandering outside the village with her two younger brothers, Mickey and Tommy, and the family's old dog, hoping to collect more firewood.
This will protect against the severe cold, since her youngest sister, Irene, is only one year old.
However, Scathach had nothing to gain, and the two younger brothers were busy fighting all the time. The old dog Hook caught an unlucky vole, and it seemed that there was an extra meal tonight.
Her elder brother Patric is always out of business, and his favorite thing to attend is the "reception".
A "reception" is not actually a place to drink, and there is no wine. They are a kind of secret society, an illegal organization among the British population.
But it's no secret among country bumpkins like them that almost every Irish family has a member who attends in one way or another.
In fact, the vast majority of Irish people hope to end the British colonial rule, but their power is too weak.
The old people believe that knowledge is power, so they select some "promising" people to study. But some people who have read the book know how powerful Britain is, but in turn persuade the Irish not to resist, and even help the British to harm their compatriots.
Scatha's father is very opposed to her elder brother's participation in the reception, because it will not only delay farm work, but may even get involved in dangerous politics.
Scatha's father was terrified of politics, saying it was "the culprit that makes the night darker." She is not interested in the quarrel between her father and her eldest brother. What interests her most recently are the new priests who have arrived in recent years.
Although these priests come from several different countries, they can communicate in the same language. And just like a groundhog, he either digs a cellar or a tunnel every day, and hoards all the donations he receives.
Of course, the donations from the villagers are not so much. After all, most of the Irish farmers can’t eat enough, and most of the landlords are not Irish, and even if they believe in Protestantism.
These churches usually only receive potatoes and wild vegetables, and Scakha remembers the first time the new parish priest had rapeseed soup with the children.
As soon as Tang entered the mouth, the priest's eyes widened~www.novelbuddy.com~Looking around, he thought the children were playing tricks on him. But after seeing the children swallowing the soup, the priest took a deep breath and started to drink the soup. After repeating it several times, he finally showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Mystery benefactors who appear regularly will donate directly to pounds or wheat, which are also the source of communion in churches. Of course, the nearby villagers are reluctant to let their children go to church to receive communion, because after eating white bread, they will feel that the food at home cannot be swallowed.

At first, before these strange priests came, communion could only be taken once a year. After they came, it became once a week, and later changed to once a month at the suggestion of the villagers.
These priests like to inquire about the situation here very much, and they will visit and draw maps, and even inquire about the situation of the British.
Scathach felt that they were a group of spies, so he secretly asked the priest during the confession, but was denied by the other party.
Her elder brother Patritt denied this, because the priests only inquired about customs, as well as the preferences and policies of the British.
Many people in the organization have approached these priests and said that they are fighting to overthrow the British rule, and then whatever Catholic country will rule Ireland will do.
But the caliber of these priests is very consistent, that is, they come only to save the world, not to provoke war.
In fact, what these priests said was not a lie, because it was all ordered by Franz, and he didn't want or need these priests to know too much.
