Super Chief - Chapter 728

In fact, Shi Xiong himself had no grievances with this city in his previous life, but he couldn’t stand him. The old Shi family was a big family. To be precise, the people who had enemies with this city were the ancestors of Shi Xiong.

　　 Well, it’s the father of the grandfather’s grandfather Shixiong!

　　The six generations of the ancestors of the stone bear. If called according to the ancient system, the ancestor should be called the ancestor of the stone bear, and the ancestor of the stone bear is the grandson of the ancestor.

Before this era without a soul, Shi Xiong would always see that very old genealogy in the stone-style ancestral hall in his hometown every time he returned to his hometown during Chinese New Year. On that genealogy, the stone bear could see that one. The name of the ancestor named “Shi Chuan”.

When I was a child, Shi Xiong’s grandfather once told Shi Xiong a lot about these ancestors in the genealogy, and the most talked about is the old ancestor called Shi Chuan, because compared to other ancestors in the genealogy, this The deeds of the ancestors are really legendary.

　　 The ancestor of the stone bear was born in 1890 during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. If the ancestor was still alive, the ancestor of the stone bear would have been 129 years old in the year that the stone bear crossed.

　　 When this ancestor was young, because his family was poor, he couldn’t eat. When he was sixteen, in 1905, he ran out to find food by himself. He went all the way north and finally came to Tianjin Wei, where he was fooled into a boat, and then he was dragged to Los Angeles, the city of angels, and became an oil extraction worker in Los Angeles.

　　 Shi Chuan worked as an oil producer in Los Angeles for three years. He thought he would never be able to return home in his life, but in early 1908, a fire broke out in the oil field he was in. This ancestor also had a few Chinese oil workers who escaped from the dead, and then escaped from Los Angeles taking advantage of the chaos.

At first, this old ancestor wanted to go north to San Francisco with three other compatriots who had escaped from birth. Because there were the most Chinese, the four of them met a wealthy Chinese businessman on the road. Coincidentally, the wealthy Chinese businessman was still with Shi Chuan is a fellow of Shandong Province.

　　 When the wealthy Chinese businessman saw the tragedy of these compatriots, he took the initiative to invite the four of them to go to Mexico with him, because the wealthy Chinese businessman also needed some people with knowledge and knowledge to work for him. Compared with the lazy and greedy locals, this wealthy Chinese businessman is of course more willing to use hardworking compatriots.

　　 So it was Shi Chuan that the four of them were so confused and followed this compatriot wealthy businessman south to Mexico, and finally settled in Torreon.

　　 With their hard work, the four of them quickly stood up in Torreon. Shi Chuan even found a compatriot daughter-in-law when he came to Torreon.

　　 In the second year, Shi Chuan’s first child was born, and with the help of the wealthy businessman, he also had a small business of his own. Although it is not rich and expensive, there is absolutely no problem supporting the family.

　　Shi Chuan’s wife is also a Chinese. The young couple worked hard with their newborn child, and the couple planned to wait until they had enough money to return to their hometown. After all, here are all foreign countries, where can I have my own hometown?

　　 As a result, this good day did not last long. In May 1911, the famous Torreon tragedy in history completely destroyed this happy and happy home.

　　 After Porphyriodias was elected President of Mexico in 1877, he began to implement policies to encourage foreign investment and immigration. In 1899, he signed a treaty of friendship and trade with the Manchu and Qing government in China, and many Chinese began to flood into Mexico.

　　Most of these Chinese settled in several states in northern Mexico. As a city of high strategic significance, Torreon is naturally indispensable for Chinese to settle here.

　　 Relying on hard work and clever minds, the Chinese quickly gained a foothold in Torreon and made a lot of money. At that time, there were more than 600 Chinese settled in Torreon, and there was even a well-funded Chinese bank in the area.

The success of the Chinese made many locals jealous, and when the Mexican rebels, under the leadership of Francisco Madero, attacked Torreon on May 13, 1911 and broke the city, those rebels Militants and locals slaughtered and looted Chinese businesses in Kashgar. In more than ten hours, more than 300 Chinese were killed on the spot, causing bloodshed that shocked the world. History called the Torreon tragedy.

　　The ancestor of Shixiong lost his left hand in this tragedy, and his wife also died in that tragedy. Fortunately, under the desperate protection of Shi Chuan and his wife, their two-and-a-half-year-old son was fine.

　　 After the tragedy, although the Qing government at the time was overwhelmed, it immediately lodged a strong protest to the Mexican government and demanded compensation of up to 30 million pesos. Later, because the Mexican government ignored it, the Manchu Qing government sent the cruiser “Haiqi” ​​repaired in New York to put pressure on the Mexican government.

　　 The tragedy caused great harm to the Chinese in Torreon. After the ancestor of Stone Xiong recovered from the injury, he took his surviving son and returned to his hometown sadly.

　　 Well, the surviving son of Shi Chuan is the grandfather of Shi Xiong’s grandfather, that is, Shi Xiong’s great ancestor. And the daughter-in-law who died in that tragedy was Shixiong’s grandmother Tianzu

Although Shi Chuan returned to his hometown and married a wife and had children, if there was no Tianzu grandma who died in the tragedy, if Shi Chuan’s first son had not survived by chance~www.mtlnovel.com~ then the world would also There would be no Shi Xiong, and there would be no Great China Empire in this time and space.

These things were told by Shi Xiong’s grandfather when he was a child, and they were not told once or twice. Therefore, Shi Xiong was very impressed with his ancestor, and even remembered the place of Torreon with Shi Xiong. .

Therefore, although the place of Torreon is not directly related to Shixiong himself, Shixiong’s grandmother Tianzu died in this place after all, so when Shixiong decided to take action on the Governorate of New Spain and suddenly looked at it on the map. When he arrived in this city, Shi Xiong decided to avenge his grandmother Tianzu.

　　 Although in this time and space in this era, Torreon did not harm Shixiong’s grandmother Tianzu, but the memories of the previous life are not so easy to forget.

　　 And easily knocking down a city is what is difficult for the current Grizzly Army?

　　 So the city is completely unlucky.

　　 Although Torreon is now a large fortress, it is far from being a city. But blame you for taking such a name!

　　 The two division artillery regiments of the first and eighth divisions and the artillery battalions under each regiment surrounded this large fortress, and then carried out a full twenty minutes of saturated artillery bombardment.

　　 When the shelling ended, the entire fortress had completely turned into a ruin, worse than Boston before.

　　Even the more than 1,000 local residents, Spanish merchants and a small part of the garrison who did not escape in the fortress were all turned gray
