Jiuding Capital's backer can be best described by the "Upper Three Banners" of California, belonging to the nobility of territorial expansion.
California was originally part of Mexico, and pro-slavery factions in America specifically waged war to broaden their influence.
The victorious American troops settled in for the long term, and the officers became the wealthiest, most prominent and powerful individuals in California.
The "Lower Three Banners" of California were the Gold Prospectors who rushed in upon hearing the news, among whom a group stood out as they demonstrated their superiority with strength.
While others came with sincere intentions to mine gold, this group "mined" from the Gold Prospectors themselves, quickly rising to become the new elite in California.
As towns continued to be established, local order became refined under the guidance of local government officials.
