In fact, the affairs of the Chinese in the United States have always been under control.

When he launched the war against the United States, Zhu Jinglun's purpose was very simple: to strike at the United States when it was at its best, when the United States was expanding its power to the Pacific region step by step, and when its naval strength had not yet been formed.

The plan after the strike is also very clear, the great powers cannot accept the Ming to cede the territory of the United States, but the Ming still has to maintain its influence in the United States, especially in the western United States, so support the local Chinese to gain more power, this is the only feasible way, just to gain power in the American political system, which is not easy, according to the number of local Chinese enough to elect a Chinese governor, but after the war, the United States has never held elections in California and other places under various pretexts.

Zhu Jinglun can predict that he does not intend to coerce the United States again, he wants influence, as long as the power of the local Chinese is not restricted, Zhu Jinglun believes that their ability will be released.

Sure enough, after there were no political constraints, the Chinese soon achieved an absolute advantage in the local area, not only the population accounted for the majority, before the war the local white people were about 800,000, the Chinese exceeded a million, many white people left the local area during the war, and after the war, only 400,000 continued to live here, the US government sent 300,000 troops here, but only maintained the white population at more than 700,000. The Chinese population continued to grow after the war, and the number of new immigrants and births soon exceeded 2 million, occupying an absolute advantage in population.

The demographic advantage was soon transformed into an economic advantage, and the Chinese established a complete Chinese economic network in the local area, at this time the Chinese did not need to integrate into the white society, because they were self-contained, but it was difficult for the white people who could not integrate into the Chinese economic network to survive, so the Chinese soon after the war achieved dominance in California and other places.

However, the status of the Chinese in the local area is not only an economic and demographic advantage, in fact, there are some privileges.

During the war, the Taiping forces occupied the gold and silver mines in the Sierra Nevada area, during the war they seized a considerable amount of precious metals, after the war after the American capitalists returned, the Taiping army did not want to easily return to Stanford and other mining giants, on the one hand, through legal means, to buy mining rights from these giants, the other party refused to cooperate, or when the price was skyrocketing, the Taiping forces had methods, the methods were not so legal, such as illegal mining, such as forcible occupation, obstructing the other party from opening mines, anyway, the Taiping army valued the place, It is basically impossible for the capitalists to recruit workers to resume production, they cannot recruit Chinese workers, and the pre-war arrogant white Irish people dare not come, and they will be beaten or even killed if they come.

In short, post-war California was wilder and more disorderly than the pre-war West, and the U.S. government also stationed heavy troops in California for this reason, at the strong request of the California giants.

But the army came, and it was difficult to establish an American-style order.

They tried to send government agencies to Chinese villages and towns, but the Chinese villages and towns in the delta area established by labor companies were willing to accept them, and soon post offices, police stations and other institutions were restored. But in the area ruled by the Taiping army, there was no leakage, and the sheriff sent one by one to die, and they didn't know who killed them. The U.S. military sent people to investigate, but there was no result, and conflicts broke out for this, and the U.S. military planned to surround the local Chinese villages and towns and coerce them by force, but the locals immediately organized themselves, and hundreds of thousands of people took up guns. The Chinese consul also protested, so that the United States did not dare to take action.

So for a long time after the war, in fact, the Taiping Army became the biggest ethnic problem in the United States, and these people were almost self-governing, which was difficult for other Western countries to accept, but the Americans accepted it, and they regarded these Chinese as Indian tribes, just as the Sierra Nevada was a Chinese reservation.

At that time, when other domestic problems were not resolved, the U.S. government acquiesced in the situation, and it was not until the dissolution of the Confederate States and the suppression of the black insurrection that the United States tried to solve the western problem.

So far, everything is going according to Zhu Jinglun's assumption, including the brutal behavior of the Taiping army, which is allowed and even guided by the Chinese government, otherwise hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops will not have a good result if they only rely on light weapons to confront the US army. It is the endorsement of the Chinese government behind it, and the pressure on the United States has emboldened them.

However, Zhu Jinglun accurately calculated all political and economic issues, but missed an important issue, the religious issue.

It's not that he doesn't want to count, but religion is about thoughts, and thoughts lie in people's hearts, and people's hearts are unpredictable, how do you calculate?

The main thing is to underestimate the power of the God Worship Cult, he feels that this is just a cult, and what can a cult do. But they just got it done.

After Hong Xiuquan came back from the dead, who knows what psychological changes have happened.

And in order to revive Hong Xiuquan, Zhu Jinglun turned on some of the mechanical functions hidden in Hong Xiuquan's skull, although Hong Xiuquan himself didn't know the reason, but soon discovered that he had a superpower, that is, the ability to treat incurable diseases.

No matter how serious the injury, no matter how incorrigible the disease, it can be cured in his hands. All he had to do was touch the heads of the believers and pray silently, and soon these believers would recover.

His own resurrection was a miracle in itself, and his constant display of his abilities made him more and more believers.

Not only did the remnants of the Taiping Army in the Sierra Nevada Mountains believe in him very much, the second generation of Taiping Army disciples revered him very much, and even many local whites began to believe in him. It is not unreasonable that the theories of the Horse Sect Master can influence the approval of so many conscientious elites, and the moral degradation of the industrial era has boosted all kinds of civilian thoughts.

The ideology of the American elite is inherently special, and organizations like Freemasonry can be popular in the United States, and the idea of worshipping God is not unacceptable. So they were either shocked by Hong Xiuquan's body, or they were treated by Hong Xiuquan's miraculous healing ability, and a group of local white elites in California slowly joined Hong Xiuquan's organization. Accepted his religious ideas that blended Christianity, Chinese small-peasant thought, Jewish teachings, and various other nonsense legends. He also helped the Worship of God to improve the religious organization and establish a missionary system.

There is only one core of faith, that is, to establish a small paradise on earth, anyone who goes to the villages and towns of the Taiping Army, as long as they believe in the worship of God and settle in the local area, they can get the fields, everyone has a share, and distribute it equally, the land in the United States is not scarce, this kind of government military system in the Tang Dynasty is easy to implement. As a result, the Nevada Valley region is gathering more and more believers, and it is growing even faster than Mormonism on the other side of the mountain. They live a life of male farmers and women weaving, and there is no restriction on monogamy, if you want to marry a few wives, you can marry a few wives, everyone works together, lives together, not rich but simple.

Worship churches also began to be widely established, the Chinese would go to incense, the white people would go to pray, and the most devout were the Indians who moved to Southern California and became nomads.

Hong Xiuquan's thinking has no boundaries, no racial consciousness, is extremely inclusive, and does not even force believers to worship, everyone is worshipping God according to their own way of believing.

In less than a decade, the Cult of God has developed millions of Chinese believers, more than 100,000 white believers, and basically all Indian minds.

After a war destroyed most of the Indian reservations, many Indians came to Southern California with the retreat of the Ming army, and after the war, the U.S. government also intended to clear the Indian reservations in the Midwest, and forced many tribes to move to Southern California. As a result, after the war, nearly 200,000 Indians gathered here, and although they had not yet formed a unified linguistic habit, they generally embraced the nomadic life.

Southern California lacks water, but there is a big river, the San Joaquin River. In the spring, when meltwater from the mountains of Nevada flooded the San Joaquin River and the arid desert turned into a prairie, the Indians drove their cattle and sheep to live in pursuit of water and grass, and when the spring waters receded, they returned to the riverbank. This reciprocating nomadism has formed a unique nomadic economy.

The Worship of God organized the Indians, and the believers donated money to help them buy a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, and the Chinese believers would also come here to do business, bring all kinds of supplies to the Indians, and take away the Indians' cattle, mutton and furs. Although not rich, its own independent economy has been formed. With the Indians assured, the population began to increase, and within a decade young couples generally had three or four children, and the Indian population increased from 200,000 to more than 300,000.

The U.S. government stabilized law and order in other places and began to seek a solution to the California problem, the Chinese problem is complex, and it has both the ability to divide and the threat of a powerful Chinese government, and the United States does not dare to move those Chinese easily, and has aimed the spearhead at the Indians, intending to solve the Indians problem first.

The development of the western part of the United States has been manifested in the capitalization of land, the transformation of the Great Plains into large farms, into the assets of agricultural companies, so that the land can be developed at the same time, but also quickly transformed into capital power. So they can't accept the nomadism of the Indians, and the nomadic land is public land and is anti-capitalized.

They intended to establish farms in the nomadic lands of the Indians, especially by the rivers with the best hydrological conditions, sent soldiers, enclosed some good land, and intended to attract and attract whites and increase their numbers. But these riverside lands are not only the best land, but also the homes of the Indians. What the U.S. government meant was to help the Indians establish reservations in the desert, to expel all the Indians into them, and to give them some subsidies every year. That's what they used to do, and the Indians of the past only needed a little drunkenness to live and die, and then they died out honestly and reservedly.

In the past, the Indians saw that the bison had died out, and they could not beat the whites, so there was no hope, but now they happily lived a nomadic life, and there was a worship of God to fill the mind, and the king told them that everyone was happy, everyone had land to cultivate, everyone had clothes to wear, and in the Indians, everyone could move freely on the land, graze freely, and sing freely, instead of being locked up in the reserve and waiting for death.

So the two sides couldn't talk, and they couldn't get along, and they fought, and the Indians couldn't beat the American army, but they were organized, they believed in Hong Xiuquan, and thought that Hong Xiuquan was a god, and they asked their god for help, and their god responded to them, so the Taiping army revolted.

Although Li Xiucheng and other first-generation Taiping Army generals are old, they cooperated with the war between the Ming Army and the American Army a few years ago, so that the second-generation Taiping Army soldiers grew up, and a large number of white elites helped, and even many believers appeared in the local American Army.
