Section 606 Everyone in the world is a pawn
Zhu Yong valued Conway, and he felt that this person could be the president of the Confederate States in the future. Despite his unique status, he was born in Virginia to a large plantation owner who kept a large number of black slaves. But he himself opposed slavery, and even once bought train tickets to help more than a dozen of his father's slaves escape to the north.
During the war, his family, his two brothers, joined the Confederate army, but he ran north and was received by Lincoln. Later, the abolitionist organization financed his activities in England, and as a result, he took the initiative to speak out on behalf of the United States, which was opposed by the North and the South in unanimous manner. Such a person who is not allowed to be allowed by the family, the hometown, and the country is really interesting.
Because such a person will not be tolerated by the world in the future!
Therefore, Zhu Yong introduced Conway to some forces that are not tolerated in the world, and the forces of the American Company have contact, including abolitionist organizations, the United States, Brazil, and even Cuba and other former Spanish colonies, especially those with abolitionist organizations in Cuba and other places, and the most special one is an organization located in Haiti.
Haiti is a very special American country because it was the first to become independent in South America, and they completely purged the white people in the country and began to be ruled by blacks. But after independence, the political situation has been unstable, repeatedly falling into a state of warlord coups, the first president de Saline, after the massacre of all white people, himself died in an assassination, and then Haiti was divided into north and south, Henri Christophe, who ruled the north, first became president, and then simply became king, like the slave owners in the past, drove the black to build 6 palaces and 8 palaces for him, of which the Fort de La Ferrier drove 200,000 migrant workers. His oppression provoked a revolt, and in 1820 he committed suicide by swallowing a gun in a coup d'état. Alexander Pétion, the ruler of the South, won the hearts and minds of many people by dividing the large estates of slave owners into small plots of land and distributing them to blacks, but the blacks were too poor in self-discipline and completely failed economically, just like many countries in Africa, after driving out the white farmers, the blacks got the land and abandoned the land. As a result, the export of sugar, which is the backbone of the economy, fell from 163 million pounds in 1791 to 1825 pounds in 2020, leaving little economic significance. Pétion's successor, who took advantage of the chaos in the north and united Haiti, took the name Jean-Pierre Boille.
Jean-Pierre Boille was a capable ruler who not only stabilized Haiti, but also unified the island with troops and captured the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo in the eastern half.
But Boille began to face pressure from the European powers, and before independence, Haiti was a French colony, which had acquired the western half of Hispaniola from Spain. So Haiti became independent from France, and Napoleon sold Louisiana in order to suppress Haiti. After Napoleon's defeat and the restoration of the Bourbons in France, they were free to file a claim against Haiti for the white plantations confiscated during the War of Independence.
When Boille refused, France sent a fleet to blockade the island of Hispaniola and demanded $30 million in compensation. Boille eventually entered into negotiations with France, which resulted in a reduction in the reparations to $12 million, to be paid over 30 years, at $400,000 per year. In order to cope with the reparations, Boiille reduced government spending and adopted a policy of military management in the countryside in order to maintain agricultural production, and the economic difficulties led to another coup d'état, after which Bouille fell, and Haiti fell into a long period of turmoil. All forces are trying to manipulate the country, and the powerful and powerful control the parliament and the government, acting recklessly. In four years, Haiti had four black presidents, and in 1844 it lost Santo Domingo in the east of the island.
It was not until 1847 that the Haitian Senate elected the illiterate black guard captain Faustin Sulluc as president, and when Faustin came to power, he exiled senators who tried to manipulate him, and abolished the republic in 1849. Faustin proclaimed himself Emperor Faustin I and held a lavish and costly coronation in Port-au-Prince in April 1852.
Haiti has once again entered the era of imperial power. Suluk was a pure black poisoner, illiterate, and passionate about violence, suppressing all those who resisted, and constantly attacking the Spanish colonies in the eastern part of the island, which made the finances even more difficult. Finally, in 1859, he was forced to abdicate in a coup d'état by General Fabre Gevlar, Duke of Tabara, who was chief of staff.
Fabre later became president, but he thought that he was a more accomplished president, supported education, established medical colleges, navigation, and art colleges, encouraged the establishment of industrial and technical schools in the cities, and sent students to study in Europe. It ordered the construction of water storage facilities in major cities, supported agriculture and small-scale industry, and hired foreigners to assist in the development of the country.
Fabre's ascension to power symbolizes the possibility of Haiti entering an era of stability and the formation of a new hierarchy. After independence, Haiti had a heavily walled caste system, in which the "noble" caste was dominated by mulattoes, in addition to wealthy, pure-blooded blacks, who lived in the cities, owned real estate in the countryside, monopolized civil and military officials, judges, lawyers, doctors and other professions, and 97% of the country's population (almost all blacks) was of low status and was an inferior caste. Fabre is a mixed race, and the previous Boisille and Christopher were also mixed races.
Still, Fabre believed that Haiti was a fair black country, better than Brazil and the United States, because blacks were free here, and he was keen to support foreign opposition rather than directly use force, such as his long-standing support of Dominican exiles against Spanish colonial rule. There were also some black slaves who fled from the United States and Brazil, survived in Haiti, and established abolitionist organizations. Compared to the abolitionist organizations in the United States and Brazil, this is a truly abolitionist organization made up of black people.
The biggest difference between this abolitionist organization and those abolitionist organizations led by white people in the United States is that they not only abolished slavery, but also opposed white rule, white Americans want the South to abolish slavery, and then the North and the South will be reunited into one country, and their desire is to establish a black country in the South.
Introducing Conway to such an organization is not very reliable.
"Your Highness, can this person succeed?"
Zhu Yong's prime minister was very suspicious.
A large number of officials under Zhu Yong are from the American Company, and they are senior officials of the American Company, and they have been engaged in management work in the company's territory, and their administrative ability is not weak.
"Whether it works out or not, he doesn't count."
Zhu Yong sighed.
The prime minister said: "That's right, it's just a chess piece!" ”
Zhu Yong smiled bitterly: "Chess pieces? Who of us is not a pawn! ”
The prime minister said: "Why did Your Highness say this? ”
Zhu Yongdao: "You and I are both chess pieces. If it weren't for the pawn who risked death to cross the river, he would already be lucky. Do you know why I came here to be king? ”
The prime minister said: "Of course, His Royal Highness is talented and appreciated by the emperor." ”
Zhu Yong's own ability knows that he is not a studious person. Back then, a group of their children of powerful people were summoned to the palace since childhood, invited the best famous teachers to give lectures, and even the emperor personally inquired about their studies. And Zhu Yong is one of the worst students among them, he is not treated well by the teacher because he is not good at learning and cannot sit still.
When he became an adult, the group of classmates went to their own futures, some went to university to study, some went overseas to study, and some went to the military or government agencies to train, but he went to learn to do business. Before coming to the Americas, they had not shown any unusual abilities. The only thing that is different from others is perhaps a restless heart.
It's just that he is easy to make friends, he has friends from three religions and nine streams, he doesn't like literature, but he loves martial arts, and he has developed a strong physique, and he has the kung fu to be able to handle it. Other than that, there is nothing long. Among those students, the best could even marry the royal family and hook up with the royal princess, but he could only marry the Wei family, a wealthy merchant family, and both families wanted the two sides to strengthen their business relationship rather than political relationship.
But he was chosen to be the king of the Incas.
Zhu Yong is not good at learning, and he does not leave the impression of being intelligent, but his ability is there, he goes south and north, and he has a practical spirit. He spoke many languages, Mongolian, Russian, English, French, several indigenous languages of the Indians, and his ability to use interpersonal relationships may have been his strength, but he did not think that the emperor would pay attention to them.
So he felt that he was a pawn arranged by the emperor, and the only thing he didn't understand was that the emperor made him this Inca king, but he didn't have any instructions for him. Like the judgment of the domestic high-level, he believed that the emperor would definitely intervene in the American Civil War and would definitely have a backhand, but he couldn't guess what this backhand was.
It wasn't until he found out that the crown prince's faction had begun to act, and Zhu Yong was close to the water and the tower to get the moon first, and he immediately understood what the emperor's followers were.
The emperor's backhand is to do nothing, because the emperor has done everything well.
Zhu Yong didn't know if the emperor had given any orders to the crown prince, but he knew that the emperor had not given him any instructions, nor had he given any instructions to the American Company, but Zhu Yong and the American Company had to act on their own. Because of the U.S. problem, the impact on the American company and Zhu Yong is the greatest.
As long as the United States is reunified, then the United States will be the number one force in the Americas, and its hard power can even resist China's American territory. The United States lacks nothing, the agricultural conditions in the southern region are excellent, and it is the world's cotton empire. The industrial power of the North is even more developed than that of the Chinese Territory of the Americas, which focused on the development of agriculture and population. The coal of Alabachia and the iron ore of Lake Superior are world-class high-quality minerals, and they are connected by waterways in the Great Lakes region, and the smelting industries in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago and other places are world-class.
However, in terms of industrial power, the Americas rank fourth in the world after China, Britain and France, and in heavy industry, they also rank fourth in the world after China, Britain and Germany. In the Americas, it is simply a lantern that cannot find an opponent. Such a country, if it had both the industrial endowment of the north and the agricultural endowment of the south, the Inca kingdom would never be able to compete with it. Since Zhu Yong became the king of the Incas, he has no reason to let his country be obscure, he also wants to be a powerful monarch, and he also has to make contributions.
So he must maintain the division of the United States.
Zhu Yong judged that this must also be what the emperor wants, so the emperor does not need to do anything, he only needs to put a suitable person in the position of the Inca king, then the kingdom will definitely try to block the unification of the United States. If the emperor had any follow-ups, it was only for people, not for specific plans.
This made Zhu Yong sigh that although everything he did was in line with his own interests and the interests of the country under his rule, it was still the emperor's arrangement, and he felt that he was just a big chess piece!
Maybe when it comes to the position of the emperor, everyone in the world is just a pawn in his hands!
So as the king, what chess pieces does he Zhu Yong have in his hands?
