There should be no contradiction between the United States and China, the border has been divided, and China has always been the largest importer of American cotton.

However, human society is often extremely complex, and there are many closely related contradictions, but there are no connections and no contradictions. The root of the contradiction between the two countries lies in the distance, if the two countries are still separated by oceans, then hello, hello, hello, everyone, but once China enters the door of the United States, or the United States enters the door of China, it is strange that there is no contradiction.

The United States always expelled the Indians from its own territory to the Chinese side, and these Indians had no permanent residence, had no concept of land at all, and migrated if they could not defeat the Americans. But China is also trying to occupy land, and these backward Indians also want to occupy land when they enter China.

Rather than deporting them back, the Chinese did not resettle them, organize their households, and send officials to manage them, but the Indians did not obey, which led to frequent conflicts in China's border areas. When it was discovered that the Americans were interested in driving the Indians away, the crown prince protested to the U.S. government several times, but to no avail.

After the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu between the Manchus and Russia, the two sides agreed to cooperate in restricting the movement of the same ethnic group on both sides of the frontier, dividing some ethnic groups that were originally considered Mongol tribes, called the Yakuts in Russia and the Oroqen in China.

The U.S. government did not accept China's proposal to restrict the relocation of the Indians, which was the most direct conflict between the two sides.

The crown prince mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to build tens of thousands of earthen forts along the border between the two countries, and even built simple border walls to prevent the Indians from moving in. This greatly constrained China's infiltration into Canada, otherwise it would not be limited to the South Saskatchewan River, but would have long since broken through the North Saskatchewan River and even reached Hudson Bay.

In fact, the reason why the Americans expelled the Indians policy, it is not unrelated to China, China in the era of industrialization, the demand for raw materials is too huge, the cotton production in the southern states of the United States is much larger than in history, because the profit of cotton production is as high as 30 percent, in the last 30 years, the United States cotton production has tripled, the annual cotton trade has quadrupled, and the export of cotton is as high as 3 billion pounds, with a total value of 500 million US dollars; The fiery cotton industry has increased the price of slaves, the main force of cotton production, by five times, and the price of a strong slave is as high as $2,000 at its peak, which is equivalent to the wages of skilled workers in the United States for four years. As a result, there were 5 million black slaves in the American South, and two out of every three people were slaves.

Cotton production also requires a lot of land, and the Indians in the eastern coastal areas of the United States do not know where they went, whether they were killed or died of the plague, it is not known, but there are still a large number of Indians living west of the Alabachian Mountains, the five largest groups, all living east of the Mississippi River, two to the west of the Alabachian Mountains, the Cherokee and the Creek, and two east of the Mississippi River, the Chickasor and the Choctaw. Located in the Great Lakes region, the Shawnee tribe has historically allied with the British against the United States, and after the independence of the United States, the British designated the west of the Alabachian Mountains as Indian territory, but the United States did not take it seriously and continued to expand westward.

These Indians, with the exception of the Shawnee in the Great Lakes, are all located in the southern cotton-growing states. The Chickasaw and Choctaw are located in Mississippi and Louisiana, the Cherokee are located in Tennessee, and the Creek covers Georgia and Alabama. The slave owners could easily persuade the state they controlled to send the military and police to drive the Indians out for the sake of the land. These Indians had to enter Chinese territory when they moved westward.

The Shawnee people in the north were driven out, not only because they had fought against the United States, but also because the United States needed land in the Great Lakes. With the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, the price of grain transported from the Great Lakes region to Europe fell by more than ten times, which greatly changed the situation that American grain was not competitive with Russia, Prussia and other countries, and exported a large number of grain to the British market. The prospect of food production has stimulated agricultural production in the Great Lakes, and a large number of farms have been established, and these farms are all built on the territory of the Shawnee people.

Because of a land issue, China and the Americas are at odds not only with the slave owners in the south of the United States, but also with the agricultural forces in the north of the United States, which is actually equivalent to a conflict with the entire United States.

Otherwise, at least the slave owners in the south would not have become hostile to China, which was their biggest customer. And the current US government has always been in the hands of the southerners. Historically, this situation lasted until just before the American Civil War, when Lincoln came to power to break this status quo of Southerners' monopoly on federal power. Historically, the southern states were more favorable to the control of the U.S. government because of the larger cotton trade and larger populations.

The election of the federal government in the United States is very special, called the Electoral College system, the voters are not directly elected as individuals, but with the state as an electoral college, and each state is equal in determining the number of votes for the president, that is, who supports the state more, who is elected, rather than who supports who is more who is elected.

This will lead to a situation where many presidents can become presidents even though they have a smaller number of direct supporters, such as Lincoln, who supported only 40 percent of the population, but he managed to get more states in the North than in the South to vote for him, because the North states were outnumbered in the South, so Lincoln was elected.

Normally, this doesn't happen because the number of states is proportional to the number of people. The South suffers a loss because slaves are not counted as people, even though they control the government, they can only let five slaves be converted into three whites to calculate, and the population of the southern slave states is small, so a discount is even less. Therefore, the number of slave states is getting smaller and smaller, but the north has caused a large number of free immigrants to pour into the west, resulting in an increasing number of newly established states in the west, which gradually pressed down on the south, and gradually gained the upper hand in the selection of parliamentary representatives and presidents.

The struggle for power between the two sides has even led to a split in the foreign policies of the North and the South, and when the United States fought the Mexican-American War, the North did not support it, and stood aside to watch the excitement. It is feared that after the United States annexes the State of Mexico, it will greatly increase the number of slave states in the South, causing the South to continue to monopolize and strengthen its control over the US federal government.

In recent years, the popularity of the cotton trade has increased the population of the South rapidly, and the total population has been equal to that of the North, and the number of states is more than that of the North, so the Southern slave states are increasingly demanding the repeal of the decree prohibiting the slave trade, and they hope to be able to freely import slaves, because the cost of smuggling through the Caribbean is really high.

It's a pity that the crown prince did not take advantage of this internal conflict between the north and the south, but blindly put pressure on the entire United States. Finally completely forced the United States to the side of Britain, after the two countries reached an agreement. The United States began to use the same rhetoric to put pressure on China, hoping to take back the free navigation rights of Chinese merchant ships on the Mississippi River, and they used the excuse that a large number of Chinese merchant ships were smuggling into Louisiana and Mississippi on the grounds of free navigation.

Most of the smuggled goods are slaves, American black slaves who came from the Caribbean sea, and most of these Chinese merchant ships are owned by American slave owners, and Louisiana and Mississippi acquiesce in this smuggling because of the power relationship between slave owners, so as to circumvent the federal government's prohibition of the slave trade law. This was a conspiracy between the dirtiest business groups of the two countries, just as the Americans of later generations invested in China and exported to the United States, causing a huge surplus, and the Americans put all the blame on China, and it was the transnational capital that benefited the most, not China, which made hard-earned money.

The British made a claim to the Rocky Mountains region, and they produced a more detailed map of the Rocky Mountains and asked to expand their territory west of the Rocky Mountains. China, on the other hand, insists that it should at least be bounded by a watershed. The British also insisted that Canada was the undisputed territory of the British, that they were the first to establish a stronghold here, that they were the first to sign treaties with the Indians, and that they were the rightful masters of the area.

China, on the other hand, adheres to the principle of de facto possession, arguing that the British have no control over the area, and that there are already a million Chinese in southern Canada, while the British number is less than 300,000. The boundaries here are blurred, no borders have ever been demarcated, and both sides are demarcated by the areas of activity of the local Indian tribes that have taken refuge in them, but the areas of activity of the Indians coincide. And some tribes have defected half to China and half to the British.

Although he did not make concessions to Britain and the United States at the same time, the possibility of a war between the three parties because of such a small colony was still very small, and Zhou Lang gave the crown prince full powers to train him in the Americas. The reason why he was allowed to exercise in the Americas is because this is the fringe of China's power, and its importance is not as important as that of the provinces and regions in China, and even if he makes a mistake, it will not cause much damage. The same is true for Britain and the United States, which are disputes on the periphery, and the likelihood of a full-scale war between the three great powers is extremely low.

However, because the crown prince was too careless, he had no idea of dividing and disintegrating the United States internally, allowing the United States and Britain to stand together, or allowing the United States to reconcile with Britain, pulling Britain to his side, forming a two-to-one situation, which made it possible for China to face the dilemma of Anglo-American alliance in the event of a war.

And war is sometimes inevitable, sometimes very accidental.

It must be the outbreak of the kind of contradictions that accumulate for a long time until they cannot be resolved, and by chance, there are all kinds of possibilities. For example, the outbreak of World War I was caused by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, and the contradictions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia and Russia behind Serbia had been brewing for decades.

It is impossible for China and the United States to go to war now because of the Indians in the border area, and there is no war between China and Britain because of the bitter cold of Canada, but if it is a huge land that is big enough to make everyone's heart, and there is a lot of gold in this land, then anything can happen.

In October of the 18th year of the Great Wednesday, Texas in northern Mexico declared its independence and established a Republic of Texas, commonly known as the Lone Star Republic, which was rich in gold in the Colorado River Basin.
