"What? The Confederates appeared in the Delaware Valley, had captured Trenton, burned the city, and sacked Princeton University. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Grant seemed to have received 10,000 points of damage, and Yang Dongfang's actions greatly exceeded his expectations, which was a constraint on his actions, because just after the fall of Washington and the news of the capture of cabinet members and members of the House of Representatives reached New York.

In addition to panic, soon the states in the northeast that were not attacked by the Confederate army reached an agreement in tandem, insisting on not compromising with the Confederate army, and forming a new cabinet government, in an attempt to set up a new government in New York, with new leadership powers.

And it was the governor of New York who was in charge of all this, and they had sent a tactful letter to elect former Vice President Hannibal Hamlin as the new president.

As long as he recognized the new government in New York, he Grant was also the commander-in-chief of the Army and the war force, continuing to command all federal armies.

"Ed Wood! You go into town and tell President Lincoln about what New York is doing, and see how they react. ”

Edwood said, "But Commander-in-Chief! These days. ”

Grant waved his hand, his mood fell to the bottom, very confused and complicated: "Go quickly!" I believe that Robert Lee will not stop you this time,"

Soon Edwood entered the city, and sure enough, this time Robert Lee did not stop him, and agreed to meet him with Lincoln and others, and before he could speak, the Secretary of State said first: "Is Trenton really captured by the Confederate army, and it was burned by fire." ”

"Mr. William, how do you know? A few days ago, the Confederate army captured Trenton and sacked Princeton University, and now it is estimated that it has crossed the Laritan Bay and killed New York, and it is estimated that New York will not be safe. Ed Wood didn't hide what he said, but he was curious and felt like what had happened to the president and secretary of state.

Andrew Johnson said, "It seems that what the Southern Ghosts are saying is true, and they are really going to destroy New York and the entire East and North states." ”

Hearing this, everyone's face turned purple, and their eyes were on Lincoln, only to see Lincoln closed his eyes and expressionless, and the atmosphere suddenly looked awkward and weird, only until Edwood understood the beginning of all this, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that Robert Lee didn't let himself go into the city to meet everyone these days, it turned out that they had been preparing to attack New York for a long time, and the news was leaked slowly.

It's just that the cabinet is really big-hearted, so they didn't give in and agree to peace, ceasefire to end the war, and they knew in their hearts that they briefly talked about the situation in New York.

"What? New York and the Northeast states are to form a new government in New York. Hannibal Hamlin becomes the new president. Attorney General James Speed was embarrassed: "What power do they have to form a new government, what power do they have to elect a new president, they are violating, it will make the Union fall into more embarrassment, and even divide again, trample on the laws of the Union, I will never allow it, Mr. Lincoln, let us surrender to the South, now end the war, allow the retention of slavery rights in the South, and our United States of America will still be intact." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! James was right! It would be better for the North and the South to have a complete truce, and we could allow the South to retain slavery. ”

When many people heard that New York had set up a new government, they panicked.

I scolded the New York mongrels in my heart, these bastards are doing this because they want to kill them!

The new government really needs to get the consent of the majority of the states, and the original cabinet members like them, the members of the House of Representatives are still a ball, and they are still worth a p.

After a long time, Lincoln finally spoke, and he only said: "Edwood, you go to Robert = General Lee, and say that I agree to keep slaves in the South, but the alliance must be canceled, there is only one United States, and it must not be divided." ”

Lincoln finally made another compromise and relented, and then the vice president, the secretary of state, and the cabinet secretaries also said that it was acceptable to keep the slaves, but not to allow the Union to exist, and the country must remain intact.

"It's late!" Robert Lee said very tactfully: "If we heard this condition two months ago, we would have excitedly agreed, but now it's too late, we must be independent in the south, otherwise Mr. Davis, the president of Raleigh City, will not agree, and the southern soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed will not agree. ”

"But the General! President Lincoln has made a huge concession, you must know that the abolition of slavery is what he declared, and now for the sake of real peace between the North and the South, he will break his promise with his own hands and swallow the curse of the devil, you know, he will be spurned by everyone in the Union if he does this, but he still chooses to do it, you can't. "I have to say that Ed Wood is an orator, he speaks eloquently and is very contagious.

However, as a soldier, he has his own principles, even if the principles are wrong, he must abide by them, otherwise it will not be him Robert = Lee, I saw him say: "I'm sorry, I know that only one of our sides wins, no matter which side loses the war, it will be embarrassing, but I have to tell you one more news, just now Special Envoy Yang has captured New York State and captured hundreds of guys who are preparing to form a new federal government, so no one can stop the Union Army from sweeping the eastern states, and you have almost no capital to negotiate, If you don't want to lose too ugly, quickly surrender unconditionally and sign an agreement. ”

"What?"

"You're saying it again!" Yang Dongfang picked up a tall and thin curly hair in front of him and threatened: "If you dare to lie to me, I will break you into pieces." ”

The thin and tall curly hair trembled and replied: "What I said is true, the Queen of England really gave a speech in London Square, and joined forces with France to make another expedition to the East, this time with at least 40,000 troops, what I said is true, please let me go, I don't want to stay in New York anymore, it's going to be hell here, damn the Irish." ”

"Damn the British, you're fine, waiting to clean you up sooner or later?" Seeing that this businessman had half a lie, Yang Dongfang chose to believe it, waved his hand and asked people to take him away, allowing him to take away his wealth, and then he thought calmly alone.

After a long time, Yang Dongfang spit out a sentence and said to the eight gates and sixteen guards: "The war in the Americas must end within half a month, and we will go home." ”

"Come, inform the troops, immediately advance along the railway line to Connecticut, and within half a month, you must sweep the eastern and northern states, and grab as many as you can, and destroy everything that can't be grabbed."

After sending the herald of the Southern Army, Yang Dongfang immediately wrote a letter and sent the situation to all parts of the country, which contained his orders to all ministries to end the war in the United States as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also urged the domestic troops to speed up the speed to end the war in various places.

Guangzhou!

Liu Yongfu, who received the order, immediately called people over: "Immediately transfer the 6th Regiment to Taipingxu (Humen), arrange for manpower to repair the forts on Weiyuan Island, as well as the forts in Baisha, and the coastal defense in Nansha and other places, notify Liang Peiyou's sailors, transport the cannons over, the British ghosts and the French ghosts will soon come to attack us, do a good job of protection work in various places, and the ghosts will beat them with shore defense artillery if they dare to come." Tell them it's not the same time. ”

"Yes! Commander! If the ghosts dare to come, they must be allowed to die at the mouth of the Pearl River. ”

With the arrival of the emergency order, there were many generals in the key places along the coast of Guangdong, and the main regiments rushed to the past, and soon the coastal defense troops in Guangzhou Bay, Qinzhou Bay, and other places stepped up training and built more hidden batteries.

"However, I'm afraid that the target of the ghosts will not be here?" Liu Yongfu arranged everything in an orderly manner, didn't the Anglo-French alliance attack on Guangzhou not succeed that year? Lin Zexu's example is in front of him, and with more powerful shore defense artillery, as well as a well-prepared main force and a large number of security regiments and engineers, Liu Yongfu is not worried about himself here.
