After that, President Lincoln also sent several telegrams, one hoping to improve relations, and the other hoping that the government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom would stop aiding the Southern rebel army.

Luo Yang studied the contents of these documents, convened officials to discuss, and resolutely rejected Lincoln's request.

Luo Yang was very excited, because his opponent turned out to be the world's famous Lincoln, one of the great men of the United States.

President Lincoln's life is a legendary life, quite encouraging ambition, from the unlucky man who failed after failure to the president of a big country, can be called a classic bull.

Some worshipping Luo Yang is also very strange why China's founding leader has been abused by many guys, while a president of the United States with obvious shortcomings is brilliant.

Lincoln savagely supported the massacre and oppression of the Indians, and supported Sherman and General Grant, etc., to carry out the barbaric conquest of the South, such a serious sense of racial discrimination and extermination, as well as the criminal march of war, was actually not condemned, only the Southerners lamented "Gone with the Wind" lamented their own miserable world,

has rich experience and superb natural struggle methods, so Luo Yang definitely does not dare to underestimate this, but his attitude must be resolute.

"All the great powers, foreign capitalist countries are paper tigers." Luo Yang sneered: "The United States took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese civil war in China, and teamed up with Britain, France and other countries to force the late Qing to sign the "Tianjin Treaty" and "Beijing Treaty". ”

Luo Yang decided to raise the relationship with the United States to the level of war, unless the United States directly made concessions, this fierce line of thought, so that many officials were frightened, for this reason, Luo Yang adjusted the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and transferred in several generals of the former Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As soon as these people arrived, they suggested to Luo Yang with the pride unique to soldiers that they declare war on the United States and teach the Yankees a lesson with their sabers.

For example, Chen Kunshu, Wang Haiyang and other generals,

Luo Yang did not agree, but continued to deal with President Lincoln, through the intermediary of the British minister, told the great man of the United States, "Huaxia Tian** did not aid the South, that is a volunteer, has nothing to do with the country, in fact, it is some dissidents who do not support the kingdom of heaven, and their east to the Richmond government territory, but escape, as for the negotiations, I first hope that your president will recognize the fait accompli, unconditionally abolish the old treaty between the two countries, and then sign a new treaty." ”

More than a dozen telegrams were exchanged, but no problem was resolved, relations between the two countries were deadlocked, about 200 American missionaries, deported, all churches, personal property, etc., were frozen and banned, almost in the form of refugees, more than 300 American businessmen, left the ports of Shanghai and Tianjin,

During this period, the frozen U.S. property in China was worth about three million or more silver dollars, not including those churches.

In the text of the telegram, Luo Yang showed a combative and tough image role, repeatedly demanding that the United States immediately give up the privileges of unequal treaties and conclude a new fair treaty.

Lincoln refused, and at the same time threatened that once the United States ended the civil war and put down the rebellion, it would retaliate against the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

Luo Yang was very happy, he wished that the Americans would be angry, now, it is the time when the Americans are the weakest, falling in the water, if they don't fight at this time, let alone when,

In the telegram, Luo Yang kept making a lot of demands, which stimulated the nerves of the Americans, and Lin Keng's demand for the repayment of all the real estate of the church and the return of the merchants' finances was refused.

"Give up your privileges at once."

The Americans did not give up and continued to release cruel words, "All questions are in the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, and you must give up your erroneous and barbaric thoughts." ”

"If the United States does not abandon its hostile attitude towards the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, then the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has the right to go more intensely, in the form it deems necessary." This is a certain paragraph of Luo Yang's original words,

The diplomatic war of words between the two countries was so frustrated that even the British minister, a media figure, was bored, and at first, he was still mixing with each other, advising the two governments to calm down, but later, he simply ignored it.

In September 1864, the U.S. government officially notified the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom Government that the U.S. Government had taken retaliatory measures in view of the attitude of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and wanted to expel all Chinese in the United States, including all Chinese laborers and overseas Chinese, and confiscate their property.

Luo Yang only had two sentences, "Please, they have become American citizens, belong to the internal affairs of the United States, uphold the principle of sovereignty, and I do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Americans." ”

At that time, there were very few Chinese people living in the United States, mainly hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers, and the United States willingly sent them back.

President Lincoln sent a new document pointing out that the hostile policy of the Chinese Celestial Government and the strategy of sending troops to reinforce the South had aroused the anger of all the American people, so that many people had begun to expel the Chinese workers without the government's instructions.

Luo Yang replied: "Whatever, we only manage the people within our borders, we oppose the colonialists, do not interfere more, if you are familiar with the internal turmoil in your country, you can take a few more photos, send them to China, and give us a view." ”

Many diplomats were worried, believing that they should accept the US government's demands, and Hong Renji said: "China only expels Citi nationals, but he wants to blackmail hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals. ”

Chen Kunshu suggested that some officers and soldiers should be sent to the United States to infiltrate the United States, organize those Chinese workers, and drive out the American devils.

The United States has indeed grasped the key point, but Luo Yang persevered, no, the Americans treat their nationals and have nothing to do with our country, they are Chinese workers, not in our country, but go to the United States to work, and we do not support it.

"King Rui, don't you really care about them, after all, they are the descendants of Yan Huang." Many officials, true or not, sighed,

"Ladies and gentlemen, the more we are afraid, the more the Americans will grasp our handle." Luo Yang explained, at the same time, the story of Liu Bang Xiang Yu was told, and everyone suddenly realized, "Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang's father and was going to cook him to eat meat, do you know how Liu Bang told it." ”

The protracted war in relations between the two countries has rapidly fatigued the international community, and China has repeatedly rejected any negotiating attempts by the United States government, thereby de facto abrogating all unequal treaties between the United States and China.

For the United States, Luo Yang hates vigilance more than positive views, because the United States has been hostile to China for a long time, which is a short-lived alliance in World War II, but it cannot hide the narrow national egoism of sending a large amount of oil, steel and other military strategic materials to Japan before.

Luo Yang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't declare war on the United States, mainly because he was afraid of the overall strategy, but he was afraid that before it developed, he would encounter a big encirclement and attack by the great powers.

After the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the first diplomatic task of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom government was to declare that it would recognize all old international relations and guarantee international interests.

Of course, this is expedient,
