Zhu Jishi shook his head, took Maria's words, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, the problems that the United States is encountering now are also in my Daming. In fact, the accumulation of industrial development in my Ming Dynasty also comes from agriculture, such as rubber, palm oil, and various spices in Lanfang, raw silk and tea in the south of the Yangtze River, Coptis chinensis in Sichuan, and grain in the Northeast are the cornerstones of my Ming industrialization. Hundreds of millions of peasants who worked day and night in their hometowns, as well as thousands of peasants who left their hometowns to go to the border areas to reclaim land and work in the cities, were also the stepping stones for the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty. To put it mildly, the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty was built on the blood and tears of the peasants! And I, the Ming farmers, are suffering far more than those farmers in the American South.

However, the peasants of our Ming Dynasty will not rise up because of these sufferings, because they can endure them. is suffering for the peace of the world and for the hegemony of my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years! This is the heritage of my China for thousands of years, and my people know the truth of forbearance for the country. It is never possible for a country to be exhaustive and to benefit and satisfy everyone. Therefore, someone must be sacrificed, and only in this way can the country survive and develop. But those Americans don't know this truth now, and these mobs only know how to use foreign guns in their hands to resist the oppressive federal government! The country is not yet mature, and this is our only chance to nip a future world empire in the bud! Once this opportunity is missed, those mobs with guns will mature. They will know when to tolerate each other and when not to compromise. Only then will the United States truly become a powerful nation. ”

Emperor Zhu's words were a little emotional, but they were also true. Americans are still very immature. Not knowing how to use the weapons in their hands. Nor do they think they need a strong country - and industry is the foundation of a strong country. So agriculture can only be sacrificed temporarily.

These words are a bit profound, but they are very simple to Shi Dakai -- the current problem in the United States is like that of the plantation owners of Lanfang, the collective farm farmers in the northeast are not willing to sell raw rubber, palm oil, and grain to those large companies supported by the state at low prices, but want to directly sell them internationally at high prices, and even do not hesitate to take out weapons against the imperial court! And the imperial court of the United States does not have an invincible army of 1 million, so chaos is inevitable!

"The emperor is going to send troops to the United States. Help their South against the Union? Shi Dakai asked thoughtfully.

Zhu Jishi shook his head and turned his gaze to Zeng Guoquan and Guo Songtao, "Zeng Qing, Guo Qing, let's talk about the reaction of France and Britain in this regard." ”

Guo Songtao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the governments of Britain and France have issued statements one after another, strongly condemning the human rights issue of black people in the United States, referring to the Texas Black Free Zone as an extermination zone for the extermination of black Americans, and saying that the US government is now pursuing a policy of genocide, which is a horrendous crime. A joint international fact-finding mission to Texas is also being prepared. Obviously very enthusiastic! ”

Zeng Guoquan also smiled: "This time. European newspapers are also vigorously smearing, revealing all kinds of sensational shady scenes. What is the famine in the black area, and there are already people cannibalism! It is also said that the famine in the black area was entirely caused by white Americans, and that the wheat seeds they gave to blacks were boiled in boiling water and would not germinate at all. There have also been reports that white Americans deliberately sell guns and ammunition to black neighborhoods for black people to kill each other, and there are also reports that white Americans sell opium to blacks and lure them into it, causing millions of people to become addicted...... In short, all kinds of sewage are poured on the Americans, and they are almost making the United States stink. ”

"Stink? Why is that? Shi Dakai was a little puzzled. Could it be that Britain and France want to find an excuse to go to war with the United States? ”

Zhu Jishi smiled and waved his hand: "They are exerting public opinion pressure on the United States to force the United States to solve the human rights problem of black people." ”

When he said this, his face was a little gloating, because in later generations, the United States would talk about the human rights of other countries all day long.

"If the United States is a truly united power, such public opinion pressure is of no use at all, and no major country will collapse because of the condemnation of others, unless there are huge differences of opinion at home, and these external condemnations and pressures are the last straw that breaks the camel's back!"

When Zhu Jishi said this, he looked at Maria with some pride. Clementina glanced at it, her contribution this time is really not small, although it is a matter of time before Britain and France use public opinion to smear the United States, but without her to light a fire, maybe it can be delayed for a while. In particular, the idea of instructing Utah and Mormons to come up with tariffs to help blacks is brilliant. Now the factory owners in the northern United States finally have a high-sounding excuse to raise tariffs -- that's $2 billion! Even if it is raised over 10 years, it will cost $200 million a year, which is almost a 400% increase in US tariffs, from an average tax rate of 15% to 75%! This almost means that the United States withdraws from the "Five-Power Agreement" and other countries impose correspondingly high tariffs on the United States, which will constitute a fatal blow to the cotton and tobacco exports of the southern United States. It's no wonder that those gun-wielding farmers in the South don't jump!

In fact, after Utah proposed this "bastard plan" (later historians commented that Brigham Young and Utah politicians were inexperienced and eager to save blacks from the dire situation), representatives of the southern states of the United States immediately threw out a "poll tax plan" to share the $2 billion in expenditures among all American citizens (including state citizens). The United States now has a population of 33 million, and excluding blacks and other residents without citizenship, at least 25 million people can share the $2 billion, with an average tax of $80 per person. Of course, this tax can also be levied by the states in other names, in short, it should be shared equally between the north and the south. Of course, the northern states of the United States will not agree, so the current US Congress is about to become the Taiwan Legislative Yuan of the future, and the north and south congressmen are pinching each other all day long, and many radical southern congressmen have even shouted the slogan of withdrawing from the federation!

"In short, there is no doubt that there will be a war between the North and the South of the United States." Zhu Jishi took a breath with joy on his face, looked at Shi Dakai and said, "And your task is to lead a military advisory group to the United States to help train and organize the army in the southern part of the United States." Although the United States has many outstanding soldiers, they have not participated in a truly tragic war. Not to mention how wars were fought in the era of barbed wire and rear-loading guns, your mission is to teach them the latest tactics in the shortest possible time. If possible, they can also help the American South to raise a Chinese army. If the Ming army directly intervenes in the American Civil War in the future, you are the commander of the Ming army participating in the war. ”

Now it is certain that the United States will definitely fight a civil war, and the Ming will definitely intervene, but it is difficult to say when the Ming army can directly set foot on the North American continent. Now Britain and France have reservations about the entry of the Ming army into North America. Her Majesty, the Empress of Mexico, also refused to allow the Ming army to enter her country - this woman is now dancing on the eggs of Britain, the United States, France, and the Ming Dynasty, and she actually dances well.

In addition, it is difficult to say the position of Utah and California in the western United States in the Civil War, and although it is impossible to support the North, the possibility of external neutrality still exists. If that is the case, it is still a question of how the Ming army will enter North America.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi waved his hand: "Dare to be, that's probably the way things are!" During this time, you will stay in Nanjing, go to the Army University to study English, and by the way, study the terrain of the United States, and oh, there are some new weapons that you also need to learn about. In recent years, European technology has advanced extremely rapidly, and there have been great advances in artillery and firearms. A number of new weapons have been developed, and although they have not yet been equipped with the Ming army, they will definitely be used in the current American Civil War. (To be continued......)
