Mathilde I's reasoning came out, not to mention Wu Chunqiu and Rong Hong, even if Zhu Jishi came to the United States in person, there was nothing to say. How come the Duke of Bonapart, who has the noble blood of three dynasties in his veins, is the biological son of Emperor Zhu, if you don't get him a possessions, can you still let the mother-in-law Mathilde I give his precious son a whole crown?

Therefore, as soon as the hole cards were spread, Wu Chunqiu and Rong Hong could only ask Mathilde I what help he needed from Da Ming and Da Ming - of course, to help invade Ecuador. However, Mathilde was easy to talk to, did not cry and ask Zhu Jishi to be responsible, and confidently told the two Chinese guests that with the help of the Mexican Foreign Legion (transferred from the French Foreign Legion) and Admiral Denave, Mexico had enough strength to defeat the enemy in Ecuador. So I don't need any official help from Daming...... However, I would not object to the Ming or Japanese soldiers who participated in the war against Russia joining the Mexican Foreign Legion in their personal capacity.

It turned out that they still had to help, Wu Chunqiu and Rong Hong knew that this was what Mathilde I asked them to bring to Zhu Jishi! Emperor Zhu's Japanese mercenaries had to travel thousands of miles to Central America to help the Mexican Empress fight...... Wu Chunqiu bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I will soon return to China to report on my work, and I will ask the Ming Emperor to allow his Japanese retainers to travel to the Americas to serve you...... There are a lot of very good fighters among them, and you can trust them to your heart's content. ”

The Empress nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, please tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I look forward to seeing him again, in the Kingdom of Hawaii or somewhere else." ”

The Kingdom of Hawaii is now under the trusteeship of China, Britain and France, but the successor to the king has been confirmed to be Zhu Jishi's eldest son, Zhu Guojie. Of course, Zhu Guojie is not the only monarch, Princess Helena of the United Kingdom will be the queen of this Pacific island country, and she is also Zhu Guojie's wife. Other than that. The two will also jointly own a 5o% stake in the Hong Kong Island Territory and Jason Holdings. Although most of the married life of the two will not be spent in Hawaii, the enthronement ceremony and wedding will still be held in Hawaii. Zhu Jishi will definitely go to Hawaii to support his eldest son, and Mathilde I now wants to be invited. Go to Hawaii to meet your lover and discuss something important in person.

That's the point. There was already music outside, and it looked like the dance had begun. Wu Chunqiu and Rong Hong also knew that today's conversation was over, so they both said goodbye and left, preparing to go to the dance hall to find a foreign girl to dance. However, as soon as they went downstairs, they saw the embassy secretary who accompanied them at the staircase with an anxious face. "Mr. Ambassador, Zeng Ke is gone."

"What? Who's missing? Wu Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Zeng Ke was a black servant of the embassy, and he was taken with him when he went out today--Virginia is a slave state. Although most of Virginia's black slaves were freed, there were still some domestic slaves who served their masters, and most of the wealthy people in the state and the American South were accustomed to serving them. Moreover, in many cases, taking a black slave out of the house is a face-saving thing. So Wu Chunqiu often took this Zeng Ke, who was actually not a black slave, out to show off, but he actually lost it.

"A black servant, if you don't see it, you're gone." Wu Chunqiu waved his hand, and didn't seem to take it seriously.

After walking a few steps, he said to the secretary again, "By the way, you should go back and see if the embassy has lost anything." If you have lost any valuable property, you can go to the police station and report it, and forget if you don't have it. He shook his head and sighed, what about these black people...... Hands and feet are always unclean. Don't worry about using it, let's use your own people in the future!

Just when Wu Chunqiu suspected that the black man Zeng Ke had stolen something and fled, this lazy but honest black man who would never steal was walking hurriedly along the streets of Alexandria.

Alexandria is a small town in northern Virginia, just across the river from Washington. Empress Mathilde's estate is just north of the town. Zengk had been to the town several times and knew that Alexandria was served by a train station, and that he could get to Atlanta on the train...... The kind and generous hostess she had before lived in Atlanta now, and if she went back, she would be willing to let herself continue to be a slave. Although she had rented the farm to some yellow-skinned monkeys, Zeng Ke hated Chinese farmers the most. I always call them that in my heart!

"If it weren't for these yellow-skinned monkeys, I would still be a happy slave!" Zengke's mind was reminded of the old days when he was a slave - enough bread. There is meat for every meal, and there is fruit to eat every day. Even the money is making more than it is now......

"Nope! I'm not a free man, I'm a slave! I really am a slave......" The miserable cry suddenly rang in Zenk's ears, pulling him out of his fantasies. When he looked up, he saw several white militiamen (Virginia militiamen) with rifles and ropes driving a ragged black man into a carriage with a cage in it.

"Oh God! For God's sake, I'm really a slave! I'm a slave to the Scopel family......"

A white militiaman picked up the butt of his rifle and knocked it on the black man: "Nonsense! Mr. Scorpel had already sold the estate to the Empress of Mexico, and all the slaves were freed, so ...... You are a free man! ”

"No, I don't want to be free, I want to be a slave! Okay, I'll make me a slave! The black man burst into tears and called out to some of the white women passing by, and a young woman in her twenties stopped and looked at the black man with some sympathy—really sympathy, not an attempt to enslave him!

"Madam, please get out of here, it's none of your business!" A Virginia militiaman shouted, "Know that the evil system of slavery is soon to be a thing of the past, and there should be no slaves left in American soil!" ”

Uh, this militia is still an abolitionist!

"No, if you want slaves, how can America be without slaves? It's unfair......" protested loudly from the blacks who had already been herded into the wagon. It is clear that he was a "slave breeder".

The young woman hesitated, but left. For a wealthy farmer like her, keeping an extra black slave wasn't a problem, but she really didn't want to get into trouble. Abolitionist activity in Virginia is now rampant. Many of the farmers who still kept black slaves were intimidated by them and demanded that they release their slaves...... Well, no, it's to give the slaves to them, and then they are freed to the "Negro Temporary Settlement" in Texas -- it's a very wonderful place, and it's a "temporary resettlement," but the blacks have nowhere to go until the states of the North and South of the United States come up with a result for the repatriation of blacks.

And incidentally, with these nearly 4oo black people, there is another problem, that is, the question of the representation of the slave states in the South of the United States in Congress! If these 4oo black people were indeed repatriated, the southern states of the United States would immediately lose a large chunk of their representation. Because these blacks vote on the basis of three-fifths of the whites -- although they cannot vote, this share determines the balance of power between the North and the South in the US Congress.

So, although these blacks were taken to "temporary settlements," the ownership of the temporary settlements did not belong to Texas but to all the slave states. This will ensure that the representation of the slave states in Congress will not change! What an American-style democracy!

In the makeshift settlement, a black man was given only one acre of land, a small wooden house, a blanket, a few pieces of furniture, enough wheat for 12 months, and ...... Freely! They were free to roam freely in the black temporary settlements, to farm freely, to harvest freely, and most likely to starve freely.

"There's another one there!"

Just as Zengk was watching his black brother run for freedom with his mouth wide open, a Virginia militiaman appeared to him, and several strong men with rifles approached him.

"No, no, no...... I'm a slave! Zeng Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, of course he knew what the consequences of being captured by these white militiamen were!
