Chapter 38: More Doubts (Part II)

For a certain period of time in later generations, the historians of this planet, whether it was a Taiping country or a capitalist country, when studying this period of the history of the United States of America, all gave the United States of the North during the Civil War a layer of justice to the slogan of "emancipation of black slaves".

Because opposing physical oppression, emancipating slaves, and enabling people to treat everyone the same regardless of skin color, is in itself a politically correct thing.

But really at the beginning of the Civil War, must the free blacks in the North in this era be better off than the black slaves in the South?

At least in the eyes of the top executives of the Taiping Society, who "invented" the radio, telegraph, and radio stations, and secretly controlled some of the media industries in the north and south of the United States, the lives of the majority of free blacks in the North were not necessarily well lived by black slaves!

Although the blacks of the North were nominally free, the vast majority did not have any serious work.

Even if they do, they are actually doing some low-level jobs in industrial manufacturing, with high risk and low pay, and there is no 8-hour work system in these years, and there is no medical, pension and other insurance, which can easily lead to disability and illness, and then tragedy for a lifetime.

Moreover, if there is an economic shock, it is these free blacks who are the first to be fired and given up by the business owners.

There is no guarantee of unemployment among this group, and after having nothing, the crime rate is rising because of poverty, and the situation of having no permanent home, rags, and no food is the general condition of the free black community in the North.

Although the black slaves in the south did not have the so-called freedom, and the heavy work they undertook, it was not inferior to the black people in the north who went to work in the factories.

But with the exception of a very small number of slave owners who were genuinely distorted and took pleasure in abusing black slaves, most of the manor owners, because the black slaves were their property, and they needed to do heavy manual farm work, at least in terms of providing the black people with enough food, clothes to wear, and a place to live, they were so high that they did not know where to go.

Even in terms of medical treatment, when there is an epidemic or disease, the lords of the southern manors will specially invite doctors to prevent and treat it. After all, it is

Your own property! If you can save one, you can't infect other property.

But in the North, those factory owners directly close the door, and the hospital has no money to let you get out, anyway, the black community and the white community are separated, and the diameter is comparable to a natural isolation zone, and it can't be transmitted to the white people, and as for the number of blacks who die in the majority, it is just a number in the newspaper that can be modified.

"The contradictions of slavery were only one of the secondary reasons for the occurrence of this civil war between the North and the South."

"And the real main reason is that in the analysis report of the Central Committee of the Taiping Society, it has been mentioned in the 'Progress Class' of the Taiping Society in the past few months."

"It is the development contradiction between the northern industrial route of the United States of America and the southern agricultural route!"

Hong Tiangui put the information in his hand on the table and continued to all the comrades of the Taiping Society's Internal Affairs Department present.

"Aren't there still countless so-called free black reservists sold from Feizhou as construction workers at construction sites in the north now?"

"If they can build buildings, they can't build railways?"

"As long as you sign a contract with a food appearance, not a slave contract, it's fine."

"Most white citizens don't care if the terms of the contract are harsh or not!"

As Hong Tiangui said, the current situation between the north and the south, if you simply introduce black slaves, you can't say that it has no impact at all, but as long as the food looks good, the employment is nominally better than the slavery system in the south.

Such a small price is not at all the reason why those shipping companies pay huge losses and risk that nearly half of the transport ships will be robbed by the Taiping Society, and they have to transport railway yellow slaves from the vast land of Shenzhou!

"Still, you're doing your best!"

In the torture records, Hong Tiangui did see the various methods of the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they tried methods such as separate interrogation of the two extraordinary species, random questioning when they were extremely tired, and so on.

"Comrade President."

Hong Tiangui's words made the faces of the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs present solemn, and Li Gu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even opened his mouth to add.

"On a deeper level, we did interrogate two transcendents repeatedly."

"But every time they answer, they only understand the answer above."

"We in the Ministry of Internal Affairs suspect that with their identity, they may not know the inside story at all!"

In the torture records, the blood clan and werewolves captured by Hong Tiangui were newly promoted in the past 3-5 years, and they can be regarded as very, very "young" transcendent species.

And the seniors of these two transcendent bloodlines, after explaining the matter, went directly to the blood court of the blood clan and the ancestral land of the werewolf to sleep, and the alchemy plan of the land railway began to be laid out decades ago, they did not know the details and key points, and only knew that if it was implemented, it would be understandable.

"Hmm."

"So, do you put your next goal on Viscount Abbey?"

Hong Tiangui looked at Li Gu and asked the Minister of Internal Affairs, whom he trusted the most.

The viscount-level blood clan Aibi was confided in by the two transcendent races who were captured, their top boss.

It is also one of the strongest dark transcendents in the United States of America that has not fallen asleep in definitive activity.

From the torture records that Hong Tiangui had just checked, it was shown that the ability of the viscount-level blood clan was almost as high as the "Qi Cultivation Realm" of the Divine Vast Land, and in the Taiping Society, it might only be one layer weaker than Hong Tiangui, the existence of the peak of Qi Cultivation.

"Yes, President."

The middle-aged uncle Li Gu seemed to have a draft, and after hearing Hong Tiangui's question, he immediately replied.

"Please come here, in addition to reporting to you the information we have obtained as soon as possible."

"It's to apply for 4 high-level Taiping monks who practice qi realm."

"Accompany me and the elite team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Singleston and capture Viscount Abbey!"

The existence of the Qi Cultivation Realm is not uncommon in today's Taiping Society, but most of them are just beginners or low-level existences.

There are only a few high-level Qi Cultivation Realm Taiping cultivators, most of them are Daoist soldiers and guards arranged by Hong Xiuquan to his descendant Hong Tiangui back then, and it is necessary to directly mobilize such a force, even with Li Gu's old qualification and ministerial authority in the Taiping Society, it is completely impossible to do it.

To be precise, the members who have been able to cultivate to the Qi Realm in the past few years are all true believers in Taipingism, and they are all existences with a high status in the Taiping Society, and only the orders personally issued by President Hong Tiangui in the "Taiping Aura Network" can be recognized and obeyed by these people.

Therefore, Li Gu could only apply to Hong Tiangui in person.

"I asked Hong Jia to come to Jia Qi to help you!"

"Please do your best and do your best to succeed!"

To deal with transcendentals, it is not the more the better, in order to be on the safe side, Hong Tiangui simply ordered a one-time order and sent seven high-level guards of the Qi Cultivation Realm to participate in Li Gu's operation.

The North and South of America have declared war, and a real large-scale war will definitely break out in half a year.

And among the information leaked by the two transcendents, when the military soul appeared after the large-scale bloody battle, it was when the land alchemy array was activated.

Why do you have to ask the "yellow slaves" in the east to build the railway?

Even, what did those high-ranking members of the dark transcendent race do after completing the so-called "final plan" and getting the Philosopher's Stone?

Old doubts have been partially answered, but new, more doubts have reappeared.

Walking out of the area where the Ministry of Internal Affairs was located, Hong Tiangui looked at the still dazzling sun in the sky, and only felt that a stream of confusion was piling up in his heart.

Time may be running out for them to find out the truth

Using a simple illusion of light and shadow, half of his face was hazy, and he walked towards the business district, ready to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then went to see Miss Lin Miaoshan, who was still recuperating in the Taiping First People's Hospital.
