Chapter 119: Say, where did you kid hide the warship that the imperial army prepared for me?

Zhu Fugui took the newspaper upside down and read it three or four times, only to be sure that the Qing Dynasty and the United States did not contradict each other in the newspaper, and it was indeed the Qing Dynasty interfering in the internal affairs of the United States.

Moreover, in this piece of news, which does not occupy much space, it is also written implicitly that the US government believes that the Qing royal family directly intervened in the civil war between the north and the south, and the nature is very bad.

But as far as Zhu Fugui knows, the current puppet Qing Emperor Tongzhi is a 7-year-old ghost.

And with the fact that he hiccups at the age of 19, most of the time he is still a sick little ghost.

This kind of imp is not Zhu Fugui bragging, if the Ming and Qing emperors go head-to-head in the ring, he can fight ten!

As for those who listened to the government, the 30-year-old Empress Dowager Ci'an and the 27-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi ......

Zhu Fugui is not modest, his wife can beat them twenty!

Speaking of which, Ci'an, the woman Zhu Fugui didn't know very well, anyway, she didn't look like a person with skills, and later died violently for no apparent reason.

Although Cixi has an old and spicy wrist, her skill points seem to be added to infighting and power skills.

If it weren't for this long-sleeved old woman who was good at dancing, even if "I Daqing" could survive the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, most of them would not have the so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing.

can stabilize Zeng Zuo and other strong feudal domains, Cixi is, to a certain extent, a qualified feudal tumor.

The so-called cancer is a cancerous tumor on the boss's body.

If you keep it, your body won't die at least instantly.

If it is forcibly removed and broken, the already decaying body may collapse in an instant.

It can be said that if there was no Cixi, it is not known that the ancestral tomb of "my Great Qing" was dug up by the Han literati landlords with strong arms.

But even Cixi's ultimate strengthened version of Long Aotian Supreme, Emperor Wu Zetian, as a female emperor, is inevitably full of internal affairs and sparse external wars.

Zhu Fugui really didn't think that Cixi could have any insight and courage to intervene in the American Civil War.

Then the only possible suspect is Prince Gong.

As Xianfeng's sixth brother, Yi is also a pseudo-Qing royal family in a broad sense.

This person can be regarded as a somewhat capable one of the late Qing royal families.

At least it's better than his dead brother who only patches his clothes to show frugality, but has no means to govern the country.

This prince, known as the sixth devil, although he has a loss, is quite smart, and relies on Hanchen, knows some foreign affairs, and is a rare enlightened person.

But Yi's cleverness is just a little cleverness.

"Beauty is beautiful, but it is not a heavy weapon that respects Yi, and it is not enough to suppress hundreds of bureaucrats."

Zeng Guofan's staff Zhao Liewen's comments can be regarded as a portrayal of his life.

Originally, Zhu Fugui recognized the records of the history books.

However, now it seems that Zhu Fugui feels that if Yi really intervenes in the American Civil War, this courage is seriously underestimated by the history books.

It's just that this product seems to have bet on the wrong treasure and pressed it on the heads of the southerners?

Zhu Fugui frowned, shouldn't this Yi be making the same calculation as himself?

I just don't know what means he used, and it is not detailed in this news.

Zhu Fugui couldn't help but think of the thousands of kilograms of "long fat king" that he had just shipped to his old friend Robert Lee some time ago.

Hopefully, these pig feeds, which are supplemented with a variety of trace elements, vitamins, synthetic amino acids, and some drugs that promote absorption and enhance appetite, can help the poor, hungry and cold southern rednecks survive this cold winter.

Seriously, what is internationalism?

This is internationalism!

Zhu Fugui dares to guarantee that in addition to some added veterinary drugs, these red necks must be more comprehensive in nutrition than most of the people under the rule of "I Daqing".

Besides, when the pig king Zhu was negotiating with [Hunan Ruier Feed Co., Ltd.], he specially asked them to provide the fastest feed varieties to ensure that the red-necked brothers were full, well-fed, fat and strong, and shocked Maryland.

In fact, taking 10,000 steps back, Zhu Fugui remembered that even in later generations, various veterinary hormones such as clenbuterol were allowed to be used legally in the Yankees' own domestic agricultural production.

Anyway, they don't cherish their bodies and don't pay attention to food safety, so Zhu Fugui doesn't have any psychological burden.

Daming traveled thousands of miles to save the southern government from pig feed, and I don't know what the Qing Dynasty sent.

Thinking that the red necks in the south actually received the double blessings of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty at the same time, Zhu Fugui was very moved.

This double happiness will surely allow the southerners to stand up and fight the Lincoln gang for another fifty years, right?

Due to insufficient intelligence, Zhu Fugui's research and judgment on the first piece of news can only go so far.

What really interested him was the news that appeared in another obscure corner of the newspaper.

[The Japanese government's diplomatic team visiting the United States has been missing for 33 days]

In this news, the U.S. Northern Union Navy was outraged by the fact that it had been teased by the Japanese side.

According to the previous agreement, the U.S. federal government would provide Japan with two steam-powered gunboats, Shiraro Maru and Chiyo, in order to jointly deal with the Righteous faction of the Choshu Domain (i.e., the radicals who advocated all-out war with the Great Powers), especially Inoue Bunta, Takasugi Shinsaku and others, who were close to the British.

It was also responsible for training sailors for the gunboats involved in Japan.

Although these were only two small gunboats with four guns, they were also an important and important naval military force in the Far East.

In fact, the shipbuilding industry of the Americans in this era was quite good, although it could not be compared with the United Kingdom, but it was also the world's major shipbuilding country.

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, built in 1814, was one of the world's first steam-powered warships.

In 1834~1838, a large number of iron-hulled ships with steam engines were built in Washington Naval Shipyard, Boston Naval Shipyard, Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Norfolk Naval Shipyard and other places, and even exported to Europe.

In 1842, the United States built the USS Michi, the first iron-hulled warship in the Western Hemisphere. The following year, the "Water Witch" was the first warship to use a propeller.

By early 1862, the cruiser USS Watcher was launched at Cape Brooklyn, and it was this ship that forced the Southern government to pay a high price to buy ironclad ships from British Daddy to compete.

So on the whole, while the North is at war with the South, the United States has shrunk the speed of westward expansion, but its own industrial development has not slowed down, and has even accelerated.

So the sale of two small gunboats to Japan was quite symbolic for the Lincoln administration, a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.

First, it will break the monopoly of British and French weapons in the Far East and further expand the influence of the United States in Japan since the Black Ship Incident;

second, to make a small profit on military spending and subsidize the navy;

The third is to show the legitimacy of the northern federal government, which is also a deterrent to the Qing court when the southerners and the Qing state are ambiguous.

However, the delay in the Japanese delegation made the Federal Navy shut down and prepared to let the Wyoming gunboat go to Tokyo Bay again to talk to Admiral Tokugawa.

Seeing this, Zhu Fugui patted the dragon chair, and sure enough, the little devil who looked like Boruto Sakai was not a thing, and secretly hid his hand.

If it weren't for the habit of reading newspapers, I wouldn't know that Daming still has two warships waiting to be received in New York Harbor!

How unreasonable!

Zhu Fugui immediately decided to summon those Japanese, and was ready to ask them where they had hidden the warship that the imperial army had prepared for him!
