Just when Zhu Fugui returned to the western part of North America like lightning, Millican had become a four-point situation, and basically no one was entangled in the lost territory in the west.

This kind of thing will be quite unbelievable in the eyes of any American, or China, in the future.

But in fact, one only needs to look at the map of North America in the 1830s, less than half a century before Zhu Fugui split North America, to understand why this happened.

(See this paragraph for the map).

It's not my own thing in the first place, I didn't cover the heat in my hand, and the core was not built well, so it's not a pity to lose it.

Compared with the evil neighbor of the Ming Dynasty in the west, and the Lone Star Republic in the southwest, the three political entities in the east formed the state of Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, and Southern Chen. (See this paragraph for the map, please ignore the text below)

From the map, it seems that Daming does not share a border with the Confederate government at all, but in fact, Daming's railroad has extended to Tennessee, connecting with the Southern government's rail network.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, railways were land and railways were sovereignty.

Wherever the railway goes, supply is not a problem, the army of the Ming Dynasty has been stationed for a long time, and reinforcements can also arrive day and night.

In the Ping-Wa War, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to cede part of the territory with less strategic value, but every inch of land along the railway line was contested, and not an inch of land was lost.

Of course, in addition to the bravery of the Royal Army, Julie also helped Zhu Fugui a lot through commercial means.

Nominally, all of this is run by her father, but the latter's business talent is far from being comparable to that of his daughter, and he is just a tool man.

In the eyes of the outside world, Steve Wencheng Vanderbilt, the railroad tycoon, is a rapidly emerging wealthy man in the past year, and his wealth is accumulating even faster than that of John Rockefeller, the oil magnate who had just founded Exxon-Mobil Oil Company.

Of course, Comrade Fan Wencheng is still relatively low-key, making a fortune in a muffled voice, and making considerable political contributions to the parliamentarians.

Therefore, the accusation that the Fan merchant group got along closely with the Ming and southerners in the process of building the railroad has been in the smuggling law procedure.

Millican is a country with a legal system, and it is normal for it to take five years and ten years to try a case.

During this period, banknotes are earned, stocks are rising, and everyone is rich together.

In fact, if Lincoln had been healthy, the energy of the Vanderbilt family alone would not have been able to do all this.

A strong-willed, purposeful, and powerful Millican is still terrifying, enough to kill all oligarchs and trusts.

Historically, the Vanderbilt family has been crushed in the second generation, the third generation has been in disarray, and the fourth generation has been delivering food.

What's more, Julie and her father don't represent all of Vanderbilt, and Julie's Uncle William is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

However, Lincoln's health is now a mystery, and the executive power of the New York government has actually fallen into the hands of his eldest son, Lincoln Jr., and his political ally, the undefeated general Robert King Jr.

The Vanderbilt family is troubled internally and externally, and the New York government is also troubled internally and externally.

Both the Washington administration under Andrew Johnson and the Southern government, which is gradually not satisfied with being a corner of the southeast, are their most dangerous enemies.

It can even be said that the former is more threatening!

If the representative of the Mandate of Heaven in the Chinese Empire for a long time was the heirloom jade seal, the Mandate of Heaven most recognized by the Millicans at this time was the White House.

Lincoln is the legal elected president, but Johnson is also the legitimate president born under the Constitution, and he also holds the mandate of the White House.

Getting this usurper out of the White House as soon as possible was the first task facing Lincoln Jr. and Robert Jr.

In order to achieve this goal, other things can be a little later, such as dealing with Da Ming and Da Ming's white gloves.

In fact, during the previous peace period, it was not so much that they took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty to take back part of the territory, but that the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to shrink its strategy.

Zhu Fugui, as Lincoln Jr.'s half-murderer, was half a murderer of his father, and the only thing the latter did in addition to verbal condemnation and curses was to collect a considerable amount of taxes from Vanderbilt.

For the time being, Julie also needs to use Vanderbilt's signboard to earn profits and exert financial influence for Daming in the stock market.

In addition, now Zhu Fugui's murderous reputation and his various evil deeds are known in the northern states, but in fact, people have been talking about more jokes about France during this time.

That's right, Da Ming's milk law operation is a big victory!

The unscrupulous North American slave-owners had apparently forgotten Louis XVI's kindness to their reconstruction.

When the story of France being beaten by the Ming in the Far East was reported back to North America, they did not have a tear, but laughed.

In the past, small cartoons of the milk method that were circulated in a small area on snakeskin bags were not only passed on by word of mouth, but even appeared in many magazines and newspapers, and became a favorite work of art for the American people.

It's like during the final exam, a student in the class who usually scores in the middle of the exam suddenly scores 50 points, and he will inevitably be sincerely afraid and self-denial.

As a result, he accidentally discovered that not only did he fail the exam, but also the second place in the class, and the student who had to rely on him to pass the note to get a good score in the previous exam, actually failed either.

Now, naturally, my head doesn't hurt anymore, my waist doesn't hurt anymore, and the 50 points on the roll have become less dazzling.

That's the mentality of Americans right now.

What's more, in the past five years, the French in Quebec have not stopped talking, and they have been pressing and condemning behind their backs.

Isn't it just doing three lights in the south?

Burning down your house?

·

At the same time, the government of the South was very unhappy with the French.

Although the French have always been their quasi-allies, this so-called quasi-ally is really unreliable, and it has always been only thunder, not rain.

For several years, the French government's lip service to the Americas had exhausted the patience of the southern government.

At the end of last year, the Paris Fashion Show, the predecessor of Paris Fashion Week, was held as scheduled amid the bad news in East Asia.

Even in order to whitewash the peace, His Majesty Napoleon III also increased its promotion efforts.

However, at this extravaganza, a series of clothes from Richmond took the limelight.

It turned out that this month ago, Richmond preemptively held the first formal fashion week in history.

The soul of the Southern Army, the immortal famous general Robert Lee, has brought a refreshing new style of clothing to the world.

The characteristics of Li style clothing are bold colors and full of tension.

This is not a lie, there are many people in history who have become masters of visual art because of color blindness or other vision problems.

Robert Lee, an artistic genius who was originally buried in history, burst out of inspiration in the exchange with Zhu Fugui pen pals again and again, and was reborn from the cocoon!

In the 19th century, or for more than 100 years, Paris was the world's most recognized fashion capital.

Even if there is a lot of urine, all kinds of locs and blacks rob and scam, and force them to buy and sell, as long as you ask a woman anywhere in the world, even if it is a woman in Tehran, Damascus, or Riyadh, where do you want to travel the most, the answer is Paris in all likelihood.

The inculcation of concepts from generation to generation has made Paris the capital of fashion, and French has become the most beautiful language in the world.

To tell the truth, Zhu Fugui feels that French is so ugly that it is not known what to do compared to Suzhou dialect, and it is not even as beautiful as Japanese, and the aesthetic level is probably not much different from Korean and Arabic.

However, this is the power of cultural export.

However, in this time and space, Richmond preempted Paris in 40 years to host the first real fashion week.

Robert Lee made such an accident in the midst of the war, which Zhu Fugui did not expect, and he originally wanted to be the father of this fashion week!

This is the first time Zhu Fugui has hammered a miracle, and he was preempted halfway through the hammer.

But fortunately, Lao Li is a real person...... Zhu Fugui found that he and Lao Li were quite related, and Lao Li had a good relationship with him.

In short, Robert Lee is a real person.

He is not shy about Zhu Fugui's contribution to the field of fashion art: "The inspiration for Fashion Week came from the Ming Emperor Zhu Fugui, who had a beastly instinct for art, and I think he would have been an excellent painter if he had not become the head of the Ming Empire." ”

Of course, in order to maintain his basic plate, Robert Lee can't say more good things about Zhu Fugui.

Because as descendants of Ansar, the rednecks of the southern states are also very hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother, this is the traditional skill of the Ansar people.

In later generations, hundreds of billions of orders for wood, coal, and iron ore every year could not feed the dogs, and it was simply unrealistic to expect the king of fat to feed them.

The terms Zhu Fugui, Da Ming, and Asian were still unpopular in the Confederacy.

It's just that, compared with their northern cousins, the southern rednecks at least recognize Daming's technology, and recognize that Daming's products are far more sophisticated than the knockoffs produced in the United States.

Therefore, admitting Daming's fashion style and wearing Daming's export clothes, there is no psychological resistance for them, after all, Peppa Pig is so cute.

Robert Lee said, "I did communicate with demons, but you have to understand that our ancestors also learned about gunpowder from the Mongols, and I learned from the Ming people about aesthetics, which ...... It's all a good thing! ”

In the press (big) shaft performance, fashionista Robert Lee personally put on the stage to perform.

The outfit he wore was made from snakeskin bags, and the joke on it named the main theme of the show.

That is, Paris is not only the capital of culture and fashion, but we in the south of Dixie can also get more advanced culture from other channels.

We are no longer rude red necks, we are cultured red necks!
