The "Report on the Expedition of the Railway Army to Protect Overseas Chinese" from the Ministry of War, the "Detailed Overview of the Cotton Field Incident" from Jinyiwei, and the "Protest on the Franklin Massacre" from the Richmond government and the Washington government arrived at Zhu Fugui's imperial front one after another.

After investigation, Zhu Fugui probably figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

Qian Luojun, that guy is really good at causing trouble, protecting overseas Chinese is protecting overseas Chinese, how can he protect tens of thousands of people in a small town?

Isn't that a surprise to friendly countries?

How good is that?

Tennessee, where Franklin is located, was a slave state in the South, but it was repeatedly conquered by both the North and the South in the previous Civil War, and most of the area is now in Southern hands.

However, Richmond's Southern government was itself a confederation and was very loose, so Washington and Richmond claimed Tennessee at the same time, and Tennessee itself was in a state of vacillation.

The Ming did not recognize the two northern governments of Washington and New York as legitimate regimes, so he ignored the surprise of the Washington government.

As for Richmond's surprise, Zhu Fugui attaches great importance to it.

He personally wrote a letter criticizing Davis in beautiful Zaun language as a sign of sincerity.

Qian Luojun is a clever kid, and this time he brought a lot of correspondents with the army and took a lot of photos.

Coupled with a little addition and modification of [Xuanzi's private photography], Zhu Fugui took a bunch of photos of the David's cult on the face of the Davis government.

To put it simply, the children of the Ming Dynasty were persecuted by the cult in your state, and they were incompetent to provide protection and crack down on the cult, so the Ming Dynasty was forced to govern with a long arm, 300 kilometers of cross-border law enforcement, protect the overseas Chinese and maintain universal values with bullets by the way.

Of course, the Ming side also made the mistake of simple and rude working methods, and damaged the property of your state's personnel.

The Ming court attached great importance to this, and now has rewarded Major Qian Luojun with 500 yuan, fined him for 2 weeks, and imposed a heavy fine of 12 hours of compulsory labor in the block.

In order to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries and protect trade from the interference of populism among the two countries, I sincerely hope that your state will not be ignorant and make unwise moves that hurt those who are close to each other and are quick to be enemies.

After writing his credentials to President Davis, Zhu Fugui was not willing to take a telegram, but asked people to send it by rail.

As for the other party's reaction, Zhu Fugui could basically guess it.

I think I'll go back and forth a few more times.

At present, it would be good for the Southern government to actually receive taxes on the Tennessee side, and it is difficult to even recruit soldiers, and it is obvious that it cannot and does not want to take care of the affairs of the underground church.

The southern government came to protest to Daming, but it was nothing more than playing three poles with dates and no dates, trying to see if it could get benefits.

Although the Ming Dynasty was on the side of the trade surplus in the "Ming-US Trade Agreement", Zhu Fugui did not think that the Ming Dynasty asked them to trade.

Daming's food and industrial products are not something they can give up.

Not to mention the fat king, another heavy barbed wire fence is also something that the southern government cannot but import from the Ming Dynasty in large quantities.

Things like barbed wire are no longer black technology on the North American continent, and the major powers have learned the ability to dig trenches, pull barbed wire, and sometimes even set up machine guns.

After all, Da Ming has been fighting with them for three or four years, and even pigs will learn to be smart.

But in this way, the problem of weak industrial capacity of the southern government is further amplified, and their production capacity of machine gun bullets and barbed wire is far weaker than that of the north.

In fact, the south has quite a lot of natural resources.

There are large oil fields in St. Louisiana and Mississippi, and iron ore mines in Alabama.

However, they lack the ability to turn these resources into war potential.

Therefore, trade with the Ming Dynasty was quite important, and the southern government's fiscal deficit was about to explode, and if the loans from the Ming Dynasty did not arrive in time, the capitalists and bankers would certainly not let them go.

In short, although it is far from being the dog of the Ming Dynasty, the southern government does have a request for the Ming Dynasty at present.

On second thought, the heretics killed a bunch of heretics in Tennessee, and that's a good thing!

In the end, the plot also developed as Zhu Fugui guessed, and the southern government calmed the matter, saying that the Ming government was only fulfilling the obligations and powers stipulated in the treaty, and the cause of the incident was the ignorant underground church people holding evil religious ceremonies.

This has weakened the prestige of the Southern government, but the profitability of trade has increased.

Because in private, Zhu Fugui also gave the southern government a little sweetness in commodity trade, which can be regarded as a carrot after the stick.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a country of different races, religions, and cultures, and its quasi-ally relationship with the southern government is very fragile, and if it is too tough, it is easy for them to break the jar and fall and turn around and cooperate with the Democratic government in Washington.

The fact that Chinese people are discriminated against has also reminded Zhu Fugui that it is time to use the power of culture to tell those red necks who is the real master.

It's late March, spring is blooming, and everything is recovering.

The palace of wealth is full of lights and beaming.

His Majesty's second wedding took place quietly.

Compared with the grand scene of the universal celebration and the collective wedding of hundreds of couples when Zhu Fugui and Yin Susu got married that day, the wedding of Concubine Lan was very low-key.

Zhu Fugui only invited relatives and friends of the royal family to participate, did not invite courtiers and citizen representatives, and even most of the people only learned about the long live lord and concubine from the short message on the title page of the "Daming Times".

The so-called royal relatives and friends, there are not many people, mainly Lao Li, Qi Wenchang, Yang Liu and his wife, Zhang Changgui and his wife, these old friends of Zhu Fugui;

The three Yin Weasel brothers and sisters, Aunt Niu, the old grandmother, the rock and other Yin concubines are a party;

Mori Keikin, Uemon, Takasugi Shinsaku and other Lan concubines.

Among them, Uemon and Takasugi Shinsaku both received education and training in the Ming Dynasty as naturalized Japanese people, and they will return to Japan as important Japanese cadres in the second half of the year.

Zhu Fugui's father-in-law will live in Fengdu with several side rooms.

The current tentative "Marriage Law" of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that monogamy is not allowed to take concubines, but the new law does not apply retroactively.

An old nobleman like Maori Jingqin, who had multiple side rooms, could still legally keep his little wife.

But for the citizens of the Ming Dynasty other than the emperor, they can't take concubines in the future.

To be honest, this kind of law is extremely difficult to implement if it is in the homeland of China.

Hong Kong did not even enact legislation to abolish concubinage until 1971.

Monogamy was opposed mainly by bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen.

In the era when concubines were legal, it was difficult for the poor in Hong Kong to find a wife, but more than ten years later, truck drivers could also go to Shenzhen to charter a female student to live happily, so that a group of Ah Can remembered the Hong Kong British era very much.

For example, in Egypt in the Arab world, men have always been allowed to take four wives.

But 90 percent of married men in Egypt also have only one wife.

Therefore, the people at the bottom actually don't care how many wives they can marry, and one of them has already burned high incense.

This is especially true in the Ming Dynasty, where the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced.

Imagine the ratio of men and women in some rural areas in later generations, and you can imagine what the marriage market in the Ming Dynasty was like.

Fortunately, there is Seattle in the Ming Dynasty, and it is better to block it than to sparse it, so as not to cause major social turmoil.

The situation in the Japanese Metropolitan Protectorate is completely reversed, where men are almost dead, and there are many women who are widowed and difficult to marry.

The reconciliation of the two sides is underway.

However, a group of Morishita's disciples and grandchildren control the project with the female east, and the control is very strict.

All in all, the Ming Dynasty has neither a family nor a powerful minister who can resist the imperial power, nor any civil resistance, so the provisions of the "Marriage Law" have been well implemented.

However, I have my own national conditions here.

The Son of Heaven accepting a concubine naturally cannot be equated with marrying a wife and taking a concubine.

The family affairs of the Son of Heaven are national affairs!

Your Majesty is not a concubine, but the whole of Japan!

The so-called winning the world right away, ruling the world on the bed, my long live Lord is also for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, and I have done my best.

In fact, Zhu Fugui is still a little weak about not being the first to set an example.

Later, he found that no one from the three princes to the common people raised any objections to this, not even those who felt that it was inappropriate, and the people all applauded, and even ran outside to set off a cannon battle.

Zhu Fugui couldn't help but think of Sun Wen becoming president in later generations, and meeting some people in the south of the Yangtze River, the latter bowed down and said long live, no matter how Sun Wen explained, these people just couldn't understand why he, the president, was not the emperor.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fugui could only sigh with emotion, the traditional concept of feudal society is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not a generation's work to reverse it.

But...... There is still merit in the life of the decaying feudal emperor!

Of course, Zhu Fugui is also working to improve the law on the royal family, fill the loopholes, and cut off the blessings of the descendants of the Zhu family in the future.

But when it comes to children and grandchildren......

It has been three years since Zhu Fugui carelessly lost his virginity at the age of 16.

I think I am also diligent, although I am not enough to be a six times a night, but I am never lazy in killing, but to this day, whether it is Concubine Yin or Concubine Lan, there is still nothing.

If it was just Yin Susu alone, but even Mao Lilan didn't have any movement until now, Zhu Fugui couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart.

Isn't there something wrong with my little dragon worm?

With a heavy heart, Zhu Fugui secretly took five milliliters of dragon essence from a small test tube on the third day after his wedding, and then couriered it to his old friend, Director Tong, vice president of Ivory Mountain Central Hospital.

That's right, Director Tong has been promoted again, and now he should be regarded as Dean Tong.

However, his screen name is still Director Tong.

For his old friend Director Zhu, Director Tong is still very enthusiastic.

After all, over the years, he has earned no less than seven figures from Director Zhu, which is much higher than his salary.

After all, in a place like Ivory Mountain, there is no oil and water when you hear it.

Comrade Lao Tong is also a Qing official outside Shanhaiguan, and he can't scrape any oil and water.

The annual consulting fee of hundreds of thousands is like falling from the sky.

This Director Zhu is his God of Wealth!

·

[Special Spectrum: Director Tong, I have a friend who wants to inquire about infertility. 】

[Director Ivory Mountain Tong: Director Zhu, I don't doubt you, I just just ask, is your friend also surnamed Zhu? 】

……

More than an hour later, Zhu Fugui got his own inspection report.

The quality of the dragon worm is excellent, and the various values are very good.

[Director Ivory Mountain Tong: Director Zhu, can you help ask, does your friend have any plans to help others, you must know that there are hundreds of thousands of couples in our country who cannot have children every year, but that library is becoming more and more unable to receive qualified things, the quality of your friends is really high! It should be described, and there will be subsidies! 】
