"The Negro Slave Emancipation Act?"

"On March 3, 1811, the President signed the Negro Bill of Rights, which was jointly submitted by the Senate and the House of Representatives, under which any black slave who came to the United States of America by being trafficked before 1811 would be emancipated and blacks would become freemen."

"Black soldiers who join the United States of America will receive citizenship of the United States of America after three years of fighting."

An official letter from Montgomery City Hall is being read.

um was a little confused.

From now on, they are free blacks, given the power of freedom.

But where can they go now?

"Back to the farm? But now the farms have also adopted a hired labor system, and the farmers are no longer in charge of the food. ”

A black man said confusedly.

Until then, they were the property of the farmers.

As property, it is natural that it will be protected to a certain extent, and the farmers will not starve the black people in the prime of life at will—after all, the thin black people cannot be bought and sold.

And now.

With the release of the [Black Slave Emancipation Act].

Black people are free—they have the right to move freely, to choose to be exploited, to starve freely.

But.

They are not granted citizenship by the United States of America — and rightfully so.

Because in this day and age, democracy is a limited democracy.

Women and people of color do not have the right to vote.

Even for white men, voting rights are tied to the amount of taxes they pay – if they don't pay taxes, they don't have power.

For these black people who have been freed.

The first problem they face now is: dinner tonight.

"It's better to be a slave."

Um, grumbling with hunger, muttered.

He misses his master so much.

It was a white couple from the German region of Europe.

Although the man is very fierce, he carries a leather whip on his waist and a musket on his shoulder.

But the hostess was a little more gentle.

And it's full.

Results now

He was free, but he was also at a loss.

"To be a soldier?!"

Hungry and grumbling um now has only one place to go.

He had no idea.

What awaits him.

The war with the Chinese had nothing to do with them, the black slaves.

In fact.

um had never heard of China, nor did he know where it was, let alone met the Chinese.

Right now.

Driven by hunger.

He became a soldier in the United States of America Army.

Joined a war he didn't know what the meaning was.

Although he became cannon fodder.

However, he was free.

"I really am a descendant of the Yin people!"

"You're so dark! You can't."

'How can't I be, I'm tanned!' Do you listen to my Chinese, standard? Is it authentic? Some of those Sioux people are more standard than my Chinese! ’

Inside the Golden Mountain Castle.

A large, swarthy man muttered.

The fine curls on his head were the same as those yellow-skinned people around him, and he was wearing a set of "bright clothes" in the style of the anti-Ming army combat uniform, which was very popular in Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate.

But both his height and the color of his skin are incompatible with the people around him.

"This is the Sioux entrance exam to China, you black guy looks like a black man from West Africa, what kind of Yin Shang descendant are you? Walk around and don't mess around! ”

A Ming Dynasty official wearing a green-robed official uniform frowned slightly and shouted at the big black man.

The big black man hurriedly gave up.

"This adult, Caomin Jieke, his ancestors are indeed from West Africa, but Caomin's grandmother is from the Sioux tribe, and Caomin is of Sioux blood, and in this respect, the little one is indeed of Yin Shang blood."

The Ming Dynasty official frowned slightly when he heard this.

This black man named Jieke is indeed not that dark, and he does have some Sioux characteristics between his faces.

But

Said that he was a descendant of Yin Shang.

Who believes this?

Oh.

The vast majority of people now believe that the indigenous inhabitants of North America are descendants of immigrants from the Yin Shang dynasty.

So this land of the Americas.

It is also the land occupied by the Huaxia people since ancient times.

The Western Baiyi slaughtered the people of the Yin merchants.

This enmity is not shared.

Not many people believed this set of arguments more than a decade ago.

But with a series of "artifacts unearthed" brought "evidence".

and the tireless propaganda of the Ming officials.

In addition, both the nomadic Sioux tribes on the plateau and the Albanian tribes who settled in the south have a great hatred for the whites from the West.

On the contrary, he has a relatively good impression of Chinese who look much like themselves.

So.

The policy of naturalization of the Sioux established by the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate was successful.

So far, 120,000 Sioux tribesmen have passed the "China" examination.

has become a glorious "Chinese person".

Backward civilizations naturally yearn for advanced civilizations.

In ancient times, Yi entered China, and the existing Su nationality entered China.

Absorbing and assimilating the indigenous people is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

The Sioux entered China mainly through three ways.

First, marriage.

All Sioux women marry Ming subjects as wives.

You can automatically obtain the status of a Ming subject.

Second, the examination.

As long as you can pass the "Entering China" exam, you can become a subject of His Majesty the glorious Ming Emperor.

This test mainly examines the level of spoken Chinese and the level of Chinese culture.

Third, meritorious service and reward.

For example, joining the Ming army to get military merits, or other merits - for example, the chiefs who led the people to submit to obedience usually do not need any exams, and they can get the status of Ming subjects if they get married.

Now Jieke is going to participate.

It is the "Entering China" exam that will be held in Jinshan City every month.

However, there is obviously a loophole in the naturalization of North American natives by the Ming Dynasty.

For example.

There are no detailed rules about skin color.

After all.

In the eyes of the high-level officials of the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate.

Those who will come to take this entrance exam are the natives who believe that they are descendants of Yin Shang.

As for the whites

They would definitely not dare to come to the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate.

Because as the two sides come into contact and clash with each other, the hostility between them spirals.

In addition to the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate's "Baiyi Soldier Head Bounty Order" released、

As a result, the Kanayama Prefecture was completely off-limits to whites - although the purpose of this bounty was to combat the small reconnaissance units sent by the British, Americans, and Spaniards to the Kanayama Prefecture.

But.

The severed white head was not able to speak.

Who knows, these whites are soldiers or civilians?

Therefore.

Many of the hunters of the collective farms, who were more daring, even dared to enter the white-controlled areas and hunt the heads of the white men!

The Ming official frowned.

He had now found a loophole in the naturalization of the Indigenous Act — that whites were afraid to come.

But.

There are blacks on the North American continent!

The head of the black man is worthless.

So.

When they came to the Jinshan Protectorate, they would not encounter the attack of the Orion - the Chinese are generally quite mild, cutting off people's heads is to make money, worthless heads, why chop? Isn't that iniquity?

This Jieke may be the first black man to discover the loophole in this "China Entry" exam.

Just when the seven-rank official who was in charge of presiding over the entrance examination was going to find some excuse to send this big black man away.

There was a sudden movement outside the door.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived!!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has come down, hurry up, the Chinese bow down, and the natives kneel and salute!"

Soon.

Some officials shouted.
