Chapter 24, Emperor Harrison! Jackson: The First Civilian President!
"What's the situation?"
"Can you still be the leader of the alliance at the age of 61?"
"And ...... The founding heroes have all become the leaders of the alliance? β
"What the hell is going on with this America?"
"Virginia is the land of America's dragons? Little Virginia, there are so many presidents? β
"Huaixi heroes, can they be an emperor?"
didn't care about Jackson's slightly unhappy tone, the American emperors he revealed made Zhu Houzhao's cognition a little shaken.
Even if he had previously learned that the foreign regimes of Liao and Mongolia had a system of electing leaders, they were still capable.
But often this system is transformed into a hereditary system by a strong leader and passed on to his sons.
But in Jackson's account, he was surprised to find that several of the founding heroes of the United States ...... They all took turns to become presidents who resembled the leader of the alliance.
even almost inherited his father's business, John Quincy Adams came out, and Zhu Houzhao thought that it had finally become hereditary.
But the next Jackson was not very satisfied with Quincia Adams, and even complained, so Zhu Houzhao knew that Jackson was not Quincia Adams' son.
Even, Jackson blew himself up before becoming president at the age of 61, which shocked Zhu Houzhao.
To Jackson, the United States was founded for 60 years, and the first 60 years were controlled by the founding heroes group, and only now did it flow into the hands of outsiders.
Is it okay to have such a change of power? Will it work?
Under the inheritance and development of people with different surnames, can this America get better and better?
It's a bit out of the ordinary.
This is similar to Xu Da, Tang He and others who fought the world with Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and they all became emperors.
In this case, in the Central Plains Orthodox Dynasty, who can accept it?
Even when Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the royal family to the surname Yuan, it was also opposed and boycotted by the royal family!
The system of being able to accept outsiders as the leader of the alliance is somewhat beyond Zhu Houzhao's imagination.
He immediately noticed that there were a lot of questions recorded on the paper, and he also wanted to interrupt their chat and ask a good question.
But......
He held back.
Look first, look first.
[Meitaizu Washington: Jackson, what's there to be angry about. The situation I encountered is much more aggrieved than yours, and I didn't become president at the age of 57? Sometimes, some beautiful mistakes can make life more exciting. γ
Jackson's dissatisfaction also made Washington feel it, and he immediately comforted this colleague who had been hurt by his friend's son.
[Mercer Joe Lincoln: Mr. Washington is right, everything is God's best arrangement, and I became president at the age of 51. All setbacks will make you greater, won't they? You're still a soldier, don't you have any energy? γ
Lincoln also hurriedly comforted him.
[Γcole Louis XVI: 61 years old, 51 years old...... Do you have to be old to be president? At this age, I'm about the same age as my cabinet ministers. Your president, the equivalent of our cabinet ministers? Aren't you afraid that you won't be in office for long, and you will die in office? γ
Fortunately, Louis XVI and Zhu Houzhao had almost the same mentality, and asked Zhu Houzhao questions.
[Washington: Your Majesty Louis XVI, our president is indeed different from your royal system. When we first established this system, we made a restriction on Article 2 of the Constitution, and we wanted to be our president, a citizen of the United States. Second, they must be elected among members of parliament who are at least 35 years old and have some experience in governance. Under the guarantee of such a system, the elected ones are actually equivalent to your cabinet ministers or prime ministers. γ
Washington immediately explained.
Get!
The prime minister starts from the state and county, and the fierce general starts from the army!
Zhu Houzhao also understood at once that the president was equivalent to their cabinet chief assistant or former prime minister.
Looking at the prime ministers of so many dynasties, most of them are also relatively old, because it takes time to mix officialdom and seniority.
At the same time, after the experience of officialdom, these people are more restrained and rational than young people when they are in power at this time.
[Mercerzu Lincoln: Your Majesty, Louis XVI, you are right to be worried...... My predecessor, Whig President Henry Harrison, died in office after only 32 days as president because he was too old to become president. He is the first American president to die in office so far. γ
Lincoln also answered Louis XVI's doubts in passing.
This......
There really is.
So what kind of Harrison is this, can't he be called the Emperor of the United States?
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, he really didn't expect that the United States was founded in less than 90 years, and there was really a short-lived emperor.
[Jackson: Harrison, did he really become president later?] And died in office, only for 32 days? γ
Jackson was also attracted to attention, I didn't expect this guy, to become president?
[METAIZU WASHINGTON: Ah, Harrison is also president? But only for 32 days? γ
Washington was surprised again, after all, he also knew Harrison, because Harrison was a representative of the first Continental Congress and one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence.
[S.U.S. Jackson: Mr. Washington, you're mistaken. This Harrison is Benjamin Harrison's son, not the Harrison you know. γ
had a headache, and Zhu Houzhao felt that there were a lot of characters.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was the Emperor of the Martyrs, he would have been unable to remember.
[Merezon Louis XVI: Hey, you digress, who is this Harrison?] Isn't it Jackson that we're not talking about right now? Jackson, you continue to tell your story, how to talk about so many irrelevant people. Since they are all presidents, let's talk about it ourselves when they join the group. γ
Louis XVI simply became Zhu Houzhao's mouthpiece, and helped him pull back the subject.
[Supreme group leader: Please follow the chat topic, irrelevant people, or talk less.] γ
Zhu Houzhao also reminded him at the right time, the paper was almost full, and his mind was a little confused for a while.
[Meitaizu Washington: Well, we seem to be really digressing, and if you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't know each other.] Jackson, let's talk about you. Since you became president at the age of 61, we should have seen which family is behind you? γ
Washington also brought back the topic, he really didn't know anything about Jackson.
[Jackson: Mr. Washington, I've seen you, but you don't necessarily remember me. Because, during the Revolutionary War, I was just an ordinary uneducated teenager in the Reclamation District of North Carolina. At the age of 13, I joined the Continental Legion. During the Revolutionary War, I was even taken prisoner, my family was all dead, and I was a civilian. When you became president, I was 22 years old......]
[Then I was struggling to make money in the legal profession in a remote area. When Tennessee was founded, I became the first congressman at the age of 23 and entered politics. γ
[At the age of 31, I became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. γ
[Later, when we went to war with the Indians, I became a major general in the Tennessee militia and began my military career. γ
[At the age of 44, the Second War of Independence broke out, and I was able to establish my military merits. As a result, I became the first governor of Florida and ran for president, but I guess I don't have a family background. At the age of 57, he did not succeed in his first election, and he only became president at the age of 61. γ
Jackson was also very crisp and gave a brief account of his experience.
[Mercerzu Lincoln: Mr. Jackson, you are still humble and reserved. Mr. Washington, Your Majesty Louis XVI, you don't know that Jackson was the first civilian president of our United States, and at the same time he was a great battle hero, a true general! γ
The part he had hidden was soon replenished by Lincoln.
