Chapter 27: Lincoln: Three Reasons Why We Broke Out in Civil War!
[Meitaizu Washington: Yes, this should be the point, why do we have a civil war?] 】
As soon as the word civil war came out, Washington came to the spirit.
Jackson was so dazzling to him that he didn't even know how to praise it.
As for the only drawback, the economy is not good, and he can't intervene.
Fortunately, this topic has finally come to an end, and it has come to the point of this chat.
He really couldn't figure out why the United States was in a civil war, because of what civil war.
[Érézou Louis XVI: It's time for a change of taste, but the so-called civil war, the reasons are nothing more than these reasons, there are careerists in the country, natural and man-made disasters, corruption is rampant, and so on, and then there is the struggle for power and profit. 】
France has a deep history, and Louis XVI's history lessons are naturally good, and almost all kinds of civil war causes are at hand.
[Supreme group leader: Yes, there is another important point, it may be that the heir has been chosen wrongly, and it belongs to the civil war between the royal families. 】
The civil war in the United States, to be honest, Zhu Houzhao was not very interested.
Because no matter how powerful it is, it only lost three or four hundred thousand soldiers.
The Ming Civil War - the Battle of Jingyan is called a real civil war, and the cumulative mobilization is almost a million troops.
This kind of infighting, in fact, is not good for the entire dynasty, it is internal friction.
But in their vein, if they don't resist, they will die.
Such a civil war, to put it bluntly, is that their old Zhu family fights their own people, and there is a civil war between the royal family.
There's nothing to say, and it's not very glorious to say it.
This is a point that they are reluctant to mention.
To put it bluntly, according to Taizu's meaning, they are just chaotic ministers and thieves.
In order to show orthodoxy and legitimacy, Taizong Zhu Di engaged in a Hongwu 35 years of covering his ears and stealing the bell, trying to downplay this Ming civil war.
[Mercerzu Lincoln: The leader of the group and Louis XVI are quite right, the civil war, nothing more than these reasons. But in the last ten days, I have taken stock and thought about how to tell Mr. Washington and Mr. Jackson about this civil war......]
Lincoln phrased slightly, gathering his thoughts.
[Mercer Joe Lincoln: To be honest, I don't know how to say it. Because, such a civil war broke out so suddenly, and none of us expected it to come so suddenly...... In particular, when I was elected president, the Union declared its independence from the Union. 】
Lincoln was very wronged, wasting the first half of his life, just elected president, and finally reached the pinnacle of his life, and he was involved in the civil war.
If America had really been completely torn apart in office, he would have become a sinner for the ages.
[Julizo Louis XVI: How fresh, who could have predicted this kind of civil war? This is no ordinary war, but a civil war. In a war of this magnitude, both sides should not be prepared, but there are reasons why they have to fight. 】
Louis XVI hit the nail on the head to point out the essence of the civil war.
Neither side was ready to tear their faces apart.
Zhu Houzhao thought it was true, if it weren't for Taizong Zhu Di who was forced to eat pig food and was knifed to his neck, he would not have chosen Jingnan, after all, he was not fully prepared.
Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen should not have expected that Taizong would really dare to do it.
However, what is even more surprising is that the vassal kings of all walks of life did not expect that as soon as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he would really dare to cut the domain.
Just as Lincoln had just ascended the throne, a civil war broke out.
There is still a bit of similarity between the two.
Lincoln: yes, so ...... I don't even know what to say. 】
Lincoln was actually at a loss, even if he thought about it for ten days, he didn't know how to say about the Civil War.
After all, he is now in the midst of a civil war, and it is quite difficult for him to jump out and look down on the entire civil war in the middle of this mountain.
The people felt his embarrassment, and did not disturb him or urge him.
Zhu Houzhao took the time to take a look at the chat time, this chat time, there are still twenty minutes left, I can probably let this guy finish speaking, he didn't urge.
Let Taizong Zhu Di come to talk about the Ming Civil War in front of Taizu, he definitely doesn't know how to say it.
[Mercer Joe Lincoln: Let's answer Mr. Jackson's question first, we've even met...... But just as Mr. Washington didn't know you, you were president at the time, and I was 25 years old, a Whig, and just an ordinary congressman from Illinois. 】
[Jackson: Whigs? A young Illinois MP, sorry...... I really didn't pay attention. 】
Jackson immediately searched for memories and had no memory of Lincoln.
[Jackson: So, Henry Clay and they finally defeated our Democrats and became president in order to rebel against the Whig Party I founded? 】
Jackson noticed Lincoln's wording, the Whigs, which were all defeated by his men, he didn't pay attention to it, and in the end it turned out to be the climate.
[Merschzu Lincoln: It's true that two Whigs have been presidents, but, Mr. Jackson, I'm president as a Republican. I represent the Republicans. 】
[Mei Taizu Washington: Slow down...... You two talk slowly, Whigs, Republicans...... Democratic party...... Didn't I remember that in our current Union, there are only the Federalist Party created by Adams and the Democratic Republican Party created by Jefferson? So many parties came later? 】
The small entry point directly made Washington confused.
After all, he was non-partisan and did not want to be affiliated with any partisanship.
[Supreme Group Master: I can't tell the difference either. 】
Zhu Houzhao was also confused, and originally felt that he had a relatively clear understanding of the United States, but when these parties came out, he was confused again.
Moreover, party strife has always been a derogatory term in the Ming Dynasty and the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor and his ministers kept it secretive, because it had been proven that it was not good for the development of the country, and once the phenomenon of partisanship appeared, the result was often to hasten the decline and demise of the country.
The more famous ones are the Niu Li Party Struggle in the Tang Dynasty.
It was in the late Tang Dynasty that a large-scale party struggle broke out, namely the Niu Li Party Dispute.
There was a struggle between the Niu Party headed by Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin and the Li Party led by Li Deyu and Zheng Qin for more than 40 years. The fierce confrontation between the two sides in domestic affairs and diplomacy can be said to have accelerated the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Tang Xuanzong, who later became known as a little Taizong, was unable to return to heaven under the struggle of Niu and Li's party.
There is another well-known party dispute, which is the disaster of the party in the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
All kinds of historical experience can show that this thing is harmful to the dynasty.
The United States still allows this kind of partisan struggle to prevail, and it can still make the United States strong, Zhu Houzhao said that he does not understand.
[Julizo Louis XVI: I don't know why, but as soon as you messy parties came out, I felt a little uneasy. 】
Louis XVI didn't like this at all, on the contrary, he felt a slight chill on the back of his neck.
[Mercer Joe Lincoln: There it is!] Everybody...... It's party strife! I know where to start talking about the cause of the civil war. 】
Lincoln's eyes suddenly lit up during this small talk, and he knew how to talk about the Civil War.
After all, there is a big factor in the civil war, and it is because of partisanship.
[Mercer Joe Lincoln: The reason for the outbreak of our civil war...... I think, in my current judgment, there are roughly three important reasons. 】
[First, it is party strife! Second, the battle between federal rights and state rights! Third, the battle between agriculture and industry! 】
[These reasons are summed up, in fact, they are all contradictions buried during the founding of the country, just as President Jackson encountered the abolition of the bank, and the point in time we are at is the flashpoint of contradictions since the founding of the United States of America 89 years ago. 】
In an instant, Lincoln finally cleared his mind and reluctantly figured out the cause of the Civil War.
