Chapter 697: If you lose the choice, send troops to Washington? What a familiar script!

June in Tianjing is as hot as a steamer. The carved windows of the King of Wu Mansion are wide open, but there is no cool breeze. Only the moisture from the Qinhuai River sticks to the skin, making people feel uncomfortable. Luo Yaoguo unbuttoned the buckles on the collar and spread the secret electric power from Xianfeng on the table. Maria shook the sandalwood fan, Feng Yunshan squinted his eyes, slowly brushing his fingers on the telegram, and whispered:

"My minister Zhao Sijing reported: I have investigated the American countries. Since the division of the north and south, industry and commerce have flourished. In the year of Bingchen (1856), the steelmaking method of shellfish wheat was produced, and by Jiwei (1859), China's steel production exceeded 100,000 tons, a 20-fold increase from three years ago. Pennsylvania's coal caves are densely packed with an annual output of more than 8 million tons: more than 3,000 New England textile workshops, and cotton cloth can be found three times over the earth every year. The five lakes are full of iron ships, and the docks are 12 boats with water in the moon, with loads of more than 1,000 tons.

Chicago is where the railways meet. In the Wuwu year (1858), the railway line had been more than 10,000 miles, and this year it was built. The city's steel factory was burning day and night, and the smoke was blocked by the sun, with more than 30,000 workers. New York City was in succession, with more than 170 square meters of Dingkou, and the annual throughput of the port was worth 80 million US dollars. This is all a sign of a booming industrial prosperity.

In this year's presidential election, the Republican Lincoln clan took the banner of "moderate abolition of slavery". Although he said that he would not abolish the old system of slavery in the south, he insisted on banning slavery in New South Wales. He also advocated that the tariffs should be increased to 37%, which is famous for protecting domestic goods and promoting industry.

The party congress has decided that Lincoln will be the leader, and will soon issue a political platform and canvass votes for speeches.

However, looking at the Democratic Douglas, the party always advocated "self-determination of state power" and "light taxes and low taxes". Although it won the hearts of the people, the votes of the electoral may be insufficient. If the election is defeated, it will be based on the pretext of unfair vote counting. I heard that the southern slave states were already plotting. If Lincoln gained the throne, he would send troops to Washington immediately and force Douglas to take over. Another investigation into the Republican Party's strategy of "moderate anti-China" is actually preventing our compatriots from going west of the Rocky Mountains, and we need to be prepared.

My husband asked His Highness to make a decision early, either sending steamers and warships to cruis the Pacific Ocean, or losing quick guns and cannons to Jinshan to prevent unexpected surprises.

My minister Zhao Si paused his head and bowed again. On April 25, the tenth year of Tianli (Fire-lacquered seal: Bishop Charleston's House).

"If you lose the choice, send troops to Washington?" Luo Yaoguo laughed, "I'm so familiar with this script."

Feng Yunshan looked up at Luo Yaoguo: "Ninth brother, can anyone in the sky do this?"

"It's true!" Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile.

Maria closed the fan with a "slap" and said, "Did the person who did this in the sky succeed?"

"Not accomplished," Luo Yaoguo smiled, "The helper in heaven who is a little bit ambitious and has no ability below,

It was not organized at the moment."

"Can the American Southerner be successful this time?" A hint of cunning flashed in Maria's blue eyes.

Do you want to help them?”

Feng Yunshan frowned and said, "We don't need to get involved in too much American affairs, right? Besides, Lincoln's gentle anti-China is also beneficial to our people's Yellow West Coast. Why not let him do it?

Luo Yaoguo looked back at Maria: "Maria, what do you think?"

Maria chuckled: "I think it's better to make some trouble for the Americans. Otherwise, when Lincoln finishes cleaning up the slave owners in the south, it's time to deal with the Chinese on the West Coast!"

"My sister Maria, do you think Lincoln will still deal with the slave owner in the south?" Feng Yunshan was stunned. "Don't he want to be gentle and abolitionist?"

Luo Yaoguo snorted: "But he wants to increase the tariff to 37%! They Americans will increase tariffs, Britain,

France, Prussia, and Austria will not add tariffs? If these Europeans all give American cotton a 37% increase

To whom did the cotton from the southern slaves sell? If the cotton cannot be sold, the slave owner will go bankrupt.

What slaves do he still have? How could he be a gentle abolitionist? It is clearly a firewood cut off from the cauldron and force the southern slave owner to death!"

"But why did he do this?" Feng Yunshan was puzzled, "Is it to save the black slave?"

"No!" Luo Yaoguo snorted, "Lincoln raised tariffs to further develop American industry, to attract European factory owners to open factories in the United States, and to attract European engineers, skilled workers and ordinary workers to immigrate to the United States."

"Are Europeans willing to go?" Feng Yunshan turned his light to Maria when he asked.

"Keep!" Maria nodded, "The salary in the United States is high and the prices are low, and the wages of American workers are twice as high as those in the United Kingdom! And the prices, especially food and housing, are far lower than those in the United Kingdom. If the British factory owner transfers the factory to the United States, engineers and workers will definitely be willing to follow the past."

The United States in the mid-19th century, especially the United States after the Civil War, was a fantastic chosen country!

The salary is twice as high as the number one imperialist power like the United Kingdom! It is seven or eight times higher than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (if gold is digging in the west, it will be even higher), but the prices are still lower. The United States has too good agricultural endowment! In other words, the transportation on the west coast is inconvenient, and it is too easy to dig gold to make money, so the high food price has occurred. In the East of the United States,

Food is very cheap, otherwise black slaves would not have had so much meat to eat!

Moreover, in this era, the industry in the United States has actually risen. The world of steel is second, the world of shipbuilding is second, the world of coal is second, the world of textile is second, and the world of oil is first-

Of course, these first and second are all calculated by yield, and they are very "doing"!

Also, today, there are still a large number of gold, silver, and copper mines in the United States...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n. Nowadays, the currencies of various countries are linked to precious metals, so it is money to dig out!

In addition, the infrastructure construction in the United States was doing well in this era, and it was the world's number one in railways! It was also a cliff-like lead, reaching 30,000 miles in 1858! Many canals were dug in the east of the United States, and inland water transportation was very cheap.

Finally, although the United States is now engaging in white supremacy and racial discrimination, it welcomes European immigrants...\n.\n.\n.\n. Regardless of whether the immigrant has money, knowledge, or skills, he is always American!

Settling down for 5 years to obtain nationality.

So in the United States today, it requires money, resources, and industrial infrastructure..\n:::. The cost of living is still low, the wages are still high, and immigrants (whites). In this case, high tariffs are required to attract European capitalists and workers to develop in the past. That is the absolutely correct way.

Therefore, after the Civil War, the United States spent 30 years raising high tariffs to make industry the world's number one...

This opponent cannot be underestimated!

Luo Yaoguo pondered for a moment: "Three brother, Maria, I mean, if this America really rises, it will definitely compete with us for the Pacific Ocean and drive our people out of the west coast. So we must give them some darkness!"

Feng Yunshan frowned and asked, "Ninth Brother, how should I get this yin person?"

"We have to give the Southerners some tips... and we have to bring some arms to them." Luo Yaoguo tried hard to recall the past in "Heaven". He didn't know if the "grand commander" was chosen later?

He thought for a while and sneered: "The US election does not depend on votes, but on electoral votes... and the votes of this electoral sometimes cannot reflect real public opinion. If Douglas wins the votes but loses the electoral votes, the southerners will definitely not accept it. Let's teach them that there is not enough votes, so use their feet to make up!"

Maria raised her eyebrows: "How to get it?"

Luo Yaoguo dipped his finger in tea and drew a brief map of Washington on the table: "Let the southern states organize a "public opinion delegation" and enter Washington in a mighty manner under the banner of "repaying me for election justice". He carried a gun and protested outside Capitol Hill, forcing those electors to "follow the public opinion."

Feng Yunshan frowned: "But what if the elector insists on not changing?"

"That depends on whether that Breckenridge can give up?" Luo Yao Guodao, "The person responsible for counting the electoral votes is Vice President Breckenridge, who is also the Speaker of the Senate...:::. As long as he is willing to follow the public opinion and announce Douglas' election, Douglas can become president!"

Maria chuckled her hands and said, "If he and the Democrats do this, the Republicans will definitely not accept it."

Luo Yao Guodao: "If you don't accept it, you'll fight a civil war!" He smiled and said, "The United States is a situation where the south is weak and the north is strong.

If the North wins the Federation again, the South will have no chance to fight. If the South can use this method to win the Federation...\n

This battle may be a good fight."

Feng Yunshan nodded: "If you really want to do this, it's better to create public opinion first and start Lincoln's conspiracy to use high tariffs to force the owner of the southern manor to death, crush it, and make it clear."

Luo Yaoguo laughed: "Yes! Create public opinion first, then rush to Capitol Hill, and at the same time, you have to prepare for war to protect the law, and take three steps!"

He turned his head to Maria and said, "Maria, record!"

Maria immediately took out her notebook and pen and began to record the secret telegrams that Luo Yaoguo told.

"To Rinko Paris: Go to Charleston quickly and present to Zhao Si. The day of the plan: form a southern righteous man to enter Beijing and use public opinion to suppress the electorate. If it fails, it will inspire a mutiny. In addition, contact the Southern Congressmen and secretly stockpile arms in Virginia to prevent accidents."

After Mary's record was completed, Luo Yaoguo added another sentence: "Another sentence is added, 'You can tell Prince Napoleon: If this plan is successful, America will be broken, and France's plan in Mexico will be successful at that time."

When Maria retreated, Feng Yunshan suddenly asked, "If the southerners really make a fuss, Douglas will come to power,

What are the benefits for us?”

Luo Yaoguo sneered: "How can it be so easy to make a fuss? After all, there are only more than 5 million white people in the south, and 2,000 in the north.

There are so many white people, and there is a strong industry!"

Feng Yunshan said: "I hope our people can make good use of the years when the Americans bite their dogs and truly manage the three states of the West Coast."

Luo Yaoguo's eyes turned cold: "No matter whether our people can take root on the West Coast or not, they must make the United States chaotic, the more chaotic the better!"

As I was talking, thunder suddenly rolled outside the window, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down. The raindrops hit the bluestone slabs, and the steaming heat dissipated slightly.

Feng Yunshan looked at the rain curtain and said quietly, "This rain is probably going to the other side of the Pacific Ocean."
