"This!!?"
Lincoln's surprised eyes showed that the dentures in his mouth were loose and he didn't know it.
"Mr. President, what happened?" Seward asked quickly.
"See for yourself, William..."
After receiving the emergency telegram from Lincoln, Seward quickly read it at a glance, with a shocked expression on his face.
"This... the wealthy emperor with Ming agreed?"
Seward rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Does he really think we dare not send him to the gallows?"
Because it was never expected that Emperor Daiming would agree, the White House has no relevant follow-up plans.
But this kind of thing is familiar to everyone.
Four years ago, how the innocent 38 Indian chiefs went through a 10-minute quick trial and then sent to the gallows, everything is still vivid!
This guy named Zhu Fugui doesn't have a particularly hard neck, so he just needs to deal with it as usual.
"Hehe, it's just a stupid yellow-skinned monkey!"
Lincoln shook his head and said, "Do you still remember the governor of the Qing Dynasty named Ye Mingchen? And the Japanese who came to apologize before... These yellow-skinned monkeys are really innocent and cute sometimes!"
"You're right..."
Seward said thoughtfully, "I heard that a few years ago, the British and French sailed warships into the Yellow Sea, and the Russians lied to the Tatar emperor that the British and French coalition forces would land from the Sea of Japan, and then the Tatars would All the coastal land in the northeast was given to the Russians...
Trying to rely on the Russians to stop the British and French landings... What a fool...
But speaking of it... Mr. President, how did we go with the Russians on that matter? "
Lincoln was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then immediately burst out laughing.
"Haha, no wonder why there is a saying that if you split a Russian, there is a Tatar in it.
These stupid Eastern Slavs seem to have been planted by Genghis Khan...
Don't worry, Alaska can't escape. I believe that the federal government will soon get the 170 million square kilometers of land at the cost of several million dollars.
Well, of course, we will help them against the British and French according to the agreement...
Hahaha, it's so funny! "
Speaking of a promise that even he didn't believe, Lincoln laughed and tears came out of the corners of his eyes.
Whether it is the Russian tsar, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or even the emperor with Ming, why are they so naive?
May I ask, in today's world, is there any other monarch who can be as wise as I, Abraham Lincoln?
"Inside..."
Seward's weak voice interrupted Lincoln's self-appreciation, "Your Excellency, let me tell you...the previous bet...your stock account..."
"Oh, you said that!"
Lincoln shook his head indifferently, "William, you don't think I'm a person who doesn't keep promises, do you?"
"Ah? Mr. President, I was just joking. Do you really want to fulfill your bet?"
"Haha, don't worry, William, I'll give it to you in a while."
Lincoln reached out and patted his confidant, and the terrible incident more than a year ago flashed in his mind, "William, I'm not bragging, my stock account used to have so much money..."
Lincoln stretched his arms and gestured with his hands, "But now...it's only enough to buy you a top hat!"
Thinking of the stock market fluctuations caused by the battle between Robert King Jr. and Stonewall Jackson, Lincoln was still afraid for a while.
If I hadn't stopped the loss in time and pulled most of the money out of the stock market, then I might have gone bankrupt completely.
Speaking of stocks...
Lincoln's eyes lit up.
This time, maybe it's time for me, Abraham Lin Ken, to be reborn from the ashes!
Chapter 263 Powering the World
Did Zhu Fugui get African swine fever, so he went to Washington to die in a fever?
Of course this is not the case.
In fact, when Zhu Fugui expressed his intention to go to Washington for an appointment, let alone the court, even Yin Susu tried hard to persuade him.
Although Yin Susu was not aware of a series of well-known Chinese short stories such as "Hongmen Banquet", "Xu Shu Visiting His Mother", "Going to the Meeting Alone", but she had seen stories about Spaniards and Inca emperors in the library.
It is said that the evil Spaniards captured the Inca emperor while he was negotiating in person, and used this to force the Inca to contribute a large amount of gold.
In the end, the gold did not redeem their emperor, and the Spaniards brutally hanged the Inca emperor.
Of course Zhu Fugui understood these principles that even the people of Yin understood.
But there is a story that Zhu Fugui has heard of, but no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty has heard of it.
That's a story about how to outwit a boar hide...
Zhu Fugui was ready to try the possibility of this plan after reading the "White Hound Montreal Branch Information for February".
Anyway, even if it fails, there is no big loss, but what if it succeeds?
In the end, Zhu Fugui made an arbitrary decision, rejected all opinions, and publicly published the "Ming Emperor's Letter to the Commander of Citi".
This document was published not only in the "Da Ming Times", but also in the "Da Ming Times (Overseas Edition)" and the "New England Times", an old friend of the Ming people.
Zhu Fugui even spent a sum of money to buy a headline on Quebec's French newspaper "New France Opus".
These days, if you want to say who knows the value of Toutiao traffic best, it must be Comrade "Death Knell".
In the "Ming Emperor's Letter to Citi Commander" written in Chinese, English, and French, Zhu Fugui first briefly reiterated the fact that America is the America of the yellow race, and that America is the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Then he changed the subject, and said that Ming Dynasty and Citigroup are the largest political entities at the east and west ends of the North American continent, and every move they make is related to the peace and stability of the Western Hemisphere.
Daming and Citigroup benefit from cooperation, and harm from confrontation.
The Ming people are not afraid of power but also love peace. The Ming government hopes to resolve the issue of the ownership of the Eastern Shoshone tribe through diplomatic communication and peaceful means.
For the common people of the world, for the sake of world peace, the Son of Heaven, the Saint Emperor, His Majesty Fugui Zhu, will go to Washington DC to have a face-to-face meeting with President Lincoln with sincerity and greetings in late March.
……
As soon as this article came out, there was another uproar in international politics.
The first to speak out was actually the British Prime Minister at the time, Viscount Palmerston from the Liberal Party.
Although there is a demand for the northern government on the food issue, this does not mean that the British shit stick will give up any opportunity to disgust the Northern Federation.
Especially when MI[-] has uncovered evidence of nefarious dealings between the US and Russia.
Even after the Russians were seriously considering sending their antiquated fleet to North America to assist the Northern government in fighting, the british incompetence and fury had reached a critical mass.
For the British and French of this period, Germany was just a baby on the side of the couch, not to be feared.
A behemoth spanning three continents—the Tsarist Russia is the world's greatest enemy.
Britain and France are engaged in ubiquitous contests with the Russians in Europe, in Crimea, in Central Asia, in the Far East, and even in North America.
In fact, the British have been seriously considering the possibility of supporting Daming since Daming showed a certain strength.
Don't think this is a fantasy.
There is nothing the Brits cannot do to contain the Russians, and especially to crush the US-Russia alliance.
Since the UK was able to conclude an alliance with Japan three times and support them in their initial industrialization, thereby curbing Russia's expansion in the Far East, then Ming could naturally consider it.
The inherent arrogance of the white people made them feel that there would be no danger in supporting a yellow country, even though they were severely beaten in the face in Southeast Asia later.
But at least for the moment, the British really think so.
Ming can defeat the federal army in the west, it can only show that the Americans are American, and it does not mean that the yellow race defeated the white race.
In an interview with the media, Viscount Palmerston said with a smile while smoking a cigar: "The uncivilized peoples from the East may lack civilized teachings, but obviously, they do not lack the courage to seek peace. I wonder if these qualities The same exists in superficial Americans, which is an unknown mystery."
Similarly, the Consul General of Quebec, France, also issued a statement in a strange manner: "Louis XVI helped the people of the United States to gain freedom, but the tyrant Lincoln is destroying all this. Perhaps only the czar's whip can make them realize who is the real leader in this world." Civilized people!
We welcome leaders of the day to Washington for dialogue, and we will urge the Lincoln administration to make a real commitment to keep this brave man safe. "
Of course, in addition to Britain and France, some other scattered countries have also shown their presence and expressed their close concern.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal to watch a play.
As for the two puppet states controlled by Ming Dynasty, the Changzhou Domain and the Grand Duchy of Seattle, one has no information, not even a telegram, and the other is not recognized by the international community, so they are of no use for the time being.
As for Citigroup, Lincoln himself was pissed off.
He never calculated that Zhu Fugui would really agree to come to Washington, and of course he did not calculate that he would engage in the trick of "powering the world" and making "Fugui's visit to the United States" known to the world.
Electrify the world...
Did you hear that this is what people do?
You worked so hard to fix cables, that's what you were asked to do?
It is used for stock trading, isn't it delicious?
In short, this makes the federal government very passive in public opinion.
"This group of idiots, we are the front line against the Yellow Peril, they actually made such a blow to us!"
Lincoln smashed his desk again and snarled at his secretary of state, "William, can you imagine that someday the Europeans will consider the Serbs their enemies who have blocked MS Lin for generations? The world How can there be such a stupid person in the world?"
Seward could only shrug his shoulders and curse the mean and shameless Europeans together.
Seeing that Lincoln's anger had almost subsided, Seward quickly asked: "Then, Your Excellency, shall we arrest that barbarian named Zhu Fugui directly as originally planned?"
Shaking his head, Lincoln rang the bell on his desk, calling in a series of White House counsel and his private secretary.
The plain, benevolent, and fraternal Lincoln sage naturally cannot be labeled as treacherous.
Although Britain and France have done a lot of things like trapping rebels, it is still too rough to make a scene known to the world.
Abraham Lynn Wisdom Ken can't do such rough things.
The so-called Emperor Daiming is of course a joke, but he is the best backdrop for the president's show.
This time, the great, civilized, rule of law, and eternally correct American Federation will definitely send this Emperor Ming to the gallows carefully and in accordance with procedural justice!
But before that...
Lincoln raised his head and said to his life secretary: "Michael, my youngest son Willie has completed three courses of acupuncture and electrotherapy. According to the agreement, he will be discharged from the hospital next weekend. You can go to New York and help me treat him. Take it back.
I haven't seen him for so long, I really miss him, hey, for this country, I have given everything...
By the way, by the way, please help me buy some shipping stocks..."
Lincoln signed several checks, and handed over all his property and a note with the names of several stocks to his confidant secretary.
Hehe, the outside world is still not clear about the news that the Mississippi River will be completely connected due to the resolution of the East Shoshone incident. At this time, buying related stocks in advance is not a waste of money?
President Lincoln, who suffered a huge loss in the stock market last year, said that this time he must make a lot of money!
At least you have to earn a pension that you can enjoy your old age in peace!
Chapter 264 Zhu Fugui's Little Gamble
As the days passed, an invisible anxious atmosphere permeated the Fugui Palace.
Imperial Room.
Xiaolan is carefully making handmade sushi for His Majesty.
She knew that Long Live Lord didn't like fish, but only crabs. Like the great calligrapher Cai Jing, he especially loved crab roe.
Therefore, among Xiaolan's polished rice wrapped in seaweed, the soft and soft stuffing is the golden and tender crab roe.
Old Eunuch Li moved in, sighing.
He took out the last night's night snack from the refrigerator - half a pig's ear soaked in honey water.
The rich and noble second generation bred in this Zhicunxi has high meat yield, disease resistance, lean and suitable, and is very popular in pig farms.
Especially those big ears like cattail fans are most suitable for nourishing the elderly.
But the pig's ears, which were full of body fluids in the past, didn't taste much in Lao Li's mouth at this time.
