On this day, as usual, Donald looked at the mining area from the bunker for a while, and then smoked a Huazi.

Next, take a potion called "Rich and Lord Cola".

According to the mysterious oriental man, this potion has the effect of refreshing the mind and regulating the stomach and intestines.

Needless to say, after drinking for more than a month, Donald really felt that his nausea and hiccups every morning had disappeared.

Coupled with the big diamond hidden in the safe, Donald now has no resistance to cooperating with Chinese gangsters.

As a Jew, cooperating with Chinese gangs is also cooperating, and cooperating with Italian gangs is also cooperating. On the contrary, the former seems to be safer and the rewards are generous.

Therefore, Donald felt that he should hurry up on what Boss Zhu explained.

In terms of guns, he had purchased 40 more high-quality rifles with public accounts when reorganizing the mine guard team, which must have satisfied Boss Zhu.

In fact, Donald originally planned to pay for these guns himself.

But who knew the "Indians" here would be so fierce?

In the early days, they took away Chinese laborers and supplies, and now they have wiped out a small militia.

Such a terrible enemy, as a representative of the head office, it is reasonable to buy more high-quality rifles for self-defense, right?

With that group of unlucky ghosts as a footnote, Donald made another profit with reason and grounds, eating two things at once.

As for talking about people...

According to the information handed over by Henry Moore, Donald knew that the nearest piggy ship should arrive in a few days.

These days, only a small number of Chinese laborers went abroad as free people.

And more are going abroad through "contracts".

The so-called contract is just a fancy rhetoric, but it is actually slave labor that is slightly better than black slaves.

Nowadays, there are many foreign firms in the southeast coast, and these foreign firms are responsible for recruiting Chinese workers on behalf of them.

After recruiting Chinese laborers, the foreign firm handed over to the "piggy house" to be responsible for going to sea.

"Zizai House" is an illegal organization for human trafficking. They not only recruit Chinese workers through "contracts", but even directly kidnap them. This point, the Ming Emperor, who did not want to be named, has a deep understanding.

As for the long sea voyage, it is a nightmare.

People call these ships dedicated to transporting Chinese laborers "piggy ships", also known as "floating hells on the sea".

Piggy boats are often poorly equipped, and the sanitary conditions are even more worrying.

The space in the cabin is small, and the Chinese workers can only squat, eat rotten food, and are often abused and tortured by the sailors.

Many Chinese laborers died on the ship before reaching their destination. In this case, the ship owner would directly throw the body into the sea.

Under such circumstances, the "death rate" of the piglet ship is higher this time, which should be very reasonable.

At that time, as long as one or two percent of the profits are distributed to those greedy captains, Donald will naturally be able to send the "dead" Chinese workers to Boss Zhu without anyone noticing.

……

After smoking Huazi and drinking Coke, Donald felt that his teeth became stronger again.

After casually eating the breakfast prepared by the servant, he picked up today's newspaper.

Truth be told, reading newspapers was not a daily habit for Donald.

Still, he was very curious about the letter addressed to the headquarters of the New Britain.

Can a Chinese gang leader also contribute to a newspaper?

Donald was deeply suspicious.

Wiping his mouth, Donald opened the newspaper with his big greasy hands.

Oddly enough, the headlines were not about the American Civil War.

[The stupid and arrogant Japanese government openly provoked the civilized world, and warships from Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, and France bombarded Shimonoseki]

Japan?

Donald frowned, where is Japan?

Is it in the southwest of China?

Donald was originally not interested in the affairs of these eastern countries who knew where they were.

But he was also doing things for Asians anyway, so Donald couldn't help but read the news carefully.

After looking at it, he realized that this country called Japan is really not small, about the size of the British Isles (at this time Japan has not officially incorporated Hokkaido into its territory).

And these little dwarfs are the subjects of the emperor in name, but in fact the ruler is the shogun.

It was this shogun who didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and actually ordered to destroy the barbarians, and even bombarded American and French merchant ships.

It really broke my conscience.

……

In fact, Donald was really misled by the scribbled British newspapers.

This time in the Xiaguan War, the shogunate did announce the rejection of the barbarians, but it was actually forced.

Like the decadent Manchu Qing government, facing the impact of Western powers, the Japanese shogunate also chose to compromise, and the country's gate was opened under strong ships and sharp guns.

Due to the various privileges of foreigners in the country and the dumping of industrial goods to destroy the small peasant economy caused social unrest, the anti-barbarians who criticized the shogunate's founding policy took advantage of the situation.

In particular, the 31-year-old Emperor Xiaoming was somewhat of a cynical youth, and he was extremely disgusted with foreigners.

This further fueled the momentum of the anti-barbarian faction.

Just last year, Nagai Gagaku, who advocated the integration of public and military forces (that is, the union of the shogunate and the emperor), lost power.

Therefore, in the stronghold of the anti-bones of the Changzhou Fan, the theory of respecting the king and fighting barbarians centered on the middle and lower-level clan became the theory of the clan.

This group of ronin and samurai frequently assassinated foreigners and attacked merchant ships, which caused me a lot of trouble for the Qing Dynasty, oh no, for the shogunate government.

Just last month, the shogunate government paid 44 U.S. dollars in compensation to the United Kingdom for the murder of a British citizen in Satsuma.

In short, this movement is somewhat similar to the Boxers.

In the end, under the gushing public opinion, the shogun was forced to declare that he would fight against the barbarians and go to war with the West.

It's just that, whether it's the corrupt Qing court or the corrupt shogunate, no matter whether they have the determination to fight against the barbarians or not, what awaits them is definitely a failure.

The complicated domestic political situation in Little Japan is beyond comprehension even by Chinese teachers, let alone Westerners at this time.

When the editor of "New Britain" wrote this news, his eyes were basically darkened and he played freely.

Donald looked lonely, shook his head and decided not to think about the little broken island.

He turned to the second page, eager to see if Zhu Fugui's manuscript was accepted.

Sure enough, an eloquent text jumped into view.

[Ten defeats in the north, ten victories in the south]

【A moral person will have many friends to help, a despicable person will have no friends to help】

……

An article of several thousand words about the direction of the Civil War and the Northern Army's spring and summer offensive this year was printed in the center of the page.

And the author of the article is signed "Knell", which is "Death Knell"!

Chapter 066 Butterfly Wings

For whom does the death knell toll?

The death knell is naturally tolling for both the North and the South.

As the saying goes, watching the excitement is not a big deal, Zhu Fugui would like them to turn the world upside down.

The main purpose of writing this article is to play with Citigroup North and South, and earn some cultural value by the way, without any foresight at all.

Unexpectedly, the British editor of the newspaper liked Zhu Fugui's point of view very much, and the article was published naturally.

As a world-renowned shit stirrer, the British naturally hope that the American Civil War will last as long as possible.

You must know that due to the popularity of rifled rifles, and the North and the South are still obsessed with the line tactics of queuing up and shooting, this American Civil War is actually one of the most high-mortality wars in human history.

Let's put it this way, in this war that lasted for more than 4 years, the North and the South died a total of 75 people. It was death, not casualties.

This is the highest number of war deaths in the history of the United States, including World War I and World War II.

Not only that, our country's Liberation War has been fought for three years, and the total death toll is only about 60.

It can be said that this Civil War was a war that spilled human blood in North America.

And that only lasted four years.

If it is really like what Zhu Fugui said in the article, if we fight a protracted war for ten or eight years, then the final death toll will definitely exceed 100 million.

This is a million young adults!

How many people does Midi have now!

Thinking of so many children in Milijian bid farewell to their parents, set foot on the battlefield, never heard from them again, and never came back, and the childhood sweethearts in their hometown could only hold black men in their arms at midnight and miss their lovers, Zhu Fugui laughed out of sadness under the quilt said.

But how long the war has been going on and to what extent, Zhu Fugui feels that this cannot be changed by simply posting meritorious deeds in the newspaper.

Presumably, this little butterfly of my own, even if I flapped my wings desperately in Seattle, it shouldn't change the overall situation...

However, what Zhu Fugui did not expect was that the connection of things was far more complicated than he imagined...

……

At this moment, in the Army of Northern Virginia garrison far away in Chancellorsville, there is an atmosphere of mixed joy and sadness.

Joy at victory, sorrow at the death of their bravest general.

During the just-concluded Battle of Chancellorsville, the Army of Northern Virginia walked 12 miles of mountain roads and unexpectedly arrived at the back of the camp of the 11th Army of the Union.

Under the heroic command of the Confederate First Commander-in-Chief, General Robert Lee, and the Confederate First Baturu Stonewall Jackson, the [-]st Northern Virginia Army launched a line charge.

By the time the lazy Union Army realized the enemy was approaching and hurriedly took up arms, time was running out.

There was no way for them to form a tight formation in a panic.

Without being able to form a tight formation, they would not know how to fight and lose the courage to face the enemy.

When the army in white shirts, khaki suspenders, delicate red scarves around their necks, and yellow round caps appeared like a wall on the ridge, the soldiers of the Northern Army let out panicked shouts :

"With a red scarf around his red neck and a high-quality waterproof military bag on his back, damn it, it's the Page Legion!"

"The elite division of the Southerners!"

"Run!"

……

The fighting lasted from afternoon to night.

After the initial panic, the Northern Army once organized some resistance.

Although they had an advantage in numbers, after losing the opportunity, one stronghold after another was wiped out by the Southern Army.

Stonewall Jackson told General Robert Lee that the 11th Army is the elite of the federal army, and many of its commanders are talented students from the West Point Military Academy.

Robert Lee agreed to Stonewall Jackson's plan.

But like their descendants on the Korean battlefield 100 years later, these American soldiers were not good at fighting at night.

Stonewall-Jackson's plan ended up killing him.

After a fruitful 2-mile pursuit, Stonewall Jackson decided to return to camp with his army.

However, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of god-like opponents, but you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

The 18th North Carolina Regiment of the Confederate Army, which had disappeared during the battle, arrived late at this time.

They did not immediately communicate with General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, but joined the pursuit of the Northern Army.

Historically, this group of pig teammates mistook Stonewall Jackson and other generals who were riding first for the Union Army, and fired wildly from 75 yards away.

Stonewall Jackson was shot three times but survived the scene.

But amputation and a lung infection ultimately killed him.

In this lifetime, Stonewall Jackson apparently had much better luck.
