I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Donald put his notebook away and started to pack other luggage.

This "Journey to the East of General Sangui" will be the first-hand information of the Ming Empire on the east coast of North America, and even Latin America, and it is quite valuable to the empire.

After 15 minutes, Donald stepped off the cruise ship under the reluctant eyes of the waitress.

Although as a first-class VIP, Donald had a separate room and good food along the way, but it has to be said that the fatigue of the journey still made him want to find a hotel as soon as possible.

However, when he just set foot on the pier, he faintly heard his name.

Looking up, I saw a boy as thin as a monkey holding a sign and yelling: "Dear Representative Donald, Dear Representative Donald, please contact me if you hear it!"

Donald straightened his clothes, stepped forward and asked, "Did Mrs. Julie hire you to wait for me here?"

"Are you Mr. Donald? Great, please come with me!" The kid quickly and respectfully brought Donald to a park bench, "Please wait a moment!"

"and many more!"

Donald stopped the brat and handed over a five-cent note, "Go!"

"Thank you, Mr. Donald! My name is Jack. If you have chores here in the future, please arrange for me to do them!"

With that, Jack ran away.

After about 10 minutes, a stylish internal combustion engine car slowly parked in the park.

"You are Mr. Donald?"

Steve Vanderbilt got out of the car and looked at Fatty Tang cautiously.

To be honest, Comrade Donald, who was just a down-and-out small businessman and clerk for a long time in his life, still lacks some temperament of a big capitalist.

Temperament is a very metaphysical thing.

There is a long-running joke:

At a banquet, a rich man present said to Mark Twain: "Can you see which eye of mine is fake?" Mark Twain looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "The left eye." Surprised, he asked how he could tell.Mark Twain said: "Because there is only a little kindness in this eye."

Zhu Fugui is the guardian of conscience and virtue in the world. As Zhu Fugui's close minister, Donald's eyes are naturally shining with kindness!

Well, the above is all bullshit.

In fact, Donald has been in the west for a long time, and he has more or less a red-necked temperament on his body. He doesn't look like a big shot who can negotiate hundreds of thousands of dollars in business.

At this time, not only Steve was suspicious in his heart, but Donald was also beating drums in his heart.

He originally thought that Mrs. Julie was just an ordinary rich man's widow.

But from the moment the internal combustion engine car appeared in front of him, Donald knew that things were not that simple.

When a person is nervous, a fat man over 200 pounds like him will naturally start to sweat.

This is even more suspicious in Steve's eyes.

But at this moment, because the sweat was about to drip into his eyes, Donald subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat.

This time, Steve Vanderbilt, a rich man, stayed on the spot.

I saw a watch protruding from the cuff of Donald's not-so-expensive suit.

This watch is not a luxurious gold, but a faint silver light.

Ordinary people, even ordinary rich people, would not notice the material of this watch. Even if they saw it, it would be regarded as silver or even tinplate.

But Steve was different.

Although he was the most ineffective son in the eyes of old Vanderbilt, his surname was Vanderbilt anyway.

He could tell at a glance that the strap of that unremarkable watch was definitely made of aluminum!

Aluminum, wealth from the earth, the most expensive metal in the world!

Use aluminum to make the strap, my God, how can there be such a luxurious person in the world!

Ok……

Steve remembers his father owning several aluminum watches.

However, the old Vanderbilt locked these watches in the window for viewing.

Occasionally used to wear, but also on grand occasions to show identity.

But this fat man is obviously not the case.

He seems to regard this watch as a daily necessities.

Or it was hidden in the cuffs of the suit on purpose, but it was exposed inadvertently, without any meaning of using it as a status symbol.

At this time, Steve couldn't help remembering a phrase his daughter had said earlier: "pretend to be a pig to prey on the tiger".

It is said that this phrase, like "long time no see", is a Chinglish derived from the novel, meaning to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Steve didn't have the slightest liking for the Chinese, and he felt even more vulgar about Chinglish.

But at this moment, he felt that this phrase was very appropriate.

Especially the fat man in front of him looks like a pig no matter what he looks at.

But, this is a golden pig giving money!

Steve knew whether he could change the impression in his father's heart in one fell swoop, because of this ship transaction.

And the fat man who hides his secrets in front of him is his great nobleman!

Steve changed his previous suspicions and enthusiastically invited Donald to the car.

The car was headed directly to the old Vanderbilt estate.

Zhu Fugui was anxious about reaching the deal, but the Vanderbilt family was even more anxious.

Because with the approach of winter, according to the practice established in the past two years, there will be a big battle between the North and the South.

This time, Brigadier General Stonewall Jackson, the ancient god of the south, returns to the front line to face off against the rising general of the north, Colonel Robert King.

Chapter 129 The Complicated Situation in New York

One is a battle-tested military legend who shocked Virginia several times with fewer victories and more victories, and beat all the top students of West Point Military Academy to doubt their lives;

One is a fledgling young supernova who has won consecutive victories with the black corps and won control of several important towns with extremely low casualties in more than a dozen battles.

It can be said that when you meet your opponent, you will meet a good talent.

Therefore, neither the North nor the South dare to take it lightly.

Lincoln attached great importance to Robert King, a young man, and spared no expense.

Because of the many previous coaching changes, the military has already complained about Lincoln, a layman's micromanagement.

This made Lincoln realize the importance of having his own blood in the military.

Of course, according to the political system of the United States, the president definitely has no commanding power, but this does not prevent Lincoln from promoting "his own people."

Robert King was born in Massachusetts, his father was a state legislator, and he had a not-so-close but long-standing friendship with Lincoln.

Robert King's original rank was only captain, and it was Lincoln who promoted him all the way to the rank of colonel who could rival Brigadier General Stonewall Jackson.

The old Vanderbilt has received internal information from the White House that the federal government is about to invite bids for the equity of several large railways and the right to build roads for several trunk lines.

The purpose is to raise funds to support this big battle.

It can be said that Lincoln placed high hopes on this young man.

As for the capital group that is preparing to enter the railway industry, at this time, whoever has more cash flow in their hands will be able to win all.

It was precisely in such an urgent situation that Steve Vanderbilt came to pick up Donald in person without verification, and after judging that Donald had a profound background, he took him to see old Vanderbilt without reporting. Bilt.

Time is money, money is life!

But just as Donald wriggled his fat ass and squeezed into the classic car, suddenly there was a commotion on the pier.

I saw a group of fierce American soldiers separating the tourists on both sides.

"Which important official is this returning home?"

Steve curled his lips in displeasure, "It's just a bunch of dogs raised by us kind and responsible taxpayers, and they actually put on airs during the war!"

Since the independence of the United States, big capitalists and farmers have been very wary of authoritarian governments, fearing the emergence of political strongmen who can suppress them.

The reason why George Washington, the false founding father of the United States, abdicated so readily was because he was forced by these people to make things go wrong. It has nothing to do with whether he loves power or not.

Otherwise, his end is very likely to be the same as Louis XVI, the real founding father of the United States.

Of course, with the development of time, factory owners in the north gradually turned to hope to strengthen the federal government because they needed more public services such as railways, but this did not mean that the capitalists at the top allowed the government to have absolute power.

Now is the critical moment for the two sides to use war to compete with each other.

Donald is not some top-tier capitalist and has no feeling for it.

It's just out of the curiosity of ordinary people, I want to see what the high-ranking officials of the federal government look like, and whether they are half as heroic as Sleepy God.

However, what finally appeared in their field of vision was neither a dignitary nor a general.

But a strange man!

Why is he strange? This is because although he is a tall and thin white man, he is dressed in the service of a Qing Dynasty official, with a red-tasseled bamboo hat on his head and a braid at the back of his head.

He has deep-set eyes and a goatee beard that hangs down his lips.

If Zhu Fugui was here, he would immediately think of a white-skinned image—Fu Manchu!

The only difference between this man and Fu Manchu, apart from his more caucasian facial features, is that a pink hair dryer pig's head was painted on the chest where birds and beasts should have been painted.

The man did not disembark voluntarily.

He was escorted off the boat by a burly man.

The big man held the man down with one hand, and shouted in a voice that could be heard from almost the entire pier: "Master Potter, Doctor Potter, just accept your fate and work hard for our federal government. The benefits will be indispensable to you!"

That man was Potter, and it was Agent Brown who was holding him down.

Obviously, Brown has completed his task very well, and the White House also attaches great importance to this doctor with miraculous medical skills.

"Dream! I am a major military doctor of the Northern Virginia Army, and I don't accept kidnapping from you northerners!" Potter shouted loudly.

Brown hurriedly whispered: "Doctor Potter, it's a bit too much, don't bring the northerners, it will easily arouse public resentment..."

"Oh, sorry, I got into the drama a little bit!"

Potter nodded hastily, then pretended to be unyielding, and shouted loudly: "Confucius said, a loyal knight cannot be loyal to two lords, and two spoons cannot be inserted into a beautiful teapot, and you don't want to get my medical skills! "

……

Watching the two go away under the escort of the army, the passengers on the pier all asked each other about the origin of this strange man.

Someone soon recognized that this was the miraculous doctor who had become very popular in Richmond and cured Stonewall Jackson and many important officials in the South.

"So he was the one who cured Jackson? Well done, he must be shot. It was this guy who caused my stock to lose thirty points!"

"You can't say that. I think this doctor is really strong, defying power and capable. It's best for such a person to be pardoned!"

"Yeah, if he can open in New York or Washington, I will definitely visit his clinic. I heard that he doesn't need surgery to treat diseases, but can diagnose diseases with his magical middle finger!"

"That's right, I heard that the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty is also his patient, and they have a deep relationship, you understand!"

"So that's the case, no wonder we had to protest to the Qing Dynasty before..."

……

Listening to the discussions of the people on the pier, Donald was stunned.

If he's not mistaken, this guy in Manqing clothes is the dock doctor who stole a few boxes of Viagra and Cephalos from Sleepy God, right?

Donald had only met him twice before, and he really didn't see that he was such a tough guy. It's a pity that now it looks like he is about to be executed by the Lincoln government?

Donald shook his head, stuffed himself into the car, and didn't think about it anymore.

In fact, things are not the same as Donald thought.

Although Porter was indeed kidnapped by the northern government, he didn't mean that he would rather die than submit.

When a pistol was pointed at his head, Porter swore that he was already a good citizen who supported national unity and resisted regional division.

The White House also understands the value of a good doctor.

Especially now that Lincoln's youngest son is seriously ill and suffering, Lincoln urgently needs to find an excellent doctor.

Therefore, after mediation by the federal government, New York's Valhalla School of Medicine agreed to hire Porter as a tenured professor, and designated an entire building in the New York City Hospital as Dr. Porter's electroacupuncture special needs ward.
