Of course what the local tyrant king said was not a lie.
Of course he trusted Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi... The local tyrant king was not a "wise king" trained in the palace. Instead, he went to elementary school, middle school, and martial arts hall with Yingtian's noble disciples. He also served as a platoon leader, company commander, joined the army in the army, and became an "old Jianghu king" in the local magistrate. Moreover, the "island owners" who went to the United States of New Zealand to start a business with Zheng Xi were basically his alumni, and some were even classmates.
Why does he have to worry about these scumbag students?
What really worries him are the hundreds of thousands of gun-toting mobs in the United States!
Therefore, he still needs to unite the island owners and suppress the mob together. If we really kill all the island owners and dismiss the United States Parliamentary Government. He was alone, how could he sleep peacefully in the face of so many gun-wielding mobs?
As for confiscating the guns of the gun-toting mob, it won’t work! There are millions of Indians on the mountains and plains to the east. They have been fighting the Spanish and English for more than a hundred years. They have not yet been destroyed, so you know what kind of ruthless people they are.
In addition, the hostility of New Spain and New France towards the United States of New Zealand is also obvious! The war can be said to be about to break out, and Zhu Hehao still needs the help of the mob to fight the war!
Of course, just because he has confidence in the "island owners" does not mean that he will let the island owners take advantage of him... These are two different things!
He owns 30% of the "shares" in the United States of New Zealand and is the largest "shareholder". He cannot be absent from his position as the hands-off shopkeeper.
And he, an "old Jianghu", also knows what people's hearts are like... The ministers are all very cunning, and no one will serve the public whole. Most of the ministers, especially the island owners who have "shares", Nor is he bent on tearing apart the United States. Without the United States, where would they be island masters? To discuss politics?
What everyone wants is just a balance between public and private concerns.
The main business of Zhu Hehao, the king, is to achieve balance.
Not only must a balance be struck between the island owners and the royal power of the United States, but also a balance must be struck between the upper class and the middle and lower classes of the United States...
The local tyrant king was already standing on a high platform, surrounded by a circle of Old Guards and "sister-in-law soldiers". The Old Guards guarding the door also opened the large iron fence door and blocked the United States that was blocked outside the door. The Chinese let hundreds of people in and asked them to gather around the stage where the rich king was sitting and listen to the rich king's speech.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were even more dumbfounded - what does the rich king mean? Why do we need to talk directly to the people? Is this to engage in people's political discussions?
There is no such rule in the United States... The government of the United States is "the government of the island owner", not the people of the country!
The local tyrant king glanced at the two "island owners" whose faces were getting greener and greener, then coughed, and the old guards around him took out their whistles and blew them fiercely. The people in the country who were talking a lot immediately knew that their king had something to say, and they all fell silent.
The local tycoon king loudly said: "My fellow countrymen, I am the king of Hezhong, Hehao. Following my father's imperial edict, I came to Xinzhou, and worked with you to expand the vast land on the east coast of the Pacific. It is truly a blessing for me. Suigu Along with Wang, there were tens of thousands of Sichuan military families, 2,000 families of the Old Guards, and 500 Japanese retainers, all of whom came with their families.
When Gu Wang was in the Ming Dynasty, he heard that there were many men and few women in Xinzhou. Many decent men had no wives to accompany them and could not raise children and spread their branches. Therefore, the solitary king selected 600 beautiful girls who were well-educated and well-educated from the families of Sichuan military households and Japanese retainers, ordered the princess to marry them, took them to Xinzhou, and then selected Xinzhou men for them. Good son-in-law... These 600 girls are just the first batch. In the future, Gu will do his best to arrange for more girls to come to Xinzhou to get married. Regardless of their previous backgrounds, these girls will become the princess's sister and the orphan's wife and sister when they arrive in Xinzhou. I hope that the man who is lucky enough to marry them can join hands with them and never leave them until they grow old! "
This is to send my wife!
The group of people from the United States surrounding Zhu Hehao were all excited after hearing their king's speech!
The king of the United States turns out to be a wise king!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Thousand Years Old..." Someone had already taken the lead in cheering, and then more people cheered along.
Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi, who were standing under the high platform, glanced at the person who led the cheers. It turned out to be one of the two daydreaming brothers named Wang... Isn't it just a wife? It's useful. So happy? Besides, there are still exams to take! You two don't look smart, can you pass the exam?
Zhu Hehao raised his right hand and waved it.
The Old Guards blew their whistles again, and the cheering people below gradually became quiet again.
Zhu Hehao said again: "Everyone, there are only 600 daughters of military households and retainers who came with the lonely king, but there are at least 100,000 single and unmarried men in Xinzhou... so the lonely king The only way to select the best husbands for these 600 women is through examinations. All citizens of the United States of New Zealand who are under 40 years old and have never married can come to take the examination and the top 600 will be chosen to participate in the blind date. If not Don’t be discouraged, there will be a new recruitment exam in the future..."
As a citizen of the United States, there are three things that you cannot escape. The first is taxes, the second is death, and the third is exams!
Wang Shanyou, who had just taken the lead in shouting slogans, suddenly asked loudly: "Your Majesty, what are the tests for the marriage recruitment exam?"
Zhu Hehao smiled: "Of course we have to take a test on Wen, Tao and Military Strategy! Wen's test is on Confucianism and arithmetic, and Wu's test is on target shooting and spears!"
Wang Shanyou and Wang Liangyou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time - they could finally get wives. Although there are 100,000 people competing for 600 places, the admission rate is definitely very low, but they are still confident.
Because the two of them can be regarded as talented people in both literature and martial arts, there is no problem with Confucianism and arithmetic... They are teachers at Washington College! As for target shooting and lance, they can also take a few lessons. There are military classes in Washington College, and the two of them are teachers, so of course they have to learn a few lessons.
Zhu Hehao continued: "However, it is impossible for so many men without wives in Xinzhou to get married and start a business by relying on hundreds of hundreds of orphans to select the daughters of military households and retainers... If you want someone, People have wives, so we still have to find ways to introduce farmers from the Ming Dynasty who have daughters. And if we want to introduce a large number of farmers, we have to open up more land that can be granted. But now the fields around the Gulf of America and the Po Valley are all owned. If you want to grant more fields, you have to go eastward!"
Going east?
Is this going to be a war?
Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were even more surprised!
This is wrong!
War is a major military matter! The king of the United States does not need to go to the political council to tell his sister-in-law that he wants to marry his sister-in-law. The political council does not discuss the issue of who his sister-in-law will live with, but it is different with the Kaijiang platform to the east.
Zhu Hehao glanced at his two loyal ministers and suddenly raised his voice: "Gentlemen, most of the big river (Columbia River) basin in the east is still in the hands of barbarians, and there are many fertile valleys in the Dashi Mountains. Is it ok that in the hands of the barbarians... millions of us in the United States should be reduced to the Gulf, the Po and Flood valleys, and the Pacific coast?"
"no!"
"Can't agree!"
"Crunt against the barbarians..."
As expected, the Chinese people were incited and shouted loudly.
The local tyrant king nodded with satisfaction, he just wanted to fight!
Because once a war is launched, because war requires centralization of power! Once a war breaks out, the power of the local tyrant king will definitely increase. Once the war is won, his prestige will be greatly increased.
In fact, the targets of war chosen by the local tycoon kings are also soft persimmons, not New France or New Spain. Rather, it was the Indian tribes in the Great River Basin (Columbia Basin) and the Big Stone Mountains to the east.
The Great River Basin has actually been "drawn" into the United States of New Zealand, but actual control still belongs to several Indian tribes. As for the Big Stone Mountains, there are more Indians living in them... These Indians look like soft persimmons and should be easier to deal with.
