Jiaqing Kingdom, Angel Castle Royal City.
In the Honmaru Palace of this Japanese-style castle, distinguished guests are visiting.
"Your Highness the King, Your Highness the Princess... If the Kingdom of Jiaqing wants to last forever, it cannot be too close to the United States! Now that the Emperor is still here, and the King is the uncle of the King of the United States, the Kingdom of Jiaqing can certainly be safe. But the King and The princess also has to think about future generations! In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a precedent for the countries surnamed Ji to annex and cannibalize each other. Moreover, the United States and the Jiaqing Kingdom are 20,000 miles away from the Ming Dynasty by sea. If anything happens, the Ming Dynasty will never be able to do so. There is nothing we can do! If the King and Princess can take advantage of the current opportunity, bravely march south and seize the Valley of Mexico, they can stay away from the United States and live in peace for a long time in the future!"
"Your Highness the King, Your Highness the Princess, in the country of the United States, there are those who are marching eastward and those who are marching southward. If the King and Princess are willing to lead the Gyeongju army and drive southward to Mexico City, ships, military expenses, equipment, and food and grass will be prepared. It's all right. Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind..."
The two distinguished guests who were speaking were Kong Xingfan and Chen Yonghua, and what they said... Well, it really didn't seem to come from the mouths of Ming Dynasty officials, but rather from the mouths of lobbyists from the Warring States Period.
Their words were simply trying to drive a wedge between the uncle-nephew relationship between Zhu Cihuan and Zhu Hehao!
But having said that, ever since Shimazu Nokichi suffered a big loss from Zhu Hehao, Zhu Cihuan and Shimazu Nokichi knew that this wealthy king was a very difficult character, otherwise they would not be able to control the United States of Xinzhou. Such a mob state!
Now that Zhu Cihong is still there, Zhu Hehao already wants to drive Jiaqingguo away. There will be a day in the future when Zhu Cihong is gone, and it would be wrong not to annex the Jiaqing Kingdom to the United States...
Of course, Zhu Cihuan and Shimazu Noyoshi are not ordinary Ming Dynasty vassal kings and princesses. The two of them are the founders of the Jiaqing Kingdom, the proper kings of the Warring States Period!
However, Zhu Cihuan and Shimazu Noyoshi did not dare to nod easily. After all, their Kaqing Kingdom was weak. If we did not count the nominal nobles living in the United States, the number of real Chinese people (mainly Japanese samurai) was only a few thousand households. Therefore, top-level mobilization It can also draw out the strength of a division.
So at this time, Zhu Cihuan and Shimazu Noyoshi just said nothing about Kong Xingfan and Chen Yonghua's proposal.
Kong Xingfan and Chen Yonghua just waited quietly.
"There are millions of people in New Spain..." Zhu Cihuan seemed unsure.
Shimazu Noyoshi also said: "If it were Xizhou, we would have sent troops..."
"How much oil and water does Xizhou have?" Kong Xingfan was also a Confucian who said "Benevolent people have love". He smiled and said to King Jiaqing, "The oil and water in New Spain are all in the Mexico Basin. Let's join hands to grab it. No, it's Bu Yiwei." Virtue. We in the United States do not want the land and people there, but give them to the king!"
What Kong Daru means is that the land and the working people who carry the labor will be given to Jiaqing State...and the gold, silver, wealth and beauties will be given to the partners on the United States side.
Chen Yonghua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the strength of the New Spain Kingdom's troops, because the King of the United States has formed two nomadic households and will soon march eastward to the Great Plains. Once the King of the United States moves eastward, New Spain must send troops to support New France. By then, The Port of Capulco and Mexico City will be empty and unprepared. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat them? Even if you can't defeat Mexico City, capturing the Port of Acapulco will be better than being bored in Fort Angel!
Once the Acapulco Port is acquired, won't all the prosperous coastal areas between Acapulco Port and Xizhou belong to the king? There are at least two million farming people there, all slaves of the king, the princess and the Gyeongju warriors..."
Samurai need serfs to live a good life!
However, there are no serfs on the territory of Jiaqing Kingdom, because all the East Asian immigrants there are armed people! No matter how sharp the samurai's sword is, when it comes to a flintlock gun, the sound of the gun is stunning!
Therefore, the Gyeongju warriors are also quite hard-working. The Gagyeong Kingdom implements the "one-collar-sufficient system". They are said to be warriors, but in fact they are peasant soldiers. And most samurai farms are not very profitable, only a few wineries are slightly better.
If they can really get two million, no, as long as they can get one million serfs, the Gyeongju warriors will become real warriors. From now on, they can ride on the necks of the working people and dominate...
"Will the King of United States really go on a large-scale eastward expedition?" Shimazu Noyoshi was still a little worried. She had been punished by Zhu Hehao and did not believe in this good nephew.
"Definitely," Kong Xingfan said with a smile, "The foundation of the King of the United States is not in the Gulf of America, the Po River Valley, the Flood River Valley and the Golden Gate Bay, but in the Great River Basin, in the Big Rock Mountains... in the United States. East!"
Although Zhu Hehao was the first monarch in the history of the United States, he was not the true founding king. The four states of the United States, China, Poland, and Canada were basically not developed by him. Only parts of the Great River Basin and the Big Rock Mountains to the east were opened up by him.
Therefore, most people in the United States do not really recognize him as the king! In the final analysis, the United States is still a mob state with no father and no king, but everyone has a gun!
Although Zhu Hehao relied on the support of his father Zhu Cixiang and his own skills to stabilize his position, it was impossible to truly convince people by relying on skills and power alone. Moreover, facing a group of well-endowed gun-toting mobs, suppression and bribery methods are not very effective.
The only one who can convince people is Dong Zheng!
Moreover, the Eastern Expedition can also give Zhu Hehao the opportunity to expand his basic base. Only when the basic base is large and people are convinced can Zhu Hehao's power and position be stable!
Zhu Cihuan turned his head and glanced at Shimazu Nokichi. Naikichi was sitting stiffly, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He seemed to be weighing the balance again and again. After a while, he considered it and said: "The battle to advance south should be fought steadily... It is better to cross the sea first and take Xizhou, then take Colima, and finally attack the port of Acapulco."
Shimazu Noyoshi wanted to proceed steadily and advance step by step to the port of Acapulco. She didn't dare think about Mexico City yet, but it was the heart of New Spain. If we really want to invade Mexico City, why don't Don Juan Jose fight with all his strength? New Spain has a population of several million. If we really fight, we can still have an army of 100,000. With the little capital of the Jiaqing Kingdom, how could it dare to venture into the Valley of Mexico?
And what Shimazu Noyoshi meant was what Zhu Cihuan meant!
He nodded heavily, "Gu Ye thinks we should proceed steadily... If the king of the United States agrees, then the lonely king will go to Kinmen City to make an oath with him in person!"
...
"We made an oath... Haha, it seems we have to go to Kinmen City!"
In the bedroom of the white house, the King of Hezhu, who was about to go to bed, received the report from Kong Xingfan and Chen Yonghua that was sent 600 miles away, so he leaned on the back of his big bed and read it. After reading it, he just After a few bitter sounds, he said to his wife Wu Ahuan: "This is what we do here in the New World!"
As he spoke, he handed the memorial to Wu Ahuan.
Wu Ahuan took the memorial and read it carefully... After reading it, he frowned and said, "Does the covenant still need to be approved by the United States Government?"
"Of course it must be approved!" Zhu Hehao said, "If the Uijeongbu government doesn't approve it, the covenant will be invalid!"
"They approved it, so we can't break the contract?" Wu Ahuan asked.
"We can't break the contract..." Zhu Hehao shook his head and smiled, "The Uijeongyo government will not welcome a king who breaks his promise. If Gu breaks the contract, the Uijeong government will definitely be in trouble with Gu everywhere in the future. . Ah Huan, please keep this in mind. We are not here in the Ming Dynasty. The United States is not ruled by kings, but is governed by parliament. Therefore, we can only govern the country by holding seats in the Uijeong government, and we cannot govern the country without the Uijeong government.
After the lonely king goes to war, you will be in charge of the country... You must behave well, and you must not oppose the public opinions and politics, nor allow yourself to be manipulated by them. "
"I know..." Wu Ahuan nodded, thinking: It is really not easy to govern this country without a father and a king!
Seeing his wife's worried look, Zhu Hehao smiled again and said: "Actually, a country without a father and a king also has good sides... Although those who discuss politics divide our rights, they also divide our responsibilities. !
Because they were also afraid that the armed mob below would cause trouble, they had to help us maintain the situation by coaxing and deceiving them. You don’t have to worry about any treacherous ministers and traitors among them, nor do you have to worry about the irresponsible deputies and completely messing up the country. "
