"Shao Mu, my prince brother won this naval battle, Queen Luo should be relieved."
Zhu Yixin handed the battle report to Lin Zexu next to him and smiled.
"The queen is worried that the king has made too many military exploits in North America, which is human nature."
Lin Zexu smiled a little reluctantly.
A royal thing.
It is best for ministers to have less involvement.
"It is unfounded to worry. I will only return to Han Dynasty a few times in the future. This great plain of North America is the place I want to pursue!"
Zhu Yixin said.
"The old man will send a staff team here. It seems that he is going to prepare for a big fight." As he said that, Zhu Yixin couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, the situation is favorable to us now. What are you still worried about?"
Zhu Yixin shook his head: "Bonus? It may not be beneficial. It is much easier for Europeans to cross the Atlantic than for us to cross the Pacific. If the Europeans send a large number of troops to North America, it will be quite troublesome, and the total population of North America is now, It’s still white people who dominate!”
"Yes, the United States has a standing army of 300,000 people. It is not a problem to mobilize one million to the maximum limit. If Britain and France have 500,000 combined troops, and Mexico mobilizes another one million, that will be 250,000. Ten thousand, the most we can mobilize here is one million." Lin Zexu shook his head, "One million versus two and a half million, it's really hard to fight."
"The old man will at least support my army of 500,000, but it is still 1.5 million versus 2.5 million." Zhu Yixin shook his head, "So, the early stage of the war is very critical. If you can seize the opportunity, try your best to start the war. It would be nice to kill more of their soldiers in the early stages.”
"Is this the purpose of the 50,000 elite cavalry formed by the king?"
"Yes! Do you think an attack of fifty thousand cavalry, plus me, the King of Ming and Qin, can become the biggest target of the white people?"
"The king wants to use his body as bait?"
Lin Zexu frowned.
"The United States is not easy to deal with."
The United States is certainly not easy to deal with now. ,
Because the United States at this time was not the loose federation that pursued isolationism and stayed in one corner in later generations.
The current United States has formed a continental country with a certain degree of centralization and a certain military tradition after the War of Independence and long-term confrontation with the Ming Empire.
The force they can muster is huge.
Especially in the past fifteen years.
The pace of railroad construction in the United States has been very rapid.
Several states along the Atlantic coast have developed dense rail networks.
The railroad also extended to the Missouri Plateau and the Colorado River Basin.
Huge transport capacity via rail.
The United States is able to quickly assemble hundreds of thousands of troops on the front lines.
On the Ming Dynasty, large-scale railway construction has also been carried out between the two governorates of Jinzhou and California, and the railway has connected the two governorates.
Moreover, the two sides adopted different railway specifications. The Ming Dynasty adopted broad gauge lines, while the American side adopted narrow gauge lines.
Railway lines of different specifications on both sides formed a confrontation on the Missouri Plateau. Conflicts between the residents on both sides of the border and the native Indians living in this area occurred almost every day.
so.
If the battle line is at the end of each side's respective railway lines.
It can be foreseen that this will be a very cruel meat grinder for Xingchen.
Both sides must expand their armies to put enough soldiers on a long front to maintain a confrontation of this scale.
It is worth mentioning that.
The railway construction in Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was actually quite fast.
And it was much smoother than Zhu Daohua imagined.
Not many people thought that the railway was something that destroyed Feng Shui and raised objections.
If someone really jumps out of the old trouble.
Northeast, Northwest, Southeast Asia, North America.
Even Siberia.
There are a lot of places for exile - the Ming Empire occupies such a vast land, even with hundreds of millions of people, the population density is now felt to be a bit low.
"Your Majesty, conflicts in border settlements are becoming more and more frequent now. It seems that the Americans are also ready for a war!"
Lin Zexu said.
Zhu Yixin took a deep breath.
"Time is running out! This autumn, the first war will begin! Now the Americans are also full of fighting spirit!"
"Now they have a Ku Klux Klan with extremely extreme methods. They may get a lot of votes in the next election."
"Let it be extreme, we are not afraid of it anyway!"
Just like the rampant nationalism in Ming Dynasty.
In the United States, white supremacy is more prevalent than in the United States historically.
After all, this is the chosen country, the promised land, in the eyes of the white Puritans in the United States, and it is impossible for them to give this land away.
The armies of both sides have not yet engaged in large-scale confrontations.
However, the civil conflict has intensified - especially as both sides begin to build settlements towards the contact line.
June 19, 1810 AD.
City of Helena on the Missouri River, Lewis and Clark County, Montana.
This is a very fertile valley area, very suitable for farming, and with the discovery of gold mines in the past few years, adventurers and gold prospectors from both the Ming and the United States began to go to the Prikli Pier Valley to prospect for gold.
Conflict is inevitable.
at the same time.
In order to compete for this valley area.
Immigrants from both sides cultivated fields and established settlements on both sides of the Missouri River.
More than ten years.
Instead, it made this place a place for direct trade between Ming and the United States.
The prosperity brought by trade also led to the formation of a city with a mixture of Han and European races.
The city of Helena was under American control.
However, there are still many Chinese businessmen and workers in the city - hard-working Chinese workers are the best labor force even for American capitalists.
But they are different from the Chinese workers who came to this land in history.
These Chinese came with guns!
In addition, just across the river from Missouri City, there are dozens of Chinese collective farms.
Therefore, in recent years, although there have been conflicts between Chinese and white people in Helena City, they have not been large-scale.
The top people haven't even started fighting, but the people below also want to make money.
but.
As the population of both sides continues to increase around the city of Helena.
There is not much wasteland left in the narrow Prikli Pier Valley.
Incremental reduction.
The two sides may then engage in a life-and-death stock competition.
And as the Ming Empire showed its ambitions for the North American continent.
Relations between the two parties have also continued to deteriorate.
As the American white supremacist Ku Klux Klan gained a majority of seats in the Montana Legislature, it became the largest party in the state.
The city of Helena began to impose many restrictions on Chinese workers and Chinese businessmen.
And what really triggered the large-scale conflict between the two sides.
It was the Helena Police Department and some Ku Klux Klan fanatics who asked the Chinese in a Chinatown in Helena to evacuate from the American town within a time limit - because the Montana State Assembly had passed a resolution banning Chinese from the town. If you purchase real estate within the country, the real estate you have already purchased must also be taken back! (End of chapter)
