I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 24 The American Emperor Harrison! Jackson: The first civilian president!

"what's the situation?"

"Can you still be the leader of the alliance at the age of 61?"

"Also...all the founding heroes became alliance leaders?"

"What's going on in America?"

"Virginia is the land of prosperity in the United States? Little Virginia has produced so many presidents?"

"Can all the heroes of Huaixi be addicted to being emperors?"

He didn't care about Jackson's slightly unhappy tone. The American emperors he revealed made Zhu Houzhao's perception a little shaken.

Even if he had previously understood that the foreign regimes of Liao and Mongolia had a system of electing leaders, it was only the capable ones who were elected.

But often this system will be transformed into a hereditary system by a certain strong leader and passed on to his sons.

But in Jackson's narration, he was surprised to find that several of the founding heroes of the United States... all took turns to become the president who was similar to the leader of the alliance.

He even almost inherited his father's legacy. When John Quincy Adams came out, Zhu Houzhao thought it had finally become a hereditary system.

But the next Jackson was not satisfied with Quincy Adams and even complained, letting Zhu Houzhao know that Jackson was not Quincy Adams' son.

Even Jackson's revelation that he did not become president until he was 61 years old shocked Zhu Houzhao.

Come to Jackson, it has been 60 years since the founding of the United States. The first 60 years were controlled by the group of founding heroes, and it was only here that it passed into the hands of outsiders.

Is such a power change okay? Can it be done?
With the inheritance and development of this kind of people with different surnames, can America get better and better?

This is a bit out of the ordinary.

This is similar to when Xu Da, Tang He and others who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang became emperors.

Who in the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains can accept this situation?
Even when Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the royal family name to Yuan, it was met with collective opposition and resistance from the royal family!
This kind of system that can accept outsiders as alliance leaders is somewhat beyond Zhu Houzhao's imagination.

He immediately discovered that there were many questions recorded on the paper, and he wanted to interrupt their chat and ask them a question.

but……

He held back.

Look first, look first.

[American Taizu Washington: Jackson, there is nothing to be angry about. The situation I encountered was much more aggrieved than yours. Didn’t I become president at the age of 57? Sometimes, some beautiful mistakes may make life more exciting. 】

Jackson's dissatisfaction was also felt by Washington, and he immediately comforted this colleague who had been hurt by his friend's son.

[Mercy Lincoln: Mr. Washington is right, everything is God’s best arrangement. I became president at the age of 51. All setbacks will make you greater, won't they? You are still a soldier, don’t you have any courage at all? 】

Lincoln also quickly comforted him.

[Louis XVI of Merezu: 61 years old, 51 years old... As president, do you have to be old to be president? At this age, he is almost the same as my cabinet ministers. You, the president, are equivalent to our cabinet ministers? Aren't you afraid that you won't last long and will die in office? 】

Fortunately, Louis XVI and Zhu Houzhao had almost the same mentality, and he asked Zhu Houzhao's doubts.

[American Taizu Washington: His Majesty Louis XVI, our president is indeed different from your king system. When we first established this system, we set restrictions in Article 35 of the Constitution. Those who want to be our president must be an American citizen. Second, they must be elected from among members who are over years old and have certain experience in governing. Under the protection of such a system, those elected are actually equivalent to your cabinet ministers or prime ministers. 】

Washington immediately explained.

Got it!
The prime minister starts from the state and county, and the fierce general starts from the army!
Zhu Houzhao also understood at once that the president was equivalent to the chief minister of their cabinet or the previous prime minister. Looking at the prime ministers of so many dynasties, most of them are older, because they need time to get involved in officialdom and gain seniority.

At the same time, after experience in officialdom, these people are more restrained and rational than young people when they are governing the country at this time.

[Mercy Lincoln: Your Majesty Louis XVI, you are right to worry... My previous Whig President Henry Harrison died in office just 32 days after he became president because he was too old. superior. He is the first president of the United States to die in office so far. 】

Lincoln also answered Louis XVI's doubts by the way.

This……

It really does.

Then this Harrison, can't he be called the American Emperor?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the United States would have a short-lived emperor in less than ninety years after its founding.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Did Harrison really become the president later? He died in office after only 32 days? 】

Jackson's attention was also attracted. Unexpectedly, this guy became the president?

[American Taizu Washington: Ah, Harrison also became president? But only for 32 days? 】

Washington was surprised again. After all, he also knew Harrison because Harrison was a delegate to the First Continental Congress and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Mr. Washington, you are mistaken. This Harrison is the son of Benjamin Harrison, not the Harrison you know. 】

With a headache, Zhu Houzhao felt that there were too many characters.

If this guy hadn't been the Meishang Emperor, he would have almost lost his memory.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Hey, you are off topic. Who is this Harrison? Shouldn't we be talking about Jackson now? Jackson, you continue to tell your story, why do you talk about so many unrelated people. Since they are all presidents, let them speak for themselves after they join the group. 】

Louis XVI simply became Zhu Houzhao's mouthpiece and helped him get back to the topic.

[Supreme group leader: Please follow the chat topics, and talk less about irrelevant people. 】

Zhu Houzhao also reminded him at the right time. The paper was almost full, and his mind was a little confused for a while.

[American Taizu Washington: Well, we seem to have really gone off topic. If you continue talking, I’m afraid I won’t recognize you either. Jackson, let’s talk about you. Since you became the president at the age of 61, we should have seen which family is behind you? 】

Washington also changed the subject. He really didn't understand Jackson.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Mr. Washington, I have met you, but you may not remember me. Because, during the Revolutionary War, I was just an ordinary uneducated boy in the North Carolina wilderness. At the age of 13, I joined the Continental Army. During the Revolutionary War, I was even a prisoner of war, my family members all died, and I was a civilian. I was 22 years old when you became president...]

[Then I was struggling to make ends meet and making money in the legal profession in a remote area. When Tennessee was established, I became the first congressman at the age of 23 and joined politics. 】

[At the age of 31, I became a justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court. 】

[Later, when we had a war with the Indians, I became a major general in the Tennessee militia and began my military career. 】

[At the age of 44, the Second War of Independence broke out, and I was able to establish military merit. Later, I became the first governor of Florida and then ran for president. However, it was probably because I had no family background. He failed in his first election campaign at the age of 57, and he only became president at the age of 61. 】

Jackson was also very straightforward and briefly talked about his experience.

[Mercy Lincoln: Mr. Jackson, you are still modest and reserved. Mr. Washington and His Majesty Louis XVI, you don’t know that Jackson is the first civilian president of the United States. He is also a great combat hero and a true general! 】

The parts he concealed were quickly supplemented by Lincoln.
