I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 25 Zhu Houzhao: This Mei Xuanzong Jackson is well-deserved!
Andrew Jackson.

He is definitely an important president that cannot be avoided in the early days of the United States.

Because, he broke the founding father family's monopoly on the president.

Lincoln was in the Republican Party. Although he had always been hostile to the Democratic Party, it had not yet reached the stage of fierce and mindless confrontation between the parties.

He admires Jackson more.

Therefore, after this opening, he immediately adds what Jackson has left out.

[Mercy Lincoln: Mr. Jackson, he should be, no, he is the first president of the United States to be successfully elected based on his military exploits! 】

[First, during the Second War of Independence, he defeated the British army at the Battle of New Orleans. At that time, Jackson's troops were only half the number of British troops. In the end, Jackson gained the initiative in the battle with inferior troops. In this battle, Jackson showed amazing military talent and caused heavy losses to the British army. A total of 2000 people were killed, wounded, and captured, while Jackson's troops only 13 people were killed and 58 were injured or missing, which greatly enhanced our national pride! The sun never sets! We defeated the British army head-on for the first time! 】

[After this battle, Jackson became a combat hero in the hearts of people across the country]

[Subsequently, he won a larger-scale Seminole War with the Indians and successfully expelled those Indians. 】

[He led us to successfully annex Florida, opened up territory for us, and gained a state. 】

[After becoming president, he strengthened the presidential power and carried out official reform to allow more civilians to have votes! Giving nearly all whites a vote. 】

[The era of his administration is called the Jacksonian Democracy Era. 】

[Also, he approved the implementation of a ten-hour working day for workers! 】

The era of Jackson was during the period of great changes in the American Industrial Revolution. The westward expansion movement was in full swing, and industry and agriculture were advancing hand in hand. Jackson did not explicitly oppose industry, but instead supported domestic industry. As a result, the United States gradually accumulated strength at this stage and surpassed Japan. Not falling.

These are some of the things Lincoln admired.

Even if he gets to Jackson's level, he may not be as good as Jackson.

Because he has many American firsts.

The first civilian-born president!

The first president born in a log cabin!

The first president from the Appalachian West!

The first president to ride a train while in office!

The first president to survive an assassination attempt.

Jackson was also the last president to have fought in the Revolutionary War and the only one to have been a prisoner of war.

During Jackson's administration, for the first time, the United States had no foreign debt and no money owed.

[American Taizu Washington: This...Jackson, you are actually a civilian...or a general, and you defeated the British army head-on? Less wins more? After becoming president, what else have you done? This, this is much better than me! 】

Washington was a little surprised, not expecting Jackson to have such a rich resume.

It's simply an enhanced version of him.

[Louis XVI: A civilian can become president... You, the United States, are really a bunch of grassroots people. 】

Louis XVI complained a little about this. The aristocratic and royal thoughts in his bones were still somewhat ingrained. He still felt that it was a bit childish for a commoner to become the head of a country.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Although what Mr. Lincoln said is true, in fact... I am not that good, and I also have many shortcomings. For example, I don’t like reading and I have no education. I just do my own thing in every position. 】

Jackson was more modest and not too proud of Lincoln's praise.

After all, he was born in the military and was an American hero. He was used to these small scenes of praise.

prisoners of war.

General. president.

As a mortal, he eventually became an emperor.

Zhu Houzhao also had many surprises. The resume of Mei Xuanzong could be regarded as the resume of Taizu.

A person quickly appeared in his mind, Shi Le, the late Zhao Gaozu during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties!
He was born in a humble manner and never read or read, but he rose from being a slave to an emperor and created the Hou Zhao Dynasty!

After becoming the emperor, Shi Le worked hard to govern. He even created the system of selecting officials by examination, which was a hundred or two hundred years earlier than the imperial examination system pioneered by Yang Jian.

This Jackson is both civil and military!
Although he is not Taizu, he has many similarities with Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of this dynasty.

Also, similar to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Bing had been in prison after all. In a sense, he was also a civilian.

After taking the throne, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also expanded his territory and established the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Zhu Houzhao was naturally fond of such an emperor who was both civil and military.

Suddenly, there was a big change in the mediocre Jackson in the group.

Emperors with both civil and military skills are rare in history. They can bring peace to the world with their writing skills, and they can immediately change the world with their military skills. They can create a career wherever they go.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have discovered a treasure. He felt that the current Jackson was the only American emperor he could see.

No, he admires the emperor immediately.

[Mercy Zu Lincoln: It is indeed true. Although Mr. Jackson is so excellent, you... still have many shortcomings, such as being arrogant, authoritarian, and domineering. However, these are all fine. The only thing that people criticize you for is that you are not good at economics and have almost zero economic vision, especially your move to abolish the Second National Bank, which triggered great economic turmoil in 37 years and even an economic crisis. , leaving countless people bankrupt and homeless. 】

Lincoln also immediately talked about Jackson's other shortcomings.

No one is perfect. Jackson was considered a hexagonal president, but he knew nothing about economics.

The abolition of the Second National Bank, which represented the national credit system, once caused the economic collapse of the American empire.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Huh? What? What does my abolition of the Second National Bank have to do with the bankruptcy and even displacement of countless people? 】

Human limitations have emerged. When the old story about Lincoln was mentioned again and the consequences of exposure were revealed, Jackson was a little surprised and confused.

Zhu Houzhao was also stunned.

What, such an almost perfect emperor still has shortcomings?

What is economic perspective?

What is the Second Bank? financial crisis?

Zhu Houzhao wanted to express his admiration, but what Lincoln revealed left him confused as a monk.

There is no way, Emperor Ming.

No, it should be that most feudal emperors have no economic sense.

[Merezu, Louis XVI: Is there a problem with abolishing the Second Bank? Isn’t it just a bank? Those bankers are quite greedy. Wouldn't it be better to abolish them? 】

Similarly, Louis XVI also exposed the shortcomings of economic novices.

[American Taizu Washington: Wait...abolition of the bank seems to have a great impact on the country's credit. I remember Hamilton said that the national bank is a representative of credit. Once it is abolished, the consequences may be disastrous. Lincoln...please tell us how the consequences caused people to be displaced. 】

Washington does know a little bit, but not much. After all, it has not witnessed the economic crisis with its own eyes.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: National Credit? I think paper money is very bad. Bankers can print as much as they want. Paper money is far inferior to gold and silver. After all, they are truly visible and tangible wealth. In addition, by closing the Second Bank, our federal budget is also deposited in designated state banks. There should be no problem, right? 】

Jackson spoke uncertainly about his basic understanding of the economy.
