I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 48 The development of the map of the United States is exposed! Zhu Houzhao was silent!
Cleveland's analogy is spot on.

In particular, the 1,000-man musketry unit is a metaphor for the era of fighting with swords in the Middle Ages.

Zhu Houzhao also quickly understood that the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Camp could become a big killer in the Tang Dynasty and Yu Wenyun's Northern Zhou Dynasty.

By then, even Li Shimin, the best general, would have to kneel down when encountering this kind of divine machine camp!

Same reason...

The development of science and technology allows a farmer who can only cultivate five acres of land to grow two hundred acres in one day!
Although Zhu Houzhao doesn't know what the liberation of productivity is, he knows what it means!
As long as there is enough land, the people of Ming Dynasty will not starve and freeze. More food means more soldiers!

It's not a bad idea for the Ming Dynasty to explode millions of troops at once.

Do not!
Not just this!

science and technology!

This is what Confucians call clever and obscene skills!
Their so-called ingenious skills turned the original sword war mode into a divine machine camp mode, and into a red cannon siege mode!

The so-called ingenious and obscene skills in their mouths actually made the Ming Dynasty's annual iron output far exceed that of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty...

and so!
This America could have destroyed the suzerain country without having a powerful force descend from heaven, or using the traditional means of lying down and tasting courage.

Instead, it only took a hundred years for the United States to be conquered by making full use of the ingenious and obscene skills that scholars despise and despise...

Instead of fighting a foreign war, there was a civil war!

Is it only because of the development of these wonderful and obscene skills that it was finally possible to develop to such a huge size in just thirty years after the end of the civil war?
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao used his knowledge and experience to try to deduce America's unique development and rise route.

After all, if technology were replaced by Kit Kat, Zhu Houzhao would understand.

Moreover, it is easy to understand that during this period of the Ming Dynasty, steel production also tended to be streamlined. There were even ironmaking workshops with hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not confirm it immediately.

Because he has never seen the United States that developed along a different path, and he doesn't know if his speculation is correct.

Therefore, he calmed down his shocked emotions a little and asked decisively.

[Supreme Group Leader: So...are you, America, so powerful? So, have you resolved...the party struggle, the struggle between central power and local power, the struggle between industry and agriculture? 】

Zhu Houzhao tried to find something unchanging between the United States and Ming Dynasty.

He has realized that the United States and Ming Dynasty are both the same country.

A country is still prospering after a hundred years, but the Ming Dynasty has become a bit decadent. What difference is there in the development of strange and obscene skills?
[American Taizu Washington: Yes...we are all so powerful, do these three things still exist? 】

Washington also suddenly thought of the issue of congenital diseases in the United States that had been discussed in the previous chat.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: This... President Washington, group leader, you asked me! This question... the first party struggle still exists, the second one, the central power struggle, also... and the industrial and agricultural struggle, are gone! 】

[American-British Sect: Cleveland: It’s a civil war! Although we still have these three contradictions, the Civil War led by President Lincoln alleviated these three contradictions to a certain extent! Party strife... has eased. In the battle for power, because the North won the Civil War, federal power was expanded and strengthened as never before, and state rights were suppressed for a time... In the battle between industry and agriculture, technological development has proven that industry is the backbone...]

[So, the Civil War... resolved most of the conflicts, allowing us to concentrate on development... and became the driving force for the development of our United States! In short, our United States is actually no different from other old world kingdoms. It is because of our use of technology, our citizens, their adventurous spirit, pioneering spirit, the westward development movement in the past hundreds of years, and their bold innovations. ! Only then can we, America, rise rapidly! 】

Cleveland summarized the important reasons for their rise.

Only technology and people are different!
In other respects, the United States is no different from the old empires of Germany and England.

now it's right!

Zhu Houzhao suddenly understood the difference between the United States and Ming Dynasty!

Just because of technology and people!

Not to mention technology!
people!
Talent is the most important thing!
What kind of people are in America!

Who are these people in Ming Dynasty! People like Ming Dynasty want them to have a pioneering and enterprising spirit. How funny?

Those sour rotten Confucians only think that the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is good, and they exclude everything else, including Mohist thought!

Let the clever and obscene skills that can help the development of Ming Dynasty become something despicable in their mouths.

Then use their set of doctrines of respecting teachers and respecting morality to imprison everyone, including him, the Ming Emperor!

So today's Daming is like a conservative old man who refuses to change. If he doesn't do something, Daming may really be doomed!

[Mercy Lincoln: Cleveland, how could the Civil War have so many benefits? Are all these you mentioned the qualitative changes brought about by our victory in the civil war? Isn't this too exaggerated? This made me feel that the important reason restricting the development of our United States... turned out to be the civil war! If civil war still has such great benefits...our civil war could even be brought forward? 】

Lincoln miraculously felt less guilty about triggering the Civil War.

The benefits of civil war!
Yes!

In the current Ming Dynasty, everything has been solidified!
Could it be that we really need to start a real war between the North and the South in a life-and-death battle to truly establish a new order?
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and this idea spread rapidly in his mind again.

Originally, he was afraid that a war might lead to the decline of Ming Dynasty.

But Lincoln’s Civil War proved that war brings new life!

They, the United States, seized on technology and were reborn in the flames of war.

Wouldn’t it work in Ming Dynasty?

He only needs to master technology...he only needs to learn from the group how a farmer can plant two hundred acres of land a day, and how to master the explosion of steel production!

The new Ming Dynasty may not be able to rise like the United States!
[American Taizu Washington: I also think stop it, Cleveland. What you are talking about, I can’t even think about it. I can’t even think about it. It’s just too, too dreamy. It’s so dreamy that it’s a bit weird. Really, is this...really the America that Jefferson and I created? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: Yes, it is somewhat incredible. I even suspect that you are a liar...]

Jefferson also felt that it was unreal. Although they had revealed their ambitions for the entire American continent at this time, Louisiana had not yet digested it, and how could it think of a more distant annexation of the entire American continent.

Can the major European countries just sit back and watch them encroach?

[Meixuanzong Jackson: So... Clarif, I just want to ask a question. Now that this is the case, are there still those disgusting natives? Are there enough natives left to make leather boots for me and Mr. Washington? 】

Jackson also wanted to make up his mind, but seeing what they said in Washington, he had to find another way to see if the Indians' ending was the good ending he wanted! A good ending for an America ruled only by white people.

[Louis XVI: Is this a joke? It feels a bit hellish. 】

Louis XVI never expected to see such a hellish joke.

Cleveland was also stunned for a moment, and then he thought of his idol's special interest in indigenous people, and understood.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: This... there should be enough to make leather boots. I don't know how many are left, but since President Lincoln's "Homestead Act" was enacted, those natives seem to have ushered in the end. Facts have proved that President Lincoln was much more efficient in driving away the natives than President Washington and President Jackson were slowly swinging their swords. It only took 10 dollars, no, we got 10 dollars for free, and we could ask a citizen to shoot them. , our citizens, are definitely the best hunters in the world. 】

In order to win the Civil War, Lincoln signed a decree on the distribution of land in the West, the famous Homestead Act.

Regulations: Starting from January 1863, 1, any citizen who is 1 years old or older, or a foreigner who meets the naturalization regulations and applies for naturalization, can receive no more than 21 US dollars for living and farming for free or by paying a registration fee of 10 US dollars. acres of western state land as allotments. After five years of farming, or those who have lived on the homestead for half a year within five years and paid a fee of $160 per acre, the land they received will belong to them.

This is land and money!
As soon as this method came out, the United States almost launched a nationwide whack-a-mole movement, and the construction speed of the Indians' Trail of Tears suddenly accelerated.

With the cooperation of local militia, the federal regular army adopted tactics such as divided advance and combined attack, and launched more than 1000 military operations of different scales. By the 1890s, it basically completed the combat mission of exterminating the Indians.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: If you get 10 dollars for free, please invite citizens to shoot? What kind of law is this? 】

Jackson was immediately curious. [Mercy Lincoln: This law is like this...]

Lincoln explained immediately, and then added: [My real purpose is just to weaken the Southern Allied Forces' military complement so that they can obtain their own land. I didn't expect that it would have such an effect? God, I may have one more sin to commit. 】

Did Lincoln really not know that this law would harm the natives?

know!

He wanted to win the civil war more than the deafening protests of the mute natives!

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Is this still possible? Administrative decrees can actually bring about more significant effects than real swords and guns? This is combined with our western development! 】

[Lincoln, how did you think of it? This is simply a genius idea! 】

Jackson understood immediately and was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up from his chair. He subconsciously looked at the gun hanging in his office and realized the terrifying power of another weapon.

[American Taizu Washington: This homestead law is indeed very interesting. 】

[American Taizong Jackson: I somewhat believe that you are the president of our United States. The presidents or emperors of other places are not as good as us! I am still worried about how to develop Louisiana. This is simply a revelation from God! 】

At this moment, the consensus on the indigenous issue finally made Jefferson completely believe in the chat group.

Only the presidents of the United States have the same likes and dislikes.

[Milejo Louis XVI: God, Amen, I want to pray for those Indians... You are simply too good, comparable to my great-great-grandfather's fashion show! 】

Louis XVI could only say that he admired them. It was a disaster for the Indians that these executioners could get together.

True to that sentence, two people can't sleep on the same quilt, no... the leather boots made by the Indians can only be worn by them.

The topic has changed. Where did these people get involved?

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask some questions about the development of science and technology to confirm his suspicions.

The group members unknowingly changed the topic, and he couldn't stop them.

[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, Cleveland, your introduction should be over, right? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, my introduction is almost complete, but President Washington and President Jackson, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know. 】

Apparently, he hasn't shown enough.

Jackson came to his senses and was about to ask him about the things that caused the economic crisis.

Zhu Houzhao took the lead again.

[Supreme Group Leader: Are you done? But it seems to me that Washington and others in the group don’t quite believe what you said. They are just talking nonsense. You can’t just take what you say, right? It just so happens that our group can send pictures, and you may be able to find something to prove it. 】

I probably got to know the two newcomers, especially Cleveland's description, which gave Zhu Houzhao some inspiration.

He wanted to keep up his efforts and get some useful technology.

Now, he seems to understand that the sudden function of posting pictures in the chat group seems to be another way to send pillows when drowsiness comes.

There is no truth without a picture, he wants to see is to believe.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Post pictures? 】

[American Taizu·Washington: Post a picture? 】

As soon as this new feature came out, everyone was a little confused.

[Supreme group leader: The picture-posting function has been sent to your minds. You can find some evidence and try it by yourself. 】

It's not easy for him to directly guide Cleveland to develop scientific and technological things, but he has made it so clear, Cleveland should understand!
[American Yingzong Cleveland: Isn’t this just a camera? The chat group actually has a camera function! Presidents, wait a moment, I will prove it to you... Wait a moment, let me see what is in my office? right! map! 】

Sure enough, after understanding the photo-posting function and already having a camera, Cleveland quickly understood this function.

The first photo taken by the first camera was born in France in 1822.

It was not until 1880 that the British introduced a double-headed lens reflex camera. In 1888, the American Kodak Company invented the world's first portable box camera that installed film.

Anyway, Lafayette took the photo.

He also took pictures of Lincoln, but this picture-posting function still took Cleveland a long time to study.

Everyone also waited for a while.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Everyone, please look, this is the map of the United States hanging in my presidential office! Especially President Washington and President Jackson, look, this is our map of the United States! Especially the capital Washington, named after you, was established as a state in 1889 and became the 42nd state of the United States! 】

[American and British Zong·Cleveland: Map of the United States.jag]

A very clear map of the United States in 1896 appeared in the group.

Isn’t it something related to science and technology?
Instead, it’s a map of the United States!
That’s okay too!
He wants to take a good look at where the United States is.

However, upon taking a closer look, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because the map was all in English, and only the map of the Americas, even if the map was somewhat detailed, he didn't gain much at first glance.

If you think about it, people in the group will find out.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Damn it! Except for Canada and Mexico... you greedy guys have really occupied the entire American continent! The king behind me, what the hell is going on with them! ? Can the British and Spanish watch you occupy these places? 】

As soon as this picture came out, Louis XVI immediately felt uncomfortable.

[American Taizu Washington: This is simply the most precious work of art in the world! It’s unbelievable that we, the United States, have truly become a big country! This gift is so wonderful! 】

[American Taizu Washington: Look at how shabby our country was when we were founded. Map of the United States 1796. jpg】

[American Taizong Jackson: Is this the future of our United States? How on earth is it done? Could it be that so much land was bought from them? 】

Jefferson, who had just doubled the expansion of the United States, looked at the map of the President's Office. Looking at this map again, the impact he received was naturally unimaginable.

When he was excited, he also posted pictures.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: I have no regrets about entering America in this life! Is this the world we, one by one, have laid down as relays? I feel like with this map, nothing else really matters. 】

Jackson also silently sent the map.

[Mercy Lincoln: Okay! Although only Alaska does not belong to us here, which is almost the same as this map, most of the Americas can belong to us, the United States. I have no regrets about being the president of the United States, and I have no regrets about being an American citizen! I love this land! 】

This map, of course, gave them an unparalleled sense of national pride, and even Lincoln sent out a map from his office.

For a time, several maps of the United States from different times and periods appeared in the group.

From Washington to Jackson to Lincoln to Cleveland.

The territorial expansion of these maps clearly shows the geographical development of the United States.

Although these geographical developments accompanied the Indians' Trail of Tears, no one in the group cared.
