Chapter 543 Lincoln, you don’t want to be the last president of the United States of America, do you?
The carriage galloped in the bumps, and Hong Renzheng's bishop Jin Guan shone with a cold light in the moonlight. Lincoln's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his back was close to the damp leather seats.
"Are you Bishop Hong?" Lincoln's fingers clenched into the crack of the seat, and his knuckles turned white. "What do you want to do?"
Hong Renzheng blew a breath, wiped out the burning white phosphorus match, and then took out an enamel tobacco box from his sleeve, rubbing it in his hand: "We really want to invest in your first place in the United States of America."
16 Presidents!”
"The 16th...President?" Lincoln's pupils shrank suddenly, "You mean, I will become the president of this country in 6 years?"
"It's not what I said, it's what His Highness said!" Hong In-jung said, "He also said that James Buchanan will become the 15th President of the United States in 1857... :::. And you will be in 1861
Become President!”
The carriage drove quickly through the white settlement in San Francisco, which was already boiling here. The shouts of "Gold! Gold!" were rolling towards the carriage where Lincoln was like a sea wave. The future US president opened the curtain and found the streets.
Groups of gold diggers on the top held torches and rushed out of the city like crazy ants. Someone waved the yellowed drawings and roared through the night sky: "Golden map! Golden map...
""
"What did you do?" Lincoln grabbed Hong In-jung's clothes, "Did your killer kill Senator Brannan?"
Hong Renzheng smiled and held Lincoln's hand: "We just released the golden picture...:::.40,000 gold picture! If not enough, we can print more, so that everyone in California can get one! As for cloth
Senator Lannan, is he dead? So is California going to re-elect a senator?"
Lincoln's face turned pale: "You can't become a senator, you are not even an American citizen! According to the relevant bill, if you were not born on American territory, only white people who have lived in the United States for 5 years can obtain nationality!" The corner of his mouth
Showing a mockery, "You are not white and you can't be born in the United States, so you don't even have the right to vote! Your people, except those Irish people, have no right to vote...:::. Although they bear most of California
Taxes!”
"Yes!" Hong Renzheng shrugged, "So you have passed the Foreign Miner Special Tax Act and the Foreign Miner License Tax Act to collect heavy taxes from our people! In the future, you will pass a Chinese Exclusion Act to put it into practice.
We drove away from California...:::. and seized the industries we worked hard to work hard! We have no citizenship, can't vote, and naturally there are no members of lawmakers who can speak for us. Even if we use money to buy, the effect is not very good. After all,
Who can snatch it all away?”
"Yes," Lincoln let go of Hong In-jung's clothes, "and you can't fight against the federal military machine, and even California militias are not something you can do! So, you'd better be before the end of the gold rush,
Take the money you earned back to China. ::::. When the gold in California is dug, they should treat you as gold mines!" He suddenly sighed again, "Of course, I don't agree with it.
This is the practice, but...
This is the United States! Even if I become president, I can’t change it!

"No, you can!" Hong In-jung played with the tobacco box in his hand. "There will be a chance in the future to allow the US Congress to pass a law that grants American nationality to all foreigners willing to fight for it and their immediate family members."
"You mean..." Lincoln looked at the bishop of the True Joe in front of him with the help of the light of the torch shot in the outer car window, "Will the United States be invaded by powerful enemies in the future?"
"No," Hong Renzheng shook his head gently, "The Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are the best barriers for the United States, and the huge size of the United States determines that it is impossible for any American country to challenge the regional hegemony of the United States. Therefore, it can put the United States in a crisis of survival.
The only enemy of the United States! The future Mr. President, unless you are willing to give up on politics now, you will definitely be elected the 16th President of the United States. But your real challenge is not to elect a president, but after the election...::.
You will need us then, if you don’t want to be the last president of the United States of America!”
"The last term..." Lincoln seemed to see a real devil through the Archbishop of the True Request School in front of him!
Hong Renzheng smiled and stretched out his hand to Lincoln: "Mr. Lincoln, His Highness of the Angel said, do you know what the 'last president of the United States of America' means? So, can we cooperate?"
Meanwhile, Natalia stood in front of the window on the top floor of the hotel, and the golden picture trembled in her hands.
Wu Chongyao lit tobacco, and the green smoke lingered at his fingertips: "Grandmaster, didn't expect it? There are hundreds of millions of dollars of gold buried underground in Alaska...:::. The barren land covered by ice and snow will soon be
It has become a treasure land. Now the British and French have a need for Alaska troops, and if Governor Muravyov wants to keep the wealth there for the Tsar, he needs our help!"
The noise on the Chinatown battlefield outside the window had disappeared, and the brief and fierce conflict obviously ended with the disastrous defeat of the Mormons and their Russian allies. However, this was no longer important to Natalia.
"Okay!" Natalia's teeth sucked her red lips lightly, "I'll go to China with you to see that person...:
Your Highness the Angel!"
Wu Chongyao spit out another smoke ring: "Then let's go, time is not enough!"
"Let's leave now?" Natalia looked at Wu Chongyao in surprise.
"Yes! His Highness of the King of Wu can afford to wait, but Governor Muravyov can't afford to wait!" Wu Chongyao looked at the Russian female grandfather in front of him, "If I'm not wrong, you must have helped Muravyov with one."
Are you busy? Where is he now...?"
"It should be on the way to Fort Langley!" Natalia said, "Brannan and California militia installed eyeliners in Fort Langley in the British and stole the British army's defense map. According to the defense map, the British people showed that the British people
The troops are limited, and the loopholes in the defense line are very large."
"Okay!" Wu Chongyao turned around and opened the door, waved to Natalia, "Let's go, let's go now, go to the dock, my Pacific can set off at any time!"
The mist floated at the mouth of the Fraser River, and Muravyov used a monocular telescope to sweep the simple walls built by Langley Fort with sandbags and logs. Forty whaling ships behind him were stranded at the tide.
A total of 1,500 Russian commandos were carried on the whaling ship with star-striped flags!
"I hope the information given by those Mormons is true!" The governor touched a British army defense map in his hand. It was based on this Mormon's defense map that he arrived here smoothly!
He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The dial pointer was pointing at 5:15 in the morning, which was the breakfast prayer time for the militia and soldiers of the British Hudson Bay Company.
Fifty Cossacks were ready. When the first ray of sunlight pierced the morning mist, they held the M1841 rifled rifled gun provided by the Americans, looked at a pocket of ball grenades, and the first group rushed up to the Langley Fort ambush.
The leader of the river beach suddenly froze and the battlements of the city wall flashed through the reflection of the brass telescope.
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of the brown bass rifle tore through the silence. The Tu official fell on the beach of the Fraser River like a broken comb pole, and a large area of ​​river water dyed red. Mulavyov hit the side of the ship with a dam: "Damn it, damn it."
, Still discovered!
However, Muravyov ordered the attack horn to sound, and the raided fleet was close enough to Langley Fort. Forty 6-pound whaling cannons filled with solid bullets opened fire together, with a muzzle wrapped in a tarpaulin.
The orange-red flame tongue was sprayed out. The log wall was blasted out of a gap after several rounds of volleys, revealing the panicked Hudson Bay militia behind. They didn't even have time to bayonet the rifled brown bass rifle.
.
"Ula!"
A thousand Russian soldiers held flintlock rifles, and when the tide rushed through the gap, Governor Douglas was dreaming of burning documents in the cellar of the Governor's House. He heard the sound of heavy military boots coming from the floor, and suddenly grabbed the colonial map on the table and stuffed it into the fireplace.
I was trapped by a cold palm.
When the Russian double-headed eagle flag was raised in Langley Fort, Victoria Fort less than a hundred nautical miles away was shrouded in morning mist. Natalia looked at the Taiping Panlong Banner on the harbor tower and suddenly grabbed Wu Chongyao's
Arm: "You took Fort Victoria?"
Wu Chongyao took a sip of dry tobacco happily and turned his head to justice to the Russian female student beside him: "Isn't this very good?"
Muravijov got the Langley Fort he wanted, and now he was closer to the U.S. border and could advance to the hinterland of the Hudson Bay Company. Our expeditionary force helped the British to regain Fort Victoria
1. This is what Governor James Douglas wants the most. Everyone has got what they want, and this is the best deal. Female Grand Duke, do you think such a deal needs to continue?"
Natalia nodded: "Of course, I look forward to a deal with His Highness Angel that will benefit both of us!"
Wu Chongyao pointed to the dock with his pipe, where there were many Russians sitting on the ground, all under the guard of the Taiping Army, some of whom were still wounded: "I think we can make a deal now."
When they boarded the dock, Luo Dagang was counting the Russian civilians and defenders captured by his expeditionary force. He saw Wu Chongyao wearing official uniforms and Natalie from the "Pacific" with the Panlong Banner,
He laughed and waved his hand, "Enter Wu, is that Russian female grandfather by your side? You are here just in time,
My people caught more than a thousand Russians in Fort Victoria. ::::. But without Muravyov and his elite Russian soldiers, according to the prisoners' instructions, they all went to raid Fort Langley! I think Russia
Chapter completed!
