The current war between the North and the South is, to put it bluntly, just a competition for interests.
But no one wants to destroy America.
Just like a few brothers fighting for a house, if this house is destroyed now, no one can agree to it.
The house has been destroyed, so why fight?
What's more, this kind of massacre of a city is the easiest way to arouse hatred.
The people of the North and the South originally belonged to the same country. How much hatred can there be between them?
Maybe the two parties are still friends or relatives?
Now I slaughter your people, and in turn you come to take revenge on my people, and hatred emerges.
When did the so-called retribution of injustice come to pass?
Abraham seemed to see the purpose of the Chinese Legion.
Now that they have slaughtered half of Illinois, Springfield will definitely kill Missouri when it goes south.
Anyway, those who died were all white people, and the Chinese were all in the far west.
Today you kill my people, and tomorrow I will kill your people. In the end, how many white immigrants will be left in the New World?
Davis did not have Abraham's vision. He fully supported Wall's move because it was the only way for the South to win the final victory.
Since he has become the president of the South, leading the South to victory is the only thing he has to do.
It is also his only goal.
Abraham was thinking of ways to break the situation and could not let this vicious cycle continue to evolve.
He canceled his order to report the matter in newspapers because it would make this vicious circle worse.
But this matter cannot end like this, he has to reconsider this war.
"Mr. President, there is news from Canada in the north that the French attack on the Chinese in the west of the Canadian province failed. I heard that the French lost more than 50,000 people. Only a few people from the expeditionary force sent by the Chinese mainland ran away.
When we came back, we suffered heavy losses. Their war in the subcontinent also failed. It seems that the people of the country are in danger."
"These Chinese people are really useless." Abraham didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.
If the Americans don't deal with the Americans, and if the Americans are defeated this time, then the threat to the north of America will be gone.
This allowed the Union to devote more troops to fighting the South.
But Abraham had vaguely realized that these yellow people in North Amelia seemed to be one.
"Mr. President, the Americans sent us a note, suspecting that our California troops, numbering fifty to sixty thousand in total, were involved in attacking them."
"California Chinese?" Abraham felt that this just confirmed his suspicion just now, that these yellow people are indeed one.
If you add in the control of a large area of land in the west of Canada, then the land controlled by the Chinese in Northern Amelia is no smaller than that of America.
This time another 50,000 to 60,000 troops emerged, so how many troops did they have?
Including the Chinese regiment of the Kansas Army, the number of Chinese troops he now knows has exceeded 100,000.
A legion of 100,000 people could completely influence the direction of the war between the North and the South.
What should we do?
Abraham suspected that this battle was not that simple. It was definitely not just a battle of interests between the north and the south.
Perhaps this is also related to whether white people can continue to establish a foothold on the northern Amelia continent in the future.
He must tell Davis this. At this time, the North and the South should unite to drive the Chinese away from the North Amelia continent.
Of course, relying on the United States alone is not enough, because they will face the entire Chinese world, the powerful empire on the other side of the ocean.
If they only deal with the Chinese in the New World, they are still capable of doing it, but what if the Renaissance Army also intervenes.
This will be a war between the white world and the yellow world.
In that case, he must get the support of the entire Europa.
That is to expand the war, and perhaps a world war will break out on the land of America.
Is this good or bad for America? The outcome of such a major event is difficult to predict.
Only a smart person like Abraham could think of so many things as soon as he knew about this matter.
"Reply to the Chinese people, we don't know about this matter. By the way, please help me make an appointment with Sir Hurd, the Governor of the Canadian Province of China. I think it is necessary to talk to them. I think it is time for the Chinese people to make a choice.
Should we let the Chinese continue to develop in the North Amelia continent, or should we support the slave owners in the south to gain a little profit for themselves?" Abraham ordered.
"President, you want to unite with the United States, will the people of the United States be willing? I think they are eager for those southerners to unify the United States," Kennedy said.
"Of course they want that, but they don't want to give this place to those yellow people. I think they will make the right choice. You should know how the Chinese people always behave. If there is a chance to interfere, of course they will not
Give up."
Abraham had already thought about using this matter to win the support of the people of the Republic of China. If the people of the Republic of China were willing to support them, then the north would have a chance to win this war.
Of course, it would be better if those rural wealthy people in the South could understand the righteousness, give up their resistance, and return to the embrace of the Union.
In this way, he could command the huge army that had been mobilized to drive away all the yellow people in the entire Northern New World.
Kennedy left, and Abraham stopped what he was doing. His brain was working rapidly.
A plan for the future war was gradually sketched in his mind.
At the same time, a grand auction was being held on the dock in Xinzhengzhou.
The auction is hosted by Xinzhengzhou City.
It's just that there are a lot of things to be auctioned this time.
The yard at the riverside dock area in Xinzhengzhou is now filled with all kinds of materials.
Some large items are just placed in the open air.
Some things were covered with tarpaulin, maybe because they were afraid of water.
In addition, there are some valuable small items such as clocks, porcelain, and works of art placed in the warehouse.
There are a large number of businessmen gathered in the small city of New Zhengzhou. There have never been so many people here. So much so that all the hotels in the city are full and there is no room for them.
Zhao Sixi quickly ordered a seven-day holiday for schools in the city and converted classrooms into temporary hostels.
This gives some businessmen a place to shelter from wind and rain.
Many families inside and outside the city have also spotted business opportunities and converted their houses into family hotels to provide food and accommodation for these businessmen and take the opportunity to make a fortune.
New Zhengzhou City is indeed a city founded on commerce, and the residents here are not lacking in business acumen.
The city lord Zhao Sixi was busy receiving some big shots.
This auction in Xinzhengzhou began to be publicized in newspapers as early as half a month ago, when the Kansas Army's northward campaign ended.
After learning the news, these people took the train and rushed to Xinzhengzhou City.
This is the terminus of the Canadian-Chinese Railway to the central Great Plains. It is the place where trade with white people in the east took place, so most people know this place.
Most of the people who come here are Chinese businessmen from Canada. Giants like West Coast Company do not want to participate in such an auction. The things they need have already been shipped away.
The items in the auction are not wanted by West Coast Company.
West Coast Company is controlled by Canada. Canada is the main investor in this war, so of course they want to take the lion's share.
The remaining things were taken out and resold mainly for cash. Otherwise, what else would be used to reward those soldiers?
"Fifteen sets of textile machines, the starting price is 10,000 yuan." An open-air venue next to the dock yard is now an auction site.
The conditions are very simple. The host has a high hosting table, and the guests below can only sit on long chairs.
But all of those people were dressed in fine clothes. They were not the owners of the business, but they were also at the level of a big shopkeeper.
"I will pay ten thousand five hundred taels." A fat man wearing a purple silk gown said with a sign. He was the owner of a textile factory.
He could tell just by looking at them that these cotton looms were of good quality and were at least 80% new.
The starting price is only half of the market price. If you can get it in the end, it will be a very good deal.
With these machines, his textile factory can at least double its size.
He had just recognized that these machines could weave the more popular twill fabrics at the moment.
As the textile merchant bid, others followed suit.
But in the end, this person took over the machines.
The next auction will be interesting. There are actually 100,000 books packaged and auctioned.
Finally, it was photographed by an older businessman. It was said that he wanted to build a library of his own.
The artworks were auctioned in a warehouse-turned-exhibition hall.
Chinese businessmen do not know much about these foreign works of art.
Therefore, they generally do not fetch high prices.
As the organizer of this auction, Xinzhengzhou not only gained fame, but also established its reputation as the number one commercial city in the central region.
They also gained huge benefits. After the West Coast Company has made the selection, they can give priority to selecting from this batch.
Zhao Sixi is very busy these days, not only arranging auction activities.
The city's militia must also be arranged to protect the materials piled at the dock.
Every time it’s meal time, we invite important businessmen to dinner to build closer relationships.
Since the new city of Zhengzhou is built on commerce, the help of these merchants will be indispensable in the future.
In the past few days, under Zhao Sixi's persuasion, several businessmen have decided to build businesses and factories in Xinzhengzhou City.
Just when Zhao Sixi was busy taking advantage of this opportunity to bring New Zhengzhou City to a higher level.
A long-lost person found Zhao Sixi again.
"Mr. Quark, long time no see." Although Zhao Sixi was very tired, he still shook hands with Quark enthusiastically.
The last time Quark came over, he still asked Zhao Sixi to buy weapons.
The senior officials of Jihua also intended to support this group of Yin Di'an people who had a deep hatred against the white people, so they agreed to the previous trade with them.
And also authorized Zhao Sixi to maintain contact with this group of Indians.
"Mayor Zhao, I'm here to cause trouble for you again." Quark also learned some Chinese etiquette.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Sixi knew very well that this man had something to do with him again.
"Mr. Quark, you are welcome. You are a distinguished guest from our New Zhengzhou people, and the Comanches are our friends." Zhao Sixi now has the face of a businessman, greeting everyone he sees with a smile.
There has always been a trading house set up by the Comanches in the city of New Zhengzhou. Most of the time, this trading house sold animal skins and then purchased grain and other daily necessities.
The Comanches have become accustomed to using grain to supplement their winter food shortages, so that few of their tribesmen die of cold or starvation in the winter.
Zhao Sixi also asked someone to investigate and found that in the past six months, the Comanches sold a lot of goods and purchased food.
He knew that these Yin Di'an people would not waste food. Their needs must have increased because their numbers must have increased.
"Mayor Zhao, I came to you this time because I want to buy another weapon." Quark said.
"It's such a small thing, why don't you go there in person." Normally, the Comanche trading house can directly purchase a certain number of guns on behalf of the Apaches, as well as the ammunition they need.
Since Quark is here in person, it means that this is another big deal.
"Mayor Zhao, I am coming here to buy 30,000 rifles."
"Thirty thousand, that's a lot!" Zhao Sixi almost spit out his tea. The original Comanche tribe totaled only a few thousand people.
Even if the guns they purchased before were worn out, they don't need so many.
"Mr. Quark, based on our relationship, if you still trust us, I think you can share some things with me?" Zhao Sixi said.
He knew that the Comanches must have done something big during this time.
The central Great Plains is too vast, with barren land everywhere.
If something big happened, Jiahua wouldn't know the news all at once.
"Mr. Zhao, to be honest, we have integrated all the Yintian tribes in the northern part of the prairie during this period. Now our Comanche tribe has nearly 20,000 warriors." Quark did not lie. He came to buy last time.
The weapons were not used to attack white people, but to attack other Yintian tribes.
Quark is a knowledgeable Yindian. He knows why the Yindians were always slaughtered wantonly by white people in the past.
It's because the people of Yin Di'an are in a state of disunity and cannot pull them together.
Every time, they were either sow discord, deceived and exploited by white people, or they were defeated one by one.
Therefore, if he wants to deal with the white people, he must first integrate the Yin Di'an people.
Now that he has done it, the next step is to arm all these Yin Di'an people.
Then it's time for their revenge. He will take his Yin Di'an warriors to avenge the white people.
To avenge the Yin Di'an people who died in the war of westward expansion.
