Chapter 1216: Counterattack is for the sake of survival (Third update, please subscribe)
"There will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers!"
This sentence is more appropriate to describe the impression the Ming Empire had on the world.
Maybe the Ming Empire is perfect in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of some people, the Ming Dynasty is completely useless.
One thing that is certain is that in the eyes of John Andre, the Ming Empire was useless. He was the first American journalist to "reveal the truth."
"Gentlemen, many people say - Sir, you said that the Ming Empire was barbaric and cruel, but haven't you seen that the Ming Empire was cutting down tropical rainforests to build apartment buildings for the indigenous people who previously only knew barbaric fighting? But..."
In the hotel banquet hall, John Andre said excitedly.
"Have you been to the Ming Dynasty? I have been there before. Yes, they allocated land to the Indians and built apartment buildings for them, allowing the barbarians to live a modern and civilized life. But there
Where are the white people?”
John, who was standing on the stage, looked around at the people in the banquet hall and continued.
"Their lands were plundered, just like Mr. Garcia..."
John set his sights on a well-dressed gentleman with an obvious Hispanic appearance.
"His ancestors arrived in Peru 300 years ago, and nearly ten generations of people worked hard to accumulate wealth. Suddenly, they were squeezed due to the invasion of the Ming Empire, his brother was killed, and his nephew's whereabouts were unknown, and then his
The land was given to those savage Indians!”
For a time, there was an uproar in the banquet hall, and all the guests, both men and women, were talking about it.
"Gentlemen, this is the disaster that the Ming Empire's invasion brought to the white people. Yes, they were the liberators of the black people... I know that even in New York, there are many people who compliment Emperor Shengde so much and think that he is the most important person in history.
The most merciful empire ever - never had so many people been given freedom and sent back home."
The conversation changed and John said.
"But what did those liberated black slaves in Brazil do after they arrived in Africa? They acted as thugs of the empire. They killed the indigenous people who resisted the empire. Yes, some people were liberated, but more people were enslaved.
, tens of thousands of miles of railways were built in the African empire, but under every sleeper there was the skeleton of an indigenous person..."
This is a rumor!
Mark Twain in the audience had this bias in his mind. The reason why he felt this way was because he had been to the Ming Dynasty. Although he had not been to Africa, he knew that the people of the Ming Dynasty were better than white people.
Too much civilization.
Even in Africa!
Unlike the British and Germans who crazily massacred African natives, the Ming people reclaimed land in Africa and allowed the natives who had only known barbaric killings to enter modern civilized society.
One thing that is certain is that this is a manifestation of the superiority of Chinese civilization over Western civilization.
Although he despised the rumors spread by his friends here, Mark Twain heard a burst of applause from everyone around him, and it seemed that everyone believed that everything John Andre said was true.
They want to believe it!
Mark Twain knew very well why these people were willing to believe that the Ming Dynasty was evil.
"For them, nothing can make them feel more at ease than the fact that the Ming Dynasty is evil and that empire is an evil empire."
Mark Twain thought silently. He thought about the drastic changes in people's lives he witnessed there when he visited the Ming Dynasty for the second time. Although that country was not perfect, and indeed, as John said, there were indeed some injustices there.
, such as some discrimination against white people, or against Spaniards who cannot speak Chinese, mixed-race people, including Indians, but it is fair there.
Everyone lives a happy life there, and even a poor white man does not live in a dark and damp slum, suffering from disease and misery.
"That world is the world that people long for!"
While sighing, Mark Twain certainly knew why John gave such a speech, it was to make money.
Make money, business is not shabby.
In fact, for the bankrupt Mark Twain, he was quite envious of John. They visited the Ming Dynasty together and witnessed the Ming Dynasty's rule of Argentina, but John found a wealth code.
After they returned to China, John Andre continued to publish a large number of anti-Ming articles in newspapers. Nine out of ten of his articles were articles that "revealed the truth about the Ming Dynasty." In his writing, the so-called Ming Dynasty
The "civilized and decent" lifestyle is just for Ming people. To be precise, it is exclusive to yellow Chinese people. White people live in miserable slums. Beautiful white women just rely on their poor bodies to exchange for better things.
life.
It is precisely because of this that he received so many invitations to speak, thus earning wealth that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a lifetime.
"...In Peru today, more and more white women are marrying Ming people, that is, Chinese Ming people. But what about the men? Their fate is tragic. They can only find an Indian woman, and they may not even have a wife for the rest of their lives.
…”
As the "anti-Ming pioneer" John Andre once again showed the world the "true side" of the empire through his speech, where he warned all Americans to remain vigilant and told American politicians to
The first priority is to fight against the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, the United States will soon become another Peru. Of course, it is also warning the rich people in the United States that if the Ming Empire occupies the United States, their wealth will be robbed.
Like Mr. Garcia, he will lose all his property.
Of course, all this not only gained John Andre fame, but also wealth. After the speech, John Andre became the center of the entire banquet, with everyone surrounding him and chatting with him.
I want to continue discussing the Ming threat with him.
After the banquet was over, in another room, Garcia gave John Andre a warm hug directly.
"Dear Mr. Andre, your speech today will surely shock the whole of New York!"
After a warm hug, Garcia looked very excited.
"I believe that after your speech, many people will realize the threat of the Ming Empire, the threat to the United States, the threat to white people and white civilization."
"Yes, Mr. Garcia, the threat from Ming Dynasty is threatening the entire United States!"
John Andre said,
"They are using their so-called good life to confuse the hearts of Americans. They are trying to make the world believe that Ming Dynasty's life is the best, and even Ming Dynasty's rule is the most civilized. However, Garcia
Sir, all this is at the expense of you, us...all of our wealth being plundered and robbed..."
John Andre's anger naturally aroused Garcia's approval, and then they discussed together for a long time, discussing Ming's hypocrisy, hypocrisy and barbarism, and of course, all kinds of atrocities.
In the end, when John Andre left, he had another check in his wallet, which was the reward for Mr. Garcia's invitation to give a speech--$500.
When John Andre got into the car with a smile, he looked at Mark Twain and said.
"You see, it's that simple, my friend, as long as you are willing, with your reputation, someone will soon invite you. You just need to add some exaggeration and tell something that people are willing to listen to, and money will fly into your pocket.
inside……"
Finally, John said again.
"The income from today's speech is 500 US dollars, which is just enough to buy two Ming Dynasty radios. Did you know? As long as the machine is connected to electricity, you can listen to music without the need for records..."
Well, Mingming is just business and work, but Mingming’s products are still very good.
