When he walked into His Majesty's office, Zuo Zongtang, Wang Youling saw His Majesty standing by the window, with his arms folded and a cigar in his hand!
Qian Zizhuang from the Imperial Investigation Department and Zhu Guozhong, Minister of Foreign Affairs, have already arrived.
No, they both know the answer - Your Majesty already knows it.
The Imperial Investigation Department... they are His Majesty's eyes and ears. Since Qian Zizhuang is here, they must have received this information!
"My lord, Zuo Zongtang, Wang Youling is here to see His Majesty!"
Staring at the Xin'an River in the distance, Zhu Xianhai said without looking back when he heard the voice behind him.
"You got it!"
"Yes, I just received an urgent coded message from the Beihai Governor's Office. Now the garrison there has been mobilized. According to the plan, they will go to the border to put pressure on the United States."
"Liang Baitao still knows what to do."
Zhu Xianhai nodded and then said.
"Tell me, why do they dare to do this?"
Looking back, the seemingly calm Zhu Xianhai suppressed the anger that was about to explode!
"Why do they dare to kill our people!"
Why do they dare?
Because they looked down on the Chinese people in their bones. When he closed his eyes, Zhu Xianhai's mind was filled with the phrase "Hang the Chinese old man!" from Qian Zizhuang's intelligence.
"Your Majesty, I think that I, the Ming Dynasty, must express my attitude, otherwise the whole world will despise me, the Ming Dynasty, and regard me as nothing!"
Zuo Zongtang took a deep breath and then said.
"I think we can send a fleet to Los Angeles, but we must respond with a tough attitude!"
Send a fleet to the United States!
Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips and stared at Zuo Zongtang and asked.
"Prime Minister Zuo, if there is an artillery attack, it may trigger a war. Will we be able to win it then?"
"I thought that my Ming Dynasty would never lose!"
Zuo Zongtang said rather arrogantly.
"I believe that the Royal Army and Royal Navy will never betray His Majesty's trust!"
Where does this conceit come from?
It comes from the trust in the Ming army. The Ming army does not have many soldiers, but it is absolutely well-equipped. Even if the navy cannot be compared with the old European powers, compared with the United States, it is definitely a crushing advantage.
The U.S. Navy may have had hundreds of warships during the Civil War, but how many warships do they have left now?
However, there are only 48 warships, and these warships are basically wooden-hulled ships. As for the ironclad ships built during the war that had no navigation capabilities, they have long been eliminated.
Fighting the US Navy is not easy!
"Indeed, I think my army will definitely live up to the expectations of me and the people of Ming Dynasty, well..."
Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips, then took a puff of his cigar, thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Guozhong.
"Tell Ambassador Howard our decision and tell him that if the United States cannot give us an explanation, then we will take all necessary measures to defend the interests of overseas Chinese!"
Zhu Xianhai is not afraid of war, nor does he feel afraid. In his opinion, it is completely necessary to fight a few battles occasionally, which reminds everyone how harsh the living environment of the Ming Dynasty is.
"I understand!"
Zhu Guozhong nodded. After learning the news, he knew very well that if the United States could not give Ming a satisfactory answer to this matter, then war would definitely be waiting for them.
"etc!"
Just when Zhu Guozhong stood up to leave, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Send a movie projector and movie to the President of the United States - Target, Versailles."
What is intimidation?
This is of course a threat, just to tell those Americans that we can destroy the White House with an airship just like we destroyed the Palace of Versailles.
What does it mean to conquer someone without fighting?
To put it bluntly, it is absolute crushing in terms of strength. Only in this way can others surrender.
Then, Zhu Xianhai looked at Zuo Zongtang and said.
"Before you arrive, the fleet has already set off!"
What!
Zuo Zongtang's eyes opened slightly and he looked at His Majesty in shock.
"Time is running out for Americans!"
After taking a puff of his cigar, Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"It depends on how Americans choose!"
…
"Is this war?"
Faced with the protest of Dong Kun, the Ming Dynasty's ambassador to the United States, Secretary of State Creston asked directly.
"No!"
Dong Kun shook his head and said.
"Whether it is war or peace, it depends on your choice. 18 innocent souls are crying over Los Angeles. The cries of the survivors are roaring on the ground. We, all of us, have only one thought, justice!"
Dong Kun took a deep breath.
"Justice! If your country cannot give us justice, then we will seek justice in our own way!"
"Mr. Ambassador, you should know that each of us, all Americans, are extremely indignant at the atrocities that occurred in Los Angeles. Mr. President and many members of Congress have called the governor of California and demanded that they be punished in accordance with the law.
Those thugs, please rest assured that the United States is a country ruled by law!"
When Clayton finished speaking, Dong Kun said directly.
"As we all know, the laws of the United States are a joke! Until now, the California authorities have not arrested a single thug, not a single thug has been tried, and no Chinese has received compensation. Is this your law? Mr. Secretary, please believe it.
, safeguarding the interests of Chinese expatriates is Ming Dynasty’s responsibility and obligation! This cannot be questioned! "
If there hadn't been the bombardment of the Kedah Sultanate, I'm afraid there would still be people saying that "Qing people are not Ming people", but no one will ask now. After all, the Kedah Sultanate's artillery fire has said everything.
.
"Mr. Ambassador, whether American laws are a joke or not, there will be facts to prove it!"
When Creston said these words, he, who was a lawyer, was also full of doubts. Not to mention him, even McClellan, who was the president, was also full of doubts.
"We must send a telegram to Newton Booth to tell him the seriousness of the situation!"
McClellan said bluntly in the Oval Office of the White House. Newton Booth is the governor of California.
"In the past, no one cared about what happened to the Chinese, but it is different now. The Ming Dynasty cares about them very much. They can directly say that those people are their expatriates, although we all know that they are not at all, but we do not have any evidence to prove that they are
No! So, he must take this matter seriously!"
Faced with the president's concerns, Creston said.
"Mr. President, I think we should send a federal judge to handle this incident. Governor Booth and many California legislators are very hostile to the Chinese. Mr. President, I think that just relying on California magistrates may not be able to give the Ming Empire a chance.
Satisfactory answer!"
"Satisfactory answer!"
McClellan said directly
"What is a satisfactory answer? The law, our law will decide all this. Regardless of whether the Ming people will accept it or not, will we compromise just because they are shouting the threat of war? No, in front of our law, any
Everyone is equal, including those Chinese!"
After saying these words, McClellan said again.
"Immediately send a telegram to Governor Booth in the name of the White House to reiterate to him the seriousness of this matter. Also, let this case be handed over to a federal judge!"
