New Ming Empire mixed in America

Soon, Barton took a train to Jinling, the capital of the Xinming Empire.

When Li Mingqi saw Barton again after such a long time, he almost didn't recognize him.

Because Barton has changed from being tall and thin to being round now.

Looking at Barton, who weighed a full two hundred kilograms, Li Mingqi couldn't help but joke: "Have you gotten rich recently?"

Barton smiled awkwardly and did not dare to answer.

Li Mingqi was right, Barton had indeed made a fortune, because now the Xinming Empire had established a stable trade relationship with Tsarist Russia.

It was as if everyone knew about the luxury goods of the Xinming Empire overnight.

In the past, luxury goods would be sold under the guise of other countries, but that is no longer the case.

An expedition against Peru made most of the Americas aware of the emergence of a new maritime power on the west coast.

Later, the Xinming Empire purchased Alaska and made headlines in newspapers around the world.

Of course it's not a good thing. The above tried their best to ridicule that the Xinming Empire's territory now belongs to the category of a powerful country, but it does not have the strength of a powerful country.

The British newspaper also openly mocked Alaska as Li Mingqi's big freezer, which could be used to store the endless potatoes of the New Ming Empire.

There were even newspapers that published the horrific altars called ‘Jingguan’ built by the New Ming Empire across America.

Because after the Xinming Empire classified the church as a cult, all European newspapers began to denounce the Xinming Empire as a damned devil's country.

However, these slanders did not slow down the sales of Xinming Empire's luxury goods at all, and even caused the prices of these luxury goods to rise a lot because they had a sense of devilish mystery.

Li Mingqi looked at the somewhat reserved Barton and directly explained the reason for calling him:

"I called you here this time because I want you to go to Texas, because I need to build a railway from Jinling to Texas."

When he heard that the railway that had been planned for a long time was finally going to be built, the fat on Barton's face trembled and he said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince Texas to give us the best discount!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Mingqi shaking his head.

In his doubtful eyes, Li Mingqi finally said his plan: Li Mingqi finally said his plan:

"I don't need discounts, I just need this railway to be completed as soon as possible. At the same time, I hope to find more businessmen to contract the construction of this railway."

There is a reason why Li Mingqi wants to build the railway to Texas as soon as possible, because he wants to have an outlet in the Gulf of Mexico.

The most suitable place is Texas, so Li Mingqi wants to build this railway as soon as possible.

Now, the 1st Brigade of the National Defense Force has deployed a defense line in the New Mexico area. After the construction of the railway is completed, this defense line will be even more foolproof.

After Li Mingqi explained his requirements to Barton, he let Barton leave.

At the same time, Sun Laifu, who had completely surrounded downtown Santa Barbara, finally waited for Southern California's unconditional surrender request.

At first, these people wanted to struggle for a while relying on the banner of the Northern Federation, but after someone Lin completely gave up on them, these people realized the truth.

"As the top leader of Southern California, I believe I have the right to retain my legal property in Southern California."

Before submitting the letter of surrender, the deputy governor solemnly stated his final conditions to Sun Laifu.

"Of course, your property still belongs to you, and the Xinming Empire will buy them at a reasonable price."

Sun Laifu still had a good impression of this deputy governor who was very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Because after the siege of Santa Barbara, the deputy governor once ordered the residents not to participate in this losing battle, which was appreciated by Sun Laifu. Gu

Now the Xinming Empire is in urgent need of labor, so it is certainly the best outcome if these people die less.

After gently placing the surrender document into Sun Laifu's hand, the deputy governor breathed a sigh of relief as if an invisible burden had been lifted off him.

"I have paid a lot for Southern California, but I am hindered by those damn guys at every turn. Now Southern California belongs to your Majesty the Emperor. You must be careful of those ranchers, they are not easy to talk to."

After finishing speaking, the lieutenant governor walked around the congressmen who were standing aside in disgust.

I walked quickly back to the Santa Barbara residents who came out of the city to witness this scene. What happened next had nothing to do with these people.

"Welcome to the general. We have prepared a grand banquet for you in the manor. We also ask the general to come and attend..."

A congressman who looked like he was smiling came up and extended a banquet invitation to Sun Laifu.

Looking at these congressmen who had not yet understood their situation, Sun Laifu suddenly asked:

"I heard that one of you is a senior church official named Matthews, who is he?"

After hearing Sun Laifu's question, a very well-dressed man walked out from among the members.

"I'm Matthews, nice to meet you..."

Unfortunately, before Matthews could finish his words, he was directly pushed to the ground by the Jin Yiwei who appeared from behind Sun Laifu.

"What are you going to do? I am a church..."

Matthews' fierce struggle succeeded in gaining the big feet of the Jin Yiwei, and he finally calmed down after losing a few teeth.

"I really don't know what you are thinking. You did such an unscrupulous thing to the Xinming Empire and still dare to stay here. Do you think we don't dare to kill you?"

After Sun Laifu finished speaking, the Jinyi guards took away the guy who personally planned the smallpox plague plan.

Looking at the other congressmen who were commotion, Sun Laifu asked again:

"Which one is Mr. Diplomat from the Northern Federation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tuxedo man walked out from among the congressmen.

"I believe you have received the letter of appointment given to you by your federation. May I ask why you haven't left until now?"

After Sun Laifu finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation towards the carriage next to him without waiting for the other party's answer.

Shaking his head, Tuxedo did not choose to leave, but asked: "Do you really believe what those people in Washington said?"

"The Mexicans will not cede Baja California to you. Even if I go there, the result will not change!"

Tuxedo has a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of those politicians in Washington.

In order to repair relations with the Xinming Empire, he was actually asked to discuss with the Mexican government the cession of Baja California to the Xinming Empire.

This joke-like appointment filled Tuxedo with a sense of absurdity. It was simply treating him like a fool.

"Everyone knows this is impossible, but this is what your federation means, so please..."

Sun Laifu didn't know what to say. When Jin Yiwei told him the news, he actually had the same idea as Tuxedo, thinking that the Northern Federation might be crazy.

But later, when Jin Yiwei came up with a telegraph machine that could send messages without relying on telegraph wires, he knew why the other party received that strange telegram.

PS: There are some flaws in today’s update, because the original plot of the smallpox plague was warned, so it had to be ended forcefully.

I was planning to use the plague to hit Southern California hard, but reality didn't allow it, and I didn't do anything.

Guys, don’t blame me (┯_┯)
