New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Today's telegram hasn't been sent yet, get up quickly!"

In the prison, the Jin Yiwei knocked on the cell door of Joe Zordon Gough and loudly reminded the guy who was sleeping soundly on the iron frame bed.

Joe Zordon Goff didn't dare to feel dissatisfied with his sleep being disturbed, so he could only get up and get dressed honestly.

After stretching out his hands for Jin Yiwei to put on handcuffs, he was released from the cell.

Now the Xinming Empire has been able to imitate simple handcuffs. Although they are not as good as professional handcuffs, they are still of much better quality than those available in adult stores.

Not to mention ordinary people, even a strong black man with strong muscles would have to spend a lot of effort to open it.

"Can I check in on that old guy Aubrey on the way out?"

Jordan Gough compared the detention locations of other people and was very satisfied with the current detention conditions.

He saw too many punishment methods here, each of which could give him nightmares for several days.

Among the spies and killers who came from the United Kingdom or the United States, under those punishments, none of them would rather die than surrender.

Yesterday, more than a dozen killers from Peru were captured. It was said that these idiots were smuggled into San Francisco.

They were arrested by Ming Xie troops before they even left the port area. The reason was that these people failed to follow traffic instructions when crossing the road.

Originally it was just a minor traffic obstruction problem, but since these people did not have temporary residence permits and were illegally carrying guns, it immediately became a major crime.

A final check revealed that not only were these people illegally armed with guns, but a large amount of explosives, poisons, hidden swords, short crossbows, etc. were also found on the boat they were smuggled into.

Papers with Li Mingqi's portrait printed on them and some property were also searched.

As a result, this case was elevated to a national security super case and was directly taken over by the National Security Bureau under Jin Yiwei.

Under severe torture, these people confessed the reason for coming to the Xinming Empire. They were ordered to come here to look for opportunities to assassinate Li Mingqi.

The torture process was also made public for the prisoners who were caught to watch in an immersive manner.

Joe Gordon Goff was lucky enough to be standing in the front row. The assassin's screams and the blood splattering were all important reasons why he was so honest now.

Regarding his request, the Jin Yiwei who escorted him thought about it and agreed to it. It was just a matter of walking a few more steps.

If I can get this guy to cooperate honestly, it won't be a big deal.

Soon, after walking around more than half of the cell, Jordan Gough saw as he wished, the senior military officers with the British who were being held in solitary confinement.

"Aubrey, you idiot, your stupidity caused this failure. If you had listened to me..."

Arriving in front of Aubrey's cell door, Joe Zordon Gough immediately became excited, pointed at the other person, and started yelling curses.

Looking at the emotional Joe Zordon, Aubrey's face showed shame and frustration.

The other party was right, all this was caused by his mistakes, and he was the sinner of Great Britain.

He did not open his mouth to refute or curse back, but silently endured Qiao Zorden's insults and accusations.

"Okay, hurry up and send the telegram. If it's too late, your domestic newspapers may find new topics to replace you."

Jin Yiwei reminded him impatiently, and then forcibly lifted Qiao Zuoden up and left.

"Wait, what telegram? Joe Zordon, what are you doing, you bastard?"

After listening to the conversation, Aubrey quickly reacted. No wonder this guy could still walk so freely in the Oriental's cell. It turned out that he was betraying the interests of Great Britain.

But his question was destined to be unanswered, because at this time, Joe Zordon had been dragged far away.

Just when Joe Zordon was sending telegrams to diplomats from the North and South of the United States, as well as Mexico and Tsarist Russia to popularize the "real experience" of the battle at that time, Li Mingqi was thinking deeply while holding the telegram from Mexico.

Because this is the second time that Mexico has asked Li Mingqi to send troops to help them fight against Wan San.

For the first time, Li Mingqi directly rejected the other party's proposal, only gave them some weapons and equipment again and sent the other party's envoys away.

This time, we were defeated by Mexican soldiers led by General Zaragoza in the city of Puebla, Mexico, and suffered heavy losses.

So some time ago, more soldiers were sent to Mexico.

The Mexican soldiers in Zaragoza's hands were also ambushed while pursuing the Nazi army and suffered heavy losses.

So this time Mexico not only sent a telegram to the Xinming Empire, but also sent an envoy once again to ask for Li Mingqi's help.

Li Mingqi has no interest in helping Mexico at all. What the Xinming Empire needs now is time to recuperate.

It is unwise to go up against an army with a third score. It is really stupid to send troops just for a few compliments from the other side.

But what made Li Mingqi hesitate this time was that Mexico agreed to cede part of its territory to the Xinming Empire, located in the Tabasco and Chiapas regions below Mexico.

Li Mingqi was confused when talking about the names of these two places, but with the map, Li Mingqi knew where they were.

This is near Nasan’s current occupation area!

An area equivalent to Guatemala or Honduras in later generations.

This is what makes Li Mingqi excited, because getting here means having an outlet in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Long live my lord, I think it's not worth fighting the French army for this enclave."

Liu Youcai expressed his opinions bluntly:

"If we send troops to this area, the French army is likely to go to war with us. Because it is too close to the French army's landing point..."

Li Mingqi also deeply believed in Liu Youcai's words, even though this land looked like a piece of fat.

But if the Xinming Empire takes a bite, it might become a shield for Mexico.

The west coast is blocked by the Baja California Peninsula that was just sold to the Xinming Empire, and the east wants to rely on this enclave to allow the Xinming Empire to resist the threat of Nasan.

Mexico's plan was very good. It wanted to lure the Xin Ming Empire into trouble.

If Mexico really gets what it wants, then in the future Li Mingqi will not only face three, but also the likes of England, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy, not to mention the likes of Italy, who will definitely come to join in the fun.

You must know that the Italian navy is also very strong now. During the Battle of Lisa in 1866, they could still hold off against the Austrian navy.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mingqi gave up the idea of ​​having an outlet in the Gulf of Mexico now.

It is more reliable to seek Texas, not only is it relatively close to the Xinming Empire, but it has also been managed by Li Mingqi.

Railways have also begun to be built, as have roads, and there are telegraph and telephone lines along the way.

In the future, large-scale radio base stations will be built to provide radio waves for wireless telegraphs or walkie-talkies.

The most critical point is that Li Mingqi must now fully guard against the maritime threat brought by the British.

Although some viscount who was afraid of death continued to exaggerate the strength of the Xinming Empire in telegrams.

But defeat on land does not mean that the British navy will be afraid.

If compared to the army, Daiying may not be at the forefront in Europe, but now they are the fathers of the world.

With India as the base camp of the servant army, the army with the British should not be booed. After all, everyone knows the common jokes about the British:

The British will never surrender until the last Indian's blood is shed. (From Churchill's theory, then 4 million Indians starved to death...)

Finally, there is also the matter about Tsarist Russia helping immigrants, which also gives Li Mingqi some headaches.

Tsarist Russia's gradual contempt for the New Ming Empire had made Li Mingqi alert.

Tsarist Russian diplomats were very polite when they begged the Xinming Empire to purchase Alaska.

Later, there were already some signs when he continued to sell shipbuilding workers to the Xinming Empire.

Then there was the matter of using serfs to threaten immigrants from the Xinming Empire some time ago, which made Li Mingqi come to a conclusion.

That was Tsarist Russia testing the bottom line of the New Ming Empire little by little.

In the past, because Li Mingqi had a mentality of demanding as much as he could from Tsarist Russian shipbuilders, this made the other party think that the New Ming Empire was afraid of Tsarist Russia.

Then he talked about helping the Xinming Empire to immigrate, further testing the bottom line of the Xinming Empire.

Because it can help the Xinming Empire immigrate, it can cut off the Xinming Empire’s immigration route!

And Li Mingqi took a step back when facing Tsarist Russian diplomats because the battleship had not yet been built.

But Li Mingqi's mind is so small. To say it is bigger than the tip of a needle is to overshadow the tip of the needle.

If it's about him, Li Mingqi won't hold grudges, but after rising to the Xinming Empire, Li Mingqi will directly become a petty person who loves to hold grudges.

So there is only one important thing now, and that is to develop the navy!
