New Ming Empire mixed in America

On June 13, 1863, Shi Dakai was captured.

At this time, Li Mingqi felt a little sad for a moment when he looked at the information about the pseudo-Qing Dynasty in June that was sent back with the immigration ship.

What this information says is that in June, Shi Dakai was deceived into surrendering by a false Qing official.

Subsequently, Shi Da's promise to open up his soldiers was also broken by Fake Qing.

Moreover, Li Mingqi also knew that Shi Dakai was executed by the puppet Qing Lingchi on August 6, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom entered a countdown to its demise.

In his previous life, Li Mingqi heard someone say that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was responsible for the deaths of many people in China.

And the entire article does not mention that it was the pseudo-Qing who took action, and threw all the responsibility on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. (Today’s content in the author group)

Li Mingqi really wanted to open the other person's head to see if there was shit inside.

As long as they have a chance to survive, will Chinese farmers stand up and resist for no reason?

Why is the Taiping Rebellion called the Peasant Rebellion in history?

Use your brain and think about it!

The pseudo-Qing Dynasty is not without its merits. At least it allows us to see how bad a dynasty can be. It has left a profound negative example for future generations and urges people not to imitate it!

Putting down the information in his hand, Li Mingqi asked the Jin Yiwei who came to report: "Have all the immigrants on the ship been screened?"

Jin Yiwei quickly replied: "Your Majesty, we have identified them all. Almost all the immigrants coming this time are spies from the Puppet Qing Dynasty and merchants sent by the Hunan Army and the Huai Army."

Hearing about the Huai Army, Li Mingqi remembered that Li Hongzhang stationed in the Magic City last year and did many great things this year.

Like his mentor Zeng, Li Hongzhang united with the foreign troops led by his good friend Gordon to besiege the Taiping Army in Suzhou.

After persuading them to surrender, they killed all the surrendered Taiping soldiers in the city. No one knows the exact number, but it was at least 20,000.

Gordon was a friend of Li Hongzhang who shamelessly used the tariffs from the capital city to feed him. After Suzhou surrendered, Gordon, who had not benefited from getting involved, even led his troops to ask for a share of the dividends from Li Hongzhang.

In the end, Li Hongzhang took out a reward of 70,000 yuan and gave it to others.

"Li Hongzhang..." After Li Mingqi muttered a few sentences, he suddenly discovered that this guy also had the surname Li!

Li Mingqi doesn't want to say much about Li Hongzhang, but he is very uncomfortable with it anyway.

Not only was it the reason why he signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" and many other unequal treaties, but it was also the reason why he was resentful of this guy for learning from foreigners but enriching his own pockets.

He was said to be a major figure in the Westernization Movement, but in the end he accomplished nothing, and his mouth was full of oil.

There is also the Tianjin Mission Case, Li Hongzhang’s first foreign-related case. (Don’t delete those four words. Why can’t I write it if it is recognized by the country?)

Good guy, when you first come up, you first apologize to the foreigners and then deal with those stubborn people who dare to be disrespectful to the foreigners.

Killed 16 people, exiled 25 people, dismissed Zhang Guangzao, the prefect of Tianjin, and Liu Jie, the county magistrate, and sent them to the army. He sent Chonghou to France to "apologize" and pay more than 500,000 taels of silver to various countries.

This is what Li Mingqi didn't want to see Li Hongzhang. He kept saying that he was just a hypocrite with the foreigners, but what Li Mingqi saw was a living soft head, and he didn't take it hard!

Don't say that the Puppet Qing court made him soft. At that time, he was able to protect the Southeast Asia against the Puppet Qing for his own interests. Why did he listen to the Puppet Qing's words so much when dealing with the outside world?

Why could the officials who died at his hands be so cruel to foreigners but he couldn't?

"Catch him, interrogate him, and then kill him who deserves to be killed!"

After Li Mingqi finished speaking, he asked Jin Yiwei to go out.

In fact, Li Mingqi didn't have much resentment towards the merchants who came from the Puppet Qing Dynasty. As long as they conducted business peacefully, no one could say anything.

But even such a basic requirement cannot be fulfilled by these merchants who go overseas.

Making money is not a big deal, but working for foreigners at this time is a bit too much.

The things done by the first two batches of merchants who came to the Xinming Empire were simply chilling.

After shaking his head and burying all the depression in his heart, Li Mingqi prepared to go to the factory for an inspection.

But before he could leave the study, Liu Erhe ran over and reported an important piece of news.

"Long live my lord, Nathan's army captured the capital of Mexico, and the Mexican leader named Juarez ran away!"

Li Mingqi was a little stunned when he heard the news. He didn't expect that Mexico would be defeated so quickly.

"Isn't the Queen's envoy with the British still in Mexico? How could Nazana occupy their capital?"

Because the Queen's envoy with the British was in Mexico, Li Mingqi felt that Mexico could survive for a while.

"There is news that the special envoy left a few days ago..."

Liu Erhe said something again that made Li Mingqi a little stunned.

After listening, Li Mingqi sighed and couldn't help but say: "Playing politics is really dirty..."

Can it not be dirty?

Some time ago, Mexico was encouraged to attack the New Ming Empire, saying that the British would help them mediate the war with Nasan.

Now it seems that the Mexican government has been fooled.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the Queen's envoy took three steps to occupy the Mexican capital?

"Let Sun Laifu stop being idle. We must get the minerals that Mexico previously mortgaged to us. Let's do this. You notify Sun Laifu and tell him that the National Defense Forces have entered Mexico to set up defenses."

After finishing speaking, Li Mingqi walked back and forth a few steps and stopped Liu Erhe who was about to go out and continued to give instructions:

"Let the construction team follow me into Mexico and build the railway for me first. I don't want Nasan's army to appear outside Yingtian Mansion."

The last time Mexican soldiers crossed the border, they directly threatened the security of Yingtian Mansion.

This made Li Mingqi realize that Yingtianfu needed a piece of land to serve as a buffer zone.

You can't just let people hit you directly near Yingtian Mansion every time something happens. It's too passive.

The next day, Li Mingqi got more detailed information from Jin Yiwei.

One of the pieces of news about Juarez concerned Li Mingqi very much.

"You mean that guy was taken in by the Confederates?"

As for Juarez, Li Mingqi will definitely arrest him and face trial.

Li Mingqi has labeled anyone who dares to sign and agree to send troops to invade the Xinming Empire as a war criminal.

It doesn't matter whether other countries recognize it or not, but invading the Xinming Empire is definitely a war criminal.

No matter who he is, he will be judged by the Xinming Empire.

If given the chance, Li Mingqi also wanted to hang Queen Victoria on the gallows in the port area.

No, hanging would be too cheap for her.

Even if they were ordered to Lingchi a hundred times, it would not be enough to compensate for the crimes Dai Ying and Na San committed in China.

Just the fact that these countries carry out the Chinese labor trade openly is enough to kill them.

Not to mention the various treaties they signed with the puppet Qing Dynasty, not to mention the tragedy that they helped the Japanese build warships to check and balance the Beiyang Navy.

There are also various cultural relics they took away from China and put them in museums to humiliate China.

None of these things can make Li Mingqi have the slightest fondness for them. Lingchi is their destination.

"Your Majesty, it is true that he has been taken in by the Southern Alliance, and is also preparing to help him establish a government-in-exile."

Jin Yiwei's words made Li Mingqi frown, thought for a while and said: "Send someone to communicate with the Southern Alliance and say that I hope these war criminals will be extradited to the Xinming Empire to face trial."
