New Ming Empire mixed in America

The next day, the San Francisco newspapers published everything that happened in the port, including the clipper ship that was smashed into two pieces.

Terrence's plump face with a bright smile also made the front page headlines.

But he was given a controversial title: 'Is he a hero or a devil who caused the death of more than 300 people?'

The controversy quickly evaporated under the tough tactics of the city council.

Not only that, the San Francisco City Council also praised Terrence with great fanfare and praised him for upholding justice in San Francisco.

But these measures by the San Francisco City Council attracted a large number of protesters.

These workers, who were massively unemployed due to a city council ban on doing business with Los Angeles, blocked the doors of City Hall.

The mayor of San Francisco had no choice but to give a speech at the door: "Those Orientals have invaded our land, enslaved our people, and even used money to disrupt our social order!"

"So the City Council unanimously decided to impose sanctions on those Orientals in Los Angeles!"

"We San Franciscans should unite and not sell anything to Los Angeles from now on, especially food!"

The mayor of San Francisco's speech at this time can be said to be so sincere that it made people cry from the bottom of their hearts.

It's a pity that these unscrupulous people in San Francisco don't understand his painstaking efforts. They only value their own salary, so why can't they pay some price for the future of California?

It’s simply unreasonable!

If you don’t have a job, you’ll eat less and you won’t starve to death even after one meal a day. Why do you have to come here to protest?

The mayor's feeling is correct. These unscrupulous people in San Francisco really have no overall perspective.

Just like this, someone actually stood up and asked some questions that he thought were very stupid:

"Mr. Mayor, as far as I know, the location where Dongfang Li declared independence is the land he has purchased."

"May I ask where you came to the conclusion that he occupied the land in San Francisco?"

"And as far as I know, those workers who go to Los Angeles to build roads can eat every meal and their salary is 50% higher than in San Francisco."

"Excuse me, do you mean this kind of slavery by slavery?"

"As far as I know..."

The unruly voice continued, but the mayor interrupted him with a smile and said:

"Well, we'll talk after the speech. I think it will be a nice conversation."

After speaking, he made a hidden gesture to the audience. Soon two mounted policemen squeezed into the crowd, picked up the unruly man, and took him out roughly.

After seeing this scene, the mayor felt very relieved. These unruly people just needed to be dealt with.

What's wrong with a few people dying? Isn't it right to sacrifice oneself for the benefit of the United States?

Look at the Irish!

As a British colony, they were willing to starve to death more than a million people in order to put an extra potato on the tables of London gentlemen during the Great Famine.

Look at the good people of Ireland, and then look at you unscrupulous people, it is simply unreasonable!

"Please don't worry, our economy in San Francisco will get better soon, I swear!"

The mayor's speech was very successful. Shi Shiran walked back to the city hall amidst the roar of the workers.

The mayor is right, San Francisco's economy is indeed getting better, and it's getting doubling.

Because the prices of all commodities have begun to increase on a large scale. So if you just look at the numbers, San Francisco's economy has indeed improved a lot.

It stands to reason that if the goods cannot be sold, shouldn't the price be lowered? Especially the grain that is overstocked in the warehouse.

But it is very regrettable that while the capitalists poured milk into the sea, they said to the workers who could not afford to eat:

All this was caused by the Orientals in Los Angeles. So in order to save San Francisco's economy, commodity prices were temporarily doubled...

Li Mingqi cannot care about San Francisco's economic problems, but the problems of the people of the Xinming Empire are what he should care about.

When Wilson Jr. brought three immigrant boats into the Long Beach Pier, Liu Youcai, who was responsible for resettling the immigrants, was dumbfounded.

It was agreed that there would be fifteen clipper ships, but now there are only three ships docked. How could he not be embarrassed?

After Wilson Jr. finished telling what happened, the chief assistant of the empire, who was usually known for his "good temper", almost exploded with anger.

"You mean those white-skinned... ahem, those barbarians in San Francisco who detained our immigrants for no reason?"

After seeing the "honest" look on Song He's face and nodding repeatedly, Liu Youcai flicked his sleeves and said, "Come on, come with me to meet the saint. Those San Francisco barbarians are really bullying me!"

However, when Li Mingqi received the news, he was very calm. Because he knew that as long as he provided some valuable 'luxury goods' or aluminum, the people of the empire would be delivered safely.

He really knows those capitalists very well. As long as they make money, they can feed their conscience to dogs.

But this relaxation was broken two days later.

Li Mingqi's eyes turned cold as he held the newspaper sent by the traitor Steven from Santa Barbara.

"San Francisco...Terrence...very good!"

"Erhe, tell Sun Laifu to come see me immediately!"

After asking Liu Erhe to send someone to call Sun Laifu, Li Mingqi walked towards the Royal Academy.

At this time, due to the expansion of Xinming Town, the Royal Research Institute temporarily moved outside the city.

The original Xinming Town was designated as an imperial city by Liu Youcai, and he wanted to keep it for Li Mingqi to build an imperial palace.

The expanded Xinming Town was officially designated as the capital of the Xinming Empire and the seat of Yingtian Mansion.

When Li Mingqi walked into the Royal Academy, Zhang Yuzheng walked out with a happy face.

After seeing Li Mingqi, he was stunned for a moment, and then glared fiercely at Lao Li who was following him.

He thought it was this guy who couldn't save two ounces of sesame oil in his stomach, so he informed Li Mingqi in advance.

"Long live my Lord, are you here specifically to watch the mortar experiment?"

Zhang Yu asked carefully because he found that Li Mingqi's face was very ugly.

I don’t know which blind person made Long Live Master so angry.

"Oh? Has the range of the mortar been increased to 1,200 meters?"

Li Mingqi's face looked better after hearing Zhang Yu's words.

Although the mortars fired fiercely during the last military exercise, all the bombs fired were blanks, and the explosions in the distance were all prepared in advance.

As for why it was faked...it wasn't because the range of mortars at that time was not even 800 meters.

In addition, there were some flaws in the tail of the cannonball, and it was lucky not to fly back and blow up one of our own people, so we had no choice but to fake it.

"Long Live Master is really good at predicting things. Through the efforts of all members of the Royal Academy, we finally conquered the 1,200-meter mark and the range reached 2,100 meters!"

Zhang Yu's expression was very proud, and his face was also full of pride when he replied.

When Li Mingqi heard about the 2,100-meter shooting range, not only was he not happy, but his heart trembled.

You must know that during World War II, the range of the 60mm American M-2 mortar was only 1,840 meters.

Zhang Yu said that the Xinming Empire's mortars had a range of up to 2,100 meters, which made Li Mingqi wonder if something was wrong again.

Sure enough, when Li Mingqi arrived at the test firing range, he immediately saw the mortar that was one and a half meters long.

But this mortar placed on two wheels miraculously did not make Li Mingqi feel the slightest sense of violation.
