Chapter 1216 Anti-Ming is for Living (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
"There will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers!"

Using these words to describe the impression of the Ming Empire on the whole world could not be more appropriate.

Maybe the Ming Empire was perfect in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of some people, the Ming Empire was completely useless.

One thing that is certain is that in the eyes of John Andre, the Ming Empire is useless. He was the first American reporter to "expose the truth".

"Gentlemen, many people say—sir, you said that the Ming Empire was barbaric and cruel, but haven't you seen that the Ming Empire is cutting down the tropical rainforest to build apartment buildings for the aboriginals who only knew savage fighting before? But..."

In the banquet hall of the hotel, John Andre said excitedly.

"Have you ever been to Daming? I have been there. Yes, they allocated land to the Indians, built apartment buildings for them, and let those savages live a modern and civilized life, but the people there What about white people?"

Standing on the stage, John looked around at the people in the banquet hall and continued.

"Their land was plundered, just like Mr. Garcia..."

John set his sights on a well-dressed gentleman with a distinctly Hispanic appearance.

"His ancestors arrived in Peru in 300 years, and the wealth accumulated by nearly ten generations of hard work, was squeezed overnight because of the invasion of the Ming Empire, his brother was killed, his nephew's whereabouts were unknown, and then his The land was given to those savage Indians!"

For a moment, there was an uproar in the banquet hall, and all the guests, regardless of gender, were talking there.

"Gentlemen, this is the invasion of the Ming Empire, which brought disasters to the white people. Yes, they are the liberators of the black people... I know that even in New York, there are many people who compliment Emperor Shengde so much, thinking that he is a historical figure. The most benevolent empire ever—never has anyone set so many free and sent them home."

Turning the subject, John said.

"But what did the Brazilian freed slaves do when they went to Africa? They acted as thugs of the empire. They killed the natives who rebelled against the empire. Yes, some were liberated, but many more were enslaved. , built tens of thousands of miles of railways in the African Empire, but there is a skeleton of an aborigine under every sleeper there..."

This is a rumor!

Mark Twain in the audience had this deviation in his mind. The reason why he felt this way was because he had been to Daming. Too much civilization.

Even in Africa!

Unlike the British and Germans who frantically massacred the African natives, the Ming people reclaimed land in Africa to let the natives who only knew savage fighting before enter the modern civilized society.

One thing that is certain is that this is a manifestation of the superiority of Chinese civilization over Western civilization.

Although he despised the rumors spread by his friends here, Mark Twain heard applause around him, and it seemed that everyone believed that what John Andre said was true.

They want to believe it!

Mark Twain knew very well why these people were willing to believe that Daming was evil.

"For them, there is nothing more reassuring than that Ming Dynasty is evil and that empire is an evil empire."

Mark Twain thought silently, he thought of the drastic changes in people's lives that he witnessed when he visited Daming for the second time, although that country was not perfect, and indeed, as John said, there were some injustices there , For example, some discrimination against whites, or against Spanish people who cannot speak Chinese, mixed races, including Indians, but it is fair there.

Everyone's life there is very happy, even a poor white person will not live in a dark and damp slum, enduring the torture of disease and misery.

"That world is the world people desire!"

While sighing, Mark Twain certainly knew why John gave such a speech, it was to make money.

To make money, business is not shabby.

In fact, for the bankrupt Mark Twain, he was quite envious of John. They visited Daming together and witnessed Ming's rule over Argentina, but John found a wealth code.

After they returned to China, John Andre continued to publish a large number of anti-Ming articles in newspapers. Nine out of ten of his articles were articles "exposing the truth about Ming Dynasty". The "civilized and decent" way of life is only for the Ming people, to be precise, it is exclusive to the yellow Chinese people. The white people live in miserable slums, and the beautiful white women just rely on their poor bodies in exchange for better things life.

It is also because of this that he has received so many invitations to speak, thus earning wealth that ordinary people may not be able to earn in their lifetime.

"...Now in Peru, more and more Caucasian women are marrying Daming people, that is, Chinese Daming people, but what about men? Their fate is tragic. They can only find an Indian woman, or even have no wife for life ..."

As the "anti-Ming vanguard", John Andre once again showed the world the "truest side" of the empire through his speech, where he warned all Americans to be vigilant and told American politicians to Taking anti-Ming as the top priority, otherwise, the United States will soon become another Peru. Of course, it is also warning the rich people in the United States-if the Ming Empire occupies the United States, their wealth will be taken away. Like Mr. Garcia, he will lose all his property.

Of course, all this not only made John Andre gain reputation, but also gained wealth. After the speech, John Andre became the center of the whole banquet, and everyone surrounded him and chatted with him. I want to continue discussing Daming's threat with him.

After the banquet was over, in another room, Garcia directly gave John Andre a warm hug.

"Dear Mr. Andre, your speech today will definitely cause a sensation in New York!"

After a warm hug, Garcia looked very excited.

"I believe that after your speech, many people will realize the threat of the Ming Empire, the threat to the United States, the threat to white people and white civilization."

"Yes, Mr. Garcia, the threat from Ming Dynasty is threatening the entire United States!"

John Andre said,
"They are using their so-called beautiful life to confuse the hearts of Americans. They are trying to convince the whole world that the life of Ming Dynasty is the best, and even the rule of Ming Dynasty is the most civilized. However, Garcia Sir, all of this is at the price of you, us...all of our wealth being plundered and robbed..."

John Andre's anger naturally aroused Garcia's approval, and then they discussed together for a long time, discussing Daming's hypocrisy, Daming's hypocrisy and barbarism, and of course, all kinds of atrocities.

In the end, when John Andre left, there was another check in his wallet, which was the reward for Mr. Garcia's invitation to give a lecture-500 US dollars.

When John Andre got into the car with a smile on his face, he looked at Mark Twain and said.

"Look, it's as simple as that, my friend, as long as you want, with your reputation, someone will invite you soon, just add fuel and vinegar to tell something that people are willing to hear, and the money will fly into your pocket inside……"

Here comes John again.

"The income from today's speech is 500 US dollars, which is just enough to buy two radios made in Ming Dynasty. Do you know that as long as the machine is connected to the electricity, you can listen to music, no records..."

Well, anti-Ming is just a business, a job, but Ming goods are still very good.
