I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 172 Roosevelt: Playing a good deck of cards makes you stink! Zhu Houzhao was horrified: Is the Qing Empire cheap?
"A thousand years away from us..."

"The Emperor of China's Tang Empire."

Zhu Houzhao's trumpet question happened to catch Roosevelt.

Unfortunately, he is very interested in things in the Far East, especially the Russo-Japanese War that is currently in full swing.

By the way, I also studied the relationship between these countries in Asia.

He had at least studied the history of China, plus Chinatown in the United States, and he also understood the Tang Empire.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you really want to know this? At the same time... I would like to take the liberty of asking you seniors, are you now... entering into some kind of special chat? Is this a discussion of state affairs? Will it offend anything? 】

However, Roosevelt did not rush to spoil the story, but rather cautiously explored it.

After all, although the explanation and guidance from this old acquaintance in Cleveland made him understand the chat group a little bit.

However, he still holds a wait-and-see and tentative attitude towards the specific functions and functions of chat groups.

Another thing is that there are really many American seniors in the group.

Big figures such as Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln have all paid attention to it. As an elite cultivated by a political and business family, he must also subconsciously consider whether others are willing to listen.

[American Taizong Jefferson: Well...Roosevelt, your cautious attitude is very good. This really requires seeking the opinion of the group owner. 】

Roosevelt's well-informed and sensible attitude reminded Jefferson of his previous cautiousness and wait-and-see attitude when he first entered the group. This gave Jefferson a good impression of Roosevelt, whom he had never met before.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Roosevelt, there is no need to be so cautious. Our group was originally meant for casual discussion, but...it is true. Now, the group leader seems to have adapted to Roosevelt and understands the rules. Do we have any special topics coming up? Will Roosevelt get points for answering His Majesty Lee's question? 】

Cleveland also understood Roosevelt's concerns and temptations, and took advantage of the situation to try to improve the rhythm of the chat group.

Other presidents also watched.

This is really a problem. Zhu Houzhao did not expect that Roosevelt was also a master who would not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit.

And...Cleveland is now completely motivated by points.

[Supreme group leader: Cleveland, don’t be in a hurry. It seems that you have only accomplished two tasks in guiding new people. Letting the Emperor of the East understand and understand the functions and responsibilities of our chat group is also part of the task of guiding newcomers. 】

[In addition, the group leader also announced the chat rules for this round. 】

[The first stage is to guide newcomers to understand our group purpose and rules. 】

[In the second stage, the new members report their work to the old members, reporting on their own situation and the difficulties they face. 】

[In the third stage, the group owner will continue to publish group tasks, including topic setting and other group function experiences. 】

[The fourth stage, free chat. 】

[Finally, due to the addition of 3 new members, the chat time has increased again. This time the chat time is 135 minutes. 】

[Now, it is still in the first stage. At each stage, the group leader will award points ranging from 1 to 20 points depending on the situation. 】

Zhu Houzhao immediately went to the main room to reiterate the rules.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: To be honest, I still don’t really understand what is going on here, and I don’t seem to understand what the group leader said. 】

The trumpet continues to pretend to be new.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, we are still in the newbie guidance stage. Obviously, it will be difficult for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to understand our group. However... President Grant, Roosevelt, and the group leader have already announced the agenda for the next chat, so you guys should probably know the communication procedures. Here, I would like to add some other rules for chat groups. 】

[Because this group is magical, it is not easy for the group leader to bring us together. So... our group chat time is limited, about once or twice a month, each time for an hour or two hours. The group leader has given us 135 minutes for this chat. Everyone should set aside time every once in a while. Just chat time. 】

[At the same time, in order to prevent meaningless and topicless chats from wasting our precious time. In addition, most of them are presidents, kings, and emperors. Obviously, it is destined that our chat content will be in the fields of country, politics, military, economy, people's livelihood, etc. The main purpose is to share everyone’s experience in governing the country and provide different governance ideas. Our chats are all conducted under the auspices of the group leader. 】

[In addition, the chat group also has some other magical functions. I’m afraid you may not be able to understand them at the moment. We’ll talk about them later. In short, if you participate in the chat discussion, the group owner will give points fairly. What are the uses of points? I will explain to you later when we have time to chat. So, Roosevelt and Grant, do you understand what I’m saying? 】

Cleveland is obviously better at being the group leader than Zhu Houzhao, and once again explained the chat rules in simple terms.

Moreover, he also summarized the previous chats and figured out the rules and topics involved in the chats.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to give him a thumbs up. This guy simply understood chat groups better than he did.

[Supreme Group Leader: Cleveland explained it well. This time for newbie guidance, I can give you 2 points. In addition, this group leader will let you host this chat. If the hosting effect is good, the group leader will give you 5 more points. 】

Zhu Houzhao immediately expressed his willingness to delegate power.

He completely regarded Cleveland as Huang Bao and others.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Thank you, group leader! I feel extremely honored and will do my best. So...Roosevelt, you see. This is the complete one-chat bonus mode. 】

[Now, this Yuwen...oh, no, this Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is still in doubt. I think maybe I should give him a make-up lesson so that he can understand as much as possible. Or starting from the direction he is interested in should allow him to quickly understand it all. Roosevelt, you might as well give him, or President Washington in the group, a good talk about the changing situation in the Eastern Empire, so that everyone can understand the position and position of the United States in the world. 】

[Group owner, let me apply to Roosevelt here, and he will explain to you from the starting point of why the Qing Empire declined and why the East declined. I think everyone will also be interested. For this reason, can you give him one or two points and reward him so that he can quickly adapt to the rhythm of our chat? 】

Cleveland was obviously very protective and took good care of Roosevelt.

He also used every opportunity to test the authority of Zhu Houzhao, the group leader, and strive for the maximum power of his moderator.

Tsk!
This Cleveland is simply more valuable than Liu Jin!
The rhythm of this chat group directly came to Zhu Houzhao's heart.

[Supreme group leader: This group leader can give 5 points. Whether Roosevelt's words are good or not depends on the evaluation of the group members. 】

[American Taizu Washington: I feel a more democratic atmosphere in the group. So... Roosevelt, don't be afraid, we also want to take this opportunity to understand the East. 】

[Meliezu Louis XVI: The chat group seems to be becoming more and more standardized. Group leader, can you give me this host? I feel... I can join in? 】

[ Mercer Lincoln: Your Majesty Louis XVI, are you sure that in addition to playing with locks, you can host the rhythm of the chat group? 】

When Louis XVI jumped out, Lincoln couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, subconsciously distrusting Louis XVI's ability to control the field so well.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Your Majesty Louis XVI, please stop causing trouble. I think Cleveland hosted it very well. In addition, I suggest... There are more people. It is better for everyone to watch more and say less irrelevant words to avoid wasting time. 】

Jackson, who had been silent for a long time, was bubbling.

[Meili Zong Grant: Wait...Is President Jackson also here? President Jackson, you are my idol, I didn’t expect you to be here too! 】

The appearance of Jackson made Grant a little excited. After all, he was an American soldier and had been exposed to Jackson's heroic deeds since he was a child.

Heroes cherish heroes, and he was a little excited to see Jackson.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Haha, Grant, I’ve heard of you too. However, now is not the time for small talk. We can exchange battle experiences when we have time. Now, let's leave the conversation to Cleveland. Don't let the Emperor of Tang Dynasty not understand again. 】

[Meili Zong Grant: OK, OK, OK. 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I also agree with President Jackson’s proposal. From now on, all presidents can speak less and speak more. 】

[Roosevelt, now...the chat group is left to you! You should try your best to clarify the doubts of this Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you haven't studied the East enough, I may be able to add something. 】

Cleveland regained its hosting rhythm in time.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: You have said so much... I still don’t understand. But I understand, so next, will His Majesty Roosevelt report the relevant situation to me? 】

Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the chat rhythm in time.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: I roughly understand all this. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, next... I will try the previous topic and explain it to you. If you don’t understand, just ask. 】

This introduction to the rules was demonstrated once again, and Roosevelt finally dispelled his doubts.

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Okay, I am all ears. 】

Zhu Houzhao looked forward to it.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Where do I begin...The decline of the East...]

Then, Roosevelt gathered his thoughts... and paused for a moment. This topic was quite huge, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

But soon, he had it.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Yes! Let’s start with the Eastern Datang Empire. It just so happens that you, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty... I’ll start with the Datang Empire. The Tang Empire... is considered a very powerful empire on our side, especially the Tang Empire... when was it founded? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Roosevelt, starting from about 600 AD, President Jackson, I want to add something here. This Tang Empire was another unified empire in China about forty years after the death of His Majesty Yuwen. This Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was probably the Emperor of the East one or two hundred years after His Majesty Yuwen left. During the same period... on the European side was the Eastern Roman Empire, and on the French side was the Kingdom of Burgundy. 】

Cleveland decisively realized that Roosevelt had a vague memory of this place, and quickly supplemented it with what Washington and others understood.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Your Majesty Yuwen? 】Roosevelt caught another person in Cleveland's mouth.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Roosevelt, you don’t have to worry, that’s the Eastern Emperor we invited in the last round. So...group leader, did you invite the Emperor of the East in order starting from His Majesty Yuwen Yun and the others? 】

Cleveland did not forget to test, and Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes.

[Supreme group leader: Cleveland, don’t test randomly, be careful you will lose your points. 】

Zhu Houzhao was speechless. This guy always used every opportunity to test and give timely warnings.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay, Roosevelt, you continue...]

Roosevelt was a little surprised and felt a little authority from the group leader.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Well, President Cleveland’s addition can be regarded as opening up my mind. That's it... During the period from about 600 AD to 900 AD, Your Majesty Li, compared with the Eastern Roman Empire and the Frankish Kingdom at the same time, your Tang Empire was undoubtedly a very powerful global empire... During the same period Even at its peak, the Eastern Roman Empire failed to unify Europe... But you have basically unified Asia. Even if the Eastern Roman Empire and the Frankish Kingdom meet you, they may fail...]

[If the world can navigate the world at that time, you will undoubtedly be a beacon! 】

【The most powerful empire in the world. 】

Roosevelt began to give Zhu Houzhao the historical position of the popular science of the Tang Dynasty from a global perspective.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Wait... is the East so powerful? Are Franks and Eastern Rome inferior to them? 】

Louis XVI duly expressed surprise.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Your Majesty Louis XVI, you must pay attention to our premise! During the same period, the Eastern Tang Empire was equivalent to the entire unified Europe. Did the Eastern Romans and the Franks do this? What's more, as far as I know... At its peak, the Tang Empire even occupied almost one-half of Russia's territory... Your Majesty Napoleon, the most powerful in France, failed. 】

[By the way, do you know Napoleon? His Majesty Louis XVI? 】

Roosevelt also thought of this. He would not pick up any pot.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Forget it, don’t talk about it, I know Napoleon. 】

Louis XVI decisively shut up and felt the shock of the Tang Empire.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Our Tang Dynasty... is already very powerful. What's more, during the Emperor Gaozong's reign, the 10,000 miles from Chang'an to the Western Regions were all the territory of our Tang Dynasty. But what is Europe and what is Asia? In this world, apart from the Tang Dynasty... aren't there just some small countries in the Western Regions? What kind of small foreign countries are Eastern Rome and Frank? 】

Zhu Houzhao was not affected by Louis XVI, and he also showed cultural confidence in a timely manner, asking questions and continuing to regain the rhythm of the chat.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Eastern Rome...Frank, a small country? 】

Louis XVI was apparently injured again.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Haha... You can indeed say this about the Tang Empire. During that period, Eastern Rome and Frankia were indeed small countries. However, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, one thing I want to correct you is... Eastern Rome and Frank are not small. Asia is considered your Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence... At the same time, the world was still very big. On the European side, there was... a huge territory like your Datang Empire. On these territories, there were dozens and hundreds of different sizes. nation. 】

Obviously, Roosevelt also tried his best to describe it in words that Li Zhen could understand.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: Is this so? What happened next...]

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Later... your Tang Dynasty Empire also collapsed like other empires... This news didn't shock you, did it? 】

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Uh... Our Tang Dynasty was destroyed? Okay, I... I want to slow down, you continue...]

[Merceron Roosevelt: Haha, you don’t have to be depressed. Because in fact, for your Eastern Empire... changing dynasties is just another family taking charge of the East. Anyway... starting from your time, in the next few hundred years, your Eastern Dynasty... will be unified by tens of millions of people. The great Asian empire, at the same time... Europe has never been unified, just like your Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Therefore, in terms of various strengths, resources, influence, and technological development... you are all well-deserved No. 1 in the world. 1. The eastern beacon of human civilization. 】

Zhu Houzhao was said to be a little proud.

At the same time, I also had a general understanding of the overall situation in Europe.

It turns out that there was no unification there, and it had always been a vassal state in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

With that said, he understood everything.

[American Taizu Washington: Wait...a few centuries ago, the East was a great Asian empire unified by tens of millions of people? Is this so terrible? 】

At this time, Washington had a general intuitive understanding of the historical context of the East.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Is this... so powerful? 】

Louis XVI also understood.

Zhu Houzhao became more and more proud. If we look at the disputes between princes in Europe during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they are indeed terrifying and powerful.

I have to thank Brother Shihuang for this!
[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: The beacon of human civilization. I don’t understand this evaluation. But I can understand, our Datang is great and powerful, right? Even if we perish, we Tang people are still very good, right? 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Understandable! You Chinese people are indeed excellent, and your empire has a profound influence. We in the United States now have many Chinatowns. Chinese people are indeed more diligent and outstanding than other people. 】

Although Roosevelt was in office, he still made the "Chinese Exclusion Attack" permanent.

But now, he obviously talks about people, talks about ghosts, and picks up pleasant things to say.

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Haha, is it true? 】

If Cleveland hadn't shown its fear of Daming before, Zhu Houzhao would have really believed it.

However, he did pay attention to something here... Are there many Ming people in the United States? Did the Ming people also go to the United States two or three hundred years later?
Then why didn't he rebel against the United States and become king himself? Do you really want to be ruled by the United States?
Let’s make a mark here.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Really... you Chinese people are the only smart and hard-working people in the world. Anyway...very good! You have been leading the world trend for almost hundreds of years, and it was not until 1700 or 1800, when we in the West had the British Empire, the French Empire, and the German Empire that you gradually lost your unique influence and status in the world. . 】

[Even in 1776, when the United States was founded... you were in Asia, and you didn't dare to touch it until the sun set. I could only test you step by step to see if you were weak or still strong...]

[Even... we have to unite more than a dozen countries before we dare to attack you. 】

[After all... how you behaved before I knew your reality. Too scary. 】

[A Qing Empire that far exceeded the land area of ​​Europe, with a population of more than 200 million... During the same period, it was even comparable to the British Empire on which the sun never sets. 】

[You have also accumulated at least two thousand years of struggle and war history, and you have countless wealth and talents. 】

[Really, on the surface... you are at least still the leading empire in the world. 】

Speaking of this paper strength, Roosevelt really lamented that iron cannot become steel.

With such a good foundation and family background, he was stunned... he was defeated by the tiny Japanese country.

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Wait...a few hundred years later, we are gradually losing our unique influence and status in the world. What's going on? I hear why something is getting worse and worse? 】

Zhu Houzhao decisively realized that the key point was here.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Speaking of this...that's the key! Anyway, since your East, around 1700, changed a family to take charge of the Eastern Empire, your East has implemented a stagnant development path that is similar to self-castration and self-cutting. Become like a stubborn and uncivilized savage. Arrogant, proud, arrogant, even disobeying promises, tearing up treaties at will, and even a little foolish! 】

[Mercerson Roosevelt: Anyway...after changing the owner, you are like frogs at the bottom of a well, becoming uninterested in progress. We have only seen a little bit of the world, and even the navy that could dominate the world in the 16th century is no longer there. We... No, after the British's powerful ships and cannons opened the door to your country, you didn't realize the gap... you still stubbornly thought that you were still number one in the world...]

【on the contrary! Japan, which is almost your subordinate country... after being beaten by the Europeans, realized the gap. It only takes a few decades of development to directly defeat the seemingly powerful Eastern Empire like yours. 】

[After that battle, everyone realized that you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside...]

[So even those Spanish bastards can still bully you! 】

[Anyway, you may not understand the metaphor of Spain... Let’s use Japan as a metaphor. A small island country can push you to the ground and beat you violently... After you are beaten, you still stand up with a smile and ask them if their hands hurt. And Japan... is just a little puppy in our eyes of the United States, where the sun never sets. In this way, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, do you understand? 】

[In short... your current family is equivalent to holding a deck of cards that is better than all the countries in the world! 】

[But he was beaten to a pulp by this family! In short, I don’t understand the thinking of the current head of your family at all...]

[How could they be beaten to such a pulp! 】

【What a great card! If they had followed your Eastern wisdom of thousands of years and been more modest, they wouldn't have been so arrogant... Let the sun never set on the heroes! What's more, the power of that family has always been tightly held in its hands, unlike us...our power is subject to various restrictions. 】

[If I had the power of your Dongfang family and so many citizens... I would have pressed the sun to the ground and rubbed it! 】

At this point, Roosevelt was even more heartbroken. The reason was entirely out of jealousy that his opponents, who clearly had such good cards, played like this, failing to help them limit their arrogance. They had to rely on the British to do things.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: What? We were rubbed on the ground by the Japanese... After being beaten violently, we got up and asked them with a smile on their faces whether their fists hurt! ? This...how is this possible! ? 】

This time... Zhu Houzhao was completely shocked and appalled. He didn't understand a little bit about other things, but the Japanese country could rub them against the ground. He couldn't understand this huge psychological gap.

And... after being beaten, he still smiled and asked the enemy if the fist hurt. Is this royal family of the Qing Empire cheap?
Roosevelt's vivid metaphor made Zhu Houzhao seem to see the picture!
