I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 263 Norton I, the beautiful Wuzong Wilson Zhu Houzhao joins the group! The time for a battle has come!
Xiaoling.

Zhu Houzhao briefly ended the conversation.

He walked over to the room that had already been prepared.

"Your Majesty, there really is someone inside."

"But most of them passed out."

In a stone room, Zhu Houzhao saw this group of time and space experts appearing neatly with their beds.

"They will probably wake up in another hour."

"Huang Bao, this group of telegraph talents is now in your hands. There are people among them who can speak our language, so you can just use our language when the time comes."

"Give it to this group of people. I hope you can treat them well."

"I'll leave the telegram from Nanjing to the capital to you."

Zhu Houzhao’s first priority was naturally not to attract new members to the group.

Instead, we need to first accommodate these experts who come to support us.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Huang Bao took the order.

Zhu Houzhao walked towards the second room. The second room had the same layout, with a thousand experts and technical personnel lying there in a coma.

"Li Shan, these 1,000 people are steelmaking talents, and they are in your hands! The railways from Jinling to the capital and from Jinling to Chang'an are in your hands."

The steel talent Zhu Houzhao was handed over to the Minister of Works Li Shan.

"Your Majesty, I obey your command." Li Shan accepted the order.

Zhu Houzhao walked towards the third room.

"President, these 1,000 people are agricultural planting experts. I leave them to you."

"I accept your order!"

"Duke Wei, these 1,000 men are talented at making guns, cannons and ships. I leave them to you!"

"Liu Jin...these thousand people..."

"Qian Ning, these one thousand people..."

"Lin Han, these one thousand people..."

Eight thousand worker experts in professional fields were quickly assigned by Zhu Houzhao to people he currently trusted.

"Another point is that these talents are not all in the same field as yours. After your initial integration, you can exchange talents among them."

"I hope these eight thousand men can be put to good use!"

"Of course, if they commit crimes, they will be punished accordingly. If their crimes are extremely serious, I will deal with them."

After the personnel were assigned, Zhu Houzhao gave some more instructions.

Naturally, they had previously conducted specific discussions on how to place and utilize this group of talents.

Now, just reiterating.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Everyone took the order and began to get busy, moving this group of people directly to the location and area that had already been settled.

Fortunately, the new Xiaoling Mausoleum had been completed long ago, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

"Eight thousand people, what effect can it bring?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the busy crowd and had great expectations for the changes these eight thousand people would bring to the Ming Dynasty.

This was the key to the Ming Dynasty's transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

However, now, he doesn't have high expectations.

It will take time for these talents to be transformed into concrete productive forces.

After arranging these people, he returned to his stone chamber again.

[Chat group, refresh new member card group! ]

【…】

……

[Messenger Roosevelt: By the way, will there be a president after me this time? I'm actually a little nervous! ]

While Zhu Houzhao was arranging new members to join the group, Roosevelt and others in the chat group were waiting patiently.

However, Roosevelt, who was always calm and stable, could not help but feel a little nervous when he thought about the possibility of someone becoming the president after him.

[Louis XVI: I am curious, who will be the new Eastern Emperor? Is he as interesting as His Majesty Li or His Majesty Yuwen?]

[Mei Yingzong Cleveland: I hope that a space-time near us can come soon... Right now, only Roosevelt and I are supporting you. We haven't received much in return yet, and we can't support you any longer.]

Cleveland is sincerely looking forward to coming to the American time and space with relatively strong comprehensive strength.

[Supreme group leader: No need to guess! @All members, please welcome the new members @Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao @American Wuzong Thomas Woodrow Wilson @American Emperor Joshua Abraham Norton I! ]

New members have arrived.

This time Zhu Houzhao found himself in a bit of bad luck.

All the cards that were swiped out were ones that had already appeared.

After careful selection, two relatively unfamiliar newcomers were finally chosen.

As for his small account this time, he went straight to the real one!
The current Ming Dynasty is definitely no longer the Ming Dynasty in history.

Now, there are so many unpredictable changes in the Ming Dynasty that he actually has no idea what to do.

I urgently need to know the original historical line so that I can compare it with the current development of the Ming Dynasty.

[American Emperor Cleveland: Wait...American Emperor Norton! What's going on? Group leader, didn't you bring our Norton I here?]

[Meishizu Lincoln: Our American Emperor Norton I...wait, I also have a bad feeling! @American Emperor Norton I, you are not the San Francisco Emperor we know, right? ]

【Meishezong Roosevelt: Something is wrong! Something is wrong... Group leader, you are not going to bring in the real American emperor, are you? What can he do if he comes in?】

As soon as the new member joined the group, the appearance of Norton I, the orthodox emperor of the United States, directly made Lincoln, Cleveland and Roosevelt a little confused.

The reactions of the three people surprised Zhu Houzhao. What was going on?
[American Emperor Norton I: God, what is this place? Who is playing a prank on me? How dare you offend the American Emperor! ]

Before Zhu Houzhao could reply, Norton I had already spoken.

[Mei Lizong Grant: No way, no way... is this really our true American emperor? ]

As soon as he spoke, Grant couldn't hold back any longer.

[American Emperor Washington: So... what's going on? Roosevelt, didn't you say that we in America don't have an imperial system? Now there is a real American emperor? I am not the first American emperor? ]

Washington was a little confused.

[Louis XVI: Why do I feel that this emperor is not simple? @American Emperor Norton I, Your Majesty, when were you the emperor of America? Do you recognize me? ]

Louis XVI was a little confused, but he still greeted him.

【Emperor Norton I of the United States: Um... Washington? Louis XVI... and Lincoln? What's wrong with you? Where is this place? A prank? Am I dreaming?】

Norton I was obviously curious and surprised.

[Messiah Roosevelt: It is confirmed, this is our legitimate American emperor! Norton I! ]

[Mei Yingzong Cleveland: Group leader, you are joking a little too much. I am afraid that calling him in will be of no use to our great cause. ]

Roosevelt and Cleveland were depressed and speechless again.

【Emperor Jackson: Hmm? So, who is this Emperor Norton I?】

Jackson was curious. [Louis XVI: Yeah...are you kidding? Great cause is useless? Who is he?]

Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and others all looked hesitant.

【Meishizu Lincoln: Okay, let me tell you! Or, Your Majesty Norton, would you like to introduce yourself in person? This place is not a joke, nor a prank. With your knowledge, you should be able to adapt quickly. This place has our founding president Washington, and the heavenly chat group of all previous presidents... Newcomer @Meiwuzong Wilson, I am Lincoln, and the people who are talking are Washington, Jackson, Louis XVI, etc... You should know, right?】

【We are the ones who have passed away.】

But we are in heaven now...

Lincoln introduced it somewhat helplessly and reluctantly.

[American Wuzong Wilson: A deceased president? No, President Roosevelt is not dead yet. I think I need to calm down and wait and see.]

[Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao: So...what is this place and who are you? I am also very curious! ]

[Emperor of the United States, Norton I: Washington, Jackson, Lincoln...Chat group of all the presidents in heaven? I am not the president of the United States, I am the emperor of the United States! So, now that I have met the dead presidents, am I going to die too? ]

Norton I obviously didn't understand the situation, so it was obviously impossible to ask him to introduce himself.

[American King Cleveland: All right! Dear presidents, let me introduce you to Norton I! He is our American emperor! However, he is a self-proclaimed emperor! He is just an ordinary, somewhat crazy American citizen! On September 1859, 9, he published an edict through a San Francisco newspaper, declaring himself the Emperor of the United States and the Regent of Mexico! ]

[Then... he once wrote a letter to Queen Victoria of England, and when he died, the locals honored him as "His Majesty the Emperor", which made him an American emperor that we civilians jokingly recognized! He had no power, and his only power was... to eat at the best restaurants in San Francisco. And he would always publish news in the newspapers to disband our American army...]

[The only benefit to San Francisco is that he will supervise the construction of municipal facilities and the work attitude of the police as the emperor of the United States...]

[In short, he is just an American old man who is bored, idle, bankrupt, and trying to interfere in politics. We American citizens are just making fun of him.]

[Bringing him here... is like pulling a circus monkey into a group of tigers...]

Looking at Louis XVI and others who were still unclear about the situation, Cleveland helplessly and speechlessly introduced Norton's life.

[Emperor Jackson: ...through newspapers, he declared himself the Emperor of America and the Regent of Mexico, an ordinary American old man? ]

Jackson's mouth twitched, unable to spit.

【American Emperor Washington: Ah, this? This is also possible? Is it so easy to be the emperor of America? 】

Washington, who had just proclaimed himself emperor, felt that his previous operation of proclaiming himself emperor was a bit complicated and redundant after seeing Norton I's operation.

【Louis XVI: Puff! Hahahaha… He published a newspaper declaring himself the Emperor of America, so he is the Emperor of America? Is it that easy for you Americans to become the Emperor? Washington, why do I feel like laughing! Were you too cautious in your previous actions…】

[Emperor Jefferson: Is it that easy to be an emperor? So...Lincoln, Cleveland, didn't you tell Washington that it was that easy to be an emperor?]

Jefferson wanted to laugh, too, and he really couldn't help it.

The appearance of Norton I was a fatal blow to Washington, who had just become emperor.

Zhu Houzhao also wanted to laugh, but he didn't expect that his unintentional act would actually show off to Washington.

【Mercius Lincoln: We didn't think of it for a while. Besides, we are discussing seriously and becoming emperor. We can't compare it to... President Washington. Don't take it too seriously. Compared with him, you have lowered your status.】

Who would consider such a sick idea of ​​becoming emperor?

Lincoln was telling the truth.

[American Emperor Washington: I... Sorry, I need to digest this! He declared himself emperor so easily... You didn't punish him in any way? ]

Washington was deeply offended.

【American Emperor Grant: President Washington, if we really want to compete with His Majesty Norton, we will really lower our status! He just proclaimed himself the Emperor of the United States. It is not illegal or unconstitutional. In the design and improvement that you and we made later, there was no special provision that this is illegal. We American citizens can legally and reasonably declare ourselves the Emperor of the United States.】

Well, the boomerang flew back and stabbed me hard.

[American Taizu Washington:...]

Washington was speechless and depressed again, and even felt that he had lost face in the group.

【American Yingzong Cleveland: Haha, in fact, sometimes politics is no better than a child's play. It was our mistake. We should have made your coronation ceremony, President Washington, more hasty. Well, I also roughly understand why the group leader invited His Majesty Norton I to come in. It is to remind us... that there are some things that we should not think too much about, right? In the eyes of the group leader, some of our so-called politics are actually no different from His Majesty Norton's child's play, right?】

Cleveland is being clever again.

[Messiah Roosevelt: Cleveland, what you said seems... to be correct! The way we look at His Majesty Norton now is actually similar to how the group leader looks at us doing these things? It's just a game...]

Cleveland's imagination immediately made Roosevelt feel the philosophical depth.

[Supreme Group Leader: Yes, that's right! Everything you do is just a game in my eyes. So, you have to speed up the game.]

Unexpectedly, I accidentally fell hard on this candidate.

Fortunately, with Cleveland's imagination, Zhu Houzhao naturally just went with the flow.

[Emperor of the United States, Norton I: So... what are you talking about? I, the Emperor of the United States, am recognized by everyone! This is no joke! You are making fun of me one by one, but I want to use the supreme authority of the Emperor of the United States to declare that you, a bunch of traitors, are disrespectful to me! ]

Norton I obviously still didn't understand the situation and seemed to understand it but not quite.

After all, Cleveland and his friends' conversation was a little too in-depth.

【Meishizu Lincoln: So, sometimes, we can temporarily ignore His Majesty Norton. His Majesty Norton...you don't have to rush to speak in the group, just take a look first. This is a place where we really and seriously discuss America's national affairs, and this is your opportunity.】

[If you cooperate with us well... we can really guide you and support you to run for the US president. It is not impossible for you to realize your dream of becoming the real emperor of the United States.]

[American British Emperor Cleveland: President Lincoln's idea seems to work! With our current American system, with our support, His Majesty Norton may really move into the White House. Anyway, it doesn't matter who is president from 1865 to 1880, right? ]

Lincoln's words made Cleveland really consider this path.

[Emperor of the United States Norton I: Huh? I want to be the President of the United States? Isn't this lowering my status? I don't want to be the Emperor of the United States, but to be your President? Even a dog wouldn't even be a President!]

Norton I was not happy.

【Louis XVI: Phew... Well said! We are not emperors anymore, but we want to be the president of the United States. This is really a degradation of status!】

【American Emperor Washington: Norton, how come you stole my line?】

Washington became even more depressed, and at one point felt that he, the fake emperor, had met the real emperor.

[American Lizong Grant: I am offended again! So... do we have to accept that America now has two emperors, and do the emperors look down on our president? ]

[Meishezong Roosevelt: I always feel that the group leader is trying to teach us something? He wants us to be the emperor of America?]

Roosevelt was speechless again. He felt that the atmosphere in the group had changed since Norton I came in.

I can't be serious at all.

[American Wuzong Wilson: So, are you really President Cleveland? Are you really President Roosevelt? Are you really President Lincoln? Are you really President Jackson? Is this group really a group of all the presidents of the United States? ]

Fortunately, at this moment, Wilson, who had been watching, couldn't help but speak.

There's no way, I saw an acquaintance.

[Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao: American Presidents, what is this? 】

It is also time for Zhu Houzhao to speak using his own secondary account.

【Meishizu Lincoln: Okay! Let's get over the light topic... Your Majesty Norton, you can be quiet for a while now, let's get to the point! Wilson, you have been watching for such a long time, you should understand the situation for the time being! This is our group of American presidents, except for His Majesty Louis XVI, His Majesty Norton, and the newly added Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who are different from us...】

[This is the authentic American president group! ]

[We, there should be no need for introduction! 】

[Please introduce yourself in one sentence... Which president are you! Or which president are you after Roosevelt? ]

It's time for Lincoln to get back to the point.

【Messenger Roosevelt: Wilson, I have some impression of you. Aren't you the president of our Princeton University? So, you also embarked on the road of politics and were elected president? Which president after me? By the way, I am now in the American time and space in 1905. 】

Roosevelt also came to his senses. He naturally knew Wilson. After exposing Wilson's identity, he also revealed his own time and location.

[American Wuzong Wilson: President Roosevelt in 1905... Indeed, I was still the president of Princeton at that time! I kind of believe that this is a presidential chat group, not some strange technology! Then I will introduce myself, President Roosevelt, I am the 28th president! A Democrat! ]

【During the election between you and President Taft, we Democrats once again succeeded in picking up the slack and becoming president.】

[It is May 1916, 5, my second term as president! The world has changed a little bit, and Europe is very lively. ]

Wilson introduced himself and also gave a little hint about World War I!
