The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 406 I will teach you one sentence: Seek peace through struggle

"Send invitations to those wealthy people and hold a banquet tomorrow night! I want to see if anyone has a difficult birth at home this time!" Chen Zhengwei said to his men as he walked out.

Although there were many casualties among his men, it was even more important to hold a banquet at this time.

Chen Zhengwei walked halfway and then remembered something and said:

"By the way, there's no need to hire managers from foreign banks... they don't have any money now!"

After giving the instructions, Chen Zhengwei took his men out of the hotel and headed for the hospital.

Now that the hospital is full of his subordinates, he always has to go over to take a look.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he heard miserable groans everywhere. Chen Zhengwei pushed open a door and walked in. There were large bunk beds inside with at least dozens of people lying on them. These people's injuries were relatively minor and at least their lives were not in danger.

After seeing Chen Zhengwei, they all struggled to sit up.

"boss!"

"Weige!"

"Okay, no need to get up! I'll come over to take a look at you guys!" Chen Zhengwei looked at everyone one by one.

"how do you feel?"

"It's okay, I won't die!" A thug forced a smile.

"It's good that you are not dead! If you survive a disaster, there will be good fortune in the future!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Don't worry about what happens next! The company has paid for the medical expenses. In a few days, everyone will be able to go to the brothel and find women!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't move your hands... you can let them move!"

Everyone laughed.

"You guys are willing to fight for it this time! In addition to the money the company agreed on before, I will pay another sum of money, 300 US dollars per person!"

"Thank you, Brother Wei!" everyone spoke up.

Even the remnants of the Taiping Army followed Chen Zhengwei and called him Brother Wei.

"When making a living in the United States, there are only three most important things!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile on his face, and then raised his fingers one by one.

“First, I have money!”

"Second, you are willing to fight!"

"Third, I'll protect you!"

Everyone responded with a roar.

"Okay, you guys take a rest first. Once you recover from your injuries, there will be a colorful world out there! After this battle, those foreigners will avoid you in the future!"

Chen Zhengwei then went around each ward and checked the condition of each person.

Chen Zhengwei just looked at the intensive care unit at the back, and then said to the hospital director: "Try to save the people inside. If there are not enough doctors, find them from outside. If their skills are not good enough, find them from New York!"

Having said that, Chen Zhengwei knew in his heart that it was a blessing that half of these people were able to survive.

This is the level of doctors in this era.

Even if you survive by chance, don't even think about getting a gun.

Not to mention them, even the President of the United States' doctor is not much better.

After leaving the hospital, a henchman found Chen Zhengwei and said, "Brother Wei, those prisoners need a doctor!"

"Are you asking me for a doctor? If you don't know, you would think they won the fight!" Chen Zhengwei looked confused.

"Let them figure it out! If they can't survive, give them a knife! It'll be quicker!"

Chen Zhengwei waved his hand and sneered: "Ask me for a doctor..."

Not long after arriving at the hotel, Chen Zhengwei received the news.

"Louisiana is going to form a militia..."

"Sure enough, those people can't sit still!" Chen Zhengwei smiled. This is good news.

The establishment of a militia means that the states have regained control of military power. Even if it cannot restore the supremacy of state rights, the control of the U.S. government will be reduced again.

However, the US government will certainly not sit idly by. It will most likely set up a department similar to the National Guard and try to put these militia groups under the management and command of this department.

"The remnants of the 9th Infantry and Cavalry Regiment in Los Angeles, and the 17th Infantry Regiment in Roswell will be transferred soon!"

"Let the California legislature convene and form a California militia! The governor is about to leave office anyway, so let him do one last good thing!"

……

While Chen Zhengwei was talking to his men, the top executives of Bank of Boston, Bank of New York, National City Bank, and Morgan Bank also learned that the banks in Chicago had been destroyed by fire.

Among them, National City Bank was the predecessor of Citibank. Its president was Moses Taylor, with assets exceeding 5000 million US dollars. John Rockefeller's brother William Rockefeller was also an important shareholder of National City Bank.

The president of Morgan Bank is JP Morgan.

The owners and shareholders of Bank of Boston and Bank of New York are also some of the top wealthy people.

Everyone was a little angry when they learned that the bank in Chicago was burned down by fire.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what caused this fire.

"So, my bank was robbed!" JP Morgan said as he sat in the living room, crossed his legs, and smoked a cigar.

"That Chinese, after having defeated the army with great difficulty, felt that he could ignore anyone and do anything without restraint?"

The losses of the bank in Chicago were not huge, and he could definitely afford it. Besides, he was not the only one who had to bear the losses.

But the other party's actions show that after provoking the US government and the Army, they have begun to extend their claws to these top capitalists.

Originally they were standing on the shore watching the show, as if it were a wonderful stage play, to kill time. But now the fire suddenly burned on them, which made them a little annoyed.

Especially since JP Morgan is backed by British capital.

"Maybe I should teach him a lesson! The most important thing in life is to know when to stop! In the United States, you can offend the president, but don't offend capital!"

But he has no intention of going against Chen Zhengwei. He is a capitalist, not a fool.

In fact, it's not just him. Many people are ready to teach Chen Zhengwei a lesson. They are not willing to accept it.

Of course, it is done by means of capital.

……

In Chicago, all the broken windows in the hotel have been replaced with new ones.

In less than two days, the hotel was completely restored to its original state.

It was evening now and the hotel was brightly lit. Although it was not completely dark yet, the gas street lamps outside had already been lit.

Carriages stopped in front of the hotel, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies got off the carriages and walked into the hotel.

"Mr. Chen, allow me to express my respect!" Gordon bowed slightly to Chen Zhengwei. He had not been living well these days.

Because he was too close to Chen Zhengwei.

He had been somewhat apprehensive since learning of the Army's coming, and other wealthy people in Chicago had distanced themselves from him.

Now he has finally let go of his worries, and his face is full of smiles, as if he has become a few years younger.

"Smart people will always be rewarded!" Chen Zhengwei patted Gordon on the shoulder, chatted with him for a few words, and waved when he saw Thompson coming.

"Thompson, how have you slept these past two days?"

"I slept very well, especially since I was about to unload my burden! This made me feel particularly relaxed!" Thompson said with a smile.

Yeah, Chicago is a mess next.

But this has nothing to do with him anymore, the vote is only a week away.

Everything else is up to the next mayor.

After the hug, Thompson looked at Chen Zhengwei in front of him. It was hard to imagine that this Chinese man defeated the army twice, and both times he defeated the strong with the weak.

If the first time was because the army underestimated the enemy, then the second time was because of its real capabilities.

I have to say that he is indeed a military genius.

Although he did not attend any military school...but military schools are the place where future generations can learn the thoughts of geniuses.

"You are very busy now, we can chat when you are free later!" Thompson looked at the other guests and said to Chen Zhengwei.

"Of course!" Chen Zhengwei knew that Thompson had something to say to him. It seemed that someone wanted to convey a message through him.

Then Chen Zhengwei greeted other guests with a smile.

At this banquet, these Chicago tycoons were full of enthusiasm and were full of respect when facing Chen Zhengwei.

After a while, he took out his pocket watch and checked it. The time had come. He asked his henchman, "Who else hasn't arrived yet?"

"Brother Wei, we're all here!"

"It seems that they are very sensible this time!" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.

These Chicagoans are finally wiseing up.

Soon, Chen Zhengwei walked to the front and looked at everyone's face. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of majesty. Everyone looked away slightly.

Mayor Thompson, Congressman Vincent Bryan, and Investigation Director Eberst all had complicated looks on their faces.

Gordon had the brightest smile.

As for the others, their looks and smiles were somewhat complicated and difficult to understand.

Especially those wealthy people who came to Chicago from San Francisco.

They were thinking about a very serious question...Why did they sell off their assets in San Francisco at a low price and come to Chicago?

Facing all kinds of gazes, Chen Zhengwei glanced around, raised his glass and smiled at everyone, "Last time I said that the song should be sung and the dance should be performed, and now it seems that I was right!"

The crowd began to applaud softly.

"This is the victory of justice! So I want to say, cheers to freedom and justice!" Chen Zhengwei said again.

This time the applause was even louder.

"enjoy"

After a moment, Chen Zhengwei and Thompson walked aside.

"Thompson, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Someone asked me to deliver a message!" Thompson said.

"If you go back to California and downplay what's happening now, they may condone some of your actions! Also, regarding Sherman and the captured soldiers, you need to release them!" Thompson whispered.

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. After the army suffered a series of defeats, it was no longer able to fight and Washington had already surrendered.

Let Chen Zhengwei go back to San Francisco now, so he can be his own boss there.

Chen Zhengwei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Thompson, my friend, what do you think?"

Thompson hesitated for a moment, looking at Chen Zhengwei's narrowed eyes, which made his heart skip a beat.

"This is not a good thing. They are paralyzing you. After you go back, they will recruit soldiers, reorganize the army, and find the right time to attack you again, maybe in two years, maybe three years..."

Thompson spoke up.

"Thompson, you are my friend!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and patted Thompson's arm.

"But do you really want to attack Washington?" Thompson asked again.

"Why not?" Chen Zhengwei asked back.

……

At night, Chen Zhengwei sat on the sofa in the hotel and said sarcastically:

"Do those people in Washington think I'm a fool? Do they want me to go back to San Francisco and be a local tyrant? Do they want me to wait for them to organize their army and gunboats to attack me?"

Around him were Aaron, Dapolan, Green and others.

"It's been a fight till now, and they still think Brother Wei is easy to fool. I think they are the real fools!" Aaron said immediately!

"Boss, I have a question!" Green said after thinking for a moment.

"Boss, now that Washington has shown weakness and surrendered, why don't we negotiate terms with them first?" Green felt that it was time to talk to the US government.

After all, even if they reached Washington, they could not overthrow the president and the government.

After Green finished speaking, Dapolan and Aaron also looked at Chen Zhengwei seriously.

Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs with a cigar in his hand. He knew that these people were just ordinary people with limited knowledge and short-sightedness.

There are many things they cannot understand.

Just like Song Jiang, he went there happily when he heard about the amnesty.

So he didn't care, leaning back and said lazily:

"I will teach you a sentence: If you seek peace through struggle, then peace will survive! If you seek peace through compromise, then peace will die!"

"The battle is not over yet, so we have to keep fighting!"

"Then they will beg for peace!"

"Besides...I also want to compete with the president to see whose penis is bigger!"
