America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

1869 9 Month 15 Day.

Autumn of the eighth year of the Tongzhi reign.

During the morning court session of the Qing Dynasty, an unexpected figure appeared.

"The Vice Consul of the American Empire in Tianjin is under immense pressure. He pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing and to the Empress Dowager of the Great Qing."

The entire court was shocked to see this white man, because he was speaking Manchu.

And he spoke it very fluently.

They're not much different from them.

The young emperor, sitting on the throne, had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Cixi, however, behind the curtain, softly said, "Rise."

"What brings you here, envoy?"

Alexander's clone spoke.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Empire, and Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

"Although I am an American, I am also an American who loves Chinese culture."

"The reason I traveled all this way to this land is because I heard Mr. Anson Burlingame give a speech in San Francisco last year."

"Even after the speech, we had an in-depth conversation with Mr. Yu before coming here under his guidance."

"I have complete faith in what you say."

"I firmly believe that the Qing Empire is an awakened lion that will stand at the top of the world in the future."

"And now, this newly awakened lion needs to open the door to the world."

"And I also have more than a dozen Americans who came with me and yearn for Chinese culture, who are willing to open this door for the Qing Empire."

"If possible, I would like to establish a school in the American Concession in Tianjin, a school that teaches advanced Western knowledge and languages ​​to all students in the Qing Dynasty."

"I even hope that in the future, I can participate in student exchange programs with students from all over the world."

"We must spread the majesty of our Great Qing Empire to the world."

"At the same time, if possible, I hope to fight for more rights for the Qing Empire in the international arena."

"Although Mr. Anson Burlingame secured for the Empire the recognition of the American Empire and the right to mutual immigration and study abroad."

"But the people of the Qing Empire living in America are suffering from undue discrimination."

"If possible, I hope to establish a consulate of my Great Qing Empire in the United States to provide the most basic protection for the citizens of the Great Qing Empire."

At this moment, the entire court was in an uproar.

Prince Gong couldn't help but stand up.

After a brief exchange in the foreign language he had learned from Anson Burlingame, he remarked with emotion.

"Mr. Alexander, if it weren't for your white appearance and skin, and your fluent foreign language, I would have suspected that you were a native of my Great Qing Empire."

"I agree with what you said."

"at the same time."

"I also welcome you to establish a school in Tianjin."

"If the imperial court cannot provide the funds, I am willing to personally fund the construction of the school for you."

Anson Burlingame was his friend.

It was he who, after the other party's term of office expired, had a brilliant idea and appointed him as a second-rank minister of the Qing Empire to serve as an envoy to various countries around the world.

The message relayed back from the mission was indeed exactly as Alexander had said.

Anson Burlingame did not betray his trust.

Unexpectedly, Anson Pu also gave him an unexpected surprise.

Another group of people who speak Manchu have arrived.

Anson Burlingame's mission has shown the court the importance of diplomacy.

However, due to the lack of places to learn foreign languages, they can only learn a little bit of culture.

I never expected that a pillow would be delivered just when I was feeling sleepy.

Prince Gong was happy, and so was Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Prince Gong should keep his money for himself."

"Mr. Alexander established the school to help my Great Qing Empire, and the Empire can afford the money needed for its construction and future development."

"As for the problems of the people of my Great Qing Empire overseas, Mr. Alexander need not worry about them."

"But I think it's very necessary for Mr. Alexander to say that we should establish a consulate in the United States."

"The Qing Empire needs to show the world the strength of our Qing Empire."

"At the same time, we also need to have better communication with other countries."

"Once the school is established and the students have completed their studies, we can arrange for them to establish consulates of our Great Qing Empire in various countries around the world."

"As for now, we will have to trouble Mr. Alexander to see if there is anyone among the people who came with you who is suitable to go to the United States to serve as the consul general."

Li Changsheng, whose consciousness had taken over Alexander, was convinced.

This Qing Dynasty is truly outrageous.

The envoy who traveled the world was an American.

Now, they're even sending Americans to America to serve as the Qing Dynasty's consul general.

Moreover, looking at the entire court of officials, not a single one objected; in fact, they were all happy to see it happen.

The young emperor has no say; the two people with the most authority have already made the decision.

So that's settled.

Even when Li Changsheng said that they were able to learn Manchu because of the Qing Dynasty immigrants in San Francisco, Prince Gong spoke up again.

"Mr. Alexander, you can continue as consul general."

"After you go to America, I would like to ask that you leave two of those who have learned the foreign language as vice consuls, and arrange for the rest to return to their home countries."

"Tell them that my Great Qing Empire needs them, and that they will be treated well upon their return."

Li Changsheng was delighted.

This time, we can send dozens more clones back.

Moreover, returning this way will allow them to earn more benefits for themselves.

It doesn't matter whether they came from America or not, as long as they can speak American.

We can just say we are descendants of immigrants from the Qing Dynasty.

Even the issue of identity has been resolved.

Under the decision of Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong.

The machine of the Qing Empire began to run at high speed.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, a school called Alexander Foreign Language Institute will be built and put into operation in the American Concession of Tianjin.

Because of this matter, all the officials were much happier, and even the young emperor knew the benefits this matter would bring to the Qing Dynasty, so his face was no longer so gloomy.

Li Changsheng hadn't expected the plan to succeed so smoothly.

However, this was just an unexpected surprise; he had a real purpose for coming this time.

That's also why he gave up his research to come here.

For him, the reason he was willing to abandon his research and come here was to find the original owner's family.

Li Changsheng came because his clone found a clue and located the original owner's fellow villagers.

Through indirect inquiries, they learned that the original owner's family had spent all their money on this unexpected illness shortly after Li Changsheng's family went to America.

With no other choice, the whole family decided to venture to Northeast China.

After realizing that he couldn't find his family in a short time with his own abilities, Li Changsheng possessed the body of Ya Shi Da.

We arrived in the capital.

However, he did not mention this matter at the court meeting, but instead found King Gongxi after the Xia Dynasty.
