Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 412: Loopholes in the China Entry Examination

"Emancipation Act?"

“From March 1811, 3, the Grand Commander signed the [Black Power Act] jointly submitted by the House of Representatives and the Senate. Any black slaves who were trafficked to the United States before 3 will be emancipated, and black people will become freedmen"

"Black soldiers who join the United States of America will receive citizenship rights of the United States of America after three years of combat."

Someone is reading a document from Montgomery City Hall.

Wumu was a little confused.

From now on, they were free black people and had the power to be free.

But where can they go now?
"Go back to the farm? But now the farm has adopted a labor system, and the farmers are no longer in charge of the food."

A black man said with confusion.

Before that, they were the property of farmers.

As property, it will naturally be protected to a certain extent. Farmers will not let black men starve at will - after all, thin black men cannot be bought and sold at a high price.

And now.

With the release of the [Black Slave Emancipation Act].

Black people were free - they had the right to move freely, to choose to be exploited, and to starve freely.

but.

They are not citizens of the United States of America—rightfully so.

Because in this era, democracy is a limited democracy.

Women and people of color did not have the right to vote.

Even for white men, the right to vote is tied to the amount of taxes - without taxes, there is no power.

For these free black people.

The first problem they now face is: dinner tonight.

"It's better to be a slave."

Umu muttered, her stomach growling with hunger.

He missed his master very much.

It was a white couple from the German region of Europe.

Although the male host is very fierce, with a leather whip on his waist and a musket on his shoulder.

But the hostess is relatively gentle.

And he's still full.

result now
He was free and at a loss.

"Going to be a soldier?!"

The hungry Umu now has only one place to go.

He didn't know at all.

What awaits him.

The war with the Chinese had nothing to do with black slaves like them.

In fact.

Wu Mu has never heard of China, doesn’t know where China is, and has never seen a Chinese person.

just now.

Driven by hunger.

He became a soldier in the Army of the United States of America.

Joining a war that he didn't even know the meaning of.

Although he became cannon fodder.

But, he was free.

"I am really a descendant of the Yin people!"

"You're too dark! You can't be"

'How is it impossible? I'm tanned!Listen to my Chinese. Is it standard? Is it authentic?There are some people from the Sioux tribe whose Chinese is better than mine! '

Inside Jinshan City.

A big dark man muttered and shouted.

The fine curly hair on his head was tied up in a bun like the yellow-skinned people around him, and he was also wearing a set of "clear clothes" in the style of the Army combat uniform of the Anti-Ming Army, which was very popular in the Jinshan Protectorate.

But neither his size nor the color of his skin fit in with the people around him.

"This is the exam for the Sioux to enter China. You, a big black guy, look like you are from West Africa. Who are you, a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty? Just go away and don't cause trouble!"

A Ming Dynasty official wearing a green robe frowned slightly and shouted at the big black man.

The big black man hurriedly bowed his hands.

"My lord, Caomin Jieke, his ancestors are indeed from West Africa. However, Caomin's grandmother is from the Sioux tribe. Caomin is of Sioux descent. From this aspect, the younger one is indeed of Yin and Shang descent."

The Ming Dynasty official frowned slightly when he heard this.

This black man named Jieke is indeed not that dark, and his face does have some Sioux characteristics.

But
It is said that he is a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Who will believe this?

oh.Most people now believe that the indigenous people of North America are descendants of immigrants from the Yin Shang Dynasty.

So this land of America.

It is also the land occupied by the Huaxia people since ancient times.

In the west, Bai Yi massacred the people of Yin and Shang.

This hatred is inseparable.

Not many people would have believed this rhetoric more than a decade ago.

But with the "evidence" brought by a series of "cultural relics unearthed".

And the Ming Dynasty officials’ tireless propaganda.

In addition, both the nomadic Sioux tribe on the plateau and the Albanian tribe who settled in the south had great hatred for the white people from the West.

On the contrary, I have a relatively favorable impression of Chinese people who look similar to me.

and so.

The policy of naturalizing the Sioux established by the Jinshan Protectorate was very successful.

So far, 12 Sioux tribesmen have passed the "China Entry" exam.

Became a glorious "Chinese".

Backward civilization naturally yearns for advanced civilization.

In ancient times, barbarians entered China, and now the Sioux people have entered China.

It is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty to absorb and assimilate the indigenous people.

The Sioux people entered China mainly through three channels.

First, marriage.

All Sioux women were married to Ming subjects.

You can automatically obtain the status of a Ming Dynasty subject.

Second, exams.

As long as you can pass the "Enter China" exam, you can become a subject of the glorious Emperor Ming.

This test mainly tests the level of Chinese speaking and Chinese culture.

Third, perform meritorious service and receive rewards.

For example, joining the Ming army can lead to military merit, or other achievements - for example, chiefs who lead their people to submit usually do not need to take any exams, get married, or get the status of Ming subjects.

Now Jack wants to participate.

It is the "China Entry" exam that is held every month in Jinshan City.

However, there is obviously a loophole in the Ming Dynasty’s naturalization of North American natives.

For example.
There are no detailed regulations on skin color.

after all.

In the view of the senior officials of Jinshan Protectorate.

Those who will come to take the exam to enter China are the indigenous people who believe that they are descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

As for white people
They would definitely not dare to come to the Jinshan Protectorate.

Because as the two sides come into contact and conflict, mutual hostility spirals.

In addition to the release of the "Reward Order on the Heads of Baiyi Soldiers" issued by the Jinshan Protectorate,

As a result, the Jinshan Protectorate was completely restricted to white people - although the purpose of this reward order was to combat the small-scale reconnaissance troops sent by the British, Americans, and Spanish to the Jinshan Protectorate.

but.

The white man's head was chopped off and he couldn't speak.

Who knows whether these white people are soldiers or civilians?

therefore.

Many collective farm hunters, the braver ones, even dared to enter white-controlled areas and hunt for the heads of white men!
The Ming official frowned.

He now discovered a loophole in the Naturalization Act - white people did not dare to come.

but.

There are black people in North America!

Black heads are worthless.

and so.

When they come to the Jinshan Protectorate, they will not encounter attacks from hunters - Chinese people are generally quite gentle. The purpose of beheading people is to make money. Why should they behead heads that are worthless?Isn't that a sin?

This Jie Ke may be the first black person to discover the loophole in the "China Entry" exam.
Just when the seventh-grade official who was responsible for presiding over the examination for entering China was about to find some excuse to send this black man away.

Suddenly there was movement outside the door.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived!!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is here, hurry up, hurry up, the Chinese bow, the natives kneel down and salute!"

soon.

Some officials started shouting.
