"Those idiots in South Carolina have been planning things for several years, and they can't wait to do so?" At this time, Chu Qi, who was located in San Francisco, cursed without caring about his elegant and easy-going identity.

Of course, he also received news of South Carolina's independence as soon as possible.

However, according to the agreement between the Ming Empire and the slave states, it should be a rebellion to the slave states after the Ming Empire has completed its preparations.

Chu Qi had not received a notice from the Imperial City, so there might be only one. South Carolina did not inform the Ming Empire and it was independent without authorization.

The sudden change disrupted Chu Qi's itinerary. Chu Qi was not a good-tempered person, so he couldn't help but curse.

He remembered a sentence: He was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but only a pig-like teammate. The South Carolina state legislator did not act without authorization as planned, and was afraid that he was not a pig-like teammate.

If the Ming Empire supported Lincoln and others, Chu Qi believed that the other party would definitely cooperate well. However, the European powers supported Lincoln, and the Ming Empire could only stand behind the slave state as a check and balance.

"We must go to Virginia as soon as possible, which will soon become a battlefield. Miss Feng, this time I was wrong."

Chu Qi told Feng Yuruo not long ago that there was no need to be anxious, but man's plan was not as good as God's plan. Feng Yuruo was really unfortunate and it was urgent to go to Virginia.

"No, it's not your fault, it's the South Carolina congressman who is too... stupid." Feng Yuruo also said with Chu Qi.

South Carolina's independence is not just a matter of issuing notices. They also have to face the counterattack of the United States and need to form their own army.

A war is likely to kick off in Virginia along the Atlantic Ocean.

Chu Qi and others immediately packed their luggage and planned to take a steam locomotive from San Francisco to New Orleans City, Louisiana, and then transfer to Richmond, Virginia.

Thomas Jackson was ready, and he was still wearing a morsel hat. When he saw Chu Qi coming down from the attic, he said to him: "The war has come."

"Yes, it's faster than you thought, but don't worry, we Ming Dynasty will stand firmly on your side. Jackson, what news did you receive?"

"The governor ordered me to lead non-commissioned officers from the Virginia Military Academy to Richmond to train recruits, and I must go back as soon as possible. Virginia also issued a declaration of independence."

"It's really disturbing that South Carolina will pull the whole body."

Chu Qi talked to Jackson. The governor Jackson said that the governor was the governor of Virginia, and Virginia was close to Washington, where Lincoln was located, and it was the junction of the North and South Federations, which was the front line of the Civil War. Both sides must have soldiers in the local area, so Chu Qi had to go to the local area to collect intelligence, and Jackson had to go there to train soldiers. He was from Virginia and also wanted to serve Virginia. This phenomenon is quite common at this time. Some people even opposed to slavery, they would follow the decisions of their state.

The railway across the North American continent was built on the proposal of the Ming Empire and was invested by southern states such as Virginia and Louisiana for several years.

Virginia, Louisiana, and South Carolina claimed to be the purpose of promoting the development of the west, but in fact it was to obtain assistance from the Ming Empire and transport materials to the front line by rail.

Chu Qi went to Richmond to benefit from the laying of the railway and saved several months.

The train station is noisier than before. Many people are recruited by their hometown like Jackson, intending to go to their hometown to fight for their freedom.

This may not be as simple as abolition. To be precise, except for industrial owners and planters, ordinary people do not care about the situation of slaves. They care about state rights, that is, whether their hometown is "free".

The United States was originally a country established by many independent states for the sake of their interests. At the beginning of the United States, the states had great autonomy. At this time, many people's loyalty to the states exceeded their loyalty to the United States.

People in each state were in a frenzy, with more than thirty states divided into three camps, free states, slave states and neutral states. Neutral states are only a very small number, so they are actually still a battle between the Northern Free State represented by the factory owner and the slave state represented by the planter.

If Chu Qi had not been in this era personally, he would not have felt the fanaticism of these people and the fierce conflicts within the United Nations.

The United States has reached a point of historical divergence.

"Like you, these people are fighting for their hometown, and the members of the states can even decide the future of each state." Chu Qi said to Jackson.

"Yesterday I was a citizen of the United States, who knows which country I will be from tomorrow?" Jackson seemed to be talking to himself.

Chu Qi just smiled slightly. He actually knew the name of the country planned to be established in the Slave State - the Union of America.

"Guo Yan, let you leave the matter in California." Chu Qi still asked Guo Yan to be responsible for California affairs.

"I will keep in touch with you in time." Guo Yan said.

Chu Qi and others boarded the steam locomotive to Richmond. There were people of all kinds of skin colors in the carriage, and the language they spoke was extremely chaotic. To be precise, these were all descendants of immigrants, and the indigenous people were driven to the mountains by the Americans.

Almost everyone in the steam locomotive carriage discusses the independence of the southern states, and some even fight in the carriage because they support different states.

Feng Yuruo saw the Americans in a carriage quarreling in two factions, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's really terrible..."

Chu Qi put his suitcase in place, and his feelings at this time were exactly the same as Feng Yuruo.

If this happens to your own country, I am afraid that no one will feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Dongfang has had the idea of ​​unification since Qin Shihuang implemented the county system.

"Miss Feng, if the Civil War begins, will you go to the battlefield?" Chu Qi asked Feng Yuruo in a low voice.

"I hope that the slave states can gain independence with their own strength. When I need to go to the battlefield, it means that the slave states in the south are on the verge of defeat." Feng Yuruo said.

Jackson, who was sitting in front, didn't make a sound. He just sat quietly in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking.
