Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 73 The Curse of the Civil War White House

There has always been a curse about the White House among the staff of the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States, that the family of the President who lives in the White House will be inexplicably sick, especially the probability of the President himself getting sick is particularly high.

This statement is not unfounded, but has a solid basis, because in recent decades, at least three US presidents have died of illness during their tenure in office.

The first was that President Harrison, who had been in office for only a month in 1841, contracted typhoid after "speaking in the cold wind for two hours" and died after being treated with opium, castor oil and leeches. (Maybe if you don't treat it like this, you can still survive...)

Then came 53-year-old James Knox Polk, who had just left the presidency in 1849 and took his last breath in his apartment. You know, this dude was president before he became president. He is known for his toughness and is known as the "young hickory". Bayi Chinese Website

Then in 1850, President Taylor, the successor of "Young Hickory", who was in the military, began to suffer from severe diarrhea after "eating a few green apples, a lot of milk, and a big bowl of cherries" in his second year in office. Although he was rescued by bloodletting therapy and treated with mercury and opium for the first time, he eventually died soon after.

And in addition to the president, their family members have similar symptoms. For example, President Taylor's successor, the wife and daughter of Vice President Fillmore, also died early.

And now, President Seward has also suddenly suffered from severe gastroenteritis, diarrhea and dehydration. He is in a coma and can no longer continue to work, which makes the rumor of the "White House Curse" even more serious. Some people say that This curse originated from the murder of an Indian leader by President Harrison. As a result, the leader's younger brother led a group of wizards to place a vicious curse on the President of the United States and the White House, the presidential residence. Therefore, starting from President Harrison, the president and Family members die one after another during their term of office...

Secretary of State Yaward asked the President's personal doctor Professor Lister anxiously: "Professor, how is the current situation of Mr. President?"

I saw Professor Liszt sighed and said: "We have used bloodletting therapy, high-dose coffee **** enema therapy and high-dose mercury shock therapy for the first time, but Mr. President still hasn't woken up!"

"Professor, you must think of a way, because now is the critical moment of the war, Mr. President can't just fall!" Yaward said with a frown.

Then he took a step closer and whispered: "And it is said that Johnson of the Democratic Party is ready to succeed, so Mr. President must be woken up no matter what!" Remember s://vip for a second

As the President's personal physician, Professor Lister is well aware that by law, when the President dies or becomes incapacitated, the Vice President will have the right to take over the presidency until the next election, so if President Seward never wakes up again , that thing can be really troublesome!

So Professor Liszt nodded and replied: "I understand, I will do my best!"

But then he added: "Recently I met a doctor from India, Dr. Singh, who has a rare but effective treatment, so if the conventional treatments don't work, can we give it a try?"

"Doctor India, can this work?" Yaward frowned and muttered, but then sighed: "Try it, after all, it's better than nothing!"

Contrary to the gloom and gloom in the White House, Confederate President Davis said very happily to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Albert, you did a great job this time!"

Then he turned to the secretary next to him and instructed: "Send a telegram to General Li immediately and tell him that the plan to unite the Indian tribes has been successful! And I hope that General Li will have such a good idea in the future, and he must tell me as soon as possible!"

The reason why Davis sent such a telegram to Robert Lee was because he made the proposal to unite the Indian tribes, but in fact this proposal came from the letter Tangning wrote to Robert Lee, but Robert Lee was afraid to say it. It was a suggestion made by an outsider like Tangning. President Davis didn't take it seriously. That's how he said it was his own suggestion.

In fact, Tangning's suggestion is well-founded, because during the Civil War, the Confederate States recruited 17 regiments and eight battalions in the Indian Territory. In contrast, the Confederation only recruited four Indian Territory militia regiments. In terms of the above, the Indian Army of the Confederate Army is also more powerful. For example, in the Battle of Pea Ridge, the cavalry led by Stander-White captured the artillery position of the Northern Army and successfully covered the retreat of the large troops. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Federation does not allow Indians to serve as the commander of the corps, so the combat effectiveness of the militia cannot be exerted!

The newspaper editor and lawyer Albert Parker was responsible for contacting the Indian tribes. In the contract with the Indians, the Confederates not only offered a more favorable price than the Federation, such as removing restrictions on trade between the two parties, and promised not to Northerners leave them alone like that. (It is true that the Federation did not pay attention to it before.)

In addition, another important reason for the Indian tribes to support the Confederate state is that they also kept black slaves (did you not expect it), especially the leaders of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes are big slave owners, so naturally they have to protect themselves Interests.

Then there's the Union's recent victories at the Battles of Running Bull and Wilson's Creek, giving these Indian tribes confidence.

As a result, the Confederate Army not only received a replenishment of troops, but also the grain and beef produced in large quantities in the Indian Territory could well make up for the lack of materials caused by the federal trade blockade. After all, most of the land in the south is planted with cotton, and food was previously purchased from the north, but now it is naturally unavailable...

"Mr. President, I've also been in contact with the Caddo, Comanche and Wichita tribes, and although they can't send troops to directly support like Choctaw, they have promised that as long as we provide them with arms, then they will It will only loot the territory of the Federation, not the settlements of our alliance! Do you think this is okay?" Pike asked.

Davis nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Of course! As long as it is a force that is beneficial to us, we must fight for it!"

PS: Recently I was reviewing Lao Qi's "The Road to the Master of Cultivation Sect", and I was surprised to find that there were more than 300 chapters for free. You must know that this book has more than 600 chapters in total...

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and when he met someone he knew, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

There is no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they are very indifferent to everything~www.mtlnovel.com~ about this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression, it is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The town magic department is very big.

Those who can stay in the Town Demon Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian envoy and the other is the demon slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then he was promoted step by step, and finally he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranked slayer.

Has the memory of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Town Demon Division.

It didn't take too long, Shen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the **** Suppression Demon Division.

At this time, the door to the attic was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

Enter the attic.

Circumstances have changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but then quickly stretched.

There is almost no way to clean the **** smell on everyone in the Zhen Mosi.
