In November 1859, New York in the eastern United States had entered winter, and the wind was very hard and the thieves were cold.

And what's even colder is Li Mengyang's heart, after some tossing, he returned to New York, but along the way, his mind kept thinking about the bits and pieces between himself and Eleanor.

New Mexico where the first encounter...... ...... in the Kansas Chaos From the central to the east...... Running a newspaper...... Writing a Novel...... Utopian Socialism...... Communist......

Li Mengyang just didn't want to forget her, when he knew that Eleanor was Robert Lee's daughter, he knew that Eleanor would be fine, but it was really too difficult for him to see her again.

Robert Lee, he is a legend of legends, and he can be said to be the aristocrat of America, the real aristocracy, his father is called Henry Lee, known as 'Light Rider Lee', who played a great role in the Revolutionary War. His grandfather was Charlie Lee, and his name is on the Declaration of Independence! His wife is Anna Custis Lee, the great-granddaughter of George Washington's wife, Martha Washington, and Washington's inheritance is actually mainly inherited by this branch, Arlington is their family, which is Washington's family property, and the most prominent branch in Washington at this time is Robert Lee.

In other words, Eleanor Lee, she is a relative of the royal family!

He Li Mengyang is a Chinese worker who wants to rebel, and the gap between them is like the Milky Way in the sky.

Li Mengyang also often thinks of Huang Rong's sister, and he always can't forget this woman, sometimes he really doesn't know what to do, how to choose...... It seems that there is too much to think about.

Don't want to! Headache! It's still a big deal!

Li Mengyang returned to the "New York Evening News", and he immediately gathered all the important people, in fact, there were not many, that is, Matthew, Mai Lili, and the big man Bill.

"From now on, we must go all underground!"

As soon as a few people arrived, Li Mengyang got straight to the point, he didn't talk nonsense at all.

"This ......" Matthew was a little overwhelmed.

"Dream Sheep, what's wrong?" Mai Lili was completely confused about the situation.

"Mr. Eastwood, I don't think it's necessary, I've heard that the old fellow John Brown is constantly writing, but it doesn't seem to mention you, or Eleanor." The big man Bill is still very political and has a sense of smell.

In fact, as far as John Brown is concerned, those who don't have a sense of political sense will definitely hear a lot of news about him, because John Brown is now the biggest celebrity in the United States, and all the newspapers and all the celebrities are talking about this guy!

The Whig in Richmond, Virginia, said, "This down-and-out old traitor and murderer should go to the gallows!" ”

Frederick Douglas said, "John Brown could die for the emancipation of slaves, and he could only live for it, which is the ratio of the sun and the moon to the candle......"

Henry David Thoreau said, "The ends of a long chain." He was no longer the old Brown; He has become an angel who spreads the light...... "The other end of his words is none other than God and his old man, this metaphor is simply too exaggerated."

Southerners hate John Brown to the core, because they can no longer see any compromise between the North and the South, especially the slave owners, especially the people who interrogate this case, because there is information that they have several information about the financial owners behind the support of John Brown, and those people are all Northerners, all rich people!

And the public opinion in the North is very fierce now, the most important thing is the ending against John Brown, it is conceivable, it must be on the gallows, but they see this ending as the connivance of American law to the South!

The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, and Li Mengyang naturally knows about this, he has not bought newspapers to read along the way, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to turn the current qiē underground, that is, no longer do the work on the surface.

This is actually an insurance approach, because Li Mengyang doesn't want to expose the qiē he has now before this civil war in the United States, which is too fucked up.

"I don't have much faith in that guy John Brown, and we can't take risks now, my face has been seen by those soldiers, once it's exposed, our newspaper, the arsenal, it's going to be a problem, we can't take the risk!"

Li Mengyang's words are not unreasonable, but nothing else is easy to say, but how did you go underground in this newspaper? Is it still secret? Where can I make money?

The "New York Evening News" is now the foundation of all the industries of Li Mengyang's Fuxing Association, the operation of the arsenal, and the warship, all of which are supported by this newspaper, and if it is a secret now, where will the money come from?

"Mr. Eastwood, if we lose the newspaper, we lose something else, I'm sure you'll understand." The person in here, the one who really understands these things is this big man Bill.

"What then? If anyone testifies that I am Clint Eastwood and Clint Lee, and I also participated in this treasonous movement, then our newspaper is also finished, and everything else is finished, everyone ......" Before Li Mengyang finished speaking, Mai Lili over there came to his throat.

"Dream sheep! What are you afraid of! We're going to rob the fuck again! ”

Very good, after awakening, this gangster spirit comes out.

"I'm going to do big things, not rush them!"

Li Mengyang has already arranged a lot, but now, these people can't see it, in fact, it's normal, just the people of this era, where can they see what the results of these arrangements will be?

But I can't say it explicitly, so it's a little painful.

"Otherwise, Mr. Eastwood, you go behind the scenes, and the newspaper is still in the open, just find someone else to be its editor-in-chief."

It's a good idea, and the big man Bill is a smart guy, but the question is, who will be the editor-in-chief?

"Can you be editor-in-chief?"

"This ......," the big man Bill immediately coaxed.

He is a charlatan, he may be very shrewd and calculating, but if you want him to play with a pen, isn't this driving a donkey to the shelf?

The New York Evening News is not without reporters at this time, and our newspaper has also developed, but how important is the position of editor-in-chief? It's all about the style of a newspaper, like why does the New York Tribune like utopian socialism so much? It's not because their founder and editor-in-chief, Greeley, likes this kind of social theory.

Isn't the main reason for this newspaper to brainwash the people in the eastern United States? Then Li Mengyang is no longer the editor-in-chief, go to find an editor-in-chief, so how can he be brainwashed?

Li Mengyang also considered finding someone to be a puppet, but the problem is that the current evening newspaper is too famous, and this puppet can't be a nobody, right? So, how can such a person be willing to be a puppet? Even if he is willing to be a puppet, does Li Mengyang dare to use him? Because if you can't get it right, what if this guy sells the matter of your Li Mengyang's behind-the-scenes command to other newspapers as big news?

The literati are all very ghostly, and intellectuals have a lot of eyes.

So what can I do?

For a moment, no one had any idea.

"Take a break first, it's not a way to think about it." Li Mengyang mentioned that everyone should rest first, which was naturally supported by everyone.

"Huh?" Since it was a rest, he couldn't just sit, Li Mengyang wanted to walk, but when he just got up and came to the door, he found a package that was thrown in the garbage heap.

Newspaper, there will naturally be a lot of people to contribute, and most of them will be treated as garbage, especially Li Mengyang is not here, because as far as our newspaper is concerned, then it is not everything he says?

This package was given to him, but this payment was very attractive to Li Mengyang.

Samuel Ranchen Clement, how is this name familiar?

"Dream Sheep, why do you see this? It's going to sell waste paper. ”

"Idle is idle."

Li Mengyang didn't think much about it, just take a look, this package should be the manuscript, you can change your mood when you read.

As a result, at this look, Li Mengyang slapped his thigh at that time!

"That's him!"

Who?

Everyone present was a little confused, because they hadn't heard of this guy named Clement yet, but Li Mengyang knew that this person was the famous Mark Twain!

Mark Twain was not famous at this time, he only published a few short stories in humor magazines, writing was just his hobby, and now he is still working as a sailor, that is, he is not Mark Twain yet.

However, Mark Twain's style of writing, so Li Mengyang still doesn't know? It should be said that the most familiar to students in China with the style of American writers is Mark Twain, so Li Mengyang can see at a glance who wrote these manuscripts, whether it is style or language, it is definitely him.

Isn't Mark Twain the best candidate to be the editor-in-chief of the New York Evening News?

"That's the person, write back to him, let him be the editor-in-chief!"

"Huh? Can it be done? Just him? ”

"Trust me, that's right."

Li Mengyang didn't explain much, now it's okay, I found the best candidate, maybe Mark Twain is not very famous, but there is no problem with his strength, he will definitely be famous, and his style is still very critical, which is exactly what Li Mengyang needs.

It's really great! The problem is solved!

Li Mengyang can go behind the scenes with peace of mind.

"Sir! Someone is looking for it! ”

Just when Li Mengyang was happy, someone came outside, who is this?

"Mr. Clint Lee, my lord has invited you to take a trip, and the carriage is ready, and I hope you will enjoy it."

It turned out to be a Chinese with braids, of course, speaking Cantonese.

"Who is your master?"

Li Mengyang really didn't know that there were Chinese people in New York City who knew him and would invite him over, so who was it? And now that it's night, who is looking for themselves at this time?

"Sir, please, my grandfather is Mr. John Murray Forbes."

People reported their own doors, and Li Mengyang remembered that it seemed that this Forbes was the financier who supported him in the abolitionist revolution as John Brown said!

So what do such people come to do with themselves?

"I don't know him." To be honest, Li Mengyang just doesn't want to go, but let's not tear our faces, right?

However, what this Chinese said is interesting.

"Sir, if you don't go, my lord said, then there are some things, such as ...... with Mr. Brown"

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Needless to say, Forbes is threatening Clint Lee that if you don't come, he's going to make your involvement in the John Brown uprising public......
