Mid-May 1858

Mexico City
After His Majesty the King of the Tang Kingdom arrived in Mexico City, Mexican President Gonzalez held a grand welcoming ceremony. More than 20 people in the city lined the streets with flowers to welcome them.

Mexico City is the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere. It has countless ancient Indian cultural and historical relics. It is said that the Aztecs listened to the gods and filled the land designated by the gods, built embankments and roads. It was built in 1325 AD. The city of Tenochtitlan, the predecessor of Mexico City.

After Mexico City was occupied by the Spaniards in 1521, the Spanish colonists built many European-style palaces, churches, monasteries and other buildings on the ruins, and named the city Mexico City, known in Europe as the "City of Palaces".

In 1821, when Mexico became independent, it was designated as the capital. Since the end of the 18th century, the scale of the city has continued to expand, forming the magnificent scale it is today.

In terms of cultural accumulation, no city in the Tang Kingdom can compare with Mexico City.

In today’s Mexico City, there are about 67 people, 1/3 of whom are Chinese, and their influence has penetrated into almost every aspect of the government, military and economy. In particular, Chinese businessmen dominate the lifeline of Mexico’s economy, and many Chinese have become large farmers and farmers. The manor owner even has a private armed force.

Over the years, Mexico has suffered bumps and bumps. After the invasion of the United States in 1846, there were constant wars. After the Tang-Mexican War and the Mexican Civil War, its vitality was severely damaged.

After several years of restoration, the population of Mexico under the current government is only 86.7 people, and the Chinese population accounts for 1/3. The authentic Mexicans are less than 50, and most of them are residents of Mexico City.

Large tracts of barren manors and fields around Mexico City were occupied by many Chinese, gradually forming a local dominant force.

Richard's trip was mainly for the post-war arrangements in Mexico and the immigration of Chinese, to appease the upper-level vested interest groups in Mexico, and let them accept the large-scale immigration arrangements of Chinese with a blind eye.

Li Cha plans to retire more than 4 officers and soldiers of the four field divisions who entered southern Mexico to fight this time, and implement their meritorious fields and fiefdoms in the states surrounding Mexico City. This is a traditional densely populated area with a long history of development. The buildings are relatively intact, with large areas of barren fields that are easily restored.

These more than 30 officers and soldiers are more than [-] small and medium-sized manor owners, plus the [-] million Chinese immigrants who plan to move in in the future, the situation in Mexico basically established the dominance of the Chinese.

As for the combat power, the Tang Kingdom is not inferior to these divisions. There are already more than 2 recruits who have arrived in Salt Lake City, North America from the mainland. They can replenish the vacancies of field divisions at any time. This is not a problem.

From Richard's point of view;

In-depth integration, and the creation of a basic base of Chinese people all over the cities and villages, the creation of a vassal state that closely follows the Tang Kingdom, and swallowing it when the time is right is the main purpose.

Therefore, after the situation in the south is stabilized, the officers and soldiers of these four divisions will be retired on a large scale. The titles of earl and viscount must not be awarded at will. One point, thus playing a role in stabilizing the urban regime in the central states.

Who is President Gonzalez?

Seriously speaking, they are still Richard’s father-in-law. The three enchanting Mexican sisters in the royal court are the daughters of President Gonzalez, but they are of lower status. The president is not really a royal family member.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Gonzalez can stand out as president, otherwise, he is just an ordinary white manor owner in the South.

What Richard can lure them is to take out noble titles, basically 5 earls, 12 viscounts and 31 baron titles, as well as a certain number of honors from barons and knights. Basically, officers with the rank of major or above in the Mexican government army can If you get one, the difference is the title.

During this period of time, the diplomatic department of the Tang Kingdom had been in close contact with the Mexican side, and they had already reached a point of agreement, in exchange for the acquiescence of the Mexican high-level officials to the serious infiltration of Oriental forces.

In the face of substantial family interests, the burden of betraying the interests of the Mexican Republic is not so great.

After arriving in Mexico City, King Richard and his entourage stayed in Chapultepec Castle, which is the only royal castle in the American continent (the palace of the Tang Kingdom is not yet called royal), and Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico Used to be the owner here.

As His Majesty the King, Li Cha would not deal with these secret deals. These days, he is enjoying the tribute of more than a hundred beautiful white Mexican girls. He is really a bridegroom every day, and he is extremely happy.

in a luxurious palace
Richard officially received President Gonzalez for the official pilgrimage, and his entourage included General Dos Santos, the commander-in-chief of the Mexican government army, Minister of Finance Flamingo, Minister of the Interior Rodriguez and Minister of Agriculture and Development Pedro Waiting for important officials, these five top figures representing the various forces in the upper class of Mexico are also the candidates who have secretly conferred the title of Earl of the Kingdom.

follow suit
President Gonzalez has an in-law relationship with the Tang royal family, and Admiral Dos Santos and Minister of Finance Flamingo are not outsiders. These two are the commanders of the ink servants personally selected by Richard, and they are loyal dogs.

It is precisely because the army of the former Mexican government was extremely vicious and bears the blood debt of the Mexican military and civilians, so it had to be tied to the interests of the Tang Kingdom and became the second of the three powerful factions in the puppet regime of the Mexican government supported by the kingdom. The family of President Gonzalez.

As for Minister of the Interior Rodriguez and Minister of Agriculture and Development Pedro, both represent the deep-rooted forces in Mexico City and together form the mainstream force of the upper class in Mexico today.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet...

The Mexican puppet government relied on the military dictatorship and the strong support of the Tang Kingdom to survive. It was not defeated by the rebels of the southern Aztec Republic and preserved the last trace of decency.

These upper-level figures can naturally perceive the real intention of the Tang Kingdom, which is to annex Mexico. When the situation cannot be reversed, it is a rational choice to give priority to protecting the interests of the family.

Therefore, the senior leaders of the Mexican government headed by President Gonzalez looked very humble, and were willing to pay homage to His Majesty the King as a courtier.

"Your Majesty the King, are you still satisfied with this place?" President Gonzalez asked very ambiguously, implying something.

Li Cha stared at him amusedly, and then said without changing his face; "Shang Ke, the war in the south is coming to an end, and the top leaders of the rebellious Aztec Republic hid in the mountains after the temporary capital was breached China is in constant panic, and it will not be too long before they are completely wiped out, what arrangements does your country have for this?"

"It's all up to His Majesty's orders." President Gonzales replied obsequiously, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, he was more loyal than his courtiers.

His sister, don't lick like this, okay?

Li Cha was almost left speechless by them. At this time, he somewhat missed the tough character of the American Southerners. He would not give up in the face of national interests and sovereignty, and he would be a qualified national political leader. Hope they can stick to it.

Smiling, Li Cha said after pondering;
"I am considering the post-war political arrangement, still inheriting the mantle of the existing Aztec Republic, and establishing a country with Mexicans as the main body to rule the southern states.

Of course, in order to avoid misjudgments caused by government changes, it is very important to conclude a solid and friendly treaty with the Tang Kingdom and form a closely related community of interests.

Then, in the choice of the leader of the southern regime, comprehensive and proper consideration should be made.

Such a head of government should have considerable influence in the south, but at the same time cannot accept the kingdom's noble title, so as to avoid being too obviously pro-Datang.

Considering
A steady political figure with an overall view should take the lead in forming the new government framework of the Aztec Republic, and the Datang Kingdom will provide the necessary help to bring this chaotic region back on the right track of peaceful development .

The ultimate goal is to partially restore order in North America and restore a peaceful and peaceful life. This is also the common voice of the war-torn Mexican people.

As the responsible and responsible Datang Kingdom government, it is duty-bound to undertake the important task of reshaping peace. The generals of the four field divisions sent south by the Kingdom will transform from combat vanguards to peace envoys and help the new Aztec Republic to stabilize. local situation.

it's here

I hope to solicit the opinions of all of you and jointly propose a candidate who is worthy of everyone's trust. It is possible that in the near future, I will prepare to go south and provoke the heavy task of forming a new government. "

When Li Cha said this, everyone present suddenly realized, and immediately frowned and thought hard.

This is tantamount to the sweetness sent by the Tang Kingdom, allowing the five major families to share the huge benefits. Even if they want to inherit the title of earl, the direct line of the family cannot serve in the government of the new Aztec Republic, so is it okay to have side branches?

President Gonzalez has already made up his mind to give him and his lover's illegitimate son a certain minister in the real power government, and the others are also thinking about it, and their expressions become subtle.

After seeing it, Li Cha felt that the heat was almost ready, so he pretended to be generous and said with a smile; "To govern the traditional Mexican sphere of influence, you still need money and effort from several big families. Of course, there is no need to worry about the candidate. You can submit it after careful consideration." To the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Juan Carlos, all parties will discuss it before deciding, this is not something that can be decided with a brain."

"Your Majesty Shengming, I haven't thought about it so carefully. This is indeed a big deal. Please allow me to give you an answer after careful consideration." President Gonzalez showed a solemn face.

Interior Minister Rodriguez also showed eagerness on his face, and nodded in agreement; "Thank you, His Majesty the King, for thinking about the Mexican people. We will definitely elect trustworthy candidates, so as to live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

"On behalf of the Pedro family, I would like to extend the highest respect to His Majesty the King. Your proposal not only shows respect for the Mexicans, but also contains great kindness to the Mexican people. It is very touching! You The benevolent splendor of the..." Minister of Agriculture and Development Pedro said flatteringly.

Earl Juan Carlos, the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was accompanying His Majesty the King, couldn't help shivering secretly when he heard these nasty flattery, and immediately interrupted: "Okay, since everyone has no objection, after the relevant candidates are proposed, We will make a decision based on the opinions of all parties, please contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for specific matters, and I will follow up at any time."

"That's great. We will come up with specific candidates within three days. We will take a responsible attitude to the Mexican people. We hope to have an in-depth discussion with the distinguished Lord Carlos. We are very much looking forward to it." President Gonzalez finally finalized the date .

Since His Majesty the King has said that he must determine the candidates as soon as possible, and go south to start the work of forming a new government, then there is no need to procrastinate, and it will be three days.
