Wild North America 1846

Chapter 408 Epilogue
I don't know who fired the first shot and knocked Ma Chengtian, a soldier who was performing a mission, to the ground.

Immediately there were a few sporadic gunshots, one of which hit the palace where His Majesty was staying and broke a window. The illegal assembly has evolved from a riot to an even more serious assassination of the royal family.

Give an order

The military police who were waiting in full battle immediately fired back, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The dense sound of machine guns and bursts of gunfire sounded in the city, which instantly shattered the illusions of the demonstrators. This awakened many blind followers from their frenzy, and they fled in all directions.

But it's too late...

When the social crowd began to gather, the 203rd Division located on the outskirts of the city quickly approached Wuwei City after receiving the warning, and set up several warning lines in the villages and towns and major traffic arteries along the way. Very fast.

When the social crowd gathered and flocked to Santo Domingo Avenue, the heavily armed officers and soldiers of the 205th Division had already begun to enter the city, advancing all the way, blocking the intersection all the way, and everyone was only allowed to enter but not to exit.

It took several hours for the sporadic volleys of gunfire and the continuous noise to subside gradually.

in the next few days

The Southern Military Region mobilized three divisions to enter the Straits Province and Zhennan Province through the railway, and implemented a comprehensive blockade and strike against the area. The military operation lasted for several months before it came to an end.

The imperial military participated in the ruthless suppression of the rebels and would not indulge any gangsters.

The specific small-scale military operations at the regiment and battalion level continued to blockade some remote mountainous areas until three years later. The local Indian residents were all emptied, and the rebels who fled to the mountainous areas were completely strangled.

Either starved to death in the mountains, or died of illness due to lack of medical care, or fell to death, or was attacked by fierce beasts and poisonous insects, anyway, they were not allowed to step out of the vast mountains and jungles alive.

According to statistics afterwards;
In the "Wuwei City Regicide Incident", 611 rioters were killed, more than 1720 were arrested, and nearly [-] people were involved afterwards.

However, this official statistics has been questioned by many voices from the public, some voices also come from overseas scholars, according to sources who cannot prove their identities;

After the "Wuwei City Regicide Incident", the city was under full martial law for a week, and the number of rioters killed was more than 10 times that of the official claim. Only 31 carriages transporting the corpses were dragged overnight until the dawn of the next day.

There were no less than 3.2 Hispanic white men and no less than 10 Indians who were arrested. Most of these people went to the hard labor camps in the mines, and very few survived in the end.

All these unfounded speculations and exaggerations were denied by the imperial government. Instead, a large amount of evidence was produced to prove that those involved were severely punished by the law. This position was also generally agreed by European countries.

The royal power is sacred and inviolable. The "Wuwei City Regicide Incident" itself has touched the sensitive nerves of the feudal kingdoms in Europe, and there are iron-like facts to support it, which cannot be denied.

With the current international influence of the Tang Empire, which is close to the world's second-rate powers, no one wants to find trouble in this matter, including Britain.

There are indeed more than 1000 cases involving the "Wuwei City King Killing Incident" that were publicly pronounced and independently prosecuted, but these are all a group of imperial nobles headed by Ningguo Kilometer Bella Rodriguez, and celebrities who once held important social positions And the owner of a large white manor, and the last one is also a white mayor.

In the case of convincing evidence, these families were convicted without exception, exceeding all family properties, having their titles and honors banned, and subjected to a series of severe punishments ranging from hanging to hard labor.

Files related to Bella-Rodriguez and a group of nobles in Ningguo were submitted to the Court of Nobles. His personal evidence is convincing, and there is no doubt that he is involved with the rebel organization "Society of the Holy Light".

One of the main leaders of the "Society of the Holy Light" is Ferdinand Rodriguez, the third son of Bella Rodriguez in Ningguo.

After a specific vote by the upper house of the aristocratic council, His Majesty the Emperor signed an imperial decree depriving the hereditary honors and fiefdoms of Bella-Rodriguez and the nobles involved in the case, and punished them according to law to emulate you.

Does anyone know how many people were involved in the "Wuwei City Regicide Incident"?

This is a confused account. According to official records, there are thousands of people. Some people say 15, and some say 40. Anyway, there are different opinions.

The case even led to the downfall of some nobles in the provinces of Monan and Mexico. There were more than 1400 nobles involved in the case, and more than [-] people were involved. Basically, all of them were uprooted.

The pursuit of fugitives in the "Wuwei City King Killing Incident" lasted for nearly a year. Many Indian tribes in the mountainous areas were dug out and suffered genocide, but few people knew about it.

In this major case that shocked China and the world, the royal family of the Tang Empire has always insisted on judicial punishment, and tried its best not to affect the criminal's wife, daughter and minor family members. This point has been widely praised by European countries.

What they didn't know afterwards was that the black files in the Tang Empire were carried on their backs, especially the black files of the regicide rebellion. The criminals' wives, daughters, and minor family members became the lowly people in society that everyone feared to avoid. Most of them were reduced to brothels and prostitute villages, while the men were sold to work in unscrupulous plantations until they died. The situation was extremely miserable.

No one dared to hire these people with a dark history, even the nobles with a strong background would not dare, that would be asking for trouble, and they would be a bit impatient.

A large number of convicts involved in the case were sent to the mine, which greatly enriched the Molenci Copper Mine, which suffered from labor shortage, and benefited several large silver mines in Mexico. The output of copper and silver therefore A lot of growth.

The output of copper ore at the peak of the Morenchi copper mine with the largest reserves in the world reached 3.7 tons. Although a lot of machinery and equipment have been added over the years, the output has always hovered between 2.6 and 2.8 tons, mainly due to the lack of a large number of labor forces. .

This time

The Molenci Copper Mine has enough confidence that in the new year, the output of copper ore will exceed the 4 tons mark, an increase of 50% compared to the previous year.

Similar situations have also appeared in the major banks of Mexico, which makes the managers of the major mines gear up and prepare to perform well, increase the output of the mines, and hand over an impressive performance.

In this era, it is said that there are thousands of words and ten thousand, and mining is inseparable from the most basic manpower, and machinery can only play a small auxiliary role.

After iron-blooded suppression, the countless troubles that had been lingering on the desk were gone, all kinds of sharp ethnic conflicts, dissatisfaction and complaints were gone, and the calm and peaceful atmosphere that should have been restored in society has been restored.

Straits Province and Zhennan Province dropped from the provinces with the highest proportion of 57.3% Hispanic whites and Indians to 6.7%, while the proportion of Chinese ethnicity increased significantly to more than 93%, and increased to 97% a few years later. %, becoming one of the provinces with the highest proportion of Chinese.

This incident greatly promoted the intermarriage between the white aristocratic group and the Chinese ethnic group, and formed a trend that led to the widespread intermarriage between the white group and the Chinese ethnic group in the imperial society, but it was an unexpected good thing.

Fuso Islands
After the "Rebellion of the Taiping Army", the deeply hit Fusang vassals woke up from the dream of "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians", and unanimously changed the slogan to a "respecting the king" movement. Dare to mention it.

After burning down the stables of the Consulate of the Tang Empire, the shogunate was forced to pay 650 million Tang yuan in compensation, and after bombarding Shimonoseki and Tokyo, it accepted the garrison requirements of the five countries of Tang, Ying, France, Hope,
The Changshu domain was severely damaged, and the nearby Kagoshima and Satsuma domains were also affected by the flames of war. The economy and population suffered heavy losses, especially a large number of young Fuso women who were captured by the Taiping Army (known as the "Amami Volunteer Militia") The total population is as high as 17, which has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the local people.

It's a pity that the weak have no status, and no one listens to their cries.

By the end of 1863, when the shogunate made substantial concessions, the situation on Fuso Island gradually stabilized, leaving only devastation...

Nov. 1863, 12

The Saxon and Hanoverian armies entered Holstein in the name of the German Confederation. The two armies were enthusiastically supported by the local residents. The German people who welcomed the locals flocked to the streets in festive costumes and presented flowers to the invading federal troops.

Encouraged by the support of the people, Duke Frederick immediately held a ceremony in the Protestant church and declared himself "Frederek VIII".

At this time, Holstein's nominal suzerain, the Kingdom of Denmark, reacted a bit slower, because their old king was dying of lingering illness, and the new king Christian IX had not yet been able to be crowned and inherit the throne.

Even though the German public opinion is hot, neither the Austro-Prussian countries have been able to prepare for the war, lest they will be involved in a European war. Bismarck called it a "foolish move".

Bismarck understood deeply;
Now European countries are paying close attention to the situation in Holstein and Schleswig. The two countries signed the agreement in 1852, so the law of succession must be maintained.

Their actions are only entirely correct if the Kingdom of Denmark violates the terms of the agreement, leaving no excuse for other Continental countries to intervene.

Duke Frederick's unauthorized actions can't actually decide anything, but will make the situation worse, more chaotic, and lead to an unpredictable future.

However, Prime Minister Bisman of the Kingdom of Prussia found another good opportunity to intervene, and he quietly waited for the opportunity.

Prime Minister Bisman knew;
On the thorny road to the unification of the German nation, the war between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Denmark is an inevitable warm-up.

Whether the two regions of Holstein and Schleswig under the rule of the Kingdom of Denmark can be recovered is related to the struggle between Prussia and Austria for the leadership of the German nation, and it is a touchstone for European countries to deal with German unification.

Whoever prepares better will have the last laugh.In order to complete the great cause of the unification of the German nation, Bismarck maintained excellent patience, waiting for the opportunity like an old hunter.
