Wild North America 1846

Chapter 495 Internal Affairs

In the South American War, the Andean Governor's Palace will be the main response, and the Tang Empire only needs to provide necessary weapons, equipment and material support.

After the Battle of the Binonite Valley, Argentina and Uruguay were effectively out of the war.

The Argentine government sent a clear signal for peace, expressing its willingness to admit defeat, willing to start post-war peace talks on the basis of respecting the conditions of the victorious countries, and would not continue to reinforce the Allied Forces. The attitude was quite sincere.

Uruguay is soy sauce, completely negligible.

Among the Triple Alliance, only the Brazilian Empire is still gritting its teeth. According to intelligence, it is in close contact with French loan sharks, seeking to import a large amount of military aid from Europe, hoping to obtain some military equipment from the French inventory.

A new round of war mobilization is going on in Brazil, and the news media and other organizations are frantically clamoring to cut off the claws extended by the "Orientals", and fight south to the Fuego province, driving all the Orientals into the sea and drowning .”

Obviously, this is going to be stubborn to the end.

As the old saying goes, whoever hits the ass with the board will know the pain.

The Tang Empire has never regarded the Brazilian Empire as an opponent. In the planned South American strategy, it adopted the policy of "distance and near attack".

Mainly manifested in wooing and infiltrating the Brazilian Empire, Venezuela and Colombia.Focus on suppressing and dismembering neighboring Argentina, deter Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and other neighboring countries, so as to control the situation in South America.

The most crucial point of this;
It is to support Paraguay to stir up wind and rain in South America, while the Tang Empire is behind the scenes to balance the situation.

most of the time

There is no need for the Tang Empire to come forward in person, just let Paraguay rush to the front.

Considering that the purchase of Beihai Province has already touched the sensitive areas of major powers in the world, it is not appropriate for the Tang Empire to intensify conflicts for the time being. Emperor Li Cha made up his mind to focus on the strategy of "hiding our strengths and biding our time".

A lot of opportunities are at your fingertips, don't worry about getting angry.

This is not because the Tang Empire is afraid of the British, French, or Russians, but that there is no need to actively create confrontation and intensify conflicts in Northeast Asia.

For the present and future of the Tang Empire, the core interests will always be in North America and Central America, and the secondary interests will be in South America and Europe, because Europe is the center of the world stage today.

Northeast Asia and even Southeast Asia are not the focus of imperial policy.

at the current stage

Emperor Li Cha focused most of his energy on the country, and recently transferred back the Governor of the Southern Region, Earl Dong Jie, to serve as the Royal Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and entrust him with important tasks.

The main scope is to preside over the judicial purge and push through the parliament a dozen or so proposed laws and regulations.Standardize the administrative systems of the Imperial Audit Office, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Correctional Service and the Police General Administration, improve administrative efficiency, eliminate corruption, and implement the official assessment system.

In order to support Earl Dong Jie's work, Emperor Li Cha granted him the right to act arbitrarily, and officials below the deputy ministers of various ministries and commissions can deal with it first and then report it.

After Earl Dong Jie became the Royal Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, he transferred 37 capable secretaries from the Royal Secretariat and cooperated with more than a hundred officials transferred from various ministries to form the current Royal Administrative Office. The work has been carried out vigorously and has achieved great results.

since this time
According to the case clues collected by the Royal Administrative Office, the Huitong Police Department has summoned more than 2300 people, detained 771 officials at all levels suspected of crimes, and filed 329 cases. It was initially found that the involved cases have reached more than 3700 million Tang yuan, which is an astonishing amount.

Next Step

Earl Dong Jie is a sharp knife. With the full support of His Majesty the Emperor, the Royal Administration will dig deep into the big fish behind it and push the "clean government storm" deeper.

Recently, the Propaganda Department has made continuous reports following the case of the Royal Administrative Office, and the dark side exposed is outrageous.

Earl Dong Jie, as the Royal Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and repeatedly solved major and important cases, clearing up the administration of officials in the empire. His personal prestige was unprecedentedly improved, and he won a lot of political capital.

This laid the foundation for Earl Dong Jie to take over as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet three years later, and at the same time offended a considerable part of the empire's dignitaries.

The "clean government storm" movement promoted by the emperor of the Tang Empire consolidated the lofty status of the royal family and had a positive impact.

In the long-reading reports of the Propaganda Department, His Majesty is widely loved by the people for his strong support for anti-corruption.

Since the establishment of the empire more than 20 years ago, the overall economic field has shown a scene of emerging and prosperous development, and the process of industrialization has continued to deepen. It has become the second advanced country in the world to enter full industrialization.

The achievements achieved are enormous, but there are also many problems.

In recent years
Some serious economic corruption cases and power-for-private cases continued to break out within the empire. The rich and powerful capital secretly colluded to form a monopoly. Some places used clan or region as the boundary to exclude foreign merchants, bully the market, and run rampant in the countryside.

There are also some bureaucrats who purposely form nepotism through in-laws, promote relatives and friends, use public power as a cover to seek economic benefits, obstruct the free flow of capital, and build dark homes and underground kingdoms large and small.

However, some officials of the government's functional departments ignored the system and neglected their responsibilities. Andili formed a community of interests with some dignitaries, which became a protective umbrella in disguise, causing bad reviews in the society and greatly damaging the image of the empire.

Throughout the feudal kingdoms of Europe

Its royal government and dignitaries have been corrupt for a long time, and all kinds of intricate interest chains have become a cancer that hinders the country's progress. The harm is far greater than that of the Tang Empire.

If you want to sweep away the various social ills of the feudal kingdoms in Europe, there is no other way but to completely overthrow the old feudal kingship and replace it with a democratic and progressive bourgeois government.

The French Revolution that broke out in 1789 pushed Louis XVI to the guillotine and gave birth to the First French Republic. The wave of bourgeois democracy in the early 1th century almost overthrew the Austrian Empire that had been ruled by Habsburg for hundreds of years.

these striking examples

It reflects that with the emergence of democratic and free thoughts in today's era, the awakening of European national consciousness, the people at the bottom of society are unwilling to bear the exploitation of the decadent feudal ruling class, and they are fighting against the general trend.

Because of the feudal system, the Tang Empire inevitably suffered from various problems.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the whole country was twisted together to develop the economy and build homes, forming a fiery wave of construction.

A large number of capable officials with ideals and ambitions have devoted themselves to the construction boom of the rise of the Tang Empire, and have achieved fruitful results in various fields, contributing to the current fiery development of the Tang Empire.

There are indeed such and such problems, and there are many. Fortunately, they are not serious, and there is still time for timely treatment.

Emperor Li Cha had a broad vision from later generations. This "clean government storm" promoted by him was very timely and very effective.

The next step is to take advantage of the good situation and vigorously promote the passage of more than a dozen important draft laws through the parliament.

This includes the Law on the Equal Rights of Citizens of the Tang Dynasty, the Electoral Law, the Criminal Law (Amendment), the Civil Law of the Tang Dynasty (2nd Edition), the Marriage Law, the Nationality Law, the Public Safety Transportation Law, "Imperial Citizens' Property Inheritance Law", "Interim Regulations on Public Security of the Tang Empire", "Urban Public Health Regulations", "Regulations on Civil Servants of the Tang Empire" and a series of bills to improve the foundation of ruling the country by law and establish a sound legal society environment.

Only in this way can we break away from the rule of man and enter a society ruled by law.

It is the original intention of a series of legislation to restrict the behavior of the public through the law, embodying the principle that nobles and ordinary citizens are equal before the law, and depriving and diluting the superior power of the nobles. It is also a bitter medicine to solve the current core contradictions in society.

Emperor Li Cha knew very well;

The rule of law of the Tang Empire cannot be maintained and rectified by "clean government storms" again and again. That is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause.

The disadvantage of the feudal dynasty is that the nobles and the ruling class are superior to others. In a peaceful and prosperous environment, corruption and power trading are easy to breed.

The future way out of the Tang Empire is a constitutional monarchy, giving full play to the role of parliamentary democratic supervision, suppressing the expansion of selfish desires of the privileged class, and forming a new type of political system that is more enlightened, has a perfect legal environment, and has a strong supervisory role.

If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future.

Relying on his incomparable lofty prestige, Richard is now gradually promoting the transition of the social system to a constitutional monarchy.

First of all, it is necessary to establish a whole set of democratic election system in the society, and truly put it in place.

Instead of letting the nobles and dignitaries control the local government power and important departments, it will inevitably fall into the quagmire of corruption.

Power without supervision is prone to corruption, and this law of human nature is universal.

It is enough for the dictatorship to have Li Cha for the rest of his life. The future heir to the throne of the Tang Empire can just be a royal mascot. The cabinet makes decisions on major and minor matters of the country. This is a successor to the British practice.

say something bad
With Li Cha's current outstanding physique, it would not be a big deal to live another 70 or [-] years.

There is a high probability that these princes today will not be destined for the throne, and there may be some possibilities for future grandchildren.

late at night
In a tavern on a back street in Los Angeles
Most of the dozen or so tables in the tavern were full of people, and the smoke was lingering. The guests chatted under the stimulation of alcohol, and some people brought the topic to the current vigorous "clean government storm".

"Hey, buddy, do you know who's the big guy behind the "Pier [-] Den case in Los Angeles" that's being reported in the papers these days?"

"I don't know what's going on. The newspapers say that the Zheng family and the Liu family have teamed up to monopolize the transportation and storage business of Pier 2. It is said that the gangs on the dock who work hard to carry bags only follow their lead. The gangsters have killed many people over the years, and anyone who disobeyed them was directly tied up and thrown into the Pacific Ocean to feed fish and shrimp."

"Yes, I also know this. This group of people is used to being domineering. The young master of the Liu family drove the car all day long, showing off the streets with gorgeous women. It is said that the seventh concubine who was just married is also a beautiful Chinese lady who was born in an official family. People."

"Are you kidding... the eldest lady of an official family will become a concubine? In that powerful family, she is also the wife of the wife! You can't even grab it."

"You don't know, the Seventh Aunt's family just immigrated from the old continent, and they were looked down upon by others on the pier, and they had to follow through with both soft and hard tactics. The Liu family is a bullying thing on the pier. Have you done less?"

"That's right, thanks to Master Qingtian, Lord Dong, it's really satisfying to have caught all these evil spirits in. There is a way of saying that evil is rewarded with evil, and the time has not yet come!"

"Cut... what do you know? This family surnamed Liu is not simple. Think about the current prime minister's surname?"

"My God, it's impossible, isn't it?"

"What's impossible? This man-eating world is as black as crows. Those meritorious nobles climbed up to Lao Li's house, and all their eyeballs can see the sky. When will we ordinary people be treated as human beings?"

"You can't say that. We can't speak and act against our conscience. We can live a good life now thanks to the blessing of Long Live God. Don't dare to be careless."

"What is nonsense? It's nothing new to make the emperor Lao Tzu. Why should those nobles ride on our heads and do their best? Why can't we be like North America where everyone is equal and free?" ? This shitty way of the world is to bully us poor people..."

The thin, horse-faced man said frothingly, some of the drinkers disagreed, some actively participated, and the discussion was quite heated.

The tavern owner stood behind the counter and heard that the words were wrong, his expression changed slightly, and he secretly winked at the bartender.

The young and alert bartender nodded unnoticed, cast his eyes on the man with a horse face who was foaming, turned around, walked into the narrow passage, and went out through the back door to call the police.

not long
Several heavily armed Los Angeles police officers came in from the back door of the tavern, stood in the shadow of the light and watched coldly, only to see that the horse-faced man and his accomplices had stood up, preaching the benefits of democracy and freedom that everyone is equal, in their words Belittle the rule of the empire outside the words, and point the finger at the imperial family.

Slandering the imperial family is a felony.

The royal family of the Tang Empire is different from countries like France and the Netherlands. Random comments are not allowed, and any remarks that slander the royal family are strictly prohibited. Violators will be severely punished.

On the streets of Paris, some people casually distributed little pornographic books on the French queen's tryst with her lover, and the secret news of Napoleon III's secret meeting with his mistress, all of which Parisians talked about after dinner.

In a country that had beheaded the French Emperor Louis XVI, it was just interesting tidbits.

But in the dictatorship of the Tang Empire, this is a terrible thing.

"Shut up... Los Angeles police, you are under arrest." A few policemen couldn't bear it anymore, drew their revolvers and rushed up, knocking these people down one after another, and tied their arms tightly.

The bar owner standing aside looked on coldly, then shook his head helplessly.

In this empire, there are not a few people who pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to scold their mothers. Only when they are thrown into the hard labor camp will they know that the trouble caused by the big mouth will be unbearable in life.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

The Tang Empire and the United States of America lived next to each other, and the concepts of democracy, freedom, and equality that it had always advocated inevitably infiltrated through various channels, subtly affecting the people of the empire.

This is also the main reason why the feudal kingdoms in Europe are generally hostile to the United States of America. How many years have passed since the profound lessons of the French Revolution in 1789?

If people are confused, it will be difficult to lead the team.
