Wild North America 1846

Chapter 653 Multiculturalism
"Ow..."

There was a hoarse scream of pain, and the commander-in-chief of the Cuban rebel army, Agramonte, screamed with a distorted face. He was kicked by the big iron boots on the feet of the imperial officer and his ribs were broken. He lay on the mud as if Like a dead dog.

It started a few days ago

The Tang Empire pretended to inform the leaders of the Cuban rebel army that they were willing to conduct in-depth discussions on the formation of the new government and political charters, laying the foundation for the establishment of a new government of national autonomy, so extensive consultation was required.

The leaders and backbones of the rebel army located in various provinces of Cuba gathered together, enjoying the luxurious manors and delicacies of the Spanish colonists in major cities, and excitedly planning the ideal country in the future.

Who knew that the insidious Tang imperialists suddenly launched an attack, and at the same time, in major cities and towns including Santiago and Havana, the military and police were concentrated to arrest and suppress the unsuspecting Cuban rebels, and the situation suddenly changed suddenly.

These wolves and tigers of the military and police of the Tang Empire not only arrested the unsuspecting Cuban rebels, but also quickly expanded the scope of arrest through severe interrogation, affecting the families and others of the rebels.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the cities of Cuba and Puerto Rico. Tens of thousands of people were arrested and brutally suppressed. More than 2 rebels were disarmed and sent secretly to serve hard labor in silver mines in Mexico.

In just a few days

The Cuban native whites and indigenous Indians' struggle for freedom suffered a devastating blow, the entire island was shrouded in bloody suppression, and the Tang Empire showed a ruthless side.

The Cuban rebels headed by Agramonte never expected;

The Tang Empire, which had supported the Cuban independence and freedom movement for more than 10 years, suddenly changed its face and carried out a devastating blow to the local Cuban rebels, turning from a long-term ally to an executioner.

During the countless difficult days against the Spanish colonists, the Tang Empire was the backer and staunch ally of the rebels. Who would have thought that...

"Bah... a bunch of idiots, pull them out and kill them." The officer spat contemptuously and waved to the soldiers.

The wolf-like soldiers rushed up, pushed Agramonte and dozens of other leaders of the rebel army together, and then quickly turned and left.

not far from them
It was a row of heavily armed imperial soldiers. Heeding the officer's command, they raised their rifles in unison, aiming their black muzzles at the leaders of the rebel army.

Agramonte's mouth was full of blood, and he looked at his companions desperately and frantically and said;
"Being called by God, we will go to the holy kingdom together. May there be no more fraud, no more betrayal, and people can live in peace and friendship.

May our descendants firmly remember that the evil Tang imperialists are the eternal enemies of Cuba, and we must continue to fight against them..."

Hearing his words, the officer who raised his hand and was about to give the order to fire was immediately amused, and said contemptuously;

"Since you still don't give up, I'll tell you some good news. The new Governor of Cuba, Duke Escalade-Freich, issued the latest order;
All colonial males who do not have imperial household registration are prohibited from marrying, buying property, owning land and shops, recruiting workers, moving across town-level jurisdictions, holding public office, enlisting in the army, and forming and participating in associations.

This is the latest 8 bans, which have been fully implemented in Cuba and Puerto Rico since yesterday.

Congratulations... Welcome to Cuba Province, the new colony of the Tang Empire, let's go on the road with peace of mind!
Soldiers, fire! "

Hearing the officer's cold words, the last flame of hope in Agramonte's heart was extinguished, and he roared in despair.

He knew that Cuba was over, that there was no hope for the native whites and native Indians fighting for freedom.

What does it mean to ban marriage?
In just a dozen years, when this generation of Cubans gets old, all history and inheritance will be interrupted, and Cuba will have no future.

And those Chinese immigrants who swarm in will embrace Cuban women, establish families and pass on their families, and reproduce authentic Chinese cultural heritage, and the world will change...

"Ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba..."

A series of crisp volleys of gunshots rang out, and these unwilling Cuban insurgents spurted blood from their bodies, trembling and falling to death in the dense bullet rain.

Who is the new Governor of Cuba, Duke Escalade-Frech?

He is the eldest son of Marshal Harry Flech, the former deputy chief of the army staff who has died of illness (after death).

He is the confidant of His Royal Highness Tang-Li Kun, Prince of Pingnan. In the early years, he followed His Royal Highness Seventh Prince to study abroad at Emmeline Palace in Berlin for several years, and accompanied His Royal Highness Seventh Prince for more than 20 years. He is a military veteran who is proficient in Chinese and foreign history and humanities. Will.

Since the Cuban province was brought down by King Pingnan, it was logical for his confidant general to serve as the governor of Cuba.

Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, who served as the Governor of the Luzon Islands, also bore the deep imprint of the Eleventh Prince, His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, Prince of Pingxi, which would never be erased throughout his life.

1878 was a year of harvest for the empire, and it was also a year of replacing the old with the new.

In this year
There were Marshal Harry Fritch, First-Class Protector, Gonzales, First-Class Duke of Shun, Count Juan Carlos, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Count Chen Cailiang, former Minister of Finance, and other heavyweight founding heroes. People for new people.

Marshal Dai Changfu, Chief of the Army Chief of Staff Zhen Guogong, also resigned from his military post because of his frailty and sickness. This inevitably caused a change of power in the army.

The new chief of staff of the army is Marshal Mai Xiaozu, a veteran military general who showed his talents in the Colombian colonial war.

The wheel of history rolls forward...

Roaring on the royal patent over the moor
Li Cha, the 50-year-old Emperor of the Tang Empire, could hardly see the shadow of years on his body. He still looked chic and calm in his twenties, but the invisible imperial power on his body became stronger and stronger.

He has three major missions on this southern tour
The first is to participate in the grand ceremony of the official opening of the Nicaragua Canal on August 1878, 8. At that time, dignitaries from American countries and Europe gathered, and it was also a large-scale diplomatic event.

The second is to participate in the summit of the Americas and the establishment of the American Cooperation Organization and the foundation stone laying ceremony of the headquarters held in Panama on September 1878, 9.

Undoubtedly, this will be the highlight moment in the development of the Tang Empire so far, establishing the Tang Empire's dominance in the Americas and world-class powers in terms of form and system.

The third is to inspect the colonial area of ​​New Columbia. This colonial area has been in our hands for so many years. How about taking a look at the transformation of the fairy tale?
What advanced colonial experience can be summed up?

Are there any deficiencies to learn?
Is there anything that needs to be improved?
As a diligent and wise monarch, the group of courtiers under him dare not slack off at all times, running at high speed like a spinning top caught by a whip, managing the huge empire.

It has been 32 years since he ascended the throne, and Emperor Li Cha has governed this huge empire with ease. The officials are clear and bright, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful.

The train roared forward, and Li Cha looked out through the window at the beautiful scenery that was constantly receding outside. Even with his current patience, riding the train was utterly boring.

It has been 26 days since I traveled from the imperial capital Chang'an all the way to the south, passing through several cities for a short inspection and rest, and it will take more than 10 days to reach my destination in Huwan City, Central Plains Province.

The territory of the empire is really too big. It takes more than 20 days to take the train from west to east, and more than 40 days to take the train from north to south (note; the train is not direct, and you have to change stations, change trains, stop and avoid oncoming trains along the way) , and that's just reaching the southern tip of Columbia.

The north-south Pacific Railway has not yet been fully completed, and now the railway line in Peru is under construction in full swing, with a view to connecting southward with the central railway line being built northward in the Andean Governor's Palace.

Judging from the current project construction status, it will take about two and a half years, and the entire railway construction period will be about 4 and a half to 5 years.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the carriage, Emperor Li Cha looked up, and it turned out that it was General Liu Wu (Liu Wu), the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards with gray hair, who walked into the royal box and saluted respectfully; " Your Majesty, the train will enter Mexico City in more than an hour, and the governor of the southern region and the chief executives of the southern provinces have already been waiting, please give your instructions."

"Well, let the train stop on the platform for two hours, and let them come up one by one to see each other for 5 minutes."

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing General Liu Wu, who couldn't hide his aging state, leaving with a respectful expression, Emperor Li Cha sighed in his heart.

He wanted to get close to some of these old courtiers, but it made them more and more anxious, so he could only do it.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, Gu, Zhen, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor who has been deified. Who would dare to sit with him?
Scenes of the past flowed through my heart, as if it was just yesterday, not far away.

But watching the people around him grow old one by one, Emperor Li Cha couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time is fleeting and time is gone.

But his body was in excellent condition, and he didn't feel any obvious decline in his physical fitness, and he was still full of energy.

Just in the box of the royal train, he can still control several daughters at night. The eldest son of the emperor to the seventh son of the emperor are all in their thirties, and the 61st son of the emperor has just been born.

After thinking wildly for a while, Emperor Li Cha cast his eyes out of the window, and the scene outside the car window has changed greatly.

Large tracts of farmland and villages disappeared, replaced by dense and tall urban buildings. Some high-rise buildings with a height of more than ten floors rose from the ground, showing the magnificent volume of this metropolis in the south of Mexico City.

Over 20 years

Mexico City has developed into an important city in the south, the fifth largest city in the empire with a population of 147 million, of which the Chinese population accounts for more than 86%. Catholic churches and Spanish-style buildings can be seen everywhere in the city, showing the unique charm of this southern metropolis .

The closer you get to the urban area, the denser the high-rise buildings become. You can see cars passing through the streets and alleys one after another, which complement the old-age buildings, showing the vitality of old trees blooming with new flowers.

Mexico City, this is a very distinctive southern metropolis.

In Emperor Richard's long-term plan

In the future, Mexico City will be a metropolis integrating tourism, culture, southern economic center and religious features. It will focus on rescuing and discovering Indian culture, which is one of the important pieces of the puzzle of a diverse empire.

Of course

These policies cannot be advocated now, but forceful suppression and assimilation should be carried out. Severe suppression and cruel exploitation should be the main focus, and the population proportion of the Chinese ethnic group should be gradually increased.

It will take at least the beginning of the next century to implement the policy of rescue and excavation of culture, depending on the situation, but it must be implemented.

The rich multi-ethnic cultural heritage will make people cherish, remember and feel the charm of different cultures, which will deepen the attraction of Mexico City, a metropolis, and create a steady stream of cultural wealth.

So, the last sentence is the purpose.
