Wild North America 1846

The seven powerful characters of "Royal University of Medellin" fell on the rice paper. The strokes are majestic and majestic, implying an irrepressible majestic meaning. It really penetrates the back of the paper and demonstrates extraordinary skills.

Emperor Li Cha took a step back with the brush in his hand, appreciating it with satisfaction, and put the brush down.

Deputy Prime Minister Lin Wanqin and other ministers who accompanied Yu Jia on the visit looked even more enthusiastically, and sincerely praised;

"If your majesty's writing skills are divinely assisted, the words between the lines are indeed the demeanor of a master, especially this magnificent momentum, which no one else can imitate."

"Your Majesty has thousands of hills and valleys in his chest, which are naturally revealed in the pen, and the humble minister can only admire."

"This ink treasure hangs high in the main hall, and it should have the ability of gods and ghosts to reverse changes."

"Your Majesty has hundreds of millions of people in his heart, so that he can have such a grand layout, showing the great power of the Great Tang Dynasty, all in the strokes of the pen."

A group of ministers praised again and again, flattering words do not need money to spout out.Here, one of them is considered to be a human being, don't you know the truth of "icing on the cake"?

Guangnan Wangtang-Li Kun gave a deep salute, and said with a solemn expression; "I respectfully thank my father for bestowing calligraphy. The emperor's grace is immense. This is the blessing of all the people of the Kingdom of Colombia, and I am only ashamed to receive it."

Emperor Li Cha was also in a good mood, he turned around and faced the ministers with his hands behind his back, and said earnestly;

"Educating all the people to know etiquette, to understand the superiority and inferiority, to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and to follow filial piety, is the essence of our Han and Tang civilizations, and it is also the foundation of the Tang Empire culture.

From elementary school, middle school to higher education, the formation of a complete education system is crucial to establishing the identity of the mainstream ethnic group in the empire, and there should be no slack.

I hold a handful of sand in my hand, but when I let it go, it's still broken sand.

And the complete education system is the cement mixed in, which binds all these sands together to form a strong concrete.

It cannot be broken or smashed, and it has extremely strong centripetal force and cohesion. This is the important role of cultural identity.

You never have to hope that those aliens will truly agree with the rule of the empire from the bottom of their hearts.

They are like rented guests in the empire. They have different cultures, languages, and beliefs, so naturally they cannot be united in their hearts.

Only through national integration and cultural identity, through 50 or even 100 years of hard work by several generations, and through necessary measures, can the process of national integration be further accelerated.

This……"

Emperor Richard half turned around, pointed at the calligraphy spread out on the table with his finger, paused for a moment, and continued;
"The most powerful weapon is the primary cultural education starting from children, and the complete education system of higher education institutions. Forming language identity, cultural identity, and finally achieving the goal of national integration.

Only by deeply understanding the meaning contained in it can we unremittingly promote and improve the education system to include all children.

Dear friends, we still need to work hard! "

Emperor Richard did not get lost in the flattery and flattery of his ministers. Instead, he once again reiterated the importance of comprehensively promoting Chinese education through this inscription.

Whether you are a faint king or a wise king depends on this thought.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers respectfully accept the instruction, and absolutely dare not disobey it." All the ministers replied salutingly, with awe in their hearts.

When the sage was in court, he was always like a whip driving all the ministers to work diligently in government affairs. For decades, he did not slack off at all.

Therefore

The Tang Empire was running at high speed like a precise machine. The various ministries, departments, and bureaus of the imperial government checked and balanced each other, working together to maintain the stable development momentum of the empire.

Now every year, the Imperial Audit Office and the ICAC have to deal with tens of thousands of cases, prosecute and punish a group of corrupt officials, and eliminate unhealthy tendencies.

Many powerful people with noble titles were collapsed in anti-corruption cases. In addition to confiscating their property, they were deprived of their noble titles and fiefs through a vote of the House of Lords (House of Lords), and were reduced to the sad situation of exile on a deserted island in the Pacific.

People's greed is endless, and it is easier to lose oneself when power is in hand. There must be a sharp system to check and balance and restrain.

The General Audit Office of the Datang Empire and the ICAC are these two sharp knives. After the investigation of the relevant cases is completed, they will be submitted to the independent prosecutors of the empire, provinces and cities according to the procedures, and will be subject to public supervision.

In the case of conclusive evidence, it is difficult for the suspected criminal to escape legal punishment.

in this process

The figure of the imperial family never appeared from the beginning to the end. The General Audit Office and the Independent Commission Against Corruption were the two sharp knives at the forefront, attracting almost all the hatred.

This is where the Tang royal family was smart. Punishment of corrupt officials is widely welcomed by billions of people. These powerful and powerful people can't hold grudges against the royal family. Who can't restrain their greed?

The more brilliant the work of the General Accounting Office and the Independent Commission Against Corruption becomes, the more dazzling the imperial family’s halo of glory will be, and they will be respected and loved by billions of people.

After staying in Medellín for 5 days, Emperor Richard took the train and continued south to the Kingdom of Zhongzhou (formerly Ecuador) and the Kingdom of Fuyuan (formerly ceded by Peru) for a period of 7 days.

Throughout South America, the Tang Empire divided a total of 16 vassal states, which were inherited by 16 princes, including one princely kingdom (Note; Kingdom of Colombia) and 15 grand duchies.

This includes the Kingdom of Colombia, the Kingdom of Zhongzhou (formerly Ecuador) and the Kingdom of Fuyuan (formerly ceded by Peru), and the 11 provinces under the former Andean Governor's Mansion of the South American Desert Expedition, which were divided into 11 grand duchies.

In addition, after the Second South American War, the six provinces ceded from Chile were merged into two grand duchies along the Pacific coast, called Qinzhou Kingdom and Coastal Kingdom respectively,
Among them, His Royal Highness Tang-Li Zhe, the 22nd son of the emperor, was named the King of Qinzhou, and he became the 14th vassal king in South America.

The 23rd son of the emperor Tang-His Royal Highness Li Cheng was divided into Binhai King, and he became the 15th vassal king of South America.

The Tang Empire has only one vassal state in Central America, and that is the Kingdom of Cuba, including Cuba and the Puerto Rico Islands, and it is also one of the stronger vassal states.

The Tang Empire has four vassal states in North America, namely the Kingdom of Ohio, the Kingdom of Kentucky, the Kingdom of Oklahoma and the Kingdom of Massachusetts.

There are these 21 vassal states in the entire Americas, and there are 4 vassal states in the Western Pacific region outside the Americas, namely the Kingdom of Amami, the Kingdom of Luzon, the Kingdom of Cebu and the Kingdom of Mindanao. These vassal kingdoms are all emperors The imperial territory that Richard plans to inspect in the second half of next year.

Therefore, the Tang Empire now has a total of 25 vassal kingdoms, which all belong to the sacred territory of the Tang Empire, rather than vassal states in the ordinary sense. They are true biological sons.

The close vassal states that signed a long-term military mutual assistance treaty with the Tang Empire include the Kingdom of Ryukyu, Lanfang Kingdom, the Republic of Maine, the Republic of New York, the Republic of Florida, the Republic of Mississippi, the Republic of Georgia, the Republic of Connecticut, and South America's Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and The four countries of Uruguay, a total of twelve countries, belong to the vassal state of the military political and economic alliance second only to the son.

At all levels of government including politics, diplomacy, and military, these vassal states closely followed the Tang Empire, accepted military mobilization during wars, and formed a unified coalition to fight against the enemy.

In all of North America, only Canada and the Carolinas do not fall into this category.

Among them, the secret negotiations on the bilateral military covenant between the Republic of Carolina and the Tang Empire have lasted for 13 years, and the draft has been changed several times, but the final signing has still not been reached.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Republic of Carolina is actually isolated in the whole of North America, under the constant threat of the Tang Empire's soldiers, and sleeps all year round.

As a result, the Republic of Carolina maintained an army of 13.7 people, and military expenditures remained high all year round, seriously dragging down economic development.

Needless to say, the tyranny of the Tang Empire will never tolerate a rebellious boy with a different ambition lying on the side of the couch.

The reason why there was no attack or outright invasion was because of the inextricable relationship between the Carolina Republic and Europe. Britain, France, Germany and other countries strongly supported it and provided various military assistance.

As long as it can make the Tang Empire uncomfortable, these world powers will spare no effort to do so.

Not to curb the powerful influence of the Tang Empire spreading to the world, just to delay the pace a little bit.

It is really that this North American giant of astonishing size is developing too fast and too steadily, which makes the world powers fearful.

Sandwiched between the giants of North America and the world powers, the Republic of Carolina not only did not enjoy the prosperity of both sides, but lived a stumbling life, making life even more difficult, and the level of economic development lagged far behind its neighbors.

On the one hand, this was based on the joint economic sanctions imposed by the North American Alliance. On the other hand, the Great Tang Empire's soldiers suppressed the border and surrounded the Carolina Republic on three sides strategically. There were more than [-] Chen soldiers, which caused great psychological pressure.

The heavy troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire surrounded the Carolinas, from New Jersey, New York, the Eastern Capital (Washington), Georgia to Florida, like a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Just ask, who can sleep peacefully in this situation?

How careful is that?

The Republic of Carolina is a typical agricultural country with a single economic component. Cotton exports account for more than [-]% of the economic component, and the main export market is the United Kingdom.

Although Britain intends to support the Carolina Republic to confront the Tang Empire, it will never sacrifice its own interests. This is determined by the characteristics of its capital and will not be changed by the will of the London government.

Therefore, the cotton exported by the Republic of Carolina was often subjected to the joint efforts of British factory owners to lower prices, and at the same time, it was also under tremendous pressure from the British to free black slaves, which made the southerners feel pain and resentment.

The British had nothing to do. The British colonial Egypt and the Indian subcontinent were both large-scale cotton growing areas. The impact of cheap cotton from North America on the market had caused millions of cotton farmers in the British colonies to lose their livelihoods.

It was the cheapest cost for the Southerners to use black slaves. Coupled with the short distance and low transportation costs in the Atlantic Ocean, North American cotton exports had a unique advantage.

If left unattended, these important British colonies are bound to go into great trouble.

The Carolina Republic is the country with the highest concentration of blacks in North America. Due to the large influx of blacks from neighboring countries, blacks account for 57.4% of its total population.

Under strong pressure from Europe and the Tang Empire, although the Carolina Republic apparently liberated black slaves, it gave them freedom in a legal sense.

In fact, in this recalcitrant Nankee country, it was almost impossible for a free black man to get a job in any city, ride in a car with a white man, enter a white church, restaurant or tavern, or even touch the shadow of a white man.

All kinds of severe restrictions made free blacks still bound to the land and cotton plantations, leaving would mean it was difficult to survive.

In the joint economic sanctions of the United States against the Carolina Republic, restricting the movement of people is an important point, especially for free blacks.

In summary

The Southerners of the Carolina Republic were still able to make some profit in the cotton trade by squeezing the black labor force, but the profit was meager.

The American Alliance led by the Datang Empire has imposed economic sanctions on the Republic of Carolina for more than [-] years. Any agricultural machinery, automobile tractors, diesel engines, steam engines, and industrial products with a little technical content are all on the sanctions list.

Only consumer goods such as canned food, kerosene, sucrose, milk powder, coffee, cigars, and spiced silk are allowed to be exported in limited quantities, which leads to high local prices. The prices of these consumer goods are generally 2 to 3 times that of other North American regions.

There is a high price to pay to maintain a decent life in the upper class.

Surrounded by an iron wall surrounded by two powerful forces, with the weak body of the Carolina Republic, it is simply a dream to play such a difficult diplomatic game.

Just because the British are good at it doesn't mean that the stiff-minded Southerners can do it too.

It was under heavy pressure that the Carolina Republic was forced to negotiate a military-political alliance with the Tang Empire. Due to its reluctance, the talks went through many twists and turns, but no final agreement was reached.

The 13-year negotiation process reflects the ambivalence of the Carolina Republic.

The reason why Emperor Richard didn't deal with this rebellious boy was because the current situation in North America and even the entire America was very good, too much was too late.

If it is too harsh, it will inevitably make countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela feel sympathetic, and worry that bad luck will be their turn next.

There is Zhang and Chi in the way of control.

Standing in the lofty position of North American hegemon, the pattern must be generous, tolerant of different voices, and compatible with different countries. The word "pattern" is very important.

After beating almost all opponents in the Americas, the Tang Empire now emphasizes the need to "convince people with virtue" and seek common ground while reserving minor differences.

Today, the Datang Empire's hostility towards the Carolina Republic is obvious, and all kinds of intimidation, provocation and suppression are aimed at promoting the change of its domestic political atmosphere, rather than forcibly invading.

According to the words of Emperor Li Cha: "A mere ants can be wiped out with a single palm, but they will inevitably lose points in the international community. Too much is too much, and a wise man will not do it."

Just like the bullying of the Boers by the British Empire has aroused widespread suspicion and opposition in Europe, most European countries sympathize with the Boers, which is the most vivid example.

Far from adding to the glory of the empire, the military conquest of the Carolina Republic lost its broad moral support, which was not worth the candle.

What is the best?

That is, the Republic of Carolina admired Wenzhi and martial arts in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and was inspired to surrender by itself, so that even the British would not be able to get half a fart.

Those who subdue the soldiers without fighting are the good ones.
