Wild North America 1846

Time flies, and three years have passed without realizing it.

In the past few years, major events have happened one after another, making it impossible for Richard, who originally planned to come back to see the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother Lin for the last time, to escape and be bound to the palace.

Isn't this... At the beginning of the new year, another big news came. The Qing Dynasty was gone and the Republic of China was over.

imperial capital chaoge
In a palace with beautiful scenery, this palace is called Wanshou Palace, which is the daily residence of the Holy Emperor Taizu.

He doesn't want to live in the Taifu Palace of the new emperor. There are two generations apart. Isn't it awkward to live together?
Compared to His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu, who was extraordinarily energetic, the new emperor Tang Yezong only had one queen and eight concubines. He had given birth to more than a dozen children so far, 4 of whom died in infancy. Only five boys and seven girls had grown up, and the huge palace was cold. Deserted.

this day

Tang Yezong took the Crown Prince Tang Li Mingsu and several other princes to the Wanshou Palace to pay their respects as a routine.

From a distance, I saw the Holy Emperor Taizu wearing cool linen clothes, sitting barefoot on the couch with a bored expression, and I knew that my Holy Emperor Grandpa couldn't sit still again.

You must know that this is the weather in Chaoge in September. Middle-aged people like me are wearing sweaters to keep warm. Grandpa Shengzu Huang wears a cool linen suit in addition to his close-fitting clothes, and he also exposes his chest.

Speaking of physical health, the 84-year-old Holy Ancestor Emperor is really stronger than a young man.

Tang Yezong was full of envy, and he brought several princes forward to greet him respectfully, saying, "Holy ancestor, please be well". His Highness Tang Li Mingsu directly called "The Holy Emperor".

Now they don't dare to wish "Grandpa the Holy Emperor Taizu a long life". Seeing that there are still more than ten years left, doesn't that mean he is cursing the Holy Emperor Taizu a short life?

With such a body, it would not be unusual to live another five or sixty years.

Tang Yezong knew that there were several young girls hidden in the Longevity Palace. All of them were fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged, and had hot figures. They were also little goblins who could tease people.

The Holy Emperor Taizu often visited these beautiful girls, and they were much more energetic than himself.

My family knew about their own affairs. Tang Yezong was currently involved in political affairs. The queen and concubines in the palace had not been here for a long time and were too lazy to go.

"What's the matter if you don't leave after saying hello?" Richard asked.

He is now a mature man, and with a quick glance, he knows that there is something hidden in Tang Yezong's heart.

Facing the Holy Ancestor Emperor, Tang Yezong did not need to show off his usual majestic look. He waved the crown prince and several other princes to retreat.

Then he sat down on the soft stool under the couch with a smile and a shy face, stretched out his hand to gently tap Richard's legs, and Richard glanced at him without saying a word.

"Grandpa Holy Ancestor, hasn't the Imperial Colonial Department always planned to capture Mozambique? I think the Empire has not made any progress in more than ten years, and it's time to make some moves, so I agreed." Tang Yezong explained with a smile.

Under the auspices of the Holy Emperor Taizu, the Tang Empire went through two rounds of purges from top to bottom, and hundreds of plutocratic nobles were liquidated.

After deliberation in the House of Lords, more than 70 people submitted to the emperor to remove the title of nobility.

This series of vigorous and vigorous purge campaigns completely established the authority of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and eliminated the cancer of collusion between government and businessmen. A total of more than 10 officials were implicated.

Some are imprisoned, some have resigned sadly, and some have had their careers ruined and have been blacklisted, and will never be able to hold government office again.

Without exception, these officials paid back a large amount of wealth in order to obtain the ICAC's understanding and receive a lighter punishment.

The long-standing evils formed over decades were eradicated, and hundreds of millions of subjects in the empire were applauded from top to bottom.

all of these

It was the Holy Emperor Taizu who took action. With him at the center, the whole country was able to dig out all the corrupt officials and plutocratic nobles without any trouble.

No one dared to be dissatisfied, no one dared to resist, and surrendered obediently as soon as the Independent Commission Against Corruption issued a circular.

The imperial administration was purged from top to bottom, and a large number of talented people were promoted to important positions. Many administrative college graduates with civilian backgrounds showed outstanding talents or were re-employed.

The operational efficiency of the imperial administrative agencies has been greatly improved, ushering in a new round of prosperous development...

at the same time
The call for foreign colonial expansion is getting louder and louder. Tang Yezong is still young and wants to do an ambitious and big undertaking.

Although he would never dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Emperor Taizu, he still had to do some undertakings to expand the territory, and he did not waste his term as Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What should he leave behind?
"Mozambique can just take it. Yunzhong Province will be mobilized, and the Red Sea Garrison will be responsible for commanding military operations. The Portuguese's military strength is not strong. They only have [-] to [-] troops. It is not a big deal." Richard said At this point, he also looked at Tang Yezong, chuckled, and continued: "You must have more than this on your mind. Tell me, where else are you going to move?"

Since the Holy Emperor Taizu had already asked this, Tang Yezong did not hide anything and continued to hammer his legs with a smile;
"The two vassal kingdoms of Paraguay and Uruguay are planning to carve up the southern part of Brazil.

I thought about it and thought it was feasible.

If I can get some more land in South America, I would like to create vassal states for a few of the princes, so that I can pass it on to the emperors and their uncles.

They don't even want to go to Africa, and they don't have large territories anywhere else. "

Richard snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "We are now in a new era, and we are still thinking about these colonial expansions. The international trend of nationalism is getting stronger and stronger. Now we can't do evil things like before. Well... ...After fighting this battle, can you be honest?"

Tang Yezong's heart dropped when he heard this. Who would have thought that when the conversation changed later, there would be such a big surprise?He immediately smiled from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. I don't have such extravagant expectations. I'll be satisfied by arranging a vassal state for all four princes."

"Then go ahead and plan it yourself. Remember to resolve it quickly and don't end up in a mess."

"Lian understands, thank you, Grandpa Holy Ancestor, for showing mercy."

"Go ahead, I'll be going outside for a while, just don't stop me." Richard said calmly.

Tang Yezong immediately became alert upon hearing this. He opened his mouth to ask more questions, but saw that the Holy Emperor Taizu had his eyes closed and ignored him at all.

He did not dare to alarm the Holy Emperor Taizu, so he stood by the couch and hesitated for a long time before leaving uneasily.

The Holy Emperor Taizu had learned from the past and it took more than 7 years before he came back after traveling out for the last time.

Now that I am older, my body is still solid, but how can I make people feel at ease?
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the master of billions of subjects, and he also took the lead in setting an example and governing the world with filial piety and righteousness.

The Holy Emperor Taizu is now older and more playful. What if something goes wrong outside?
Thought of here
Tang Yezong really felt as if the sky had fallen, and he couldn't bear such serious consequences.

Feeling that Tang Yezong had left, Richard opened his eyes and started counting the time with his fingers.

This year is already September 1912, and it was only more than a year before the outbreak of the First World War.

Such a big melon, I always feel itchy in my heart if I don’t see it with my own eyes.

Moreover, now that everything in the empire is going smoothly, and the most offensive political purge movement has ended, it can at least continue to flourish for several decades.

The rule of law in the Tang Empire was further improved. Overseas colonies, vassal states, and provinces experienced the initial stage of forced ethnic integration. Today, the population structure is reasonable, with Chinese accounting for more than 8% to 9% of the population.

Chinese education continues to be promoted and popularized, and the cultural communication led by the Tang Empire has been widely spread around the world through various new forms of radio and film.

The imperial government and the royal family have clear responsibilities and powers, forming an overall pattern in which the parliament is greater than the imperial power, and a good situation in which the powers of the judiciary, the internal affairs and the general audit office, and the ICAC are restricted.

Without too much intervention, the Tang Empire entered a good track of long-term and orderly development.

in the middle east

The Special Interest Zone of the Tang Empire in the Arabian Peninsula has developed even more deeply. The Chinese population has occupied the dominant social group there, from Jeddah, Yemen to the Kingdom of Oman, to Doha, to Abu Dhabi, to Kuwait, and has formed a complete contiguous area. Chinese-dominated area.

As long as the Ottoman Empire falls apart, these ripe fruits will fall into the bag one after another.

Occupying the Gulf region, which is rich in oil resources, controls the lifeblood of the world's industrial and economic development, and can ensure that the Tang Empire will always occupy a dominant position in the world in the next 100, 200 or even longer years.

With a hand full of king cards, you can't lose even if you want to.

If this is the case, then I should feel more relaxed.

Richard felt that his body was very good. Although he was a little tired after visiting beautiful girls one after another, it was mainly due to boredom and seeking a sense of conquest in his youthful body.

Once you really arrive in Europe and experience firsthand the cruel reality of war in Europe, you probably won’t have so much leisure.

Thinking of this
Richard's thoughts of running outside grew like weeds, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

After several months of bargaining, Richard had to accept the more stringent conditions of the royal family. He took a group of royal guards officers, a dozen royal servants and two concubines who had been carefully selected to embark on a European trip again.

On March 1913, 3, he took a cruise from Chaoge, the imperial capital, to Europe.

at the same time
The Tang Empire's war of colonial conquest against Mozambique has also begun...

Mid 3 month

The Mozambique Expeditionary Force, composed of the Red Sea Garrison, was mobilized in Yunzhong Province with a total of 3.2 troops and embarked on a journey to conquer Mozambique.

The Red Sea Squadron dispatched some troops to provide maritime support for the expedition.

The entire battle process was lackluster. The Portuguese rule in Mozambique was extremely fragile. The arrival of the Tang Empire was like a giant kicking down the thatched shed, bringing about continuous defeats like dominoes.

The Tang Empire's expeditionary force advanced with great success. After occupying Mozambique Island, the three armies advanced together along the Zambezi River and quickly defeated the local Portuguese army and white armed forces.

Until the end of July
The sporadic battles were basically over. The Imperial Expeditionary Force paid a slight price and unsurprisingly occupied the entire territory of Mozambique, sweeping the Portuguese rule into the trash.

This incident did not cause much trouble in Europe, because Europe is currently in a state of turmoil. Newspapers in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Italy have read endless reports, all speculating on when the war that will affect the whole of Europe will begin?
The arms race has continued to an unsustainable level, and has spiraled out of control in various countries.

If we don't fight a fierce war, it is estimated that the European countries themselves will start to fall into chaos and tear the country into pieces.

A large-scale war is the best solution to divert internal conflicts.
