The sun never sets in America

Chapter 151 The Wedding and the Map of Ten Thousand Miles of Country
The Monte Tribe...no, the Monte Town.

Meng Town, a town located in the southwest of Xijing, is a large town at the administrative level of the Han Dynasty.

(In the Han Dynasty, a town with a population of more than 5000 people was called a large town, a town with a population of less than 5000 people was called a middle town, a town with a population of more than [-] people was called a middle town, a town with a population of less than [-] people was called a lower town, and a town with a population of less than [-] people was called a lower town; if there was no town with less than [-] people, it was called a village.)
Monte Town is one of the earliest towns established in the Han Dynasty, and it is also a town dominated by Indians, and most of them are dominated by a tribe named Monte.

You must know that in the administrative planning of the Han Dynasty, it is rare to set up an independent area dominated by a certain ethnic group, unless it is a Chinese town.

Otherwise, even white towns will be divided. The earliest white towns no longer exist, and most of them have been changed to Chinese names.

For example, Pitt Town and Naton Town, except that the pronunciation is similar to the Latin alphabet, everything else has changed.

Even now, Spanish is no longer taught in Chinese schools.

You must know that in the earliest days, when the Han Dynasty was established, in order to stabilize the Mexican whites in the country, some compromises were made, and Spanish was among them.

However, in February of the second year of Longwu, that is, February of 1842 in the Western calendar, Spanish professors were officially eliminated from major primary and secondary schools in Han Dynasty, which also indicated that the countdown to the demise of Spain in Han Dynasty had begun.

Although many white people who have completely resigned themselves to their fate and no longer have any illusions about returning to Mexico cannot help but feel sad about the demise of Spain.

The famous white Chinese writer Santorini once wrote in his story of 1850:
"When my child came back from school, I found that there was no Spanish textbook in his school bag. I knew that it was all over. Our history as Mexicans and Spanish people was completely over..."

“Some people around me are hysterically excited about the demise of Spanish, as if as long as there is no Spain, they are pure Chinese people, while another part of the people insist on teaching their children Spanish at home, as if as long as they persist , they are still Mexicans, just like Spanish, but now, the children of those professors, are they still speaking Spanish? Even their children no longer speak Spanish..."

"The irony is that that year, our king married two concubines, as if to tell everyone that a new era has arrived!!"

Just as Santorini wrote in his book, the era of the New World has arrived...

…………

Mofu...

"Pack it all up..."

"We also need to tidy up over there and put the words "happy" on it."

"And over there..."

Mo San, a servant of the Mo Mansion, was instructing the servants with obvious Indian looks to post happy words and hang lanterns in the yard.

In the inner courtyard of the Mo Mansion, the leader Mo Te, who has retired at home, is now walking around the courtyard with an anxious expression on his face.

"Oh, why are you leaving? If you leave again, my eyes will be dazzled." Mrs. Mo, who was wearing colorful silk Hanfu made from the Song Dynasty, said with some discomfort as she looked at Mr. Mo walking around in front of him.

"Can I not be in a hurry when my daughter gets married??" Mr. Mo turned around, looked at Mrs. Mo who looked impatient and replied, "You are the mother of a child, are you in a hurry??" Mr. Mo looked at Mrs. Mo who looked satisfied. Mrs. Mo asked unhappily.

"What's the point of being anxious? I can't possibly marry them." After hearing this, Mrs. Mo rolled her eyes and replied to Mr. Mo.

"You..." After hearing Mrs. Mo's words, Master Mo, the former leader of Mote, pointed helplessly, unable to even say a word. (Leader Mote has changed his surname to Mo)
After all, he is getting old, and he no longer has the glory he once had.

"What's going on inside? Why did it take so long..." Mr. Mo kept looking towards the place where the wedding room was, "What if the angel wedding team comes and it hasn't been done yet!!" Mo Mo said. The master was walking around in the yard, with cold sweat on his forehead, which showed how he was feeling at this moment.

Mr. Mo even feels that the current situation is more anxious than the confrontation between him and Lant two years ago.

That time it was the fate of the tribe, and he made the right choice, turning the original Mote tribe into the prosperous town of Mote.

But today his two daughters are getting married, which is also a fork in the road. If it is done well, in the next few decades, a hundred years of wealth will be there. If it is not done well, it may be wiped out in one step.

Looking at the history of China's harem during this period, Mr. Mo understood one thing.

That is the danger of Tianjia. It is like a thunderstorm and a rainstorm. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Of course, the most dangerous place is also the most profitable place. Once it is done, their family will become relatives of the emperor in the future. If not, they can also get a bigger title. It is best to change the inheritance to a hereditary one. (The Mo family is a fifth-generation baron family and can only be passed down to five generations)
So since the past few days, Mr. Mo has not had a good night's sleep. Every day, he feels anxious and uneasy, and sometimes excited.

In fact, it is a transition between misfortune and prosperity.

And today is the beginning of it all, and the beginning of their Mo family in Monte Town. Whether it is a swan soaring into the sky or a toad in the farmland, today is the starting point.

"This woman can't dress up so fast. If it's so fast, what else are you men looking at? Could it be that it's like you men said, it depends on people's hearts..." Mrs. Mo looked at Mo Mo, who was going back and forth, spinning non-stop. Master, he cursed angrily.

"You..." Mr. Mo was really troubled by Mrs. Mo, so he simply turned around and looked in the direction of the wedding room with anxious eyes.

Mrs. Mo on the side didn't care. In her opinion, the marriage was decided two years ago, and it was too late to get married today.

squeak……

"Here we come..." As the wedding room opened, first several female officials and makeup artists from the palace ran out, and then two girls wearing phoenix embroidered robes and four-phoenix crowns came out. . (The queen of the Han Dynasty is Jiufeng, and the others are all Four Phoenixes)

"Old Mr. Tai, it's better to hurry up and prepare to lead the angel wedding team. It's time to come." The female official in the palace looked at the gold-plated pocket watch, which showed that it was almost twelve o'clock, and ordered Master Mo.

"Hey...yes, yes." Upon hearing this, Mr. Mo quickly turned his eyes away from the two daughters whom he did not recognize.

And just when Mr. Mo was telling his servants to prepare firecrackers and rejoice, a few hundred meters outside Mo's house, a group of cavalry riding tall horses, wearing black Guards uniforms and long military boots, were escorting the wedding carriage. Walk outside Mo Mansion. (Xi Chai, also known as the golden carriage)

Crackling... crackling...

Whoosh...

As soon as the team arrived in front of Mo Mansion, firecrackers went off and fireworks appeared in the sky, although they couldn't be seen at all because it was daytime and noon.

But this is etiquette, whether you can see it or not, just have it.

Didi...tick...

With the joy blowing, the two brides got into the golden carriage, which was the wedding carriage this time.

This golden carriage was specially prepared by the Han royal family for the wedding of King Han. This carriage alone is worth 50 Chinese yuan in gold of equal weight. If it were not gold-plated, the price might be even higher.

As the joyful motorcade started, the entire wedding team also headed towards Xijing City, which was more than ten miles away.

Outside the gate of Mo Mansion, Mr. Mo looked at the team that had gone away and kept smoking his dry cigarette. There was an indescribable loneliness and expectation in his cloudy eyes, as if the end of an era and the beginning of another era. Turn on...

The era of tribes has long ended, and the era of America belonging to Han is about to come.

.............................................

Xijing City, Xijing City at this moment has completely turned into a sea of ​​celebration.

His Majesty the King of Han ordered that the whole city would have a three-day holiday, and all elderly people over 50 years old and children under ten years old could receive a wedding gift worth five Chinese dollars.

In fact, the total amount of money spent was less than 50, mainly on children. After all, in this era, the global average age is 40 to [-] years old, and the current average life span in Han is slightly higher than this, reaching [-] years old. Next year, as for going higher, unless medical technology advances and antibiotics and everything else come out, it will be impossible.

Even if there is a Chinese version of barefoot doctors, medical technology is still a huge challenge.

Therefore, medical technology is very important, which is why Liu Peng established the Ministry of Health. The first is to popularize basic medical care, and the second is to invest in the research and development of medical technology and medical-related equipment. Just one operation is enough for the Han Ministry of Health. Busy work.

"I'm coming……"

"It's really coming..."

"let me see……"

Both sides of Xijing City's Central Street were filled with crowds of onlookers, including Chinese, honorary Chinese, Indians and whites. Everyone looked at the approaching convoy with joy.At this moment, they are all from Xijing, they are all Han people, and they are all Han people! !
Everyone looked towards the golden carriage in the middle of the team, hoping to see the appearance of the people inside.

Unfortunately, they could only see the golden gold and nothing else.

But even so, there were still many people watching with pleasure. Even after that, some cake shops and snack shops launched golden carriage cakes, snacks and other desserts, which were all the rage in Xijing City and were in short supply.

And when the motorcade entered the palace, the wedding officially began.

The palace was full of busy maids and guards, all carrying plates and walking around.

They all had only one direction, Chongde Hall, the designated hall for the Han King's wedding.

In the Chongde Hall, on both sides of the main hall, there were all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, as well as dignitaries, relatives of the emperor and the country.

Everyone has a table in front of them and a steady stream of delicious dishes.

(National celebrations in Han Dynasty all have a meal-sharing system)
"His Majesty the King of Han has arrived...all the ministers greet him..."

As the chief of ceremonies sang and shouted, everyone began to strategize respectfully, clasping their fists and bending down to salute.

"The Supreme King has arrived..."

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

As congratulations were sung, everyone present did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Ping Shen..." Liu Peng stood in the center in front of the Golden Palace, holding his hands slightly and commanded.

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

Everyone present thanked Liu Peng.

Upon seeing this, Liu Peng sat on his throne as King of Han, and on either side of Liu Peng were Liu Yan and Queen Mother An.

"Your Majesty, Yan Jun, would like to present a bronze bull to congratulate His Majesty on his wedding." Yan Jun, the newly appointed governor of Jiuyuan Province, stepped forward to congratulate Liu Peng. (The head of a province in the Han Dynasty is called the governor)

"Yan Qing is interested!!" After hearing this, Liu Peng nodded to Yan Jun and said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty Lu Lin, I would like to send you a map of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, to congratulate your majesty and your two empresses on their eternal union..." Lu Lin, the governor of Hanzhou Province, took out a map of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away and congratulated Liu Peng.

"Oh, spread it out and take a look..." When Liu Peng heard that it was a map of mountains and rivers, he immediately became interested and ordered Lu Lin.

"Yes..." After Lu Lin heard this, he immediately asked the palace guards who were preparing to unfold the seven or eight meter long map of mountains and rivers.

If Chongde Hall were not large enough and spacious enough, it would not be possible to replace it with a smaller palace.

"Oh...this is Xijing." Liu Peng saw at a glance the city divided into four regions in the center of the Jiangshan map.

"This is Jinshan..." Liu Peng pointed to a city near the sea with a port and a large number of merchant ships painted on it. "This should be Beimen and Longcheng..." Liu Peng pointed to two other Hanzhou provinces. The city said that a large number of cotton fields were planted in the Beimen City area.

"This is Yunzhong and Tongshan..." Liu Peng looked at the large number of metal blocks and the location of the mining trucks, which is the location of Jiuyuan Province, and said, "This is Haizhou..." Liu Peng pointed at Guangling Province. The capital city introduced. (Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa in original time and space)
"These two are Hongshan and Nanmen." Liu Peng said, looking at the two cities below Hanzhou Province. "This is the newly established Shazhou City." Liu Peng said, pointing to a port city near the sea in the middle of Xihai Province. (Later Port of Tortugas, Baja California)
"This should be Changping..." Liu Peng set his sights on Changping, the only city in the desert, which was taken from the ancient Zhao Kingdom. (later Las Vegas, Nevada)

"This is Luling and Jiangling..." Liu Peng said looking at the two cities in Lingnan Province next to Guangling Province. (Later Nogales and Obregon)
"Going up further is Oregon..." Liu Peng focused on the huge vacuum area at the top. In this territory, mountains, glaciers, plains, everything you can think of, is here, and it is enough. At 74 square kilometers, it is almost the size of France plus England. (Of course, it was later generations who lost Ireland and the colonial independence of Little England)

But when he saw the upper part of his body, Liu Peng's eyes shrank obviously.

It's not that the Han Dynasty didn't want this land, but that the British didn't want it. The original plan was to spend 300 million pounds, a total of 800 million Chinese dollars, to capture the entire Oregon area. However, things didn't work out. The conversation was going well, but for some reason, we changed our minds.

It didn't matter if it changed. From then on, the British regarded the upper part, including the most valuable part of Vancouver Island, as a forbidden area. No matter how the Han Dynasty raised the price, the British would not let go.

Even during the negotiation process, Wan Fang once asked the British Foreign Secretary:

"Your Excellency, Minister, I really don't understand why you want to keep that area. What's there? It's not even as good as the other half of Oregon you are willing to sell to us. It's close to Canada and the weather is cold...except for the coastal areas, I can't think of anything else. , What use is he to you?" Wan Fang asked the British Foreign Secretary with a puzzled look.

At that time, Wan Fang really didn't understand. You were willing to sell, so why not sell completely? ?

In this way, everyone is happy, but unlike now, they are so fussy about editing divisions.

But the British Foreign Secretary responded to Wan Fang: "Mr. Minister, I understand your feelings. Oregon is a piece of cake. You are willing to spend 300 million pounds to buy this cake. This is good and proves that this cake is valuable." …But that’s exactly what it is, we British people also want to have a taste of this cake shop.”

The British Foreign Secretary responded ambiguously to Wan Fang.

One sentence blocked Wan Fang's heart from continuing.

Liu Peng, who came back to his senses, looked at the scene in front of him. Even though he felt a little regretful about being in Oregon, he was still very satisfied in his heart.

"Return the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, all the nobles should take a look at it. This is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my great man. It is the country that my great man, many heroes have exchanged for their lives and blood..." Liu Peng stood in front of the main hall and looked at the people on both sides. said the princes and ministers.

"Everyone, please remember that the blood of a hero must not be spared in vain, and the country must not be lost..." Liu Peng said with a serious expression.

"Please remember..."

Everyone present bowed to Liu Peng.

"Shan..." Liu Peng saw this and nodded, "Have a banquet..." Liu Peng returned to his seat and said loudly.

Soon, the music was loud and clear, and the dancers in the palace, dressed in long-sleeved Hanfu from the Warring States period, danced gracefully, attracting everyone's attention.

...............

At night, Liu Peng walked on the road to the harem, and in this newly renovated palace complex, which Liu Peng named Changle Palace, there were new kerosene lamps everywhere. The light of the kerosene lamps transformed the entire Changle Palace. It's like daylight.

It makes people feel that there is such a thing as kerosene in the creation of heaven and earth.

squeak……

Liu Peng pushed open the door and entered, then waved to the ladies to go down.

On the dragon bed, two girls wearing red headscarves and wedding dresses sat.

Liu Peng picked up the golden stick, lifted his hijab, and looked at the two shy beauties in front of him.

"Who are Mo Ting and Mo Yun??" Liu Peng looked at the two girls with different heights. In fact, he had already guessed in his heart, but he just had to tease them.

"Your Majesty, I am Mo Ting..." The tall eldest Mo Ting, who was named Shu Fei, looked at Liu Peng and replied.

"Your Majesty, I am Mo Yun..." The youngest one lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Two beloved concubines, what should we do now?" Liu Peng looked at the two women playfully and said.

Mo Ting and Mo Yun were stunned for a moment, then blushed.

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty, slow down..."

　Please order all of them and give me a reward. This book is really difficult.
