At dawn, Zhang Meng's fleet entered the port of Nuku'alofa without any hindrance. The guards at the port were less than fifty troops, and before they could even distinguish between friend and foe, they were disarmed by the officers and men of the Zhang family who disembarked from the transport ship.

Zhang's army immediately attacked the city of Nuku'alofa in three directions, all the way to the military camp in the northeast of the city, and controlled the about 200 guards of the Aprado royal family there. The second route goes to the police station in the city center, the Tongan Parliament, the city government, and various government agencies, with the core mission of arresting members of the Aprado family. The third route goes directly to the royal palace and aristocratic quarters in the western part of the city, where you take control of King Modi of Aprado and his family, family members, and the Tongan nobles who support him.

Modi didn't expect Zhang Meng to be interested in Tonga at all, he only thought that Zhang Meng was just living here temporarily, after all, Tonga has no resources, is extremely poor, and has to rely on British food aid every year to survive, such a barren land should obviously not be fat in Zhang Meng's eyes.

But he never thought that what Zhang Meng needed was just a bigger foothold, and he had greater ambitions. He didn't care how poor Tonga was, he just wanted a big enough foothold, because he and his men had unanimously decided to build a new country here.

Since it is a completely new country, it is clear that Vava'u Island is too small.

Modi knew that he was no match for Zhang Meng, so when he learned that Zhang Meng's troops were surrounding his palace, he voluntarily surrendered.

However, he secretly sent a confidant to escape and sail to Fiji to ask the British for help.

Now only the British can help him.

Unfortunately, Modi's men were unable to meet Constance in Fiji, and were instead detained by Constin's British soldiers and handed over to Zhang Meng.

"I want to see Zhang Meng!"

Modi roared in prison, but there was endless darkness waiting for him, and no one even bothered him.

Zhang Meng did not go to see Modi, but appeared on the list for the first time.

For the people of Tonga, whether it is the Taofa Ahao family in the past or the current Aprado family, they are all people who enslave them from above. In Tonga, the king rules everything. The king distributed the land and all the means of production to about thirty or so noble families, who in turn leased the land and means of production to the common people of Tonga.

In Tonga, the common people do not have the right to participate in politics, and the king and aristocratic families are hereditary, so they will not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.

Although Zhang Meng and his subordinates became citizens of Tonga with the help of the new laws of the Aprado family, if they wanted to appease the Tongans, they had to take the most fundamental means to touch the souls of the Tongans - land will always be the most important concern of the common people.

Zhang Meng promised to distribute all the land and property of the king and nobles to the people, and that all Tongans who supported Zhang Meng would get their own buildings and enough jobs to support their families, and that there would be no more poverty and disease, and that Zhang Meng would build public schools, so that every Tongan had the right to go to school and have the right to be admitted to the national civil service.

The people of Tonga have heard about what happened on Vava'u Island, and their hearts are full of longing. I was still afraid that a group of Chinese would seize power, and I was worried that the Chinese would kill all the aborigines on the island like Westerners. However, after seeing the ann min's proclamation, the fear in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by incomparable joy and excitement.

The streets erupted in singing and dancing, and Tongans stepped out of their huts to celebrate their freedom and right to be the masters.

Of course, there must be a very small number of Tongans who oppose Zhang Meng. However, these people were quickly charged with various crimes and disappeared.

Tonga has a population of only a few tens of thousands, Zhang Meng's army alone has more than 60,000 people, and there are more than 50,000 workers and technicians who are engaged in the construction of urban infrastructure and military facilities.

After preliminary verification, there are more than 300,000 Chinese under Zhang Meng's rule, although the large-scale urban planning of Vava'u Island is underway, but it takes time for high-rise buildings to be built, and Zhang Meng's planned urban system cannot build temporary housing, so the place where the population can be temporarily resettled on Vava'u Island is very tight, Zhang Meng also occupied the entire Tonga in advance for this reason, and he wanted to wait for a while.

However, since it has been done, Zhang Meng will not regret it, and after taking over the entire Tongan regime, the formation of a new government is immediately on the agenda.

Because Tonga is so small, so small that the government of a country is like the town government of a small town in the country, the appointment of a hundred or so people can complete the operation of the whole country.

On the issue of the name of the country, it is obvious that the Chinese ethnic group currently accounts for the majority, so the name of Tonga can no longer be used. After everyone's unanimous democratic vote, the name of the country was finally determined to be the Tang Empire, symbolizing the reappearance of the Tang Dynasty and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The national flag is the original Zhangjiajun military flag designed by Zhang Meng, a bright silver eagle with a metallic line feeling, grabbing the earth, and the pattern of wings opening to pre-fly, inspired by the flag pattern of the Earth Coalition Government in a sci-fi blockbuster called Galaxy Troopers that Zhang Meng has seen.

The capital was located in Nuku'alofa, but the name was changed to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The other two main islands, Vava'u Island renamed Yanjing, Hapai Main Island renamed Jinling, and Ava Island near Chang'an renamed Daxing, are now the only four ancient city names in the Tang Empire.

Since the Tang Empire has been determined, it is naturally a constitutional monarchy.

The Tang Empire naturally had its own constitution and laws, but the formulation of new constitutions and laws was too large and required too many people, so Zhang Meng temporarily used the original Tongan laws, and at the same time ordered people to directly copy the British constitution and laws to formulate the constitution and laws of the Tang Empire.

However, his subordinates believed that copying the British constitution would make the international community laugh, and since it was to reproduce the Tang Dynasty, it had to have its own characteristics.

But Zhang Meng was too lazy, and his mind was focused on the imminent economic crisis in the United States, so he canceled and copied the British constitution and laws and changed them to the American constitution and laws, and at the same time changed the name of the state power organ of the Tang Empire, and directly restored the three provinces and six ministries system of the Tang Dynasty.

"Our Datang three-province and six-ministry system is the ancestor of the separation of powers in the United States, so we are not copying others. At the same time, we are a constitutional monarchy, so neither the British nor the Americans can say anything about us. ”

Well, Zhang Meng made sophistry like this, and his subordinates had nothing to say.

As a result, the original legislative, judicial, and administrative powers were replaced with names that highlighted the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. The Parliament, the highest body in the province, consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which can veto laws passed by the prime minister by a two-thirds majority, and officials appointed by the prime minister of the ministry of justice must be approved by the ministry of justice. The Supreme Court of the Supreme Court, the highest judicial body, can declare the Prime Minister's decree unconstitutional, and can declare the laws passed by the Chung Shu Provincial Assembly unconstitutional. Shangshu Province represents the largest administrative structure, with the highest bodies being the Cabinet of Ministers' Office and the Responsible Cabinet. The Prime Minister can veto laws passed by the Nakashu Provincial Assembly and appoint the top judges and ministers of the judicial branch of the Ministry.

The army was independent of the three powers, under the direct command of the emperor, and had a separate military tribunal and executive committee.

In short, although the separation of powers has been changed to a three-province system, it is still a relationship of mutual checks and balances between the rights of the three, so as to avoid excessive concentration of power in one department and bring about dictatorship.

Of course, the three-province system is only in the theoretical stage, and in fact, the current Tang Empire cannot be effectively implemented, because at this stage, Zhang Meng has combined military and political power, and all the six departments of the three provinces have to obey Zhang Meng's orders.

And Zhang Meng also knew in his heart that any newly established country must have a leader with centralized power, and only in this way can it ensure that the new country is based on the forest of shijie. When everything was on the right track in the new country, Zhang Meng gradually delegated power, and finally realized a true constitutional monarchy and democratic system.

However, when the final nomination of the emperor of the Tang Empire was made, when everyone chose Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng made an astonishing decision.

Zhang Meng gave up being the emperor, but asked his father Zhang Xinhai to come over and be the founding emperor of the Tang Empire.

Zhang Meng's decision was unexpected by everyone, but it was reasonable, everyone thought that Zhang Meng's filial piety made his father Zhang Xinhai the emperor.

It didn't seem to be a conflict with Zhang Meng coming to be the emperor in person, so everyone was just surprised, but they all agreed.

After all, everyone is constrained by traditional thinking, and with Lao Tzu here, how dare a son proclaim himself emperor.

Only Zhang Meng understood in his heart that he was doing this purely for another purpose. Because he thinks that if he becomes emperor, then he will directly face the international community and public opinion. Zhang Meng didn't want the international community to pay too much attention to him, because then many things would be restricted. At present, Zhang Meng still has a lot of things to do, and when he becomes the emperor, he will be limited to a certain extent, and he thinks that it may be better for him to operate everything behind the scenes at present, so that Zhang Xinhai can block the attention of the international community in the front desk, so that he will be able to do everything with ease.

Of course, let Zhang Xinhai serve as the emperor Zhang Meng is also very relieved, at the moment he is still Zhang Xinhai's son, if one day Zhang Xinhai knows the truth, anyway, all the real power of the Tang Empire is in Zhang Meng's hands, Zhang Meng can stand up to Zhang Xinhai at any time, he is just a shield for Zhang Meng.

After the meeting was decided, Zhang Meng immediately called Zhang Wei and asked her to return to China and take her parents to Chang'an.

When Zhang Xinhai got off the special plane and set foot on the land of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, he knew the truth, and saw that his baby son had done something earth-shattering, and the old man was immediately angry and funny.

The angry thing is that Zhang Meng did the earth-shattering big thing of founding the country without him, and the laughing thing is that he actually built the country on a poor and white desert island, which is like playing at home.

However, when he learned that Zhang Meng wanted him to be the emperor of the Tang Empire, the old man couldn't help but shed tears.

For Zhang Xinhai, he also hoped to build a new civilized country like the American ancestors on the Mayflower, and Sun Yat-sen, whom he followed, failed, and this reluctance led him to accept Zhang Meng's request.

Seeing her father's excited appearance, Zhang Wei said to Zhang Meng very gratefully: "Xiexie you!" Let my father fulfill his dream! ”

Zhang Meng just smiled slightly, maybe he had already regarded them as his real family members in his heart.
