In 1789, the Tang Dynasty and Spain signed the Treaty of Orleans in Orleans, France, officially ending the half-year Tangxi War. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The main contents of the info peace treaty are as follows:

The Tang Republic and the Kingdom of Spain completely suspended the state of war and resumed normal diplomatic relations.

The Kingdom of Spain admitted that the war was irresponsible and provoked by the Spanish side, and took full responsibility for the war, and at the same time apologized to the Tang Republic.

The Republic of Datang withdrew its naval fleet from the coastal waters of Spain and lifted the shipping blockade against Spain, and at the same time, the Spanish military and civilian vessels seized by the Datang Navy will be returned to the seized ships after the shipowner pays the storage fee.

The sovereignty of the former Kingdom of Spain, which owned the roads of Isiana, New Spain, Panama, Cuba, and the Philippines, is owned by the Tang Republic, and the Kingdom of Spain recognizes them and agrees to waive all rights of recourse in the future.

Datang will allow Spaniards living in the former Louisiana, New Spain, Panama, Cuba, and the Philippines to leave these areas freely, and the Kingdom of Spain will still recognize the Spanish identity of these residents. At the same time, Datang will transfer a different number of Spanish immigrants to Spain, and the immigrants and the property rights owned by the Spanish government will not be recognized by the Datang government, and will be recovered by the Datang government. Spaniards who leave the Tang Dynasty can carry a certain amount of property, but they must be vetted by the Tang authorities.

The Kingdom of Spain paid 24 million Tang Yuan in war reparations to the Tang Dynasty.

The Covenant shall be effective immediately from the date of its signing.

……

Although the content of this peace treaty is not much, it is for Datang. It's a win-win situation. And for Spain. It's a complete lose-lose. Not only did they lose a large number of colonies, but they also had to pay the military expenses of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time deal with the mess of fleeing immigrants.

It should be noted that Datang's military expenditure in a normal war is about 140 million Tang Yuan, so after all, Datang frequently mobilizes three fleets, as many as 20 ships to participate in the war, mobilizes and dispatches more than 70,000 ground troops before and after, and the consumption of ammunition and other materials can be said to be innumerable. And the 24 million Tang Yuan cut out of Spain is not enough for a fraction of the Tang Dynasty's military spending. But it is basically impossible for Datang to get more money from Spain. Spain's economy was already in dire shape of the war. And the wealth accumulated by the Silver Empire back then was basically consumed by the luxurious life of the upper class. Since Spain and Datang are basically two countries of different eras, even if Spain pays 24 million Tang Yuan in compensation, it is already extremely difficult, and if Spain is asked to bear a total of 140 million Tang Yuan in military spending, Spain may be broken and broken, and it will be like this.

Therefore, in line with the idea of being able to figure out a little bit, the Datang Cabinet gave a figure of 24 million Tang Yuan after careful consideration, which is almost the limit that Spain can accept.

When this problem arises, the Tang people are also relatively helpless. Their wars were made entirely of steel and firepower, with powerful warships. With a well-equipped army, the consumption is not at all the same as that of Spain, which has just entered the modern army, so in fact, the cost of the war incurred by the Tang Dynasty is extremely high, so high that it may take as much as ten years of total financial revenue for any country to match this astronomical figure.

Of course, this figure is not too astronomical for Datang itself, whose fiscal revenue in 1788 was 7.1 billion Tang Yuan, which is already several times the total national income of all countries in the world. Ten years ago, Datang's military expenditure was more than 100 million Tang Yuan, and ten years later, Datang's military scale increased by about 1.5 times if the reserve force was calculated, plus the foreign army also increased significantly, as well as more sophisticated equipment, such as aircraft and new battleships, Datang's military expenditure was about 370 million Tang Yuan, which was actually lower than the proportion of that year.

By the fiscal year of 1789, due to the war and the need for a series of equipment replacements, Datang's military spending surged to 700 million Tang Yuan, reaching about 10 percent of the fiscal revenue of that year, which was rarely seen in Datang, because Datang did not need to maintain too large an army to ensure national defense and overseas interests.

If nothing else, Datang's military spending will increase in the next few years, but it will still be within a reasonable range. The reason for the increase is that Datang has taken a vast area, and naturally needs to garrison troops, and the current troops are obviously not enough. The Ministry of National Defense of Datang has rearranged the plan, from Florida in the east to Jiazhou in the west, Datang has been fully occupied, although there are not too many settlements and towns in the central region for the time being, but they will be added slowly in the future.

The New Mexico region, which had already established a number of colonies, officially became the Gwangju of the Tang Dynasty, and the scope was basically another region of Arizona and New Mexico, with the capital in Phoenix. In addition, the next development focus of Datang will be on Texas, which has become Datang's new home state, Texas. Datang plans to change the 11th Reserve Brigade into an active-duty unit and garrison Gwangju within three years, and the 12th Reserve Brigade to an active-duty garrison in Dezhou. At the same time, the Ninth Brigade of the Datang Army in Pengzhou will also be reloaded and organized into a mechanized brigade.

The 13th, 14th and 15th Reserve Brigades were transferred to active duty and were stationed in the District of Mexico, in Guadalajara, Mexico City and Panama City, respectively. The 14th Brigade will be created as a mechanized brigade. The District of Mexico will also establish the Central American Theater of Operations, to which the 13th to 15th Brigades will belong.

The 10th Brigade of the Datang Army was formed and stationed in the Philippines.

At the same time, the Marine Corps will also be expanded to a certain extent, from its original size to six Marine Corps now, with a total number of 7,000 personnel, which is equivalent to a heavy brigade of the Tang Army.

As a result, the ground forces alone have grown to 15 brigades of the army, including 6 heavy brigades, with a total strength of about 95,000 personnel. The reserve force has newly formed 21-25 brigades, with a scale of about 50,000 people.

As for the original Mexican Revolutionary Army, the Foreign Legion Command of the Ministry of Defense took over its command, and eventually this force will be organized into a force of more than 30,000 people with a total of six brigades, and the original Latin Regiment will be merged into the new Latin Corps. Since Mexico already belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the Foreign Corps Command has also changed its name to the Foreign Corps and the Special Corps Headquarters. The headquarters will be responsible for the Yamato Corps, the German Corps, the Latin Corps, the Siamese Corps, the Burmese Corps, the Wu Wei Army, and the Wu Yi Army, with a total size of nearly 200,000 troops.
