When the news of Britain's defeat spread across Europe, the world was shocked. The French gloated on the side of the sea, mocking Britain for its inwisdom and incompetence, while Russia began to confront the great power bordering itself in the Far East, each with its own ideas.

When the Treaty of Nanking reached London, there was an uproar in Britain: "This is a humiliating agreement, and the incompetent prime minister must step down." Someone had to step up, and the Prime Minister, Viscount Melbourne, could only step down even if he had a good relationship with the Queen, and then Sir Robert Peel of the Conservative Party appointed him as Prime Minister to form a new cabinet.

And when the news of the victory was published in the domestic newspapers, the domestic reaction was not enthusiastic, and except for some citizens who understood the world situation, the common people still lived their own lives. But how can it be said that his country has won the war and occupied a lot of land, and many merchants are happy about it-

With the establishment of the administrative and judicial system and government organization in northern India, the Chinese Empire officially established the North India Province and ** Province in the region to form the Tibet-India Military Region, and the newly established Burma Province was merged into the Southwest Military Region, and the 34th and 35th Armies were stationed in Burma and North India. At the same time, the province of Hawaii was established and the Pacific Military District was established.

Now Gorkha is Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan as countries within China's borders, and Bangladesh is an important colonial power of the empire in India.

With the victory of the war and the signing of the treaty, Lin Hong's military region and army in China also began to be reintegrated and adjusted. The North China Military Region has a total of nine divisions of the 1st, 12th, and 13th armies, plus three brigades of the Imperial Instructor and the newly formed Praetorian Guard, with a total establishment of 153,000. The Northeast Military Region is under the jurisdiction of the 2nd, 14th, and 15th armies. The Northwest Military Region is under the jurisdiction of the 3rd, 16th, and 17th armies. The Central Plains Military Region has jurisdiction over the Fourth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Armies. The Southern Military Region is under the jurisdiction of the Fifth, Twentieth, and Twenty-first Armies. The Southeast Military Region has jurisdiction over the Sixth, 22nd, and 23rd Armies. The Southwest Military Region has jurisdiction over the Seventh, 24th, 25th, and 32nd Armies. The Tibet-Burma Military Region has jurisdiction over the 8th, 26th, and 27th armies, of which the 26th Army has four divisions, the 99th, 76th, 77th, and 78th, and the rest are three divisions. The Lanfang Military Region has a total of 60,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the Malacca Regiment in Singapore, with a total of 60,000 troops under the jurisdiction of 100, 111, 112 and 113, and the 9th Army and 28th Army stationed in Dong Manlu and Pontianak. The Pacific Military District Command is located in Hawaii Province and has jurisdiction over the Ninth Army and the Twenty-ninth Army.

So far, the total domestic army has about 1.236 million troops, distributed in the territory of 13.81 million square kilometers of the empire, plus the colonies in East Africa and North America controlled by the empire and the islands of the Pacific Ocean, Lanfang and other fragmentary lands, adding up to the actual colonies and protectorates under the control of the Chinese Empire now The area of colonies and protectorates under the actual control of the Chinese Empire is nearly 10.53 million square kilometers (the colonies in East Africa include present-day Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritnia, Uganda, northern Kenya and southern Sudan, Of course, the Sudanese under the control of the Empire today were the lands east of the Nile River in present-day South Sudan. ）。

The Chinese Empire is the second largest country in the world in terms of colony area at this time, especially the Pacific Empire occupies a large number, and most of the entire Pacific Ocean can be said to be under the control of the Chinese Empire. The whole world entered the craziest colonial era for some time after the end of the Sino-British War.

In addition, in order to speed up the construction of the colony, Lin Hong established the North American Colonial Military Region in North America, which had three divisions under its jurisdiction: the 11th, 30th, and 31st armies and the Indian servant army. The East African Colonial Military Region was established in the colonies of East Africa, under the jurisdiction of the 32nd Army and the East African Servant Army. The army of all the colonies of the empire plus the servant army totaled about 250,000, and these troops were temporarily under the administration of the governors of the colonies because of the relationship of communication, and of course the movement of troops had to be reported to the country in advance or after the fact.

On the naval side, in addition to the North, South and Pacific navies, the Indian Ocean Navy was established in Yangon, Burma, with the East African Fleet and the Indian Fleet under its control.

When the news of the victory of the Chinese Empire's Nanyang Fleet reached China, Lin Hong once again did something in China that everyone did not expect, he carried forward the spirit of plagiarism against future generations in the outer harbor of Shanghai, the new financial center of the Chinese Empire, and erected a new Statue of Liberty (the one for the United States, of course). At this time, Shanghai already had the world's tallest building, the Imperial Tower (the tallest at the time). This is a statue of Liberty based on Lin Hong's queen Liu Xiaoyu, also based on Greek mythology, but, unlike what later generations are familiar with, this time Lin Hong made the goddess statue have an extra sword around her waist.

This bronze alloy Lady Liberty is dressed in ancient Greek style (a reference to ancient Roman robes), wears a radiant crown on her head, and seven pointed rays symbolize the seven continents of the world; The Statue of Liberty is 10.6 meters wide at the waist, 91 centimeters wide at the mouth, holding a torch symbolizing freedom in its right hand, which is 12.8 meters long, 12 people can stand on the edge of the torch, and the left hand holds a legal book engraved with the words "Imperial Constitution" on the cover, symbolizing the constitutional spirit of the country; The sword hanging from his waist symbolizes the powerful military power of the Ming Dynasty and protects his people at all times; Beneath his feet are shattered handcuffs, shackles and chains, symbolizing the freedom from tyranny and the quest for freedom. And its posture is like an ancient Greek beauty, making people feel intimate and natural, when the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, the statue of the god is bathed in the soft skylight, the whole statue of the goddess is like a pale blue jade carving.

On the base of the statue of the goddess, Lin Hong's handwritten letter is engraved, "Let those who have gone through a long journey and are tired because they are eager to breathe the air of freedom and yearn for the temple of science snuggle up to each other and throw themselves into my arms!" I stand in the east of the world, hold high the lamp of freedom, and welcome you! ”

Strange to say, when the Statue of Liberty, which was not favored by the Chinese people, was erected, the so-called God's people from the Western world actually regarded it as a symbol of this powerful country, and gave them a real sense of identity and belonging to the Chinese Empire! Later Western historians wrote when evaluating this event: "The erection of the Statue of Liberty in the East symbolizes that the ancient Oriental civilization is absorbing and accommodating the civilization from the West with a broad mind and a spirit of tolerance, and two different civilizations are blending in the ancient and mysterious land of the East as a symbol, which is a grand event in the history of world culture!" From this moment on, inspired by the Statue of Liberty, those who had suffered from the cruel oppression of the Church and longed for freedom and science, like gold diggers yearning for gold mines, rushed to the East, this mysterious land, to find the temple of their dreams! ”

Coupled with the victory of the Chinese Empire in the war against Britain, China has initially established its hegemonic position in the world, and relative to the European environment, the rich and powerful China has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the influx of a large number of talents and foreign capital has enabled the Chinese Empire to further achieve rapid development.

Egypt, Suez region.

Originally, the Treaty of Nanking stipulated that China and Britain jointly build the Suez Canal, but at this time Egypt was nominally part of the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and after negotiations between the three countries, China and Britain each ceded 5% of the shares to the Ottoman Empire, but then the French had to intervene again. After Napoleon's defeat, France wanted to re-establish the Second French Colonial Empire, but because its colonies in the Americas were lost to Britain, France focused on the East. The opening of the Suez Canal is even more significant for France. In order to curb China's expansion, Britain actively wooed France to join the Suez Canal project.

Historically, in 1854 and 1856, the French consul in Egypt, Viscount Ferdinand de Resseb, was granted a charter by the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Pasha Saidpasha. The Pasha authorized Reseb to set up a company and build a sea canal open to ships of all countries according to a plan drawn up by the Austrian engineer Aloisnegrelli. By leasing the land, the company can operate for 99 years from the opening of the canal.

However, now Lin Hong is only sure to get this canal, although he also agreed to allow France to join, but refused to give another share to France, so Britain had to unilaterally give another 5% of the shares to France. France compensated Britain for the interests of the colonies.

The central government of the Chinese Empire became the largest shareholder with 55% of the Suez Canal Company's shares, while Britain held 30%, France 5%, and Ottomans 10%. Of course, France must have been unhappy with its shareholding, and in the following years France found various excuses to buy the shares in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, knowing that by the end of the Crimean War France had obtained all the 10% shares of the Suez Canal Company in the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

At the beginning of 1842, China, Britain, France, and Austria formally signed the "Agreement on the Establishment of the Suez Canal Company by the Four Countries" and related matters and by-laws in Port Said, Egypt, and in mid-February, the Suez Canal Company was formally established.
