PS: The first update arrives, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes and recommended tickets!

The home visit of the imperial crown prince Long Hua ended quickly, and his homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang Mengke, was completely stunned after learning Long Yufei's identity, and he didn't know what to say what he was going to say. After all, it was the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince standing in front of her. Arguably the most powerful person in the entire country. Come to think of it, if the average person learns that his student is actually the crown prince of the empire, it is estimated that this will be the case! More than 2,000 years of feudal society made the common people of the empire deeply awe of the royal family in their hearts. If the Manchus had not been overthrown, they would still have to kowtow when they saw the emperor, empress, and crown prince.

In the end, Mr. Zhang Mengke quickly said goodbye. Even if Long Yufei proposed to invite her to dinner, she didn't agree. Her heart was pounding, and if she had left earlier, she might have fainted. Her student was actually the crown prince, and she also went to the crown prince's home for a home visit, which made her very excited. After all, the Emperor Long Yufei now has a high reputation in the country, and he is completely like a god. Ordinary people, where can they have the opportunity to meet the emperor himself!

Just like when the leaders of the Goryeo Kingdom in later generations inspected the place, didn't those people cry a lot?

Although the teacher's home visit ended in such a way, Long Yufei was still very concerned about the purpose of this home visit. He also learned about the situation from the crown prince Longhua. So, he deliberately took half an hour out of his time. An education was carried out for Longhua. In response to Longhua's unsociable problem, he had some exchanges with Longhua. Long Hua was reluctant to play with other children, simply because he felt that children of the same age were too naïve. It's all mature at all, and he really doesn't want to play with them. However, Long Yufei asked him to contact as many children as possible, play with them, and be closer to the lives of ordinary people. Otherwise, he will have to be sent to a junior military school.

The Imperial Junior Military Academy, mainly adopted orphans who had lost their parents. The state will pay for them, to train them. When they grow up, they will also serve in the military. Or to serve in the intelligence services. This kind of person who has been cultivated since childhood and has been brainwashed and educated is extremely loyal to the emperor and the country. This is too. Emperor Long Yu flew an important means of controlling the army.

Crown Prince Long Hua didn't want to go to the junior military academy. So I had to promise to have more contact with my friends of the same age. He knew how the junior military academy cultivated people, almost all of them were brainwashing education, and he didn't want to go there.

At the request of Long Yufei, Longhua's homeroom teacher Zhang Mengke did not disclose Longhua's identity. It's just that when dealing with Longhua, he was more cautious, and even had some awe. After all, Long Hua is the crown prince of the empire. The future Emperor of the Empire!

Mexico was originally a Spanish colony. However, in 1810. An independence war broke out in Mexico against Spanish colonial rule. At about the same time, wars of independence broke out in North, Central and South America against the Kingdom of Spain. This made the Kingdom of Spain, which had already begun to decline in national strength, unable to resist. After more than a decade of war, Mexico finally gained its independence and established a republic. Although the political situation in the country later changed, the Mexican bourgeoisie gained power and restored the monarchy. Overall, however, Mexico had broken away from Spanish colonial rule.

However, Mexico is not a powerful country in North America. Their population is less than half that of their neighbor the United States, and their industrial output is much lower than that of the United States. As for military strength, it is even less of an adversary to the United States. However, Mexico still has a large territory. It's the equivalent of a young man walking in the middle of the city with gold in his arms. His neighbor, the United States, has long coveted the vast territory of Mexico. When Mexico was a Spanish colony, they didn't dare to be too arrogant. After Mexico became an independent country, the Americans began to attack Mexico. Mexico is militarily weak, and despite constant struggle, it is no match for the Americans.

By September, Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, had been occupied by the Americans. Mexican President Mariano. Paredes fell because of his incompetence during the war, and the new president, José. Mariano. Morality. Salas also stepped down after only five months in office. Now it is the President of the Liberal Faction who came from Valentine. Gomez. Farias is leading the whole country. However, with the fall of large swaths of the country, Valentine. Gomez. President Farias' administration does not seem to last long. It can be said that Mexico's politics are in chaos right now. The defeat of the war, the pressure of the Americans, and the disappointment of the common people prevented both the liberal and conservative factions in Mexico from staying in power for long. This further weakened Mexico's strength, making it even more difficult for them to defend themselves against the Americans. After all, the two factions are constantly rotating, and their main energy is focused on internal friction, where is the extra energy to fight the Americans? If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Mexico submits to the United States!

On February 12, 1847, Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, summoned Adalus, the Mexican Minister to China. It has not been a few years since Mexico and the Chinese Empire established diplomatic relations, and Mexico is already a small country and does not have many trade ties with the Chinese Empire, so the relationship between the two countries is very flat. In the past few years since Minister Adalus took office, he has only seen the emperor once, and that was when he first took office, he was received by the emperor Long Yufei, and everyone just said some scenes. As for the Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao, he has only met him a few times at the regular reception of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every year. It can be said that the Mexican minister to China is simply an insignificant position. It's often the people who don't get along in Mexican politics who don't get the hang of it here.

For the sudden summons of the Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao, Minister Adalus was a little surprised. Now Mexico is in turmoil, and the foreign minister of such a huge country as the Chinese Empire suddenly summoned him, what is this for? Minister Adalus was a little unsure.

However, Minister Adalus quickly changed into his dress and rode to the Imperial Foreign Office in the legation's dilapidated carriage. Because the country was in the war, the funds of their legation were also repeatedly reduced, and most of the legation staff, including him, could only eat the cheapest bread and vegetables, and as for meat, it had not been eaten for a long time. It can be said that the Mexican Legation in China is definitely the worst among the many embassies in China!

At half past nine in the morning, led by the secretary of the Imperial Foreign Ministry, Minister Adalus entered the office of the Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, good morning!" After seeing Lin Zihao, Minister Adalus was very respectful. Although many Westerners looked down on the Chinese Empire, as a minister to China, he knew the strength of the country. The Chinese Empire, like Mexico, was at war, and was at war with two great powers at the same time. However, the shape of war is completely different from that of Mexico. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was on the verge of being destroyed by the Chinese Empire, and even Russia, which claimed to be the hegemon of Europe, suffered heavy losses under the blows of the Chinese Empire. Such a record made Minister Adalus very envious. If Mexico had an army like the Imperial Chinese Army, where would the Americans dare to invade them?

"Your Excellency, good morning, please be seated!" Lin Zihao's face was full of smiles, making people feel as if the warm spring breeze had arrived in advance. Lin Zihao's enthusiasm flattered Minister Adalus.

After the secretary withdrew from the office, Lin Zihao had no extra nonsense and began to enter the whole.

"Your Excellency, we know that Mexico has been subjected to a shameless invasion by the Americans since last year. We are deeply sympathetic to what has happened to Mexico. Like Mexico, the empire suffered a shameless invasion by the Russians last year, and we are now fighting the Russians! We believe that although the Russians are strong, their shameless attempts will be crushed! Lin Zihao said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. I believe that the Chinese Empire will definitely defeat the Russians! Minister Adalus said. However, he is pessimistic about Mexico's future. Although the power of the United States is far from being comparable to that of a large country like Russia. However, it is not something that Mexicans will be able to resist. Now that Mexico has even fallen to the capital, how long will they be able to resist?

"Your Excellency, as a country that has also been invaded, the Emperor is very sympathetic to the plight of Mexico. His Majesty the Emperor decided to aid Mexico in the war against the United States. However, we don't know what Mexico lacks right now? Lin Zihao said.

"Ahh Minister Adalus was completely stunned, is this pie in the sky? Such a good thing actually fell on the head of Mexico. The fact that the Chinese Empire offered to come to Mexico's aid was completely beyond his resemblance.

"However, Your Excellency, after all, we are also in the midst of a war now, and in order not to overly provoke the United States, our assistance to Mexico can only be carried out in secret!" Lin Zihao continued.

Minister Adalus nodded again and again, as long as he can get benefits, secret assistance will be secret assistance! (To be continued......)
