Chapter 201: Harvest after the war and marrying the queen

Just when Mexico was in a turbulent period of turmoil, the Tang Kingdom ushered in the 5th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the king's wedding celebration, coupled with the unprecedented victory of the expedition to Mexico, which can be described as three joys.

Throughout the golden autumn of October, the whole country of the Tang Kingdom was full of joy, and the celebration atmosphere was extremely strong.

The expedition to Mexico to the south captured a lot of money, tens of thousands of soldiers returned with a full load, thousands were rewarded, and dozens of officers with outstanding military achievements entered the aristocratic class, and only 6 viscounts were awarded.

His Majesty the King won an unprecedented victory, and the Tang royal family naturally seized the greatest advantage of it, opening up a million square kilometers of territory to the south and pocketing two of Mexico's three most productive silver mines.

This move will greatly enhance the economic power at the disposal of the royal family, stabilize its strong position in the field of resources, and ensure that the royal family has a firm grip on the inner treasury, which is independent of the kingdom's finances.

At all times

Money is an effective means of expanding wars and manipulating the economy, and only by controlling the money bags that can be used freely can Richard choose the most favorable time for the Tang Kingdom to attack decisively in the tide of the times.

For example; More than a decade later, an all-out war of unprecedented brutality could break out in North America.

On such a lively occasion, how can the Tang Kingdom be missing?

Richard was never willing to fight an unprepared war, and the accumulation of that war began now, related weapons and equipment, war materials, artillery ships, fine war horses and other reserves.

Of course, at least there is a lot of financial support, what kind of war is there to fight?

These two major silver mines

There are the world's largest silver producer, the Shocito silver mine, and the third Penaschito silver mine, which has a history of silver mining dating back to the Spanish colonial period in the 16th century and has a history of nearly 300 years.

The world's largest silver mine, Sausitto, produced 37.3 million ounces of silver in 1850. The production areas are distributed in Zacatecas and Chihuahua, which are the pillar industries of Mexico's economy, and are now all owned by the Tang royal family.

In the land of the eight northern provinces of Mexico newly occupied by the Tang Kingdom, it is rich in mineral resources, with world-leading coal, copper, zinc, lead, silver and other resource reserves, as well as rich oil resource reserves, which can be said to be a treasure trove of resources.

Spain's most important colony in the Americas was Mexico, which is still the world's largest producer of silver 150 years later.

Its rich reserves are extremely large, which is enough to give another wing to the economic take-off of the Tang Kingdom and help the economy rise in North America.

The Saucito Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in Mexico. This silver mine was discovered in the 16th century and alone accounts for one-third of the world's silver production, and most of Spain's silver dollars are minted here.

Crystalline silver was minted from Mexico's mines and minted into an inexhaustible supply of silver coins, which spread across the globe in tons and tons along trade routes.

With the opening of the Manchu Dynasty, countless Spanish silver coins, the Mexican Eagle Ocean and the Tang Kingdom Holy Ocean flowed into the land of Shenzhou, with considerable purchasing power.

In particular, the "Holy Ocean" of the Tang Kingdom, the obverse of its silver coin is the front crown icon of the monarch of the Tang Kingdom, so it is called "Holy Ocean".

Because of its silver texture, exquisite casting, full weight, and ease of use, it has become the most popular currency in the land of China.

Mexico's largest silver mine in the world, Shochito, produces 80 million tang of silver a year, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.2 million tang yuan paid to the Mexican government for more than 1 million square kilometers of land ceded to eight northern and central states.

Since the establishment of the Tang Kingdom

Two large-scale military expansions, one defeated the United States and ceded its six northern states, and the other defeated Mexico and ceded its northern and central eight states, greatly expanding the territory of the kingdom and achieving the prestige of the North American hegemon.

And it was these two large-scale war expansions that allowed the Tang Kingdom's national strength to step onto two new levels and become one of the two North American hegemons.

In the golden autumn of October

The biggest happy event is not the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the wedding of His Majesty the King, the grand marriage of Lin Zhen'er, the daughter of Lin Zexu, an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the queen, and the whole country will rest for ten days, amnesty for prisoners, and the whole country will celebrate together.

Lin Zexu is a pillar of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

He was a jinshi in the sixteenth year of Jiaqing, and his career successively served as the editor of Hanlin, the envoy of Jiangsu, the governor of Donghe to the governor of Jiangsu, and the governor of Huguang.

In 1839, Lin Zexu went to Guangdong as a minister to ban smoking, forced foreign opium traders to hand over opium, and destroyed the confiscated opium in Humen, which directly detonated the First Opium War.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Opium War, Lin Zexu was falsely accused and dismissed from his post and sent to Xinjiang.

This is a Hanchen who dares to be the first in the world, has a lofty national integrity in his heart, deeply hates the poisonous people of the country with opium, and vows to put an end to this cancer that kills the country and the nation.

Although his efforts were unsuccessful, he still deserves admiration and respect.

After the assignment to Xinjiang, Lin Zexu was not reactivated until 1845.

As the most enlightened Western-style minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Lin Zexu knew how significant it was for the Tang Kingdom to create a glorious Chinese dynasty in North America, which was a new dynasty that was truly dominated by the Chinese, with a unique new atmosphere, and provided a broad world for the Chinese to develop overseas.

Therefore, Lin Zexu tried his best to disagree and insisted on marrying his beloved daughter Lin Zhen'er to North America, and gave a handwritten plaque "Poetry Heirloom" to his son-in-law Richard, implying encouragement.

King Richard led his army back to his division after winning the Tang-Mo War, and after meeting the three daughters in person, he fell in love with Lin Zhen'er as the queen at a glance.

Not for anything else

Although Lin Zhen'er's appearance is not the most beautiful and charming, she has bright eyes and bright teeth, dignified atmosphere, especially born in the mansion of important ministers of the imperial court, and has an awe-inspiring and inviolable noble temperament that is particularly outstanding, as if the white lotus is out of the mud and not stained.

Richard especially respected her background, and Lin Zexu was a rare enlightened minister in the late Qing Dynasty, with the iron backbone and responsibility of the Chinese, and was really an example of a national hero.

It's a pity that Lin Zexu died of illness in Puning, Chaozhou, not long ago, due to his busy government affairs for many years and his frailty and illness, nicknamed "Wenzhong".

Due to the blockage of the news, the Tang Kingdom has not yet received this bad news, and is in the joy of celebrating the wedding of His Majesty the King.

While marrying Lin Zhen'er as the queen, the royal court accepted two princesses at the same time, both of whom are also from famous families in China and China, and their identity backgrounds are quite deep.

One is the Huang family of the scholarly family of Guangdong Province for generations, and the current daughter of Huang Chengen, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is called "Hui Niang", and she is as beautiful as water.

The other is the daughter of Wang Peng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, named "Wang Manzhi", who is a charming and lovely child, if judged only by her appearance, she is the best among the three daughters.

Huang Huiniang and Wang Manzhi were respectively accepted as the king's side concubines, ranking in the first rank, and they were officially called "side lady" in the royal court.

After the grand ceremony, it was the last day of October.

Inside the Maple Leaf Palace

Richard sat at the head of the throne, and beside him was the queen Lin Zhen'er, who was quite tall, with bright eyes and a dignified temperament, wearing a luxurious queen robe, floating out of the dust.

On the left and right sides sit the princesses Huang Huiniang and Wang Manzhi, respectively called "Mrs. Huiniang" and "Mrs. Manzhi", all of whom are the princesses on both sides of the Ming media who are marrying.

Further down

There are a group of beautiful concubines standing Yingying Yanyan, and the one with the grade is Qin Yufei, the wife of Zhengwupin Chenghui, who was promoted to be a concubine because she had a son.

Zheng Xiuniang, the wife of Zhengqipin Zhaoxun, was promoted to be a concubine because she had a son.

In addition, there are five people who are Zhengjiupin Fengyi, namely the blonde and blue-eyed Persian cat Selena and Lilith, who are the warm quilt maids of His Majesty the King when he was sitting in the Colorado Plateau, and they are well-behaved and lovely little desserts.

The other three are the three sisters of the Mexican stunner sisters, the eldest sister Elsa, the second sister Emma, and the younger sister Ellie.

"Your Majesty, now the Tang Kingdom is also one of the powerhouses in North America, and the territory opened up by His Majesty is millions of square kilometers, and its prestige spreads far and wide, and the concubines of the royal court dare not talk much, but this inner court should be ......."

Queen Lin Zhen'er paused deliberately when she said this, looked at Richard's face with big black eyes, and smiled without saying a word with a hint of fascination and adoration.

Richard naturally wouldn't wipe the queen's face in front of so many people, he gently patted Queen Lin Zhen'er's Qianqian jade hand, and said softly;

"The queen is in charge of everything in the inner court, and it is the queen's job to lead the harem, what kind of rules to set up, and how to send the people below to do things, it is all up to the queen to decide, and the king should also obey it."

Richard's words are very weighty, which is equivalent to the will of Chrysostom Yuyan, which has been recorded by the royal secretary as "living in the royal court", forming a national regulation, which can never be reversed, and there is no reason for that.

Queen Lin Zhen'er smiled and responded; "Now that Your Majesty has made up your mind, the concubines can only barely take over this big mess, but now the palace is quite crowded, and there are many female scrolls, and they are very afraid of the beasts that Your Majesty has raised. The concubines dared to ask that Your Majesty choose another place to place these beasts. ”

After saying this, all the concubines and maids of Yingying Yanyan were relieved, and they all showed relaxed looks on their faces.

It's really scary to say

There are more and more of His Majesty's pets, there are more than a dozen North American brown bears of more than 1,000 pounds alone, as well as Menghu and jaguar, dozens of wild wolves weighing up to 1780 pounds, and all kinds of eagles and bald sea wilts.

Especially those white-headed sea sculptures with a wingspan of up to three meters, when they fly over, they really have a sense of oppression that covers the sky and the sun, and the little girl who is dozens of catties is really picked up and left, and it takes no effort at all.

Seriously, which pretty girl isn't afraid?

Although these beasts are very obedient on weekdays and never take a step out of the maple leaf forest, the huge figures and roars that are only occasionally exposed are enough to frighten the female curly flowers to lose their faces, and they can't come back to their senses for a long time.

Think about it, too

The Maple Leaf Palace is just a manor-style building of the original John Sartre, the regulations are not high, the area is not large, more than enough for more than 100 people, and no more can be done.

Richard recently married a princess on both sides of the family are famous, was sent by the Tang Kingdom to send a special luxury cruise ship to pick up, accompanied by dowry and dowry children up to hundreds of people, their personal maids, dowry maids and through the room maids, study maids, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting maids and housekeepers together, the total number of more than 200 people.

This time

The Maple Leaf Palace, which was still loose, was suddenly overcrowded, and several more courtyards had to be built temporarily to accommodate the surplus population.

The place of this Maple Leaf Palace was originally wide, but once it was done like this, it could only occupy the open space on the other side of the woods, and many maids and women lived outside the wall of the beast, and they were almost scared to death.

Leisure time

There is no involution and dare to go to the maple forest to hang out, it is really like a flood beast, lest it be avoided.

Hearing Queen Lin Zhen'er talk about this, Richard was stunned for a moment and then laughed and said;

"Hahaha...... This is my inconsiderate consideration, and I would like to apologize to the queen and the two concubines.

Preparations are already underway for the new palace, which will be a beautiful palace building with the best of both Chinese and Western architecture, and most importantly a large enough area.

As for these beast pets, I will take them to move the place today, and I will never let them scare the queen and the involution.

It's just that the wild wolf is not big in size, and it is also relatively well-behaved, can you leave some caretakers? ”

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, then do what Your Majesty wants, but the concubines have a request, that is, these wild wolves cannot enter the Maple Leaf Palace, and can only be on guard on the periphery." Queen Lin Zhen'er responded with a smile, then gently pushed Richard's arm, and continued in disgust;

"Don't talk about other people, I see those wolves are afraid, we are deep in the boudoir and do not go out of the door, where can we see such a terrible beast? It's okay to be scared to death? It's just that His Majesty likes to play with these terrible beasts, which is really speechless. ”

"Hehehe...... I promise not to bring it to the inner court, so as not to frighten the queen and the concubines. Richard replied kindly.

He has always been very patient with his wife and concubines, and his cruel methods are only used to deal with the enemy, what kind of hero is he to be ruthless in front of his own women and children?

For example, the three stunners in Mexico, their father Gonzalez has become the finance minister in the new government, and the family has also moved to Mexico City, where they are located in an ornate palace in the north of the city.

From this point of view

As long as the holy scrolls of his three daughters are still there, the Gonzalez family is a super-first-class family in Mexico, and its position is more stable than that of Interior Minister Flamingo and General Dos Santos, the commander-in-chief of the Mexican Army.

These three major Mexican families are the white gloves of the Tang Kingdom to control the political situation in Mexico, so as to deeply penetrate the influence into the upper class of Mexican society and influence the development of its political situation.
