With a total population of more than 4 million, the Tang Kingdom is second only to the United States in North America in terms of its vast territory, and third in the entire Americas after Brazil and the United States.

After 5 years of rapid development

The Tang Kingdom has become one of the two North American powers that can be ranked alongside the American Federation, especially known for its heavy industry and strong soldiers.

The Eastern Cavalry under his command has strong combat effectiveness and is known as the world's three largest cavalry alongside the French cuirassiers and the Polish hussars, and its combat effectiveness ranks among the top in the world.

The British "Times" has an authoritative commentary on this;

The Eastern Cavalry Corps under the command of the Tang Kingdom has always been known for its strong desire for war and excellent equipment, and its strong combat effectiveness is the most convincing example of the unruly cowboys of the United States.

The fear and panic from the enemy is the pride of the Eastern Cavalry, and its strong combat effectiveness and brilliant achievements are comparable to the French cuirassiers and Polish hussars, and are ranked among the top three cavalry in the world......

On the other hand, the United States

After the signing of the Treaty of Grip Taiwa, the United States has lost its ambition to continue its westward expansion and is more focused on domestic development.

Whether the Taylor administration wanted it or not, the principle of separation of powers, devised by the pioneers of American founding, greatly limited the expansion of the military's power and allowed Congress to oversee the military from start to finish.

In 1850 and 1851, the U.S. federal government suffered a major reduction in its military expenditures due to the high repayment of war debts.

How so?

The military budget cannot be said to be cut in half, but after the cut in half, it continued to chop wildly, and the original basin of water became a bowl of water, and it was crystal clear, and there was no meat at all.

This also led to a rapid shrinkage in the number of US troops, from the original maintenance of hundreds of thousands of troops to tens of thousands, and then further reduced to less than 20,000, all equipment and supplies for stock.

Newly recruited recruits were given old military uniforms that smelled of blood, and even had clear bullet holes on them, which needed to be cleaned and sewn before they could be used.

The Hugo Fortress, which was highly valued during the war, even gathered nearly 40,000 heavy troops at the most, becoming the most advanced military presence of the United States in the west, and it was extremely prosperous for a time.

Now the lively scene is gone, the Hugo Fortress, which was built at great expense, has less than 3,000 garrisons and only 371 cavalry, which is almost two downsized cavalry brigades.

It is said that by next year, the appropriation for the Hugo Fortress will be greatly reduced, and it is better for the soldiers stationed here to be able to support themselves and carry out extensive military cantonment and military pasture in order to make the soldiers better fed.

The attitude of the direct opponent to disarm and surrender also led to the introduction of a large-scale retirement policy in the Tang Kingdom in 1852.

Of the 37,500 cavalrymen on the roster of the Army General Staff Headquarters, two-thirds of them are basically retired, and less than 13,000 cavalry remain, including six heavy cuirassier regiments and one royal guard cuirassier regiment.

This is the core combat effectiveness of the cavalry force, and it is necessary to maintain the scale of 7000~8000 so as not to hurt the fundamentals.

The 48,500 infantry will also be cut in half, and no more than 25,000 will eventually be retained.

After the reduction of the whole army, the total cavalry and infantry strength of the Tang Kingdom did not exceed 38,000, which only met the most basic defense needs.

meanwhile

The Tang Kingdom issued the world's first "Reserve Military Service Law", which included more than 55,000 experienced retired cavalry into the reserve, and almost the same number of infantry reserves.

In the event of all-out war, this reserve force of more than 110,000 people will be mobilized in the first group and thrown into the war as quickly as possible to protect the safety of the kingdom.

Over time

Over the years, retired veterans will enter the reserve as soon as possible, and the scale of the reserve will gradually expand, becoming an important part of the military mobilization system of the Tang Kingdom.

Among the five golden flowers that the Tang Kingdom has performed well in the economic field, the Morunqi Mining Company is playing an increasingly important role, and the company's high-quality copper ore is smelted and processed into copper coins, bullet shells, various copper devices and handicrafts, which brings higher added value.

Only one copper coin, with an average annual production of more than 300 million pieces and a weight of more than 470 tons, is widely used in the Tang Kingdom, the southern United States, Mexico, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and other countries, and is known for its high quality and sufficient quantity.

Especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at this time when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising was surging, the rebel army had already broken through the Liangguang area, penetrated deep into the Huguang area, and conquered important towns one after another, threatening Wuhan.

At such a fatal time

The corrupt and dark Qing Dynasty was unable to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood, and the southeastern half of the country was in flames due to the spread of war, and the power of its rule greatly faded.

At this time

As an excellent currency, the copper coins made by Seiko of the Tang Kingdom were widely circulated in the coastal areas and were highly welcomed by merchants and the masses.

Silver and copper itself have monetary attributes, the public acceptance is high, the lack of copper resources in the Shenzhou continent, the copper coins issued by the Qing government and the copper coins of the Tang Kingdom are compared, and the opinions are immediate.

The copper coins exported by the Tang Kingdom are full of texture, thick, pure copper color, and full of weight, and the exquisite production is extremely difficult to imitate, even if it is melted, the production of bronze can also make a small profit, so it quickly became widely used in coastal areas, much larger than the original history.

In Mexico and the southern United States, where industrial development was backward, silver and copper coins produced by the Tang Kingdom were also widely used, and because the Tang Yuan was equivalent to the US dollar and was guaranteed by national credit, the Tang Yuan was more popular in the southern states of the United States.

In this day and age

The southern states of the United States issued their own dollars, guaranteed by insurance companies or banks, and their influence and credibility were far inferior to those issued by the Royal Sequoia Bank of the Tang Kingdom, including coins and banknotes.

In the southern United States

The Tang Yuan was also circulated with the pound sterling, franc, peso, and mark, and because of the fact that the water was close to the water, the total amount of circulation was larger than that of the above-mentioned currencies, so it made a lot of profits.

In 1851, the annual output reached 37,200 tons, employing 178,900 hard labor prisoners and more than 11,000 mine workers, creating an annual output value of more than 30 million Tang Yuan.

In 1851

With a total economic output of 386 million Tang Yuan and a population of 4.076 million, the Tang Kingdom has formed an industrial system dominated by mining, heavy industry and light textile industry, and has initially stepped into the threshold of an industrialized country.

The total mileage of railways in the country has reached 13,300 kilometers, the output of pig iron is 370,000 tons, the steel is 53,000 tons, and the cable telegraph mileage is 39,200 kilometers.

Compare with the United States

In 1851, the total economic output of the United States reached 1.579 billion Tang Yuan, the population was 25.775 million, and the mileage of the national railroad reached 31,200 kilometers.

Seventy percent of the population growth in the United States comes from European immigration, only in the five years of 1845~1851, the total number of immigrants from Ireland and Germany is as high as 1.77 million, with an average annual scale of more than 350,000.

The plantation economy of black slavery became the main economic output of the southern states of the United States, which produced about 7/8 of the world's cotton in the first half of the 19th century, meeting the needs of the development of the machine cotton textile industry in the British Industrial Revolution and the machine cotton textile industry in the northern United States.

Relatively

For example, in 1850, there were 166 cotton mills in the southern states, employing about 10,000 people.

In the northern state of New England, there are 564 cotton mills employing about 60,000 people.

In 1851, the southern cotton production reached 3.38 million bales, accounting for 91.7% of the world's total cotton production and more than 7% of the total exports of the United States, which was the most important bulk export material.

As a rising star, the production scale of the Tang Kingdom in the field of cotton planting and textiles is only about 1/20 of the former, and there is still a lot of room for development.

For example, in 1851, the total output of cotton was 162,000 bales, which was only less than 5% of the United States, and the cotton textile industry was about 14% ~ 15% of the United States, with a large gap.

As the world's leading immigration country, the United States is not inferior to the Tang Kingdom in terms of population growth, and even the total number of European population immigrants each year is much higher than that of the Tang Kingdom.

It was not until 1851 that the total number of immigrants in the Tang Kingdom gradually caught up with the United States, which was about 85~90% of the average annual immigration in the United States.

With the further chaos of the situation on the Shenzhou continent and the devastation of war, more people who have fled urgently need to find a way to survive overseas, and the Tang Kingdom and Australia are undoubtedly the best places to go.

There is a gold rush dream, and it is a paradise for overseas Chinese development flowing with milk and honey.

It is expected that by 1852, with the North Pacific Golden Route immigration boom, the total number of immigrants in the Tang Kingdom will be able to match or even surpass the United States.

Backed by a massive population of 370 million in the land of China, it is difficult to count the number of babies drowned in poor families every year, even compared with the whole of Europe, the Tang Kingdom is not inferior in terms of the source of immigration, and it is still surpassed.

Millions of immigrants a year is not a dream, it's just a drizzle!

The Tang Kingdom's thirst for human resources is almost endless, in the vast territory, there are too many land to be cultivated, there are too many industries that urgently need labor, and the whole social development is in a state of hunger and thirst.

Don't say anything else

The development of the industrial sector of the Tang Kingdom alone required millions of strong laborers, and with the large-scale export of oil and gas resources, millions of wooden barrels were needed in 1852, and the stabbing industry alone needed to replenish tens of thousands of workers.

Vast farms, pastures and cotton plantations require 100,000 strong male laborers, and the need for new Chinese immigrants has become even more urgent in the face of the Tang Kingdom's strict restrictions on Mexican labor.

as a victorious power

Discrimination and oppression of Mexican laborers in the Tang Kingdom were ubiquitous, and male Mexican laborers could only work in the cotton plantations, earning less than 1/4 of the Chinese and white laborers, and only meeting the minimum needs of food and clothing.

Mexican women enter the labor market, either as maids or in low-end services, or as prostitutes in the sea, and it is extremely difficult to obtain legal status.

Unless you are willing to be a concubine for a Chinese family and give birth to a son and a half daughter, then you can register and get a resident status by virtue of the child's factor and meeting the strict requirements of staying at home for more than 8 years, and the Chinese family owner is the guarantee.

The Mexicans are good, no matter how hard those Indian natives try, they will never be able to get the normal resident status of the Tang Kingdom.

In the middle of the 19th century

Whether in Europe, China, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, the United States, or elsewhere, social oppression and discrimination are everywhere, and this is an era of inequality for all.

White immigrants are much better than Mexicans and indigenous Indians, as long as they have a certain amount of property in the Tang Kingdom, buy houses and land, they can basically settle down normally and enjoy the same national treatment.

The Chinese immigrants from the Celestial Empire are treated the highest, and they can get a normal resident status as soon as they get off the ship and register, and they can move freely in the provinces within the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and they can develop wherever they want and wherever they want.

But there is one

Those Chinese immigrants who are carrying immigration loans must report to the local bank after arriving at their place of permanent residence and begin to fulfill the obligation to repay the loan gradually.

As for those Chinese immigrants who try to escape supervision or want to repay their debts, if they do not register with the local bank for more than 6 months, they will automatically become black households and will be widely wanted within the kingdom.

If caught, all property is confiscated and a staggeringly large fine is payable.

If you can't take it out, it's very simple, just throw yourself into a hard labor camp and work to death, and there will be no mercy.

Even dare to rely on the bank's money, this is not going to be a man.

It's been a long time

A consensus was generally formed in the society of the Tang Kingdom;

That is, the money of the bank and the tax bureau must not be in arrears, otherwise the consequences are extremely serious, so serious that they cannot afford it.

Don't look at those nobles and veterans who have entered the middle class, they have a good life, but the taxes and fees that should be paid are not in arrears, and they are obediently paid on time.

Noble fiefs and military fields must be paid according to the "19" tax rate, and the "37" tax rate for private land, which is the general rule. It's not that military merit fields don't need to pay taxes, but that preferential tax rates are implemented and they pay less.

These two years

After the tax bureau issued three consecutive notices, some people even killed and injured the officials of the tax bureau, which had an extremely bad impact on society.

King Richard personally intervened to settle the matter, and all the veterans and nobles involved in tax arrears were abducted from their noble status, fiefdoms and fiefs, all military honors and honors, confiscated all family property, and sent to hard labor camps for reform.

Whoever has human life on his hands is immediately put to death, as a respectful example.

As soon as such thunderous measures were made public, they aroused a strong reaction in society, and the vast majority of the residents applauded and wholeheartedly supported the harsh measures of punishing the privileged classes.

And those middle-class merchants, manor owners, plantation owners, and ranchers, who were mainly retired officers and soldiers, immediately turned into shrunken turtles, behaving like kittens.

In the Tang Kingdom

The founding monarch Richard has unparalleled high prestige, and the country is all single-handedly defeated by His Majesty the King.

The king was furious, and the domineering spirit of ambushing millions of corpses leaked a little, and everyone wilted.

King Richard said in public;

"As officers and soldiers who have made meritorious deeds, the kingdom has given them the glory and rich rewards they deserve, and they have not been treated in the slightest.

Those who lie on the merit book against the government, thinking that they can do whatever they want, are blind.

The Tang Kingdom is a kingdom founded by this king, and daring to challenge the government is to challenge the authority of this king.

Those who resist taxes and the law will be punished in this case, and don't defy the law, it will be too late to regret it! ”
