Mid-March 1858

Mexico City

After His Majesty the King of the Tang Kingdom arrived in Mexico City, Mexican President Gonzalez held a grand welcome ceremony, with more than 200,000 people holding flowers along the streets to welcome him, and the flag of the Tang Kingdom was spread all over the streets and alleys, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Mexico City is the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere, with countless ancient Indian cultural and historical sites, it is said that the Aztecs listened to the gods, filled in the land designated by the gods, built embankments and roads, and built the city of Tenochtitlan, which is the predecessor of Mexico City, in 1325 AD.

After Mexico City was occupied by the Spanish in 1521, the Spanish colonists built many European-style palaces, churches, monasteries and other buildings on the ruins, and named the city Mexico City, which is famous in Europe as the "palace capital".

In 1821, Mexico became the capital at the time of independence. Since the end of the 18th century, the city has grown in size and has become the size it is today.

In terms of cultural accumulation, no city in the Tang Kingdom can compare with Mexico City.

There are about 670,000 people in Mexico City today, of which 1/3 are of Chinese descent, and their influence has penetrated into almost all aspects of the government, army and economy.

Over the years, Mexico has been bumpy and bumpy, and after the invasion of the United States in 1846, it has been in constant turmoil, and has experienced the Tang-Mexico War and the Mexican Civil War, and its vitality has been greatly damaged.

After several years of recovery, the population under the current government of Mexico is only more than 867,000, with the Chinese population accounting for 1/3, and the authentic Mexicans are less than 500,000, mostly Mexico City residents.

The vast expanse of barren manors and fields around Mexico City was occupied by many Chinese, and slowly formed a dominant force in the region.

The main purpose of Richard's visit was to make arrangements for Mexico's post-war and Chinese emigration, and to appease the Mexican upper vested interest groups, so that they could accept the large-scale Chinese immigration arrangements with one eye and a closed eye.

Richard plans to retire more than 10,000 officers and men of the four field divisions that entered southern Mexico this time, and put their meritorious fields and fiefs in the states around Mexico City, which is a traditional urban dense area with a long history of development, relatively intact urban buildings, and large barren fields that are easy to recover.

These more than 10,000 officers and soldiers are more than 10,000 owners of small and medium-sized estates, plus the 200,000 or 300,000 Chinese immigrants who plan to move in in the future, and the situation in Mexico has basically established the dominant position of the Chinese.

As for the combat effectiveness, the Tang Kingdom is not short of these divisions, and there are already more than 20,000 recruits who have arrived in Salt Lake City in North America from the mainland, and they can replenish the shortage of field divisions at any time, which is not a problem.

Think about it from Richard's point of view;

In-depth integration, and to build the basic plate of Chinese people all over the city and countryside, to create a vassal state that closely follows the Tang Kingdom, and to swallow it when the time is ripe is the main purpose.

Therefore, after the situation in the south is stabilized, the officers and soldiers of these four divisions will be discharged on a large scale, and the titles of earl and viscount must not be rewarded at will, and the titles of baron, subordinate baron, and knight can be lower in standard, wider in scope, and larger in fiefdoms, so as to play a role in stabilizing the power of towns and towns in the central states.

Who is President Gonzalez?

Seriously speaking, it is still Richard's father-in-law, and the three bewitching Mexican sisters in the royal court are the daughters of President Gonzalez, but their positions are lower, and the eldest sister Elsa is just a good woman of the fourth grade, so President Gonzalez is not a real royal family.

It is with this level of connection that Gonzalez can stand out as president, otherwise he would be just an ordinary white manor in the South.

What Richard can lure them is to take out the title of nobility, basically 5 counts, 12 viscounts and 31 barons, as well as a certain number of barons and knights, basically the officers of the Mexican government army with the rank of major and above can get one, the difference is the level of the title.

During this period, the diplomatic department of the Tang Kingdom was in close contact with the Mexican side, and they had already negotiated a lot of difference, in exchange for the tacit approval of the Mexican high-level to the serious infiltration of Oriental forces.

In the face of affordable family interests, the burden of selling out the interests of the Republic of Mexico is not so great.

After arriving in Mexico City, King Richard and his entourage stayed at Chapultepec Castle, the only royal castle on the American continent (the palace of the Tang Kingdom is not yet royal), and Emperor Massimiliano I of Mexico was once the owner here.

Richard, as His Majesty the King, will not handle these secret ulterior transactions, he is enjoying the tribute of more than 100 beautiful Mexican girls these days, he is really a groom every day, and he is very happy.

In a luxurious palace

Richard officially received President González's official pilgrimage, and his entourage included the commander-in-chief of the Mexican government army, General Dos Santos, the Minister of Finance, Flamingo, the Minister of the Interior, Rodríguez, and the Minister of Agriculture and Development, Pedro, and other dignitaries.

Investigate its heels

President Gonzalez has a relationship with the Tang royal family, and Admiral Dos Santos and Finance Minister Flamingo are not outsiders.

It is precisely because the former government army of Mexico was extremely ferocious and saddled with a lot of blood debts of the Mexican military and civilians that it had to be tied to the interests of the Tang Kingdom and became two of the three real power factions of the puppet regime of the Mexican government supported by the kingdom, the other being the family of President Gonzalez.

As for the Minister of the Interior Rodriguez and the Minister of Agriculture and Development, Pedro, both represent the entrenched forces in Mexico City, which together form the mainstream of today's Mexican upper class.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet ......

The Mexican puppet government relied on the military dictatorship and the strong support of the Tang Kingdom to survive, and was not defeated by the rebels of the southern Aztec Republic, preserving the last vestiges of dignity.

These upper-class figures can naturally perceive the true intention of the Tang Kingdom, which is to annex Mexico, and in the case that the situation cannot be reversed, it has become a rational choice to prioritize the protection of the family's interests.

Therefore, the top level of the Mexican government headed by President Gonzalez looked very humble and was willing to pay homage to His Majesty the King with the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, are you still satisfied here?" President González's question was very ambiguous and meaningful.

Richard stared at him with a funny look in his heart, and then said with no change in his face; "Okay, now that the war in the south is coming to an end, and the top leaders of the rebellious Aztec Republic are hiding in the mountains in fear after the temporary capital is breached, and it is not far from being completely wiped out?"

"It's all at Your Majesty's command." President González replied flatteringly, and the low-brow pleasing one was more loyal than the courtiers.

Damn it, don't you lick it like that, okay?

Richard was almost speechless by them, he was a little nostalgic for the tough character of the American Southerners, who did not give in to national interests and sovereignty, and was bound to fight, that is a qualified national political leader, I just hope they can stick to the end.

Wan Er smiled, and Richard said after a deep groan;

"I considered the post-war political arrangements, and still inherited the mantle of the existing Aztec Republic and established a predominantly Mexican state to rule the southern states.

Of course, in order to avoid miscalculation of the change of government, it is very important to conclude a solid friendship treaty with the Tang Kingdom and form a close community of interests.

Then, in the selection of the leaders of the southern regime, we should make a thorough and proper consideration.

Such a head of government should have considerable influence in the south, and at the same time cannot accept the noble title of the kingdom to avoid being too clearly pro-Tang colored.

All things considered

A steady and big-picture politician should take charge of the formation of a new Aztec Republic government framework, and the Tang Kingdom will provide the necessary help to bring this troubled region back on the right track of peaceful development.

The ultimate goal is to restore order and peace and tranquility in North America, which is also the common cry of the war-torn Mexican people.

As the responsible and responsible government of the Tang Kingdom, it is incumbent upon it to undertake the important task of rebuilding peace, and the generals of the four field divisions in the south of the kingdom will transform from combat pioneers to peace messengers to help the new Aztec Republic stabilize the local situation.

Over here

I hope to be able to solicit the views of all of you and jointly come up with a candidate worthy of everyone's trust, and it is possible that in the near future we will be ready to go south and take up the task of forming a new government. ”

As soon as Richard said this, everyone present immediately came to their senses, and immediately frowned and pondered.

This is tantamount to the sweetness sent by the Tang Kingdom, allowing these five major families to share the huge benefits, even if they want to inherit the title of earl, the family lineage can't serve in the new Aztec Republic government, so can't the side branches?

President González had already made up his mind to hold a high position as a minister in a powerful government for the illegitimate son of him and his lover, and everyone else had their own thoughts, and their faces became delicate.

After Richard saw it, he felt that the heat was almost over, so he pretended to smile generously and said; "To govern the traditional Mexican sphere of influence, you still need several major families to contribute money and efforts, of course, there is no need to rush the candidate, after careful consideration, it can be submitted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Juan Carlos, and the parties will decide after consultation, this is not a matter that can be decided by tapping the brain."

"Your Majesty, we are far less thoughtful than we are, this is indeed a big deal, please allow us to give an answer after careful consideration." President González looked solemn.

Interior Minister Rodriguez also showed eagerness on his face, and nodded in agreement; "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of the people of Mexico, and we will definitely select a trustworthy candidate to live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

"On behalf of the Pedro family, I would like to pay the highest tribute to His Majesty the King, whose proposal is not only a sign of respect for the Mexicans, but also a great kindness to the Mexican people. Your benevolence ...... "The Minister of Agriculture and Development, Pedro, was not willing to be left behind, and said as much as he could.

Count Juan-Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was accompanying His Majesty the King, shuddered when he heard these sensual flatteries, and immediately interrupted; "Okay, since you have no objections, after the relevant candidates are proposed, we will make a decision based on the opinions of all parties, please contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for specific matters, and I will follow up at any time."

"That's great, we will come up with a specific person in three days, in the sense of the responsibility of the Mexican people, and I hope to have an in-depth discussion with the honorable Lord Carlos, which we are very much looking forward to." President González finalized the date.

Since His Majesty the King has said that he will determine the candidate as soon as possible and go south to devote himself to the work of forming a new government, he should not delay it in a hurry, and it will be better to set it for three days.
