After a simple perfunctory and a little sweetness, Richard sent these high-level Mexican government officials who had gained a lot to go back, and there was no point in wasting time on them.

Seeing that April is about to begin, the resistance of the rebels of the Aztec Republic in southern Mexico has been confined to a small area of lofty mountains, and there are basically no waves coming.

It is not realistic to enter the vast mountains to encircle and suppress, and the existing forces cannot do it.

The four field divisions of the Southern Military Region and the Mexican government army have entered a period of recuperation one after another, and some troops have been stationed in the main communication routes and in the towns and cities that guard the entry and exit of the mountainous areas.

On the one hand, the rebels in the mountains were besieged by strong walls and clear fields, and on the other hand, they actively evacuated prisoners, emptied the population of local towns and villages, and implemented the "household exclusion plan". On the other hand, they will award meritorious service and awards, and are preparing to reward the vast number of officers and men participating in the war.

It is expected to be in May~June

More than 10,000 mainland recruits from Salt Lake City will arrive in Mexico City by train to replace retired veterans and continue to eradicate bandits.

After this round of severe blows, the population of more than 1.2 million in the Aztec Republic, which was originally a rebellion in the south, has been drastically reduced by more than half, and many retired veterans of field divisions and regiments will return to their fiefdoms or the location of the meritorious fields they have won for their merits with some beautiful Mexican women and a varying number of captives, and begin the process of building their homes.

This will inevitably lead to a further decline in the population of the Aztec Republic, and many Chinese veterans who need labor to build estates will naturally have their eyes on Mexican captives.

Regardless of whether these people were rebels or not, the military turned a blind eye to this, and the royal government did not comment.

After all, it's not in China, so there's no need to be too harsh.

It is not a matter of one or two years to infiltrate and swallow Mexico in one bite, although there is a consensus at the top, but it is necessary to find a suitable opportunity, after all, there are still countries such as Britain and France staring at each other, and they will always be chattering in their ears.

Richard wasn't afraid of them, but there was no need to be too rampant.

I just swallowed a Costa Rica in my stomach and was slowly digesting it, and if I immediately reached out to Mexico, it would be too ugly to eat.

While living at Chapultepec Castle, Richard dealt with a number of matters related to the construction of the Aztec government in Mexico and the south, and decided on a plan to build a railway with the Tang Kingdom and Mexico's labor and land.

The new railway line leads from the Gulf of Mexico Railway, which connects major cities in Mexico and the Aztec Republic, a joint railway line of the three countries, in which the Tang Kingdom holds an 82% stake and owns 10 kilometers of land on both sides of the railway.

In the name of the railway police, the Tang Kingdom will send thousands of armed personnel to the above two countries, as an important force to maintain social stability, demonstrating the influence of the kingdom.

May 12, 1858

The new Aztec Republic was officially established, and the government was presidency by a close relative of the Rodriguez family, which was the result of a game of political power at the top of the Mozambican government, and the Tang Kingdom chose to recognize it.

The new president, Ribeira Rodriguez, a white Hispanic descendant who served as Mexico City's Republican police chief and who had personally suppressed a large number of Mexican liberals and anarchists, was particularly appealing to Richard.

It doesn't matter if the lackey is good or not, you have to bite crazy when you bite someone, and you are a qualified lackey.

The Tang royal family was not idle, and took the large southern mine in Mexico, which was the second largest producer of silver, as its own, and put 23,000 Mexican coolies into it by the way.

It doesn't matter if they are prisoners of war or not, but the important thing is that the occupying forces feel that these able-bodied Mexicans are not good people and that it is necessary to be re-educated in the hard labor camps.

The remnants of the defeated rebels of the former Aztec Republic are besieged in a small mountainous area of Takana in the south, with fewer than 4,000 men left including the military and political leaders, as well as some women and children, who may have to live like savages in the future.

The coalition forces have occupied all the transportation arteries and towns around the mountainous areas, and the local residents have been relocated in packets, forming a large no-man's-land surrounding the mountainous areas.

In this case

Unless the remnants of the southern rebels surrender from the mountains, it will not be long before they collapse on their own, and they will not be able to replenish even the most basic salt except for the supplies they carry with them.

Adult men are better, how can those women and children carry it?

Although Guatemala, a neighbor to the south, is adjacent to the Takana Mountains, this small country in China and the United States does not dare to fight with the remnants of these rebels if they are killed, for fear of attracting the wrath of the Tang Kingdom.

The top level of the Mexican government secretly argued, feeling that there was no need to go to such great lengths, and that the remnants of the previous government were already lost dogs, could they still turn the sky upside down?

This erroneous view was severely reprimanded by His Majesty the King;

"It's all a bunch of fools, if it weren't for the kingdom's army going south, it would be you idiots who should be holding their heads now, a good country is full of corruption, and the people are not happy, so what kind of statecraft are you embarrassed to talk about?

At this level of governance, you magnates can only govern one village at most.

Don't look at the remnants of the rebels in the south who are at the end of their ropes, in my opinion, none of the military and political officials who fled into the mountains are as capable as you, and they have great influence in the southern states.

At the very least, they also know how to unite the people and invite people to buy people's hearts.

There is an ancient Chinese saying; If you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it.

Most of the remnants of these rebels, who would rather throw themselves into the mountains than surrender, are nationalists with strong beliefs, and after the tempering of defeat, their will will be stronger.

Therefore, none of these extremely dangerous elements can be left behind, and the troops stationed in the southern part of the Aztec Republic must be mentally prepared for a long-term blockade.

At least for 2~3 years, it should not be easily transferred. ”

A stormy reprimand frightened the heads of the top brass of the Mexican government, and they all fell silent, and they no longer dared to force them blindly.

The 202nd and 204th Divisions of the Southern Military Region, as well as the 1st and 6th Divisions of the New Aztec Republic transferred from the Mexican government army, are now stationed around the Tacana Mountains, totaling more than 21,000 officers and soldiers, divided into 9 important towns and 33 major transportation arteries.

After taking care of the affairs related to the southern tour, Richard embarked on a journey back to Chang'an City at the end of May, carrying more than 100 beautiful Mexican girls and countless treasures and antiques from all over the world, including ancient Aztec gods and totem stones.

His Majesty the King plans to set up a special Mexican Cultural Museum in a large side hall of Chang'an Palace, which is used to introduce the ancient Indian tribal civilization and Aztec culture, as well as the historical features of Spain's more than 300 years of rule, as a private collection of the royal family.

It took 17 special trains to transport a large number of treasures, antiques and personnel, heralding the end of His Majesty's trip to the south.

Mexico City's train platforms are bustling with people.

A train that has just arrived has brought hundreds of Chinese immigrants, most of them immigrants who have just finished their contract as a bonded worker, some have been in North America for three years, some have been in North America for four years, and have obtained official residence status in the kingdom and can open their own homes as heads of families.

Judging from their demeanor, these Chinese people are full of yearning for a new life, whether it is hearsay or news of southern Mexico from newspapers, the vast majority of Chinese immigrants choose to believe in the royal government.

In mobilization

The royal government gave a detailed account of Mexico's long history of development, unique architectural features of Aztec and Spanish civilizations, and a large number of barren rural estates and land.

Chinese residents who are willing to immigrate to the area will receive 10 acres of land for free each, plus a loan to pay a transfer fee of 5 acres of land, totaling 150 yuan.

The royal government also revealed in the introduction that if you go early, it is possible to get a Mexican woman from the local area at a low price to start a family, which attracts a large number of unmarried Chinese men.

During the contract work period, the employer will also pay 1~2 yuan of living expenses every month, and there is also a salary for extra overtime, and most of the Chinese workers who are good at saving have saved a sum of money, more than fifty or sixty yuan, and less than thirty or forty yuan.

As soon as the train arrived, I heard someone shouting; "There are female captives ready to be escorted in the square of the railway station in front, no matter how beautiful or ugly, they will be 30 yuan each, first come, first served!"

I don't know if someone deliberately spread the news, but it immediately caused a sensation, and many Chinese immigrants rushed away with large and small luggage, causing a commotion on the platform.

Seeing this, several officers of the Royal Praetorian Guard, including Lieutenant Fan Pengju and Captain Hu Hanbiao, who had just arrived here, stretched out their heads to look at the square in the distance, which was crowded with people.

Lieutenant Liu Shunli couldn't help but pout and said; "The business of the 201st Division is too obvious, and it also specially arranges people to come to the train station to shout, which is really amazing."

"Don't talk about people, this income is considered the extra money of the 201st Division, anyway, the officers have a share, this is the rule, and people don't have the signboard of the 201st Division!"

"Hmph, what more sign do you need? The U.S. who defended Mexico City was taken by the 201st Division, and now this is their territory, and these women who have been taken captive from southern Mexico, who would dare to buy and sell openly without the acquiescence of the 201st Division? I think they're all in the eyes of money. ”

"Lao Liu, I don't like to listen to what you say, the 201st Division will definitely not forget the brother troops if it is profitable, and the benefits will be shared. Why are you pretending to be a good person here, when you came to pay tribute and collect money along the way, I don't think you are lagging behind, didn't you also get 4 beautiful Mexican women to bring back? How do you see other people's troops making money? ”

"Ouch, Old Fan, that's not what I meant."

"So what else do you mean? Only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps, and the governors above turn a blind eye and ask you to come out as a messenger of justice, then return your 4 Mexican aunts and wives first, and I will believe you. ”

Lieutenant Fan Pengju was speechless and his colleague Lieutenant Liu Shunli was speechless, smiled awkwardly, opened his mouth and just wanted to explain something, but suddenly said with a respectful hand; "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, don't do to others what I don't want, and I hope that Brother Peng will raise a lot of people, spare me this time, right?"

"We and the 201st Division are grasshoppers on a rope, and belittling them doesn't show how noble we are,"

"Thank you Brother Tai for your teachings, the foolish brother knows his mistake." Lieutenant Liu Shunli smiled bitterly and saluted, scolding himself in his heart that he was really a pig's head.

The 201st Division can be seen from the code name as the 1st Division of the Southern Military Region, that is, the famous ace unit "Snow Mountain Division", which is a strong army that won a prestigious name in the Crimean War in Europe, and is also the caretaker unit of the Southern Military Region.

Being able to get the sweet and sweet task of garrisoning Mexico City naturally has a strong background.

What is good is that Brigadier General Fan Pengfei, the commander of the Snow Mountain Division, is the cousin of Lieutenant Fan Pengju in front of him, and during his stay in Mexico, the regiment commander also took Lieutenant Fan Pengju to visit people's homes.

After all, a war hero and a kingdom baron, oh...... No, after this war, maybe he will be able to get another viscount noble title, a proper big thick leg.

If he didn't pay attention and said, "The 201st Division is all in the eyes of money", is it strange that Lieutenant Fan Pengju can be happy when he hears it?

Captain Hu Hanbiao did not come out to play the round, he knew more than Lieutenant Liu Shunli, in the battle of the Omaha fortress to counterattack the American infiltration cavalry, the regiment reported Lieutenant Fan Pengju a second-class merit.

In this battle, he killed 5 American soldiers and wounded 3 people, and his performance was excellent.

As for how this statistic came about, then there is a point of attention, and those who have backers behind them will definitely be taken care of.

At the beginning, a burst of bullets and bullets hit the head-on, and the US cavalry fell a large area "in an uproar".

The Royal San Francisco Cuirassiers Regiment had steel armor protection and more firepower, so it suffered only a dozen casualties, while more than half of the American troops on the opposite side were killed or wounded.

After the two armies met, it would be even more chaotic to draw their sabers and slash and kill, who can determine how many American cavalrymen were killed or wounded?

Military merit should also be measured at the peak, it is normal for some people to have more and some people to be less, but Captain Hu Hanbiao also knows that after a second-class merit is approved, Fan Pengju will be promoted to captain immediately, and the promotion to major in the future is also a generous military merit qualification.

Now that the situation in North America is tense, at this time, he can be promoted to captain, and after a sudden expansion of half a year and a year, he will be promoted to a major in the field troops, and he will be promoted to a rocket.

If you can't catch this train, just like Lieutenant Liu Shunli, you have to grind in the rank of lieutenant for two years, and then the daylily will be cold, and you still want to eat it?

Life's opportunities are like this, seizing them and taking them off.

I can't catch it and it's completely cool.

Just like this usual way of dealing with people, some officers of the Royal Praetorian Guard let themselves go after they came to Mexico City, and a bachelor like Lieutenant Liu Shunli got 4 beautiful Mexican women at once, can the chief above have no opinion after seeing it?

Lieutenant Fan Pengju behaved much more cautiously, got a Mexican woman through the channel of the brother troops, and gave the money in a proper manner.

This situation is very common among the Royal Praetorian Guard troops accompanying His Majesty, and it is good that he follows the crowd and never rises out of the mud without staining.

"Don't stand, if you have a lot of luggage, you should check it in, and then you will arrange for your family members to get on the train, and check the goods according to the list, everyone is a little sluggish, don't delay the special train to leave on time." Captain Hu Hanbiao suddenly spoke up, easing the stalemate between them, and the young officers immediately went their own way.

It is not contradictory that as the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard, escorting the special train is also their task.
