At noon on March 17, 1862

His Majesty's special train of the Emperor of the Tang Empire slowly stopped at the Washington Railway Station, and the red carpet on the platform was paved with tens of thousands of pots of flowers, creating a strong atmosphere of flowers.

Amid the majestic music played by the military band, the leaders of the Northern Legion, the Colorado Legion, the Chang'an Legion and the Southern Legion, as well as the President of the Confederate States of America (South) Jefferson Davis, Secretary of State Henry Daniel, Secretary of the Treasury Robert Jr. and other senior officials, President Andrew Johnson of the United States of America (North), Secretary of State Henry Jones, Secretary of Agriculture Lloyd Austin and other senior cabinet officials and special envoys from Britain, France, Italy and Austria and other countries gathered to welcome the scene with unprecedented grandeur.

Heavily armed Royal Janissaries lined up from the Washington train station to the White House, escorted by more than 3,000 cuirassiers, and His Majesty the Emperor's chariot rode from the Washington train station to the White House, cheering thousands of people along the way.

Sit on a large and luxurious chariot and look out through the window.

People who could see many Chinese faces waving the imperial double dragon flag and flowers, their excited faces swollen red and shouted loudly, "Long live Your Majesty, long live the Tang Empire, long live!" The welcoming crowd was mixed with well-dressed white women waving flags, but the mood was noticeably less than that of the young Chinese faces.

It is estimated that for the sake of safety, the military arranged all the officers and soldiers on vacation in the surrounding area to welcome them on both sides of the road, and those white women were either mistresses, or concubines or errands, of course, they were not so active.

Emperor Richard could see through the mystery at a glance, but the people below always had good intentions, and the welcoming scene was lively and grand enough, and things were done quite satisfactorily.

The huge Tang Empire must have the decency and dignity that match it.

Today's photographic technology is advancing rapidly, and these photographs of Washington's crowds welcoming them will be recorded as historical images that show the attitude of ordinary people in support of the North American Peace Treaty, and promote the attitude of all people who are tired of war and yearn for a new life in peace.

As for what these people really think in their hearts, it doesn't matter.

Today, Washington is only a medium-sized city with a population of a few hundred thousand, and its functions are more administrative, with a certain scale of industry and commerce and a small amount of finance, and nothing more.

After the influx of tens of thousands of coalition soldiers, it has actually turned into a large barracks.

Whether it was the army of the Tang Empire or the army of the Confederate States of America, there was never any such thing as "the military and the people are one family" in the land of the conquered, and a large number of better dwellings in the city were requisitioned, including the Caucasian women in the houses.

Some of the owners of the house still have male owners, so they can only clean up under the guns of the soldiers, and leave with their wives and children in embarrassment.

As for whether to spend the night or squeeze in the slums, no one cares.

Some of the owners had no male owners, only a few white women, and they were assigned to the officers or to the company. The whole process was simple and brutal, and it was inevitable that there would be a few incidents of resistance, but basically no one reported it.

If such an incident is reported, the chief will not pay attention to it, but will reprimand it; "It's all a bunch of fools, are you holding burning sticks in your hands?"

The conquest of foreign territories, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Empire are already familiar with it.

It is enough to have fear and obedience among the people, not to have an inner identity, in fact, not for decades or centuries.

Last week, white people in more than a dozen cities on the East Coast were still holding large-scale "anti-hunger" and "anti-invasion" demonstrations.

Under brutal and bloody repression, demonstrations are now banned across the country on the East Coast, and gatherings of more than 20 people are considered misconspiracy, and local white police have the power to disperse, arrest, and suppress them.

In the event of intensifying contradictions, the coalition forces will intervene with armed forces to restore order in the region.

Duke Dai Changfu, Chief of Staff of the Tang Imperial Army, once commented on this; "A bunch of well-fed, no-do white pariahs, it seems that hunger has not taught them enough lessons. It is necessary for the price of grain to rise further, and it is enough to drink a bowl of bean soup every day, so as to avoid having to make more mistakes. ”

After the United States of America conceded defeat, the remaining 800,000 troops were disarmed and are now reorganized to participate in the restoration of the city, and have been transformed into a labor force.

The Confederate States of America (Southern) took the opportunity to escort more than 300,000 strong white captives back to Richmond, and dispersed and enriched the southern states, mainly West Virginia, Virginia, South and North Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, and Mississippi, in order to replenish the local labor force and restore production on the estates and cotton fields as soon as possible.

meanwhile

The allied forces went on a rampant arrest of blacks, whether they were freemen or not, and then stuffed them in stuffy train cars and sent them south, causing considerable social unrest.

This was a continuing military operation at the request of the Confederate States of America (South) on the grounds that "the legitimate property rights of the white slave owners themselves and the recovery of their property from the vile old North." ”

Well, it's a.

This caused an outcry from the United States of America (the North), and the lawsuit went to the international mediation team, mainly Britain and France, where the British and the French were ambiguous, and they did not stop the act of plundering the large number of male populations from the North by the Confederate States of America (South).

The British envoy, Mr. Marquis Françon-Bowman, who presided over the international mediation, said bluntly in a private chat with Commodore Phillips of the Royal Navy; "In the dictionary of the British Empire, the victor can choose the spoils of war without being blamed, and weakness is the original sin, which fits the definition of fairness."

"Your Excellency, how do you define the Tang Empire's greedy possession of the Ten Northern States? Is London turning a blind eye and not hearing this? ”

"My dear friend, in matters concerning international geopolitical interests, any ally is an unreliable illusion. Do you believe that when London administers justice, the Tang Empire will not hesitate to turn its face? ”

"Oh...... Frankly, there is a possibility. ”

"Not a possibility, but a certainty."

That's it

The Marquis Françon-Bowman shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued in a gloating tone;

"It was impossible for the British Empire to send 500,000 or more troops to the North American continent to uphold justice for an immigrant nation that had been at war with Britain decades earlier.

Ever since these Americans had broken away from the British family by the fierce means of war, London no longer had a moral duty to it, but was happy to see them beaten up.

Only when I have suffered outside and my head is broken and bleeding do I know to find my parents...... Isn't it? ”

"Yes...... The United States of America (North) today has been dismembered. Brigadier General Phillips said with some regret.

The Marquis Françon-Bowman smiled more happily when he heard this, and said comfortingly; "It is not in London's interest to have an independent, powerful and uncontrollable United States of America (North), which is now on the right scale. Now that the north has big cities on the East Coast such as New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, and the security environment is seriously threatened by the Tang Empire and the southern brothers, what can he do if he doesn't cry and shout to embrace the British Empire? ”

"Oh...... I see. Brigadier General Phillips said with a sudden realization, and looked at the Marquis Fransen-Bowman, who was smiling like a chicken fox, and his heart was only full of admiration.

Ultimately

The British Empire made decisions based on its own interests, not the interests of the United States of America (the North), and was not a good man.

Around noon

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire successfully moved into the White House and opened it up as a temporary residence for the emperor in Washington, which is a deliberate humiliation and trampling on the dignity of the United States of America (North), and it is also a silent warning.

After all, in the entire Washington, D.C., there is no more suitable place for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire to be stationed in Hua than the White House.

"That's it...... It's too chilly, too. Richard circled around the Oval Office and pouted disdainfully.

His words elicited a burst of laughter from a group of high-ranking generals and allies of the Confederate States of America (South), and their hearts were filled with triumphant pride.

Southern President Jefferson Davis stepped forward and said flatteringly; "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, compared to your magnificent Daming Palace, this place is undoubtedly an ugly birdcage.

But in the whole of Washington, D.C., only here and the Capitol can still be seen a little, and it is somewhat worthy of your honorable status, please give in to your majesty. ”

"It doesn't matter, I am also from the military, and when I led the army to fight in the south and the north, it was common to eat and sleep in the open." Richard said with a wave of his hand.

Duke Dai Changfu immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with emotion; "Now recalling the years of following His Majesty's conquest and experiencing one glorious victory after another, the old minister still sighs and often remembers it! The most correct thing I have done in my life is to follow His Majesty along the way to overcome obstacles and fight the country, and witness with my own eyes Your Majesty to create the prosperous era of the Tang Empire, which has never been seen in the world, and can be called an emperor through the ages! ”

"Dai Gong has a good reputation, it all depends on the concerted efforts of you and my monarchs and ministers to have today's good situation!" Duke Dai Changfu's old man was a little high, and Richard lowered his tone with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was still very happy in his heart.

Only the President of the United States of America, Andrew Johnson, Vice President Nick Jones Marmont, Secretary of State Henry Jones, Secretary of Agriculture Lloyd Austin, and others standing behind everyone looked at each other with bitter expressions and mixed feelings in their hearts.

It was a terrible feeling to see the robbers talking and laughing in their homes, dividing up their own land and property and women, and having to socialize with smiling faces with shame and humiliation.
