Daming Palace

The curtain in the dormitory was heavy, and Emperor Richard left the imperial couch refreshed, looking back, the new concubine Tian Huizhen, who had just received the rain and dew, was sleeping deeply, and the fierce battle last night made this delicate little beauty tired.

With a smug smile on his lips, Richard lifted the curtain and turned to leave.

On the couch

Tian Huizhen's eyelids moved slightly, and two red clouds appeared on the delicate face that could be broken for no reason, and then the little head shyly burrowed into the brocade quilt, refusing to show her head again.

Breakfast

Richard came to the imperial study with a ruddy face, as the founding monarch, he was used to dealing with some domestic and foreign affairs every day.

Today's Tang Empire has reined in its expanding minions, concentrating on digesting the vast lands it has annexed, and focusing on economic development in everything. Firmly located in North America and watching the world situation coldly, there is no new big move in expansion.

The United States of America is crippled, and it can no longer make any waves.

The Confederate States of America are low and small, the Tang Empire has consolidated its position as the hegemon of North America, and relations with Britain are in a period of warming, coupled with the admission of 12 beautiful girls in the court, Richard is now living an extremely comfortable life.

The two colorful tigers in the imperial study, "Fa Cai" and "Hongzhong", lie next to the throne on the left and right, defending their territory.

Because the white tigress is about to give birth, the white tigress "Whiteskin" has been staying on Wanshou Mountain recently, and will not leave the nest easily.

After the baby tiger cub was weaned, according to the agreement, a pair should be sent to King William I of Prussia, which was a good thing for a long time, and of course the appointment could not be broken.

After teasing the pet beast a few times, Richard turned his attention to the thick stack of pieces on the royal case.

He first picked up the "World Summary" edited by the Royal Secretariat and read it, and after a while, his brows furrowed deeply, and his expression became much more solemn.

The "World Situation Summary" is compiled according to the latest news transmitted from various sources, bringing together the dynamics of the world's world, contradictions and colonial attempts, important personnel changes in the cabinets of various countries, with rigorous analysis and argumentation, published once a week, and the highest level of confidentiality of confidential information.

In the latest issue of "World Summary", the situation in Europe and South America is involved, and the Paraguayan army defeated Brazil and Argentina successively, and entered Uruguay in great strides.

Touched by the urgency of the military situation at the front, both the Brazilian Empire and Argentina urgently mobilized volunteer militias into the army, with the support of the British behind them. A steady stream of guns and ammunition arrived in São Paulo, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, allowing the two countries to quickly arm themselves for the war.

Now, a new round of fierce competition is unfolding......

In the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico in Central America, the struggle against the colonizers continued to grow, but rather intensified under the butcher's knife of the Spaniards.

Just last month

A Spanish army of 460 people went to the countryside to clean up, and was ambushed by more than 3,700 local people, suffering heavy casualties under the use of knives and guns, and finally only 176 Spanish soldiers escaped from the encirclement, and close to 290 white Spanish colonists were killed, wounded or captured.

When the news reached Madrid, it aroused the anger of the Spanish royal family and the upper nobility, and the public opinion was overturned with shouts and shouts of killing, which may have prompted Spain to send an expeditionary force to Cuba to suppress the rebels, and the situation became more and more critical.

In light of this

Based on the policy proposition of the "Liu Xianjun Doctrine" (Tang version of the Monroe Doctrine), the Imperial Foreign Office reminded the Spanish royal family to act cautiously and not to act recklessly and cause chaos in the region and bring war and disaster to the Americas.

As a responsible major power in the Americas, the Tang Empire will make appropriate responses on the basis of a careful assessment of the situation in Central America, so as to safeguard the independence and integrity of the Americas and the rights and interests of the people from being violated.

The Spanish government strongly protested against this;

It is absolutely intolerable to believe that the affairs of Cuba and Puerto Rico are the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Spain, and that the Tang Empire has grossly interfered in the internal affairs of Spain......

There is a verbal lawsuit between the two countries, and European countries have also commented on it, but they are not very concerned.

After winning the Prussian-Danish War, the French Emperor Napoleon III, after a meeting with Bismarck, the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Prussia, announced that he recognized the absolute leadership of the Kingdom of Prussia over the states of South Germany and recognized its possession of Schleswig.

As a result, the Kingdom of Prussia acquired the port of Kiel as a military port, and the Prussian army took control of the adjacent Kiel Canal, and facilitated Schleswig to join the Prussian-led Customs Union as an independent principality.

On the Holstein issue, the Austrian Empire, the original ally, did not want to see the Kingdom of Prussia grow, and a series of collisions and rivalries occurred between the two sides, and the contradictions became increasingly open.

Bismann, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, strongly suppressed the impulse of the Junker military aristocracy to go to war, made obvious concessions on the Holstein question, and agreed to the Austrian Empire's domination of the region, which was a clever strategy of "retreating as advancing".

According to the Royal Secretariat policy interpretation;

This would unite the forces of the South German Confederation that sympathized with and supported the Kingdom of Prussia, second, it could buy time for military preparations, and third, it would show the tolerance of the Kingdom of Prussia to the European powers outside the region, such as Britain, France, and Russia, and that it did not have the ambition to unify the German regions in order to paralyze the enemy.

As long as the time comes, the Kingdom of Prussia will surely strike a fatal blow with all the strength of the whole country, and this is more and more likely as time goes by......

South America

In the first quarter of 1865, the expeditionary force, together with tens of thousands of civilian armed forces, took the initiative to launch 417 battles, annihilating and defeating dozens of Indian tribes scattered in the depths of the Pampas, killing 23,700 enemies, capturing 55,100, capturing 16,800 horses, nearly 40,000 cattle, more than 220,000 sheep, and obtaining a number of other captures......

Richard briefly looked at these numbers and skimmed them, the desert expedition is a long-term combat mission of 3~5 years, and it is also a colonization process of civilization defeating barbarism, banishing soldiers and armed civilians to the North American wilderness to experience and grow in battle.

He had no doubt that the Empire would win the final victory, and by the end of this year, the number of Chinese immigrants to South America would reach 500,000 (not counting captured Indian women).

By the end of 1868, it was planned that the total number of immigrants would reach one million, and that the former kingdom of Patagonia, the Mapuche people, and the indigenous Indians would all be history.

The means of imperial conquest were indeed a little bloody, but Emperor Richard preferred to bear the reputation of the "demon king" and clean up a large clean territory for future generations, avoiding ethnic entanglements and various contradictions.

Emperor Richard only took a brief look at these international affairs, and there were three regional issues that could attract his attention;

The first; There is basically no suspense that the Dominion of Canada, which Britain has been promoting for many years, has officially begun to vote, and the first Dominion of the British Overseas Colonies is about to be born.

Correspondingly, the resolution of regional autonomy in British Columbia and Yukon will also be held a little later than the vote of the Dominion of Canada, which will also be tacitly approved by the British Colonial Office in August~September.

This was originally one of the results of Emperor Richard's visit to the UK, and after more than ten years of twists and turns, it was finally time for the melon to ripen.

The British Royal Navy obtained the patent authorization of the Colt breech gun at an almost free price, obtained a series of advanced technologies such as the trigger mercury fuse representing the advanced artillery technology of the current era, and the 20-year technical monopoly of the new nitroglycerin yellow explosive, which ensured the stable maritime supremacy of the Royal Navy of the British Empire for more than 30 years, which is of great significance.

The Tang Empire obtained equal rights to self-government for citizens of British Columbia and the Yukon, obtained the cooperation agreement signed by the Toronto Canal, the war between the three Central American countries was fully understood by the British, and the desert expedition in South America Britain would also maintain a friendly and neutral attitude......

In a word, don't make trouble.

Although none of them involved money, the benefits obtained by the Tang Empire were more precious than money, and it was a historical opportunity that money could not buy!

the second; Large-scale "anti-famine, anti-oppressive, anti-colonial, anti-imperialist garrison" marches broke out on Fuso Island, and in major cities such as Tokyo, Kobe, Nagoya, Nagasaki, local enlightened democrats, capitalists and young students were the leading force in the demonstrations.

More than 110 people were killed and wounded and hundreds arrested in the chaos, and local daimyo feudal towns expressed their dissatisfaction with the shogunate's brutal repression, and a force for change was brewing in society.

Richard could feel it clearly;

These marchers, who were holding high the banner of honoring the king, no one dared to mention the matter of "rebellion", and they were trying to overthrow the rule of the shogunate and bring the emperor to the forefront.

History corrects its trajectory with its own tenacious inertia, and if the Tang Empire forcibly intervenes by force, then it will inevitably invest 100,000 expeditionary troops, which will cost huge military expenditures, and this may interrupt the golden period of the empire's post-war economic development.

After careful consideration, he forcibly suppressed the urge for armed intervention.

The affairs of East Asia are very complex and sensitive, and if we don't do it well, it will be more important to stabilize the fundamentals of North America.

What made Emperor Richard frown was the third thing, that is, Aguba's invasion of Xinjiang had become the climate.

What should come will come eventually, but sooner or later.

In 1864, the outbreak of the Hui rebellion in Xinjiang and the emergence of several local separatist regimes at the same time gave the ambitious Aquba of the Kokand Khanate, which was close to southern Xinjiang, an excellent opportunity to invade.

At the beginning of 1865, after careful preparations, Aguba led his army across the border into southern Xinjiang, and after successively conquering Ingishal, Kashgar, Khotan and other places, he declared the establishment of the "Hongfu Khanate".

After that, Agubai's army attacked everywhere, captured Urumqi and other places, controlled many lands around Xinjiang, and became the overlord of Xinjiang.

The reason why Aguba is invincible in Xinjiang is because he has the backing of Britain, Russia and other countries. Britain had donated a large number of arms to Aguba, and Russia had also signed a secret military treaty with Aguba, which became Aguba's backer.

In just two years, Aguba's "Hongfu Khanate" seemed to have become a climate in Xinjiang and had gained a certain degree of international recognition, and a turbulent current from Central Asia rushed into Xinjiang, and the situation became grim.

If the Manchu government left it alone, Xinjiang could disappear from the Chinese map.

Which to follow has become a big headache.
