Chapter 611: I can bear it all by myself

After a while, Emperor Richard approved a series of measures by the imperial government for the new colony of Columbia, which would summarize and develop a series of successful experiences for the exploration of colonization in South America.

Internationally

The colonization of Colombia by the Tang Empire caused a boiling reaction, especially with Britain, France and Russia jumping the highest, and criticizing and criticizing a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

And these three countries are the powers that invade and colonize the most other countries in the world today, which is simply a stark irony.

It is not surprising that the French government fell into the well at this time because of all kinds of new and old grudges, and it can vent a grievance in its heart to some extent.

What is especially ridiculous is that Tsar Alexander II, who was extremely greedy for land, disguised himself as a saint and spoke openly to the German and Austrian envoys in St. Petersburg;

"Now the international situation has become very clear, we must curb the spread of the "yellow peril", the anti-Christian forces represented by the yellow race in the East have flooded North America, Central America and South America, and destroyed the balance of the whole world.

Tsarist Russia was willing to work with its European allies to tell the authoritarian monarch of the Tang State in a clear manner;

Stop, it's not a place for you.

Faith and traditional life in South America, which is part of the traditional Christian world, cannot and should not change ......"

The "Yellow Peril Theory" in Europe first originated in Tsarist Russia, and in 1873, the Russian nobleman Bakunin first mentioned the "Yellow Peril Theory" in the article "State System and Anarchy".

He believed that antichrist forces would emerge from Asia, and since the Xiongnu and Mongols had historically conquered Europe, Bakunin declared that the Tang Empire in China and North America was "a great danger from the East."

His argument was endorsed by Tsar Alexander II, who trumpeted the "Yellow Peril" theory in Europe, calling on the white race to unite against the yellow race......

This is not the dominant view in Europe, but it represents the opinion of a section of white Europeans, and these international pressures are pressed on the shoulders of His Majesty the Emperor.

last month

Masajiro Omura, the first prime minister of Fuso, spoke out on behalf of the motherland and used fierce rhetoric to retort against Tsar Alexander II for slandering the "Yellow Peril", he said;

"Perhaps Alexander II forgot what Tsarist Russia did, and it was the greatest destabilizing factor in the entire Eurasian land bridge, whose imperial history is replete with barbaric invasions and expansions.

It is precisely because of the existence of Tsarist Russia that the entire Central Asia and the Balkans are crying, and in the last 10 years alone, Tsarist Russia has destroyed six traditional khanates in Central Asia and extended its black hand into Xinjiang.

The countries of East Asia and the Ottoman Empire generally believed that;

Tsarist Russia is a white-skinned Mongol with a strong aggressive gene in its veins, which is a great threat to peace in Europe and Asia, and one of the greatest challenges of this century......"

The tit-for-tat remarks of the Prime Minister of Fuso were widely reported by the public opinion of the Tang Empire, and immediately caused huge waves in Europe.

Prime Minister Masajiro Omura was the product of a political compromise between the samurai government represented by the old shogunate and the reformist faction of Fuso, and the Fuso Cabinet led by him was a government in the true modern sense, which meant that the Fuso country had entered a new era of comprehensive reform (Note; Earlier than the original history).

His statement, after being reported by the authoritative media of the Tang Empire, was like a boulder falling into a calm lake, causing huge waves and affecting public opinion in European countries.

Let's be honest

The governments and public opinion of the European kingdoms did not like Tsarist Russia, nor the Tang Dynasty, nor the democratic system of the United States of America, and they were quite vigilant against all three, and they also carried undisguised old prejudices.

Comparatively, they were more disgusted with Tsarist Russia.

After all, Datang and the United States of America are on the other side of the Atlantic, separated by the wide Atlantic Ocean, and Europeans have more ambiguous senses about the two, but they are subconsciously more resistant.

Europeans don't really feel the pain of the Colombian people being oppressed and colonized, and they don't care about the bad situation of the Indians.

Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, was eyeing the borders of Germany, not wanting to break through the limits of the Bosphorus and enter the warm Mediterranean, which gave birth to European civilization.

The threat is more immediate and more real.

Therefore, Fuso Prime Minister Masajiro Omura's point-on-the-spot evaluation hit the excitement of the media in various European countries, and they reprinted comments on it one after another, setting off a wave of sarcasm and belittling Tsarist Russia.

Tsar Alexander II and the "greedy Russian woolly bear" became the focus of European public opinion, and all kinds of unprovoked remarks made the Russian court angry like thunder, and really felt the pain of setting himself on fire......

What "Yellow Peril"? It is clear that the Eastern Slavs are the cancer of the whole of Europe and the source of Europe's troubles.

"Leave them alone, public opinion is just a raging storm across the fields. When the storm passes, the mountain is still the same mountain, the water is still the same water, and nothing will change. ”

Emperor Richard shook his head and said with a determined expression, he tapped the eucalyptus with his fingers, looked around at the ministers, and said in an accentuated tone again;

"The most important thing is to do your own thing, not to be influenced by public opinion from the outside world, unswervingly implement the established policy of colonial expansion, and implement a series of measures.

After eating a piece of fat meat and digesting it in your mouth, you can enhance your strength.

Now it's Colombia, and then there's Cuba.

With the current situation of serious setbacks in international trade, the situation is no longer likely to get worse, so what is there to fear?

Colonizing Colombia was an important opportunity for the empire to emerge from a severe economic recession, and it must not be done halfway, but better, more solid, and more thoroughly.

The international storms are all borne by me, and the government does not need to involve too much energy.

The formation of a situation of economic unification in the whole of North America, and the establishment of the Customs Union of North and South America is the most important matter that has a bearing on the vital interests of the empire, and it must not be abandoned halfway.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in close cooperation with the Ministry of the Military and the Ministry of Colonies, is actively lobbying the governments of the existing South American countries to exert strong pressure on the one hand and to begin to promote the signing of the South American Customs Union Treaty on the other.

Specifically, it is planned to hold negotiations on the South American Customs Union Treaty in São Paulo, the capital of Brazil, in June next year, which is a major diplomatic mission that can only succeed and cannot fail.

I hope that none of the South American countries will be absent......"

Speaking of which

Emperor Richard paused, his eyes majestically glanced at the ministers again, and the important ministers who participated in the imperial meeting suddenly felt the pressure of the mountain, and it was heavy on their shoulders, almost breathless.

"Failure to do so would be a failure on the part of the Imperial Government, a major setback for the Empire's efforts to promote a single market in South America, and a situation that I do not want to see.

Wang'er and other secretaries must not be idle, there are negative hopes, and then they will ...... Hmph, don't be unpredictable! ”

His Majesty the Emperor put down his heavy words, and the important ministers of the Imperial Council trembled, and their hearts rose to their throats.

"The ministers only obey the emperor's orders, and they don't dare to disobey it!" The ministers responded in unison, and sweat stains appeared on their foreheads......

Different from those mediocre kings, His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Tang Empire has been working hard to create a new dynasty for more than 27 years, and still maintains a strong energy for governance, insight into every detail, and controls thousands of miles away from the temple.

Aware of the people's hearts and the world, it also has a large system of the Royal Secretariat as the inner court to oversee the operation of the government, and the parliament and the democratic supervision system to check and balance power.

This made the top of the empire like a spinning top whipped by a whip, maintaining clean and efficient operation for many years, and not slacking off for a moment.

The first task of the Colonial Office was to further advance the colonization initiative and efficiently encroach on the new colony of Colombia. In order to strengthen the imperial heritage, resolve the ills of insufficient social demand in the economic crisis, and boost the confidence of the whole nation.

The first task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was to promote the South American Summit to be held in São Paulo, Brazil, in June 1875. The implementation of the Tang Empire's South American economic integration initiatives, including but not limited to the signing of the Andean Customs Union Treaty, and a series of major diplomatic activities.

The first task of the Royal Army Staff Headquarters was to maintain the peace of the Empire, to maintain social order in the colonial territories, and to suppress unrest and rebellion in the new colonies, with a focus on the new colonies of Columbia.

The primary task of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture and Industry is to promote economic development, and the Ministry of Communications, together with the Ministry of Construction, will promote strong measures to promote large-scale infrastructure construction as the traction of social needs, so as to get rid of the quagmire of economic crisis and bring the social economy back to the track of stable social development.

The Royal Admiralty focuses on the 11,000-ton Duke-class ironclad ship, which started construction at the beginning of the year, and the first ship, the Duke of Hawaii, has already cut the first steel plate, and is undergoing the initial keel installation and bilge construction stage.

The Royal Navy Minister's liking for the new and hating the old is so obvious that the three 8,600-ton "Zhenyang"-class ironclad ships that have just been completed and put into service have been left behind.

The Duke of Hawaii has become the center of attention and the heart of the Royal Admiralty, and the construction of a second ship is already underway......

Every department of the imperial government has a major mission, and the Prime Minister, Count Dong Jie, is even more busy hitting the back of his head, his black hair is visibly gray, and his expression is becoming more and more haggard.

Sitting in this important position above 10,000 people under one person, reaching the pinnacle of one's political career, while dazzling the halo, the pressure can be imagined.

At the end of the imperial meeting, suddenly Liang Bojun, the head of the royal secretariat, walked in with a solemn expression and reported a bad news that made people feel heavy;

The 1st and 2nd Prime Ministers of the Empire, the Speaker of the House of Nobles, and the First Class Anguo Gong Gu Yan died of illness at the Chang'an Royal Medical College at the age of 73......

Suddenly hearing this bad news, Emperor Richard was stunned for a moment and then turned solemn, and then ended the imperial meeting, and ordered Wen Yan to encourage the Anguo Mansion to be buried with the etiquette of the Guogong.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Yuan, the eldest son of the emperor, will preside over the funeral affairs of the Anguo Mansion as the royal representative, and all the ministers of the imperial government will pay their respects according to the courtesy, and urgently invite Gu Yalun, the current governor of the Andes, to return to Beijing for the funeral......

Gu Yalun is the son of the Duke of Anguo, and will inherit the title of Duke of Anguo and the fiefdom of the Duke of Anguo and all the wealth of the grange, and is the next prince of Anguo.

If such a big thing happens, this governorship will definitely not be able to continue.
