"Whew......"

A hoarse and terrible scream of pain was heard, and the face of the commander-in-chief of the Cuban rebel army, Agramonte, was twisted and screamed, and he was severely kicked in the ribs by the big iron-toed leather boots of the imperial officer, and lay on the dirt like a dead dog.

It all started a few days ago

The Tang Empire pretended to inform the leaders of the Cuban rebels that it was willing to hold in-depth discussions on the composition of the new government and its political charter, so as to lay the foundation for the establishment of a new government of national autonomy.

The leaders and backbones of the rebel army in the provinces of Cuba have all gathered to enjoy the luxurious estates and delicacies of the Spanish colonizers in major cities, and they are excited to plan the ideal country of the future.

Who knew that the insidious Tang imperialists suddenly attacked, and at the same time, in major cities and towns, including Santiago and Havana, concentrated the military and police to arrest and suppress the unsuspecting Cuban insurgents, and the situation changed suddenly for a while.

These wolf-like soldiers and police of the Tang Empire not only arrested the unsuspecting Cuban rebels, but also quickly expanded the scope of arrest through harsh interrogations, harming the families and others of the rebels.

Tens of millions of people were arrested and bloodily suppressed, and more than 20,000 rebels were disarmed and secretly sent to hard labor in Mexico's silver mines.

Just a few days of hard work

Cuba's native-born white and indigenous Indians' freedom movement suffered a devastating blow, the entire island was shrouded in bloody repression, and the Tang Empire showed a ruthless side.

The Cuban insurgents, led by Agramonte, could never have imagined;

The Tang Empire, which had supported the Cuban independence and freedom movement for more than 10 years, suddenly changed its face and dealt a devastating blow to the local Cuban insurgents, turning from a long-time ally to an executioner.

In the countless difficult days against the Spanish colonists, the Tang Empire was the backer and staunch ally of the rebels, who would have thought ......

"Phew...... A bunch of idiots, pulled out and killed. The officer spat contemptuously and waved his hand at the soldier.

Wolf-like soldiers rushed forward, shoved Agramont and dozens of other rebel leaders together, and then quickly turned away.

Not far from them

It was a platoon of heavily armed Imperial soldiers, obeying the orders of the officers, raising their rifles in unison, and the black muzzles of the guns were aimed at the leaders of the rebel army.

Agramont's mouth was full of blood, and he looked at his companions in despair and madness;

"Summoned by God, we will travel together to the holy kingdom, where there will be no more deception, no more betrayal, and where people can live together in peace and friendship.

May our children and grandchildren firmly remember that the evil Tang imperialists are the eternal enemies of Cuba and will continue to fight against them......"

The officer, who raised his hand and was about to give the order to open fire, was immediately happy when he heard his words, and said with a contemptuous expression;

"Since you are not dead, I will tell you the good news that the new Governor of Cuba, Duke Keryade Fretsch, has issued the latest order;

All non-imperial male colonies were forbidden to marry, to buy property, to own land and shops, to recruit for work, to move across townships, to hold public office, to enlist in the army, and to form and join associations.

These are the latest eight bans, which have been fully implemented in Cuba, Puerto Rico since yesterday.

Congratulations...... Welcome to Cuba Province, the new colony of the Tang Empire, and hit the road with peace of mind!

Soldiers, fire! ”

Hearing the officer's cold words, the last bit of hope in Agramonte's heart was extinguished, and he roared in despair.

He knew that Cuba was finished, and there was no hope for the native whites and indigenous Indians who were fighting for freedom.

What does it mean to prohibit marriage?

It will only take a dozen years, and when this generation of Cubans grows old, all history and inheritance will be interrupted, and Cuba will have no future.

And those Chinese immigrants who flock in will hold the Cuban woman, establish a family lineage, and reproduce an authentic Chinese cultural heritage, and the world will be changed......

"Horn Horn Horn Horn...... Horn Horn Horn ......"

A series of crisp volleys of gunfire rang out, and the unwilling Cuban rebels were shot with blood rushing out of their bodies, trembling and falling to their deaths in the dense rain of bullets.

Who is this new Cuban governor, Duke Escalade Freci?

He was the eldest son of the former Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, Field Marshal Harry Flage (posthumously posthumously posthumous), who had died of illness, and inherited the title of Duke of the Protectorate of the First Class and the fiefdom of the fief.

In his early years, he followed His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to study at the Emeline Palace in Berlin for several years, and accompanied His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince for more than 20 years.

Since the province of Cuba was brought down by King Pingnan, it was only natural that his confidant general should serve as the governor of Cuba.

The governor of the Luzon Islands was Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, who also had the deep imprint of His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin, the eleventh prince and king of Pingxi, and could not erase it throughout his life.

1878 was a year of great harvest for the Empire, but also a year of replacing the old with the new.

During the year

Heavyweight founding heroes such as Marshal Harry Fretsch, the first-class protector Marshal Harry Fletsch, the first-class Shunguo Duke Gonzalez, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Juan Carlos, and the former Minister of Finance, Count Chen Cailiang, have passed away one after another, and a generation of old people has been replaced by new ones.

Marshal Dai Changfu, Chief of Staff of the Army, also retired from his military post because of his frail health, which inevitably caused a change of power in the army.

The new Chief of Staff of the Army is Marshal Mai Hyo-cho, a veteran general who played a major role in the colonial war in Colombia.

The wheels of history roll forward......

Whistling on the royal patent in the wilderness

The emperor of the Tang Empire, who is already 50 years old, can hardly see the shadow of the years, and he still looks like he is in his twenties, but the invisible imperial power on his body is getting stronger and stronger.

He had three major tasks on his southern tour

The first was to participate in the grand opening ceremony of the Nicaragua Canal on August 8, 1878, which was a major diplomatic event for dignitaries from the Americas and Europe.

The second was to participate in the Summit of the Americas and the foundation stone laying ceremony for the establishment and headquarters of the Organization of American Cooperation held in Panama on September 18, 1878.

There is no doubt that this will be the highlight of the development of the Tang Empire, which will establish the Tang Empire's hegemony in the Americas and the status of a world-class power in terms of form and system.

The third is to inspect the new Columbia colonial area, which has been in my hands for so many years, just by the way to see how the fairy tale is being transformed?

What are the advanced colonial experiences that can be summed up?

What are the lessons to be learned?

What needs to be improved?

As a diligent and wise monarch, the group of courtiers under his command did not dare to slack off at any time, running at high speed like a spinning top drawn by a whip, managing a huge empire.

It has been 32 years since he ascended the throne, and Emperor Richard has been able to govern this huge empire with ease, and the officials are clear and clear, the country and the people are safe, and he is unanimously respected by the subjects of the Tang Empire as "His Majesty the Holy Emperor", which is not without reason.

The train roared forward, and Richard looked through the window at the regressing scenery, even with his patience now, the train ride was very boring.

It has been 26 days since he traveled all the way from the imperial capital Chang'an to the south, passing through several cities for a short inspection and rest, and it will take more than 10 days to reach the destination of Huwan City, Central Plains Province.

The empire was so vast that it took more than 20 days by train from west to east and more than 40 days by train from north to south (Note; The train is not direct, changing stations, trains, stops and avoids incoming trains along the way), and that's just to reach the southern tip of Colombia.

The Pacific Railway, which runs north to south, has not yet been fully completed, and construction is now under way, mainly in Peru, to connect south to the central railway line that is being built north in the Andean Viceroyalty.

Judging from the current construction status of the project, it will take about two and a half years, and the entire railway construction period will be about four and a half to five years.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the carriage, Emperor Richard looked up, and it turned out to be the white-haired commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, General Liu Wu (Liu Wu), who walked into the royal box and respectfully bowed; "Your Majesty, the train is still more than an hour away from Mexico City, and the Governor of the Southern District and the Governors of the Southern Provinces are already waiting for your Majesty."

"Well, let's stop at the platform for two hours, let them come up one by one, each for five minutes."

"Wechen obeys."

Seeing General Liu Wu, who couldn't hide his old state, leaving with a respectful expression, Emperor Richard sighed in his heart.

He wanted to get close to some of these old courtiers, but it made them more and more frightened, so he could only do it.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, Lonely, I am the Holy Emperor His Majesty who has been deified, who would dare to sit with him?

Scenes from the past flowed through my heart, as if it were just yesterday, and it was not far away.

can watch the people around him grow old one by one, and Emperor Richard can't help but sigh in his heart that time is fleeting, and his years are not there.

But his body is very good, he does not feel a significant decline in his physique, and he is still full of energy.

In the box of the royal train, he can still count the number of daughters at night, the eldest son of the emperor to the seventh son of the emperor are all about thirty years old, and the sixty-first son of the emperor has just been born.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Richard looked out of the window, and the scene outside the car window had changed dramatically.

Vast expanses of farmland and villages have disappeared in favor of dense and tall urban buildings, with some high-rise buildings rising more than 10 stories high, highlighting the magnificence of Mexico City's southern metropolis.

For more than 20 years

Mexico City has developed into the fifth largest metropolis in the empire with a population of 1.47 million, of which more than 86% are of Chinese descent.

The closer you get to the city, the denser the high-rise buildings become, and you can see the cars passing through the streets and alleys one after another, reflecting the old buildings and showing the vitality of old trees blooming new flowers.

Mexico City, a metropolis of the South with a lot of character.

In the long-term planning of Emperor Richard

In the future, Mexico City will be a metropolis of tourism, culture, southern economic center and religious characteristics, with the main line of rescuing and discovering Indian culture, and one of the important pieces of the puzzle of a diverse empire.

Of course

These policies cannot be advocated now, but they must be vigorously suppressed and assimilated, and the proportion of the Chinese ethnic group should be gradually increased by severe repression and brutal exploitation.

The policy of rescuing and discovering culture will not be implemented until at least the beginning of the next century, depending on the situation, but it must be implemented.

The rich multi-ethnic cultural heritage will make people cherish, remember, feel the charm of different cultures, deepen the attraction of the metropolis of Mexico City, and create a steady stream of cultural wealth.

So, the last sentence is the goal.
