The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven
Vol 2 Chapter 1: letter from afar
No matter how Americans beautify the Battle of Texas, it cannot change its aggressive nature, so Franz intends to help.
The method used by the Americans to subvert Texas is not clever. It is to dilute the local Mexican population with large-scale immigration, just like boiling frogs in warm water. When the Mexican government found out, the number of American immigrants had exceeded the Mexican population.
Due to the constant friction between the newly arrived American immigrants and the local indigenous Indians and Mexicans over water and land, the Mexican government had to take action and issued a new law to prohibit the entry of American immigrants.
However, because Texas was sparsely populated at that time, and Americans did not intend to abide by it, Mexico's "Prohibition of Immigration Act" was useless.
In 1824, under the strong demand of the Catholic forces in the country, Mexico announced the abolition of slavery. By 1830, there were no slaves in Mexico except Texas.
American immigrants did not intend to obey Mexican laws, and they still built plantations everywhere to buy slaves.
Demanding the freeing of slaves was unacceptable to American immigrants at the time.
We must know that before the end of the Civil War, black slaves were an important economic pillar of the American South.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. This is destined to have a war between the Mexicans and these American slave owners.
By 1835, seeing that the time was ripe, the United States simply instigated the direct independence of Texas.
Afterwards, the President of Mexico marched on his own, and lost troops in Alamo. He was captured in the Battle of San Jacinto and was forced to sign the "Treaty of Velasco" to recognize the independence of Texas.
The Mexicans will lose so badly. Although the United States is far stronger than Mexico in terms of military power and social organization capabilities, the Mexicans are not completely without opportunities. At least they should be able to scrape a piece of meat from the United States.
On January 1, 1836, Mexican President Tasan Anna decided to conquer Texas himself.
"Mr. President! Mr. President! There is a letter from you!"
Tasan Anna's newly appointed vice-president Rouwell cried anxiously.
"Ruvel, you are now the vice president, not my orderly. As a high-ranking official of the country, you must look like a high-ranking official."
"Yes, sir!"
Ruvel has been following Tasan Anna since he became a messenger, and he is Tasan Anna's most trusted subordinate.
Tasan Anna is essentially a soldier. He is not interested in politics, but he is emotional about power, which does not prevent him from handing over all political affairs to the former Vice President Farias and hiding himself in the barracks as a general.
After the latter gained the power of the president, he wanted to do something. First, he launched a series of government projects, then cut the army, increased taxes, restricted the power of the church, and made the treasury run out of money.
In the end, under the joint pressure of the army, the church, and the people, Tasan Anna had to remove Varias and replace him with his adjutant, Lieutenant General Ruvel.
However, this Lieutenant General Ruvel is just a messenger, but Ruvel is rarely so excited.
Tasan Anna was a little curious about the origin of that letter.
"Who's the letter from? I guess it's Andrew Jackson?"
"No, sir, a letter from the royal family."
"Royal family?"
"A letter from the Imperial Household of Austria, sir."
Tasan Anna accepted the letter with some excitement, and the signature on the letter was Archduke Franz Karl.
"You may go, sir."
"Yes... yes, Mr. President!"
After Ruvel left, Tasan Anna was very excited looking at the letter, because it said "My dear brother, Tasan Anna."
This Tasan Anna joined the army at the age of 16 and joined the Mexican War of Independence. He first joined the Spanish army, and later joined the rebel army. In 1829, because of his tenacious resistance to the last Spanish attack, he was known as the national hero.
After Mexico's victory, some people even called him "the savior of Mexico", but Tasan Anna replied modestly, "I am Napoleon of North America."
At this time, North America, whether it was the United States or Mexico, was regarded as a barbaric land by Europe, and it was very difficult to obtain European recognition.
And now a member of the Austrian royal family actually calls Tasan Anna a brother. You must know that after Napoleon III came to power, he was not recognized by European countries for a long time, and even the Tsar even used the title "my friend" to intentionally humiliate Napoleon.
At this time, Tasang Anna's mood was as excited as when the Wa Kingdom was granted the title of "Japan".
After Tasan Anna opened the letter, she was in a good mood after reading the two passages, and she already regarded the Archduke Franz Karl as her half-brother in her heart.
For such an arrogant person, of course, he must be praised first.
Franz highly praised the abolition of slavery in Mexico, affirmed the achievements of Tasan Anna, and strongly condemned the aggression of American immigrants.
These are what Tasan Anna wants to see the most, and he is ready to send envoys to Austria to establish diplomatic relations. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Tasan Anna continued to read, and the next words shocked him beyond recognition.
That is the status quo in Mexico. There are many factions in the country, the country is divided, the treasury is not making ends meet, the military is seriously insufficient, the weapons are all antiques from the last century, and the most important thing is that there are traitors around him.
It was Franz's own guess that Tasan Anna was surrounded by American moles.
After all, the Battle of San Jacinto was too strange. Let's not talk about how the Americans cut off the Mexicans' retreat without the Mexicans noticing, and successfully attacked in broad daylight.
Tasan Anna's course of action alone should not be so easily grasped by the Americans.
You know, there were no mobile phones at that time, and a lot of news had to be delivered by people.
The news spread to the barracks, the troops were assembled, and when the infantry arrived, they cut off the enemy's rear, and finally launched a sneak attack.
In the end, the Mexican army lost 700 people, and the Texas army killed 11 people and injured 28 people.
If all this is a coincidence, then the odds are too low.
Franz believed that there must be spies around Tasan Anna, and regardless of whether there were dates or not, it would take two shots, just in case they hit.
However, there are many factions in the country, it is divided, the treasury is unable to make ends meet, and the military strength is seriously insufficient. This is the current situation in Mexico.
Tasan Anna couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Although he believed in his subordinates, a grand duke far away in Europe could know the current situation of his country, so he had to doubt his subordinates' secrecy work.
In the end, Franz came up with a solution, win over the Catholic Church, and establish a good relationship with the media. At the same time, Austria plans to sell a batch of 20,000 rifles to Mexico, and send two military observers and a professional tabloid editor.
