Wild North America 1846

August 2, 1851

After nearly two months of delay, the troops of the Tang Kingdom gathered in Jinling City marched southward, heading toward Mexico City, which was more than 400 kilometers away.

Several states along the way were invincible and could not stop the army at all.

Ten days later

The army of the Tang Kingdom set up temporary camps about 16 kilometers north and west of Mexico City, with a total strength of about 32,000 troops, including two Mexican servant divisions with a total number of 12,000 people.

Jinling City in the rear is guarded by the Third Cavalry Division, and with the thousands of Chinese musketeers reinforced this month, it is enough to prevent a large-scale sneak attack by the Mexican government forces, if they still have such ability.

When the Tang Kingdom's army marched southward, hundreds of thousands of refugees scattered around Mexico City had already retreated south like a tide, leaving behind a mess and corpses all over the place.

There was no way, the war hadn't even started yet. The army of the Tang Kingdom had to hire thousands of young Mexican refugees with food, and worked day and night to clear away all kinds of messy shacks, messes and corpses everywhere.

Sometimes, seven or eight corpses could be dragged out of a dilapidated shack, each of them hungry and skinny.

The Tang Dynasty hired young refugees with food, which attracted tens of thousands of refugees who lingered and could not even be driven away.

In the face of extreme hunger, death is not terrible.

three days later

The battlefield under Mexico City was cleaned up, and the Tang Kingdom army used the temptation of a full meal every day to induce the young Mexicans to fill the trenches with soil, and filled in all the trenches leading to the fortress.

Tens of thousands of Mexican refugees were like ants, carrying dirt on their backs and going back and forth under the city. On the tall city of Mexico City, the defenders fired angrily and fired arrows, knocking the refugees rushing in front to the ground.

After a brief retreat

Mexican refugees carrying earthbags rushed up again like a tide. These refugees who had survived until now were full of hatred towards their compatriots in the city. The upper-class dignitaries and large plantation owners sent troops to guard the city gates to prevent the influx of refugees and seek a way out.

Refugees don't care whether there is another hell in Mexico City. Since you are unkind, then I am unjust, just to help the invading army with a bite to eat.

These Mexican refugees are much more realistic than the docile people of the Qing Dynasty. At least they know how to get food.

A few decades later, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Peiping. The common people along the way carried burdens and pushed carts to send the invading troops to attack Peiping. This was truly rare.

from beginning to end

Two Mexican servant divisions were organizing the refugees to carry soil and fill trenches to build mountains. The Chinese army from the Tang Dynasty supervised the battle from a distance. Those fighting on the front line were all Mexicans.

For those refugees who were beaten to death by the Mexican defenders and fell to the ground, no one dragged them out. Instead, they dumped the soil directly on top and buried them with the soil directly in the mound.

Seeing that something was going wrong, the Mexican defenders mobilized dozens of artillery pieces from various places and began to fire wildly at the Mexican refugees. For a time, corpses were everywhere, and no one dared to go up.

Seeing this, Richard waved his hand, and more than 100 artillery pieces from the siege troops of the Tang Dynasty were deployed. They fired fiercely at the enemy troops at the top of the city. The explosion knocked the Mexican defenders on their backs and their corpses were blown away.

The waves flew into the air and fell heavily again.

The new Colt breech-loading artillery of the Tang Dynasty has a range of up to 1.8 kilometers. Compared with the common Mexican artillery, which has a range of only 800 to 900 meters or 1.2 kilometers, it is not a bit more powerful.

The key is that it has a long range. It can target the Mexican defenders on the top of the city from a safe distance and bombard them indiscriminately, covering the refugees and piling up the mountain of dirt to a height of more than ten meters.

On the 5th day of repeated battles, the Mexican servant army drove tens of thousands of Mexican refugees with knives and guns in their hands and stormed the city, and then poured into the city like a tide.

August 22, 1851

On the 20th day when King Richard of the Tang Dynasty led his army southward, he massively captured Mexico City. Hundreds of thousands of refugees followed the army and poured into Mexico City. The city was filled with shouts of death and cries, as if it was the end of the world.

The chaos lasted for two weeks. President Santayo, who had made arrogant remarks at the time, was captured alive. Under the leadership of a group of captured Mexican senior officials, President Santayo admitted defeat and signed the "Mexican Treaty", which was humiliating and humiliating to the country.

The "Mexico Treaty" has 21 articles in total, and its main content is 5 articles;

First, Mexico admitted its defeat and solemnly apologized to the Tang Kingdom in the name of the government, that is, it knelt down.

Second, the Mexican government agreed to cede eight northern and central states as war compensation to show its greatest peace sincerity.

Third, the people of the Tang Kingdom were given special protection when doing business and purchasing property in Mexico. They had consular jurisdiction and the local government had no right to interfere.

Fourth, the north of Mexico City is designated as a concession, and the Tang Kingdom has the right to dispatch no more than 2,000 police and military police to maintain security and stability in the concession.

Fifth, the Tang Kingdom paid 1.2 million Tang Yuan for the northern and central Bazhou, which was paid in three years without interest.

After the signing of the "Mexican Treaty" and staying for more than a month, Richard led a group of entourage to return in triumph and returned to the Maple Leaf Palace in Chang'an.

The two servant divisions that followed the Tang Kingdom to capture Mexico City were disbanded on the spot and transformed into the new Mexican government army supporting the pro-Datang Kingdom government. Their influence penetrated into the police agencies of Mexico City.

A flamenco master became the interior minister of the Mexican government, made a fortune during the great turmoil in Mexico City, and became one of the powerful elements of the new government through the armed forces he controlled.

Another division commander, Dos Santos, became the commander-in-chief of the Mexican government's army. He quickly expanded his army to more than 40,000 people by recruiting refugees, and infiltrated his power into the police agency, taking control of this powerful department in Mexico City.

These two white gloves trained by the Tang Kingdom suddenly became the real power figures in Mexico City. During the two-week turmoil in Mexico City, hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into the city. During those turbulent and bloody years,

Here, many refugees armed with knives and guns broke into civilian houses and replaced them, which had a huge impact on the original residential structure of Mexico City.

Under the joint promotion of Mexican Army Commander General Dos Santos and Minister Flamenco, Mexico's emergency government passed the National Reconciliation Act, which pardoned these thugs who forced their way into homes and granted them legal status.

The "National Reconciliation Act" temporarily covered up the bloody turmoil that Mexico City experienced, covered up the thousands of robbery and murder cases, covered up the past crimes, and promoted the rapid stabilization of Mexico's largest city.

However, the consequences are endless and will appear one by one in the future development.

As outsiders, Mexican Army Commander General Dos Santos and Minister Flamenco pushed for the passage of the National Reconciliation Act, winning the full support of more than 40% of the residents of Mexico City. They truly gained a foothold and won the largest victory.

Benefit.

What really allowed these two outsiders to take root in Mexico City and become powerful figures in the country was the funds provided by the Tang Kingdom. According to the provisions of the "Mexico Contract";

From now on, the Tang Kingdom should pay a total of 1.2 million Tang Yuan for three consecutive years as compensation for a total of 1,007,500 square kilometers of land in eight states in northern and central Mexico.

The money, after being converted into a large amount of food and supplies, was gradually delivered to the Mexican government, which is the area controlled by General Dos Santos, commander of the Mexican Army, to be shared between him and Minister Flamingo.

Other high-level officials in the Mexican government basically don't see the slightest smell of oil.

These massive supplies of supplies have won the support of General Dos Santos and Minister Flamenco from most residents in Mexico City, and have also given some impetus to the Mexican government's rush to plant and harvest crops, provide disaster relief, and restore agricultural and animal husbandry production.

The wealthy northern area of ​​Mexico City was originally a military-occupied area. Now, a large concession area has been designated, and thousands of Chinese businessmen, 2,000 Chinese garrison troops and their families have moved in, as well as a large number of wealthy local Mexico City families and estate owners.

Become the area least affected by the war.

In this concession, the Mexican military and police have no right to enter. The police department under the concession administration maintains security, and the Chinese garrison ensures its independent status.

Mexico City, once the largest, most populous and most prosperous city in North America, has seen its influence plummet after this catastrophe. As the largest city in Mexico, it still has a decisive influence in the country.

However, these are not things that the Tang Kingdom has to consider.

After two years of the Tang-Mexican War, the Tang Kingdom cut off eight northern and central states from Mexico, covering a vast territory of 100.75 square kilometers and adding eight provinces.

This includes the provinces of Chihuahua, Durango, Sinaloa, Coavena, Sonora, Zacatecas, Tepic and Auring. The administrative region was converted from the original 8 states.

for 8 provinces.

Thus

The mainland of the Tang Kingdom expanded from 14 provinces to 22 provinces, plus the two overseas provinces of Hawaii and Panama, for a total of 24 provincial-level administrative regions.

The total area of ​​the Tang Kingdom increased from 4.49 million square kilometers to 5.593 million square kilometers (note, the increase includes Hawaii Province of 17,500 square kilometers and Panama Province of 75,500 square kilometers). After Brazil, the United States is the third largest country in the Americas (including north and south).

America and Central America).

With a land area of ​​8.51 million square kilometers, Brazil ranks as the largest country in the Americas.

The territory of the Tang Kingdom is slightly smaller than the 5.99 million square kilometers of land in the United States (note: plus the 678,000 square kilometers of Texas, the U.S. territory is 5.73 million square kilometers, plus the states of Tijuana and Montenegro ceded by Mexico.

Leizhou has a total land area of ​​260,000 square kilometers, totaling 5.99 million square kilometers), ranking third.

At this point, the situation in North America shifted from three powers coexisting to two powers competing for hegemony, and Mexico was completely eliminated.

In just 6 years, it has experienced two large-scale wars that spread across the country. Mexico, which originally had a population of more than 6 million, has been hit hard repeatedly. Its population has been reduced by more than half, and its total land area has also shrunk to 730,000 square kilometers. Its territory is,

The population and economy are no longer enough to support its status as a major power in North America.

With the disastrous defeat of the foreign war, Mexico's domestic conflicts have become increasingly acute. Rodriguez, the former Mexican government's finance minister who fled to the south, and former Mexican government army commander-in-chief General Leto, two powerful figures, rely on the traditional power in the south.

The power of the manor owner is resurrected.

Not content with their rights being replaced by new forces, they rearmed with the intervention of extraterritorial forces led by the United States, and initiated secession and restoration in the southern states. Chaos emerged for a time, and so on.
