Wild North America 1846

On March 30, 1856, the "Contract of Paris" was officially signed. As one of the victorious countries, Count Juan Carlos, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, attended the contract signing ceremony with a confident smile on his face.

The "Contract of Paris" was the most humiliating defeat treaty signed by the Tsarist Empire in the past century. The whole article is full of what Russia had to do, what places it had to cede, what places it had to withdraw from, and even lost the name of the protection of the Orthodox Church.

The only gain was that the Russians finally preserved their sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula, leaving behind a bridgehead territory extending to the Black Sea.

Under the strong pressure of Britain, being able to hold on to this bottom line was the only impressive achievement achieved by the Russian diplomatic representatives. Naturally, the overt and covert help of France and the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty during the negotiations was indispensable.

Leaving aside France for the moment, the Tang Kingdom is not a good person and naturally has its own interests.

Although it was not reflected in the "Paris Agreement", in the private exchange of terms, the Tang Kingdom received a lot of benefits from Tsarist Russia.

First of all, in the field of trade, products such as kerosene, cotton cloth, steel and canned goods from the Tang Kingdom will be imported into the Russian interior through the Black Sea port of Crimea and the Baltic Sea port of Lithuania. The two sides will sign the "Russia-Tangshan Bilateral Trade Agreement" in this regard.

The specific conditions need to be discussed, but basically on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, preferential tariff treatment will be given. This is something that has been discussed in advance.

Secondly, Russia provides convenience and non-discriminatory treatment to businessmen, students and workers with Tang nationality in the Far East, and the Kingdom of Datang provides the same convenience to Russian nationals, further deepening cooperation between the two parties.

Thirdly, Russia and Tang Dynasty will discuss the establishment of a joint venture railway from Crimea to Kiev, and gradually establish a special company to invest in the railway in the form of a joint venture. The Tang Kingdom will invest in funds and imported rails, and Russia will invest in the railway.

Labor, land and franchise investment each account for a certain proportion of shares.

Today's Tsarist Russia is a phoenix that is worse than a chicken. After suffering the most disastrous defeat in the past 200 years, its reputation has plummeted. The strategy of westward expansion has been heavily shackles, and it even lost important European territories acquired during the period of Catherine the Great.

rights and interests.

At this time, the royal families of various European countries were laughing and laughing, and the harsh ridicule in the public opinion circle became the mainstream voice. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Prussia, which had concluded the Holy Alliance, were betrayed. The Ukrainian plains were littered with corpses. In Tsarist Russia, prices were soaring, public dissatisfaction boiled, and the economy was in dire straits.

On the verge of collapse, all this deeply hurt the aloof Russian bear.

The goodwill shown by the Tang Kingdom at this time is particularly precious.

after the war

Since May, officers and soldiers of the Tang Kingdom Expeditionary Force stationed in Sevastopol, Crimea, the Black Sea coastal city of Odessa and surrounding towns have begun to pack their bags and return home with their women and children.

of cruise ships.

The military has made humane arrangements. Each soldier can bring one passenger back by boat, and children under two years old can travel with them. The cost is paid by the military.

The excess amount will be paid by the officers and soldiers themselves.

This extra sentence is not for decoration. Many officers and soldiers have more than one woman and more than one child in Ukraine, and they want to take them with them at their own expense.

The military must be fair and impartial in everything it does, and do not let honest people suffer. This is the principle of doing things.

According to the regulations of the shipping company, pregnant women are not allowed to take transoceanic cruises to avoid being acclimatized and causing one or two deaths.

This seemingly cold regulation actually has its rationality. The voyage across the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico takes about eleven or two days. Even if the conditions of the cruise ship are better than those of the immigration ship, it cannot guarantee the safety of pregnant women.

Shipping companies cannot afford such a responsibility.

In comparison

It is not a big problem to bring young children with you. The shipping company has special meal arrangements for such passengers. Generally, light and nutritious fish fillet porridge, kelp and preserved egg porridge, salted fish and seaweed porridge with bread and cakes are the main meals. Depending on the conditions,

Paired with fruits, it can generally ensure adequate milk supply for pregnant women.

The actual transatlantic sea voyage only takes eleven or twelve days. After arriving at the Port of La Antigua or Medellin on the Gulf of Mexico, you can transfer to the newly opened railway to go west through Mexico City, and then turn north. As long as

After more than 400 kilometers, we arrived at Jinling, the southernmost city of the Tang Kingdom.

The five fully-manned field divisions of the expeditionary force returning from Europe will be deployed in the eight southern provinces of the Tang Kingdom, including the ports of La Antigua or Medellin, which are still in Mexico, to strengthen local defense.

.

The Mexican Civil War has entered its fourth year. Now the North and the South have begun peace talks, but the rebellious Aztec Republic in the south will still often launch attacks across the border. These two important port cities on the Gulf of Mexico are important targets.

As the owner and actual user of the railway, the Tang Kingdom could not ignore this.

January 17, 1856

After many rounds of negotiations between Tang and Mexico, the two sides concluded the "Tang-Mexico-Jinling Friendship Treaty". This treaty opened up two ports, Antigua and Medellin, from the perspective of industry and commerce, immigration, personnel movement, and garrisoning along the Gulf of Mexico railway and port cities.

The city has made institutional arrangements for all aspects of the free port.

Through this treaty, the Tang Kingdom had the right to garrison troops along the railway lines and port cities in Mexico, and to open and operate free port cities, further transporting Chinese immigrants to the above-mentioned areas, and expanding its influence in the region.

Backed by the powerful Tang Kingdom, the Mexican government was able to decompose most of the defense burden on the more than 700 kilometers of states from the Gulf of Mexico to Mexico City, greatly reducing its own pressure.

Devastated by years of civil war

The population under the control of the Mexican government, mainly in Mexico City, has dropped sharply to about 820,000 to 830,000, of which more than 600,000 are concentrated in Mexico City and surrounding towns. The combined population of the other six states controlled by government forces,

It’s less than 200,000.

Faced with cross-border attacks by the Aztec Republic in the south, most of which ranged in size from three to four thousand people, the local state government was often unable to cope.

This is not to say how strong the Southern Aztec Republic is. Its controlled population is about 1.30 to 1.34 million. It is supported by foreign forces led by the United States and Colombia. Due to religious and nationalist factors, morale is quite high.

Mexico often has the upper hand in the war between rookies and chickens.

On January 17, after the two sides concluded the Tang-Mo-Jinling Friendship Treaty, the public opinion media of the Southern Aztec Republic reacted fiercely, calling it a "humiliating and traitorous treaty" that "demonstrated the Tang Kingdom's wolfish ambitions for Mexican territory."

"Foreign governments colluded with pro-Tang Dynasty forces and betrayed the national interests of Mexico."

The newspapers in the northern United States were also in an uproar. The New York Daily News published the news on its front page with the headline:

"The Tang Kingdom took a new step in colonizing Mexico"

The report quoted the concerns of senior White House officials, used various malicious speculations and pessimistic arguments, and showed its heartfelt concern for Mexico, just like a good neighbor.

The United States has completely forgotten how it annexed the Texas, Tijuana and Monterey regions of Mexico. To this end, it did not hesitate to launch the U.S.-Mexico-Tang War and launch a naked invasion of Mexico.

Just seven years after the end of this war, the Americans have forgotten the crimes of aggression they once committed.

actually

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, American expansionist rhetoric has always had the upper hand. Mexico, the soft persimmon in the south, is regarded by the Americans as their own meat. They can eat a piece of it if they want, and cut off a piece of it if they want.

Now that the whole plate has been taken away by the Tang Kingdom, but the Yankees are helpless, how can such a huge gap not make people feel sour?

The "Tang Mo Jin Ling Friendship Treaty" not only greatly deepened the exchanges between the two countries, tightly tied Mexico to the chariot of the Tang Kingdom, but also stipulated mutual defense obligations.

This article is not only aimed at the Aztec Republic, but also against any external force that invades Mexico. The implication is that it includes the United States, our good neighbor to the north.

Living in the mid-19th century, an era of strong predators, weak Mexico was unable to protect itself in the wilderness of North America.

The two bullies, the Tang Kingdom and the United States, could bully her, taint her, and torture her in various ways at any time, but the European powers turned a blind eye and listened.

International justice and axioms are shrouded in power. The Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Iran, the Manchu Dynasty, the Fusang Kingdom, Egypt, the various feudal kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent, and many feudal kingdoms with a long history are not immune, not to mention the small Mexico.

.

The withdrawal operation started in May and lasted for more than three months. At the ports of Odessa and Sevastopol on the Black Sea coast, weeping people could be seen saying goodbye every day.

Many pregnant white women came to the port with their families to bid farewell to the returning Chinese officers and soldiers, hoping to meet again in a few years.

The faces of those women who were lucky enough to board the ship were full of joy. Between joy and sorrow, countless joys and sorrows were played out.

Many soldiers of the expeditionary force were refugees from the mainland of China. They had nothing to begin with. After arriving in Europe for more than two years, they had women and children. They would try to take them back with them whenever possible.

While stationed in the coastal areas of Ukraine for more than a year, although no major battles occurred, there were hundreds of small and medium-sized raids, encounters, and small and medium-sized battles to compete for towns.

Under the coalition's policy of acquiescing to looting, the Chinese soldiers of the expeditionary force have made some small fortunes. Correspondingly, many small and large towns within a radius of more than 100 kilometers along the Ukrainian coast have been looted and destroyed by war.

Look.

Now the war is over

Under the envious eyes of the Chinese officers and soldiers of the British Foreign Legion, the expeditionary officers and soldiers, with their women and children, and their large and small luggage, embarked on the return cruise one after another, eagerly looking forward to the beginning of a new life.

The whereabouts of the Chinese officers and soldiers of the British Foreign Legion are much more complicated. Some go to Moldova and some to the Caucasus to perform isolation and supervision tasks.

Most of them are still stationed in the Sevastopol Fortress to supervise the performance of the Russian army's contract. In the next step, they may return to the UK, or they may go to Europe or Egypt to perform tasks.

anyway

The British are really not generous to their own people. No matter how many wives, concubines and children the Chinese officers and soldiers have, they are all responsible for transportation and placement, and the salary provided is slightly higher than that of the British soldiers, which can be said to be very generous.

This is because the British Foreign Legion is actually a mercenary force and needs to perform overseas garrison and field missions all year round, and is on the front line.

Without good treatment, who would risk their lives for you?
