Chapter 611 I will bear it all

After a brief meeting in front of the emperor, Emperor Richard approved a series of measures taken by the imperial government regarding the colony of New Colombia, which would summarize and develop a series of successful experiences for the exploration of colonization of South America.

Internationally

The colonization of Colombia by the Tang Empire aroused a furious reaction, especially Britain, France and Russia, which jumped the most and appeared to be righteous in their verbal and written criticism.

It is a stark irony that these three countries are the powers that have invaded and colonized the most other countries in the world today.

Because of all kinds of old and new grudges, it is not surprising that the French government would add insult to injury at this time. It would be a way to vent some of the resentment in its heart.

What is particularly ridiculous is that Tsar Alexander II, who was extremely greedy for land, disguised himself as a saint and publicly said to the envoys from Germany and Austria in St. Petersburg;

"The current international situation is very clear. We must curb the spread of the "Yellow Peril". The anti-Christ forces represented by the yellow people from the East have flooded North, Central and South America, destroying the balance of the entire world.

Tsarist Russia is willing to work together with its European allies to tell the Tang Dynasty’s dictatorial monarch in a clear manner;

Stop it, this is not your place.

As a part of the traditional Christian world, South America's beliefs and traditional life cannot and should not be changed..."

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

He believed that anti-Christian forces would emerge from Asia. Since the Huns and Mongols had conquered Europe in history, Bakunin declared that the Tang Empire in China and North America was a "huge danger from the east."

His argument was approved by Tsar Alexander II, who promoted the "yellow peril theory" in Europe and called on the white people to unite to deal with the yellow people...

This is not the mainstream view in Europe, but it represents the opinion trend of some white Europeans. These international pressures are all on the shoulders of His Majesty the Emperor.

last month

The first prime minister of Fuso Kingdom, Omura Masujiro, spoke on behalf of his country and used fierce words to counter Tsar Alexander II's remarks slandering the "Yellow Peril". He said;

"Perhaps Alexander II forgot what Tsarist Russia did, which was the biggest destabilizing factor in the entire Eurasian continental bridge. The history of Tsarist Russia's empire is full of barbaric aggression and expansion.

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

Countries in East Asia and the Ottoman Empire generally believed;

Tsarist Russia is a white-skinned Mongolian with a strong gene of aggression in its blood. This is a huge threat to the peace of the entire Europe and Asia, and one of the biggest challenges of this century..."

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

Prime Minister Masujiro Omura is the product of political compromise between the samurai government represented by the old shogunate and the Fuso "royal restoration" reformists. The Fuso Cabinet led by him is a government in the true modern sense, which means that Fuso Country has entered an era of comprehensive reform (

Note; earlier than the original history).

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

to be honest

The governments and public opinions of various European kingdoms neither liked Tsarist Russia, nor the Tang Dynasty, nor the democratic system of the United States of America. They were very wary of these three, and they also had undisguised old prejudices.

In comparison, he hates Tsarist Russia even more.

After all, the Tang Dynasty and the United States of America were on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, separated by the vast Atlantic Ocean. Europeans had a vague sense of the two, but were subconsciously more resistant to them.

Europeans cannot truly feel the pain of the Colombian people being oppressed and colonized, and they do not care about the poor plight of the Indians. There are too many colonized areas in the world, so how can they care?

Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, was just staring outside the borders of Germany, always wanting to break through the restrictions of the Bosporus and enter the warm Mediterranean Sea where European civilization was nurtured.

This threat is more direct and real.

Therefore, Fuso Prime Minister Omura Masujiro's to-the-point comments hit the excitement point of the media in various European countries, and they all reprinted their comments, setting off a wave of sarcasm and belittling Tsarist Russia.

Tsar Alexander II and the "greedy Russian furry bear" became the focus of European public opinion. All kinds of irresponsible remarks made the Russian court furious with anger, and they really felt the pain of being burned...

What is the "yellow peril"? It is obvious that the East Slavs are a cancer for the entire Europe and the source of trouble for Europe.

"Don't worry about them. Public opinion is just a violent storm passing over the fields. When the storm passes, the mountains will still be the same mountains and the water will still be the same water. Nothing will change."

Emperor Richard shook his head and said calmly. He tapped the imperial case with his fingers, looked around at the ministers, and said with emphasis again;

“The first thing is to do your own thing well, not to be influenced by external public opinion, unswervingly implement the established colonial expansion policy, and implement a series of measures.

Only after a piece of fat meat is digested in your mouth can you increase your strength.

Now it’s Colombia, followed by Cuba.

Now that international trade has suffered a serious setback, the situation cannot get worse, so what is there to be afraid of?

Colonizing Colombia is an important opportunity for the empire to escape from the severe economic recession. It must not give up halfway, but must do better, be more solid, and be more thorough.

I am solely responsible for the international storms, and the government does not need to involve too much energy.

The whole of North America has formed a situation of economic unification. The establishment of the North and South American Customs Union is a major event related to the vital interests of the empire and must not be abandoned halfway.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Colonies, actively lobbied existing South American governments. On the one hand, it exerted strong pressure, and on the other hand, it began to promote the signing of the South American Customs Union Treaty.

Specifically, negotiations on the South American Customs Union treaty are planned to be held in Sao Paulo, the capital of Brazil, in June next year. This is a major diplomatic mission that can only succeed but cannot fail.

I hope that all South American countries will not be absent..."

Speaking of which

Emperor Richard paused and glanced majestically at the ministers again. The ministers attending the imperial meeting suddenly felt a mountain of pressure coming over them, weighing heavily on their shoulders, making them almost breathless.

"Failure to achieve this point is a failure of the imperial government and a major setback in the empire's efforts to promote the unified market in South America. It is a situation that I do not want to see.

I hope you and other ministers will not wait any longer and disappoint my expectations. When the time comes...humph, don't say that I was unforeseen!"

His Majesty the Emperor said harsh words, and the important ministers in the Imperial Council were trembling with fear, with their hearts in their throats.

"I will only obey the emperor's orders and never dare to disobey it!" All the ministers responded in unison, with sweat looming on their foreheads...

Unlike those mediocre kings, His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Tang Empire has been vigorously establishing a new dynasty for more than 27 years. He still maintains strong political energy, discerns every detail, and controls thousands of miles away from the heights of the temple.

It has a clear understanding of people's hearts and the situation of the world. It also has a large Royal Secretariat as the inner court to supervise the operation of the government, and the parliament and democratic supervision system check and balance power.

This makes the empire's top officials like a top being whipped by a whip, maintaining clean and efficient operation for many years without being able to relax for a moment.

The first task of the Colonial Office is to further promote colonial measures and efficiently digest the new colony of Colombia. This is to enhance the empire's heritage, resolve the shortcomings of insufficient social demand in the economic crisis, and boost the confidence of the entire nation.

The first task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to promote the summit meeting of South American countries to be held in Sao Paulo, the capital of Brazil, in June 1875. To implement the Datang Imperial Government’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

Activity.

The primary task of the Royal Army General Staff Headquarters is to maintain the tranquility of the empire, maintain social order in colonial territories, and suppress unrest and resistance in new colonies, with an emphasis on the colony of New Colombia.

The primary task of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce is to promote economic development. It has joined forces with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Construction to promote strong measures driven by large-scale infrastructure construction to meet social needs, get rid of the quagmire of the economic crisis, and help the social economy return to the track of stable development.

The focus of the Royal Navy is the 11,000-ton Duke-class ironclad ship that started construction at the beginning of the year. The first steel plate of the first ship "Hawaii Duke" has been cut, and the initial keel installation and bottom tank construction stages are in progress.

The Royal Navy Minister's preference for the new and his distaste for the old is so obvious that the three 8,600-ton "Zhenyang" class ironclads that were just completed and put into service have been forgotten.

The "Duke of Hawaii" has become the focus of everyone's attention and is also the heart of the Royal Navy. The construction plan for the second ship is already in progress...

Every department of the imperial government shoulders important missions. Prime Minister Count Dong Jie was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet. His black hair turned visibly gray and his expression became increasingly haggard.

Sitting in this important position, one person below ten thousand people, reaching the pinnacle of one's political career, with a dazzling aura, one can imagine the pressure he endures.

At the end of the imperial meeting, suddenly Liang Bojun, the head of the Royal Secretariat, walked in with a solemn look and reported a piece of sad news that made people feel sad;

The 1st and 2nd Prime Minister of the Empire, Speaker of the House of Nobles, and First Class An Guo Gong Gu Yan died of illness at the Chang'an Royal Medical College at the age of 73. The An Guo Gong Mansion has come to report the funeral...

Suddenly hearing the bad news, Emperor Richard looked stunned for a moment and then turned solemn. He immediately ended the imperial meeting and issued an order to give gentle words of encouragement to Anguo's palace and bury him with dignity and dignity.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Yuan, the eldest son of the emperor, will serve as the royal representative and preside over the funeral ceremony of Duke Anguo. Officials of the imperial government will pay their condolences according to the ceremony, and urgently recruit the current governor of the Andes, Gu Yalun, to return to Beijing for the funeral...

Gu Yalun is the eldest son of Duke An Guo. He will inherit the dukedom of An Guo, the fiefs of Duke Guo and all the farm wealth, and will be the next first-class Duke An Guo.

If such a big thing happens, the position of governor will definitely be untenable.
