Chapter 653 Multiculturalism

"Ouch..."

A hoarse scream of pain came, and the commander-in-chief of the Cuban rebel army, Agramonte, screamed with a twisted face. He was severely kicked by the imperial officer's big iron-toed leather boots and his ribs were broken. He lay on the dirt ground as if

Like a dead dog.

It happened a few days ago

The Tang Empire pretended to notify the leaders of the Cuban rebel army that it was willing to conduct in-depth discussions on the composition and political charter of the new government to lay the foundation for the establishment of a new government of national autonomy, so extensive solicitation of opinions was required.

The leaders and backbones of the rebel armies in various provinces of Cuba all gathered together, enjoying the luxurious manors and delicious food of the Spanish colonists in major cities, and excitedly planning for the future ideal country.

Unexpectedly, the insidious imperialists of the Tang Dynasty suddenly launched an attack. At the same time, they concentrated military police in major towns including Santiago and Havana to arrest and suppress the unsuspecting Cuban rebels. The situation suddenly changed.

These wolf-like soldiers and policemen of the Tang Empire not only captured the unsuspecting Cuban rebels, but also quickly expanded the scope of arrests through severe interrogation, affecting the families and other people of the rebels.

Dark clouds descended across Cuba and Puerto Rico. Thousands of people were arrested and brutally suppressed. More than 20,000 rebels were disarmed and secretly transported to the silver mines of Mexico to perform hard labor.

In just a few days

The freedom movement of the native white people and indigenous Indians in Cuba suffered a devastating blow, and the entire island was enveloped in bloody suppression. The Tang Empire showed its ruthless and ruthless side.

The Cuban insurrectionists, led by Agramonte, never imagined;

The Tang Empire, which had supported Cuba's independence and freedom movement for more than 10 years, suddenly changed its face and carried out a devastating blow to the local rebels in Cuba, turning from a long-term ally into an executioner.

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

"Bah... a bunch of idiots, pull them out and kill them." The officer spat contemptuously and waved his hand to the soldiers.

The wolf-like soldiers rushed up, pushed Agramont and dozens of other rebel leaders together, and then quickly turned and left.

not far from them

It was a row of heavily armed imperial soldiers who obeyed the officer's command and raised their rifles in unison, pointing the black muzzles at the rebel leaders.

Agramont's mouth was full of blood, and he looked at his companions with desperate and crazy eyes and said;

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

May our descendants remember that the evil Tang imperialists are Cuba’s eternal enemies, and we must continue to fight against them..."

The officer who was raising his hand to give the order to fire heard his words and immediately became happy and said with contempt;

"Since you haven't given up yet, let me tell you good news. The new Governor of Cuba, Duke Caledon Frech, has issued the latest order;

All colonial male populations with non-imperial household registration were prohibited from marrying, purchasing property, owning land and shops, recruiting workers, moving across town-level jurisdictions, holding public office, enrolling in the army, and forming and participating in societies.

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

Congratulations... welcome to Cuba Province, the new colony of the Tang Empire, and go on your journey with peace of mind!

Soldiers, fire!"

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

He knew that Cuba was finished and that the native whites and native Indians fighting for freedom had no hope.

What does prohibiting marriage mean?

In just a dozen years, when this generation of Cubans gradually gets older, all history and inheritance will be interrupted, and Cuba will have no future.

And those Chinese immigrants who flock in will embrace Cuban women, build families and pass on the family line, multiplying authentic Chinese cultural heritage, and the world will change...

"Bah, bah, bah... bah, bah, bah..."

A series of crisp volleys of gunshots rang out, and blood shot out from the bodies of these unwilling Cuban rebels, who trembled and fell to death in the dense rain of bullets.

Who is this new Governor of Cuba, Duke Caledon de Freche?

He is the eldest son of Field Marshal Harry Fritch (posthumously), the former Deputy Chief of Army Staff, who has passed away due to illness. He inherits the title of First Class Lord Protector and the fiefdom.

He is the confidant of His Royal Highness Tang Li Kun, Prince of Pingnan. In his early years, he followed His Highness the Seventh Prince to study at the Emeline Palace in Berlin for several years. He has been with His Highness the Seventh Prince for more than 20 years. He is a military veteran who is proficient in Chinese and foreign history and humanities.

Will.

Since the province of Cuba was conquered by King Pingnan, it was logical for his confidant general to serve as the governor of Cuba.

The governor of the Luzon Islands is Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei. He is also engraved with the seal of the eleventh prince, Pingxi Prince Tang-His Royal Highness Li Xin, which is deeply imprinted and cannot be erased 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 this year

The first class Lord Protector, Marshal Harry Fritch, the First Class Duke Gonzalez, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Juan Carlos, the former Minister of Finance, Count Chen Cailiang and other heavyweight founding heroes passed away successively.

People are replaced by new people.

Marshal Dai Changfu, the Chief of Staff of the Army, also resigned from his military post due to his frail health. This inevitably led to a change of power in the military.

The new chief of army staff is Marshal Mai Xiaozu, a veteran military general who showed his prowess in the Colombian colonial war.

The wheels of history are rolling forward...

Roaring on the royal patent in the wilderness

Richard, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was already 50 years old, could hardly see the shadow of time on his body. He still looked as handsome and calm as a man in his twenties, but the invisible imperial power on his body became stronger and stronger.

He has three major tasks during this southern tour:

The first was to participate in the grand ceremony for the official opening of the Nicaragua Canal on August 8, 1878. At that time, dignitaries from all over the Americas and Europe gathered. It was also a large-scale diplomatic event.

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

There is no doubt that this will be the highlight moment in the development of the Tang Empire to this day, establishing the Tang Empire's status as the hegemon of the Americas and the world's first-class power in terms of form and system.

The third is to inspect the New Columbia Colony. This colonial area has been in our hands for so many years. How about taking a look at the transformation of the fairy tale?

What advanced colonial experience can be summarized?

Are there any lessons to be learned from the shortcomings?

Are there any areas that need to be improved?

As a diligent and wise monarch, these ministers never dare to slack off, running at high speed like a top struck by a whip, managing a huge empire.

It has been 32 years since he ascended the throne. Emperor Richard has been able to manage this huge empire with ease. The officials have governed the country in a clear and bright manner, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. It is not without reason that he is unanimously respected as "His Majesty the Holy Emperor" by the subjects of the Tang Empire.

The train roared forward, and Richard looked through the window at the beautiful scenery that was constantly retreating outside. Even with his good patience, he was tired of riding the train.

It has been 26 days since we drove all the way south from Chang'an, the imperial capital, passing through several cities for brief inspections and rest stops, and it will take more than 10 days to reach our destination in Huwan City, Central Plains Province.

The territory of the empire is so large that it takes more than 20 days to take a train from west to east, and more than 40 days to take a train from north to south (note: the train is not direct, and you have to change stations, change trains, stop and avoid oncoming traffic along the way)

, and this is just reaching the southern tip of Colombia.

The Pacific Railway that runs through the north and south has not yet been completely completed. Nowadays, the railway lines in Peru are under construction in full swing, with a view to connecting the south to the central railway line under construction in the Andes Governor's Palace to the north.

Judging from the current project construction status, it will take about two and a half years, and the entire railway construction period will be about 4 and a half to 5 years.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the carriage, Emperor Richard looked up and saw that it was the white-haired General Liu Wu (Liu Wu), commander of the Royal Guards, who walked into the royal box and gave a respectful salute; "

Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the train will enter Mexico City in more than an hour, and the governor of the southern region and the chief executives of the southern provinces are already waiting for your Majesty's instructions."

"Well, let the train stop at the platform for two hours, and let them come up one by one to see you. Each person will have five minutes."

"The humble minister obeys the decree."

Seeing General Liu Wu, who could not hide his old age, leave with a respectful expression, Emperor Richard sighed in his heart.

He wanted to get close to these old ministers, but it made them more and more frightened, so he had no choice but to do it.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, Gu, I, His Majesty the Holy Emperor who has been deified. Who dares to sit with him?

Scenes of past events flowed through my mind as if they were just yesterday, not far apart.

But looking at the people around him getting older one by one, Emperor Richard couldn't help but lament that time flies by and the years are gone.

But his health was in excellent condition, and he did not feel any significant decline in his physical fitness. He was still full of energy.

In the compartment of the royal train, he could still watch several girls at night. The emperor's eldest son to the emperor's seventh son were already in their thirties, and the emperor's sixty-first son was just born.

After thinking wildly for a while, Emperor Richard looked out the window. The scene outside the car window had changed greatly.

Large tracts of farmland and villages have disappeared, replaced by dense and tall urban buildings. Some high-rise buildings with a height of more than ten stories have risen from the ground, highlighting the majestic size of this southern metropolis of Mexico City.

more than 20 years

Mexico City has developed into an important town in the south, with a population of 1.47 million, the fifth largest city in the empire, of which Chinese people account for more than 86%. Catholic churches and Spanish-style buildings can be seen everywhere in the city, showing the unique charm of this southern metropolis.

.

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

Mexico City is a southern metropolis with great characteristics.

In Emperor Richard's long-term plan

The future Mexico City will be a metropolis integrating tourism, culture, southern economic center and religious features. With the rescue and discovery of Indian culture as the main line, it is one of the important puzzle pieces of the diverse empire.

Of course

We cannot advocate these policies now, but must vigorously suppress and assimilate, focusing on severe suppression and brutal exploitation, and gradually increase the population proportion of the Chinese ethnic group.

The policy of rescuing and discovering culture will have to be implemented at least at the beginning of the next century. It depends on the situation, but it must be implemented.

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

Therefore, the last sentence is the purpose.
