Wild North America 1846

Chapter 360 Establishment of the Great Tang Empire
"Invite Your Majesty, this is a memorial to the important ministers of the kingdom to persuade His Majesty to ascend the throne. There are 137 copies in total, involving officials from all walks of life in the military, political, and economic circles, as well as the nobles of the kingdom. I beg your Majesty's order."

"What trouble are they making, just stay here!" Li Cha waved his hand with a rather troubled expression, and ordered.

According to the traditions of the Chinese dynasties, this kind of thing has to be repeated again and again, evade, repeat, and then evade until the helpless yellow robe is added to the body. This is the routine followed.

Director Zheng Yuan wisely didn't say much, and made up his mind that after leaving the palace, the group of high-ranking ministers of the kingdom who were looking forward to them should continue to persuade them to enter the table, and pile up the imperial table like snowflakes, so as to appear popular, tens of millions The people are eagerly looking forward to it!

In the end, he took out two memorials, and reported with a respectful expression; "My Wang Wenzhi's martial arts are powerful both at home and abroad, and he has expanded thousands of kilometers of territory. It is really the heart of thousands of people, and he has benefited all people. Today, the country of Mexico has been honored." Influenced by the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty, the heart of the Great Tang Kingdom, begging to be naturalized to my Great Tang Kingdom, I hereby write a letter of credence, respectfully requesting your majesty's royal approval."

"Oh... present it here." Li Cha's brows flashed with joy, and he calmly took the credential and read it.

The letter of credentials was signed by Mexican President Gonzalez and senior government cabinet officials, including Finance Minister Flamingo, Interior Minister Rodriguez, Agriculture and Development Minister Pedro, and Mexican Army Commander-in-Chief Dos Santos. It will be signed and voted by the Mexican Parliament to form a resolution belonging to Datang, and finally form this legally significant credential.

It's not easy!

It has been nearly 1849 years since the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty formally declared war on the Santayo government of Mexico on Christmas Eve in 12, which started the process of the Tang-Mexico War.

Since then, the power of the Tang Kingdom has penetrated deeply into the territory of southern Mexico, first annexing the eight northern states of Mexico, and then step by step supporting the puppet regime, infiltrating into the Mexican military, political and economic circles everywhere.

Crack down on dissidents, create social and national turmoil, and form a six-year civil war between the puppet Mexican government army controlled by the Tang Kingdom and the southern rebels.

Today
After years of hard work, there are more than 230 million Chinese immigrants in Mexico and its southern Aztec Republic, while the total number of local Mexican whites and Indians combined is not 200 million, about 175 million to 185 million.

Among them, the total population of the thirteen states controlled by Mexico is about 225 million, of which more than 160 million are Chinese, more than 65 are Mexicans, and more than 7% of the local whites mainly gather in the metropolis headed by Mexico City.

This indicates

Chinese immigrants have become the mainstream ethnic group in Mexico, accounting for about three-quarters of the population in Mexico, controlling the local political, economic and military departments. Except for Mexico City, state cities and rural manors and plantations, Chinese congressmen have occupied Mexico Four-fifths of the parliament occupies an absolute dominant position.

After 12 years, the plump fruit of Mexico has finally come to fruition, and it is finally going back to mother's arms!

"From the letter of credence presented by the State of Mexico, it can be seen that the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty educates all directions, and the barbarians worship them, just like water or even soft things, but they can be pierced by water, and Mexican ghosts are not immune to vulgarity!" Li Cha held the copy in his hand. The heavy credential, with a smile on his face, couldn't help laughing; "Hahahaha... good! This is the scene of the prosperous age."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, I also have the letter of credence requested by the President of the Aztec Republic, Ribera-Rodriguez, and I implore His Majesty for your permission." Director Zheng Yuan presented a copy of the credential again as if offering a treasure. Book.

King Li Cha couldn't help raising his brows, and took the letter of credence and read it carefully. The joy on his face became even stronger, and he burst out laughing loudly...

In the seven states of the Aztec Republic further south, the population of Chinese immigrants is close to 7, and the local Mexicans are about 70 million. The army, major economic lifelines and towns are all controlled by Chinese immigrants.

The president of the Aztec Republic, Ribera Rodriguez, is a puppet president supported by the Tang Kingdom. Apart from being able to command a small number of presidential guards around him, the country’s 1.6-strong army only obeys Chang’an’s orders, not at all. He is the president's command.

This situation has been going on for five or six years.

In the past five or six years, a large number of Chinese immigrants have poured into the seven states of the Aztec Republic, and under the partial protection of the army, they quickly gained dominance in the local area.

President Ribera-Rodriguez is finally a person with a bit of winking. He knows that the Tang Kingdom is eyeing him, and it is impossible for the family to keep this small independent land in the south.

It's better to close your eyes, grit your teeth and sacrifice it, and earn a hereditary noble from the kingdom back, even if you bear the infamy of a traitor, it's worth it.

Looking at the two credentials, one on the left and one on the right, Li Cha was really satisfied.

The following bureaucrats speculate on the holy will. They are often instilled with the idea of ​​North American unification like the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Mexico.

Whether it is Mexico or the Aztec Republic, they are all extremely influential regional powers in Central and North America. Their weight is not the same as that of Panama, which is only a little bit bigger. It is certainly not something that a few earls and nobles can dismiss thing.

At least... two dukes with foreign surnames must be rewarded to go out.

In this way

With the addition of the yellow robe, ascension to the throne has become a major event that cannot be avoided.

Fortunately, the Republic of Mexico and the Aztec Republic have been naturalized one after another, and the Tang Kingdom has both face and face, and enough glory and merit. It is logical to complete the transition from the Datang Kingdom to the Datang Empire, and truly reach the pinnacle of glory.

All is ready except for the opportunity,
After three invitations and three rejections, Li Cha followed suit, choosing an auspicious day to burn incense and worship ancestors, and to ascend to the throne of God under the congratulations of all people, which is just a series of cumbersome etiquette procedures.

The ancients said: The major events of the country are the sacrifices and the Rong.

It is not a trivial matter for the founding emperor to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. Fortunately, the Tang Kingdom has long been prepared for this. The Daming Palace is ready-made, as are the altars of heaven and earth, and the emperor's ceremonial guards and royal chariots are all ready-made. There are not many things missing. many.

You just need to choose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, pray to your ancestors, and wear a yellow robe to receive congratulations from officials and people.

So after three requests and three rejections, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Viscount Liu Xianjun, led hundreds of officials and thousands of people to kneel in front of the Daming Palace, begging His Majesty the King to comply with the public opinion and ascend the throne.

Therefore, King Li Cha couldn't bear to cool down the ardent expectations of hundreds of officials and thousands of people, so he reluctantly agreed to the request.

Afterwards, there was a tsunami of cheers inside and outside the Daming Palace, and many people shouted with tears in their eyes; "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live... Long live the Tang Empire, long live, long live!"

The auspicious day for the Enthronement Ceremony was selected on the seventh day of the seventh month. Envoys from various countries, court officials, and tens of thousands of gentry representatives participated in the ceremony of praying for the heaven and the earth at the Longevity Hill of the Daming Palace.

at the ceremony
60 elephants, more than a hundred ligers, brown bears and other ferocious beasts lined up on both sides of the altar road. The official boarded the altar on the top of Longevity Mountain.

The drums and trumpets sounded together, and the fairy music fluttered.

After boarding the altar, more than 20 huge bald eagles hovered around the altar with flower baskets in their mouths and sprinkled countless petals. This spectacle is spectacular.

On the altar, Li Cha read out prayers to the heavens, burned incense to worship the ancestors, announced the establishment of the Great Tang Empire, and then followed the cumbersome etiquette requirements one by one, until noon to announce the completion of the ceremony.

In an instant, 108 gun salutes roared, and firecrackers blared throughout Chang'an City. The folks held a joyful parade and lion and dragon dance activities, and the national holiday celebrated with the sky for five days.
