In the jungle densely covered the Indochina Peninsula, layers of ancient trees cover the entire land in northern Cambodia. The huge shadows of trees swaying in the middle of the night are even more bizarre under the care of the moonlight, and the howlings of wild beasts from time to time are even more terrifying.

This is the Shangding area in northern Cambodia, and most of them are inhabited by Laos. Cambodia's mountain jungle country is sparsely populated, with borders, central government control and Central Plains.

After Cambodia was completely reduced to France's protection country and the French lacked interest in this country, the Shangding region became even more separated from the rule of the Cambodian central government and became the territory of the Lao Mountain Infantry Regiment half a year ago.

The Mekong River reflects a strange beauty in the spotty moonlight falling through the gaps of huge leaves.

On the grass by the river, three generals and a civil servant were squatting or sitting, circled around a map in the moonlight. The three generals were wearing various military uniforms, including the dark blue military uniforms of the Royal Chinese Army, the grass green military uniforms of the Lao government army, and the camouflage military uniforms unique to the Lao Mountain Regiment.

The general in his fifties, wearing a dark blue Chinese Royal Army officer's gown, had the highest rank, shiny silver epaulette, and on both sides of the army emblem with the crossing of the sword, the sun, moon and stars, had three silver bars on each side of the army emblem with the crossing of the sun, moon and stars.

He is Feng Zicai, commander of the Joint Command of the China-Vietnam-Laos Army, and is also the general advisor of the Lao (Laos) government forces.

The Joint Command of the China-Vietnam-Laos Army is located in Hue. Its main task is to coordinate the order of the Indochina Peninsula. Its troops are composed of a Chinese infantry division, a Lao infantry brigade and a Vietnamese infantry division, plus a subsequent logistics personnel, with a total of more than 30,000 people. At the same time, under the authorization of the Lao King and the Vietnamese King, the headquarters can also mobilize all government armed forces in Vietnam and Laos.

In addition to Feng Zicai, the generals who discussed the matter on the riverside also included Ye Shande, the commander of the mountain group, Songshan, the admiral of the Laotian New Army, and Dang Heng, the special adviser of the Laotian king. In addition to these four people, there was also an interpreter on the side.

Dang Heng was the fifth-generation grandson of the Chongya Gangge Lao of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He was a scholarly family and had a background in studying abroad. He liked to study the Central and Southern languages. He was just in his thirties and was originally the deputy envoy of the Lao embassy, ​​but he was valued by the Lao king and hired as a special consultant to serve him.

Ye Shande, the commander of the Lao Mountain Infantry Regiment, was a member of the Laolong clan of Laos. He was cruel and murderous. After becoming a Chinese nationality, he named Shande. He was later given the surname Ye and was highly favored. He was summoned by the queen. He then asked the Chinese translator to copy it. He used a dagger to engrave the word "loyalty" in his heart. The natives were grateful and could only express their loyalty and loyalty.

It is inevitable that all officers and soldiers of the Mountain Infantry Regiment will switch to Chinese names by changing to Chinese nationality, but in fact, it is in Laos. Now Zhongyuan has become the official language, and Zhongyuan characters have become official language.

The three major ethnic groups in Laos, the Laosong ethnic group in the north, migrated from Hunan, Yunnan and other places hundreds of years ago. According to later ethnic groups, they are Miao, Yao and other ethnic groups. However, in fact, it is difficult to divide some ethnic groups now. Generally speaking, when it comes to ethnic groups, they are mostly called by place names.

Lao Song people always use simple Chinese characters as their own words, while Lao Long people are greatly influenced by Myanmar and Thailand, forming their own unique characters. Another large clan old listeners also have no words.

In Laos, under the intervention of King Tianda, the Central Plains texts are comprehensively promoted.

The Lao king Tianda is actually the split king of Luang Prabang in northern Laos, which is what China calls the Nanzhang king. With the support of the Chinese, he unified the divided Lao tribes.

In fact, if it were not for the arrival of Western colonists, Vietnam and Thailand would have been competing for hegemony of the Indochina Peninsula. A unified Lao country that is extremely close to the Central Plains appears on the Indochina Peninsula, which is also a balance for the future situation in the Indochina Peninsula.

In the Southeast Alliance conceived by Ye Zhao, the interests of various countries must be considered. There is no contradiction between small countries, especially Southeast Asian countries. How to balance such contradictions is an art. It cannot require all countries to be united in one heart, but it is enough to stand firm in the same position in the major festivals.

Tianda, the lord of the small county of Luang Prabang, has now unified the entire Laos. He doesn't need to mention his gratitude to the Chinese. He has also had some knowledge. He has also been to the Central Plains, took the train, and saw the prosperity of the Central Plains and the progress of science. He was naturally shocked and keenly realized that, as the consultant Dang Heng said, if he could maintain the same language as the Central Plains, he could rely on the Central Plains to the greatest extent and become part of the Central Plains economic circle, which played an incalculable role in the future prosperity of Laos. Therefore, he quickly ordered that the Central Plains text be designated as the only official language in Laos. In terms of language, he promoted the learning of Central Plains dialect, especially the officials and nobles, who should take the lead in speaking Central Plains dialect.

The phonetic symbol practice method promoted by Zhongyuan also makes it easier to promote Zhongyuan dialect.

In fact, there is a widespread phenomenon of promoting the learning of the Central Plains dialect among the Southeast countries. There is no need to say that North Korea has the official text. The Central Plains text is its official text, and Vietnam is the same. The Central Plains text has an unshakable position among the people. More than 20 years ago, the Vietnamese king asked the previous dynasty Emperor Daoguang to issue the "Kangxi Dictionary" to Vietnam so that the locals can learn Chinese. Vietnamese envoys, every time they go to Guangzhou, they have to buy several ships of Central Plains books for their kings, and even pornographic books that are banned by China have become treasures.

It was just that the mentality of the Celestial Empire was that the previous dynasty felt that learning Chinese characters were ridiculous and even harming the country of the dynasty, so they often disdained it.

However, the New Dynasty did not have such a lot of arrogant behaviors, but helped countries learn the Central Plains characters. Of course, although with phonetic symbols, the Central Plains characters are still difficult to learn, and it is difficult to eliminate illiteracy in speaking the Central Plains language, let alone the commoners and language schools of North Korea, Vietnam and other countries, which are also facing the upper class and elite class.

Laos is the most thorough, with words and even languages ​​beginning to be fully centralized.

This is the case with the new Lao army admiral Songshan. Its original name was Chahechai. I heard that there were five mountains in China and Songshan, so I took Songshan as my name.

Nowadays, Feng Zicai, Ye Shande, Songshan and Dang Heng are four people, who are holding maps of the Mekong River Basin, and several people are discussing the attack on Phnom Penh.

Yesterday, he received a secret telegram from Empress Su, saying that "it can help Cambodia's King Norodom expel the French."

Feng Zicai began to make arrangements without saying a word. As a representative of the Chinese military officer in the Indochina Peninsula, he had long been trying to fight the French.

As for Ye Shande and Songshan, they had never seen the means of Europeans. They only knew that the Central Plains were powerful and that the French were completely fearless.

The telegraph line in the Shangding area was built from the Vietnamese port to the east. There was no way. There was no way to go. The dense forests of the north were densely forested and the telegraph line was very difficult to get from Yunnan and Laos capitals.

This attack on Phnom Penh will be completed independently by the mountain regiment. The New Lao Army will draw a battalion to assist, and it is claimed to be the Lao government forces invited by the Cambodian king. This diplomatic dispute also gives China room to maneuver.

Feng Zicai was explaining military discipline to Ye Shande and Songshan, especially the Lao Mountain Group. Feng Zicai was quite worried. These fierce and wild mountain people were actually not much different from wild people. Perhaps due to customs, they would not take it seriously. Brutality is cruel, and it is too wild. How to maintain its fierceness and make its orders move like a mountain is a problem that Feng Zicai has been solving.

While talking, two people came over from the woods. It was Kensal, the secret envoy of King Norodom of Cambodia and Liang Chongyue, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had been in contact with Kensal and would appear as the special advisor of the King of Cambodia in the future.

Since being appointed as the commander of the Indochina Peninsula Command, Feng Zicai's secret contact with King Norodom has never been interrupted.

Kensaler was a short, dark man. Before he got close, he asked loudly in surprise: "Mr. Feng, is it true? Are you going to expel those hateful French guys?"

Seeing Feng Zicai nodding slightly, Kensal was so excited that he could not express his feelings. He clasped his hands together and murmured to pray to the sky.

At this time, rafts were thrown into the water by the river. The black-skinned warriors wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying rifles jumped onto the raft and boats, and paddled along the water to the south.

Kensal held his hands in front of his chest, suppressing his excitement. He suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around and asked, "Sir, why didn't the Shangbang Tianjun?" Indeed, these soldiers in camouflage uniforms were dark-skinned and short, and they were still somewhat different from those of the Central Plains. There was only a vaguely rated official on more than a dozen rows of rafts. It seemed that they were instructors.

Feng Zicai looked at the rows of rafts swimming down and said lightly: "They are also imperial soldiers." He didn't say the following words, it was already a waste of talent.

According to information, the French used five small gunboats to conquer Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and no more than 200 armed sailors. The same armed forces conquered all the tribes in Cambodia that dared to resist. Now in Phnom Penh, there are about 100 French soldiers.

More than a hundred French soldiers, even if they armed their merchants, were counted, about 200 armed personnel. If half of the imperial infantry regiment could not be easily handled, wouldn’t that be a joke?

This contest is about the follow-up, not the beginning.

...

While the raft full of Lao infantry soldiers was heading south along the stream, Ye Zhao was having dinner with US President Johnson.

In a sexy evening dress, Christina sat next to Ye Zhao, playing Ye Zhao's girlfriend. In fact, she hadn't seen Ye Zhao for several days.

This is the restaurant of the Regent, and you can enjoy court dishes such as "Baked Bear Paw" and "Si Treasures" from China.

Ye Zhao raised a full cup of Qiong Liquid and gently signaled to Johnson. Johnson smiled and raised his glass.

Ye Zhao said: "It's a pity that it's very cool. The taste is less delicious. When will the President go to China, you can try all the oriental food."

Johnson smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go to the East." His smile was faintly bitter.

Yes, because he repeatedly compromised with the South and rejected the bill to ban the Klan Klan and give black men ten times. The radicals in the Republican Party are already planning to slap him. Even if he can barely pass the presidency, he will not get a party nomination at all, let alone the election of the election. Not to mention the success of the election, it is foreseeable that he has only been struggling for a year in the presidency. Why are he talking about going to the East?

Thinking of his own destiny, and thinking about the supreme authority of the Eastern Emperor opposite and his lifelong rule over the empire, he is also the highest head of state, and his status is one heaven and one earth.

Why didn't Johnson feel very moved?

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. President, I have always distinguished my personal feelings and politics very clearly. I don't agree with many of your claims, such as the KKKKKK. I think we must firmly ban it, but this does not prevent you from becoming my friend. When you get off the position of president, I will formally invite you to visit China."

Yesterday, when the two met for the first time, Johnson had already experienced Ye Zhao's strength. This Eastern giant was truly bold and did not have any polite clichés to criticize his own policies. And when he invited himself, this is Eastern philosophy, right? Use making friends to maintain political relations, rather than cold politics of interest.

When the two chatted, Christina stopped her hands and listened quietly. Looking at the man who was confident in front of the president of her country, Christina's heart was intoxicated. Over the days, she gradually heard about many things about Ye Zhao. The Iron Blood Royal Family led her personal army to launch an epic and magnificent war of unity. His huge empire in the East, no one dared to go against its front. He was extremely gentle on weekdays, and with a command, there was a torrent of millions of loyal soldiers, crushing all the resistance forces. Even if the opponent was a country, it would be wiped out in an instant.

Such a person actually exists in reality, and sitting next to her, imagining the unparalleled style of this man, Christina gradually became immersed.

After dinner, the waiter brought fruit tea. Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Mr. President, I am also paying attention to the situation in Mexico. In my opinion, this is a very difficult problem."

Johnson was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's opinion."

Mexico, when the Civil War in the United States broke out, in order to suppress the United States and occupy the Mexican market and silver mines, Napoleon III supported Maximilian, a member of the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty, to become emperor in Mexico and establish the Second Mexican Empire.

President Monroe of the United States proposed the quite famous Monroeism forty years ago. In a sense, it regards America as its own sphere of influence. Of course, because of its weak national strength and the political views of domestic parties have been evolving, this is not a coherent policy.

However, the US federal government expressed strong dissatisfaction with the support of French Emperor Napoleon III and Spanish Queen Isabel, during the Civil War. After the end of the civil war, it immediately began to provide armed forces to the Mexican Republicans. At the beginning of this year, another 50,000 soldiers were sent to the US-Mexico border to put pressure on France and provide supplies to the republicans.

Not long ago, French soldiers withdrew from Mexico, and the Mexican Republic began to attack the royalists with all their might. Mexican queen Carlota went to Europe to ask for assistance. She lobbied all the way in Paris, Vienna, and Rome, but ended up hitting a nail. I heard that I wanted to stay in Europe, but was called back to Mexico by Maximilian's lovely letter.

The fierce battle between the Mexican Republicans and the royalists is at the most critical moment, and the North American colonies under the British suddenly announced the establishment of the Canadian Federation.

The Canadian Federation, like the earliest thirteen states in the United States, was a British North American colony, but most immigrants from the upper and lower Canada remained loyal to the British monarch, and the colonies in one part of Canada were also regarded by Britain as the most important fortress to curb American influence.

After the United States' independence, confidence began to expand, because the Americans believed that the Canadians were waiting to be liberated by them, but they were ruthlessly attacked by Canadian militias, which caused the British and American war more than 50 years ago. There was no doubt that the Americans lost. However, Britain was leading the entire Europe to fight against Napoleon at that time, and had no time to focus most of its energy on this "small battle" they thought. Despite this, the British Royal Navy conquered Washington and burned the official residence of the US president.

This is also the only time in American history that the capital was occupied by foreign teams.

Of course, many local battles on the land battlefield Americans also won victory, and finally the two sides signed a peace treaty hastily signed. The British Army regarded the war as a small-scale conflict and did not conduct in-depth discussions on its own failures. These failures were concealed by the unprecedented achievements of the Duke of Wellington's victory over Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo.

After the war, the colonies in Canada remained their original appearance. Canadians were more loyal to the British Empire and more hostile to the Americans. Now the establishment of the Canadian Dominion is to fight against the unified United States after the Civil War.

Therefore, neither the southern or northern borders of the United States can be peaceful, and the British have ambiguous attitudes towards the Mexican royal family. If they also recognize the legitimacy of Massimirino I, it will be a major setback for the United States to implement Monroeism.

Therefore, when Ye Zhao talked about the situation in Mexico, President Johnson was excited and expressed his interest in listening to Ye Zhao's views.

Johnson has never known that this Eastern Emperor has always been a master of breaking the deadlock.

At this time, while tasting the fragrant tea, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The name of the Mexican Republican leader is Juarez, right?" He also felt strange when he said this name. In the history textbook of elementary and junior high school, Juarez was promoted as a famous hero and a hero against colonial rule. But now, he feels that he just regards him as a pawn, and the contrast is touching.

Johnson nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Juarez is a revolutionary with noble sentiment."

Ye Zhao said: "I hope to end my visit to San Francisco and go to Mexico to adjust the war between the two sides, prompting the two sides to resolve the dispute peacefully, and persuade Mr. Masimirano to give up his illegal throne and leave Mexico."

Ye Zhao was of course happy to see that Mexico was successful, and who would not be interested in its silver ore or resources? This is also the reason why the United States began to incite colonial independence one after another after its strong state. Because it was ruled by colonial countries, trade was completely monopolized by its suzerain state, and emerging industrial countries could not get involved at all.

For the entire America, especially North America, because the Panama Canal has not been opened, although European merchant ships traveled everywhere in the eastern trading port, the western port is another world. Trading with the western America is the farthest place that Chinese caravans can reach today. The waters of Malacca were completely controlled by the British, and even merchant ships traveled very inconvenient. Moreover, there is no shadow of the Chinese navy west of Malacca, and the safety of merchant ships is really impossible to guarantee.

Now, taking advantage of the stalemate of the civil war to mediate and establishing good relations with the Mexican Republican government is a prerequisite for future trade with Mexico.

A trace of thought flashed across Johnson's eyes. As the heir to the Monroeists, he naturally did not want the emerging Eastern Empire to come to America to expand its influence. Although it was just mediation, it could not be difficult to imagine. But the situation in the Mexican civil war is extremely unclear. The longer it delays, the greater the possibility of the British intervening. Under the mediation of the Chinese, if Massimireno I was willing to give up the imperial power and leave Mexico, it would naturally be the best result.

Johnson didn't believe that the Chinese could successfully mediate. Will the Mexican royalists surrender for no reason?

After thinking for a while, Johnson smiled and said, "I am happy to see His Majesty's support for the Mexican Republicans. I will also arrange a meeting between diplomatic officials and Mr. Juares as soon as possible to create the best mediation conditions for you." Of course, it is a delaying strategy. Think tanks will evaluate the pros and cons and make a decision at that time. If you want to refuse the Chinese intervention, you only need to refuse on the grounds that there is no reconciliation condition.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly. Ye Zhao didn't want to make him feel comfortable with the development of Americans, but this naturally requires obscureness and obscureness. At least, he cannot dominate the North and South American continents.

In the long run, Europe has many powerful countries and will be very busy fighting for European hegemony. The United States' unique geographical conditions make it possible for it to grow into a powerful country that can compete with China in the Pacific, so it is inevitable to weaken it intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, today, China is striving for opportunities for free trade in the Americas, and Americans will inevitably understand this way, and the Chinese are also very respecting the wishes of Americans. After all, Mexico is not a colony of the United States, and the Chinese emperor is willing to mediate or even support one party, so there is no need to inform them in advance.

Although the Americans proposed the Monroeism, their national strength was limited. In fact, even the declining European aristocrats like Spain never thought of abiding by the rules of the game set by the Americans.

However, the Chinese, its Foreign Minister Zou Kaizhi clearly expressed his support for Americans' interests in the Americas, and was also the country that was most friendly to the United States among the world's powers.

Therefore, when President Johnson said goodbye, he couldn't help but express his gratitude to Ye Zhao, and said that he would re-sincerely consider the bill to ban the KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Ye Zhao smiled and said nothing.
