Chapter 53 Tianyin(1/2)
The leader of the Mexican Republican Republican, Juarez, is an old man in his sixties. Because Mexico's mother tongue gradually became Spanish because of the long-term Spanish colonial rule, Juarez's English was also fluent. Ye Zhao communicated with him and had a translation, but Ye Zhao sometimes directly expressed his views in English. Nowadays, the confident Chinese emperor did not have the mentality of speaking English to you, just like my mother tongue was in a weak position. Instead, this was a manifestation of knowledge. After all, the temporary Spanish translation sometimes did not understand the intentions in Ye Zhao's dialect.
Huares was surprised by the knowledgeable and talented Chinese emperor. This young and powerful emperor was far beyond Huares' imagination.
The meeting between the two was in the conference room of the Regent. They savored fragrant tea from faraway China. Juarez explained his proposal, hoping to send Masimireno to the military court for trial.
Ye Zhao listened quietly and said, "Massimireno will announce his abdication on the Regent. This war ended in a peaceful way. I believe it can withstand the test of history. Moreover, it is also a clear message for the independent and free Mexicans to start a new life. Compared with bloody killings and tolerant treatment of dissidents, it is a sign of the maturity of a country and nation. I believe that the forgiveness of Masimireno will also make Mexicans widely respected in the civilized world."
Juarez fell into deep thought.
Ye Zhao said again: "I would like to congratulate the Mexican people on their independence and freedom. I am also very happy to see the birth of an independent Mexico. Our country is willing to engage in equal and independent friendly trade with the Mexican country. In the East, the mysterious American peppers and tobacco are very popular. The Mexican Eagle Ocean was once a hard currency circulating in our financial market and was once the target of imitation of silver coins in our country. Our country is also very happy to buy Mexican silver to allocate silver reserves. I believe that the economic and trade relations between you and me will become closer and closer, and both countries will benefit from it."
"President Juarez, I am very happy to see the everlasting friendship between the two countries." Ye Zhao's last footnote with this sentence, and the rest of the matters must be left to Zou Kaizhi to discuss. Ye Zhao only needs to explain his own views and will not discuss or even debate with him.
The next day, the Regent left La Paz, and the Fengtian and several coal transport ships accompanied him, and the route was directed to Honolulu in the northwest.
The Beijing ship went south to Colinto to deal with disputes between Chinese merchants and Nicaraguans; while Zou Kaizhi met with Juarez, he also sent an envoy to Colinto with the Beijing ship. The Beijing ship will carry Zou Kaizhi and other civil servants back to the east.
Nicaragua is located in Central America. At the beginning of this century, the American national independence movement was rising. Forty years ago, five Central Americans, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, declared independence from Spanish rule, and then established the Central American Federation, but soon disintegrated.
Ten years ago, American adventurer Volker usurped the presidential position of Nicaragua, triggering a free movement in the five countries, and the five Central American countries jointly expelled Americans.
Therefore, the five Central American countries are very wary of Americans and adopt conservative policies.
Ye Zhao didn't want to go to Central America to avoid irritating Americans. Who knew that Chinese businessmen in San Francisco heard that Nicaragua was full of gold mountains and no one developed it, so he hired an American guide to go to the west coast port of Colinto, Nicaragua, and was detained by the Nicaraguans.
Although Ye Zhao returned, he also explained in detail how the officials would handle this matter. If they could handle it safely, it would be an opportunity. There is great potential for developing trade relations with the five Central American countries, especially the mining of gold and silver mountains.
Compared with Europeans and Americans, Central American residents must be less wary of the Chinese.
Ye Zhao did not go to Nicaragua in person, and firstly, he did not need to be condescending to this matter; secondly, it would not cause a fierce reaction from the Americans.
The British once tried to control the five countries of China and the United States, which aroused a strong backlash from the Americans. Of course, the British had colonial policies and armed occupation and supported the establishment of the Central American kingdom. At that time, the United States implemented the Monroe route, and because the Canadian region had just fought a war with the British, they naturally felt that this was a provocation by Britain to it.
The Regent passed through Honolulu, Guam and other supply points. After more than a month of sailing, he entered the China Sea and went north to moor in Nagasaki.
It was already early July. The news that the Emperor visited the United States on the Regent had already been reported in newspapers from Southeast countries. Nagasaki Pier was crowded with people, and the people welcomed the Emperor's visit with bunches of flowers and Chinese and Japanese flags. When Ye Zhao appeared on the deck gangway, it immediately caused a tsunami cheer.
In recent years, Nagasaki has developed very fast. Of course, it depends largely on the inclination of Chinese policies to create a model port. Ordinary people will not think too much about it. The improvement of living standards and freedom of speech and thoughts. Nagasaki people experience the rights that citizens of the Central Plains can enjoy. Almost no one will be obsessed with the past. Not only Nagasaki, but the entire Kyushu Island, the color of pro-China has become extremely strong.
As the base camp of the Grand Commander Hosokawa Shaobu, it has always been closest to trade with China. Kyushu Island is also the most stable political situation in the *** country, and has gradually become the most prosperous area in the *** country.
On the other hand, Honshu Island and Shikoku Island are full of daimyos, each with its own taxes and laws. The circulation of goods is extremely poor, so it is even harder to say that the development of industry and commerce is developing.
Not to mention Hokkaido, the Hokkaido is all ethnic groups and the base camp of hatred. It was originally a barren land. After China's trade with it, it became even more scattered. Some people smuggled back to their states. Now, the so-called Hokkaido Republic has become a farce.
Ye Zhao stayed in Nagasaki China Hotel and slept comfortably before he ordered the guards to send telegrams from all over the place.
A telegram from Zou Kaizhi sent back to China from San Francisco. Now Zou Kaizhi and the Beijing ship are already on the way back. A month ago, the Sino-Mexico Trade Treaty was signed, and China and Mexico each set up consulates in each other's capitals and opened ports to trade with each other.
However, like the United States, even the largest port on Mexico's west coast, Manzanillo, has quite insufficient port conditions. Therefore, the two countries signed an agreement to provide loans to expand the port.
There was another electricity, and the Nicaragua case was successfully resolved. It is said that the Chinese businessman was stranded in Nicaragua, as if he was exploring the gold mine with the Nicaraguan people.
Ye Zhao, a member of the United States, only wanted to make a trip around San Francisco, but did not want to establish diplomatic ties with Mexico and Central American countries. This can be said to be an unexpected gain.
However, Ye Zhao did not have the idea of encouraging merchants to invest in the Americas for the time being. Nowadays, Southeast countries are not developing enough in Southeast Asia, and they are too long to stretch their hands, so it is unnecessary. How much food should they eat if they have a big stomach?
When I arrived in Nagasaki yesterday, when I woke up, the Nagasaki Consulate received a telegram from Edo that the Grand Commander Hosokawa Shaobang had set off for Nagasaki.
Hosokawa Shaobang naturally came to visit Ye Zhao, but the telegram was vague, and he was worried that the emperor would return home only after staying in Nagasaki for one day. This was too boring, but he could not ask for the emperor to wait for him for two days. Therefore, it was a lot of thought to draw up the telegram.
Ye Zhao knew that Hosokawa Shaobang must have many requests. Now, let alone pro-China faction, even if they were originally hating China, who would not be jealous of Nagasaki and Kyushu Island? Not to mention how uncomfortable it would be to see the development of its neighbor North Korea.
The railway from Seoul through Pyongyang to Bongtian has been opened to traffic. It can be said that North Korea has truly integrated into China's economic circle. North Korea announced that due to the lack of silver reserves, Chinese banknotes will become North Korea's official currency starting from May this year. North Korea's newly established central bank cooperates closely with the Imperial Central Bank to exchange the required banknotes from the Imperial Central Bank every year in the form of goods for coins or low-interest loans.
This is a suggestion made by the new generation of North Korean economic talents who graduated from Royal Guangzhou University to the North Korean government and was adopted.
With the current currency-silver standard in China, the benefits of this proposal to the stability and sustainable development of the North Korean economy are obvious, so it is not difficult to obtain approval from the North Korean high-level officials. Although the North Korean economy will be completely dependent on China, in turn, the possibility of North Korea's industrial and commercial development due to its poor monetary policy will be greatly reduced.
North Korea is increasingly integrating with China. Looking at the rapid changes in North Korea, how can people not envy it?
Early in the morning, Ye Zhao also received a secret message from the country, a secret message from the Royal Military Commission, and a secret military exercise in the "Tianyin" area around Nenjiang outside the customs declaration.
The exercise was confronted by the Xiangshan Army and the First Army, plus the subsequent logistics support personnel, with a total number of participants exceeding 100,000. It is the largest live-fire military exercise since the founding of the Empire.
The exercise mainly involves the training of legion-level battles with the participation of the telephone system.
The communications corpses of several elite legions in the empire have been added to the communications corps systems. During wartime, the minimum requirement is to lay telephone lines to the battalion level, and the rest of the legions are also adding telephone soldiers.
The intervention of the telephone system has brought about major changes in the theory of the Emperor's affairs. The cooperation between divisions, regiments, battalions and other tactical units and artillery units has also undergone earth-shaking changes. In addition, the emergence of hot air balloon scouts has enriched the strategies and tactics.
Today's hot air balloon reconnaissance is a huge cable tied under the hot air balloon, fixed on a large winch, and is rotated and lifted by a soldier. The balloon is suspended under the balloon. After being taken to the sky by the balloon in the hanging basket, people can observe the distance, and can quickly transmit enemy intelligence to various units through the telephone line.
At the moment when major breakthroughs in military theory are made, conduct practical exercises to truly experience the inevitable arrival of the communication era.
At this time, the secret military exercise was named "Tianyin", and its meaning can be imagined.
Now the establishment of the Imperial ** regiment has been completely regularized. Taking the division level as an example, logistics personnel have officially entered the establishment and become one of the soldiers of the division and distributed weapons, which is no longer the previous "civilian" system.
In this way, a reorganized infantry division in the empire reached about 15,000 people.
Taking the First Infantry Division of the Xiangshan Group Army as an example, the division headquarters (198 people), the division headquarters is equipped with reconnaissance and garrison battalion (698 people), the health battalion (160 people), the engineering battalion (501 people), the transport brigade (1002 people) (709 horses and vehicles), and the communication post (101 people).
The Infantry Division has three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment.
The infantry regiment has about 100 reconnaissance posts, engineer posts, service posts, and communication posts, with three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, six or seven hundred infantry battalions, four or five hundred artillery battalions, and a total of about 4,000 infantry battalions.
The number of artillery regiments of the First Infantry Division is about 2,000 people, and more than 100 artillery pieces.
The difference between the artillery regiment and the artillery battalions under the infantry regiment is that the artillery regiments are mostly heavy artillery, while the artillery battalions under the infantry regiment are lighter, have relatively small caliber, and are also convenient for rapid transfer.
The infantry battalion under the infantry regiment has a health team, a service platoon, a communication platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, and the main combat units are three infantry sentries, one artillery sentries and one fire sentries.
The so-called fire whistle is explained in later generations, which is a heavy machine gun company. Each battalion of fire whistle is equipped with 8 people and is equipped with 8 consecutive guns.
Infantry sentry is actually equivalent to the infantry company, with a standard organization of 170 people, and the company is equipped with two kitchen squads, reconnaissance squads and sanitation personnel.
The main combat units of the infantry post are 3 infantry platoons, 1 fire platoon and 1 artillery platoon.
The artillery platoon of the infantry sentry is organized 20-30 people and equipped with 3 mortars.
The firepower rank is 20-30 people, equipped with 2 consecutive cannons.
The infantry platoon is organized into 30 people, consisting of 2 infantry squads and 1 firepower squad.
There are 11 infantry squads, squad leader, deputy squad leader and 9 soldiers. Each squad is equipped with a light bead gun (light machine gun). The deputy squad leader also serves as a light bead gun (light machine gun) operator. There are 7 firepower squads, equipped with 2 light bead guns.
The light-weight continuous bead cannon was developed by Guangzhou Ordnance Factory. It was just purchased by the Empire in large quantities and weighed 45 kilograms. It was originally a semi-automatic rifle that supplies bullets on the top, but because of the cumbersome parts, it was difficult to make the lightest, and eventually evolved into a magazine-based machine rifle that uses the standard 8mm caliber of the Empire rifle, which means that the Empire's standard rifle can be used.
The automatic principle of this light-weight beaded machine gun adopts a short-barrel retreat type, and the automatic machine has a long round trip time, so the firing rate is slow. When firing, the barrel sits back, rotates the cartridge, moves the bullet left to the inlet, and then pushes the bullet chamber by the push rod. The shell retracts the shell type, and the barrel is backward to cause the lower end of the pull shell to collide with the retracting surface of the receiver to cause rotation. The upper end lifts the shell out of the chamber and slides out of the gun from below.
The "light machine gun" weighs 45 kilograms, which makes Ye Zhao helpless, but there is no doubt that this is another milestone invention.
Although the light continuous gun is expensive, Ye Zhao still ordered the military to purchase it in large quantities.
The Xiangshan Army and the First Army have equipped the light continuous guns to the squad. It can be said that the firepower equipment of these two most elite legions in the empires is extremely terrifying.
The whole army of two armies has become mules and horses, which will not cause the equipment of its light and heavy weapons. Each infantry squad has two mules and horses, which ensures the speed and combat effectiveness of its urgent marching.
However, this exercise is obviously not testing the power of new weapons.
In the two battles, the first battle, the red and blue armies, one side equipped with a telephone, the other side did not; in the second battle, both sides equipped with a telephone.
The speed and concealment of telephone troops' wiring, the communication and coordination between divisions, regiments, battalions and artillery, the application of reconnaissance balloons, etc., are the protagonists of this battle drill.
The coordinated attack of the two armies towards a powerful imaginary enemy is the highlight of the exercise. The specially established logistics headquarters and the front line communication, and material allocation are also the focus of this campaign exercise.
The admirals of the army had a clear mind, and needed nearly 100,000 imperial soldiers to participate in the tragic battle. The current illusion of the opponent is only the powerful northern neighbor, and the generals were very concerned about this exercise. After the exercise, the two admirals of the army started arguing, calling and scolding each other, and the lawsuit was directly hit by the Royal Military Commission, and the Chief Minister Shen Bao could not suppress it. Finally, the chief judge of the "Tianyin" exercise came forward and scolded them so hard that they did not dare to blow the thorns.
In the telegram, Ye Zhao naturally didn't know these many details, and he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that the exercise result had basically achieved his goal.
As for the recording device of the recorder mentioned in another telegram, it becomes a record with better capacity and better sound quality, which is insignificant.
After dinner, Ye Zhao led the guards to walk around Nagasaki City. The flowers were full of wine and wine. Nagasaki City felt like a beach. Even the smallest shop was replaced with Chinese signs, and even newspaper boys selling newspapers shouted in Chinese. If they hadn't often seen women holding umbrellas walking by, they would have thought this was a Chinese city.
Ye Zhao did not stay in Nagasaki for Susaka, and left Nagasaki the next day, but wrote a handwritten letter to Hosokawa, leaving a clan official as his special envoy to interview him on his behalf.
In fact, it doesn’t matter that Hosokawa Shaobu must have requested to join the Southeast Group, etc., and Ye Zhao also ordered the special envoy to agree to him that the current country of *** is almost the same.
In mid-July, Ye Zhao returned to Beijing and did not need to be detailed when reunited with his concubines. What surprised Ye Zhao was that Sharaba, Zhu Sisi and Rong'er had a bulging belly. It turned out that the three of them were pregnant shortly after Ye Zhao left Beijing, but in order not to ask Ye Zhao to worry about him, he did not tell him in the telegram.
While there was no one, Ye Zhao hugged Sharava and was very intimate. It could be seen that Sharava was quite embarrassed, but it wasn't it, so she seemed to be able to give birth one after another.
Rong'er is quite happy, and the more blood she can give birth to her husband, the better.
Princess Yongning and Princess Yong'an have been two and a half weeks. The two little girls are getting more and more beautiful as they grow older. They call dad, and they talk to Ye Zhao with a chinese voice and chineseness, which hurts Ye Zhao. But I really feel that being a god is not so happy.
In the following days, in addition to dealing with political affairs, Ye Zhao naturally began to "create a plan", especially the matchmaker. Ye Zhao had been intimate with her for half a month. He thought to himself that he didn't believe that you could not be pregnant with my dragon seed. It was also because the matchmaker was tough. If he changed to another concubine, no one could stand his trouble. Even so, on the 17th day, the matchmaker said that he would go to another room, and he would not care about Ye Zhao's Nine Five Lords, and locked him outside. It can be seen that the matchmaker, who has always been aware of the general, has been bullied by Ye Zhao to the extent.
There was no way, Ye Zhao took Misaki, who was also locked outside, to Changchun Palace.
Ye Zhao liked Misaki very much, so when he returned to the Forbidden City, he kept Misaki by his side and appointed Misaki as the sixth-rank imperial lantern, which is the palace maid who specializes in serving the emperor and holding fire candles for the emperor.
Changchun Palace is one of the six western palaces, with a yellow glazed tiled shanshan-style roof, a front corridor, a door open in the open room, a partition door, a bamboo-patterned skirt, and a sill window at the end, and a step-by-step brocade window.
Zhu Sisi has already lie down, and the red silk on the bedroom is on the floor to cover the kang, which has a noble temptation. Unfortunately, Zhu Sisi is seven months pregnant and is wearing a loose red nightgown, with a bulging belly. Although the pregnant woman is lazy and her white socks are extremely attractive, Ye Zhao is not as shameless as she is. After all, the little babies at this time may have all senses, right?
However, Zhu Sisi, the stubborn girl, became a pregnant woman, and she had the crystallization of her love with her in her belly. Ye Zhao was extremely satisfied. She smiled and pressed Zhu Sisi down and said, "Don't move, you are the biggest now." Then she laughed and said, "Sisi, I'm scolding me for being a pervert every day, right?" Her voice was extremely low, only he and Zhu Sisi could hear it.
Zhu Sisi glared at him helplessly, but she was really happy when she was pregnant with a pervert.
Ye Zhao smiled and kissed her, then prepared to change her clothes, wanting to chat with her tonight.
Seeing Ye Zhao waved to Misaki to untie the brocade belt around him, Zhu Sisi was startled and wanted to speak, but when she glanced at Misaki, she swallowed back her stomach.
To be continued...
