At dawn, Zhang Meng's fleet entered Nukualofa Port without any obstacles. The troops of less than fifty people were on the port guarding. Before they even had time to distinguish between enemies and us, they were disarmed by the officers and soldiers of the Zhang family who came off the transport ship.

The Zhang family army immediately divided into three groups to attack Nukualofa City, and went to the military camp in the northeast of the city to control about 200 guards of the Aprado royal family there. The second route went to the police station in the city center, the Tongan Parliament, the municipal government, and various government agencies, with the core mission of capturing members of the Aprado family. The third route went directly to the royal palace and aristocratic residential areas in the west of the city to control King Aprado Modi, his family members, and Tongan nobles who supported him.

Modi had no idea that Zhang Meng would be interested in Tonga. He only thought that Zhang Meng was just a temporary residence here. After all, Tonga has no resources and is extremely poor. He still has to rely on British food aid to survive every year. Such a barren land should obviously not be the fat meat in Zhang Meng's eyes.

But he never expected that Zhang Meng needed only a larger foothold and he had greater ambitions. He didn't care how poor Tonga was. He just wanted a big enough foothold because he and his men had already decided to build a brand new country here.

Since it is a brand new country, then obviously Wawawu Island seems to be too small.

Modi knew that he was not Zhang Meng's opponent, so when he learned that Zhang Meng's troops were surrounding his palace, he took the initiative to surrender.

However, he secretly sent a confidant to escape and took a boat to Fiji, asking Britain for help.

Now only the British can help him.

But unfortunately, Modi's people were unable to see Constine when they arrived in Fiji, but instead were detained by British soldiers under Constine and handed over to Zhang Meng.

"I want to see Zhang Meng!"

Modi in prison roared, but what awaited him was endless darkness, and no one even came to pay attention to him.

Zhang Meng did not go to see Modi, but made an appointment with Anmin as soon as possible.

For the people of Tonga, whether it was the Taofahau family before or the Aprado family now, they were all those who enslaved them high and above. In Tonga, the king dominated everything. The king distributed land and all means of production to about thirty noble families, and these noble families rented the land and means of production to the people of Tonga.

In Tonga, the people have no right to participate in politics and the kings and noble families are hereditary, so they will never be able to make a living.

Although Zhang Meng and his men became Tongan citizens with the help of the new laws of the Aprado family, if they want to appease the Tongans, they must adopt the most fundamental means to touch the souls of the Tongans - land will always be the most concerned issue for the people.

In Anmin's notice, Zhang Meng promised to allocate all the land and property of the king and nobles to the people, and any Tongans who supported Zhang Meng would get their own buildings and enough to support their families, and no longer have poverty and disease. Zhang Meng would establish public schools so that every Tongan has the right to go to school and to pass the civil service exam.

Tongans have heard about the things on Wawawu Island, and they are extremely yearning for them. They were originally afraid of a group of Chinese people seizing power, and were worried that Chinese would kill all the indigenous people on the island like Westerners. However, after seeing Anmin’s announcement, the fear in everyone’s heart disappeared, replaced by incomparable joy and excitement.

The streets and alleys were singing and dancing, and the Tongans walked out of their thatched houses to celebrate their freedom and the right to make the decision.

Of course, there must be a very small number of Tonga people who opposed Zhang Meng. However, these people were quickly charged with various charges and disappeared.

Tonga has only a population of tens of thousands, and Zhang Meng's subordinates have more than 60,000 troops alone, and more than 50,000 workers and technicians are engaged in the construction of urban infrastructure and military facilities. In addition, Zhang Meng asked their families to be brought to Wawawu Island together, so recently thousands of mainland populations have entered Wawawu Island every day.

After preliminary verification, there are more than 300,000 Chinese under Zhang Meng's rule. Although large-scale urban planning on Wawawu Island is underway, it takes time to build high-rise buildings. The planned urban system of Zhang Meng cannot build temporary residences. Therefore, the places where temporary population can be resettled on Wawawu Island are very tight. Zhang Meng occupied the entire Tonga in advance for this reason. He wanted to wait for a while.

However, since it has been done, Zhang Meng will not regret it. After taking over the entire Tongan regime, the formation of a new government was immediately put on the agenda.

Because Tonga is so small that the power of a country is like a town government in a small town in China, appointing a hundred or ten people can complete the operation of the entire country.

On the issue of national name, it is obvious that the Chinese population currently occupy the majority, so the name of Tonga can naturally no longer be used. After everyone's unanimous democratic vote, it was finally determined that the country's name was the Tang Empire, symbolizing the reappearance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The national flag designed by Zhang Meng was a bright silver eagle with a metallic line feeling. It grabbed the earth and its wings were spread out and its pre-flying pattern was inspired by the flag pattern of the Earth United Government in a science fiction blockbuster called the Galaxy Team that Zhang Meng had watched.

The capital was located in Nukualofa, but its name was changed to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The other two main islands, Wawawu Island, was renamed Yanjing, Hapai's main island was renamed Jinling, and Aiwa Island, close to Chang'an, was renamed Daxing. These four ancient Chinese capital names have now become the names of only four cities in the Tang Empire.

Since the Tang Empire was determined, it was naturally a constitutional monarchy.

The Tang Empire naturally had to have its own constitution and laws, but the formulation of the new constitution and laws was too large and needed too many people. So Zhang Meng temporarily used the original Tonga law, and at the same time ordered people to copy the British Constitution and laws directly and formulated the Constitution and laws of the Tang Empire.

However, his subordinates believed that copying the British Constitution would make the international community laugh. Since it was to make the prosperous Tang Dynasty reappear, it had to have its own characteristics.

But Zhang Meng was too lazy. He focused on the economic crisis that was about to break out in the United States, so he abolished the copying of the British Constitution and laws and changed it to the American Constitution and laws. At the same time, he changed the name of the state power organ of the Tang Empire, directly restoring the three provinces and six ministries system in the Tang Dynasty.

"The three provinces and six ministries of our Tang Dynasty were the ancestors of the separation of powers by the Americans, so we are not copying others. At the same time, we are still a constitutional monarchy, so neither the British nor the Americans can say us or anything."

Well, Zhang Meng made such a sophistry and his subordinates had nothing to say.

Therefore, the original legislative power, judicial power, and administrative power were replaced with names that highlighted the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty. The Secretariat and Menxia Province Monks. The Secretariat has the highest body, the Congress, which has the Senate and the House of Representatives. Two-thirds of the majority can veto the laws passed by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. The officials of the Ministry of Justice appointed by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet must be reviewed by the Secretariat before approval. The Supreme Court of Menxia Province has the Supreme Court, which can declare the laws passed by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the laws passed by the Secretariat and the laws passed by the Secretariat and the Congress of the Secretariat are violated by the Constitution. The Secretariat represents the largest administrative structure, and the highest institutions are the Cabinet Prime Minister's Office and the responsible cabinet. The Cabinet Prime Minister can veto the laws passed by the Secretariat and appoint the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the Judicial Department of Menxia Province.

The army is independent of the three powers and is directly commanded by the emperor, and a separate military court and executive committee are established.

In short, although the separation of powers has been changed to a three-provincial system, it is still a relationship of mutual restraint, checks and balances between the three, avoiding the excessive concentration of rights of a department and dictatorship.

Of course, the three provinces system is still in the theoretical stage. In fact, the current Tang Empire cannot be effectively implemented, because at this stage, Zhang Meng gathers military and political power, and all the three provinces and six ministries have to obey Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng also knew in his heart that any newly established country must have a leader with concentrated power, and only in this way can he ensure that the new country is based in the world. When everything in the new country is on the right track, Zhang Meng will gradually delegate power and ultimately realize a true constitutional monarchy and democratic system.

However, when everyone planned to choose Zhang Meng when the final emperor of the Tang Empire was nominated, Zhang Meng made an amazing decision.

Zhang Meng gave up being the emperor, but instead asked his father Zhang Xinhai to come over to be the founding emperor of the Tang Empire.

Zhang Meng made this decision beyond everyone's expectations, but it was reasonable. Everyone thought that Zhang Meng was filial and let his father Zhang Xinhai become the emperor.

It seems that Zhang Meng is not in conflict with him to be the emperor himself, so everyone was just surprised, but they all agreed.

After all, everyone is restricted by traditional ideas. With my son here, how dare he proclaim himself emperor?

Only Zhang Meng himself understood that he did this with a pure purpose. Because he believed that if he became the emperor, he would directly face the international community and public opinion. Zhang Meng did not want the international community to pay too much attention to him, so many things would be restricted. Zhang Meng still has a lot to do, and he would be subject to certain restrictions when he became the emperor. He believed that it might be better for him to operate everything behind the scenes, so that Zhang Xinhai would block the international attention at the front desk, so that he would be at ease in everything he did.

Of course, Zhang Xinhai was relieved to be the emperor Zhang Meng. He is now still Zhang Xinhai's son. If one day Zhang Xinhai knew the truth, all the real power of the Tang Empire was in the hands of Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng could undermine Zhang Xinhai at any time. He was just a shield for Zhang Meng.

After the meeting was decided, Zhang Meng immediately called Zhang Wei and asked her to return to China to pick up her parents to Chang'an.

When Zhang Xinhai got off the plane and stepped onto the land of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire, only to know the truth. Seeing that his precious son had done something shocking, the old man was immediately angry and funny.

What was so angry that Zhang Meng did the earth-shaking major event without telling him, and what was so funny was that he actually founded the country on a poor and deserted island, which was like playing house.

However, when he learned that Zhang Meng wanted him to be the emperor of the Tang Empire, the old man couldn't help but shed tears.

For Zhang Xinhai, he also hoped to build a new civilized country like the American ancestors on Mayflower. Sun Yat-sen, whom he followed, failed, and this unwillingness made him accept Zhang Meng's request.

Looking at his father's extremely excited look, Zhang Wei said to Zhang Meng very gratefully: "Thank you! I let my father realize his dream!"

Zhang Meng just smiled slightly. Maybe he had already regarded them all as his real family in his heart.
