The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout Daliang City, and a huge hot air balloon rose near the palace.
There are slogans hanging on the hot air balloons, all blessing the founding of Wei State.
A large number of people's representatives gathered outside the palace to watch the founding ceremony.
The founding ceremony of Wei State was relatively simple because Wei State was extremely short of etiquette talents.
Even for such an important occasion, most of the staff work part-time.
The official who presided over the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was also appointed by Qu Xiaolong.
Qu Xiaolong announced loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please invite King Wei to worship our ancestors."
King Su Hu of Wei put on the black python robe that he had been thinking about for a long time.
To the sound of exciting music, he stepped on the drums and strode over.
In front of the cauldron is a bronze cauldron, with many tablets placed behind the cauldron.
Here are the tablets of Emperors Yan and Huang, the tablets of outstanding Chinese kings in the past, and the tablets of the grandfather and great-grandfather of King Su Hu of Wei.
King Su Hu of Wei took the incense, knelt down, offered incense to his ancestors, and kowtowed heavily.
Everything in the founding ceremony was simple, and Wei's resources could not support their extravagance and waste.
Qu Xiaolong held an imperial edict and a jade seal and read out the edict.
"Emperor Dahua allowed King Su Hu of Wei to go to South America to establish the vassal state of Wei.
The two countries will be reconciled forever..."
King Su Hu of Wei listened to the content of the imperial edict being read. He took the edict and the jade seal and said loudly: "I, King Wei, have accepted the edict. Wei will always be a vassal state of Dahua.
I will carry forward Chinese civilization overseas."
King Su Hu of Wei held the jade seal in his left hand and the imperial edict in his right hand. He walked to the dragon chair and sat on it.
He looked at the Wei civil and military officials and people's representatives below.
Qu Xiaolong read aloud the last ceremony of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China.
"Civil and military officials and the common people of the Wei Dynasty kneel down to worship the King of Wei."
Everyone at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in the direction of Wei King Su Hu.
They knelt down and bowed down, their foreheads touching the ground.
Everyone's voices converge into a sound wave.
"Greetings to the King of Wei. The King of Wei is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
King Su Hu of Wei accepted the kneeling worship of his subjects.
He stretched out his right hand, stepped slightly onto the stage, and said: "Stand flat."
After everyone thanked them, they stood up again.
Drums beat and salutes continued.
King Su Hu of Wei brought all the civil and military officials of Wei to the palace to attend the first court meeting of Wei.
The Kingdom of Wei has been established and rewards should be given to the meritorious officials.
They followed Wei King Su Hu to found the country just for this day to come.
King Su Hu of Wei sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials standing on both sides.
The State of Wei had just been established, and the profession of eunuch did not yet exist.
King Su Hu of Wei read out the results directly without using a eunuch as messenger.
"Appoint Song Kangbo as the Commander-in-Chief of the Governor-General of the Wei State, and proceed to establish the Governor-General's Office and improve the command system of the Wei army.
Song Kangbo was granted the title of Duke Zhenyuan of Wei State."
The Grand Governor Song Kangbo immediately stood up and knelt down: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
King Su Hu of Wei waited until Song Kangbo retired, and then he continued to reward the meritorious officials.
"Appoint Qu Xiaolong as the Prime Minister of the Wei State Cabinet to manage the daily government affairs of the country.
Qu Xiaolong was granted the title of Duke Wen of Wei State."
Wei Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong immediately stood up and knelt down to thank him.
…
King Su Hu of Wei continued to reward meritorious officials, and he soon rewarded the last meritorious official.
"Wang Dajin, the head of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry, has made great contributions in prospecting and was awarded the title of Viscount of the State of Wei."
Wang Dajin hid in the crowd wearing an official uniform that he was unfamiliar with. When he heard the reward from King Wei, he couldn't believe it.
A colleague tapped his body to remind him.
Only then did Wang Dajin react and immediately stood up to thank him.
After Wei King Su Hu awarded the last meritorious official, he looked a little tired and immediately decided to go to court.
He looked at the empty palace. At the peak of his life, he had no relatives to share the joy of this event with him.
King Su Hu of Wei decided that he must develop and expand Wei in a short period of time.
Only in this way can the family be brought to Wei State to reunite with him.
…………………………
Blorel, the Spanish Governor of Central America, is commanding Spain in the Americas. He can mobilize the navy and part of the colonial army to form a coalition to prepare to retake the Brazilian colony.
Governor Blorrell looked at the fleet consisting of more than 100 warships, and he showed a confident smile.
The huge fleet he commanded had nine first-class battleships.
In the area from the Caribbean to the east coast of South America, they have no opponents at all.
Governor Blorrell set out from Cuba to the military port and moved southwest.
After passing through an island chain, we arrived at the northern tip of South America.
Most of the places along the coast were Spanish colonies.
These colonies were generally small. Where no gold or silver mines were found, most of the land around the ports was reclaimed.
Unless there is a river, land will be cultivated along the river.
Governor Blorrell commanded the fleet and docked at the colonial port to replenish supplies.
They also recruited a group of colonial troops to supplement the army and enhance their strength.
Every time the fleet arrives at a port, the number of people accompanying it will increase.
The fleet is about to reach the Brazilian colony, and the size of the army has reached 40,000 people.
Most of them are mixed colonial troops, but this huge army can destroy any force in South America.
Yarit went to Governor Brorel and suggested: "Your Majesty Governor, the army in the army is too large, which is not conducive to the navy galloping in the sea.
We are about to reach the Brazilian colony and I suggest that the army divides its forces.
The army chose a place to go ashore and outflank the enemy from the road to prevent the enemy from escaping deep into the rainforest.
In this way, the navy can also go into battle lightly, which can easily demonstrate the maneuverability of the ships, which is beneficial to the navy's battle with the Chinese navy."
Governor Blorrell also approved of Yarit's suggestion.
Those miscellaneous armies trained in the colonies are okay against the local indigenous people, but they can easily collapse against the elite army.
When the subordinates in the colony heard that he was going to conquer the Chinese, they all came to him and wanted to send some troops and gain some military merit.
Colonial officials can work as military workers, and when they give gifts to domestic dignitaries, they can be transferred back to the country from the colonies.
Governor Blorrell also asked these colonies to provide supplies to support him in sending troops to fight.
He could only agree to this request from his subordinates, and more and more of these miscellaneous troops gathered.
Governor Blorrell sighed in his heart, the situation in Europe is now a bit tense.
The Spanish Armada cannot be mobilized.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to use these old battleships.
A squadron of the Invincible Fleet can destroy the Chinese navy.
Governor Blorel looked at Yarit and ordered: "I will leave the army in your charge, Yarit, I don't expect you to annihilate the Chinese people.
The army under your command must contain the Chinese on the flank battlefield.
Even if all these miscellaneous troops are destroyed, we still have to complete this mission."
Most of the troops sent from the colonies were of mixed race.
No matter how many of these hybrids die, no one cares, they are the best cannon fodder.
Arit thought about it for a long time and made a request.
"My Lord Governor, once we go ashore, we will lose contact with the fleet.
After I see the enemy, I will take corresponding actions based on the enemy's reaction.
There is no way to coordinate closely with the fleet."
Governor Blorel heard what Yarit didn't say clearly.
He is asking for the autonomy to lead troops.
Governor Blorrell smiled and said: "I heard that you were in the army and were sent to America because of your offence.
I believe in your ability and you will definitely handle this matter well.
The Army is entirely in your charge."
Yarit then formally saluted and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Governor, Yarit will definitely complete the mission."
Governor Blorel issued an order, and Yarit led more than 17,000 troops ashore on the beach they carefully found.
The army left more than a hundred cargo ships carrying cargo to the army, and let these cargo ships slowly unload their cargo.
Governor Blorrell took the remaining warships into battle lightly.
The speed of the entire warship has accelerated a lot.
The huge fleet was sailing on the sea, and they suddenly saw several streamlined small sailing ships on the sea ahead.
After they saw the fleet, they immediately fled south in panic.
After Governor Blorrell received the news, he used a telescope to observe these small sailing ships.
He was very surprised. He did not expect that the Chinese people's navigation technology could reach such a level.
This small boat moved forward at an astonishing speed on the sea.
If Spain can master this technology, their contact with the mainland will become very easy.
Governor Blorrell knew that they were not far from the Chinese.
He ordered the fleet to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready for war with the Chinese navy at any time.
The Chinese navy is weak, but this is definitely no reason to underestimate the enemy.
They must adopt the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit and crush the Chinese navy with all their strength.
…………………………
The joy of the founding of Wei soon turned into the tense situation before the war.
King Su Hu of Wei also learned from Dahua's imperial meeting system and convened his closest ministers to discuss the difficulties they encountered.
He looked at Song Kangbo and asked: "Song Aiqing, please introduce the situation of the enemy to everyone.
Others should stay calm. In our previous calculations, the probability of a massive Spanish counterattack was as high as 90%.
This is the difficulty in our choice to seize Spanish colonies.
Only when the Wei State survived this crisis could it be considered a formal success in founding the country.
I believe that with the efforts of our monarchs and ministers, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."
In order to appease the ministers, King Su Hu of Wei said a few more words, and then motioned to Song Kangbo to introduce the situation of the Spaniards.
The Grand Governor Song Kangbo took out a simple map. He marked the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the simple map.
"The navy's clipper ship is extremely fast. When the wind direction is right, it can run faster than a steam ship.
The Navy dispatched our only dozen clipper ships to form a formation to patrol the surrounding waters.
The second team of clipper ships discovered traces of the enemy.
They estimated the strength of the Spanish fleet.
They have between 130 and 150 warships, and the number of battleships is very clear, nine in total.
There are two first-class battleships, one second-class battleship, and six third-class battleships.
In addition to steam warships, the navy's armed merchant ships could not defeat the Spanish warships. This time, they mainly docked with guns, mines, rockets and other weapons to guard against enemy attacks.
When the time is right, the two steam warships will act as a surprise force and defeat the Spanish fleet."
Song Kangbo spoke in a straightforward manner and explained the military's response to the Spanish attack.
There are three main plans to deal with various situations.
There are even fifteen alternative plans, taking into account most of the variables on the battlefield.
There were even coastal defense guns that could not withstand the attack and sacrificed two steam warships to gain a chance for Daliang City.
The army led the main force to protect the immigrants and retreated deep into the rainforest to fight a war of attrition with the Spaniards.
Their Wei State attracted most of the attention of the Spaniards, and several other countries could develop rapidly.
There is a fire in the Spanish backyard, and the war will definitely not last long.
After hearing these plans, King Su Hu of Wei said with satisfaction: "Before you predict victory, you anticipate defeat. This is the quality a commander should have.
Soldiers are a major event for the country.
Song Aiqing, I see that all your attention is on the navy, and there is no plan for the army to suddenly attack Daliang City. This habit is not very good."
When Song Kangbo heard Wei Wang Su Hu's suggestion, he immediately reacted.
A theoretical person like him who has never fought in a war does not think about war as comprehensively as a battlefield veteran like King Su Hu of Wei.
He now saw only the approaching Spanish fleet.
There are many Spanish colonies around Wei State, and these colonies may send coalition forces to attack Daliang City from land.
If you are not prepared for this situation, big problems will arise.
Song Kangbo's face turned purple. He immediately knelt on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I didn't discover such a big problem."
Wei Wang Su Hu waved his hand and said: "Song Aiqing arranged the navy's response plan very well.
As long as the weak defense areas are blocked, there will be no problem."
Song Kangbo stood up again. He asked Wei King Su Hu to leave the pre-meeting and discuss with his subordinates to adjust relevant arrangements.
King Su Hu of Wei only issued an order to prepare for war with all his strength, and the entire Wei Kingdom became busy.
…………………………
Sun Huosheng got what he wanted, and he took the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He received a report from Li Xianshui and had already taught several natives who could speak Chinese.
Sun Huosheng just finished the training, which was about assimilating the indigenous people.
He came to Cotton Country again, where the cotton had already been picked.
The natives had nothing to do and gathered together in twos and threes to chat.
It is winter now, and the winter here in Brazil is not too cold, but there is no way to plant it.
Sun Huosheng saw that the natives were all wearing sweaters and coarse linen clothes.
Li Xianshui quickly took the indigenous people and several village chiefs to find Sun Huosheng who was entering the countryside.
"Master Sun, I have completed the tasks assigned by you."
Li Xianshui immediately signaled to Li Laifu and asked him to speak in Chinese.
Li Laifu looked nervous, and he stuttered a little: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, and thank you King Wei.
Let us have two full meals a day, give us sweaters, and give us warm clothes."
Sun Huosheng was very satisfied when he listened to the indigenous Chinese.
As long as one of these indigenous people can speak Chinese, he can teach many people.
Sun Huosheng asked people to call all the indigenous representatives in the township.
He asked these natives who could speak Chinese to serve as translators.
Sun Huosheng began to tell these natives about the glory of the Inca Empire.
These natives never knew that their ancestors had established such a glorious country.
But with the few words passed down from the tribe, they could also confirm that Sun Huosheng was right.
Sun Huosheng finally said: "The Spanish came to America, and they destroyed the Inca Empire with the plague of smallpox.
They captured you as slaves, and now the Spaniards are back to turn you into slaves again."
After the natives heard this, some couldn't help but burst into tears, and some looked horrified.
When Sun Huosheng saw this situation, he showed a smile, and then his face turned serious.
His mission was to drive a wedge between the natives and the Spaniards, and to use the natives to look after the Spaniards.
He also recruited some cannon fodder for the military.
The military will definitely not teach the indigenous people guns and let them control the force.
But the war is approaching, and the military needs a group of cannon fodder to perform special tasks.
