In the backyard garden of the Songkhla Castle Palace, a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old was curiously looking around a cabinet camera.
The girl is wearing a pink narrow shirt and a white embroidered jacket skirt.
She has a Ming-style hairdo with a bun, and soft silk hanging naturally on her shoulders. A pair of pure black eyes are focused on the Chinese woman playing with the camera, and her cheerful face shows the beauty and cuteness of a girl.
"Miss Sixth, hurry up and get ready on the balcony, they are going to take pictures!" the maid next to her reminded.
"Yeah, it'll be ready soon." The girl seemed to be showing off an interesting new toy, and she was in a very happy mood. After the maid reminded her several times, she reluctantly sat upright on the balcony and looked at the lens of the cabinet camera.
After a few soft "coaxing" sounds, the Chinese woman took five or six photos of the girl in succession, and then left the backyard under the guidance of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Miss, miss." After sending several Chinese women away, the maid trotted back and shouted urgently.
"I heard it, I heard it." The girl glanced angrily at the maid who rushed back eagerly, and asked, "Xiaolan, have you heard any news about those women?"
"I heard about it." Xiaolan, the maid, stopped to catch her breath, and then said, "Those three Chinese women are not from Songkhla. They seem to have come from some South American country, Han."
"The South American country of Han? Is it the country that my father invited to garrison troops in Kelantan?"
"Yes, yes, it's them." The maid paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression on her face, "Miss, I heard from several guards that the Han people asked the Lord of the City about Miss, and they seemed to be interested.
The young lady was chosen to be the Queen of Han, and the photos that the three women took of the young lady just now are to be sent to Han, South America, for the King of Han to see."
"What, are you telling the truth?" The girl's face changed, with an expression of surprise written all over her face.
"I don't dare to make fun of the young lady. The second young master's maid, Xiao Hong, was serving a Han general in the hall at that time. What I just said was learned from Xiao Hong's mouth. There is no lie at all." The maid, Xiaolan, said what she said.
Guaranteed.
"The orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. My father agreed to let the three Han women take pictures and send them back to South America. I must have agreed to their request. What can I, a little girl, do?"
After listening to the words of the maid Xiaolan, the girl felt that her father had decided her marriage future in just half a day. She felt helpless in her heart, and the youthful and lively look on her face was quickly replaced by loss and worry.
"Miss, there is no need to be sad. If I marry the king of Han, she will become a queen. It is better than being betrothed by the city lord to a Thai or a Malay from Tao Gong, Pattani or other places."
Songkhla was weak. In order to maintain the rule of the Wu family, the city lord of the Wu family often married his daughters to Thai royal children as wives and concubines or to Malays who believed in pagan religions, in exchange for the stability of Songkhla's political situation.
Born in the Wu family, she spent sixteen years of her teenage years carefree under the protection of the family. Although Wu Lingxuan harbored the beautiful fantasy of a young girl about her future husband, under the severe situation faced by Songkhla
, she still needs to sacrifice her personal happiness for the stability of the family and obey the fate arranged by her father for her.
"Yes, it is better to marry the king of Han than to marry an uncivilized Malay native." The girl thought of the fate of two aunts in her family who married Malay kings, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. She was glad that her marriage partner was not
Malay.
"Miss, the Chinese merchants doing business in Songkhla all say that the King of Han is a great hero and a good man. I heard that in South America, the King of Han defeated many foreign countries and established an area dozens of times that of Songkhla.
country, and the king of Han treated ordinary Chinese people very well, and the soldiers and people of Han in South America loved him."
After saying some good things about Li Mingyuan that she had heard from others, the maid Xiaolan saw that there was no one around, so she sat down in front of her lady and said with a smile, "Miss, you are naturally beautiful. The king of Han will definitely like you very much when he sees you.
I won’t disrespect you like the King of Pattani. Don’t worry, Miss. If you marry the King of Han, you will definitely not be wronged.”
"Damn girl, you spoke so well of the King of Han. Do you want me to report to my father and give you to the King of Han as a dowry girl?"
After the maid Xiaolan's persuasion, the girl felt much better and took the initiative to make fun of the other party.
"Xiaolan will be the lady's lover all her life. Wherever the lady marries, Xiaolan will follow her." The maid Xiaolan said righteously.
"Aren't you shy? I'll beat you to death, you little naughty little girl?" Seeing the maid's cute and serious expression, the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud and started playing around with her.
Tens of thousands of miles away, after nearly ten years of development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many changes have taken place in the South American country of Han.
In terms of land area, after two wars against Brazil and Argentina, the land area expanded to 1.11 million square kilometers. Five provincial-level administrative regions were re-planned based on the original one capital and five counties:
1 The provinces of Jujuy and Salta were merged into Sanyang Province (the area after the merger was 200,000 square kilometers,)
2 The three provinces of Chaco, Formosa and Santiago del Estero were merged into Anfon Province (300,000 square kilometers.)
3 Corrientes Province and the northern part of Santa Fe Province occupied by the Han Dynasty were merged into Xinxing Province (an area of 132,000 square kilometers.)
4 Rio Grande do Sul and the area captured from Uruguay were merged into Yangzhou Province (an area of 340,000 square kilometers.)
5 Santa Catarina State was renamed Jiangdong Province (an area of 5,400 square kilometers.)
Each province has jurisdiction over five to ten prefectures, with a population ranging from 700,000 to 1.5 million.
In terms of education, three universities and two professional military academies have been established in Xinjing.
Among the three universities, one is Xinjing University, a comprehensive university that pays equal attention to arts and sciences such as economics, business management, diplomacy, politics, and machine manufacturing; the other is Hanguo Royal Institute of Technology, which focuses on science and engineering; and the third is specialized in research.
Han Guo Medical University at the Drug Exhibition.
Among the two military academies, one is the Han Sixth Army Officer School and the other is the Han Naval Military School.
Han has a population of over five million, which is similar to that of the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal and other European countries. However, although Han has vigorously introduced Chinese scholars in the ten years since its founding, the country's talent pool is still not as good as that of Western countries.
Therefore, after gathering most of the domestic talents, Li Mingyuan only established three universities and two military academies. As for the five newly established provinces, each province only established two secondary professional and technical colleges to train intermediate
Technical talents.
Compared with universities and secondary technical colleges, primary education in Han Dynasty developed relatively rapidly.
There are more than 30 prefectures and more than 140 counties in the five provinces and one capital of Han Dynasty. Each county has four elementary schools and each prefecture has two intermediate schools. The total number of junior and middle schools is more than 500. Age-appropriate enrollment
The total number of Chinese children and teenagers exceeds 100,000.
Elementary and intermediate schools teach students basic knowledge. Most of the school teachers are ordinary scholars recruited from mainland China, Nanyang and other places. The number gap has been made up after ten years of development.
Most of the professional teachers required by colleges and universities and intermediate technical colleges are foreign teachers hired from the West, and a small number are international students who have returned from overseas.
In February 2010, four years after Japan issued a government decree to publicly encourage citizens to study in the West, Li Mingyuan realized the importance of sending overseas students and the urgency of time, and allocated part of the tight financial preparations to support Chinese students to study in the West.
, the first overseas student program was due to the sparse domestic population and hasty preparations, and only thirty-one students were selected to study in Prussia.
After the formal implementation of the study abroad plan, due to the impact of the war in Argentina, no foreign students were sent abroad for 11 years. After the war, the country's political economy returned to normal, and Han gradually expanded the number of foreign students with a frequency of one batch per year. By 1 year, Han had a total of
It sent 652 international students to study in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, and France. Through cooperation with Western universities, it introduced and translated a total of more than ten basic subject textbooks such as iron and steel metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, chemical engineering, physics, and mathematics.
The implementation of domestic higher education provides a teaching foundation.
