Wild North America 1846

Chapter 75 Three Requests
It's rare for the British to be so forthright, so Li Cha stopped going around in circles, and he replied with a straight face;

"Not a condition, but a request. We have three requests that London should consider carefully;

The first independent country was established. After extensive consultation with everyone in the Tang Dynasty, more than 1% of them were inclined to establish an independent kingdom.

The name of the country is "Tang". This is my wish to reproduce the glory of the ancient oriental dynasty thousands of years ago in North America.

The Tang Kingdom hopes to be officially recognized and conferred by Her Majesty Queen Victoria of Buckingham Palace, giving us the title of king or duke, which is the basis for establishing a world-recognized kingdom.

Only in this way
Only then can everyone's strength be brought together, everyone's destiny united, everyone's vital interests tied together, and they will fight against the invasion of the US Federal Army to the death.

The second is military and civilian supplies and immigration assistance. We request to further increase immigration to North America. Only when our total population reaches 2 or more can we form a sizable army to fight the Yankees A protracted battle.

The third is to request preferential trade treatment similar to that of the British Dominion, which will make the Datang Kingdom grow stronger during development and have the ability to counter the expansion of the United States.

For the above three unfeeling requests, I would also like to ask the distinguished jazz to forward them on behalf of me. "

"This……"

Hearing these three requirements, Sir Brian James also hesitated deeply, especially the first and third ones were far beyond his scope of authority, which made him frown and think.

If according to the original plan

To establish an independent country with the nature of a republic, the Downing Street government can unilaterally declare and recognize it. The procedure is relatively simple and there will be few future troubles. Even if the country is overthrown, it will have no effect.

There is no need to alarm Her Majesty Queen Victoria if it does not involve the entrustment and appointment of princes or duke-level nobles.

But to establish an independent kingdom, it will be more troublesome.

In the long title of Her Majesty Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, there is a noble title of Queen of India, from a legal point of view;

She has the right to entrust a series of great nobles such as king, prince, grand duke, ordinary duke, and marquis. This is the natural legitimacy of imperial power, which is widely accepted by kingdoms in Europe and the world and recognized by theocracy and the pope.

But it's not that simple, this is a prince or a grand duke, belonging to the top nobles.

How many princes and dukes does the entire British Empire have?

The prince is an exclusive dukedom that belongs exclusively to the British royal family. Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, and the first heir, Prince Edward, were named Prince of Wales. There are only these two princes in the UK, and others should not expect extravagant expectations.

Today
There are only 23 dukes in the British Empire. In addition to the dozens of duke titles reserved by the British royal family, there are only a dozen dukes of the opposite sex. Each of them has a terrifying background. They are either great nobles with hundreds of years of history in the early days of the founding of the country, or It is the inheritance of heroes who once turned the tide when the country was in crisis, or it is the traditional aristocracy for the integration of the territory of Scotland or Ireland, neither of which is simple.

From this point of view, Li Cha's delusion of a prince or duke with the title of a great nobleman seems to be a bit wishful thinking, and his head is crazy.

Actually, it's not that difficult.

The above mentioned are all the great nobles who are enfeoffed within the British territory (including colonies). If you want to use your own land to enfeoff, the requirements are of course extremely harsh.

After the Great Britain took the throne of global hegemony, Buckingham Palace also suffered from a problem of being overjoyed.

Her Majesty Queen Victoria's annual honoring ceremony in the spring is really a pilgrimage from all nations, bustling like a big fair, there are honored people from all over the world, and the scene is particularly spectacular.

This point is similar to the ancient Central Dynasty of China, which was very generous in enfeoffing the dependent countries and the Jiji area.

For example, Qinghai-Tibet, Tubo, various tribes in the grassland, Xiliang and southwest Shisi, southeast Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Ryukyu, Dongying, and Korean countries are given the honorary title of king and minister. Even the leader of a small grassland tribe can After receiving titles such as Great Governor, Prince Baylor walked around everywhere, simply not taking it seriously, and distributed a lot of titles to the outside world.

Its purpose is to appease the frontier and Jiji areas, so that they don't make troubles, just live in peace, and don't make trouble for the central dynasty.

The gold content of these princely titles is naturally very low.

For example, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom entrusts a group of Indian kings and chiefs of West Asia every two or three years, which is a daily work.

This is because Britain is currently the de facto ruler of the Indian subcontinent (India is not yet under the jurisdiction of the British colony, and the Governor's Office of British India has not been established, which is under the management of the East India Company). There are more than 600 sovereigns on this continent , Birth, old age, sickness and death every year, plus the replacement of Tubang dynasties is not a small number.

Only the queen of India has the right to approve the new king of the state to inherit the throne and territory, and it will definitely not work if it is changed by another person.

Richard is asking for the title of an independent kingdom on the territory of Mexico, and its difficulty is similar to that of the Indian king.

Anyway, this is not a territory of the British Empire, nor is it a prince or duke of the British Empire itself. In essence, it is equivalent to a remote conferment. An empty title of king will not weaken the gold content of the British aristocracy.

in the room

Sir Brian James frowned and remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere was particularly dignified. The three mentioned by Richard really made him very embarrassed.

If it's a small matter that you don't talk about, it's fine. After showing enough embarrassment, and then readily agreeing, you can still get a big favor.

These few things are not impossible, but labor-intensive...

Seeing this, Li Cha smiled slightly, and lightly slapped his hands twice.

At this time, ten strong men walked in one by one from the outside, and each of them carried a heavy black oak box. The four corners of these black oak boxes were covered with copper skin, and they were connected with copper skin rivets. wooden box.

Behind the ten strong men, came in ten delicate beauties, six oriental women and four western women. Yan Feihuan was thin and seductive, and they stood in a row in a well-behaved manner.

Behind these 10 beauties, 20 strong men came in, and each of them carried a larger black oak box, filling the huge hall to the brim.

"Dear Li, this..."

Sir Brian James already understood something in his heart, and his eyes became fiery. He forced himself to be surprised and looked at Li Cha with a questioning gaze.

With a wave of Li Cha's hand, except for the ten beauties who were Yingying and Yanyan, all the others in the hall withdrew one after another.

Li Cha smiled and made a "please" gesture, leading Sir Brian James to the side of 10 large black oak boxes, and then opened the lids of the boxes one by one.

Inside are full of silk and satin brocades. If there are 20 pieces in a box, 10 boxes are 200 pieces. These precious silk and satin fabrics can be sold at a price comparable to gold in Europe, so they are very precious.

One of the luxury enjoyments of British nobles is to wear silk shirts, use silk handkerchiefs, and sleep with silk sheets. Of course, they are no strangers to these good things, and their eyes are really shining.

Li Cha came to the side of five small black oak boxes and opened them one by one. Inside were all golden bricks of the same size and specification.

He took a gold brick and said;
"Each gold brick here weighs about 30 ounces, about two pounds, and there are 80 gold bricks in each box. There are 5 boxes here, a total of 400 gold bricks, a little care, and please honorable sir Laughing."

At $20 an ounce of gold, a gold bar weighs 30 ounces and is worth about $600.These 5 boxes of gold are worth a total of 24 US dollars, which is equivalent to 4.8 pounds, which is an out-and-out huge sum of money.

Li Cha walked in front of the 10 beauties in a calm manner, and said in a deep voice, "All raise your heads, and let the honorable Mr. Jazz see if there is anything you are dissatisfied with."

"Dear Lee, oh...God, I love you so much, I'm covered by what you say." Sir Brian James tightly grasped the hand of a mature beautiful woman with bright eyes. Looking down from her plump breasts, it was as sharp as a knife, and her saliva almost dripped all over the floor.

This woman is surprisingly Lin Xianer, the concubine of the late Lin Zhanyuan, the young leader of the Agreement Hall. Her skin is tender and smooth, and after being nourished by a man, she looks even more charming as a young woman. Her shy and timid appearance is deeply attracted. Sir Brian James looked a little immobile.

After the agreement hall was wiped out, this woman resented Li Chaque for occupying Jiu's nest, and even killed Lin Zhanyuan with her own hands. All her thoughts turned into hatred, and she was always looking for opportunities for revenge in private.

Although on the surface Lin Xian'er looks very respectful, in essence she has evil intentions hidden.

She thought she was covering it up well, but in fact, how could such vicious thoughts escape Richard's superman's spiritual detection?Just pretending not to know.

The other 5 beauties, except Lin Zhanyuan's other concubine, the remaining 4 are all family members of the bandit leader of the Agreement Hall, either concubines or daughters.

Most of them are the daughters of enemies similar to Lin Xian'er. They have a deep-rooted hatred for Datang Society, and it is not easy to place them by their side, let alone rest assured.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief?

Just give them all to the Brits and use them as waste.

Among the four beautiful white women, one is the second daughter of John Sutter, and the other two are the daughters of Sheriff John A. Clark, who are also the daughters of enemies.

The remaining one was a mail-order bride, a white teenage girl from a poor New Orleans family, just making up the numbers.

Li Cha is still adhering to his usual style, with extremely heavy shots, killing with one blow.

It can be seen that Brian James was extremely satisfied. He changed his previous arrogant attitude, slapped his chest with a "bang bang", and promised to immediately pass the long-distance telegraph line in Oregon to make a request to the Datang Conference in London.

He will also contact His Royal Highness Prince Albert through his personal relationship, and ask him to facilitate him at an appropriate time and say a few good words in front of Queen Victoria.

As for why His Royal Highness Prince Albert helped him, it was difficult to explain the man's affairs.

They also belonged to the top aristocratic circles in London, and stealing food and keeping mistresses has become an open secret. With so many beauties in hand, Brian James has enough confidence to ask His Royal Highness Prince Albert to take action.

If one unshielded meeting is not enough, then two, is this still a problem?
Sometimes men's friendships are as simple as that.
