Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.
After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...
Chapter 588 Civilized World, Civilized Conquest (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
Phoenix Street is the main street in Asuncion. The name is obviously to express gratitude. Thanks to whom?
Of course it is the Ming Dynasty’s “Phoenix Legion”!
Today, Phoenix Street is as bustling as ever. The flow of people is like a tide. Although sedan chairs and carriages are coming and going, the sidewalks and even the streets are full of people. All the store doors, windows of every house, and even on the roofs, are filled with sun and moon flags!
That is the national flag of the Ming Dynasty.
There were countless people, including men, women, and of course children. They all held small Ming Dynasty national flags. People carrying promotional billboards walked around in the crowd, and flags and slogans of various colors fluttered in the wind between the buildings.
The streets were filled with people shouting:
"Support the union! Please vote for Paraguay's annexation into the Ming Dynasty!"
"Hey! Support the Union!"
The people holding the national flags were not just holding the Ming Dynasty flag, they were also waving the Paraguayan flag. The one-year-old children riding on their father's heads were still waving the flags in their hands with a smile, even though they didn't know what was going on.
Two flags - one belongs to Paraguay, the other belongs to Ming. Just like the children's father, their father is from Ming, and their mother is from Paraguay. The women hold their husbands' arms closely, and they are also shouting excitedly.
"Union, long live the Union!"
…
This works too!
It turns out this is possible!
At least that's what Felix, the British ambassador to Paraguay, thought. He told his thoughts to the American ambassador Fox and said:
"The parliament will vote on the 20th, and the referendum will be held from the 23rd to the 27th. The relevant regulations have been formulated. God! How can they do this? This is an independent country!"
Felix's words immediately drew Fox's approval.
"Yes, this is invasion, this is conquest, this is..."
Looking at the Paraguayan women in the restaurant, an idea popped into Fox's mind - uterine conquest?
No, it should be the uterus that was conquered!
God, the Brazilians and Argentinians killed the men here, while the men from another country conquered this country by conquering the women here!
God!
What kind of joke is this?
What annoyed Fox even more was that the Paraguayans welcomed the arrival of that day very much. Even the restaurant was flying the flags of Ming Dynasty and Paraguay.
Conquer, conquer from the inside out!
"To be honest,"
Fox took a sip of his wine and said,
"As for annexation, the Brazilians are no match for the Ming people. They only know how to use their fists. There are still people resisting in Uruguay, but here, you can't see anyone resisting at all."
In fact, the United States is also good at this kind of thing!
Texas, isn't that how it was obtained? A group of American immigrants went there.
Then what?
Of course it's the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest!
No, it should be said that the local residents used the method of democracy to determine their fate. However, the people of the Ming Dynasty played it more detachedly - by conquering women, they directly conquered the country!
"It's not like there wasn't resistance. I heard that Carlos Loizaga voted against it in Congress!"
Felix said.
"The only dissenting vote! Perhaps Brazil and Ming Dynasty are both devils, but what is certain is that Paraguay believes that Ming Dynasty is a benevolent devil! So they chose Ming Dynasty, and their rulers and officials have gone to Ming Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor. Today, we witnessed history, the history of a country's self-destruction! But I believe that this is definitely not the first time!"
After hearing Fox's conclusion, Felix smiled, then he looked out the window thoughtfully.
Outside the window, a large national flag was already hung at a polling station.
It was the national flag of the Ming Dynasty. Under the flag, a group of beautiful young ladies, who were obviously from prominent families, were busy working. In addition to them, there were some young Ming people, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
"Leah, take a break first!"
Yuan Tianxi said to Leah who was busy running around.
"Well, just hang up this banner."
Yuan Tianxi just smiled as he watched Leah and her friends hang banners together. When the banners were hung, he had already given Leah a bottle of iced Coca-Cola. The influence of the Ming Dynasty on Paraguay was in all aspects. In addition to 140,000 men marrying Paraguayan women, the goods of the Ming Dynasty also continued to flow in here, including Coca-Cola invented by Emperor Zhu.
"Have some Coke."
After taking the Coke handed to her by Yuan Tianxi, Leah looked up at the fluttering banner, which was a banner welcoming the union.
"I never thought that Paraguay would be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty and become one country."
"Yes, just like us!"
Standing next to the girl, Yuan Tianxi said with a smile.
"What?"
"I think we should be like them and become a family!"
The man's words made Leah excited. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Yuan Tianxi and said.
"Are you...proposing to me?"
"Yes, Leah, will you marry me?"
Just like a magic trick, Yuan Tianxi took out a ring and then half-knelt in front of the girl. When the people around saw this scene, they all looked at the couple with smiles on their faces. Such a scene is really too common here.
Most of them have Ming dynasty men as their husbands or lovers. Many Paraguayan women even take the initiative to learn Chinese in order to find a Ming dynasty man as their husband.
"Paraguay, my motherland..."
As he was about to board the ship, Carlos Loiza looked at his city with a depressed look.
This was no longer his city, just like his homeland, which was about to... no, had already disappeared.
In order to avoid getting involved, Carlos Loiza, the former Speaker of the House who cast the only dissenting vote in the congressional vote, chose to leave.
"Carlos, there is no need for you to leave here. Everyone respects your choice."
Faced with his friend's request to stay, Carlos shook his head.
"I hope to leave this country as a Paraguayan. At least when I leave here, it exists as a country! Gentlemen, please remember that we are Paraguayans. We... have sacrificed so much, not to hand over the country to foreign countries!"
Facing his friends who were seeing him off, Carlos gave his speech again. While he was speaking, the people who were seeing him off fell into silence.
"Well, my friends, goodbye, my dear country, goodbye, Paraguay. If I come back one day, Paraguay will surely reappear in the world!"
As he was about to board the ship, Carlos knelt on the ground and kissed the ground in full view of everyone.
His sons died on this land, and all three of them died in the war to defend Paraguay.
And now the Paraguay for which they had sacrificed no longer exists.
After boarding the boat, Carlos Loiza went up to the uppermost cabin, from where he could see the city of Asuncion and the main street of Asuncion.
By the way, that street is now Phoenix Street. Last year, it was at their initiative that they renamed the street.
And now?
It wasn't just the names of the streets that were changed; the country soon disappeared.
“This is my country…”
At this moment, tears flowed from Carlos Loiza's eyes.
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
