Chapter 1311 Death and Revenge ([-])
Regardless of whether it is the Royalist Party or the Whig Patriot Party, the mainstream opinions on both sides unanimously chose the tendency of summation, and internal factors are naturally dominant.

The factor of internal class is the source of their consistency in the direction of summation.

These politicians know who can be sold, who cannot be sold, who should be stabilized, and who can be suppressed.

These internal factors determine the "how and".

Other factors determine "war or peace."

Apart from those economic factors, the war is still peaceful, and more often, it depends on whether we can win.If the fight is won, the battle will naturally have the upper hand.

But even though it now seems that the British Channel Fleet still has the strength to fight, in fact, neither the Royal Party nor the Whig Party dare to fight.

This is different from the era when Britain fought against Spain, or later at Trafalgar.

In the Trafalgar era, the Hanoverian royal family had completely secured its position.The members of the Stuart family are basically extinct.The Jacobites in the country have already died out, completely without the ability to rebel.

After the industrial revolution, Britain has made all the citizens who can speak out, have certain influence and economic strength, immersed in the sense of happiness of the country's prosperity.It will not be like this, the Tory Party and the old dynasty forces still have the ability to open and close the door to welcome the king's teacher.

So, at that time, if you lose, what are you afraid of?With a population of several million, mobilization, no one to lead the way, no one to welcome the master, what is there to be afraid of?

But now, neither the Whig Party nor the Royal Party dared to lose. If they lost the naval battle, it would really be over.There are really people who will lead the way, and there are really people who will welcome Master Wang.

To a certain extent, this period of time can also be regarded as the period of influence of the British royal family’s “injustice”, and those big businessmen who monopolize franchisees make most people annoying, such as the Scottish people’s riots to protect smugglers and strangle them to death. Military officers; for example, ordinary people want to drive the king back to Germany to grow potatoes because of the price increase of wine.

However, the national conditions of the UK and China, the power of merchants, and the contrast between rural and urban power make it so that if the UK wants to blow up the Dashun royal family, cause domestic turmoil, and implement reciprocal revenge, it wants to obtain Dashun's robbery of ships and harassing trade. As a result... people had to be sent to the countryside of Dashun, shouting the slogan of land equalization to start an uprising, uniting the countryside with the spirit of the saints, and launching an uprising at the level of the Tian Dynasty's field mu system.Otherwise, there is no way to retaliate equally.

Because Britain's trade is well-developed, the Great Shun trade can directly destabilize Britain.

Because Dashun has a vast rural area, the British sent people to the countryside to preach and uprising to equalize the land, so as to achieve the effect of equal trade in Dashun.

After all, there is France on the opposite side of Britain, and North Korea next to Dashun... France can really hit London as long as it crosses the strait, and North Korea can't hit the capital if it crosses the Yalu River.

Under this difference, on the one hand, the frontline officers on the navy side recognized Dashun's technical and tactical level in the previous naval battle where Boskorn was killed.Regardless of technical details such as flintlocks, breaking the tactical system of line decisive battles and columns interspersed with tails, convinced these front-line officers that this is a difficult opponent.

This is not the French fleet with the purpose of "existence is deterrence", rigging the mast, grabbing the wind, and hitting and running.It's a team that can throw alive comrades into the sea to feed sharks without blinking, full of mental patients, lunatics, drunkards, villains, murderers, felons, and cannibals like the British Navy The navy is definitely a first-class navy at this time.

On the other hand, it is really impossible to win, and there is no way to retaliate against each other, and the missionaries blowing the wind of China made it impossible for Britain to determine Dashun's true war potential.For a country with a population of 600 million, thinking about a country with more than 3 million people and [-] million people according to its own mobilization ability, squeezing ability and taxation efficiency will often lead to huge cognitive biases.

Liu Yu has been advocating the fake free trade distorted by him. One of the arguments is that Dashun has low taxes, which greatly caters to the French Physiocrats and the British Anti-Consumption Tax School.

His data is correct, it is indeed low, but it is actually "incompetent", not "deliberately light taxation".

Therefore, it would be a misjudgment for Britain to think about Dashun's war potential with its 14% of GNP's world-leading taxation capacity.

Indeed, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

But just as it was impossible for Dashun to understand the metaphors in the Book of Exodus, how could England know the difficult scriptures in Dashun's family?

This is roughly the case in England at this time.

Wants.

And can and.

And the group of people with the strongest political power wants and can accept peace.

The world is dynamic.

The class situation in the UK, the recognition of the royal family, and the stability of the political situation, etc., if it is 30 years later, Dashun will not be able to scare the UK, and the UK will definitely choose to gamble on a decisive battle at sea.If you lose the mobilization of the militia, you don't have to worry about the landlord welcoming Wang Shi.

Thirty years later than these 30 years, when the economic foundation and class construction of the UK have reached the point where workers stand up against the Corn Laws and engage in the Chartist movement, it is even more impossible for Dashun to directly talk about trade dumping.

At this time, the two major forces in British politics cannot know the future, but they understand the present.

It's just that the split of the Whig Party and the rise of the opposition caused by the ban on the Tory Party have created a strange atmosphere in the British political arena.

To oppose for the sake of opposing.

Opposing any decision of the government is the best way to gain fame and influence.

It is precisely because of the existence of this trend that the two sides have basically the same ideas about the war negotiation itself; but both sides need to put more thought into who proposes these conditions, who is responsible for them, and who supports whom. Opposition, when to support and when to oppose.

Pete, who had talked with Grenville, did not know the specific actions of the royal party, but he knew that the royal party would definitely use China and France to send prisoners, create some public opinion, and lay the foundation for overthrowing the current cabinet.

The house was empty, and Pete kicked out the rest of the people, including the servants, and locked himself in the room.

He understood that the Patriot Party at this time, or the Temple family, wanted to cut him off.And hope to let Pete play his last strength before cutting.

The promise is that the alliance between the Temple's three-branch family and the Pitt family will continue. After all, they are true relatives and will protect Pete's children. If they are good enough, they can also be allowed to enter politics.

Every family has its own difficult scriptures, and Peter is well versed in the difficult scriptures of Britain, so he can climb to this position as a "great commoner".Of course, in the UK, the concept of civilians is different from that of Dashun. They are "common people" who are married to British field marshals and nobles.

He is now very aware of the domestic situation in the UK, and he also knows that those who once enthusiastically supported his policy of all-out war have basically turned around.Only the group of people from the East India Company is still fanatically supporting him, but at this time, the support of the East India Company is a burden to him, because the rumors released by the Chinese are that the East India Company is in India. The radical policy led to the security anxiety of the Chinese Empire, which led to a full-scale war.

Grenville's betrayal was so high-sounding, but it was actually just because the new king extended an olive branch to him.

As a veteran in the political arena, what kind of person is Pete, how can he be fooled by those high-sounding nonsense?

This is an obvious method of division and disintegration, because the Patriot Party started by spraying the government. The new king wooed Grenville because he did not want the Patriot Party to follow Pete to oppose the government and become a core of opposition to the government.

At this time, asking him to be the one who is fully responsible for the war, and asking him to propose a peace plan that looks completely opposite to the previous radical war is just using him to put pressure on the royalist forces.

John Mordaunt, who committed suicide in Gibraltar, wrote an essay that was quite unfavorable to Pete, and it was obvious that he wanted to lead Pete from the issue of "mistrust in the cabinet" to the issue of "dereliction of duty by the commander of the navy and army".

The former is stepping down.

The latter can be punished by death under the laws of treason and war.

Grenville asked him to propose a peace plan, which was to force the Royal Party to play its cards.

Because of this peace plan, some people will support it.

Once this card is played, the new cabinet organized by the Royal Party must leave enough positions for the Patriot Party.Even if the Prime Minister is basically determined to be Lord Bute, the positions of Minister of the South and Minister of the North will definitely be stuck.

But Pete is definitely going down.

Because, if the fight continues, Pete will not be responsible, at least until the devastating defeat, Pete can pass the responsibility to those who oppose him-I want to continue to expand the war, and you are against it, so you lose, right?During the Jenkins Ear War, I said that I want to reform the navy and expand the scale of shipbuilding, right?You are against it.

And if the fight is not continued, the war is ceased and the contract is signed, then Pete will be responsible.He was the one who put forward the terms and direction of the armistice, that is to say, he himself believed that the war was lost under his leadership, so he must be responsible.

What they did to Walpole, those who were against him will do to him now.

At this moment, Pete just quietly flipped through Dashun's articles, or intentionally spun articles, satirizing him.

In particular, those few articles commented that he is "an antique among conservatives", "the spiritual executor of Cromwell's policy", "taking the navigation law, colonial trading system as the end of history, and only in the cognition of the end of history Find a way" article.

At this time, Cromwell's reputation in England was similar to that of Wang Anshi or Wang Yangming in Confucian circles.It was the envoys of North Korea who heard that these people were worthy of enjoying the Confucius Temple, and they all exclaimed that the world is dead.

If anyone wanted to say that before, Pete would have to rant back.

But now, he can only remain silent.

He assumed that these articles were written by the real handwriting of Dashun who he thought was about the same status as him. Although he was depressed when he received such an evaluation, he at least felt that this was someone who was qualified to evaluate himself.

In fact, he didn't know that these things were not written by Liu Yu, but by some radicals of the Dashunshi School, who were influenced by the way of thinking subtly instilled in these years, and wrote them.

This is a kind of crushing, a kind of ruthlessness of "second- and third-rate figures, relying on new systems, thinking, and methodologies, to crush the first-rate figures of the old era".

It's like in the new school of Dashun, a group of second- and third-rate figures in terms of learning ability, memory, IQ, etc., compared with those who came out of the imperial examination school with thousands of horses and horses in the imperial examination composition, but they can do well in trade, economy, etc. And so on to crush those first-class embryos and real jades that have been killed by thousands of troops and horses.

If Pete knew the truth, he would probably vomit blood and die.But he didn't know the truth, so he comforted himself with the thought of "it's not wrong to lose at the hands of this kind of person", and smiled slightly at those ruthless but fitting ridicules.
