Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1353 The Total Collapse of Britain ([-])
There is one thing to say, when Pete clamored to launch an all-out war against Spain and France.

Liverpool celebrated without fireworks.

It can be regarded as the most supportive area of ​​​​all-out war in the entire UK.

It's just that, with Dashun, he brought all the naval base to Europe.

This kind of celebration, in just one year, turned into chaos.

It's not just Liverpool's chaos.

It's the chaos of the cities along the canal.

The world is dynamic and affairs are connected.

Dashun's participation in the war was not just a simple one-way influence.

Take Lancashire cotton, which is very important in Liverpool's triangle trade.

Lancashire was the city most affected by Dashun's participation in the war. Its cotton textile industry, which started, died immediately.

This is not only because Dashun cut off the triangular trade.

There is another more important reason:
There is a reason like this, if you want to develop the cotton textile industry, you have to have cotton.

Without cotton, it is impossible to develop the cotton textile industry.

The Cotton Act of 1721, or the Manchester Act, exempted only two types of "cotton."

One is raw cotton, that is, cotton.

The other is Fustian in Lancashire.

Where does raw cotton come from?
Of course it is India, is it North America?
Cotton cultivation in North America, at least at this time, is absolutely untenable.

Because why does North America grow cotton?

On the one hand, the cotton from Mumbai and Bangladesh could not be used before. Wouldn’t it be easy for the East India Company to supply the cotton textile industry protected by high tariffs in Lancashire?

Oh, you won't let me ship oriental cotton cloth, so can I ship cotton?
On the other hand, slave owners in North America grew cotton only if they had brain problems.

How much is a slave?

How much does it cost to grow tobacco?

How much does it cost to grow sugar cane?

How much does it cost to grow indigo?

Cotton has to be peeled by hand before the cotton gin. How many catties of cotton can a hand slave peel a year?
What price for a slave?
How is it possible to let slaves grow cotton now?
Historically, until 1799, the cotton production in North America was only 200 million catties.Not enough to make a pair of cotton trousers for one person in Dashun Shenyang City.

Things are never that simple.

As simple as it is, I heard that Britain invented the spinning jenny, and that Britain invented the hydraulic loom, so the cotton textile industry in the UK must be very developed, right?
I heard that black people in North America will explode when they hear watermelon, and watermelon is a very suitable crop for interplanting with cotton, so North America must be a cotton-producing area, right?

Actually, this is not the case.

The East India Company took advantage of the opportunity to ship cotton into England.

The East India Company is called the East India Company, not the American Company, nor the West India Company.

How could the East India Company have allowed the North American cotton industry to develop?
How can the high labor cost in North America compete with Indian cotton?
Therefore, there is not much cotton in North America at this time; at this time, the level of cotton textiles in the United Kingdom is being beaten by Bangladesh.

Therefore, it is not simply that Dashun cut off the triangular trade, so Lancashire's cotton textile industry collapsed.

But after Dashun went to war in India last year and directly killed the British East India Company, the cotton textile industry in Lancashire collapsed.

Dashun's strategy is also very clear.

Either do not fight.

Either fight.

Dashun and Britain had clashed several times in Nanyang before.Including but not limited to smuggling opium but finding middlemen to prevent the East India Company from taking responsibility; including Dashun Royal was very dissatisfied with Britain's sneaky purchase of spices in Nanyang, which seriously affected the emperor's spice profit margin.

However, it has been "endurable".

What I am afraid of is that Britain has a good brain. Seeing Dashun going to Nanyang, it hastened to subsidize the cotton planting industry in North America.

Apparently, the UK doesn't do that.

Instead, rely on raw cotton from India to support the Lancashire cotton textile industry that started with high tariff protection.

Dashun cut off the Indian trade, and Lancashire's cotton textile industry... This is not a problem of not being able to sell in the market, but a direct cut off of raw materials.

This change in the trade pattern affects all aspects, not a single line.

Or Cheshire salt.

North America is by the sea.

There are forest coal mines in North America.

But labor prices in North America are too expensive.

Therefore, even if there is a little salt industry in New England, it cannot withstand the salt of Cheshire.

However, as the war progressed.

It is indeed impossible for Dashun to transport salt from northern Jiangsu to America.

But you can't just consider Dashun.

Rather, it should be considered that after Dashun entered the war, the trade was cut off, and the salt cooking industry in New England also ushered in a spring.

This made Cheshire's salt even more unsalable in North America.

Before King Austria's succession war, Duke Qi participated in the spoils sharing meeting, representing Dashun, and proposed the "Anti-Piracy Convention".

Because of Dashun's special situation, Dashun hated pirates.How can a commodity exporting country like pirates?
At that time, the British laughed at Dashun, saying that "a group of eunuchs proposed to prohibit sexual life".

Because the countries that joined the anti-piracy convention were countries like Russia, Austria, and Prussia that had no fucking chance to privateer at all.It really looks like a group of eunuchs are discussing closing brothels.

However, since Britain does not participate, Dashun will rob the ship.The covenant is only valid for the countries in the covenant, and the countries that join the covenant are not even eligible for private plundering. Of course, Dashun abides by the covenant.

And because Dashun has a relatively authoritarian monopoly trade policy, all ocean-going merchant ships in Dashun, even those going to Japan, must purchase reloading merchant ships according to the standard.

Although free trade has been severely distorted, otherwise cheaper and lower-cost ships will still go to Japan.

But after the war started, the effect appeared.

Reloading of merchant ships, lunar distance and longitude method, monopoly monopoly company sailor training military obligations... and most importantly, Spain's change of king led to Spain's participation in the war. The Dashun fleet can replenish in Havana, and the privateering efficiency has increased by at least 200%.

After these sets of combined punches, the entire industrial area in western England collapsed.

Financial collapse was already doomed.

Either the East India Company was strangled.

Still...in the financial industry, you have to consider interest, turnover, and risk.

After Dashun entered the war, the 1500 million loan from the North American plantation area has not been repaid, and these huge risks were naturally detonated one by one.

And the collapse of the sprouting industry is what really kills.

Around 1750, the British basically eliminated the yeoman.

This is a good thing, if industrialization can continue.

But behind the good thing is that this budding industry has been cut off, and these people have no land, so what do they eat?What to drink?
How to survive?

The chaos in Liverpool is just a microcosm of the general collapse of Britain after Dashun entered the war.

Even though, in fact, the largest naval battle between Dashun and the United Kingdom involved the sinking of [-] ships each.

Even though, Dashun did not actually play a "Trafalgar" match with Britain.

Even Dashun didn’t intend to land in the UK at all. Moreover, guarding against “allies” is like guarding against thieves. I’m afraid that if France really dominates, then the European market will be over. Made wedding clothes.

However, Britain collapsed just like that.

The collapse of the financial industry, accompanied by the destruction of the East India Company, swept through like a tsunami.

The collapse of the manufacturing industry is like a few molds growing on a big white steamed bun. There are not many at the beginning, and the mobilization of militias can suppress it.

But soon, the mold spread.

The first to collapse was the cotton industry in Lancashire.

Then, there's the ceramics industry in Staffordshire.

Then, there is the salt industry in Cheshire.

Then, a new round of financial turmoil was detonated-because the canal was charged, shareholders invested a lot of money, and the canal had no navigable capacity, so how could they make money?
The rapid development of Liverpool before convinced the British that infrastructure is profitable.

The introduction of the Highway Law allows road tolls.

The canal to Liverpool lures more capital into canal infrastructure.

The bonds of the roads, the bonds of the canals, and the collapse of manufactures in Manchester, Stafford, Cheshire, followed in general.

The Hispanic Jews who hated the sale of the 53-year Jewish naturalization law began to manipulate the financial market, lowering the price of infrastructure bonds, and preparing to hoard equity bonds for canals and roads.

Finally, Liverpool, a port closely related to manufacturing, also ushered in depression and destruction.

A city of 8 people.

It's all about business.

There is no decent manufacturing.

A large number of urban populations need to eat.

Originally, in their lives, the daily sugar intake was a lot.

Therefore, it seems that there is not much food to eat.

However, with the collapse of the Atlantic trade, the shipment of sugar also decreased sharply.

Simple conservation of energy.

Eat less sugar.

Just eat more steamed buns.

Eat more steamed buns, the land nobles are of course happy, because the price of food has risen.

The only reason they supported the Corn Laws, which had nothing to do with tradition, was simply because they were landowners and it would be good for them to have an increase in the price of grain.

Merchants are hoarding goods.

Landlords fueled the flames.

This kind of fueling is not just because of skyrocketing food prices.

Instead, the Tories are finally looking forward to the lifting of the ban on the party, and finally looking forward to a king who allows the Tories to join the cabinet.

Since Viscount Bolingbroke was defeated and criticized, the Tories have not had a chance to join the cabinet for many years.

The chaos in Liverpool naturally has the shadow of the Tories behind it.

They need chaos, more chaos, bloodshed.

Only by shedding blood can the Whig Party be liquidated.

Even within the Whig Party, because the Tory Party was banned from entering the cabinet before, it also split into country faction and patriotic faction.

In recent years, the country Whig Party, which has been tossed by the high-profile Patriot Party by Pete and others, will also take the opportunity to conduct a general liquidation of the Patriot Party.

Didn't Pitt insist on taking credit at the beginning?

When Clive came back from India to get married, wasn't it you who welcomed him with a high profile and awarded him honors?
OK.

Now, Dashun insisted that Dashun joined the war because of the British aggressive policy in India, which stimulated Dashun's bottom line of security, and Dashun had no choice but to send troops.

You Pete, are dead.

But what about your group of patriot boys?

In politics, how can one not pursue his party members once he dies?

Liverpool's human blood steamed buns are delicious.
