Chapter 1369 Internal Diseases and External Treatment ([-])

This song is really well written.

Whether it's the excitement of the tune or the rhythm of the lyrics, just a slight change of the key words can perfectly cover most of the world's scenes of defending one's own land.

This song is so good.

So much so that the Duke of Lavis, who led the regular French army from Louisbourg, also hummed.

In fact, the Duke of Lavis certainly could not have imagined at this time that his wife and two daughters were sent to the guillotine in Paris during the 93 storm by the person who sang this song.

As the commander of the French army who joined forces with Dashun's engineers to counterattack Louisburg this time, the Duke of Levis agreed with Dashun's point of view, and believed that the key to France's foothold in North America was here.

The Annapolis Valley is the best farming area around here, bar none.

To the north of the valley, across the peninsula, is Louisbourg.

Hold on to the headland of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, hold here, if the navy is there, the overall situation can be determined.

Up along the Gulf of St. Lawrence is the St. Lawrence River, Quebec, Montreal, until the Great Lakes, and then down is the Appalachian Mountains.

The road situation in North America is here. Whoever controls the Gulf of St. Lawrence and whoever controls the St. Lawrence River controls Canada.

It also means monopolizing the trade of mink fur and ginseng with China; it means that it can provide continuous influence on the Indians in the Great Lakes region and expand trade volume.

To hold Louisburg, food and people are needed.

This is the importance of the Annapolis Valley. According to Dashun, it is not a problem to feed 5 people in such a good valley, which is enough to provide food supplies for Louisburg.

This is keep.

But to attack.

At the southern end of the Annapolis Valley is the Gulf of Maine.

Attacking Boston, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island from here is as convenient as going from Weihaiwei to Lushunkou.

Just across the Gulf of Maine.

After completing the normalization and reorganization of the army, this group of vengeful Acadians can not start from the difficult virgin forest, but can directly attack the enemy's must-save from here.

As long as the navy is in hand.

The current situation is very favorable for France.

Because of Dashun's help, the British navy can be sure that it will not be able to sustain such a large scale after the war.

A large part will be sold as a merchant ship, and a part will be sealed up.

As long as Dashun can continue to maintain the ally relationship with France, then France can poke the thirteen North American states at any time, and poke it as it wants.

Dashun's main fleet is in Brest, in the Mediterranean, and in Toulon.

These main forces are enough to deter the British navy, because France has transport ships, and the British navy dare not go so far.

The warships squeezed out by France can bombard Boston at any time.

Dashun can tie France to fight Louisburg, or go to the St. Lawrence River to toss.

However, Dashun will not directly send a fleet to attack Boston, because Dashun still has to sell tea.Dashun didn't want North America to be incited to drink coffee instead of tea after the fight.

However, this does not mean that Dashun cannot lend some weapons used to burn cities, such as the large diamond monkey, to France, or sell them to France.

And Dashun's suggestion to Duke Lavis, or Liu Yu's suggestion, is "to seek peace through struggle, and to live in peace."

To put it simply, France should organize an army to slam Boston, slam New York, and fight hard along the coast.

The more painful the fight, the easier it will be for North America to demarcate the border, everyone will strictly guard the border, and resolve border conflicts.

Because they hurt the people along the coast, they will naturally issue laws to restrict the actions of the Northwest Frontier Army.

And the people along the coast are powerful. Even if there is a civil war in North America, the northwestern frontier army and land speculators in North America will be completely defeated by the combined attack of the big merchants on the southeast coast, Dashun and the French intervention army.

So, don't think about just fighting in the northwest frontier, that's useless.

If you want to fight, hit the southeast coast.

Hammer once, and there will be peace.

So, how to hammer?
That is also very simple.

It was inconvenient for Dashun to go directly to Boston.

Therefore, the guards of Louisbourg and the defense of Montreal and other places were taken care of by Dashun.

The French, on the other hand, concentrated the regular army, as well as the revenge-hungry Acadians and Millmarks, starting from the town of Annapolis, and harassing the east coast of the Thirteen States.

Kill a person in the Northwest Frontier.

Then take revenge on the east coast of Thirteen States.

As long as there are a few big waves, hit them and leave, don't stay, because France cannot have a mass base because of religious beliefs.

After a few hard hits, there was peace.

Pay attention to one pull and one fight, and the division and disintegration.

Fight Massachusetts, not Pennsylvania.Because Massachusetts is bewildered, and Pennsylvania is temporarily at peace.

Hit Virginia, not the Southern States.Because the group of tobacco growers in Virginia, whether you beat them or not, they all want to expand their land; while those plantation states in the south were frightened by the slave uprising in Jamaica, and they are absolutely eager to make peace as soon as possible.

In short, the thirteen prefectures should be broken down into small pieces, and one faction should be pulled and another faction should be suppressed.

Use the weakness and compromise of the big businessmen, big landowners, and petty bourgeois in the eastern coastal area to make them stand with China and France and raise the butcher knife against their northwest frontier people.

And this obviously cannot be rushed.

Winter is coming soon, and this year’s grain needs to be harvested quickly. The grain grown by these “pioneering groups” who migrated to the Annapolis Valley can just help these already dilapidated Acadians and Mirmarks to cross over. spend the winter.

Before the heavy snow in winter, build a house and prepare firewood.

Anyway, Dashun is not in a hurry to end the war, not to mention delaying it until next year, even if it drags on for another three to five years, it is not afraid.

Because Dashun doesn't need battleships.

From the beginning of construction, these battleships were purely money-burning goods for the European war.Otherwise, does North Korea need Dashun to have battleships, or does Vietnam need Dashun to have battleships, or does India need Dashun to have such a large battleship main fleet?
Now it seems that although the money is burning, it is actually making money.

The trade is getting better and better, and Emperor Dashun has monopolized some commodities, counting the money happily; while the Songsu area is booming, various factories are vigorously started, and refugees are constantly being absorbed.

In addition to the introduction of the national debt system, after the siege of Gibraltar, Dashun can issue Dashun's national debt in Amsterdam at a low interest rate of 2.8% per annum.

There's a reason for that too.

Because the industrial revolution in Europe has not yet broken out, whoever buys the British national debt at this time is a fool.

Originally, during this period, a large amount of financial capital in the Netherlands went to British infrastructure.

In particular, a large number of canal projects have arisen centered on Liverpool, centered on the coal and iron industry in Birmingham, starting from Lancashire cotton in Manchester, and based on the nearby rock salt.

To be rich, build roads first.

The UK is suitable for building canals, France is suitable for building roads, and the north of Dashun is suitable for building railways, but only railways. In short, everyone is busy with infrastructure construction.

The capital of the Netherlands has nowhere to go-you can tell where.

Holland's own industry is abolished, and it is impossible for Dutch financial capital and hot money to invest in Dutch industry.

France's loan reputation... Hehehe, besides, there is still Geneva that can provide loans to France.

Inside Germany, Prussia and Austria, both sides are about to beat the shit out.

Russia is undergoing reforms and urgently needs capital, but Russia's size can't afford much hot money.

It was originally invested in the British Canal, but it was a good profit to build a canal before.

Following Dashun's beating, Liverpool exploded directly, and the Dutch financial capital was not without brains, so how could it be possible to invest in the canal again.

That being the case, who to vote for?

Naturally, buying Dashun's treasury bonds, especially after the siege of Gibraltar was over, became even more popular.

For Dashun, the annual interest rate of 2.8% is really similar to giving away for nothing.

Because the current internal interest of Dashun is still at the level of the UK 60 years ago, easily 8% or 10%.

Dashun is willing to continue the fight anyway, so there is no rush this year.

Settle these people down first, use winter to complete the reorganization, and next spring, go directly to Massachusetts for revenge.

In view of the financial situation in France, Dashun is also very generous, allocating 30 taels of domestic silver, in fact, 20 taels are Liu Yu's personal service, providing these people with muskets, ammunition, farm tools, etc.

In return, French American ginseng will be monopolized by the Dashun official, and can only be sold to the Dashun official, and the price will be determined by the official.

Basically, relying on the government-run American ginseng, Dashun can draw an extra one hundred thousand taels a year.

There is nothing in this thing to compete with the people for profit. Those who can afford American ginseng will not starve to death without this profit; but those who are going to starve to death cannot buy American ginseng.

In addition to the normal tax-levying trade, Dashun government-run or domestically-funded trade products include cinnamon bark, sapphire, American ginseng, some high-end official kiln porcelain, some high-end silk that is pure luxury, and some emperors ordered the ban on religion while themselves Crafts with a cross pattern.

Except for American ginseng, which is a luxury tax collected internally, the rest are official monopoly franchises to make profits.

As for big things like tea and cotton cloth, the taxation is for such bulky things... Pure mercantilism can't be played with in the UK, let alone Dashun.

But even if it's just these things, excluding tariffs, Dashun's financial situation has been greatly improved.The franchise profit from selling cinnamon alone can make one million 10 taels a year.

So for Dashun, he really wanted to fight for as long as he wanted.

This year, Senegal has become the fulcrum of industrial products in the triangular trade. Of course, Dashun hopes that the war will continue, and that France will continue to rely on transport ships and the army to disgust the British navy across the strait.

Of course, in this North American war, it was Liu Yu who helped those people in North America cure their childish diseases and enlighten them.For Dashun, it is actually a standard internal disease and external treatment, relying on external expansion, continuing primitive accumulation and industrial development, accumulating internal explosive energy, and waiting for the explosion.

It's just that no one in Dashun felt it. They all felt that the present was infinitely better, and all factions were in the midst of expansion——Dashun finally chose Liu Yu's strategy of using the Netherlands as the main European commercial port. I can tell.

Therefore, Dashun can continue the First World War at a very slow pace.

Don't be in a hurry.

If you lack money, give money, if you lack guns, give guns.

Of course, there is no shortage of people here. The slightly modified Marseillaise has become a battle song in Canada. More and more people are gathering here, waiting for the reorganization in winter.

Food has never been a problem in North America.As long as you take silver and go to Connecticut, North Carolina and other states, you really want to buy as much as you want.As soon as the silver was thrown out, the local merchants jumped up and down and sent it here.The British customs directly issued a special pass with a clearly marked price.

The current situation is very good, the only small problem is the hundreds of New England "pioneering groups" huddled in Wolfville, what should we do?

kill?

Or educate them, send them to a plantation in Georgia, and sell them cheaply to local British landowners as indentured slaves?To prove that he is a compassionate person and not a beast?
