Xinshun 1730

Chapter 817

Contradictions have a process of accumulation.

The return of Lewisburg can basically be regarded as the beginning of a chain of events for North American independence.

In the context of the end of Dashun and the scarcity of ginseng caused by the destruction of the Qing Dynasty and the emigration to Liaodong, the impact of the return of Louisburg must be even greater.

The manor owners and businessmen of the thirteen states contributed money to finance the militia and seized Louisburg. For what?
Is it patriotic?Fight to the death with the feud of France?
Or for ginseng mink and cod?
It goes without saying.

If Britain is returned, who will go to the merchants, manor owners, and bourgeoisie who financed the New England militia?

No, okay?
"This is chaos, New England will not obey the edict", okay?
No.

Because France is not afraid of the three or five thousand New England militiamen.

What France is afraid of is the British Royal Navy cruising the sea.

Without the British navy, France could easily recapture Louisbourg with the strength and strength of the New England militia.

If the militiamen, squires, merchants, and manor owners in New England insist on fighting.The British government does nothing but withdraw the fleet of the Royal Navy.

The UK will not return it, okay?

Not at all.

Because the British king wants to protect his family's Longxing land, Hannover.

It is necessary to consider that the group of people who supported the Stuart Dynasty in France went to Scotland. Perhaps the English did not support the Stuart Dynasty, but the group of people in Scotland were quite supportive.

It should be considered that if France occupies the Austrian Netherlands, it can borrow the port of the Austrian Netherlands and land in the UK very conveniently.

It must be considered that if France occupies the Austrian Netherlands, France can block the trade between the United Kingdom and Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. At the same time, it must be worried that France will threaten the Netherlands and make the Netherlands a French vassal.

Even if Russia sends troops now, it will be a situation where the wolf is scared at both ends.

The French are worried about the new force of Russia.

Isn't the King of England worried about whether the [-] Russian army can defeat the French army?
Once it fails and the Russian army retreats, the situation will be completely ugly.

Especially under the background that Marshal Herman was good at fighting and showed his talents repeatedly, and defeated the Anglo-Dutch coalition forces.

In addition, Dashun's trip to Nanyang made a lot of effort, which directly caused the Dutch financial industry to collapse.Of course, it has an impact on French loans, but the biggest impact is still on the United Kingdom.A large number of British national debts were bought by Dutch financiers.

The collapse of the Dutch East India Company not only affected the shareholders of the East India Company, but the leveraged bonds of more than ten times were the real big head. The Dutch financial industry under the chain reaction was actually finished.

Of course France can't move.

How could Britain be moved?
If compared with Dashun, the Austrian Netherlands is quite similar to North Korea to Britain.Although it is a "family matter" in Austria, the United Kingdom cannot ignore it.

Even if Russia still has manpower, the Russians have to pay when they come to the Rhine.Without paying, the Russians ran so far with nothing to do, helping Great Britain to fight France across Poland and Prussia?
Furthermore, the United Kingdom has now strongly demanded an armistice.

Members of the Little Patriots Party have already begun to campaign vigorously: the king considered too much the interests of Germany, but ignored the interests of Britain.If this continues, the king should abdicate to the crown prince and return to Hanover to be the elector.

The King of England and his father have a bad reputation. He was the King of England for half his life, and he couldn't speak English before his death.

This is not unbearable, but his words and deeds are too high-profile, and he often sighs in Latin: This broken place in England is a mess.I live very well in Hannover, and if it weren't for the attractiveness of the English crown, I wouldn't come to this place.

Not to mention that he transported a large amount of British gold to Hannover during his lifetime, the South Sea Bubble incident has a great relationship with his family, and it has been exposed as a scandal.

The great development of British novels in recent years is not without reason.

Because there are too many "tongue-chewing", censorship laws have been introduced, and there is a lot of literary inquisition. Britain is the hometown of Shakespeare, but under the censorship laws, even some of Shakespeare's plays cannot be staged for a period of time, because "there is an allusion to the Hanoverian Dynasty. It is the meaning of outsiders."

So many people switched careers to write novels, and they were not allowed to act anyway after writing the script.For the newspaper industry, high taxes are levied and then subsidized—the same high taxes are charged, and everyone treats them equally. This does not mean that you will not be allowed to speak.However, there are subsidies for those who pass the review, and no subsidies for those who fail.The subsidy and review rights are in the hands of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.You can control my taxation level and inequality, and you can control who I subsidize?

Under such circumstances, the little patriots headed by William Pitt even made it clear:

France, a big country, should not rush.Cut off the wings first, and then plan them slowly.

It has three wings.

One is the sugar-rich islands of the Caribbean; the other is the ginseng mink of Canada; the third is India.

Only by cutting off this wing can France be weakened.

The prosperity of England should be founded on trade, and Britain should aim at trade and colonies.Trade brings wealth, and wealth strengthens armies and navies.It was a project of such colossal proportions that only a man of genius—not a genius at all leading England—could have conceived, let alone realized, it.

So, is the king who has devoted himself to Hanover and the war in Europe a genius?

Do you know where the future of the UK lies?
Do you know how to lead Britain?
Do you know that France is going to take its time and gain advantages overseas first and cut its wings?

Do you know that you shouldn't put a lot of energy, military strength, and financial resources on that shitty thing about Shinra?
Are you the Elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire?Or the King of Great Britain?
You don't understand anything, you can't understand the genius' strategic concept at all, and you deserve to be the king of England?Sooner or later, drive the British ship into the gutter.

So who is the genius?

Of course, the person who proposed this plan and believed that only geniuses could come up with this plan is a genius.

He has a famous saying: If you want to have prestige and power in the British political arena, you must either have the patronage of the king or rely on the influence of the whole country.The national impact is generally produced by the activities of returning to the government.

Since the king didn't like him, especially his criticism of Britain, Hanover's policy, and "patriot" attitude, then naturally, he must choose the latter-gain national influence by opposing the government's activities.

What the king does must be wrong.

Nobody knows Britain better than us little patriots.

And no one loves Britain more than we do.

This is the character design of the little patriots.

Of course, from the perspective of the overall strategy, these little patriots are right, that is indeed the way for Britain to become the emperor of the earth.It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.

... All of the above, the problems that Britain has to face are no less than those of France.

There are Whig and Tory parties on the island.The grandson of James II is still ready to move back to England in France.At the beginning, the Parliament quarreled with the Tory Party and the Whig Party over whether the Catholic James II was eligible to inherit the throne. Now his grandson is still alive and protected by France, and he may return to Scotland at any time.

There is a dispute between father and son in the palace. The crown prince criticizes and ridicules the policies of his father George II all day long. There are a lot of people like William Pitt under his command, who are counting on the death of the king. politician.

Externally, there is a trade dispute between Hannover and Britain.Little patriots can be volatile, and may object to the king's too much involvement in HRE affairs while at the same time unhesitatingly allying with Prussia in order to contain France.But now, the situation has evolved into such a way that the goal of weakening France to contain France seems to have not been achieved, so it would be meaningless to continue fighting.

In North America, India and other places, there is a dispute over whether to return it to France in exchange for a balance in the European continent.

As for the heir, there is also a dispute between the Duke of Cumberland, who has just returned to England from the Austrian Netherlands, and the crown prince, the Duke of Wales.

As long as France adds more fire, sooner or later Britain will be in trouble.

Lewisburg in North America, Pondicherry of the East India Company.

If things are done, coupled with China's shipments, the Netherlands' appearance, and North American smugglers' channels, the speed of North America's centrifugation will inevitably accelerate.

Therefore, when Qi Guogong relayed Liu Yu's words, they finally condensed into one meaning.

France, you should accept it as soon as you see it.

Cease the war early, reach peace with Britain, abandon the Austrian Netherlands and the threat to Hanover, in exchange for Britain returning India and North America, thus planting the seeds of chaos in Britain and the separation of North America.

It is necessary to treat others in the same way as others, drug the UK, and plunge the UK into chaos.In this way, even if France does not get the Austrian Netherlands region, it will still have the original size, and it will be unstoppable to dominate.

The contradictions within Shinra have not been resolved, and the problems of the British, French and Spanish colonies have not been resolved.

Sooner or later, we still have to fight.

It is a wise choice to accept it now and plan for the future war.

The winner is not condemned, but as long as he is alive, there is still hope for the next victory.Only when a person dies can a conclusion be made. Before death, everything is possible.

You should endure being questioned by the country for a while, as long as you win the battle before you die in the future, wouldn't it be fine?
If the King of France is really what Enlightenment scholars call "the king of reason, the embodiment of sovereignty, and the king of philosophers", in fact, this is a choice without hesitation.

For the benefit of the entity of the French community, the solution given by Dashun is the optimal solution.

But Louis XV was not the king of reason, nor the personification of sovereignty, nor the king of philosophers.

What he has to consider is not just the interests of the entities of the French community.

And himself.

To analyze it in the words of the market, that is, "now that the war is ceased, where will I save face"?
This is not the thinking of the emperor using a golden hoe or the emperor's empress eating big cakes. It is that the king is a person first, and the king second. They are not the embodiment of sovereignty, absolutely rational decision makers who put the interests of the national community first.

This is true of France, and so is Dashun.

So Qi Guogong knew very well that no matter how much reason Liu Yu said, if he wanted to implement it, it still had to be on Louis XV.

That's why after talking about a bunch of "beneficial to the country" truths, there are a lot of truths about "earning fame before and after."

After hearing these words, Louis XV was very conflicted.

On the one hand, reason told him that what these Chinese people said made sense.

During Liu Yu's previous visit, the prediction of the direction of the war, the speculation about Prussia's re-declaration of war, and the conception of France's strategic defense first and then its strategic counteroffensive were all verified.Listening to it now, I believe it seven or eight points.

On the other hand, sensibility is also bewitching him.

I still have a few cards in my hand, should I give it a go and play all the cards?
Let Charles Stuart, who is quite prestigious in Scotland, land in Scotland?Let the French navy gather all its strength and send Charles Stuart to England to claim the throne?Take a gamble that the entire French navy will be dispatched to a decisive battle with the British navy in the English Channel?Continue to add troops to Herman so that he can capture the Netherlands before the Russian army intervenes?
Play all the available cards in your hand?
Stud.

If he won the bet, surpassing his great-grandfather and reappearing as the Sun King, everyone will fall in love with him, and all directions will respect him.

Lose... If you lose, you can only pray to God, another girl popped out of a certain farmer in Orleans.
