Chapter 74 The man behind the scenes must be Daming! (For collection, for further reading)

"What? Someone is going to attack India?" Prime Minister Jenkinson looked at the foreign minister who seemed to be in high spirits in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face. After a pause, he asked: "It can't be Daming, right?"

"Of course not," George Canning laughed. "Until the 'Thousand Ships Project' is completed, the Ming Empire will not even touch Malacca and the East Indies. If they don't control Malacca, how can they attack India?"

"Not Daming? Who is that?" Jenkinson was stunned.

"It's Daikin," Robinson, the Minister of Finance who is also the chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, interjected, "Prime Minister, the Indian Affairs Committee has received a telegram from the East India Company saying that Qi Shan, the Consul General of Daikin in Calcutta, has submitted a note to the Governor's Office, The note stated that because the East India Company smuggled pornography to Bukhara and Samarkand, which caused great harm to the local people, it demanded that the pornography trade be prohibited and compensation be paid, otherwise Daikin would send troops.”

"Fuck?" Jenkinson glanced at George Canning, who was already in high spirits, and said, "Then let the East India Company control it. Anyway, places like Bukhara and Samarkand don't have much lucrative water."

"Prime Minister, this is not a matter of oil and water," said Chancellor of the Exchequer Robinson, frowning, "it is related to the majesty of the British Empire and the international free trade system led by the Empire."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted impatiently by the Prime Minister, "Frederick, this is not the House of Commons, so there is no need to say such high-sounding words."

"Yes, Prime Minister," said Robinson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "Emperor Daoguang of the Great Jin Kingdom wants to claim 100 million silver dollars, equivalent to 500 million pounds!"

"What? Is he crazy?" Prime Minister Jenkinson suspected that he had heard it wrong. "Frederick, could it be a mistake?"

"Prime Minister, the committee has repeatedly confirmed it!" Robinson said, "The committee believes that Emperor Daoguang is either cultivating immortals or going crazy...or he is deliberately provoking trouble!"

"Deliberately provoke?" Prime Minister Jenkinson was incredulous, "Why? How dare he provoke the British Empire?"

George Canning shrugged and said, "It's possible he's crazy, but it's also possible that he's being instructed by someone!"

Not to mention, although this George Canning will mess up after being high, he still has a good brain, otherwise he would not become a big boss in the Tory Party!
"George, what do you mean?" Jenkinson frowned, obviously already knowing what George Canning meant.

"Prime Minister," said George Canning, "this is the Ming Empire testing our truth! If we can't beat up opponents like Da Jin, then Da Ming will resolutely carry out their 'One Thousand Ships Plan'. Even if we firmly follow They will also come up with larger-scale shipbuilding plans. However, our population and industrial strength are simply not comparable to that of Deming. Once we start a shipbuilding competition with Deming, we must be the ones who lose in the end! When they overtake us, that's when they attack us!"

Robinson, the chancellor of the exchequer, also said: "Prime Minister, I agree with George! Ming's 'One Thousand Ships Project' and Dajin's provocations appeared at the same time. This cannot be a coincidence!"

Prime Minister Jenkinson nodded, and also agreed with George Canning and Robinson's views. He frowned deeply and said: "This is indeed not a coincidence, but another major event that our British Empire has encountered on its journey to eternal glory. Challenge. The Ming Empire is another Napoleonic Empire!

Moreover, the Ming Empire was a greater threat than the Napoleonic Empire, with a larger population, more advanced technology, and greater industrial strength.After all, Napoleon only owned breech-loading rifles and breech-loading cannons, while Daming now has Hongwu Emperor-class ironclad ships! "

George Canning took up the topic with high spirits at this time, "But in the end, it must be our British Empire that wins this battle! Because the Ming Empire has an insurmountable weakness compared to Emperor Napoleon's empire, and the Ming Dynasty does not belong to the West. Civilization, so we will be able to lead the entire Western civilization to fight against the Eastern civilization of Ming Dynasty. This is not a struggle of more than 2000 million people against [-] million people, but including Americans, Indians, Turks, Arabs and all Spanish-speaking people, including the Raksha people, have a total population of [-] million to tens of millions against the [-] ​​million population of Ming Dynasty. Even in terms of industrial strength, our side is on par with Ming Dynasty!
Although Da Ming is powerful, he has no real and powerful allies he can rely on.Da Jin may be used by Da Ming, but this country has a feud with Da Ming, and it is also a buffer between Da Ming and Rakshasa.If she really fell to Da Ming completely, then Luo Sha might start to attack Da Jin, and Da Ming would have to protect Da Jin at that time, which is not bad for us. "

Jenkinson couldn't help but frowned when George Canning mentioned Rakshasa. Although Nicholas I of Rakshasa was falling into the trap carefully arranged by the British Empire, this country is too big and the population is too large. control!
George Canning was still analyzing happily at this time: "In addition, there is a powerful time bomb around Daming, which is Japan with a population of nearly 3000 million and some heavy industries! Anyone who has been to Japan , everyone knows that it is a very miserable country, and Japan's misfortune is all caused by Ming Dynasty!

Although Ming Dynasty did not annex Japan, or even split Japan, it still caused great harm to Japan.Because Daming's various industries and financial industries are too strong, and it controls the entire East Asia except Japan, which completely stifles the normal development of Japan. Not angry.

In order to obtain huge profits, those Japanese chaebols who were eager to make money even treated their own girls as commodities, and sold them to Daming and Nanyang continuously.This made the middle and lower-level warriors in Japan feel a great humiliation. Therefore, the Japanese warrior class generally hated Ming and the profiteers who colluded with Ming.As long as we can give the necessary support, they will definitely set off a riot, overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate who is very weak towards Ming, confiscate the property of all profiteers who have taken refuge in Ming, and then turn the entire country into a barracks against the Ming Empire! "

George Canning is right, the present Japan is really a country that will explode at any time.

The competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing has always been extremely strong!In the original history, Japan’s domestic gold, silver and copper have been outflowing all year round. Since the Sino-Japanese trade, it has probably been suffering from a deficit until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

And Daming on this timeline is the first to be industrialized!Moreover, it also won more than 1000 million square kilometers of the mainland, and also ate Siam, Myanmar, Annan, Chenla, and Nanzhang. The capital of Ming Dynasty also controlled the industries of Malacca and the Dutch East Indies-there were actually white people In charge of suppressing the aborigines, Daming capital is responsible for exploiting the aboriginals, and then the white people and Daming capital happily share the money. In short, Daming’s industry has scale advantages, technological advantages, cheap raw materials, and a huge domestic and export market. Japan Products cannot compete with it at all. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate implements tariff protection, it cannot stop the continuous flow of smuggled goods.

And the only "commodity" produced in Japan that is extremely competitive in Ming Dynasty is really a bit sinful, so it is not surprising that Japan has been turned into a powder keg.

Since it is a powder keg ready to explode at any time, how could the British Empire not light the fire?

Jenkinson already had a claim. He said to Robinson, the chancellor of the exchequer who is also the chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee: "Frederick, I think the East India Company must deal the heaviest blow to Emperor Daoguang. If he really dares to invade India!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

"George," said Jenkinson again to the Foreign Secretary, "I need a plan to support the patriotic samurai of Japan!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"
