New Shun 1730

Modify the shield:

After the same road, there will be a divergence.

Since the emperor chose to support the attack on India, it was equivalent to the emperor making an expensive and gorgeous rope for hanging.

Of course, this rope for hanging may be the same as the one Chongzhen had, or it may be a new product that has never been seen before. It depends on who forced him to hang himself.

The Indian market became the largest market for the Dashun Industrial Capital Group, and with the dumping and squeezing, it triggered the uprising and chaos in India, causing a sharp decline in the market.

India awakened, and the crisis of the sharp decline in the market was transmitted back to Dashun, causing an economic crisis of relative oversupply of extreme commodities, triggering Dashun's own crisis.

The emperor had no choice.

From the perspective of his own family, he thought that it was indeed good to attack India, collect taxes to enrich the treasury, and maintain his own rule.

In his view, it was just a different version of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

But in fact, the rapidly developing industry and commerce on the Dashun side had to sell things.

Either sell to India.

Or sell to the country outside Songsu.

The court always had to consider the livelihoods of merchants and workshops, but given the reality, it also had to consider the livelihoods of small farmers who farmed and weaved.

Selling to India does seem to do both.

It does not hurt small farmers who farmed and weaved.

It also does not leave those who "die if unemployed and live if employed" without a livelihood.

After all, selling to the country is to destroy the stable men farming and women weaving of Dashun.

For the imperial power, it is of course a dead end.

The economic foundation of the imperial power is the small peasant economy. Whether it is the noble landlords who run manors, Wubao County, military vassal towns, or the emerging class who do something new, the imperial power will not feel good.

Disintegrating the men farming and women weaving system will make most small farmers unable to survive, and most of them will have to receive a Chongzhen-style one.

Selling to India is actually still death, but it is just chronic poisoning. The emperor cannot see it before the threshold is reached.

Spinning machines will always replace hand-rolled cotton yarn. The more developed the weaving industry in Dashun is, the more people in India will engage in hand-rolled cotton yarn.

The more they rub, the more developed Dashun's weaving industry will be, and they will try their best to sell to India.

The more they sell, the cheaper it is, and the less handmade cloth there is in India, so more people will rub cotton yarn.

After the technology upgrade and replacement, once Dashun uses steam and mule machines, hundreds of thousands or millions of people who used to rub cotton strips and wind cotton yarn will be unemployed instantly.

The more people there are, the greater the chaos will be.

The greater the chaos, the more depressed the market will be.

The market is depressed and the market is urgently needed. This problem must be solved.

Either, open up the internal market and disintegrate the small peasant economy.

Or, eliminate the class basis that produces this old era and unprecedented crisis, eliminate the emerging class, eliminate machines, and eliminate industry.

Or... In fact, there is no either, the earth is so big, and the market with consumption capacity is so small.

No matter who you choose between these two either, no one will die.

One of the two sides must die.

If neither of them is willing to die voluntarily, then they can only fight.

Whoever wins will listen to him.

The final result is nothing more than three.

Either:

The most sophisticated feudal rulers jumped out and pretended to be a monster, with the Confucian characteristics of average fantasy plus loyalty and filial piety, landlords' military merits and good family sons, the retro Yan Li school of military four classes and the theory of eliminating heresy, and the chaebols, doing the extreme reactionary loyalty to the emperor and petty bourgeoisie.

Liu Yu made all the parts of this monster because of his various compromises and helplessness for the reform.

Liu Yu taught many monsters, especially those who came from the new learning system.

They are traditional, continuing the traditional mentality since the Song and Ming dynasties that scholars are naturally superior to others.

They are also distorted. They ridicule themselves for not being scholars. Of course, the scholar-official class at this time does not recognize them as scholars, but in fact they still regard themselves as traditional scholars in their hearts, and naturally think that they should be superior to others.

When the crisis breaks out.

A group of officers from good families with military merits, whose core is small and medium-sized landlords; matched with a group of petty bourgeoisie who are marginalized in the city, with the mentality of traditional scholars, suffering in the economic crisis, wanting to be superior but unable to do so, and newly learned intellectuals...

This weird combination of rural and urban, small and medium-sized landlords and petty bourgeoisie, must be made in accordance with the tradition. What a strange, weird and terrible thing it is, it goes without saying.

Either:

The emerging class controls and exploits the lower class, gets rid of the emperor and the feudal system, the small peasant economy, tears apart the difference between inside and outside, and forcibly pulls the entire Dashun province, city, and countryside into the new system.

This is also a way to expand the market.

The Indian market exploded, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan supplemented it. They always have to eat enough, and if they don’t eat enough, they will die.

Then, they will sell the lower class that has been used up.

The bourgeoisie of Dashun officially stepped onto the stage of history to see if they can resist the super-large-scale uprising of the collapse of the small peasant economy.

Liu Yu had no choice but to reform, which made it impossible for the new class of Dashun to become compradors. Once they felt that they could compete with the imperial power, they were really weak and cruel.

It was a hard test to get rid of the feudal rulers, break the old era, and resist the great uprising of the disintegration of the small peasant economy caused by the severe transformation.

If you fail this test, it means that you are useless even if you are given a chance.

Either:

…When the most reactionary feudal elements in Europe finally reach the Great Wall, the gate of the most reactionary and conservative fortress, they will definitely see the most shining, most weighty, and heaviest crown in the world since 221 BC, falling to the ground and shattered, and no one dares to pick it up.

When these most conservative feudal elements in Europe read out the name of the country on the Great Wall in the Latin they are familiar with - because the most conservative feudal elements in Europe must not speak English, not even Latin, how can they be the most conservative feudal forces in Europe - so they will read out the name of this country like this:

SINAEAN POPULUSQUE REPUBLIQUE

S·P·Q·R

If it comes to this, then the imperial power, nobles, nobles, good family groups and feudal forces, gentry wastes, and rentier landlords of Dashun will definitely be swept away.

Because it is the most reactionary and conservative fortress of feudal forces, there is no compromise, it will only be smashed to pieces.

Either you die or I die.

But it doesn't matter. Once the door is closed, the meat will rot in the pot.

When India completed its mission of transmitting revolution, its value to China was only "not in the hands of others, so when Dashun was bombed, no outsiders could get involved in Southeast Asia and East Asia - because without India as a springboard, it was out of reach."

After the internal bombing, the border was in Ceylon Province.

The further the border expanded, the greater the degree of life and death and no room for compromise when bombing, because if there was no interference from external forces, there would be no possibility of compromise in the tradition of unifying the world.

In the absence of external interference, it was the winner who crushed the enemy with ease.

Therefore, the matter of India was very important to Dashun, but more important to China.

It was necessary to serve as a raw material production base and market to fatten up the emerging group of Songsu and raise millions of other half who would spend half their lives with it.

It was also necessary to undertake the task of transmitting the contradictions back to Dashun after the awakening of India and the shrinking of the market after the uprising.

This was internal strength, which was crucial.

This concerns the fate of the world: the synchronized and comprehensive industrialization of East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, led by China and carried out in parallel with Europe, and the relative overproduction that caused the collapse of the old world...

On the contrary, Meng Songlu laid the foundation in Honolulu for the future division of North America into French, Chinese, British, Spanish, and a buffer zone for the indigenous North American nations, which is secondary.

It doesn't even need to be taken seriously or managed.

Because the world is material.

The sandalwood in Honolulu, the gold in San Francisco, Yukon River and Seattle, and the silver in the old Silver Mountain.

The lack of labor, the temptation of profit, and the shortage of precious metal currency caused by the industrial development of Dashun.

These realistic material conditions will inevitably lead to a large migration across the Pacific Ocean that will last for decades; an eastward movement that belongs to Dashun, and the development of the Americas.

It is precisely because the world is material that Dashun's invasion of India is destined to never commit a crime like the Opium War.

It's not that the bourgeoisie of Dashun is made of special materials, but because the real material world is destined to be unprofitable.

After all, the profit of the opium trade is essentially because the Qing government still maintains a certain degree of centralization and bans opium throughout the country.

The real demand of the British bourgeoisie in the Opium War is actually China's ban on opium.

So the Opium War using "free trade" as an excuse is extremely absurd.

Lao Ma's prediction soon came true. When the Qing government released opium lijin, local separatism, and self-planting and selling in order to suppress the uprising, the Indian opium planting industry soon realized how ridiculous the excuse of "free trade" was.

There is no stuff with any technological content, so it is not worthy of using free trade as an excuse.

Now India has neither a Mughal Empire that can enforce the law nor a ban on smoking.

Delhi, the imperial center that can be lifted by the Afghans, is selling hibiscus cream to India at this time, which is simply selling soybeans to Yingkou, selling salt to Haizhou, and selling sugarcane to Nanyang.

Business genius.

Old Ma also said that under the conditions of gold and silver currency, there is only so much currency. If you buy opium, you can't buy cotton cloth.

Those who can afford opium are the main consumers of goods. The lower class can neither afford opium nor cotton cloth.

Britain launched the evil Opium War because it balanced the trade deficit.

India did absorb a lot of gold and silver precious metals from America, Europe and Persia two hundred years ago, but Dashun did not have to sell that stuff to get the gold and silver away.

Liu Yu had a hard time setting up the industrial revolution in Songsu. At this time, he would not stop selling cotton cloth and sell hibiscus cream instead.

After that, he still couldn't sell it, but was making wedding clothes for the Indian princes, letting them collect taxes after planting, accumulating money, raising soldiers and buying guns to resist the invasion of Dashun?

Let the Indian princes take the opium tax from the "middle class", buy British guns and French cannons, and arm a group of suffering people at the bottom who were impacted by Dashun's goods, and drive Dashun into the sea?

Since Lao Ma has already taught us about this problem, let's just sell industrial products honestly.

On the one hand, it is unprofitable in material reality.

On the other hand, the core of the Dashun Empire has not collapsed, the court still has a say, and the development in India is not that of a private Indian company, so at least the smoking ban can be enforced.

For the court, or the emperor, he did not want the Indian princes to take the opium tax and go to Britain and France to buy guns and cannons to resist the invasion of Dashun.

Another thing is that such a thing is really unacceptable to a conservative tradition with a deep moral tradition.

Dashun will not spit in the well, because Dashun still needs to drink the water in this well.
