New Shun 1730

With such a scene, if there is no chaos after death, it would really be a wonder in the ages.

Perhaps, the traditional culture of Dashun is certainly different from that of Bangladesh.

Perhaps, the history of Dashun is completely different from that of Bangladesh.

But, does this prevent those who have read history books of Dashun from coming to the conclusion that "there will be chaos after death"?

Obviously, it does not prevent it at all.

This has nothing to do with the differences between tradition, culture, and history.

Du Feng knew that the fight would start soon.

He also knew that the order given to him by the emperor and the Privy Council was to wait, and not to hesitate when it was time to take action.

The Privy Council's several plans, possibilities, and calculations were implemented according to the plan.

Dashun has not moved, just waiting for France to withdraw and for Bangladesh to become chaotic.

Moreover, Dashun has a huge advantage.

Because Dashun entered the market late, Dashun has a good relationship with the heir who is in his early 20s.

Because the trade volume between Dashun and Bangladesh is small, Dashun has a good relationship with any heir who is committed to the independence of Bangladesh.

Because the Dashun court was aiming to collect taxes, no one can see the ambition of Dashun clearly now.

To put it bluntly, this young man in his early 20s died because he wanted to be independent, open to trade, and control trade profits and tariffs in his own hands.

He offended the British, offended his aunt and uncle who controlled the customs, offended the Sikh merchants of the comprador group, and offended the major compradors.

If he hadn't died, it is estimated that his means and level would have ranked among the top ten emperors in Chinese history.

However, he didn't have this level.

So he died in history.

Dashun entered the market late, and there are advantages to entering late.

Dashun's trade volume in India is not large, but there are also advantages to not having a small trade volume.

Because the trade volume is not large and entering the market late means that any feudal monarch who is ambitious for independence will choose Dashun as an ally.

The British entered the market early, so they have their own power in Kolkata.

The British have a large trade volume, so they have a very strong comprador group to cooperate with the British.

Will the established comprador group allow the successor to take over the power of tariffs, trade, etc. to the government? Obviously not.

Can the successor be a comprador at ease?

This choice is only possible if you have a divine eye.

Otherwise, I have 12,000 cavalry, 35,000 musketeers, 60 French cannons, and 3,000 elite cavalry warriors; while the British only have 700 to 800 people, or even thousands of people... The advantage is on my side. I am not a monarch, but a dog?

Just looking at this data, how can I lose?

In fact, this data is really good, but I didn't expect something like "Sekigahara God of War Kobayakawa Hideaki" and "Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi turned against each other under Jinyang City"... But this kind of thing is definitely not in the paper data. Looking at the paper, it is indeed my advantage.

With such a good hand, why let the British dominate the trade?

Why can't we capture Calcutta, make the British trade honestly, take the tariff power into our own hands, dominate trade, make more money, and then defeat the Marathas and the Afghans, recreate the glorious era of Aurangzeb, and be the emperor of India, isn't it better than being a fiefdom in Bengal?

It is very normal to have this idea, and it is not a delusion, especially when Britain can only station one or two thousand soldiers in India and France is involved. It is really normal.

And in the subsequent trials, it was found that the British were not difficult to fight. It is not difficult to catch a hundred British and throw them into jail.

But the problem is that in this situation, the enemy is often not outside, but inside.

Internal problems will inevitably lead to external interference.

To solve internal problems, you have to seize power, you have to regain tariff autonomy, you have to offend the comprador group, offend the customs and military logistics forces of the aunt, otherwise you can't face the outside world.

The same is true in reverse. If he chooses to attack the outside world first, then the ambitious people and opponents inside will quickly kill him and make him fail in the outside world. Even a fool knows that after you drive the British away, the next step is to deal with us compradors. Can we, the compradors, concentrate on working for you? We can't kill you.

Of course, this is not completely unsolvable. From the history books of Dashun, there are some masters who play politics, seize military power, grab money bags, and maneuver in history books. It is still very simple to break this situation-for those heroes who rank high in history, this start is really good, and it is not difficult at all.

As for the several forces that are qualified to enter the market at this time, Dashun is just the most special one.

The trade between Dashun and Bengal is limited to saltpeter.

That's it.

Dashun neither buys cotton cloth from Bengal.

Nor does it buy opium from Bengal.

Let alone buy other messy goods from Bengal.

Dashun and Bengal's merchant groups have no intersection.

It's not that they are aloof, but that they can't get along.

After Dashun drove away the Dutch and took over the magpie's nest, the group of people in Bengal who controlled foreign trade had already approached Dashun.

The trade exchanges between Dashun and them can be said to be boring.

Dashun asked: Hey, we have cotton cloth here, do you want it?

The Bengali merchant said: We have it too, our muslin is the best cotton cloth in India, and we are thinking of selling it to you.

Dashun asked: Hey, do you want coarse cloth?

The Bengali merchant replied: No, our coarse cloth production is also the first in India.

"What about silk?"

"The silk of Rajshahi is inferior to yours, but better than Ottoman and Italian goods."

"What about sugar?"

"The Chinese slave uprising before Batavia was partly due to the sharp drop in the price of our Bengal sugar."

"What about gems?"

"We produce as much as Ceylon."

"What about gold powder?"

"We are Sunni or Shia, not Hindu, and we don't like this stuff. We export rice and opium, do you want it?"

"No. Opium is not allowed to be smoked, and you will die if you are caught; rice is not profitable when it is transported to where it is needed."

The two sides communicated for a long time and found that either the goods were homogeneous and could not be sold; those with different qualities, such as opium, were not allowed to be planted in Dashun, and could not be planted; in theory, Dashun must have a shortage of rice, but the problem is that in areas with convenient sea transportation, the grain price in Dashun is very stable and does not make money.

The trade volume between the two sides is very small.

The group of people in Bengal who controlled the trade were of course pro-British, because the British bought goods from them and tried to reduce their dependence on Dashun's goods.

Therefore, Dashun's late entry and small trade volume became Dashun's advantages, because Dashun was obviously an ideal partner for the Bengali ruler who was determined to regain trade and tariff rights.

This is a bit like a strange lesson from history.

Afghans may rule India; Marathas may also rule India.

But how could a group of people from the sea think of ruling India and ruling India for the purpose of collecting taxes?

Therefore, the 20-year-old heir had already connected with Dashun.

His little thoughts were clearly seen by Liu Yu.

If played well, it was actually killing two birds with one stone.

This little heir was not anti-British, because he still had to do business with the British, and Dashun did not buy goods from Bengal.

He just wanted to take the initiative in trade and the dominance of tariffs into his own hands and make money.

Dashun had been buying saltpeter from Bengal, and Dashun still had some special goods, such as porcelain, but the British East India Company could also get the goods, but Dashun could not sell them due to its sales network and influence in Bengal.

Therefore, this clever little heir who thought he could maneuver took the initiative to find Dashun, wanting to kill two birds with one stone.

He promised that Dashun would have the exclusive right to purchase Bengal saltpeter mines in the future, and promised that Dashun's porcelain and other goods would be tax-free.

If Dashun was defeated, then the trade between China and Britain would definitely be over, and the two countries would inevitably have a violent conflict, and Dashun would definitely seal up the British East India Company's trading house in Dashun.

After the Sino-British trade was over, he could naturally continue to do business with Britain and continue to sell his cotton cloth, silk and other goods. After all, Bengal was a handicraft power second only to Dashun, with many alternative options.

At that time, he would not only leave the British East India Company with no choice but to accept trade with him, but also help him regain tariff rights and trade dominance through Dashun.

It was a good idea.

If Dashun was a European country; if the fleet and army had to bypass Africa and the Indian subcontinent to get here; if Dashun's cities with tens of thousands of native people were tens of thousands of miles away...

This idea is actually quite good.

It's a pity that Dashun was aiming to support puppets from the beginning; to collect land tax, population tax, and salt tax.

It was aiming to pull out the elite cavalry, artillery, combat engineers, and mobilized soldiers from the Nanyang Protectorate to fill the line once the war started.

It didn't want to be like the British, colluding with this and that, taking advantage of opportunities, and winning by micro-manipulation.

Use force to defeat cleverness.

What they are waiting for is chaos.

The one who is bound to lose in the chaos is the one that Dashun is betting on.

When Dashun loses to the point of crying, he will have plenty of ways.

Or:

Eastern things have Eastern stories.

In the second year of Shangyuan of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Perus, son of Yazdegerd III, the king of all kings of Sassanid Persia, went to Chang'an and was awarded the title of General of the Right Guard.

In the Celestial Empire, it is better to go through the necessary procedures.

Or:

The general is away, and the king has ordered "to act at your convenience".

But no matter what, whether or not to complete some necessary procedures, the army is still the one who will accomplish all this in the end.

Especially in this era when all forces will build castles and rely on bastions to delay time.

The professional heavy infantry and combat engineers specially established by Dashun for attacking bastions need to continue to expand and train hard at any time.

Who knows when an eighty-four-year-old man will die.

The Chinese in Sri Lanka have the advantages of the Chinese in Sri Lanka.

They are familiar with the hot environment, and those who are not familiar with it will die.

They are used to eating rice. After all, the miners have money in recent years and want to eat flour. Before, they had to eat rice.

The proportion of miners is very high. Shovel, dynamite, mattock, digging holes are all skills for making a living.

Being the closest to India, it can go ashore at any time, demolish fortresses, seize bastions, and even before the artillery support from Malacca arrives, it can rely on professional combat engineers to gnaw down key castles and buy time.

Including the system of granting Tianfu soldiers to the Guiyi Army, they were all prepared for this day since the initial voyage to Southeast Asia.

Dashun's India plan strategically requires "no allies, no traitors, no bribery" when entering the game.

Why should we learn the British and French system of one or two thousand people when we have piled up tens of thousands of Han people who survived the brutal screening in Ceylon many years in advance?
