New Shun 1730

It sounds like the people here in Dashun also have brain problems.

Can this thing be negotiated just by talking?

Actually, there is no problem.

Because a long time ago, there was a group of "universal love" and "non-offensive" people here who loved peace and opposed war.

And how they did it is recorded in history books.

Is it all by mouth?

No, it was because of a group of more violent violent groups that the leader of that group of pacifists dared to meet the King of Chu alone to talk about peace and withdrawal. Because there was a professional and powerful violent group behind him, the King of Chu withdrew his troops.

This story is the same now.

Can you negotiate for rent reduction, interest rate reduction, and land price reduction just by talking?

Of course not.

Instead, they relied on Dashun to support the French and Indian muskets.

Now this situation is before John Bean.

Tube? That's easy to say. Or use force to suppress it, or reduce rents and prices.

in spite of? Britain cannot protect itself now, and will definitely have to sign a border treaty by then. With the Indians armed with French cannons, Dashun's muskets, and the "Yiding" forest light infantry supported by Dashun, there can certainly be peace.

Not peaceful?

After this battle, Britain did not dare to go to war again for twenty years, and was unable to go to war again.

This is related to many domestic problems in the UK. It is impossible for the UK to maintain a large-scale standing army, especially after being blocked by Dashun in India. The issue of standing army is the UK's national foundation. It would really take a state-level dispute to raise a standing army.

Once trade was cut off, the landowners in Britain would jump high and oppose the standing army. This is not simply about buying an official position and team training as the last guarantee to defend British freedom, but a more "vulgar" land tax issue.

By then, you, Pennsylvania, will handle the troubles caused by you. When the vengeful Indians invade Philadelphia directly with the help of French artillery and Dashun skirmishers, you will take care of it yourself.

The French are very keen on supporting other people's artillery. Whether it is real Indians or fake Indians, artillery is a technical job, and France will always have "volunteer" artillerymen on the side of the forces that want to support them.

Dashun people are very keen on training light infantry skirmishers. From the beginning of the military reform to the Whale Sea Fur Company's cowpox relay in North America, Dashun recruited many forest light infantry rifled gun hunters. From the mountains and forests of northern Xinjiang in the Western Regions, to the skirmishers, cavalry and artillery in Southeast Asia and India to counter the Mongolian cavalry, and then to the shit sticks in North America, they are all keen to send a large number of light infantry soldiers recruited from the old forests.

John Bean was still sane, and he was different from those "Scotch-Irish frontiersmen." He knew very well that if the French did not leave and Dashun interfered on the west coast, then sooner or later something big would happen to this western border issue.

This important matter cannot be avoided.

To support border friction, taxes must be collected. Because originally it could be solved by relying on the Scottish and Irish frontiersmen who fled. Militia, regiment training, self-arming, beating the Indians who couldn't get muskets after driving the French away, at least they could shoot 50-50.

But the reality is that it is impossible for the French to leave. Dashun has landed in the west to colonize again. Not to mention muskets, the Indians can get cannons if they want.

It would be a dream to rely on that little regiment to train the militia to defeat the supported Indians, or Dashun's mercenaries, French "volunteers", or the armed caravans of fur traders.

Only a standing army can be formed. To form a standing army, you have to collect taxes.

Even if we don’t support border friction, we still have to collect taxes.

If you don’t support border friction, you must have tools of violence, right?

Without even a tool of violence, who will comply with the regulations of the state government? The Paxton Boys massacre is about to happen in history. The state government said it would give the Indians an explanation, but it has no effect? Two hundred or so people can kill in Philadelphia directly, without even a tool of violence, and rely on words to uphold the law?

If you want tools of violence, you have to tax them. How can you organize tools of violence if you don’t have money?

As for taxation, this is precisely the most difficult thing in North America.

Historically, Hamilton planned the Newburgh Incident with people from the Treasury Department in order to collect taxes.

They were unable to collect taxes, had no financial resources, and did not pay wages or retirement pensions. They deliberately spread the news about not paying wages and retirement pensions, and then incited the soldiers to "kill the national traitors."

The Delaware River is turbulent, clouds are flying on the Capitol Hill, carnivores are despicable, and the enemy is in Congress. Why not bring a gun to Beijing and use a bayonet to teach those congressmen what the state and taxation are.

That is to say, North America is vast, sparsely populated and rich in resources. It is better to go back to farming without receiving retirement pension than most people in the world, including Europe, at that time. If the resources per capita were less, then the national traitors would really be punished in advance.

Under this circumstance, it is really difficult for John Bean to use simple words such as "support" and "opposition" to describe Dashun's dispatch of troops to aid France and landing in Pennsylvania.

But Chen Qinghai ridiculed him that he should lower the land rent, so he tried to reason with Chen Qinghai, explaining that the ownership of these lands belonged to their family, and their family owned...

However, the truth was only half explained. Chen Qinghai interrupted and told some stories starting from Green Forest, Red Eyebrow, and Yellow Turban.

After talking a little casually, he said: "The greatest truth is for people to live. If you don't want to be an An'an starving, then the hungry people always have their own reasons. Their reasons are not your reasons; your reasons are not theirs either. That’s right. I think you must have heard that our country is controlled by the rebel army, and the slogan is equalizing the land and freeing food.”

"I am not here to reason with you today."

"I am just being more straightforward. The Celestial Empire has already cultivated the west coast, and it needs a buffer state, a buffer zone along the Appalachian Mountains."

"And Britain can no longer bear it. I don't know if you have heard the news that William Pitt, who fanatically supported total war, committed suicide. Britain's national debt has also exploded. Unless Britain restores the five-for-one land tax, it may not even be able to repay the interest on the national debt."

"In this case, Britain will definitely accept armistice negotiations."

"You can say that Britain betrayed you."

"It depends on how much you are willing to pay for the freedom you want. Without the British regular army, can you survive in the Appalachian Mountains? "

"You think that Britain accepted the armistice, which was a "second order of chaos, and the United States did not obey the imperial edict". Then you can fight, and we will continue to send people."

"The question is, you have to think clearly, how many people are willing to spend money, work, and send people for this "freedom", and fight a regular field battle with us and the French on the border for a group of Scottish Irish without the help of the British regular army?"

"This is the reality I am talking about. If they can't cross the Appalachian Mountains, then those frontiersmen will always want land."

"Are we terrible? Or are you terrible?"

"Originally, you are more terrible, because they have to face the Indians. Choose the lesser of two evils. The Indians are not as terrible as you, so They chose to fight the Indians. "

"And now, compared to our alliance with the French and the Indians, you are not so terrible."

"The Scots and Irish have always been like this. They would draw their swords against the weaker ones. If they had any backbone, they would have risen up to resist when they were seized by the British and forced to move to agricultural plantations as serfs."

"It can be seen that they only dare to attack the weaker people, but not the strong ones."

"That's why I said that you should seriously consider your family's land, land rent, land tax, and land ownership issues in Pennsylvania."

"You talk about God and reason."

"We talk about reason and history."

"And based on history, we can be very sure that if we can't cross the Appalachian Mountains, then it will inevitably We have to face the demand for equal distribution of land and land for all who till it. "

"To be honest, the conflict between Pennsylvania and the Indians is entirely your family's fault. You have occupied too much land, but you are not doing anything. Isn't it for this reason that the Scots and Irish chose to cultivate land in places you can't control, which eventually led to conflicts with the Indians? "

"This is a simple story of a harsh government being more ferocious than a tiger. You think that you can kill tigers with muskets, but times have changed. We will continue to provide muskets to the Indians. "

"It's not because of this reason or that reason, or that human life should be respected, or that Indians are also human beings. "

"It's just because we need a buffer zone along the Appalachian Mountains. "

"The French will pay this money for the fur ginseng in the Appalachian Mountains. "

"We are willing to pay this money for the land on the West Coast. "

"Can you imagine a country with a population of more than 300 million people longing for arable land? ”

“We have a principle that if we want to defend the Yangtze River, we must defend the Huai River; if we want to defend North China, we must defend the Yanshan Mountains; if we want to defend Guanzhong, we must defend Longxi. The same principle applies. If we want to defend the arable land on the west coast, we must defend the Appalachian Mountains. We need this buffer zone.”

“I haven’t been to the Appalachian Mountains. But I guess it’s similar to the Taihang Mountains, and there must be dangerous passes such as the Taihang Eight Passes. This is a natural dividing line.”

“In short, what we mean is to advise you. Instead of being hung on a tree and having your land divided in the future, why not take the initiative to step back and still be a rich man?”

“We are doing this for your own good.”

“You have always had the strip field system, the share field system, and the manor serf system. So you may not understand how terrible the land division uprising under the self-cultivation and private ownership is. "

Historically, John Byng was lucky enough not to be shot or "tarred and feathered". He was just locked up in a castle for many years. In the end, he "voluntarily" handed over the ownership of the land, avoided death, and shared the compensation of 130,000 pounds with his two cousins.

Of course, it was not silver, but revolutionary coupons.
