New Shun 1730

Although the use of force to deter is not something to be praised.

But the reality is so ridiculous.

At the Albany Conference, Franklin denounced "the thirteen state legislatures and the majority of people are narrow-minded, jealous of each other, and suspicious of any central tax authority."

After a lot of reasoning, he was helpless in the end.

Dashun didn't even make sense, or it didn't have time to make sense.

It just sent troops to support France, attacked two plantations in the south, and finally demonstrated its military strength in the wasteland near Philadelphia.

So the difficulties that had given Franklin a headache before seemed to be solved all at once, and many people figured it out all at once.

It felt better to form a common parliament of thirteen states with the right to levy taxes and military power.

After Dashun demonstrated its military power, it built several huge tents near the army's station as a meeting place with the prominent figures in these states.

The first day of the meeting was held in an atmosphere where everyone was less bullshitting.

The reason why everyone is not talking nonsense is that the North American group did not start with the Treaty of Tordesillas, and then derived the [International Law] from this treaty - for any non-Christian land, the principle of [discovery means acquisition of ownership] is followed.

Because if you talk about this "International Law", it is a bit like pointing at a monk and scolding a bald man.

The people of Dashun are neither Christians nor a Christian country, so according to this "International Law", the land of Dashun can be used as a colony of Christian countries.

This is just looking for trouble.

After all, it is okay to talk about "International Law" with small tribes and countries with no resistance.

Talking about "International Law" with a country like Dashun, Dashun has to question: I didn't participate, what kind of international law is it? Where does the international come from?

Besides, if you start from this treaty, the things derived from it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the officers of Dashun, who will feel insulted: So according to what you said, Dashun should be a colony?

At that time, if a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps; if the emperor gets angry, blood will flow and pestle will float... and Philadelphia will be burned directly, that would be bad.

So, since the nonsense international law of [discovery is possession] cannot be discussed, there is no need to debate, and we can just talk about business directly.

Some things are very simple and easy to talk about as long as we don't debate, and everyone will not talk about things that are irrelevant or at odds with each other.

After all, the "elites" of various states who came here to attend the meeting, in fact, according to the moral values ​​of Dashun... what the hell are they?

For example, the representative of Maryland, the son of the governor of Maryland, and one of the hosts of the last Albany Conference, Benjamin Tasker.

In Dashun, he was also a person who was arrested and "locked on a urine bucket" in prison. The main business of the family to make money is not much different from Liu Mazi in Lao She's "Tea House", trafficking in people and buying and selling women.

For example, William Johnson, the representative of New York State, was a Catholic at first. After his uncle was promoted to rear admiral, he found a way for him in North America, and he immediately issued a declaration that severely denounced Catholicism and the Roman Catholic Church, and announced that he had converted to Protestantism.

If that were the case, it could only be regarded as a pursuit of a self-upgrade channel or something.

But the bad thing is that in the issue of the western border in history, the western land he obtained was originally west of the watershed. For this reason, he "represented the interests of the North American people" and "argued with the British government" to move the dividing line westward and include the land he enclosed.

If that were the case, it could be said that fighting for the interests of others would not hinder fighting for his own interests.

The key point is that after the border line was moved to the border of his enclosure, he immediately turned against it and firmly supported the British Western Act, believing that anyone who crossed the border should be punished. The reason is that the enclosure of Washington and others was further west, and if the border continued to expand westward, it would inevitably attract a strong backlash from the Indians, and his enclosure would also be retaliated.

This is really too... too fucked up. You get in the car, and you have to weld the door shut?

Basically, the vast majority of people who come to the meeting are such people with corrupt morals, monsters, slave traders and the like.

But there is also one advantage.

That is, this group of people are real egoists.

Compared with the foolish self-righteous egoists who are actually fake egoists who don't know that they have sold themselves, the real egoists are easier to deal with.

At least, this group of people knows when to advance, when to retreat, when to be passionate, and when to talk about patriotism.

Of course, Dashun is not here to do good things.

In Liu Yu's view, it is very easy to bury the mines in North America.

Because the North American War of Independence in history was not only the independence of the colonies against the mother country, but also contained a strong color of class struggle.

What this means is that the property and assets of the anti-British people were confiscated and redistributed internally, which greatly eased the internal contradictions in North America.

It is obviously a class struggle, but it is covered with a pro-British and anti-British coat. This greatly affected the awakening of the North American people and concealed the real contradiction - the awakening in this context was not the same as the "First Great Awakening" defined in North America at this time.

Now, what Liu Yu wants to promote is to remove the "anti-British" skin, remove the real cruel and real things, remove those abstractions, and show them to the North American people in the future.

Many problems, can they be solved by separating from Britain?

Will we no longer have to pay taxes if we separate from Britain?

Will we be able to solve the western frontier problem by replacing "our own people" if we separate from Britain?

These two biggest points of intensification of anti-British contradictions at the time, in the eyes of later generations, none of them have been solved.

After North America separated, we no longer have to pay taxes? Obviously, this is a joke.

Will the western frontier problem be solved by replacing "our own people"? Obviously, this is also a joke, because the "Paris Treaty" was signed in 1983 and the country was officially established. In 1990, the North American government itself discovered that the western frontier problem was a financial black hole, and it also issued the "Royal Western Act of 1763" that they strongly opposed at the beginning.

So, how to promote the true awakening of the North American people, instead of being confused by the so-called religious awakening?

Simple, pull this group of reactionaries and slave traders to really build the North American Congress, suppress the contradictions and continue to intensify them, so that they can't use "anti-British" as a cover to cover up the contradictions in the future.

There are no pro-British big landlords and big businessmen's property and land; and the western border must be determined not to open up wasteland to the west.

Liu Yu wants to see what kind of tricks this group of people can play.

In other words, he wants to see whether the "ordinary and great national character of the Anglo-Saxons" really exists.

Are there more idealists who believe in "no taxation without representation"? Or are there more realists who "don't want to pay taxes".

And, if the matter of "dividing the landlords' land" is not covered with a coat of "they are pro-British traitors, so it is reasonable to confiscate their property, property and real estate", will those who want land also become heroes such as Li Zicheng, Huang Chao, and Zhang Jue?

In general, a country's historical opportunity period is very short. For North America, or America, if history remains unchanged, their opportunity period is before June 18, 1815.

Before this opportunity period, policies such as the Embargo Act and a strong government must be passed to allow comprador capital and commercial capital to flow into industry and lay the foundation for manufacturing. Once this opportunity period is missed, it will be quite difficult.

Now, everything has changed. The participation of Dashun has increased the difficulties faced by the North American people: by then, they will not only have to oppose the mother country, but also the comprador and landlord class in the country, and also the imperialist interference.

The vast majority of people who are now sitting here negotiating with Dashun and are about to become the thirteen state legislatures established according to the "Albany Conference Principles", that is, the group of people that Dashun is supporting, have a very clear class nature.

Compradors.

Big landlords.

Big slave owners.

Plantation owners who will be the beneficiaries of the raw material production areas in the process of synchronous industrial revolution and industrialization in the East and the West.

The attitude of the Dashun negotiating representatives also expressed this attitude very clearly.

Even though Dashun had just attacked plantations in the South and rescued a group of slaves.

However, since this group of people did not debate, Dashun did not debate either, and even deliberately did not mention the justice of rescuing slaves.

This can be regarded as a kind of unspoken tacit understanding between the two sides.

If the North American group talked to Dashun about the so-called "International Law" derived from the "Treaty of Tordesillas" that "non-Christian countries all follow the principle of discovery and possession".

Then, the Dashun group would definitely talk about issues such as slaves and Indian land ownership.

They had some brains and did not talk about the so-called "International Law" in front of Dashun.

Then Dashun would return the favor and not talk about some corresponding issues that had been talked about in Dashun in front of these big compradors, big landlords, and slave traders.

Of course, Dashun is still a monarchy, and society is still a feudal society with landlord ownership.

However, equal distribution of land, opposition to any form of slavery, and opposition to the system of slavery have always been politically correct within Dashun.

Doing it or not is one thing.

But in Chinese history, except for a period that was more stinking and reactionary than the feudal dynasty, most of the time, those who talked about equal distribution of land, nationalization of land, and rent and interest reduction would not be executed. On the contrary, many scholars and officials would verbally support it, even if they could not do it, but verbally supporting it was definitely not wrong.

You have your "international" law, and I have my political correctness.

However, since the North American group does not talk about the so-called international law, the Dashun side will not talk about their political correctness.

Everyone knows it tacitly: as long as you are obedient, then we may not really rescue the slaves. But if you are not obedient, it is hard to say. You see, there are slaves in the south and the French in the north.
