New Shun 1730
Chapter 1365: Internal Disease and External Treatment (I)
It is very difficult to solve the land problem, wasteland ownership, and wasteland nationalization in North America.
The difficulty does not lie in the solution.
The difficulty lies in how these solutions can be implemented and how to break down the resistance.
Just like the many Confucian schools within Dashun, they all know that the prescription to be prescribed is "equal distribution of land and nationalization of land." But it is easy to prescribe a prescription, but it is difficult to make people drink this medicine.
Until the end of August and the beginning of September, several news that were not good for the interests of the abstract Anglo-Saxon race, but some of which might be good for the British government, reached London.
It has been nearly a year since the fall of Gibraltar, and it is hard to say whether the British side has received any good news during this period.
Even if it is said that for the British government, "not bad" news, it is just panning for gold in shit.
After these news came, Benjamin Franklin, who was previously ignored because North America was not too important and could only see the president of the Privy Council at most,
Because of the rising value of North America and the urgent need to solve North American problems, he was received by the king and the royalist circle of "Friends of the King".
This was not the first time Franklin saw King George III of England.
But this was the first time Franklin had close contact with the king. He did not like the red tape of meeting the king, but he still endured these cumbersome etiquette and completed the process.
After the process was completed, the Earl of Halifax got straight to the point.
"I wonder if you've heard the latest news."
"The French, with the cooperation of Chinese engineers and navy, recaptured Louisburg."
"Some Chinese-trained West Coast Indian forest light infantry appeared in the forests of the St. Lawrence River."
"The Indians of the Wabanaki Confederation now have not only the help of French priests, but also the military support of the Chinese."
"And... the Acadians have now begun to organize and launch a counterattack."
"In view of everything that has been done to the Acadians before, now the Acadians, men, women, and children, have picked up muskets and vowed to peel off the scalp of every New Englander..."
Although Protestants like to excommunicate others.
However, it is still a bit difficult to excommunicate the Acadians. In terms of ancestry, the Acadians are partly French and partly the mixed-race descendants of France and Indians.
Historically, this matter has always been accused of genocide.
However, the explanations of the historians and jurists raised by Britain and the United States for the Acadian Expulsion are also "quite interesting."
The massacre and expulsion of the Acadians, and the occupation of their farmland and property cannot be considered genocide.
Because the starting point of Britain and New England was for military purposes, fearing that they would help France after the war between Britain and France.
And the starting point was not to exterminate the Acadians.
So, although in fact, the Acadians were subjected to concentration camps, massacres, expulsion, etc.
However, because the starting point was extermination caused by military defense purposes, rather than extermination for the purpose of extermination, from a legal and legal point of view, this cannot be considered genocide.
Let's not talk about this kind of bullshit legal debate for now.
It's just that because of the participation of the Dashun in the war, the British could not kill all the Acadians, Indians of the Wabanaki Federation, Catholics and French.
Therefore, among these people, those who were originally submissive, those who originally decided to accept the expulsion of the British, and those who originally decided to move to another place to live a good life were finally forced by the British to become the most determined fighters.
The madness of Protestants is scary.
Just as there were some rumors in Java at the beginning, it was said that the Dutch would transport the Chinese in the sugarcane plantations to Ceylon, but in fact they would throw them into the sea and drown them halfway.
Such rumors appeared because they really did similar things often.
In addition to the Hancock family using the same means as slave trade to impersonate the Acadians, the British really caused the sinking of three ships to directly eliminate the leaders, headmen, priests, etc. among the Acadians.
These things cannot be covered up.
At the beginning, only a few hundred of the 20,000 to 30,000 Acadians chose to resist. The rest of the people felt that they could not fight, and they would die if they resisted, so they might as well accept it and live in another place.
But compromise, or not resisting, does not mean that the invaders will be kind to them. One-third of the people who were expelled died on the way.
Including drowning in deliberate shipwrecks, suffocation in sealed cabins, freezing to death in winter without being allowed to get off the ship, and starvation after going to a new place without tools and seeds.
However, now, the remaining Acadians, the Acadians who were rescued by Dashun and French ship hijackers after being expelled, and the Acadians who chose to remain silent and not resist, all recognized the reality.
Dashun sent 6,000 muskets, and the remaining 24,000 Acadians in the coastal areas pulled out 3,000 regular militias and a large number of guerrillas.
Under the leadership of Acadian combat priest Jean-Louis Leroutre and Acadian chieftain Noel Doron, the most brutal homomorphic revenge began.
Some Acadians who were rescued by the Spanish were also sent back to their homes under the consultation of China, France and Spain.
At the beginning, Spain had its own considerations.
These people are Catholics, and in the Mississippi River region, Spain's population is too small to withstand the encroachment of the British and Protestants. So Spain hopes to take in some of these expelled Acadians to enrich the population and resist the expansion of Protestants.
Now that Spain has joined the war, this problem can be easily solved under the consultation of the three countries.
Let the Acadians return to their homes, fight to regain their homes, and fight to retaliate against the Protestant butchers.
As for the lack of Catholic population... Dashun just happens to have a lot of Catholics who refuse to convert. How many Spain wants, Dashun can provide.
In 1755, when the British attacked, the combat priest Jean Louis Le Routre burned down the church and hid the expensive bronze bell in a nearby mound. Then he put down the Bible, picked up the musket, and told the Acadians that the bell represented reconstruction and hope. The church could be burned down, and it was just a pile of wood, but hope would not burn down.
Now, the fighting priests are back, and the Acadians are united. They dug out the bronze bells that were buried at the beginning and rang the bells, "thanking" the Protestants in New England for uniting the Acadians, knowing the fear of being exterminated, and starting a resolute battle.
Along with the participation of Dashun in the war, in addition to these Acadians, there are many stories that are regrettable in history, but they are no longer so regrettable.
For example, the slaves on the island of Jamaica, in history, they chose to commit suicide before being captured because they didn't want to be slaves anymore. And now, with the support of Dashun's artillery, they finally developed the slave uprising in Jamaica into a wildfire that could not be extinguished.
These slaves no longer have a tragic and tragic story, such as sticking a stick into their eyes and stirring their brains to commit suicide before being captured.
They are no longer perfect victims.
Instead, they have some cruel notoriety, such as burning the captured white plantation owners to death.
Tragic stories, or perfect victims, are just choices that deceive people's tears and are meaningless. It is better to bear the notoriety of cruelty than to be a perfect victim and the protagonist of a tragic story.
As a country founded by rebels, even if Dashun has made many stories of the past harmless, the remaining belief in resistance and the belief that we are often slaves still remain in our hearts, and this power is transmitted to the Atlantic in Dashun's own way.
In the north of North America, the Acadians, armed with hatred and muskets, not only cooperated with the Dashun army to cut off the supply lines of the British army, but also launched revenge on Protestant villages.
A large number of forest light infantry naturalized by Dashun on the west coast also joined the guerrilla warfare of various Indian tribes and alliances.
This fire has already started.
However, from a certain perspective, it may not be an absolutely bad thing for the British government to burn until now.
At least, it seems to provide an opportunity to rule North America.
Can the group of Protestant lunatics in North America, especially New England, resist the counterattack of France, China and Indians?
Indeed, Dashun was doing business with those merchants in North America at this time.
But this did not prevent Dashun from transporting a large number of muskets to the north and handing them over to the Indians.
Indeed, the Hancock family did very disgusting things during the Acadian expulsion incident, including throwing living people into the sea halfway.
But this did not affect Dashun's tea business with the Hancock family while using the Hancock family's extermination of the Acadians as a declaration of resistance by the Acadian guerrillas.
The Acadian guerrillas were very powerful. They had military instructors sent by Dashun, combat priests like Jean Louis, and the deep hatred created by the previous extermination policy of Protestants.
The most important thing was that the French had already established a firm foothold in North America.
Protestants were the Wahabi in Christianity. They were fundamentalist and extreme. This kind of extremism required military support, especially the support of regular troops, just as Mamtim wanted to write scriptures, but he also needed the invincible Khalid bin Walid.
However, with the participation of the Dashun, the Protestant military advantage east of the Appalachian Mountains has actually disappeared.
At this time, North America, especially New England, needs the suzerain.
It needs the regular army of the suzerain, the military support of the suzerain, and the suzerain continues to invest more funds.
Or, without the suzerain, choose to set up a government of the states and organize the army.
But the latter... With the participation of the Dashun in the war and trade, without the support of big businessmen and big plantation owners, only land speculators and some "border people" in the border areas can support it.
For those plantation owners in the southern states, the war on the northern border has nothing to do with me? Why should I pay to fight?
And now, the only one who can pay and organize regular troops to maintain peace on the border is the British government.
For the royal party, they are well versed in the strategy of "retreat to advance".
They clearly know that once they accept the conditions of the Dashun, the importance of North America will be greatly enhanced to ease the huge contradictions in the country.
Otherwise, it would not be a simple shock, but would bring out Cromwell.
Because they knew the importance of North America after the war, they now wanted to tell Franklin: You can handle North American affairs yourself. Britain is now unable to maintain a large number of troops stationed in North America, and the future will depend on your state assembly.
Once this attitude was slightly revealed, Franklin's face became very ugly.
Basically, Franklin was a nationalist, and he was very dissatisfied with the Germans who belonged to the same Protestantism. He believed that there were too many German country bumpkins and they occupied too much of the population of the thirteen states, which was wrong.
He was also worried about the current war situation.
From the beginning, when he was in North America, he proposed the idea of uniting the states at the Albany Conference in order to build an army, kill Indians and French, and expand land.
Relying on the military power of the sovereign country, the early progress was still very smooth. It began to attack northward and expelled a large number of Acadians, freeing up a large amount of land, allowing land speculation companies to obtain extremely high profits.
But now, with the participation of Dashun, the war situation is extremely unfavorable.
In a war like this in North America, a regular battle of shooting, the scale of at most 3,000 to 5,000 people can determine the ownership of millions of square kilometers.
From the beginning, Dashun was aiming for this scale to build an overseas legion.
Now the British Navy is squatting in the Strait, staring at the main force of the Dashun Navy. After the fall of Gibraltar, Dashun will march towards North America. The situation of the war is obvious.
So Franklin could only make a request.
"Your Majesty, my Lords, we cannot win the war against the Indians and the French if we rely on ourselves."
"This is not just a war between countries. It is also a battle of faith."
"Britain should defend Protestantism, rather than allowing the French, the running dogs of the Pope of Rome, to encroach on land and seduce the Indians in America."
"The war in North America is to defend the freedom of Protestantism and the faith of the British people."
"The revenge of those Indians on us is terrible. Those Acadians... they have some inexplicable hatred for us. If they really win, it will be a tragedy, a massacre."
"Countless villages, women, and children will die under their hatred..."
"Those Catholic missionaries did not teach them love and peace, but taught them war. I dare not imagine what kind of tragedy will happen in the border area if the British army withdraws from North America."
The Earl of Halifax interrupted Franklin.
"But Britain has spent too much money in North America. Military expenses, officer salaries, logistics costs, and pensions for fallen officers."
"Britain can no longer sustain it. The Chinese... The Chinese cannot stop the war because they need to obtain furs, ginseng, etc. from the trade between the French and the Indians."
"The huge national debt needs to be repaid. Britain has invested 1 million pounds in North America, but... but even the 33-year "Honey Act" cannot be enforced, and even a little tariff cannot be collected."
"The money in the treasury is the tax paid by the British, not falling from the sky. Now, the whole country is extremely dissatisfied with Pitt's behavior of expanding the war in North America."
"The participation of the Chinese in the war has made North America need more expenditures. For the Chinese, providing 6,000 muskets to the Indians is just the profit of a ginseng trade. They are willing to pay money and guns.
