Chapter 1347 Desperate is wrong, earning money is right ([-])
Although force deterrence is not a thing to be praised.

But the reality is such a dumbfounding.

Earlier at the Albany meeting, Franklin had berated "the state legislatures and majorities of the thirteen states for their parochial views, mutual envy, and suspicion of any central taxing authority."

After talking about the truth, there was nothing to do in the end.

On Dashun's side, he didn't even talk about reason, or he didn't have time to talk about reason.

Just sent troops to support France, attacked two plantations in the south, and finally showed military force on the badlands near Philadelphia.

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

I think it is better to form a common assembly of thirteen states with taxation power and military power.

After Dashun demonstrated its military power, several huge tents were set up near the army's garrison as a place for talks with the dignitaries of these states.

The first day of the meeting was held in an atmosphere where everyone was relatively calm.

The reason why everyone doesn’t talk nonsense is because the group of people in North America talked about the "Treaty of Tordesillas" before they came up, and then derived [International Law] from this treaty - any non-Christian land , all follow the principle of [discovery is ownership].

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

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

This belongs to looking for trouble.

After all, it's okay to talk about the "International Law" with those small tribes and countries that have no resistance.

When talking about "International Law" with a country like Dashun, Dashun has to question: I didn't even participate, what kind of international law is it?Where did the international come from?
Besides, if you start from this treaty, the extended things will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the officers of Dashun, and feel that it is an insult: According to you, Dashun should be a colony?
When the time comes, no matter how angry the man is, blood will splatter five steps;

Therefore, since the nonsense international law of "discovery is possession" cannot be discussed, then there is no need to debate classics, and we can directly discuss some serious matters.

Some things, as long as you don't debate the scriptures, it's very simple and easy to talk about, and everyone won't talk about it like a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth, or chickens and ducks.

After all, the "elites" from various states who came here to participate in the meeting, in fact, according to Dashun's moral outlook... are they all a bunch of ghosts and monsters?
For example, the representative of Maryland, the son of the governor of Maryland, and one of the chairmen of the last Albany meeting, Benjamin Tusk.

Put it in Dashun, that is also the person who was arrested and "locked on the urine bucket" in prison.The main business of the family to get rich is not much different from Liu Mazi in Lao She's "Tea House", which is trafficking in people and buying and selling women.

For example, the representative of New York State, William Johnson... was a Catholic at the beginning. After his uncle was promoted to a rear admiral, he found a way for him in North America, and immediately issued a manifesto denouncing Catholicism and the Holy See in severe terms, announcing that he Converted to Protestantism.

If it's just like this, it can only be regarded as pursuing a self-ascension channel or something.

But what is wicked is that on the issue of the western border in history, the western land he acquired was initially west of the watershed. For this reason, he "represented the interests of the North American people" and "struggled with the British government" to divide the land. The boundary moved westward to include the land he encircled.

If this is the case, then it can be said that striving for the interests of others does not hinder the pursuit of interests for oneself.

The point is that as soon as the boundary line moved to the boundary of his enclosure, he jumped back and firmly supported the West of England Act, believing that anyone who crossed the line should be punished.The reason is that the enclosure of Washington and others is further to the west, and if the border continues to expand westward, it will inevitably lead to a strong rebound from the Indians, and his enclosure will also be retaliated against.

That's just too... too fucked up.When you get in the car, you are going to weld the door shut?
Basically, the vast majority of people who came to the meeting were such moral depraved, monsters, slave traders and the like.

But there is also an advantage.

That's the group of people, the true egoists.

True egoists are easier to deal with than stupid self-righteous egoists who are actually false egoists who don't even know they've sold themselves.

At the very least, this group of people knows when to enter, when to retreat, when to be impassioned, and when to talk about patriotism.

Of course, Dashun didn't come to do good deeds.

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 a colonial independence against the suzerain country, but also contained a strong color of class struggle.

This refers to the confiscation of all the family property and property of the anti-British faction, and internal redistribution, which greatly eased the internal conflicts in North America.

It is obviously a class struggle, but it is wearing a coat of pro-British and anti-British.This has greatly affected the awakening of the people of North America, causing the real contradiction to be covered up—the awakening in this context does not have the same meaning as the awakening of the "first great awakening" defined by North America at this time.

Now, what Liu Yu wants to promote is to remove the "anti-British" skin, to remove the abstraction of the truly cruel and real things, and to show them to the people of North America in the future.

Will many problems be solved without the UK?

Is it because I leave the UK that I don't have to pay taxes?
Is it possible to solve the problem of the western frontier by breaking away from Britain and replacing it with "our own people"?
The two biggest intensification points of anti-British contradictions at that time, in the eyes of later generations, none of them were resolved.

After the separation of North America, there is no need to pay taxes?Obviously, this is a joke.

Can the problem of the western frontier be solved by replacing it with "our own people"?Obviously, this is also a joke, because the "Treaty of Paris" was officially established in 83. In 90, the North American government itself discovered that the western frontier issue was a financial black hole, and they also introduced the "1763 Royal Western Act" that they strongly opposed at the beginning.

So, how to promote the real awakening of the North American people, instead of being confused by the so-called religious awakening?
Simple, take the current group of reactionaries and slave traders to really build the North American Parliament, suppress the contradictions and continue to intensify them, so that they will not be able to use "anti-British" as a coat in the future to cover up the real contradictions.

There is no family property or land of big landlords and big merchants who are close to the British; and the western border must be determined not to reclaim wasteland westward.

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

In other words, he wanted to see whether the "ordinary but great national character of the Anglo-Saxons" really existed.

How many idealists are there who say "no taxation without representation"?There are still many realists who "don't want to pay taxes".

And, after not putting the matter of "dividing the landlord's land" under the cloak of "they are pro-British traitors, so it is reasonable to confiscate their property, family property and land", those who want land will not Will there be heroes such as Li Zicheng, Huang Chao, Zhang Jiao?

Generally speaking, a country's period of historical opportunity is very short.For North America, or the Americas, if everything remains the same in history, before June 1815, 6, is their period of opportunity.

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

But now, everything has changed. Dashun's participation has increased the difficulties faced by the North American people: At that time, they will not only oppose the suzerain country, but also oppose the domestic comprador and landlord class, and also oppose imperialist interference.

The vast majority of the people who are sitting here negotiating with Dashun and will soon become the thirteen state councils established in accordance with the "Albany Conference Principles", that is, the group of people that Dashun is supporting, are of very class nature. clear.

comprador.

big landowner.

Great slave owner.

Plantation owners who were about to be the beneficiaries of the origin of raw materials in the process of simultaneous industrial revolution and industrialization in East and West.

The attitude of the Dashun negotiator also expressed this attitude very clearly.

Even though Dashun just attacked the plantation in the south and rescued a group of slaves.

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

This can be regarded as a silent tacit understanding between the two sides.

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

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

Since they had some sense, they didn't talk about the so-called "International Law" in front of Dashun.

Dashun also reciprocated, and did not talk about some of the corresponding issues that had been discussed in Dashun in front of this group of big compradors, big landlords, and slave traders.

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

However, it has always been the political correctness within Dashun to equalize the land, oppose any form of slavery, and oppose the low-ranking system.

It's one thing to do it or not.

But when it comes to land equalization, state ownership of land, and reduction of rent and interest, in Chinese history, except for a period that was more stinky and reactionary than the feudal dynasty, most of the time they would not be shot.On the contrary, many scholar-bureaucrats will also verbally support it. Even if it is impossible for them to do it, there is definitely nothing wrong with verbal support.

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

It's just that since the group of people in North America don't talk about the so-called international law, Dashun doesn't talk about their political correctness.

Everyone tacitly: as long as you are obedient, then we may not really want to free the slaves.But if you are not obedient, it will be hard to say.You see, there are slaves in the south, and Frenchmen in the north.
