Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1491 Final Chapter Ninety-Three Years ([-])
France is going to be chaotic, and chaotic. "Rites collapse and music breaks down", the French old system is the rituals and music of the old French era. The old era is irreparable, and big things will definitely happen.

This is the conclusion reached by the Dashun Mission, which carried Liu Yu's coffin as a diplomatic means, after arriving in Europe from North America and staying in Europe for a period of time.

France is not the whole of Western Europe, just as Dashun is not the whole of East Asia.

If France is in chaos, the whole of Western Europe will be in chaos; just as if Dashun is in chaos, the whole of East Asia will be in chaos.

This is definitely the darkest conclusion for Dashun's annual trade volume of hundreds of millions of taels to the Atlantic trade zone.

…………

a few months later.

India.

Surat.

Not long ago, the Dashun gunboat fired to suppress the uprising of the Gujarat Spinning People's Congress, but it has not completely dissipated.

As the saying goes, the fate of a city requires both... and....

This city at the mouth of the Tapi River has taken a completely different path from the original history in the course of history.

In short, Mumbai next to him, because of various historical factors and European colonial factors, Dashun did not choose Mumbai as Dashun's ruling center in northwest India.After all, Dashun faced tens of thousands of cities under Portuguese rule, and Portugal sent Mumbai as a dowry to British rule, so it was really difficult to manage.

Since it was difficult to manage, Dashun chose the port on the other side of the Tapi River, Surat, to replace Mumbai.

As for what happened after Mumbai won the first battle in Dashun, it is hard to say.

In fact, Surat is no stranger to Dashun.

Long before World War I, the Indians here in Surat had experienced the "historical process" of Dashun waking up.

Dashun went to Nanyang and seized commercial hegemony with warships, so that the cotton cloth market in Nanyang no longer used the Surat cotton cloth that the Dutch poured out, but used Songsu cotton cloth.

Surat has already experienced a "historical process".

After World War I, Dashun defeated the 3000 British army and gained an absolute advantage in India.

In view of the particularity of Mumbai, Dashun chose the "Yangzhou Plan", that is, let Mumbai suffer the same fate as Yangzhou, which was transported by Dashun's waste water by sea, and positioned Surat as the trade center and ruling center of northwest India.

As the saying goes, because of its prosperity, it is also because of its decline.

After 30 to [-] years of prosperity and development, due to a "little" incident, the fate of Surat was once again affected by the historical process.

This time the historical process is called "mustrel spinning machine".

The uprising that happened not long ago is precisely because of this.In other words, this is a historical process that was destined since Dashun decided to acquire cotton in India decades ago.

In fact, the fleet carrying Liu Yu's coffin would never have stayed in Surat if it hadn't been for a sudden storm.

After all, Liu Yu's reputation in Surat is completely different from that in Paris.

In Paris, although some people scold, some people will come to the coffin to offer flowers and cry.

But in Surat, I'm afraid... if you don't catch two balls of shit and throw it on the coffin, then the locals are more "qualified".

Liu Yu had never killed anyone with Rasurat himself.

However, when he went to Nanyang to reorganize the Nanyang cotton supply system, fought a war, set policies, and spread the spinning industry, he suddenly destroyed it. This series of actions killed no less than 30 to [-] people in Gujarat.

In addition, there is a special "historical legacy factor", that is, the difference between British colonization and Dashun colonization.

The difference here is not a difference in morality, system, culture, or law.

It is the most basic thing: the economic base determines the superstructure.

Before World War I.

England is a cotton importing country.

And Dashun won the first battle, even before winning the first battle, Dashun was a cotton cloth exporter.

This is the fundamental reason why people here, especially those who have been ruled by the British, hate Liu Yu so much.

Yes, to a certain extent, Dashun won the first battle, which directly led to the complete collapse of Gujarat's cotton textile industry, which is mainly exported to foreign countries.

The weaving industry was over, leaving only the cotton growing and spinning industries.

For some handicraftsmen here who make a living by weaving cloth, they certainly have not experienced the tragedy of truly ruling India in history.

And Dashun, or Liu Yu’s policy, was just to “force the British East India Company to open up India, putting pressure on the East India Company to think that it might lose China’s supply of goods at any time, thus forcing the conflict between Britain and France to intensify in India.” , and then use the knife to kill people so that Britain can drive France away, and then Dashun will join the war as an ally of France".

This greatly increased British imports from Gujarat before World War I.

Perhaps so to speak.

From the perspective of some Gujarati weavers who weaving for a living: this Great Britain may not be good.But when I arrived in Dashun, I was starving.

Needless to say, this is a fact.

Someone in later generations, in order to promote the development of the West, gave such a data.

It is said that from 1794 to 1814, British textiles sold to India increased by 696 times!
People who only look at this number and do not seek the truth will definitely think: Wow, the West is really well developed, and the industry completely crushed the East in 1800!
This data, yes.

It can be said that it is very correct.

However, this data is the standard "half the talk".

Historically, from 1794 to 1814, did British cotton textiles sold to India increase by 696 times?
Yes, exactly.

However, it is very likely that this data, he did not tell you, in 1794, the value of cotton textiles sold by Britain to India.

So in 1794, that is, the years when Macartney visited China in the legend, what was the value of the cotton textiles sold by Britain to India?
£156. 500 taels of flat silver.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

Behind 156, there is neither [thousand pounds] nor [ten thousand pounds].

It is 156 pounds, 500 taels of flat silver.

So, a 696-fold increase, how much is it?

107306 pounds, about 35 taels of silver.

So, is the data lying?
No.

The data is not fake, it has indeed increased by about 696 times.

However, the base figure is £156.Neither £156, nor £156 million, but £156.

So, in 1794, what quantity of cotton textiles did India export to England?

4500000 cases.

The piece here is not a piece of clothing, but a unit of measurement similar to a bag or a box.

According to the data in 1759, the price of such a piece is about 2.03 pounds.

In other words, in 1794, the East India Company imported a total of 450 million cotton textiles from India, equivalent to about 900 million pounds.

This data is critical and meaningful.

If you don't understand this data, you don't understand the true greatness of the Industrial Revolution.It is precisely because of the greatness of the Industrial Revolution and the viciousness of the robbery system under the rule of commercial capital that Lao Ma said that it was able to completely destroy India's hand textile industry in just 40 years.

in contrast.

Misinterpreting this data will not lead to the horror and greatness of the Industrial Revolution. On the contrary, it will create an illusion that "Britain's productivity has always been so strong", and the greatness of the Industrial Revolution has given way to that of the Europeans.

It seems that Britain is so strong, far superior to Asia, so as long as it comes to Asia, it can instantly impact the handicraft industry in Asia.

Even, a lot of data will not tell you that before the Indian National Uprising, the first income of the British East India Company was [mu tax].

The tax revenue per mu was 1531 pounds, equivalent to 7911 million taels of silver in Kuping, ranking first in the company's total income.

Therefore, by concealing these data, it is easy to draw many weird conclusions.

You think it is a big trust in the industrial age, a great industrial monopoly group, whose profits are killing agricultural countries.

In fact, it is a variant of "maritime nomadic tax package Mongolia", relying on an agricultural tax of 4500 million taels a year to maintain the operation of the company.

After understanding this data, one can understand why this happened: the fleet carrying Liu Yu's coffin did not want to stay in Surat at all.

Because... Dashun's textile industry is rapidly destroying India's textile industry.

It was 1793 at this time, but the economic base determines the superstructure, and Dashun took the British productivity script of 1870 instead of the British productivity script of 1793.

The cotton textile practitioners in Surat also took the mentality of the Indian people in 1870 in history, not the mentality of 1793.

What do you mean?
In the history of the British textile industry in 1793, China’s customs had zero tariffs, which was useless. Instead, it would cause a joke in 1842: Jiangnan bought British cloth as packaging, including raw silk.

With the opening of the Suez Canal on November 1869, 11, and the development of productivity in the past 17 years like the 30 years of the Industrial Revolution, the cotton textile industry in the Songsu area has begun to be a little bit overwhelmed.

This is what Lao Ma said: [Commercial hegemony can bring about industrial development, and commercial hegemony is mostly obtained by fleet decisive battles].

Without a fleet, without commercial hegemony, without bayonets, even if you have high quality and low price, but if you don’t have hegemony, you have no market.If they don't buy yours, they issue a cotton prohibition order, what can you do?

Liu Yu practiced against him, won the first battle, and did not need to go around the Cape of Good Hope from Dashun to India.

But Dashun wanted cotton and cotton yarn, not Indian cotton cloth.

Moreover, just as the supporting policy of the "frontier railway" that Li Yan had originally considered was to destroy India's sugar industry.Not only did he understand this, he also understood a little bit the secret of primitive accumulation.

Then, obviously, the impact of Dashun in India is terrifying.

Therefore, there is also the emotion of the original trade beneficiaries of India in Mumbai and other places: Great Britain may not be good, but when I arrived in Dashun, I was starved.

There is no way, this is the historical process, and these people cannot be caught and sent to another time and space to experience how Britain destroyed India's cotton textile industry after the Industrial Revolution after 1820.

On the one hand, it is the impact of Dashun's textile industry on India.

On the other hand, it is the difference between the British as a "buyer" in Mumbai and Dashun as a "dumper" at this time.

Indeed, historically, India's cotton textile industry was destroyed by the British.

However, it is definitely not possible for the UK to destroy it before Dashun fought a war; on the contrary, at this point in time, the UK still has to rely on administrative protection and tariffs, so it is not qualified to talk about destroying the Indian cotton textile industry.

Naturally, at this point in time, the comparison is obvious: Before the arrival of Dashun, Surat and Mumbai were developing very well, and the export of textiles to foreign countries was rising steadily; , followed by the victory of the First World War, the Persian market was robbed by Dashun, and then there was this wave of big ones.

This comparison is too obvious.

Along with the spread of mule spinning machines in Dashun's pioneering areas, it led to the rebellion of Indian handicraftsmen, or "awakening".

More importantly, under the rule of Dashun, a group of Indian businessmen were supported and a bunch of spinning factories were established to supply Dashun cotton yarn.

And Dashun, along with the application of mule spinning machines, has now abandoned the national bourgeoisie in India.India's national bourgeoisie, especially the national bourgeoisie engaged in the spinning industry in the previous trading system, has also begun to step onto the stage of history.

Li Yan may know the consequences of doing so, or he may want to say: I want to be the emperor of the world including India, I want stability, and everything will continue to rule as usual.

However, the industrial bourgeoisie that has developed in Dashun, the military aristocrats who are part of the transformation and bound to the interests of imperialist policies, and the imperialist ruling class alliance of the emerging class of practical learning, patted the steam or water-driven mule spinning machine , Tell the emperor: No, you don't want to.You don't know, we tell you.
