Chapter 200 Concerned about a war thousands of miles away

Zhao Liang smiled.

How many times have he asked Jiang Yulong the same question?

Foreigners come to Guangzhou to trade, which is cyclical. Every spring and summer, merchant ships from all over the country will arrive at Huangpu Port along the southwest monsoon. At this time, the Thirteen-Hand Commercial District welcomes merchants with different clothing, spices, medicinal materials, and pearls. In winter every year, the northeast trade wind continues to blow from the Pearl River Estuary to the South China Sea and the Tianzhu Sea, transporting excellent tea, luxurious silk, exquisite ceramics and other commodities from Guangzhou to all over the world.

So in Guangzhou now, the news is still the original news, and it is completely impossible for updates to exist.

"Master Jiang is too anxious. The British and French are the two most powerful countries in Europe, the sea and land. The collision between powerful countries must be cautious and cautious. How can we hurry up because of a civil unrest a thousand miles away?"

Zhao Liang led Jiang Zhe to the nanny hall. This Lord Jiang is still very caring.

And Zhang Damazi next to him was very confused. What about Britain and France? Are there any of these two countries in the world?

If it weren't for the person who spoke, one was the county master and the other was the uncle Zhao, Zhang Damazi would only look at them with crazy eyes.

Jiang Zhe felt lost.

Finally, he saw that the British were in trouble. He urgently hoped to see the British fall more violently.

He didn't know why he was so hostile to the British. Perhaps it was because the British posed the greatest threat to Daqingguo in a foreign country.

As a Qing official, Jiang Zhe knew very well how dependent the Daqingguo was on the canal transport. But Britain's maritime strength was the best in Europe...

Moreover, Britain was the biggest winner after just over a decade of Seven Years War.

In the "Peace Treaty of Paris", the French were forced to ced the entire Canadian colony to Britain and withdraw from the entire Indian region, leaving only five municipalities. They told their decades of operations in India to waste.

The British almost dominated India. Now they not only occupied the wealthy Bangladesh, but also captured Odean, northwest Bangladesh, as a vassal and turned to the south to invade Mysore.

Perhaps the officials, gentry and people of the Qing Dynasty felt inexplicable about these place names, but when you know that Burma is east of Bangladesh, do you immediately feel different?

It was already very close to Daqingguo.

So when Jiang Zhe heard the news of the North American War of Independence, he urgently hoped to see the British fall into a big fall.

Because from the map of North America, after the British seized the French Canada, they were simply going to dominate North America.

The French people blocked inland occupied such a vast territory in vain, but were unable to develop their own strength. First, the sea exports were too small and could easily be blocked; second, France suffered heavy losses in the Seven Years War and was no longer able to manage colonies thousands of miles away.

Other occupiers, such as the Spaniards, have long since fallen and cannot pose any threat to the British.

If you look at it this way, the British will not only dominate North America, but also likely to dominate North America.

That would really hurt!

How Zhao Liang introduced Jiang Zhe from North America, I still remember clearly that that land was simply a chosen place.

After the British obtained North America, they would manage their efforts for decades or hundreds of years, and their population would be reproduced. At that time, their local area was small and their limited population would be compensated for?

Who could still control this country at that time?

But now the British North American colonies have rebelled. This is great. If they can succeed, wouldn’t the British’s huge future development space be greatly reduced?

In particular, Zhao Liang told him that there was a strong sense of hatred and British hatred within France. As long as the rebels in the British colonies could persist, the French might not be able to go to war with the British again.

Now, in order to seek external support, a North American scholar has taken the initiative to visit France.

Although Jiang Zhe scoffed at the Declaration of Independence in North America without an emperor.

What are the mainland parliaments and federal governments, they are all rebellious and ruthless.

But this did not prevent him from hoping that the North American colonial rebels could hold the British back...

The two masters following Jiang Zhe also nodded frequently. The Zhao family’s uncle was right. With the strength and old grudges of Britain and France, no matter how strong the hatred and British emotions in China were, it was impossible to start fighting casually.

Who knows if they fight here, will the anti-British uprising in the North American colonies thousands of miles away be suppressed by the British?

Without a sure grasp or an excellent opportunity, if they were the masters of France, they would not bet easily.

"I really hope the French can stand up."

Only when the British had a strong and fierce hostile opponent in Europe would their attention be more focused on European mainland than on external expansion.

This is a very simple truth.

Jiang Zhe said, plucking the globe in front of him.

"That depends on whether these people are competing!"

Zhao Liang pointed at the East Coast Road of North America on the globe. Although he knew very well the outcome of the North American War of Independence, he couldn't say it now.

Because the information he has now cannot support his conclusion at all. It is purely to ask for trouble when he says it.

"In my opinion, those people in North America will not win a big victory and strengthen the confidence of the French, otherwise the French will jump out and fight with the British unless they are stupid."

That's why Saratoga's victory was praised as the turning point of the North American War of Independence? It was this victory that made the French determined to take revenge.

"It has only been more than ten years of war that caused them to suffer heavy losses. After suffering such a huge loss, although hatred is hatred, who can not be afraid of it?"

It would be natural for Zhao Liang to say this now.

After all, the heavy defeat of the Seven Years' War not only caused France's overlordship in the European continent to be challenged, but their navy was basically defeated by the British at sea.

Now more than ten years have passed, and even though France has rebuilt a powerful navy on paper, on the surface, the French navy still has to be afraid of the British navy's three-pointer.

Jiang Zhe and the others did not know that during the past decade, the noble officers of the French Navy had been brave enough to know their shame. They not only focused on the military discipline and studied new naval combat tactics, but also organized a gunner unit of tens of thousands of people, and insisted on training every week. More than ten years have passed, and the French Navy has long been different from the past.

But this did not prevent them from continuing the topic based on the idea given by Zhao Liang, and the discussion was very enthusiastic.

This topic has been a hot topic in the past few months.
