Chapter 209 The first meeting of the five good people
Don't believe the nonsense that the Qing Dynasty's chicken farts once accounted for 33% of the world's chicken fart problems, ranking first in the world.
This argument used by the bastards to praise the Qing Dynasty first came from Madison's "A Millennium History of the World Economy". It was completely based on assumptions, estimating the per capita chicken fart level in China's past dynasties, and then multiplied by
The economic aggregate is derived from the population, but this algorithm lacks rigorous calculation and testing.
For example, some documents show that the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty in 1820 was only 40 million taels of silver, while the British equivalent was 150 million taels of silver.
For another example, France lost the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 and compensated Germany 5 billion francs, equivalent to more than 700 million taels of silver. It took the French three years to complete the compensation, while the Qing Dynasty compensated Germany for more than 400 million taels in the Xinchou Treaty.
But it will take thirty-nine years to pay off the silver.
Is this the Qing Dynasty that occupies 33% of the world’s chickens?
Of course, before 1840, the Qing Dynasty's trade with the world was indeed in a comprehensive trade surplus, and a large amount of silver flowed into the Qing Dynasty, but where did all this silver go?
Has it spread to the common people?
The answer is not.
A large amount of silver flowed into the Thirteenth Bank of Guangdong. After being diverted by the Thirteenth Bank of Guangdong, most of the silver flowed into the pockets of the officials, followed by those wealthy merchants, and thirdly the treasury of the Qing Dynasty.
In addition to this process, those wealthy businessmen have to constantly use money to ensure their status in the world, and those officials also need to rely on money to ensure their official status. Therefore, the money flows to higher-level officials.
Gentlemen, until the level of Qian Deafangou and He Zhongtang.
Then here comes the problem.
Among this whole set of links, which link is related to the common people?
The answer is still no.
Moreover, all the coaters deliberately ignored the fact that the pillar industries of Britain at that time were mechanical textiles, steel, etc., while the Qing Dynasty still relied on silk, porcelain, and tea as its pillar industries.
Crazy exports of silk, porcelain, tea and other agricultural and sideline products, with almost no import items, then will this silver flow crazily to the Qing Dynasty?
I have a large amount of silver in my hands, but I don’t have the strength to hold on to it. Wouldn’t 1840 be a natural thing?
To put it bluntly, compared to the development of the world, the Qing Dynasty has been completely lagging behind since the era of Brother Mazi. "The remaining world with chaff money" is just an illusion that the masters are bragging about and the bastards are working hard to promote it.
Comparing the two, an extremely fucked reality is that the Qing Dynasty turned a thousand-year-old king into scrap metal, while the barbarians in Europe passed the "Encyclopedia of Agricultural Affairs" and "Tiangong Kaiwu"
"Books like "The Scrap Iron Number" gradually upgraded it to silver or even gold.
Even if Zhu Jinsong desperately upgrades now, he has just been upgraded to Silver, and is still far from the king rank he once was.
Moreover, this silver level is still in a seriously biased stage.
In terms of military strength on the ground, Ming Dynasty can crush any country on the ground and rub it like crazy.
But when it comes to maritime military strength, the Ming Dynasty's maritime military strength can bully and bully small countries such as Jiaozhi, Siam, and Japan. Compared with the Silly Thieves and England, it is far inferior.
In fact, the biggest reason why Portugal gave in and paid compensation before was because Portugal itself had begun to decline and was frightened by the Ming Dynasty's army and the attitude of Louis XVI of France.
If Portugal really has a desperate attitude and draws out all its maritime power to fight against Ming Dynasty, then Ming Dynasty will have to become a passive defensive party.
To put it bluntly, except for the territory covered by the army, the current Ming Dynasty does not have the strength to challenge the world alone, especially in maritime, economic, people's livelihood and other aspects, and is even slightly behind.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty now needs such a small broken pot, through which it can slowly boil the fat on the bodies of the other barbarians.
Based on this theory, the remaining problems are easy to understand.
Why didn't the Ming Dynasty drag Osman, who was stronger at this time, into the little broken pot, but instead wanted to drag the stupid thief Eagle in?
Because Ming Dynasty did not need a powerful Osman to join Xiao Po Guo to compete with Ming Dynasty for the right to speak, nor did it need an Osman who was close to England to join Xiao Po Guo to act as England's lackey.
What the Ming Dynasty needs is a stupid thief eagle who has a grudge against England and is not strong enough to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty geographically.
Not being strong enough means that the stupid thief eagle needs to find a backer first, and the stupid thief eagle has a grudge against England, so it is obvious what the stupid thief eagle will choose?
There is essentially no difference between taking refuge in France and taking refuge in Ming Dynasty.
As for the last one among the five good people, Zhu Jinsong still prefers the furry bear at this time.
At this time, Mao Xiong was in the afterglow of the rule of Catherine II, the only female tsar in Mao Xiong's history. She had just experienced Pugachev's uprising, which further strengthened the serfdom system, and in Yeka
Paul I, who succeeded Telina II, died in a political assassination after only five years in power. After that, Alexander I was quiet about playing with court ladies and studying mysticism, and was not very concerned about political affairs.
Is there any better choice for the five great virtuous people?
Since it is the Ming Dynasty that chooses the candidates for the Five Great Good Men, of course it has to consider those countries that have a lot of shortcomings, have conflicts with each other, and are not too strong but not too weak.
Gu Tao/span As for politics, this thing has never been an upright thing. Even the light cannot escape from its darkness.
Therefore, when Louis XVI of France, George III of England, Paul I Petrovich, the designated successor of Catherine II of the Bear, George Peanutton, the leader of the silly thief Eagle family, and others all arrived one after another,
After arriving at Jinan Mansion, Zhu Jinsong invited several people together.
After a whole process of chatting, banquets, hanging out and chatting, Zhu Jinsong invited Louis XVI and others to the Pearl Spring Courtyard, and then took out the "Little Broken Pot Draft" that had been prepared long ago.
”.
Zhu Jinsong's face is filled with sincerity, reliability, fraternity, kindness and all the other beautiful adjectives: "The purpose of establishing Xiaopoguo is to ensure the stability and peace of Xiaopoqiu."
"But before establishing Little Poguo, I want to hear your opinions first. After all, Da Ming has no ambition to conquer Little Pogou, and Xiaopoguo also needs five good people to talk things over."
"In short, all disputes must be controlled within the scope of the little bastard, so as to prevent the little bastard from fighting all day long."
Louis XVI casually picked up the "Little Broken Pot Draft" in front of him, looked at it for a few times and then threw it aside: "On behalf of France, I agree with the Ming Emperor's proposal regarding the Little Broken Pot. France is willing to work hard for world peace."
While George Peanutton was looking at the small broken pot draft in his hand, he glanced at George III opposite him, and it happened that George III also quietly looked at Peanutton.
Among the four speakers, only Paul I Petrovich looked at Zhu Jinsong and said: "Before studying this draft, shouldn't we first study, um, the Qing Dynasty? First, study the affairs of the Qing Dynasty?"
After listening to the interpreter's translation, Zhu Jinsong's smile disappeared and he said seriously: "The Qing Dynasty was once a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. The matters between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty should be resolved by the Ming Dynasty itself. I don't think this is right."
Nothing to study."
Paul I Petrovich laughed loudly and said: "Of course, the matters between the Ming and Qing Dynasties are your own business, but the Qing Dynasty is now invading our Mao Xiong's land!"
Zhu Jinsong said: "First of all, Ming does not know anything about the affairs between the Qing Dynasty and your bear."
"Secondly, maybe something happened between the Qing Dynasty and you, but the Ming Dynasty is not prepared to intervene."
"Once again, Ming Dynasty expressed its extreme regret for the current situation between Mao Xiong and the Qing Dynasty."
"Finally, the Qing Dynasty was a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, and it should be resolved by the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"
Paul I was thinking, "What do I understand? Am I the only one who understands? Are you talking all this nonsense to show that you can speak or something?"
After being silent for a long time, Paul I frowned and said: "If you, the Ming Dynasty, don't solve the problem of the Qing Dynasty, then we, the Mao Xiong, will solve it in our own way."
Thinking back to Paul I, since he had already issued a threat on behalf of Mao Xiong, then Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, had to make a statement first if he didn't plan to start an immediate war with Mao Xiong, right?
However, to Paul I's expectation, Zhu Jinsong just laughed and said: "Whatever, as long as you bears are capable, you can solve it however you want."
Zhu Jinsong didn't care how ugly Paul I's face was, and continued: "Of course, I want to remind you that how you want to solve the Qing Dynasty is your business, but if you bears dare to reach out to the Far East,
If you reach out to our land that has been in the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, you bears will bear all the consequences!"
Paul I's face darkened and he shouted: "What, are you threatening me?"
Zhu Jinsong said: "I'm just threatening you, what do you think?"
Just when Paul I was about to take action, the leader of the foolish thief Ying family, the famous scalp leader Peanutton, reached out to hold Paul I and advised him: "Young man, don't be so angry. If you have something to say, talk it over. If you have something to do,
Let’s talk.”
Paul I broke away from Peanutton's hand, looked at Zhu Jinsong angrily and said: "Could it be that if we Mao Xiong agrees to join this little pot, your Ming Dynasty will solve the Qing Dynasty?"
Zhu Jinsong said sincerely: "Of course, after all, the Qing Dynasty is the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty frees up its hands, it will definitely deal with them."
Paul I snorted coldly, then turned gloomy and stopped talking.
King George III said: "I think this draft is indeed conducive to the peace and stability of the entire country. But, please be honest, it's just the five of us who unanimously agreed. What about the other countries?"
"What if they don't agree?"
Having said this, George III once again had an unpredictable expression on his face, and said with a ferocious smile: "So, we should first pick out a country that is not very obedient and undermines the security and stability of the little broken ball, so that other countries can come out.
The whole country will take a look, without the protection of the little broken pot..."
Zhu Jinsong nodded slightly and winked at Zhang Dequan, who immediately brought a huge globe and placed it on the table.
Zhu Jinsong said: "How about Osman? The territory is large enough and the strength is strong enough."
Several other speakers were immediately startled.
Louis XVI couldn't help but persuaded: "I know there is an old saying in the Central Plains that you have to pick the persimmon that is soft, but I have to admit that the one you picked is not soft."
After glancing at Paul I, Louis XVI continued: "Mao Xiong has been fighting with Ottoman for many years. They should have some understanding of Ottoman's strength."
