2091 Ireland Question

Facts have proved that there is no monolith in this world, and for those philistines at home, it is not clear what the difference is between Britain and France, and they do not have a definite concept of where Europe is. [Full text reading.]

In the entire Qing Dynasty, everyone looked at the world in a daze, and when it came to foreigners, they were all high-nosed and deep-eyed, blond hair and blue eyes, strong ships and sharp guns, and invincible.

What kind of strategic plan to be expected from those who are seriously afraid of the West to come up with a strategic plan against Britain is simply a fantasy, so the hope for China's rise is no longer in those people, and the Manchu Qing and corrupt Confucian politicians are destined to be swept into the dustbin of history.

Now they can still rule China, relying on nothing more than inertia, the low-level people are numb and have a low level of education, plus many people were born in the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, their childhood has been filled with the illusion of the power of the Qing Dynasty, and they have become accustomed to the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

It is this inertia that has kept the Manchu center on the shelf.

But this set is completely unworkable in front of the Chinese, because all the members of the Chinese have opened their eyes to see the world and study the world, and under the leadership of Xiao Letian, the new batch of Chinese elites have already thrown off those sour Confucian scholars three streets.

Based on Xiao Letian's analysis of Britain now, this is already a realm that the Manchu Dynasty has never imagined.

Who said that Britain was monolithic? Who said that Britain could not be defeated? You don't have the ability to deeply analyze the empire on which the sun never sets, but Xiao Lotian has the ability.

The hard-line colonialists represented by Benjamin still thought that the high-pressure methods used in the past had an effect on Xiao Letian and on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they never thought that Xiao Letian had already dismantled the flesh and bones of the British Empire like a skilled surgeon.

"The fortress must be conquered from the inside, and a fool will fight them hard, not to mention that we can't fight the British now!"

"Dismantle Britain in depth and carefully analyze their forces, you will find a lot of interesting things, and it is not impossible to use force to fight!"

"The British royal family and the British aristocracy are a very powerful force, and their attitude at the moment is still very neutral, I can tell you that through the unremitting efforts of the Prussian royal family, the British aristocratic circle is not very disgusted with the views of our Chinese people......"

"In their minds, it doesn't make much difference to get rid of us alive and keep us, after all, we are now helping them contain Britain and Tsarist Russia, and we have not harmed Britain's economic interests in Asia!"

"Therefore, the royal family and nobles can fight for it, but the most feared thing is that there are bad people who give us eye medicine!"

"The British capitalists are a powerful group, but this group is now closely integrated with the British political parties, whether it is the Whigs, the Liberals or the Tories, and the different political demands of these parties will naturally attract the support of a group of capitalists and big businessmen......"

"So we don't have to please all of them too much, we can only please the part that can communicate, and at the moment it seems that our allies are those who support the Liberal Party, after all, people gather like like!"

"Outside of the two forces of aristocrats and capitalists, there are real partisan forces, Benjamin of the Tories is an extremely fanatical colonial, and their interests are fundamentally in conflict with the interests of our Chinese people, so we must give up all illusions and fight them to the end!"

"And Gladstone's Liberal Party is born to be Benjamin's political enemy, and the best thing is that Gladstone believes in mercantilism and free trade, which is really a lifesaver for us, and we have to find a way to get him to power for such a national policy!"

"Just now you also asked, how to get Gladstone to support us? It is not enough to give money at the moment, it is far from enough! Can you count on the aura of victory of the general law? It's too early, it's too early......

"There are two ways to deal with this situation! The first is Ireland, and the second is the huge team of industrial workers in the UK!"

"Remember, these are our two major breakthroughs, and if we get something here, Gladstone will have to beg us then!"

Xiao Letian's fingers pointed back and forth on the map of Britain, and the crisis of Ireland was vividly analyzed in his mouth.

The Irish themselves and the British are not the same people, and there are many similarities and differences between their cultures, the similarities are due to the fact that hundreds of years of British rule have allowed the English and English culture to erode the Irish folk with high pressure.

However, the Irish themselves do not recognize the identity of the British, first of all, there is a difference in language, Irish belongs to the Celtic language family, and is the same language as Welsh, Gaelic, and the Breton dialect of France.

English, on the other hand, belongs to the Germanic language family, which is in the same vein as German, and there are great linguistic differences.

As for the difference in life, Irish men love to wear skirts, love to play bagpipes, and have the style of an unruly poor artist.

To tell the truth, Europeans are very bad at national integration, and they do not have the super erosive ability of Chinese Confucian culture at all, even if they rely on the power of God to forcibly rule people's hearts, and as a result, God has many factions.

Britain's integration of Ireland is actually a model of European national integration, but it is a pity that this model is also flawed and full of holes in the eyes of Xiao Letian and others.

"This British is enough waste, the result of six or seven hundred years of national integration has not even unified the language, what else is it blowing?" Xiao Lotian clicked on the map, "What's more, in 1845, there was an unprecedented outbreak!"

"The famine of 1845-1852. During these seven years, the population of Ireland under British rule had plummeted by nearly a quarter; In addition to starvation, the number of sick and sick also included about a million Irish who had emigrated to the country due to famine. ”

"Potato, potato! Europeans call it the potato! It is this high-yielding grain species native to South America that caused this tragedy! It is incredible that so many people should starve to death in a grain harvest due to a fungal infection! But if you really study the history of this land, you will understand the problem!"

Why, at the time of the potato famine in Ireland, Great Britain continued to import large quantities of grain from the Americas, some of which were transshipped through Irish ports; But the hungry Irish could not afford to buy it, and the British government provided very little assistance, resulting in a high percentage of the Irish starving to death?"

"Why did even the Queen of England give £3,000 in the face of such a terrible famine, and even reminded the Sultan of Turkey not to donate more than herself?"

"Huh...... Everything has a cause and effect, the British are digging a big hole of division by themselves, and pretending not to see it, which is really arrogant!"
