In eighteenth-century Britain, it was the time when the political struggle was at its most intense, between the king and the parliament, between the king and the government, between the government and the parliament, between the Tory and the Whigs, between the Whigs and the king, and even between the upper and lower councils.

The reason for this is that the British constitutional monarchy is still in the run-in stage, far from reaching the stable state of mutual restraint in the Victorian era a few decades later.

In this complex political situation, Warren. Hastings was the second Earl of Guildford, Frederick. North is the most bizarre existence among them, and he will pour this weak old political fritter wherever the wind blows.

When he was young, Lord North was a childhood friend of King George III, and the two grew up together and had a deep relationship, George III once strongly supported his good friend as the Prime Minister of the Empire, even if he was jokingly called a fool and chose another fool, George III did not change his mind.

For twelve years, from 1770 to 1782, Lord North was Prime Minister of Great Britain, and was undoubtedly fortunate to be replaced by his predecessors after a few months, because he had no advantage over his predecessors, purely because of the king's trust and support.

In the end, what caused him to lose the prime minister was an even more famous historical event, the American Revolutionary War.

When the British army suffered a crushing defeat in the crucial Battle of Yorktown, the Prime Minister did not think about how to save the defeat, but locked himself in the Prime Minister's office and exclaimed in fear: "Ward, it's over!" It's all over! ”

So with the bonus of this clumsy performance, Lord North lost the prime ministership he had sat for twelve years, and was replaced by the Earl of Shelburne.

But Lord North was not willing to lose power, so he and his former enemy, the leader of the Whigs, Charles North. James. Fox formed a political coalition in an attempt to return to his former position.

His speculation was successful, and it took only two months for the North-Fox Coalition to defeat the Earl of Shelburne and form a coalition government.

Although Lord North did not get the throne of Prime Minister, he also succeeded in serving as the Secretary of State for the Interior, and the Duke of Portland, who was the Prime Minister at the time, was just a puppet pushed by him and Fox.

But Lord North's series of seemingly victorious operations completely offended his childhood friend, King George III.

You must know that the leader of the Whigs, Fox, is a famous foul-mouthed cannon in British history, in his mouth, King George III is a tyrant with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, and he often insults the king in private, calling George III an imbecile who marries close relatives!

And during his time together, Lord North also cooperated with Fox in introducing the famous Indian draft to Congress, that is, transfer the administration of the Indian colonies from the British East India Company to the Congressional Commissioner, and one of the largest shareholders of the East India Company was King George III.

An important factor in the king's ability to maintain a strong influence over parliament and government was that he was wealthy, and he could use it to win over potential allies and divide and disintegrate his enemies.

The East India Company was the most important source of the king's abundant funds, providing the king with a huge fortune of at least 50,000 to 70,000 pounds a year, so this Indian draft was no longer against the king, but a digging for the king's foundations.

Ye Kai really has to admire Lord North's brain circuit, he and the king are friends from play to adulthood, and the king is also very good to him, he doesn't hug the king's thighs tightly, but instead forms an alliance with the person the king hates the most, just a minister of the interior, it's just a brain problem!

So the enraged King George III changed the man he hated the most from Fawkes to Lord North, after all, traitors are far more hateful than enemies.

And as with Lord North's wife Anne. Speke walked closer to Warren. Hastings, too, shows this kind of political naivety, or idiocy, because he is the one who has been victimized by the Indian draft, and he has to go the way of Lord North, who proposed the Indian draft.

As a senior employee of the East India Company, he failed to increase profits for his shareholders, and he also made the biggest shareholder, George III, the most hated lack of support.

It is no wonder that Warren has historically contributed to the British colonization of India. Hastings would have been so miserable when he returned home, because the Whigs had attacked him, the king did not want to see him, and the shareholders of the East India Company hated him.

So, after listening to Ye Kai's analysis of the domestic political situation in Britain, Warren. The cold sweat on Hastings' head fell like water.

"You mean, Lord North has offended the king severely, so the king will use all the power at his disposal to support William, the son of the Earl of Chatham. Peter? ”

"That's right, I believe in the current William. Pete has become the prime minister of the kingdom, and the one who was wounded by you and almost lost his life. Francis had a very good friend, a member of the House of Commons, Edmund Brown. Burke! Ye Kai casually released a bombshell.

Philip. Francis was also one of the most important members of the British East India Company in India. Hastings is deeply conflicted on the Indian issue.

The power struggle between the two in 1780 even brought everything the East India Company to a standstill in India.

Eventually, the two who couldn't bear each other held an open duel, and the young and nimble Warren. Hastings slashed Philip. Francis's belly, the latter almost died!

"Edmund. Burke, I know him, notoriously madman! "Warren. Hastings sighed, even if he was far away in India, he knew the reputation of this mad dog in the House of Commons, and it was not a good thing for him to be bitten.

"He was not only a madman, he was also the majority shareholder of the East India Company. Francis was able to come to India and become one of the most important members of the five. Burke is in support.

And Edmund. Burke was none other than the Whig James Brown. Fox's partisans, got it? You still want to go to Lord North for help, it's completely useless! ”

"Mine! It's horrible! How so? "Warren, Hastings was on the verge of collapse, and for the first time he felt terrible.

If the truth is as Ye Kaisuo, then he will be in great trouble, not only Whigs like Philip and Edmund want to throw him in prison, but his backer, Lord North, must also abandon him, otherwise Lord North will definitely remind him.

"Nope! No, I don't believe that you, an Oriental, know so much about what is happening in London, there will be no astrologers in this world, you must be lying to me! ”

Warren caught in fear. Hastings didn't bow his head and hug his thighs and cry for help as Ye Kai thought, but continued to doubt him.

But it's nothing, it's been four or five months since the general election in London, and Ye Kai believes that India should receive the news soon.

"In that case, Mr. Hastings, we may as well wait, for I think there will be merchant ships coming from London in the near future, and when the time comes, we will know if I am lying!"

Anyway, Peter still has to go to the local governance, Ye Kai has time to wait, he is looking forward to Warren. The one who cried out to him for his life.
