Chapter 34 of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom "This. That doesn't seem to be good. As soon as I heard the words "Calcutta". Bourblon's heart beat violently. And then again.

Chinese people have always been smart. ★ Aishang Novel Network is updated quickly (╰→dushuge), and the novels are complete ★. The British colonization was also different from that of the two older colonists of Spain.

The form of the Organization that it engaged in foreign colonization. They are all commercial monopolies. It is a company formed by a group of factory owners and merchants who are loyal to the great cause of the empire's expansion. Then the foreign trade and colonial concessions were obtained from the government. These so-called monopolies. It is also possible to have its own land and sea. There was the right to build fortresses and arsenals. It has the right to declare war and make peace with any country.

These commercial companies administered the various colonial districts on behalf of the British Empire. The people there have the right to judge and punish themselves. Of course. Since it is a commercial company. The company's profits are divided according to the amount of shares that each shareholder shares. That's a must.

About the benefits of colonization. I think everyone is already familiar with it. There's no more stuff here. As for how hard the "commercial companies" of the British Empire were. and how much benefit it has won for the British Empire. Just look at the distribution of the navy of the British colonists as follows. It's all clear at a glance:

The fleets of the British Empire were spread across five continents. There are not only the China Sea Fleet, the South African Fleet, the East African Fleet, the Cape Fleet, the East Fleet, the West India Fleet, the North American Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet. If it weren't for the fact that the Taiping regime had already won a fundamental victory in China in time. The so-called 1st Fleet of the British Empire. That's the birth of the bull.

So much colonization. Of course, the "companies" that have been raised are also hugging each other, and there is a lot to talk about. Among them, the strength is the strongest. That's the East India Company.

The British took advantage of the Seven Years' War between Britain and France, which began in 176, not only to achieve a complete conquest of Canada in the Americas, but also to take control of the island of Gorée in Senegal, West Africa. Martinique, Grenada and the Saint Lucian Islands of the West Indies.

in India. Britain is also completely 1 of the previous French power. In an absolute advantage. The British were able to leave it to the French. It's just a few symbolic trading posts.

In 1849, when the whole of India was colonized by the British, how much wealth did the Indian companies have taken in their "territory"? I'm afraid it's hard to get someone to give a precise answer.

Seven five six years. The governor of Gala (then known as the Nawab) was dissatisfied with the British for establishing a military fort in Calcutta, which belonged to them. The British troops who sent troops to drive out the British troops in Calcutta made the East India Company angry. Thereupon. When the angry British 1 turned around and defeated the Bengalis. The opportunity to make a fortune is also here.

Bangladesh's treasury was robbed of gold, silver and jewels from British military accounts. Its total value was as high as 37 million pounds sterling (37 million pounds at that time). If only it were now. What a lot of money. Those who know how to do the math will be clear). Of course. These 37 million miles do not include the treasures that were put into personal pockets by the valiant soldiers of the British army. It is said that the wealth stolen by the "officers" of the East India Company was at least two thousand pounds sterling.

And thirty-three years,. When the Indian company army captured the capital of Mysore in southern India, they looted 15 million pounds worth of royal treasures.

Someone has done rough statistics. It's just fifty-five years after the Seven Years' War. The wealth that the British plundered from India. At least close to a billion pounds.

And in 1770, during the Great Ransack of Bengal and India by the British Empire of the East India Company. The British, in order to squeeze more profit margins. They did not hesitate to hoard all the rice in Bangladesh. Millions of lives have been taken.

1741. When the Englishman Klevau went to work for the East India Company. His salary is just £5 a year. But his whole expenses were at least forty pounds. Thereupon. He was in India trying to scrape by all means. Outcome. Nineteen years later, when he returned home. Clevau has become a tycoon with a whopping £50,000 with him. Thanks to this huge amount of money. He entered the British parliament not only by means of bribery. He also took the title of a great power.

Later. He was appointed Governor of Bengal by the British Empire. He also served as commander-in-chief of the British forces in India. In order to encourage the people of the British Empire to go to their colony for the sacred good of the country, they carried out more frenzied plundering. The British Parliament even passed a resolution of guò. Lord Robert Clevaud's deeds to the British Empire.

The East India Company's way of accumulating wealth is one.

Reputedly. At the peak of the East India Company. They have fifteen thousand branches. Trade accounts for half of the world's total trade. More than 10,000 of their merchant ships. Swim on the world's five oceans every day. It's a super "multinational." Countless so-called super companies that later claimed to be the world's number one were ashamed.

The East India Company grew big. Colonization and slave trade. How much wealth did Britain have? It's really impossible to calculate exactly. But. Britain said it itself. At least 10% of the UK's national income. It's all about the benefits of coming overseas.

The British then made their fortune. The Industrial Revolution was built on the flesh and blood of countless native and colonial peoples. Do not fall into the empire.

So, ah. Don't be rash and crazy at the mention of capitalism. Think you're on the train to capitalism. From now on, I will be with heaven. Liberal, democratic and gold are inexhaustible. You also have to know. The primitive accumulation stage of capitalism. It was a bloody one. And the stage of cruelty and ugliness. Say you little fart don't really have those two 1s. Even if you have a three-legged cat kung fu. I'm afraid it's also in the midst of this kind of turbulent waves. Even if you die unjustly. Also, take off a layer of skin first.

But. There are two sides to everything. With colonization is good but at some point. Colonization is also a chain tightly tied around the colonizer's neck.

"Lao Bu. Tell me a little bit about your own idea of making peace? ”

Seeing that the old friend asked himself with a sincere look, Bul Long lowered his head and muttered slightly for a while. Then look up at the old friend. "It's a mixed bag."

"Huh. Since this is it. Then it's worth giving it a try. ”

We? Bulb looked at his old friend, who was beginning to look at the relaxed face, a little incomprehensibly.

"As soon as we came out with this kind of construction, we were afraid that the British would think about this and that. So. On the issue of a truce between the two sides in India. I think it's more appropriate for us to work together. It was also proposed by our Emperor Xià first. How. Do you expect your Emperor to be willing-" Lin Haifeng said with a smile. He squeezed his eyes at Bourblon.

Erblon also smiled. Why not? Generally this kind of thing that can make others grateful to themselves. His Majesty, the Emperor of France, was extremely happy to do it.

"As soon as the peace talks between the two sides are officially launched. In order to ensure that this hard-won situation is not destroyed. You can also consider General Ruyori's Far Eastern Fleet anchoring Calcutta. ”

"This. It doesn't seem to be good," and Bublon began with a violent heartbeat when he heard the words "Ercutta." Then he forcibly suppressed his joy and hurriedly piled up a look of humility on his face. "Your Excellency, Chairman Lin. This Calcoth has promised that it should be garrisoned by your country. We. Lin Haifeng opened the ashtray and knocked his pipe again. While stumbling. He smiled and stopped Bourblon's fake politeness. "Stop. Stop. Boo*. Don't come with me with this fake politeness. Again. Please go and stay in Calcutta. That's not for you to go there and show off your strength. It's about keeping the peace. Other than that. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng paused for a moment. Squinted at Bourblon.

Bourblon hastened to make a deaf look. looked at the old friend in front of him without turning his eyes.

Lin Haifeng gently placed the beaten clean pipe on the coffee table. Then he looked at Bourblon. Said slowly. "You know, too. These wars. Already India tossed is all over the mourning. The economy is in recession. The common people are miserable. So. Another meaning for you to go to Calcutta. It is to use Kolkata as a transshipment center. On the one hand, it helps the Indians to transport their lint, wool and so on. They are able to earn a steady income. Meantime. They also had to send in the food they urgently needed and other subsistence supplies. to save the innocent people who are waiting for them. Regardless of whether the fight there can really be completely stopped in the end. We must all live up to our humanitarian and responsible responsibilities. You say yes, right? ”

"Yes. That is true. That's right. Bourblon nodded vigorously. The expression on his face was extremely solemn. "Everybody knows. Only the governments of France and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is the only government in this world that can make the banner of people1 and humanitarianism fly high. Whether it is out of the passion for the democracy and freedom that the people of India are fighting for. Or to promote noble humanitarianism. We in France have a responsibility. ”

Although the mouth is shouting beautiful slogans. But in the heart. Bourblon had already dug through another book. As early as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the regime had just recovered Liangguang. According to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, a series of active policies in economic construction were initiated. At that time, he was also in the position of the first minister of France to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Seizing the opportunity, it was still subordinate to Guangdong at that time, and then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government assigned it to Hepu, the controlled capital of Lianzhou, and Haikang, the capital of Leizhou. Together with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, two major textile companies in Lianzhou and Leizhou were built.

To be said. At the beginning, the primary purpose of setting up textile companies in Lianzhou and Lei - Shuang. It's just to look for an opportunity. To break the British East India Company's monopoly on India's mega-cotton market.

It's a pity. Two large-scale textile companies have just been officially put into production. The great riots in India began with a bang. The "fruits" that can be produced by both companies. Naturally, you can imagine it.

Fooled around for a long time. The flickering French Empire invested great wealth here. But the result is almost nothing. Naturally, the pressure on Bourblon will not be a star.

But now. It's finally time to work.
