The Haitian revolution was not an internationalist revolution, the main leaders of this revolution were blacks with some education, and it was essentially a revolution against slavery. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Most of the black Haitians naturally oppose the system of enslavement of themselves, but it is really difficult for them to further understand the so-called internationalism. Only such as the leader of the uprising, Toussaint. Lou Weitul and others have a certain understanding of internationalism from the Tang Dynasty.

There are black troops in the Datang Special Corps, but although this unit can fight, its combat effectiveness is relatively limited, and it belongs to the bottom of the Datang Special Corps. This unit is not only poor in technology and tactics, but even in terms of discipline, it does not look like the Tang Army, which has strict military discipline, so this unit rarely even appears on the battlefield, and there have always been voices in the country that want to directly disband such a force that is of little use.

The level of education of this black unit is also not high, unlike many other ad hoc regiments, which are basically literate in the process of service, and the soldiers of this Negro regiment are still as high as more than sixty percent of the soldiers are illiterate. It is not so easy for the illiterate to understand the national spirit of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very unrealistic to expect them to spread internationalism to Haiti for the Tang Dynasty.

Some cadres of the First International had proposed that this black force be sent to Haiti to support the black revolution in Haiti, but even the Ministry of Defense itself opposed this, because they feared that after this force entered Haiti, it might not be able to fight a few battles, and then it would disintegrate, and the soldiers would desert and not continue to fight. The Datang Ministry of Defense is worried that if such a situation really occurs, then the Tang Army's face will be lost.

Therefore, on the matter of the Haitian revolution, Bai Nan made a decision at the meeting of the First International, and only sent a small number of clerks to Haiti, bringing with him some internationalist monographs, but he did not make any material contribution to the Haitian revolution. After all, Haiti is still a French colony. Although Datang has Germany, a hardcore ally or junior brother, in Europe, France is still very important to Datang, and the matter of dismantling France on the surface cannot be done too much.

The situation in the other French colony was similar to that of Haiti, but the revolution was led by progressives influenced by internationalism. The Guiana region adjacent to Colombia and Brazil. In the other plane, it is divided into three parts - Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. French Guiana is a region of France and has its own seat in the French Parliament, while the rest of Guyana and Suriname have achieved independent status. Guyana was a British colony and Suriname was a Dutch colony, although both Guyana and Suriname were Dutch colonies at this time.

At the beginning, Datang took advantage of the Anglo-Dutch War to blackmail the Dutch colonies, and once offered to get the Dutch colonies here, but the Netherlands gritted its teeth, and Datang was not so eager to obtain Guyana, so it gave up this request.

But then Datang was in the operation of South America. Although the strength of the Guyana Revolution was weaker than that of Peru and Colombia, and their presence in the First International was thin, they also had a great ambition, that is, to merge Dutch Guiana and French Guiana into a unified Republic of Guyana, establish the rule of the National Revolution, and develop national strength.

Similar to Haiti, there are a significant number of black people living in the area. They were all sold as slaves from Africa, and their living conditions were extremely poor. Shortly after the Haitian Revolution. The National Revolution of Guyana put forward the slogan of emancipating slaves by mobilizing black slaves, and first carried out an uprising in French Guiana.

There were not many blacks who led the uprising, and the national revolution of Guyana was not very numerous, only a few thousand, and it was mainly white. There are also some Tang people from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, blacks also joined the National Revolution, but the number was relatively small.

The Guyana Revolution instigated a number of black revolts, with black slaves burning plantations and smashing their masters' homes, and even raping female members of the plantation owners' homes. The scale of this riot is not small. The local government also sent soldiers to suppress it, but they soon found that although the slaves did not have any weapons, but the number was too large, tens of thousands of slaves with improvised weapons, had frightened the French army, after the two sides started a battle, although the French army killed a lot of black slaves, but still had to withdraw, because the ammunition was limited, and it seemed that the number of enemies was too large.

After repelling the French army, the rebellious blacks took advantage of the situation to capture Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, but the rebellious blacks also caused serious damage to the city. This also made the Guyana national revolution not very satisfied, but there was not much that could be done. The organizers of the Guyana National Revolution were ready to persuade the blacks to invade Dutch Guiana again and completely control Guyana. But the blacks lacked much initiative, and after taking the Cayenne and looting on a large scale, many blacks chose to occupy the houses of the whites, and began to squander the wealth of the whites, leaving them completely behind to fight or something.

The Guyana National Revolution was very angry and helpless about this, after all, there was nothing they could do to solve it. Unlike the national revolutions of several South American countries that were committed to building their own armed forces, the national revolutions of Guyana did not have their own armed forces because of their relatively small forces, and they directly defeated the colonists by inciting black slaves, but at this time their problems were also exposed. I can't fully control the army, I can't do whatever I want, and in the end, when there is a great opportunity, I can only stare dryly.

The National Revolution of Guyana also launched a black uprising and riot in Dutch Guiana, although the Dutch army succeeded in suppressing some uprisings, many plantations were destroyed, and some areas were occupied by black people, and the production of the whole region also tended to be stalled because of the uprising, which brought huge losses to the plantation owners.

At least in the short term, it is unlikely that the National Revolution of Guyana will want to merge the two Guyanas into a unified republic. However, geographically there is no direct connection between the two Guyanas, but the Guyana Revolution still wants to build a relatively large country as much as possible, because in South America several countries are actually not small in size, and if the revolution in Brazil succeeds, then Guyana will be the last region to be divided and powerless.
