107 colonies

In the seventeenth century, the bourgeois revolution took place in England, after which the political and economic power of Britain increased rapidly. After the victory over Spain in 1588, the victory over the Netherlands and the fierce struggle for hegemony with France in the world accelerated the pace of English colonization in North America.

In 1606, the English crown granted charters to two joint-stock companies made up of large merchants and landed nobles, the London Company (also known as the Virginia Company) and the Plylaus Company (later merged with the Massachusetts Bay Company), granting them the privilege of developing the North American colonies. It was a comprehensive combination of overseas commerce, smuggling, piracy and the slave trade. In May 1607, the London Company sent the first immigrants to North America and founded James City. The immigrants included speculators, bankrupt gentlemen, white indentured slaves, etc., a total of 105 people. Originally built as a grassy wilderness, immigrants built a church, a gun emplacement, and a few huts to begin their new life in North America. The mortality rate of immigrants was extremely high due to plague, smallpox, yellow fever, and the national revenge of the Indians. According to research, only 32 of the first batch of immigrants survived. Since then, in order to survive and develop, white indentured slavery has increased day by day. Jamestown gradually developed into a Virginia colony. After the outbreak of the bourgeois revolution in England, many royal and landed aristocrats also migrated to Virginia, and most of them became the new aristocrats and large plantation owners of the region. These include the Washington family, the Mordison family, the Monroe family.

In 1607, none of the settlement areas established by the Plymouth Company were successful. In 1620, 102 English immigrants, including 35 Puritans who had been religiously persecuted, arrived in Plymouth on the ship "Mayflower", and before landing, some of them entered into a pact of self-government within the Puritans, known as the Mayflower Convention.

The world's most famous ship, the Mayflower, has a deadweight of about 180 tons and a length of 90 feet. He is best known for carrying a group of Separatists to North America to establish the colony of Plymouth and for formulating the Mayflower Convention on the ship. The Great Secession, the most radical of the English Puritans, left England for the Netherlands in August 1608 due to brutal persecution by the Anglican Church. Some of them decided to move to North America and signed an immigration contract with Virginia. On September 1620, under the leadership of the priest Brest, he sailed to North America on the Mayflower. There were l02 passengers on board, including 35 separatists, artisans, fishermen, poor peasants and 14 indentured slaves. On 21 November, he arrived at Cape Cod (present-day Provincetown, Massachusetts) and disembarked in Plymouth on the first day after Christmas. Prior to the landing, on 21 November, the Separatist leader presided over the elaboration of a jointly respected Mayflower Convention in the cabin of the ship, which was signed by 41 free adult men. Its content is: organizing civic groups; Prepare just laws, decrees, rules and regulations. This convention laid the foundation for self-government in the New England states.

The British king once "granted" large tracts of land in North America to his favored vassals or nobles, and the recipients were called "owners". The owners used the land as their "territory" and recruited immigrants to reclaim it. The Navigation Regulations of 1650 and 1651, when Cromwell promulgated the Navigation Regulations, while the main objective was to combat the Dutch, they also restricted the colonies from using their own ships to transport their products for export. In 1660, the Enumeration of Commodities Act was enacted, stipulating that the goods of the colonies, such as tobacco, sugar, cotton, and indigo, could only be exported to England, and if they were shipped to other European countries, they had to be unloaded in England before being sold by English merchants and then exported to foreign countries. The purpose of this law was clearly to turn the North American colonies into a supplier of raw materials for British industry, so that the British industrial capitalists could buy cheap raw materials. In 1663, Britain enacted the Major Commodities Act, which stipulated that, with the exception of a few commodities, all goods imported from Europe by the North American colonies must first be unloaded at the British shore, taxed by the British government, and then converted into British ships before they could be shipped to the colonies. The purpose of the Act was to protect the North American market for British goods in order to compete with the rest of Europe. This law was the first step in turning the North American colonies into a market for goods monopolized by the British. Since then, Britain has set up customs in the colonies to collect taxes on the import of goods from other European countries other than the United Kingdom. These regulations brought all the foreign trade of the colonies under British control.

To sum up, it is impossible for King Charles II of England to cede thirteen colonies. So far, of course, it is the French who have suffered the most, and the British have not been too affected.

Nothing came of this meeting, except that the French and the Spaniards could not afford a complete defeat, and above all the British and Spaniards could not give up a large colony of the Americas.

With the cooperation of the naval fleet, Li Long finally occupied the vast area of Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic islands in northern North America, and occupied all the areas where the future land of Canada was located, and the other four armies firmly occupied Greenland, Newfoundland, and the islands.

In the newly built Palace of Santa Maria, Li Long also allowed to preserve this historical famous building, and established a city here, the Palace of Santa Maria Maria was built in 1647, the palace is richly decorated, and many old oil paintings are even more valuable.

Nowadays, the Chinese Empire's industry is booming, and the basic chemical industries such as acids and alkalis are the world's first and only ones, and the chemical products used in dyes, medicines, and detergents all rely on the chemical industry, especially the dye industry of the Chinese Empire occupies 9.9 percent of the world's market share. Due to the rapid rise of the Chinese Empire's industry, although the European countries did not deal with the Chinese Empire, and some even went to war, they all established certain trade contacts with the Chinese Empire, and it was a complete deficit trade exchange. In trade with the Chinese Empire, to elect Frederick? William's representative of Brandenburg, which was later Prussia, and the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who was divided into more than 300 small countries, ranked first, Finland ranked second, Sweden was third, France was fourth, followed by Portugal and Britain, but for the Chinese Empire, a huge country that occupied most of the world's resources and commodities, the increase in trade with it was the basis for European countries to make money, so in addition to the chaotic Holy Roman Empire, Other countries still traded with the Chinese Empire even when they were fighting against the Chinese Empire, and the merchants of the Chinese Empire were willing to make their money, so even if they were fighting, it would not affect the trade between the countries and the Chinese Empire.

With the stability of northern North America, Li Long immediately ordered the people in the country to start emigrating again, and the merchants behind it also began to establish a stronghold and build cities in the occupied areas of the Chinese Empire in North America, after Li Long's order was issued, hundreds of thousands of immigrants entered North America, more than 20,000 engineers with a million slaves immediately rushed to Lushun by train, and then entered the Americas by boat, and three days later built a large number of temporary buildings in the northwest of North America 170 kilometers, and began to build improvised railways. Then a second group arrived, helping to build railroads to load and unload supplies, expand camps, build cities, and a third, until millions of immigrants and slaves entered North America.

The reorganization of the Chinese Imperial Coercion Army into 80 divisions, adding up to 800,000 men, was also the result of the convergence of all the coercive army and the tens of thousands of elites of various ethnic groups gathered from within the country. In addition to the combat effectiveness of the 40 infantry divisions and five cavalry divisions, the rest of the troops are "water-injected pork", of which a quarter have muskets, more than 10% of the soldiers do not have any military training records, and the equipment is also varied, in addition to eliminating the long and short bows, although there are not many crossbow arrows, but there are still spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, as well as engineers, grenadiers, and demolition soldiers.

In 1603, the Massachusetts Bay Company established the Massachusetts Colony. In 1607, the British established the first colonial stronghold in North America, James City. In the seventeenth century, wealthy Puritans who migrated to Massachusetts established a religious oligarchy in the colony, subjecting them to brutal religious persecution of other minority denominations. In the thirties of the seventeenth century, a group of religious persecuted minority missionaries led a group of immigrants to establish the colonies of Connecticut and Rod Aland. Roger? Williams and Anna? Mrs. Heqingsen also established various cities in the Rhodes Aland area. The founder of Connecticut, was a religiously persecuted priest Thomas? Hooker. Most of the people who migrated to the two colonies were working people, and the propertied people entered into "self-government conventions" to govern themselves according to their will. As a result, such colonies were also known as "self-governing colonies" and were later recognized by the British Crown and chartered to them. The inhabitants of these two colonies enjoyed more democratic freedoms than the inhabitants of the other colonies.

New Hampshire was originally a colony given by the British king to British landland nobles such as Mason in the twenties of the 17th century, and most of the "upper-class" elements who migrated were the defense party and priests. Religious persecution minorities in Massachusetts also arrived, and New Hampshire flourished, being occupied by Massachusetts in 1641. In 1679, New Hampshire broke away from Massachusetts and became a crown colony. In addition to the above-mentioned corporate concession colonies and self-governing colonies, the British established another type of colony in North America, known as the owner colonies. In 1632, the British king granted his favorite retainer, Lord Baltimore, a "charter" to establish the colony of Maria. This type of colony, which is granted to the British king's favored vassals or personal fiefs for special merits to the British crown, is often referred to as an owner colony. This kind of owner colony, according to the intention of the British king, transplanted feudalism by England, therefore, it is feudal in nature, and the owner rules the people of the colony on behalf of the British king and controls the resources of the colony. He was free to divide the land, to impose a reward, and to have great rights. Maryland was the first British owner colony in North America.

After the restoration of the Stuarts in England in 1660, Britain established seven colonies in North America - New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. New York was originally the Dutch New Netherlands, but the British defeated the Dutch and took it from the Dutch, and then divided the Hudson River Valley into two colonies, New York and New Jersey. The British crown granted New York to the Duke of York as an owner's colony, and Delaware was a Swedish colony established in the thirties of the seventeenth century and lost to the Dutch in the fifties. In 1664 the English king took it from the Dutch, and it has been an owner colony ever since.
