Chapter 775: Parting
Why has India been invaded and conquered by foreign enemies so many times throughout history? For example, how did the Mughals, as Turkic Mongols, unify the Indian subcontinent in such a short period of time? Another example is the British, who are world-famous for their sullen greed, so why are Indians willing to accept British rule?
In the final analysis, it is also because the princes of the princely states do not have a unified sense of India, they only care about their own interests, as long as their own one-third of an acre of land is not violated, who is in charge of the country actually has little to do with the vast majority of the princely state owners.
In fact, in the eyes of Indians, there is essentially no difference between the Chinese and the British, who have seized dominance over India by defeating forces such as France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, while China, in turn, has defeated the powerful British and is the new master of India.
It's just that the Chinese are kind, affectionate and righteous, sympathetic to the weak, and do not enslave other countries, so they did not continue to oppress and rule India like the British, but returned India to the Indian people.
So why was it set in 1864? Because it is very likely to fight against Russia this year, Wang Feng does not have the energy to get too involved in the Indian issue.
In addition to continuing to meet with the princes of the princely states, Wang Feng also issued an order to impose economic sanctions on the British!
The full text is: After investigation, the Chinese government has every reason to conclude that the human rights situation of British workers is extremely bad, and that workers lack political power and are deeply exploited economically in addition to maintaining the most basic living needs. At the same time, Britain was going deeper and deeper down the wrong path of industrialization. The one-sided pursuit of profit has led to the extreme pollution of rivers, land and air.
In order to urge the British government to improve the human rights situation of workers. In order to provide a clean living environment for the British people and to promote the sustainable development of the United Kingdom, the Chinese government will impose 100% punitive tariffs on all products originating in the United Kingdom from now on.
Here, the Chinese government solemnly calls on all countries in the world to join the plan to sanction the United Kingdom, until the poor human rights and environmental protection situation in the United Kingdom has improved, and the Chinese government and the governments of the participating countries have evaluated and approved the sanctions before lifting the sanctions!
The whole text is sprinkled with hundreds of words. The whole article is high-sounding.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Britain's cheap goods pose a threat to Chinese manufacturing, which can't be helped, Chinese factories still pay workers wages, and there are requirements for environmental protection, which will undoubtedly increase production costs, so Wang Feng can only raise the cost of British goods to protect domestic production enterprises, and seek to join forces with other countries to stifle British industrial production.
In order to achieve this goal. In his meeting with the princely state lords of India, Wang Feng made more demands for trade sanctions against the British.
The princely states gladly agreed, for it was obvious that a 100 per cent tariff would bring a lot of revenue, and that cheap British goods would have an impact on the normal production of India. In the past, it did not dare to impose tariffs on British goods, but now there are Chinese support, if Britain uses force. With China to deal with it, why not?
Besides. Wang Feng immediately gave an order to Sheng Xuanhuai and Wu Wenrong, asking them to take the name of China's Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs. Persuade the six Chinese countries in Southeast Asia to coordinate the implementation of trade sanctions against the UK, and persuade major Western countries such as the United States and France to follow up with major countries in Central and South America such as Argentina, Chile, and Mexico to follow up on the sanctions against the UK.
The two ministries were also authorized to commence negotiations and consultations on the establishment of a free trade area for the Western Pacific and the Southern Indian Ocean with the six countries of Southeast Asia and the Golden Empire.
Britain's lifeblood is trade, cut off its trade channels, Britain is only a small island country of 200,000 square kilometers, within 10 years, will be beaten into the original shape, now that Britain's colonies in Southeast Asia and South Asia have been lost, it is time to chase after the poor, even if not to complete the full battle, at the very least, to expel British goods from the Asian market.
So Wang Feng brandished the stick of human rights and environmental protection against the UK!
Wang Feng stayed in Calcutta for a full menstrual cycle of Queen Zhangxi, for more than 20 days, he worked hard every night, if this did not make Queen Zhangxi pregnant, then he would have no choice, he could only wait until two years later, and then help Queen Zhangxi slowly adjust her body.
On 15 February, when the time finally came for the Chinese side to leave, the wharf in Kolkata was crowded with Indian friends who had come to see them off.
Perhaps it was the demonstration effect of Wang Feng marrying Queen Zhangxi that both people and money were gained, and some young officers of the Navy of the Democratic League took advantage of the opportunity to stay in Calcutta, and also married the brides of several wealthy families, not only holding the beauty, but also receiving a lot of dowry, although it is incomparable with the sky-high dowry that Queen Zhangxi gave to Wang Feng, the value is at least more than 10,000 yuan.
You must know that 10,000 Chinese yuan is equivalent to 17,434 grams of gold, which is a huge wealth even if it is placed in a wealthy family in China!
On the dock, these officers took the bride and their father-in-law to say their final goodbyes, and Queen Zhangxi was also full of reluctance, and said quietly: "Feng, happy days always pass quickly, I am really reluctant to part with you, but you have important things to do, I can't leave my people alone, I can only hope that time will pass quickly, and I will take my children to China to find you in two years." ”
Wang Feng's heart is also very reluctant, Queen Zhangxi's love is unreserved, from property to body, completely dedicated, in fact, it is very easy for a man to fall in love with a woman, Wang Feng found that he was really in love with each other.
Forcibly squeezing out a smile, Wang Feng took out the title deed from his pocket, handed it over and said: "These are better returned to you, you don't shirk, you don't want to think about your children if you don't want to be born without food or clothing." ”
Queen Zhangxi took the title deed generously and nodded vigorously: "I understand, we will all be fine, you have to take care, okay, don't talk about it, you can leave quickly." ”
"Take care!" Wang Feng hugged Queen Zhangxi, then turned around and walked towards the ship.
"Wang Feng!" Queen Zhangxi suddenly called, Wang Feng turned his head, and saw that Queen Zhangxi's face was full of tears, and she rushed over and hugged herself tightly.
"Woo woo~~" Queen Zhangxi cried heartbreakingly, held Wang Feng's face, and kissed it fiercely.
If you ask, what does a parting kiss taste like? Wang Feng will definitely say that it is salty, tasting the salty taste, Wang Feng felt that the corners of his eyes were also a little red, and Zhou Xiuying and Yang Shuijiao turned their heads and wiped their eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Queen Zhangxi broke free from Wang Feng's arms and pushed hard: "You go, remember to wait for me!" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Feng took a deep breath and took steps again, this time, Queen Zhangxi did not catch up until Wang Feng boarded the ship, the whistle sounded, and the fleet slowly sailed away from the dock.
Everyone could see clearly that there was a woman in full costume on the pier, waving her arms vigorously, over and over again, as if she were tireless. (To be continued.) )
