Chapter 388: From prosperity to decline
Recommend a new book, Rise of Empires: Total War
All civilians in the region are not allowed to leave their own region without permission!
Because each region has a different policy!
In order to consolidate his rule, Zhao Dutian did not treat it equally, and in the eastern region of North America, where the guerrillas had not been eliminated, high-pressure military rule was implemented, and white civilians had to bear high taxes to support the main force of the American garrison stationed here!
The Canadian region was relatively modest, with semi-military rule, and after the Han Empire was established, both the Iroquois League and ordinary Indian tribes took refuge in the Han Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Moreover, at the instigation of Jinyiwei, there was obvious ethnic discrimination and even racial vendetta between these newly converted Indians and white colonists!
The empire acted as an intermediary, laughing at each other's vendettas!
The firearms and even cold weapons of the white colonists have been completely confiscated, so the Indians obviously have the advantage in the vendetta, of course, the Indians only have cold weapons, and their muskets have long been handed in and destroyed!
Gradually, the white colonists could not bear the hunting of the hostile Indians, and moved to large and medium-sized cities controlled by the Han Empire, where life could at least be guaranteed!
However, the white people here are to be brutally exploited by the Han Empire!
Just when the number of whites in the Han Empire was extremely reduced, Zhao Dutian seemed to be dissatisfied with the more than one million white population in the territory, the American continent had been pacified, and the last few European colonies in the Americas had been completely uprooted.
By the time the British envoys arrived, the world revolution in Europe had begun to subside from its most frantic stage, and the vast territory of the Russian Empire and the numerous gray cattle of Russia had finally stopped the surging revolutionary army!
Although the Russian Empire lost the warm regions of Belarus, Ukraine, and all the occupied Polish regions in the fierce battle, the capital Moscow was almost under the hands of the revolutionary army!
But the World Revolutionary Army was not Napoleon's army, and to put it bluntly, these World Revolutionary Army did not even have a single commander!
At first, the French World Revolutionary Army was able to hold some commands, but as the scale of the world revolution continued to expand, the number of other nationalities participating in the World Revolutionary Army increased, and the degree of organization was not strong.
In particular, several large-scale battles on Polish territory against the main army of the Russian Empire dealt a great blow to the prestige of France, the initiator of the world revolution!
Even though the main forces of the Russian Empire were crippled, the death of a large number of veterans of the revolutionary army put aside the command of the entire world revolutionary army.
The freedom, peace, and fraternity preached by the French Directory were very popular with the lower classes, but they did not eliminate the barriers between peoples!
Gradually, the French Directory, having lost its absolute superiority, could only watch as the World Revolutionary Army began to fall apart!
A revolution is a revolution, but after the revolution, the generals and officials of various nationalities who have risen from the bottom naturally still hope to gain real independence!
When the backbone of the French revolutionary army was exhausted in the conquest with the Russian Empire, the revolutionary armies of other countries and nationalities naturally began to think more!
Those low-class commoners agreed with the world revolution, not just by slogans, but because of real interests and the absolute force that the French Directory possessed at that time!
The division of the property of the aristocratic class and the big capitalists is naturally an absolute attraction to the lower-class commoners who suffer all day long, and the absolute force of the French Directory can also ensure the success of this behavior of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, and the big guys are naturally willing to follow the French Directory!
As a result, the first world revolution was like a fire lit on dry firewood, and all at once the upper class of society, which had no time to react, was burned clean!
However, years of war and casualties have made the soldiers of the revolutionary army, who have long been divided into the interests of the aristocracy, become slack, and there was originally the intervention of the strong revolutionary army of the French Directory, and everyone is afraid of the power caused by the world revolution, and they can still restrain it, but in order to keep the imperial foundation, the Russian Empire directly fought the main force of the world revolution and lost both, what will the other national revolutionary armies that have lost their shackles do?
First of all, it was the revolutionary army units whose land was far from the Russian Empire itself, led by their respective warlord-like generals, who pulled their troops away in the name of heavy losses, and then, the revolutionary army of the French Directory, which suffered heavy losses, was extraordinarily heartbroken by the actions of the so-called allied forces, although the capital of the Russian Empire was not far away, but everyone refused to die again, and many revolutionary backbones thought that it was not worth fighting with the Slavs!
The most habitable lands of the continent have been liberated, republics of all sizes have blossomed everywhere, and it seems that the purpose of the revolution has been achieved.
The root cause is human selfishness and slackness!
There is no clear leadership, and the Russian Empire still seems to be planning to play with its life in front of it, and everyone is thinking in their hearts, why did Lao Tzu die for the poor in Russia?
Of course, the National Revolutionary Army, which had come to its senses, became reluctant!
As a result, with the exception of the revolutionary armies of national minorities bordering the Russian Empire, such as Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine, fearing the threat of the Russian Empire, did not stop the acts of war, most of the other national revolutionary armies, including the French Revolutionary Army, returned home one after another!
Many of the generals who had already achieved far greater power in the war had completely abandoned the revolution and looked to the throne of domestic power!
Who said that ambition is such a thing as a thing that only the aristocracy has?
Only the rear regime has undergone several changes, and the relatively stable French Revolutionary Army does not have much desire to compete for power and profit due to its great losses.
However, for the French Directory, a new contradiction has arisen!
The world revolution in France brought national consciousness to the destroyed countries of the European continent, and naturally, the once tame European countries did not want to continue to be controlled by the French Directory!
The awakening national consciousness of the Germanic regions, the Italian regions, the Spanish regions, the Portuguese regions, the Swiss regions, etc., began to appeal to the French Directory, the revolution is over, and you should withdraw your troops!
