There was silence in the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers all bowed their heads and were silent with serious expressions. This was the first setback since the empire liberated Europe, and although only Britain, France, and Prussia remained, it was the core of Europe, the gathering place of European wealth and military power, and the engine of Europe.

Now that all the defeated aristocratic armies of the Western world had converged on France, they had reorganized an unprecedented Anglo-French-Prussian army to prepare for a local counteroffensive against the field armies of the Great Chinese Empire. On the top of the main hall, only the regent Wang Jian came out of the column to report the battle in detail in front of him, and then returned to the team and stood without saying a word.

Yes, the ministers of this era did not understand the historical, economic, geographical, human, and military ...... of Europe at all What can we expect them to say? After the front-line troops are frustrated, they can only be at a loss. After the setback of the two fields and the three fields, the morale was also affected, and I immediately ordered the two fields and the three fields to retreat 100 miles back and set up camp to maintain their defense, and the whole army of the first field stopped resting and immediately rushed to the French front day and night, and the three major imperial field armies must carry out an iron bucket encirclement of France and Prussia within half a month, during which the imperial air force must carry out uninterrupted air strikes on the enemy-occupied areas, and the main purpose of the strikes is psychological warfare and weaken the enemy's will.

At the same time, the South China Sea Fleet stopped integrating resources, quickly arrived at the English Channel, cut off the supply lines of Britain and France, and the North Sea Fleet, which had already won a complete victory in the Americas, stopped taking a vacation and quickly reached the English Channel from the Atlantic...... The ministers have no problem with all these strategic adjustments I have made, after all, they know too little about Europe.

Here it is necessary for me to give them a general overview of European social and military power: "First of all, as a minister of the empire, you must open your eyes and look at the world. It is better to distinguish the age in this world, and before the Dahua Empire was stable, Europe was not idle, and the "Thirty Years' War" broke out in Europe in 1618 AD. In 1625 England, the Netherlands, and Denmark concluded an alliance against the Irish Habsburgs. Battle of the Mantua Heritage of 1628. In 1630 Sweden entered the Thirty Years' War. In 1635 France entered the Thirty Years' War.

Then the bourgeois revolution in England began. This made Britain gradually become stronger and transformed into an industrial power, before which Britain's production was mainly based on agriculture, and the textile industry was still an inconspicuous industry in people's lives. With the discovery of new shipping routes, international trade expanded in the Flemish region in the northwest corner of the European continent. The woollen textile industry suddenly flourished, and it was also driven in nearby England. The rapid development of the wool textile industry has gradually increased the demand for wool, and the price of wool in the market has begun to soar.

Britain was originally a traditional sheep breeding country, and at this time, in addition to meeting domestic needs, it also had to meet foreign wool needs. As a result, sheep farming is becoming more and more profitable compared to agriculture. At this time, some wealthy aristocrats began to invest in sheep farming. Raising sheep requires large tracts of land. The aristocrats drove away the peasants who had rented their land. They even demolished their houses and occupied the land where they could raise sheep. For a time, meadows divided into patches by wooden fences, fences, ditches and fences were everywhere in England.

Farmers who have been evicted from their homes have become homeless vagrants. This is the enclosure movement. At the same time as the King of England issued an edict restricting enclosures. Restrictions on vagrants were also restricted, with the aim of allowing peasants who had been evicted from their homes to accept low-wage jobs. Anyone who is able to work is not able to find a job within the prescribed time. All will be brought to justice. Usually, for those wandering peasants, once caught. They are to be whipped and sent back to their place of origin. If he is found wandering again, half of his ears are to be cut off. The third time he was found to be wandering, he was sentenced to death. ...

Later, the British Parliament issued a decree that anyone who had wandered for a month and had not found a job was to be sold into slavery if he was denounced, and that his master could drive him to any kind of labor at will. If such a slave escapes, he will be sentenced to life slavery if he is caught. The third escape: to be sentenced to death. Anyone has the right to take the children of vagrants as apprentices and to use them as hard labor. During the reigns of King Henry VIII and Elizabeth, a large number of wandering peasants were executed. As a result of the enclosure, the number of peasants in Britain became smaller and smaller, and the peasants who lost their land had no choice but to move into the cities and become urban proletarians.

In order to survive, they had to enter the artisanal workshops for the production of wool products and other products, and became cheap laborers for the capitalists. In this kind of manual workshop, the workers are paid very low wages and have to work more than ten hours a day. The countries were not strong, the Hundred Years' War between England and France had not yet ended, their capital accumulation had not yet been completed, and it was a great opportunity for the Great Empire to liberate the people of Europe at this time......"

The ministers were stunned by me in the clouds, but this is indeed an excellent opportunity for the Han nation, and now the capital market in the empire has formed a scale, and the capital accumulation has long been full of pots and has been bravely advancing towards the moderately developed countries in capital. The rapid development of the empire is obvious to all, the abundant materials, the happy life of the people, this is the life that the people want.

What primitive society, feudal society, capitalist society, and these names have a relationship with the common people? The common people live hard enough, and the pressure of life is also great, who has time to bother about the nature of society? If you don't talk about it, can you get annoyed? Do the people have the right to speak? So I don't fool the common people, and there is no need to tell them whether the Dahua Empire is a feudal society or a capitalist society, do they understand? Maybe they don't even understand the so-called "experts" in their previous lives, right?

Since the so-called experts also have to "cross the river by feeling the stones." Since they don't understand it, then don't fool the common people; the experts themselves don't understand it, and they fail everywhere and lose money, and some people lose all the people's money and still don't repent, saying that they are paying "tuition." Then why don't you use your own family's money to pay for tuition? Since you can't understand it, then don't be ashamed to say anything about superiority, bury yourself in doing a good job, engage in a clean government, and do practical things.

If the country becomes rich and strong, and the living standards improve, all this does not need to be propagated, and the people naturally have eyes, and they see it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts, who is good? Who is bad? Which doctrine is good? What society is good? Do you still use the imperial court to "sell and boast"? The people know very well in their hearts! (To be continued......
