Chapter 135, if you want to fight, you will fight!

London is probably one of the most populous cities in the world right now.

The population alone is more than one million.

There are also a large number of landless peasants who have flocked to London from rural areas in search of jobs, perhaps not at all.

These "low-end populations" underpin what is now the British Empire's position as the world's factory.

The only ones that can compete with London in terms of population density may be Beijing, Jiangning, and Guangzhou in the East.

However, now the position of the British Empire's world factory is clearly seriously threatened by the rising Ming Dynasty in the East.

Because it was a country with a population far larger than England, and at the same time probably more technologically advanced than England.

Before that.

Goods imported from Eastern China, including tea, porcelain, silk, etc.

It is a high-end product.

Although this has led to a long-term deficit position in the UK's trade with China, it has not threatened the survival of the UK's major industrial chains.

Out of fear of the great empire in the East, the British did not dare to make up their minds to send their gunboats to the East.

But that's different now.

Now the "Eastern Question, the Ming Question" has become a question in the London Parliament, King George III, Prime Minister William Jr. Pete urgently needs to face the problem at the moment, and he needs to come up with a solution.

Now there is a series of unrest in France.

For the time being, this unrest remained in France and did not spread to the European countries.

But George III and the British aristocracy would not turn a blind eye to this.

They knew very well that if the industry in Britain was to be hit and the industry withered, the workers who had lost their land and now their jobs were likely to become lifelines around their necks.

Anyway.

With the massive concentration of land in England and the formation of a large-scale factory industrial working class.

These workers have nothing left to lose.

Although Britain forced France to cede Canada through the Seven Years' War.

However, France backhanded and supported the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, causing Britain to suffer heavy losses in North America.

In addition, since the Glorious Revolution, the Whigs, representing the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie, have long controlled the British government, and George III has re-established the Tories through a series of means to balance the situation.

But the power of the Whigs was undoubtedly enormous.

Their voices in parliament cannot be ignored.

Even within the Tory, there are many voices shouting and shouting and killing.

Bipartisan agreement is on the verge of being reached.

After the carriage left the city from dirty London.

The landscape outside the city changes dramatically.

White walls and red tiles, pasture cattle and sheep, grain piles and windmills, a peaceful and quiet rural scenery.

It is no different from the European suburbs of later generations.

In short, it is a picturesque scene.

But Grand Duke Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't have the heart to enjoy the beauty of this English suburb.

He has been in Europe for almost eight years.

Quite knowledgeable about Europe.

In his opinion, the most terrible country in the whole of Europe is Britain.

The country has a strong desire to expand, but they also have a very good ruling skill and a strong military force.

Its lord, George III, was also a wise ruler, and although there were Whigs and Tory parties in the country, the political balance was generally maintained, and because there were enough benefits to be gained from the colonies, both parties could benefit, so the struggle was confined to Parliament.

Another problem in this country is the feud between England and Scotland, which are traditionally considered to be a republican union of two countries.

But also because Britain had vast colonies.

There were market interests in the colonies, and the Celts of Scotland and the Angles of England, the sworn enemies, also agreed because of their interests.

Such a country that is purely pinched together because of interests also has a tradition of fighting because of interests.

It can even be said that the war tactics of this country are also quite terrible.

If Britain decides to take measures against the Ming Dynasty.

This is definitely a big trouble for Daming.

"Consul General, are you still thinking about the reaction of the British?"

Inside the carriage, a young man sitting opposite Duke Lin asked.

The young man's name is Pan Youke, and he is the younger brother of Pan Youdu, the owner of the Thirteen Lines of Tongfu and the president of the Daming Industry and Commerce United Promotion Association.

Before Daming entered Guangzhou, he learned Spanish, French, and English through contact with foreign businessmen.

Later, when the first imperial examination in Guangzhou, he also entered the high school, and was a close minister of the Son of Heaven for a period of time by Zhu Daohua's side, and half a year ago, that is, when the battle of the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Expedition to Jiangxi was fierce, he took a boat from Guangzhou to Europe.

After half a year of sailing, it finally arrived at the port of Pusmouth, England.

He then brought Zhu Daohua's latest instructions on European policy.

It is the three no's principle of not being high-profile, not participating, and not compromising.

Not high-profile, non-participatory.

It is that Da Ming will not take the initiative to participate in European affairs, after all, Da Ming is now unable to project power in Europe, and there is no strength as a backing, so it is not wise to participate in European affairs.

Uncompromise means that in matters involving the interests of the Ming Dynasty, they will not give an inch, and it is the toughest not to give an inch, even if the other party declares war, there is no need to back down.

This is also because Daming is confident that he has absolute control over his own one-third of an acre.

Even if the countries of Europe unite.

Nor can we defeat the Ming in the waters of East Asia!

This is where Zhu Daohua's confidence lies.

"That's right, the enemies of the British and the Spaniards may even be united because of the Ming Dynasty, this Europa is really like the Spring and Autumn Warring States of our country, and it is better to join the vertical and horizontal, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will also be forced to get involved in this Warring States dispute."

Lin Dagong retracted his thoughts and said.

"Consul General, are you worried that Da Ming will be targeted by Europeans?" Pan Youke asked.

"I am indeed worried, there is still a big enemy in the north of Daming, but I am not worried that the Europeans will send troops to Daming, even if they are united, they will not be able to send many troops. But... What if they are allied with the Qing Tartars? Lin Dagong said.

"The alliance is not afraid, the Qing Tartars are not dry bones in the graves, I think the real enemy is the British, they have a vast territory in India, they are also involved in Central Asia, plotting the Western Regions, and destroying the Manchus in the future, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably compete with Britain and Russia in these regions."

Pan Youke knew the Manchus too well.

He did not think that the Manchus could make any qualitative changes with the support of the Europeans, but that they were just more than a million bannermen.

However, in the future, Britain, Russia, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely collide in Central Asia.

As the center of Eurasia.

The geography of this area alone is quite important.

"Consul General, King Ming said that there is no need to be afraid of the threat of the British at this stage, if he wants to fight, he will fight!"

Pan Youke said.

Before he came to Europe.

Daming has already gained an advantage on the battlefield in Jiangxi, and now half a year has passed, if nothing else, Jiangxi is already the territory of Daming.

The Ming Dynasty, which has three provinces, has the confidence to fight in the ring with any European country.

............

I have to say.

In this era, the communication between the East and the West is lagging too much.

Now Zhu Daohua has entered Jiangning City, obtained the entire Jiangnan, and is brewing to become the emperor.

The news from Europe is still the information that Zhu Daohua had just obtained from Guangdong.

Inside Windsor Castle.

King George III's Imperial Chamber.

At this time, George III, who was thin in stature, stood beside two people, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short.

Fat and tall is the current British Prime Minister William. Peter.

This is the youngest prime minister in the UK's history.

The second son of William Pitt the Elder, Earl of Chatham, entered politics in 1781 and ascended to the prime ministerial throne two years later, in 1783. Pete was only twenty-four years old.

In two years, he went from being a nobleman to becoming the prime minister of the British Empire.

This speed can't be described as a smooth step, it's like riding a rocket.

Such a speed, of course, has something to do with his background.

But William Jr. Pete is not a gentleman with a background.

He's got what he can do.

He himself was well versed in state finance and believed in Adam Smith's liberal economics.

It has been nine years since he became prime minister.

By manipulating the commodity tax rate and the national debt, he was able to cover Britain's large fiscal deficit during the American Revolution within a few years.

At the same time, he also vigorously expanded the Australian colony, and also planned to dissolve the East India Company and bring India directly under the British colonial scope.

Historically.

William Pitt Jr. was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1783 to 1801.

The economic policy greatly promoted the development of the industrial revolution in Britain, and the foreign policy of continental equilibrium was implemented, which laid the foundation of the entire British diplomacy in the 19th century.

Organized the Franco-French Alliance, suppressed the French Revolution, and intervened in the Napoleonic Wars.

It can be said that he is a very promising prime minister in British history.

Thin, short, is Vice Admiral Nelson of the British Royal Navy.

Nelson was one of the greatest generals in the history of the British Royal Navy.

However, Nelson does not have the name of later generations, and he was idle after participating in the war against the United States.

In 1789 there was a turmoil in France, and Nelson was reactivated.

However, he was really used in history during the First Anti-French Alliance, but now Nelson has been greatly used in advance because of the rise of the Ming Dynasty - everyone knows Nelson's naval talent.

The news from the East made Britain quite uneasy.

In particular, the defeat of the Dutch fleet made it difficult for Britain, which had seized world hegemony by relying on its navy.

The weapons used by Zhu Daohua and the mode of naval warfare are undoubtedly a subversion of the naval tactics of the current era of sail battleships.

And the immediate effect of this subversion is likely to be to turn the huge fleet painstakingly managed by the British into an ornament overnight!

Against this background.

Nelson was commissioned as a researcher on the tactics of the new fleet.

How to make the transformation of Britain's maritime power faster than other countries is Nelson's main task.

At the same time, Britain also formed a new Naval Tactical Research Office.

Led by Nelson, it also includes a number of experts in firearms technology, naval experts, and shipbuilding experts.

It can be said that the British have reacted quite quickly to the new tactical movements.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
