Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 2095: Hantong in England
At the beginning of the coal war, it was not bad. Although the war broke out, the English royal family could still support it.
In recent years, the English royal family has actually made a lot of money by exporting coal to Datang. The royal family is also a small local tyrant with millions of deposits in the account of the Royal Bank!
In many small countries in this part of Europe, in fact, the English royal family has lived a relatively comfortable life in recent years, at least much better than the Scottish royal family in the north.
But a coal war was to spend all the money, and most of the money was used to purchase weapons and materials for Datang.
After all the money is spent, it is necessary to purchase the method of borrowing. For this reason, the Royal Family of England has successively loaned nearly two million Tang Yuan to the Royal Bank.
However, this is still not enough!
The continuation of the coal war has completely depleted the finances of the English royal family, and now it is even more difficult to borrow money, because they have mortgaged almost everything they can reach.
The only thing left is land, but the attitude of Datang people is clear: in principle, no payment for land is accepted!
In order to be able to use the land to pay, the Ottoman Kingdom had been begging for a long time, and the Tang Dynasty reluctantly agreed to the Ottoman Kingdom to pay with the territory of North Africa.
As for England, for the time being, the Empire has little interest in this broken place.
The weather in this place is not good, and most of the time of the year is cold and cold, and the sun cannot be seen.
Relatively speaking, the Datang Empire still has a favorable impression of the places along the Mediterranean Sea, where the climate is good, but unfortunately there are too many natives.
So, if you don't want land or anything, it's good to sell weapons directly to make money.
Besides, if you really want this place, given that the coal war in England has now spread to Scotland in the north, it is estimated that when their coal war is over, not only will the finances be completely ruined, but the population will also plummet.
At that time, you can try to negotiate with the winner between them, buy the place at a good price, and then help them move the remaining population to Africa, so that the money will be earned and the land will be bought.
In short, don't want this broken place now, if you want it later, you will talk about it later.
By using tariffs and coal income as collateral, the English royal family obtained 800,000 Tang Yuan funds. Using this money, the English royal family purchased 20,000 ordinary model muskets from Datang Arms Trading Company, 100 guns. Artillery and a lot of weapons and ammunition.
Using these weapons and ammunition, the Royal Family of England will supplement part of the existing army and form a new army of about 10,000 people.
This time, the English royal family made a great determination to quell the civil strife and completely win the coal war, so as to control the coal resources of the entire England region for export.
In their words, if the war is won, then more coal can be mined in the future, and more income can be obtained by exporting to Datang, which is enough for them to repay the loan in the future and even have a surplus.
If the war is lost, then there is no need to think about repaying the loan, and the throne may not be able to be preserved by then.
Interestingly, the other side of the coal war, the Free Army of England, had the same idea.
What freedom?
This is not the freedom of people that later generations say, but the freedom of trade!
In other words, they just want to trade coal with Datang on their own, refusing to sell the coal they mined to the London royal family at a low price, and then there is a unified organization organized by the Wang division in London to sell it to the Datang people.
At the same time also want to control more coal mines!
They want more profit.
Of course, this was their first thought. As for now, the coal war is no longer a matter of coal interests, but a matter of the state of England.
Because these are big nobles on the surface, but actually coal merchants and wool merchants. They directly refuse to recognize the ruling power of Elizabeth I, deny that she is the Queen of England, and even reject the messy things like the English Parliament. They think these are barbaric The backwardness of England is also the direct cause of the backwardness of England and all kinds of suffering.
If England wants to become stronger, it needs to reform.
And how to reform?
What else can be done, the Tang Empire is in front of you, just follow the study.
Learn from the Datang Empire to develop industry and commerce, establish a sound education system, and actively participate in trade.
It doesn't matter why the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, just follow the lessons. The Tatar Golden Kingdom has done a good job in this regard.
To be honest, all aspects of the Tatar Jin Kingdom’s system are almost copied from the Tang Empire, not only the political system, but also the military.
For example, now the people of the Tatar Jin Kingdom also implement the military rank system, and the military rank ranges from first-class soldier to second-class soldier to lieutenant officer, school officer, and general officer.
why?
Because the official language of the Tatar Golden Kingdom is also Chinese...
The Tatar Golden Kingdom copied everything that could be copied. As for the ones that couldn’t be copied, there was no other way. It could only be improved by itself. In short, what the Tartar Golden Kingdom did was 'learning from the masters of the Tang Dynasty to control the Tang Dynasty', but, After playing for so long, they desperately found that the distance from Tang Dynasty was getting bigger and bigger, so big that they didn't even have the courage to continue to imitate and study.
However, this is only relative to the Tang Dynasty. If it is relative to other countries, then the current Tatar Golden Kingdom is a giant!
They have no serfs or slaves, and the nearly 20 million people they rule are all free people who can work freely. At the same time, a large number of peasants can get the land distributed by the government for free. Although the government-run education system is not large, it is still working.
And they also have a large professional army.
At the same time, their weapons and equipment are basically self-sufficient. Although the quality is a bit poor, there is no shortage of flintlock guns and smoothbore guns.
Such a Tatar Golden Kingdom, if there is no Datang Empire, then they will undoubtedly be the most terrifying country on this earth, especially for Europe that is still in the Middle Ages, the Tatar Golden Kingdom's power is invincible of.
Without the support of the Tang Empire, Europe would have been swept away by the Golden Kingdom of Tartars long ago.
Now, if England wants to change the current barbaric backwardness and integrate itself into the civilized world, what is the best way?
Just like the Golden Kingdom of Tatar, politically, militarily, educationally, industrially and commercially, it has moved closer to the Tang Empire in an all-round way.
The idea of the English Free Army was to study the Tang Dynasty in an all-round way, so they eagerly hoped to establish a new country with the supremacy of the monarchy, a perfect imperial examination system, a professional bureaucratic administrative system, and at the same time, attaching importance to education, industrial and commercial development.
The British royal family actually agrees with their ideas.
Even in the early days, Queen Elizabeth I was very puzzled, what are you doing? I agree with the concept you said, especially the supremacy of the monarchy, I will raise my hand!
So you are free to directly let me continue to be the queen, and then the education and industrial and commercial reforms will not be finished, why bother.
This is because the leader of the Free Army of England, Charles ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, claimed to be the descendant of the last monarch of the Plantagenet Dynasty, Charles II, hundreds of years ago, and called himself Charles III!
This king, let me be the king!
As for true and false, nonsense, it must be false!
Not only is the bloodline fake, but even the name is fake.
Outsiders do not know that the leader of the English Free Army, the self-proclaimed orthodox heir of the Plantagenet Dynasty, Charles III, is a genuine Tang Dynasty man.
His name is Li Handong. His father is of English descent, but he became a naturalized Tang Dynasty citizen with Viscount Guedes forty years ago, and his mother is a naturalized Portuguese.
Li Handong was born and raised in Guangzhou. After growing up, he worked in the Survey and Statistics Department of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Now he is the deputy director of the European Department's Secret Operations Division.
It's the seventh grade!
