Napoleon Bonaparte, a famous French dwarf.
In Liu Zheng's world, there was a saying: "Only dwarfs, women and foreigners can save France!" ', although this sentence is not rigorous, it is very popular.
In fact, it makes a lot of sense.
The woman refers to the greatest woman in French history, Joan of Arc.
The Hundred Years War between France and Britain, the war that almost destroyed France, was stopped by her.
It was she who broke the British army and conquered France's large lost territories.
And the dwarf was talking about Napoleon Bonaparte!
He will defeat the whole of Europe. In Liu Zheng's memory of his previous life, Napoleon's achievements will be praised by future generations.
He is too powerful.
He was almost going to unify the whole of Europe and was the God of War in France.
Liu Zheng did not expect that he would be in this place now and hear Bonaparte's name again.
Liu Zheng looked thoughtfully at the direction Bonaparte left just now, and was unusually silent. He didn't know whether the other party was really the person he imagined.
Li Hongtian took a step forward and asked, "What are you thinking about, sir?"
"Nothing, I just saw a familiar face and asked our people to pay attention to a soldier named Bonaparte. If necessary, we can help him."
Li Hongtian was stunned, wondering why Liu Zheng was so interested in a soldier, but he still praised: "Yes."
Liu Zhengyou walked around a few times and became familiar with the situation in Paris. He looked at the darkening sky.
"Let's go to the Palace of Versailles to meet Louis XV..."
…
At this time, America.
British Colony!
Clancy received orders to impose a tax on tea.
But at this time, Britain's local forces and military had become stronger, and it was still extremely difficult for him to promote the order to impose a tea tax.
But there is no way.
Clancy called a meeting of legislators from thirteen states.
"This is not a discussion or a notification, but an order, an order that needs to be resolutely implemented!" Clancy glanced at the various congressmen or representatives from the thirteen states.
He said in a deep voice: "The British mainland has enacted a bill. From now on, tea here can only be imported from the British mainland, and corresponding imported tea will have to pay a part of the tax."
As soon as this statement came out, all the representatives participating in the parliament were in an uproar!
"Even if it is an order issued by Britain, we cannot obey it!"
"There are tens of millions of people drinking tea on the North American continent. This will inevitably squeeze the interests of tea merchants and raise the selling price."
"Many of our people cannot afford tea, and those tea merchants have no way to sell tea!"
"Why should people in North America pay taxes to people in Britain?"
“We, the North American congressmen, did not participate in the discussion on such a decree!”
"We will never take on any debt that does not belong to us!"
Clintsy looked at the situation that was about to get out of control and took a snap!
The huge and spacious conference table made a heavy sound, interrupting the conversations of all the congressmen. Clintsy glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Such a policy is also very good for us."
"The taxes we collect will pay for the military expenses here. Have you forgotten the debt we owed during the war?"
"If we don't have this money, how are we going to deal with the debt going forward and who is going to fund it for us?"
Hearing this sentence, everyone was silent.
Seeing this, Clincy knew that his words had worked. After all, owing the army military expenses was a fatal matter.
But at this moment, a man raised his hand.
Clincy frowned and looked over. When he saw George, his face suddenly sank!
George also attended this meeting, and after all, he is also a member of the Council of Vergilis.
George spoke: "I'm just a little confused. We should be able to get compensation from the French Colonial District for this war. This money is enough to cover the losses caused by our war."
"But now it's a bit unreasonable to ask our tea merchants to pay the debt."
“And as far as I know, our tea merchants’ favorite imports are the cheaper tea leaves from the Netherlands.”
"If tea merchants are forced to import these more expensive British teas, if there is a rebellion, if there is unrest, what will we do?"
Seeing George expose these issues, Clancy saw that the already unsteady positions of the lawmakers began to waver again.
He shouted angrily and cursed directly: "George, what I just said was an order. Do you want to disobey an order from Britain?"
George shrugged indifferently: "No, I'm just raising the issue. After all, people in North America don't want to pay for people in Britain."
"Get out!"
"You've been kicked out of this meeting!" Clancy yelled.
The congressmen looked at George. None of them stood up to speak to George.
Now that the war is over, it is not the same as before. Although the local armed forces in North America are strong, they are still too weak compared to Britain, which has free hands.
The right to speak as members of Congress is of little use in the face of such absolute force.
George glanced at Clancy, sneered, stood up, straightened his clothes, and left the conference room.
Clincy promoted the order to Britain and imposed a tax on tea.
And such a government order has been issued, and fierce confrontations have begun throughout the British colonial area.
Most people couldn't stand Britain's arbitrary rule, and they couldn't accept these teas that were nearly twice as expensive.
"There are obviously cheaper teas, why not import them!"
"We will never pay for the British war!"
As slogans like this resounded throughout the British colonial area, some bold tea merchants even risked their lives and went to Longyan City to import tea.
I just want to avoid customs duties and taxes through smuggling.
After Qing Yangshuo heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh. He had never heard of the turmoil caused by the price of tea.
They even forced these tea merchants to smuggle.
But Qing Yangshuo also read something else from this incident.
For example, the current British colonial area is in a mess because of the tea incident.
Several organizations were even born with the goal of colonial independence.
Originally, Qing Yangshuo was not very interested in the civil strife in the British colonial area.
Now that the power of Longyan City has expanded, both France and Britain have given up large tracts of colonies for the Indians to survive.
In fact, it is the area controlled by Long Yan, and the Indians living there are all cooperating with Long Yan.
Now Longyan City also maintains a transcendent status because of the Panama Canal.
There is no point in being involved in such a fight.
But today, a special person came, and Qing Yangshuo began to pay attention to the dynamic figure in the British Colonial Zone - George.
"Hello, Mr. Qing Yangshuo, it's a pleasure to see you again."
"This time, I came to you in a hurry because the chaos in North America has become very prominent. There are many people who want to separate the British colonial area and establish a country."
"But I want to ask your opinion. After all, if the colonial area is independent, a country must recognize its status."
