New Shun 1730

There are nearly a thousand New Englanders gathered in the seaside town waiting for their fate.

The sheriff in this group, Robert Dennis, is trying to appease these people as much as possible, and hopes to find a few eloquent people in the crowd to negotiate with the so-called "revenge-blinded and irrational" Acadians to allow them to withdraw to New England.

Robert Dennis is a typical military landlord. In fact, there are people of the same type in Prussia, but Prussia is called "Junker".

The eldest son inherits, and the second son joins the army, fights, kills, and is granted land. Standard military state.

As the saying goes, one step fast, every step fast. People like Robert Dennis, who take the first step and are sheriffs at this time, basically his descendants can mix in the top circle of Canada.

For example, his great-grandson is Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden. The most famous deed is that as the Prime Minister of Canada, he participated in World War I and then bloodily suppressed the workers' movement that spread to Canada when the red flags were everywhere after the end of World War I.

But now, British Canada does not exist yet, and this early "pioneer" is only a captain, serving as a justice of the peace in the Annapolis Valley.

Given that he participated in the Battle of Lake George before, he was rewarded for his merits and was awarded a large piece of land here.

After the subsequent expulsion of the Acadians, some farmers were recruited from New England to settle here.

It should be said that these people had a "good life" for two years.

The land is arable land.

The houses were originally there, and they could move in after driving the people away.

The most annoying water conservancy facilities and irrigation dams had already been built here.

In short, it is definitely more comfortable to occupy the magpie's nest than to build a nest by yourself.

However, it was only two years of good days.

Counting to now, it has only been two years, and the Acadians have returned with the support of Dashun and the help of the French regular army.

Not only did they come back, but they also unreasonably wanted revenge.

There is a saying that goes, either do not do evil, or cut the grass and root it out if you want to do evil.

With the participation of Dashun in the war, France held out in North America, so it was impossible to eradicate the root of the problem. Therefore, since they had done evil and failed to eradicate the root of the problem, revenge was inevitable.

For example, Robert Dennis was a military noble, although a relatively low-level military noble. He had participated in the war, the massacre and the expulsion of the Acadians. If he was killed, it would be a matter of accepting defeat.

However, the rest of the settlers, migrants, or members of the pioneer group were a little too sad.

In short, they were a group of people who were enslaved by the invaders.

Most of those who came from New England to farm here were Irish.

In 1609, Britain invaded Ireland in full, followed by a colonization and "people want to change species" activity.

A large amount of land from Irish landlords was confiscated and became the land of the British king.

Then the landlords were allowed to go, and the land in Northern Ireland was contracted to big businessmen and big landlords.

Each big landlord and big businessman could contract 3,000 acres.

Given that the population of Britain was sparse at that time, what was lacking was labor rather than land, so each landlord who contracted plantations in Northern Ireland and Ulster needed to accommodate at least 48 English or Scottish tenants who believed in Protestantism and were loyal to the king.

A large number of Irish people were stripped of their land and were not even qualified to be tenants.

And developing plantations in Northern Ireland requires money. Planting wheat is also called a plantation, not just sugarcane and cotton.

With the development of North America, after the Virginia Company went bankrupt for growing grain and tobacco began to make money, North American colonization became profitable.

Capital has legs.

Is it investing in North America to grow tobacco?

Or investing in Northern Ireland to grow wheat?

And the English and Scots also have legs.

They are also facing recruitment.

Is it going to Northern Ireland and Ulster, which are even colder than the fucking UK?

Or to North America?

Therefore, those big landlords and big businessmen who got the land must hope that the UK will lift the ban: the original ban was to prohibit Irish people from being tenants.

Now, the Irish are not allowed to be tenants, and those who can be tenants have all gone to North America. I spent a lot of money to get land in Ulster and Northern Ireland. Do I have to farm it myself?

Without tenants, the landlords eat shit?

Without plantation slaves, the plantation owners eat shit?

There is no other way. Whoever is the ruling class has the final say. Then the only way is to relax the restrictions on tenants in Northern Ireland and allow the Irish to be tenants.

Obviously, after this relaxation, the number of Irish in Northern Ireland began to recover; the number of Scottish and English in Northern Ireland decreased.

So, as you can imagine, resistance began.

Resist, be killed.

Be killed, and continue to resist.

Wave after wave, in the end, Northern Ireland was completely enslaved, while Southern Ireland withstood, which laid the foundation for the future differences and divisions between the north and the south of Ireland.

Similarly, because a large number of Scots entered the Ulster plantation before and intermarried with the Irish, the Scottish-Irish system was created.

As we all know, starting in 1714, the Sturt family in Scotland was wiped out, and the Protestant family of Hanover came to power.

These Scottish-Irish people were once again unwelcome.

If the second- and third-class people really can’t survive, they can continue to run to North America.

He didn’t run away until 1714. To put it bluntly, he couldn’t keep up with the heat even if he ate shit.

In 1714, a large number of landowners, businessmen, land speculators, and a group of people who went first had already privately owned and occupied all the land in the thirteen states on the east coast of North America.

Thus, the main forces of North America’s “rangers”, “frontiersmen” and “border frictions with Indians” were the so-called “Scottish horse thieves and Irish sheepherders”.

Including the group of people who were suppressed by 15,000 troops when Hamilton collected alcohol taxes and launched the first wave of heavy blows after the founding of the Thirteen States. They were actually this group of people.

To put it simply, they were tenants in Ireland who had their land taken away from them, or were forcibly moved there, and their land was taken away.

After the merger of Scotland and England, they became third-class people again, which was basically equivalent to the political status of "not eligible for imperial examination" in Dashun.

After switching to the royal family, things got even worse and I had no choice but to go to North America.

When I ran to North America, I found that all the good places were occupied and privately owned. I had no choice but to continue running to the border.

It was this group of people who were most willing to come after the Acadians were expelled. Because as long as there is a hundred acres of land on the east coast, who is willing to abandon their family and business and run to a bitter and cold place?

Brother Xun's words really fit when applied to them: mourn their misfortune, anger them for not fighting, and the coward will draw a knife against the weaker one.

For example, the Paxton boys in Pennsylvania, they were basically these Scots-Irish, who were actually the Protestant Irish after the successful enslavement policy.

The Indians really lived in peace with them in Pennsylvania, but the war was going on more than a thousand miles away, and it had nothing to do with Pennsylvania.

These Paxton boys took advantage of the New Year's Eve to massacre the Indian village, saying they wanted to "prepare for a rainy day, in case these Indians resist in the future"?

The people in Pennsylvania wanted to kill them, because there were many Indian tribes in Pennsylvania, and the Quakers and the Indians had signed a treaty not to massacre each other.

This group of Paxton boys organized an army and rushed to Philadelphia to demand land.

The result was that Fela was really unbearable. After being told nonsense about "private land is inviolable, land enclosures are legal and reasonable, and you should not violate the law and eternal justice", she gave up, gave up, and was persuaded.

One thing to say, if we really want to talk about national character and cultural heritage, the farmers in North America are really cowardly. They have completely different fighting capabilities than the farmers in the Eastern Empire.

Now the farmers, the frontiersmen, the later rednecks, this boy, that boy, this guardian, that oath-keeper, they are really from the same origin.

Bullying the weak, everyone whining and chattering, is very brave. Skinning an Indian, beating a black slave, tarring and feathering a mulatto, he was good at it.

When it came time to meet the real chapter, when he had to do big things and face a truly powerful enemy, Fela couldn't bear it.

During the Newburgh Mutiny, it was damn sure that military pay would not be paid, the agreed-upon retirement pension would not be paid, and the agreed-upon compensation for confiscating land from landlords would not be available. How could this not be a direct mutiny, a mutiny, and it actually broke up?

Xie Si's uprising had already annexed land to such an extent that when they saw the officers and soldiers leaving, they knelt down without even fighting. Even Song Jiang knew that he had to kill people and set fire to him before he could be recruited. How could the officers and soldiers just kneel down without a fight as soon as they arrived?

The Whiskey Tax Uprising was so powerful that it had already united counties and states. When the regular army arrived, they sacrificed their leaders before they could fight.

The red-necked tradition of this boy and that boy was so unbearable that it was passed down to the Capitol Hill incident. They even rushed into the Capitol Hill, but they were still timid.

Therefore, these people just lack education.

This is a disease and must be cured.

How to treat it?

Let the enemies outside the frontier be more terrifying than landlords and land speculators, more terrifying than nobles, kings and big land hoarders, and they will know who to fight.

This is called "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."

The enemy is still the Acadians.

However, the real "terrible" does not rely on personal bravery, personal courage, and personal belief in revenge to fight alone.

The real "terrible" relies on discipline, formation, unity, and listening to commands.

Of course, this is strategically terrible.

In terms of realistic perception, the revenge massacre in the Annapolis Valley undoubtedly laid a foundation for this strategic horror.

Although Liu Yu told the Acadians in a French song, "You must know how to fight! Forgive those miserable people. Let the real enemies regret picking up swords and guns."

They sang, but obviously there was still a long way to go before they truly understood this sentence.

It's okay to kill anyway, so don't waste the matter.

The people sent to Canada from Dashun may not think so much.

However, Dashun had just burned down the town in Gibraltar with the Diamond Sky Monkey, and after capturing the British soldiers who had experienced fear, he sent them back out of "benevolence and righteousness".

The effect is remarkable, and there is no "same enemy" sentiment in the UK - how can it be possible to build an army that is filled with resentment from the North American laborers who have bought the official system, owned by the regiment leader, recruited thieves to join the army, drafted drunkards into the army, and have poor soldiers carrying labor in North America? There is such a high-level thing as "same hatred and hatred" - but it has produced extremely serious fear of war, especially fear of defensive war.

The people sent by Dashun to Canada had all experienced the Battle of Gibraltar, and the commander Chen Qinghai was the direct person in charge of sending prisoners of war to London for intimidation.

Therefore, Dashun acted like a good guy: those who witnessed the revenge in Annapolis Valley should not be killed, but sent back to help spread the word, which would also help "make them regret taking up the sword and gun."
