Chapter 307: Trade expansion model

In the last life, when Marin was in college, he once listened to a history professor and explained in detail the process of British and French colonization of North America.

First of all, let ’s talk about Britain. British colonial means, in the words of the professor, is "cutting down trees". In the colonies of thirteen states in North America, British colonists chopped down trees and opened up farmland, and finally established a North American colony.

However, the British have undergone tremendous changes in their attitude towards Indians ...

As early as 1609 when the British established the first colony in Jamestown in the Virginia area, the British attitude towards Native Americans was extremely tough. They regarded Native Americans as uncivilized barbaric animals and implemented a policy of plunder and slaughter.

However, this provoked a strong counterattack by the Indians. Then, Jamestown was besieged by the Indians for a long time. In the end, Jamestown broke the grain, and there was a tragedy of cannibalism. If it were not the Indians who did not know how to conquer the castle, perhaps the colonists of Jamestown had already been killed by the Indians.

Ten years later, on the northern coast of Massachusetts, an immigrant ship called Mayflower arrived in America. However, unlike the colonists in Jamestown, they are mostly poor and puritans, and of course there are criminals.

This group of people was very honest at the beginning, lived in harmony with the Indians, and passed the most difficult foothold stage. Even with the help of the Indians, they created the custom of eating turkey on Thanksgiving.

However, when the white people here stood firm, they quickly expelled and slaughtered the Indians. While driving the Indians who had helped them into the forest, they waved the logging axe, felled the forest, and expanded the site. Finally, on the east coast of North America, a huge site was laid.

Later, the British applied this method. When they landed in other parts of North America, if they were weak at the beginning, they pretended to be grandchildren and the Indians and lived in peace. Once they had a firm foothold, they began to turn their faces.

By this means, the British gradually controlled 13 coastal states in North America and became the most successful colonial force in North America ...

...

The French seem to be different from the British, and the expansion model they adopt is a trade model. In other words, complete the expansion with the trade model.

The specific method is to organize a large number of fur traders to go deep inland and trade **** skin and other leather with the Indians.

French merchants brought goods such as pots, iron axes, swords and glass beads, which were very popular with the Indians. However, these things are not valuable, but French merchants used them in exchange for expensive **** skins and other furs, and made a lot of profits.

In the later period, the French even started selling guns and gunpowder to the Indians, encouraging the Indians to fight each other.

After the Indians obtained the guns, because the guns were much more powerful than the soil bows and arrows, the Indians first used the guns to hunt animals. Soon, the animals of the tribes of Indians who had obtained guns were killed. Even if they survived, they were frightened and fled with huge gunshots.

As a last resort, these Indians began to invade other tribal sites to hunt animals to obtain fur. However, this obviously seriously violated the interests of other tribes. As a result, tribal war broke out ...

Indian tribes with guns obviously have a greater advantage. As a result, the tribe without guns defeated and fled, giving way to the site.

However, the defeated tribes are not fools, they will not be willing to fail. So they also bought guns. If the French do not sell them, they buy from the British or the Dutch. The British or the Dutch obviously want to use them to fight the French allies. So, both sides have guns ...

Next, the revenge of the defeated Indian tribe ...

Both sides fired each other with guns, causing huge casualties ...

Such plays are often staged in the North American jungle, year after year, day after day ...

In the inter-clan conflict, the Indians lost a lot of strong men. Many weak tribes also disappeared due to war ...

Moreover, in order to establish a good relationship with the Indian tribes, the French even let young employees marry the daughters of Indian chiefs to strengthen the ties with the Indian tribes.

But in fact, these young employees have wives and children in Europe. They married the Indian chief's daughter as a wife, but it was only a means to win over the Indian tribe.

At the same time, these young men with good temperament also need a female companion to vent their excess energy because their wife is not around. Moreover, these indigenous wives will become the best trade bridge between French and Indians.

Later, the children of these French youths and the daughters of local indigenous chiefs became a special ethnic group-the Metty.

It can be said that the French colonial means in North America are very clever. They attracted some local tribes, let them hunt animals for themselves, and obtain fur. These furs, when sold to Europe, can earn huge profits. In the early days, a **** skin, sold to Europe, can get 200 times super profits. Even in the later period, the profit is very high, and there can be tens of times less profit.

...

The professor believes that the French are smarter than the British. But in the end, the French lost in not having enough immigrants to occupy the Americas.

And why can the British surpass France in this respect and complete the occupation of 13 North American states?

The reason is very simple, because the Great Britain has engaged in a rodeo movement, which has produced tens of thousands of landless farmers. Except for a small part absorbed by the textile workshop, most of the rest have become migrants.

The refugees are the root cause of a country ’s unrest. The great Daming Empire was finally destroyed by the refugees in the north. Even in the early 1980s, the return of the educated youth to the city brought huge confusion to China at that time. To this end, Taizong had to sacrifice the "strike hard" move, killing a lot of gangsters, before stabilizing the society ...

The British are more cunning. Since there are so many domestic migrants, then, why don't we send them to the North American wasteland?

Then, the landless peasants, the Puritans, and the criminals, the three groups that were not seen in the UK and easily caused social conflicts, were sent to the east coast of North America by the British authorities to colonize the land.

Although, the British colonial methods are relatively rude, not as clever as the French. However, by virtue of the population, Leng has achieved much more brilliant achievements than the French.

Moreover, in the process of immigration, the British comers refused to accept not only their own immigrants, but also immigrants from other European countries. For example, German immigrants were accepted in large numbers, as well as Irish immigrants, French immigrants and Dutch immigrants. The large number of immigrants has also accelerated the development of North America.

However, in the long run, because the immigration component is too complex, immigrants are not strong enough to the British royal family. And this also laid the bane for the later North American Revolutionary War.

The French do not mean that they are not clever enough, but because the domestic stability of France ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ there are not so many migrants. Therefore, the French cannot produce as many migrants as the "enclosure movement" Britain. Therefore, the clever colonial methods of the French were crushed by the crude methods of the British piles ...

Since Marin knew these problems, he decided to take his own course based on the characteristics of Britain and France.

As for how to do it? In the early stage, it was natural to study France, engage in a mode of trade expansion, and use a group of indigenous Indian tribes to attack other tribes.

In addition, in addition to acquiring fur, Marin also intends to use the European goods that attract Indians to encourage the Indians to log and exchange for timber. For example, Marin needs a lot of oak, which can be exchanged with the Indians and let the Indians go to log themselves.

After the Indians felled a large number of trees by the sea, Marin gave them weapons to support their march inland to **** the territory of other tribes. The original seaside site became Marin's colony ...

At the same time, Marin will organize a large population of immigrants to North America in Germany to occupy these seaside colonies. Of course, it will also allow Bishop Taylor to send disciples who can foolish and "teach" these immigrants to be loyal to themselves, lest the colony become independent ...

In this way, in the long run, Marin will encourage the Indians to log and fight through trade, and then vacate the seaside land to complete the occupation of the coastal areas of North America. As for inland areas? Wait for the juniors to finish it. After all, he is not a god, and there are not so many immigrant populations, it is difficult to complete the occupation of all the land in North America at once. It ’s good to be able to occupy the coast and delineate the site first. The main thing is that the German population is only 12 million people. The America is so big. Even if all Germans are immigrated, they can only occupy the east coast of North America. Not to mention those inland sites ...
