Chapter 1101: The Attitude of the British People

Aurangzeb's plan to take advantage of the Persians has failed.
These are all inevitable trends, and Chongzhen will not only neglect to investigate these matters in detail but even encourage them to do so.
It is best not to centralize power in the South Asian subcontinent; in fact, it would be ideal to fragment it into countless small countries.
In late November, Chongzhen arrived in the capital of the Mughal Empire, Agra.
Zheng Chenggong also arrived in Agra.
On a sunny afternoon, Chongzhen met Zheng Chenggong once again.
"Your Majesty!"
“你小子，长这么壮了！”
这一年的郑成功已经24岁了，已经是一个身姿挺拔，成熟稳住的青年。
在南洋的几年军旅生涯，磨炼了他少年的锐气，变得更加成熟、坚毅、稳重。
“臣在南洋无时无刻不在想念陛下！”
“朕也很想念你！”
一边的朱彦霖笑道：“小官人，你还记得我吗？”
郑成功仔细看了几眼，这才认出来：“你是二公主！”
The saying goes, "A woman changes drastically when she turns eighteen." When Zheng Chenggong first went to see Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Yanlin would often come to see him and have a few chats with Zheng.
They were quite familiar with each other.
At that time, Zhu Yanlin referred to Zheng Chenggong as "Little Official".
"The little official has gotten tanned!"
Zheng Chenggong chuckled and said, "Princess, you have grown up, and I almost didn't recognize you."
After a moment's pause, he added, "You look even more beautiful!"
Zhu Yanlin chuckled, teasing, "You smooth-talker!"
"Alright, enough of that. You two can chat privately later. I need to discuss serious matters."
"Successful, how has Lion Island been governed?"
"In response to Your Majesty, we have currently established stable trade, with a circulation of 100,000 taels of silver banknotes among the people. People from the Western Yi region also make a stop at Lion Island when traveling to the East."
“你觉得，大明的海军还能再西进吗？”
“回禀陛下，臣在9月底的时候，刚见过婆林日国（英国）的使者，是一位叫弗朗西斯的西夷人，他代表了一位叫克伦威尔的人，来出使大明。”
克伦威尔！
当穿越者听到这个名字的时候，心头一动。
“弗朗西斯跟你说了什么？”
“他说，杀害明使的凶手，已经成为婆林日国的通缉犯，他们会解雇、逮捕所有参与者，并对他们执行死刑，没收全部家产，希望通过这样的方式，来平息陛下的怒火，他们愿意继续与大明合作，并且帮助大明在欧罗巴，建立关于银钞的未来。”
说到建立银钞的未来，崇祯才总算没有多说什么了。
客观来说，无论是南洋，还是印度，或者去打沙俄，真实的目的都是要推行银钞。
To establish a grand economic belt by means of silver and banknotes, closely connecting the economy of the Great Ming with the Eurasian continent, and constructing a new world of trade.
The Great Ming is the center of this trade world.
After entering the industrial age, globalization becomes an inevitable trend.
The defining feature of the industrial age civilization is undoubtedly the strong civilization center.
The tangible manifestation of a strong civilization is financial dominance.
就像后世的美帝，你看到的是他到处打仗，但其实他到处打仗是为美元霸权服务。
坐拥美元霸权，美帝资本家可以随意割全世界韭菜，韭菜们连讨价还价的余地都没有。
In 21st century China, it is a miracle that no one ever anticipated the rapid rise of China and the initiation of the "one mountain, one water" strategy.
Why did the US initiate a trade war?
“一山一水”战略的成效威胁到美元霸权了。
所以啊，作为一名21世纪的穿越者，在这个世界，掌握了最强大的国家，手中有最好的资源，如果不拼尽全力推行金融全球中心战略，那真的就是个失败的穿越者。
英国人是真的怕了。
他们当然怕，只要大明把他们的贸易线一掐断，议会的老爷们分分钟哭爹喊娘。
资本家为了钱，可以挑战人间一切规则。
Without absolute strength, capitalists can adopt a humble attitude, even bending down to the dust, when facing overwhelmingly powerful opponents, as long as they can make money.
而且英国国内保王党势力依然存在，阶级矛盾激烈，克伦威尔军费开支庞大。
法国人又在三十年战争中取得了前所未有的战果，在欧洲大陆崛起已然成为必然。
Although the Dutch East India Company was crippled, the trade routes were smoothly reconstructed because the Dutch sent a beautiful woman to the Ming Dynasty.
The British, although they defeated Spain, found themselves in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies.
克伦威尔这种级别的政治大佬，不可能不知道大明朝对他的重要性。
所以，这件事，崇祯可以先暂时不追究。
也只是暂时不追究，意思就是，看你们推行银钞的表现。
If you perform well, We might forget about this matter entirely.
But if you perform poorly, We can bring it up anytime and use internal PR strategies within the Great Ming to instantly incite a lingering hatred towards your country, England, making it unforgivable even for your ancestors.
加上现在莫卧儿的资源并入，接下来的大明在工业生产原料上，会出现一个喷井。
收下南洋之前的大明，只能说是工业革命初期，这个时候，商业还是在国内，银钞还只是在内部流通。
收下南洋后的大明，是工业革命的开拓期，这个时候的商业，已经大力出海，银钞开始在南洋流通。
打掉莫卧儿，开采莫卧儿资源后，工业革命将会进入一个飞速的崛起期。
Because no matter from the perspective of raw materials or port locations, this is a leap forward.
"Do you think the imperial navy needs to expand westward?"
"I think it is necessary!"
"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
"Although the Western barbarians are currently cooperating with our dynasty, it is only because they need us. Once their military and science advance, they will become a threat to us. Therefore, I believe the court must establish a stable military port in a location close to the Western barbarians to be prepared for any changes."
Chongzhen fell into deep thought.
In early December, Chongzhen returned with his imperial entourage.
He did not linger in the Mughal Empire but appointed Hong Chengchou as the viceroy of India, providing him with 50,000 soldiers and horses.
其余的几乎全部都跟随皇帝一路折返。
这种安排，对于洪承畴这种野心家来说，简直是他做梦都想要得到的。
