18th century total war

Chapter 18 Trading
Martin Clive was overjoyed after hearing this.

Originally, when Joseph was here, the mayor of Charles Town was a marionette. The previous mayor was simply picked up by Joseph, and was cleaned together with Joseph... Oh no, he was killed by the rioting farmers!

Now there is a huge power vacuum in the town of Charles, and nothing can be seen by relying on military control. Once the military control is revoked, problems will immediately arise.

As a native of Charles Town, Martin is also the president of the local business guild. He has huge connections and resources. Once he becomes the town mayor, he will soon be able to fill the vacant positions in Charles Town and put Charles Town on the right track.

Of course, this also means that Martin can replace the original position of Joseph!

The premise is that the Charles family will not parachute an overlord-like chief.

Now, Li Wei, the direct heir of the Charles family, personally promised, what else does Martin need to worry about?

However, Martin knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

Westerners are not like Easterners, they talk in a twist and turn everywhere, and they have to push back and forth to appear courteous and humble. Here, if you refuse, it is a real rejection, and others will not ask more questions!
Simple and straightforward, it seems too blunt and blunt in the eyes of Orientals. Of course, Westerners also think that Orientals are hypocritical. It can only be said that the two sides have different national cultures and different understandings.

Martin knew that it was impossible for Levi to give him the position of mayor for no reason. The mayor of Charles town was different from other towns. This was the core of the Charles family and governed the entire Charles family territory. The town has long since become Charles City!

Of course, for the earl-level nobles, instead of spending time and energy on running the fief and being jealous of the monarch, it is better to go directly to the capital Paris to kneel and lick the king of France, and earn much more than running the territory!

Paris is the 'golden city' of the Kingdom of France!
Almost all the middle and upper nobles of the Kingdom of France lived in Paris and Versailles.

This is actually a restriction under the absolute monarchy.

"Now there are signs of civil strife in the Kingdom of France. In order to ensure the safety of the territory, I have to expand the army.

After the second phase of training is over, I will soon start the third phase of military expansion training, which is also 1000 people, but now that the Charles family’s territory has been ransacked by rebels, the warehouse can already run rats, and I really don’t have much money to buy a lot of them. Expansion of munitions and supplies.

Mr. Clive is also an old man in Charles Town. He serves as the mayor of the town and concurrently serves as the president of the commercial guild. He has a huge network in Charles Town. I hope you can help me solve the equipment problem of the third thousand-man line infantry . "

After hearing this, Martin took a deep breath involuntarily, this Levi really opened his mouth like a lion!

A thousand flintlock guns plus matching ammunition, this is the rhythm of emptying out your own inventory.

Or the kind that doesn't pay a copper!

However, the bait thrown by the other party was also very sweet. The mayor of Charles Town, who is fully in charge, is truly one person under ten thousand in the Charles family territory!
The total population of the Charles family territory definitely exceeds 1!
The most important thing is that I can still hug Li Wei's big thick leg tightly. The opponent has already trained 2000 troops, and another batch of training will be 3000!
Even though these 3000 people are recruits who have only been trained for a month...but their mental outlook is still good, and they don't know what kind of ecstasy was given to them by Li Wei, and they are loyal to Li Wei without asking for anything in return.

This means that Levi's big thick legs are very promising!
What's more, Livy was right. Although the Paris Revolution was victorious, the Constituent Assembly was either quarreling or fighting in groups all day long, and was even opposed to King Louis XVI.

You must know that in today's Constituent Assembly, the constitutional monarchy party controls the power, and King Louis XVI has a veto power!

The aristocratic class and the upper echelons of the church are busy snatching the fruits of the victory of the revolution, while the bourgeoisie are unwilling to hand it over. After the victory of the Great Revolution, the stomachs of the citizens of Paris are still growling with hunger. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that France is in danger now!

Not to mention, foreign forces headed by the United Kingdom were very dissatisfied with the Paris Revolution. They repeatedly demanded the restoration of the rights of King Louis XVI. It has become a semi-open secret how many times they have secretly contacted the Royalist Party.

During the Paris Revolution, the king's faction suffered a crushing defeat. Why did they still retain the lives and even power of Louis XVI's family?
It is because of the fear of foreign interference.

Today Europe is still dominated by the monarchy and feudal system. Even the most enlightened Britain has its own king. Now that France is revolutionizing the king, it is a provocation to the monarchy system in Europe!

The monarchs of various countries are not fools, how could they fail to see how contagious the revolution is!
Voltaire's gang became wanted criminals not because the ideas they spread were disliked by the monarchy and nobles.

However, the monarchs of European countries are also cruel and ruthless. They severely crack down on the spread of revolutionary ideas in their own countries, but they are quite tolerant of thinkers and philosophers in other countries. Overthrow the enemy's regime.

In this regard, the UK is undoubtedly the best, because in the eyes of thinkers from all over the world, the British constitutional monarchy system is much more enlightened than the monarchy systems of other European countries. In today's European revolutionary thinking, people who support the constitutional monarchy system far exceed those who support the republic The people of the presidential system.

If it weren't for the success of the American War of Independence, the so-called republicans would never have been born in various countries.

However, the victory of the American War of Independence was supported by the Kingdom of France. France was most seriously impacted by the American republic system. You must know that many French troops landed in North America to help the Americans fight the British. After returning to China, these people knew that the republic system was what's the matter.

Therefore, after the Paris Revolution, there have always been republican voices in the Constituent Assembly.

Martin pondered for a moment and said, "I can try to get a thousand flintlock guns and a hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun."

A gun with [-] rounds of ammunition seems to be quite a lot, but if you count the training consumption, it is very little!

Li Wei shook his head: "The equipment I'm talking about is not just firearms and ammunition, but everything that includes thousands of soldiers, and all the ammunition they have spent training for a month!"

Martin's face suddenly became embarrassed after hearing this. This meant that he had to bear the responsibility for the soldiers' uniform beds, kettles and other sundries, as well as training ammunition and food!
