Why does Old English have to do with German?

In fact, this matter has something to do with us Chinese!

To put it simply, it was the 'whip of God' Attila of the Huns, whose westward expedition led the westward migration of the Germanic peoples, and some of the Germanic people arrived on that island, which was actually the first conquest of the island of England. In this way, the German language was naturally brought to the island.

So, can this matter have nothing to do with us Chinese?

Middle English is related to French, and this is actually a conquest, that is, the 'Norman Conquest'.

Norman?

Yes, in fact, it was that Normandy, where did it start, and then conquered that island, and then the Plantagenet dynasty came like this, and the second monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, Richard the Lionheart, was himself the Duke of Normandy, and had a large part of the French land, so we can see that many English words are the same as French words.

Li Mengyang knew about this, because the British always bragged about it, they always said that the British Isles had never been conquered!

Just blow it.

Now if you want to translate a German book, who can Li Mengyang find?

There was no other choice, and besides, Li Mengyang remembered, it seemed that Richard I's mother was called Eleanor, which ...... It's really a coincidence.

In addition, this little girl also likes Engels's works very much, no way, she follows Li Mengyang all day long, and it's strange if she doesn't like it, so she doesn't volunteer this time?

"Eleanor, my little elf, you are one of the most learned of any girl I have ever met."

"Sir, you're too much of a prize!"

Engels was close to forty years old at this time, and looked at Eleanor as if he were his niece.

"However, I feel that you are a little unhappy, do you like Mr. Clint Lee?"

"How can I!"

This time, it can be regarded as a hit heart. Engels is all from here, and he can't see this?

"Hey, it's good to be young."

"Not at all!" Eleanor vehemently denied, "He's a guy who likes men!" ”

The reason for this...... Engels was a little crying and laughing, "I think this is just a rumor, I don't think Mr. Clint is that kind of person." ”

"Huh?"

Is this true? Eleanor couldn't believe it, didn't dare to ......

Fast forward to 1859, when a book appeared in the bookstores of the eastern part of the United States, and the name of the book had appeared in the New York Evening News many times before, and the book was naturally "The Condition of the Working Class in Britain".

In the "New York Evening News", there is not only a brief introduction to the book, but also comments from a number of well-known European scholars and American scholars, which can be said to help endorse the book.

However, in order to allow the broader American people to read this book, the elaborate work of the great mentor should be like this, so Li Mengyang, the publisher, he is very, very conscientious, and set the price of this book very low, basically just to ensure the cost, and earn another two cents Cheng dù.

So what else is there to say about such a book as soon as it is released?

Luoyang paper is expensive again, the streets and alleys are selling this book, even those who usually sell vegetables and fruits, they all carry one or two copies to sell, and rush to ask for it!

Li Mengyang's low-profit methods can really be said to have allowed the American people to accept a spiritual baptism of communist masterpieces.

If you want to talk about communist writings, in fact, there are still many channels that can be seen in the United States at this time, and they are still open now, without any problems, such as the "New York Tribune", which often has them, and the other is that Li Mengyang didn't ask Matthew to have something to do with Victoria before? That Victoria and her sister Tennessee, they had also run a newspaper before, and they had published the Communist Manifesto.

In addition, the reason why it sells so well is that there is actually another background, which Li Mengyang didn't know before, that is, unemployment in the United States at this time is very strict, and the wages of workers are very, very low!

This has something to do with the fact that in 1858, Britain had just experienced an economic crisis, and it has not yet recovered.

So, Li Mengyang, this time, this popularity is unprecedented, a large number of poor people can buy this book, of course, Americans at this time also have a large number of illiterates, so this problem ......

"Workers! I'm not a person who doesn't make any big senses! But do you all know what American society is like now? How many dollars do we workers get every month? But how much do they take for those capitalists who are full of brains and sit in comfortable leather seats? God bears witness! I'm afraid my monthly salary is not as good as a lunch for them! ”

"The condition of the British workers is very similar to the condition of our American workers! No, we are actually not as good as the British workers, you know, the time of this book is more than ten years ago, you look at your own life, are we now compared to the British workers more than ten years ago? ”

"Workers! Friends! We must support abolition! Slavery must be abolished! Those aristocratic lords, they own slaves! It's something that God doesn't even allow! …… Why do we workers have to abolish slavery? Because slaves are not paid! Although most of the slaves worked in the cotton fields! But we've all had the experience of being robbed of our jobs by slaves, right? …… But we can't blame the black slaves! God has determined that they are not born slaves! It's those slave owners! Noble lord! It was they who turned people into slaves! ”

At the time of the book's big selling, there were factories and workers' groups where there were some very rough speeches and gatherings, which were not comparable to the politicians, but there were many people who listened.

These rallies were not many at first, but gradually, as the majority of workers liked them, there were more and more of them, and one of the peculiarities of these rallies was that most of the speakers were Irish.

You know, this is an extremely rare phenomenon, because the Irish and the blacks, that is incompatible, for the same reason as the exclusion of Chinese workers, that is, the Irish in the east are excluded by the blacks.

And now, although there are not many of them, have they changed sex?

Does this matter have anything to do with Li Mengyang?

Let's just say that they are the Irish in Li Mengyang's international column!

Yes, originally these Irish people were all big and coarse, and they were all uneducated, and if you want to say that you are a good hand at robbing houses, you have to say these things...... At this time, it is still called a social problem, and Li Mengyang also considers this difficulty.

You owe me money, so no matter what, you have to practice these things well, at least don't act like a hooligan when you talk about it, right?

It was very uncomfortable to be held by someone else, so before the book "The Condition of the British Working Class" was launched, in the backyard of the "New York Evening News", there were a large number of people there to practice their mouths, and the speeches were all written by Li Mengyang.

To be honest, Li Mengyang also understands that the gangsterism in these guys is already very strong, and some of them are really not easy to blend into the ranks of the working class, and many of them don't even want to go to the workers' homes.

However, this is the seed, this is the spark, maybe it is still very few, very small, but if you cast them, there will always be some reward!

Li Mengyang firmly believed in this, and after this book of Engels was put on the shelves, there were workers' rally, and many people became interested in the doctrine of communism, and then, our New York Evening News, began to serialize the latest works of the great writer, Clint Lee.

The Condition of the American Working Class!

"I never knew that the living conditions of Chinese workers were so bad. All the while, we felt like they were just a bunch of dirty, uncivilized, white-robbing guys of their jobs. But now, I feel like we're going to speak for them! They are a bunch of people who are even more miserable than black slaves! ”

The person who spoke out so loudly was the very famous Thoreau, in fact, Thoreau's literary achievements are more familiar to us Chinese, but in fact, he was also a utopian socialist and abolitionist.

"But I don't think we can take those heretics for granted! They are infidels! It will be judged by God in the end! ”

It was Hawthorne who said this, and this guy seemed to always think about things with God first.

Well, this is absolutely true in the United States, Li Mengyang didn't know this before, and it wasn't until he came to the east and saw all the Puritans that he realized the power of religion in the United States.

But in any case, what happened to the Chinese workers, and the reasons behind it, were explained by Li Mengyang, and most importantly, he revealed the ultimate beneficiary of the situation of mutual exclusion of workers, that is, the capitalists.

This is very crucial, because workers often can't see this, what they can see is their own personal experience, for example, when Chinese workers come, their jobs will be lost, but the problem is that even if Chinese workers don't come, then they actually have a great chance of losing their jobs, and their treatment will not increase.

However, there are still relatively few Chinese workers in the east, too few compared to the central and western regions, but it is not a monolithic working class here, and there are also things that crowd each other out here.

Irish, black slaves...... These groups are the ones with low wages, they are the 'Chinese workers' in the east, they are the objects of exclusion, and they are also excluded from each other.

As a result, Clint Lee's article was naturally extended to them, and even the Irish, as well as some low-class ethnic groups, regarded Clint Lee's article as the 'Bible'!

At the same time, the abolitionists also attach great importance to this great writer of Chinese descent and clearly support the abolition of slavery, and this Chinese is now so famous, is it not respected?

So, in the United States in 1859, there were two hottest topics, one was the abolition of slavery, which was a constant hot topic, and the other was the workers, the proletariat, and the communist doctrine......

Clint Lee's name is already on par with Engels and Marx in the United States!

Li Mengyang used the powerful propaganda platform in his hands and a series of advanced means to let the Americans withstand an unprecedented communist storm!
