"History is a pseudo-mother who can be dressed up!" Boss Wu chewed and reminisced about this golden sentence repeatedly, and felt more and more praised, saying: "Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, and judging by common sense, many ancient mysteries seem to be solved." For example, it is said that Song Taizu was usurped by his younger brother 'Candle Shadow Axe', with Boss Wang's method, it is almost certain that Song Guangyi hacked his brother to death, because no one will willingly pass on his throne to his younger brother, which is not in accordance with the rules! ”

Boss Wang praised: "Boss Wu's learning speed is really fast, it's not like the cranial neural circuit no longer evolves." Indeed, I firmly believe that Song Taizong is not a thing, the same as Tang Taizong. Looking at some historical facts closely, it is even more certain, the official history does not say how Zhao Kuangyin died, only says, 'The emperor collapsed in the Hall of Long Live'.

It's a strange death. According to expert research, the night before Taizu GG, Zhao Guangyi's cronies were connected everywhere and predicted that there would be a serious change. After ascending the throne, Zhao Guangyi exiled his younger brother, and Taizu's crown prince was forced to die, which is obviously a typical feature of conspiracy to usurp the throne, and he also proclaimed everywhere what his mother said, asking his brother to pass on the throne to himself, in order to avoid the tragedy of orphans and widows.

This is the so-called 'Golden Alliance'. Later, historians verified that Zhao Kuangyin was only 34 years old when his mother died, and the prince was 11 years old, how could there be a tragedy of orphans and widows? It's not a good lie, it's just that Zhao Guangyi began to prepare for rebellion very early, and firmly controlled the military and political power, this buddy has taken over the country of Hou Zhou with his brother since he was a child, and he is no worse than his brother in terms of intrigue and trickery.

Zhao Kuangyin was the first Ming monarch in Chinese history, creating the prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty and the most civilized dynasty in China. I have my own thoughts, but he still deserves it, if he is not a conspiracy to usurp power, how can his brother do the same? ”

Boss Wu: "It seems that if you are given the opportunity to cross, you will also go to the Song Dynasty?" ”

Boss Wang: "It doesn't matter which dynasty it is, it will rebel anyway." ”

Boss Wu: "Haha! The ambition is not small, what are you going to bring back to rebel? ”

Boss Wang smiled and tapped his skull with his index finger: "It's okay to take this thing with you, with modern scientific knowledge, as long as the strategy is right, rebellion is not a trivial matter?" The focus is not on what dynasty, but on what place, and I will choose Taiwan as a base. The most powerful pirate in Chinese history is Zheng Zhilong, who is entrenched in Taiwan, and is an example for me to follow.

Of course, before you can become a pirate, you have to make a fortune. This can learn from the Dutch. Eh, do you know how the Netherlands became a coachman at sea? ”

Boss Wu: "I've always been curious about this, Spain and Portugal discovered the New World and found an inexhaustible supply of silver in the Andes, how did the Netherlands get rich?" And I heard that it was the Dutch who first established the East India Company and invented the stock market. It's a mystery. ”

Boss Wang: "Have you ever watched "The Rise of a Great Power" filmed by CCAV? There is a mention of the Netherlands in it. ”

Boss Wu: "I've seen it, but I forgot it...... Ahem, look at my memory! ”

Boss Wang laughed: "It's not because you have a bad memory, because CCAV didn't get to the point at all." CCTV gave an example, a Dutch captain would rather starve to death than open the customer's box after getting lost, which shows that the Dutch pay special attention to goodwill. Well, this is just one of them, European countries are deeply influenced by the Mediterranean commercial civilization, and many countries believe in the spirit of contract, why can the Netherlands stand out?

There is one thing you have already mentioned inadvertently - Portugal and Spain were the first to get richer, and the Dutch were the first to enjoy the redistribution of their wealth. Look at the geographical location of the Netherlands, which is just in the middle of the three great powers of the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks, hostile to Christianity, and the land Silk Road was blocked. The Portuguese traveled south along the west coast of Africa, discovered the Cape of Good Hope, and opened a new route to the Far East. At this time, one of the most important international trades was Indian spices.

Probably because the smell of meat is too strong, Europeans are obsessed with adding peppercorns to food, and this thing is not like salt, which can be produced in many places. The Portuguese chose Antwerp, the Netherlands, between Britain, France and Germany, as a transit port. This was the first pot of gold that the Dutch earned.

This was a remarkable pot of gold, and the spice trade turned Antwerp into the largest trading port in Europe at the time. Of course, just relying on the favor of the Portuguese, after all, you are a second-class dealer, no matter how rich you are, you can't surpass Portugal, right? But this first pot of gold has already given the Netherlands the opportunity to develop further.

Maritime trade has led to the development of the shipbuilding industry in the Netherlands, which is a heavy industry with a strong demand for labor, and the Netherlands is a small country, so their shipbuilding industry has no advantages. CCTV said the Dutch built cheaper and faster merchant ships, but did not say how the Dutch did it.

The answer lies in four words: Dutch windmills. Not only is the Netherlands located between Britain, France and Germany, but it is also very windy all year round, a long, long time ago, about the 12th century, the Great Voyage was about 1500 years ago, you see, just a few hundred years ago, the Dutch windmills were popular.

Or because of the geographical location, the Netherlands is a low-lying country, and they need to constantly build dikes, otherwise the land will be submerged. Even so, it was often flooded, so some people invented windmills to drain water. This has been done for hundreds of years, and the Dutch windmill has been quite mature.

What should I do if there is a lack of labor in the shipbuilding industry? Using windmills to process wood, this is a golden idea that Dutch boatmen came up with, without a perfect windmill industry, others simply cannot copy, even Dutch mathematicians have improved windmills, mainly using prime gears to ensure that every tooth will be evenly rubbed.

At its peak, a Dutch windmill could reach 50 horsepower. 50 horses working for you day and night without money, this is the zero industrial revolution, the industrial revolution that predates Watt's improvement of the steam engine. A windmill can top dozens of strong men, and this efficiency naturally lowers the price of shipbuilding.

As for CCTV's statement that the Dutchman's ship is particularly fast, there is also a reason. There are two, one is high machining accuracy. You think, everything is machine-processed, it must be exactly the same finished product, and it is not easy to think differently. And their mathematical optimization of the gears made it possible to rotate the windmill with minimal noise, proving the progress of the Dutch in engineering.

Another reason is that the Netherlands is windy all year round, and they even invented LandSailing, which is a land windsurfing vehicle. Land transportation vehicles larger than horse-drawn carriages can be carried out efficiently and cheaply. Quite a study of sails. All these factors add up, and the shipbuilding industry in the Netherlands is second to none, and others can't learn it because the wind is not enough.

At the height of the sea's coachmen, half of the world's shipping vessels flew the Dutch flag. After I crossed, I learned from the Dutch man-made windmill, became a shipbuilding tycoon, and then dominated Taiwan, which was still a place where birds did not in ancient times, and it was not difficult to dominate. When that's done, I can become the king of the pirates and collect protection money from the governors of the southeastern coastal provinces.

If any governor can't open his eyes and don't respect my old man, I will send 'Japanese robbers' to rob homes and houses, making other people's lives miserable. ”

Boss Wu had to give a thumbs up: "Grandma, it's really cool, I want to partner with you to be One Piece." Of course, it mainly answers my doubts about how the Netherlands became a coachman at sea. Boss Wang is literate and admired. Rebellion still needs weapons, can't you just have ships, then it's time to build cannons, right? ”

Boss Wang: "It depends on the situation, if you travel back to the years when cannons have been invented, then of course you have to build cannons, if not, you can crush the Quartet with cold weapons." As for how the Qin State was so powerful that it overwhelmed the others, the view of Chinese historians is that the first emperor was a martial artist, and I have never believed that there was too much gap between the Ming monarch and the famous general.

The Qin State has Shang Ying's reforms, and the Six Kingdoms also have changes, Shang Yang is a Legalist, Wu Qi is also a Legalist, and Shang Ying's changes are still learned from Wu Qi's set of changes in Chu. Qin is a good division of tigers and wolves, but the soldiers of the six countries are not bad, and in the face of life and death, the six countries can also learn from the reward and punishment system of the Qin country.

Personally, I don't really believe in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and this Sun Tzu knows how to cheat and deceive. I'm not saying that you shouldn't use deception in war, but relying on this kind of trick is always crooked. The story of the Byzantine generals just now has shown that there is not only one general when fighting, and the various commanders are uneven, and relying on 'trickery' will cause problems.

The duel between two samurai can rely on a lot of trickery and feints. The battle of the army depends on the strength. Western sinologists have come up with an interesting view that Qin Shi Huang's army invented the crossbow, the pinnacle of the Iron Age. ”

Boss Wu: "Oh? It's kind of interesting, can't the Six Kingdoms learn this? Wouldn't it be nice to take it back after the war? ”

Boss Wang: "Well, you can learn to make zuò, but you can't learn to make it on a large scale." That's why Ford's Model T is 10 times cheaper than its rivals, because Ford invented assembly line production. Sinologists Tong Guò studied the large-scale appearance of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and believed that the Qin State had mastered not only the invention of crossbows, but also the technology of large-scale industrial production. The craftsmen work together to make a lot of spicy and delicate terracotta warriors.

The craftsmen of the Six Kingdoms had no choice but to lose their shape, and the weapons they picked up thought they had obtained the secret of the Qin army's strength, but they were laborious to manufacture. Our orthodox historians focus only on the reasons of the literati, and think that technology is a trick and a trick, and they don't want to think in that direction, which is the opposite of Western values. The Technocracy Party is king.

What do you see Qin Shi Huang did after he swept away the Six Kingdoms? Uniform weights and measures. This is the essential foundation for typical mass production. He also did an important thing, the so-called: collect the soldiers of the world, gather the Xianyang, sell the Fengdi, cast the twelve golden people, and weaken the people of the world. The technology of mass production of strong crossbows must be kept strictly secret.

The reason why Emperor Wu of the later Han Dynasty was able to commit a strong man should be punished even if he was far away, it should be with the help of a crossbow, so Wei Qinghuo was sick in order to crush the horseback ethnic group Huns, and he couldn't run. Later, this technology was lost. In turn, it was crushed by nomads. We invented the assembly line 1,000 years before Ford.

Let's go back, as long as we use this craft, the crossbowmen of the water, the officers and soldiers who shoot crying and calling their mothers, no one dares not to pay the protection fee, and the big thing can be done. ”

Boss Wu laughed: "Happy! Damn, why do I feel the urge to have a drink when I hear such an unreliable time-traveling story? ”

Boss Wang smiled and said, "Every man has a dream of becoming a success." ”
