The Age of Discovery was a feast for speculators, but also the end of the self-styled old powers, the end of the ancient country, Turkey completely stepped off the altar, Egypt and India fell successively, the legendary Western powers rose one after another, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Britain embarked on a journey to colonize the world.

In this process, China has always been an outlier.

He was not immediately colonized like the same ancient India, but he carried it for a long, long time, through the Portuguese nuisance, the Dutch invasion, and at the end of the Age of Discovery, when he was finally bombarded by the British.

The sleeping lion is a nice one, but the sick man of East Asia is the ugly one.

It can be said that slumber is an attitude, and the sick man is the result of this attitude.

To wake up, to be more sober than anyone else, to be healthy, to be stronger than anyone else, the first thing is to correct this attitude, let people see the world clearly, and explain the real rules of the game.

The first thing to make clear is that it is true that Francis is a robber, but it is not a robber like us, let alone a robber like a wolf, but a robber of global trade, who does not ransack your home, but eats your future.

As far as the South Seas are concerned, Portugal's heaviest efforts are in Malacca, which is once a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no profound idea of pinching the necessary place for the Eurasian route, just to monopolize the entire route.

There are tens of thousands of ships in the world, who doesn't know that the East is full of gold? Who doesn't know how many ships can sell goods?

But most people know that there is no way, because Malacca is in the hands of the Franco, they are far more greedy than Singapore, which collects tolls, and except for the designated people in their own country, the rest of the ships are smuggling.

The so-called designees, including but not limited to the royal relatives and religious heads, take Sagarus as an example, he himself has a title in Europe, and he is related to so-and-so.

In this way, Portugal controls the key hub ports of the route, controls the origin of important goods, and monopolizes the interests of the entire shipping route and the entire ocean.

By the way, they would preach the Gospel of God, suppress and even massacre the infidels, and this small country on the Villa Peninsula, with a population smaller than Zhejiang, became the axis of the world.

One thing to make clear to our subordinates is that we are indeed here to rob the Fran plane, but not in the conventional sense, we are here to take their place, liberate the shipping routes, ports and cities, and allow our ships to pass freely and safely. We have such force, we are the real invincible armada, why not do it?

Establish true order, rule the sea by force, take a cut of the caravans we protect, and make profits above board. We are no longer thieves, but navies, we are no longer the destroyers of order, but the makers and maintainers of order, the messengers of peace, our children and grandchildren can sit on the ground and collect money, no longer have to rob houses, why not do this?

Yang Changfan said for a long time, some people understood, some people didn't want to understand, and some people didn't understand a word.

It doesn't matter, slowly, you will understand, as long as there is a benefit, there will naturally be more supporters.

After a tirade, Boss Ma finally returned, and King Suleiman invited Yang Changfan ashore to meet and discuss matters in person. According to Boss Ma's observation, although the king was very resistant to the fact that other countries' fleets were swaying on his own territory, compared to the Zheng He, which respected their beliefs, the king was obviously more resistant to Franco, who was aggressing in the name of God.

But in any case, it is impossible to let the fleet dock like this, and we still have to talk about how to do it.

Yang Changfan was not afraid, so he landed with his cronies, the king could not and did not dare to have the slightest hostility, just because the first fleet of the Huiwang Mansion was an existence that could allow them to destroy the country. What's more, if you don't know me, you should always know Zheng He and Daming.

……

The capital Yan Mansion, Lao Yan, Yan Song, Da Yan, Yan Shifan have packed their bags and are ready to return to their hometown. It is naturally unwilling to go like this, and you must explain the rest of the matter.

So, they called Xiao Yan, Yan Hongqiu, the eldest son of Yan Shifan. Yan Hongqian is twenty-five years old, no matter how he looks, he is more like Yan Song, plus he gets together with his father less and more, and gets along with his grandfather day and night, so although he is in a rich and noble family, his personality is not so arrogant, and even his wife only has one room.

Jiajing abolished Yan Song and Yan Shifan without a word, but he never involved Yan Hongqian. Xiao Yan survived, he should have been low-key and messed up, but Yan Song fell, it doesn't mean that the Yan Party is gone, as long as the Yan Party is there, there must be a backbone, just like the Hui Wang's Mansion is in, there must be a Hui King, no matter if he is in Kyushu or Dongfan, as long as the surname Wang is fine.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of the party system is pressed on the shoulders of Yan Hongxi, the right attendant of the ministry.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together, and he was still in charge of the strict world, and in just a few days, he had planned everything properly.

The party fights for the heart, he dares to admit the second, and no one dares to admit the first.

But he has now confessed.

"Xu Jie, not under me." Yan Shifan no longer had singers and wine around him this time, and his expression showed a solemnity and seriousness that he had never seen before. He had gone through too many winds and waves, and each time he had only a little trick to calm down, and whatever he was the governor of Shangshu, I should enjoy and drink, and he thought for a time that he was not afraid of anyone except the moody fairy.

But this time he was really paralyzed, a man who lived more groveling than his own Shiba Inu, brewing the whole thing.

After the incident, Yan Shifan operated in all directions, peeling back the cocoon, and putting things apart layer by layer.

To engage yourself is the idea of the gods.

Who invited the immortals? It's a blue road.

So go on, who invited Lan Daoxing?

After inquiring, looking through the classics, and visiting the old ministers, it was finally determined that a person named He Xinyin was introduced to the palace a long time ago.

Who is He Xinyin? Xinxue **** Taidou, the successor of the Taizhou school, the left to burn the Confucian Temple, known as He Mad. Such a person will naturally not be subject to the imperial examination, on the contrary, he even forms a party to the death, which is of course not allowed, and he should be imprisoned, and this person has been imprisoned more than once, but every time someone has bailed him out, but it is over, and he still has a considerable status within the study of mind. That's it, he survived strongly, and the more he lived, the better he lived, the more he lived, the more he lived,

Such a leftist person can't wait to cut down the emperor, let alone a first assistant.

So who was the last time to keep him out, give him food and let him mess around in Beijing?

Xu Jie.

On the other hand, Zou Yinglong, who personally exercised the impeachment of the heavy responsibility, studied the Jiangyou school in his heart.

Xu Jie, the Jiangyou School of Mental Learning.

The deep pit of Xinxue can't be dug up, and once you dig it, it's endless, and if it goes deep, Yan Shifan has enough means to dig it to this point.

He finally realized that he had always underestimated the so-called Xinxue and Xu Jie.

"Hongqiu." Yan Shifan stared at his son, "This time, we want to return the other." ”

"They have immortals, and we can have them too."

"Their gods speak human words, and ours will also speak."

"We never lost a fight."

"Fighting with God is nothing more than that."

"List the charges to arrest He Xinyin, and gather the power of the ministers to impeach Lan Daoxing. After these two people, our immortals entered the palace and concocted it in the same way, pointing to kill Xu Jie! ”

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "I want to see if our immortals are powerful, or his immortals are powerful." (To be continued.) )
