Compared with the Song Dynasty, which was a mercantile country, and compared with the millennium two-way dealers in Arabia, what is the trade volume of small merchants in Portugal, Spain, England and the Netherlands? More than half of the world's total trade is in China!

What does it have to do with whether or not to value business?

Chinese merchant ships have been to Africa for a long time, and the Great Voyage is not earlier than Europe? Zheng He's fleet was no earlier than Columbus, da Gama, and the fleet was larger?

In the Philippines, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and other places, the Chinese have long colonized.

Zheng Zhilong's boss Li Dan and the great pirate "Wufeng Ship Owner" Wang Zhi were both vassal lords in Japan, and they also established the Song Dynasty in Japan.

China has a bunch of vassal states, and after the Ming Dynasty fought the Jin Dynasty, the Jin capital ordered Korea to send troops to participate in the war, what is the difference with the puppet states of later generations?

Korea was invaded, the Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties all sent troops to aid Korea, Mongolia was invaded by Geldan, Kangxi aided Mongolia, Vietnam and other vassal states The king candidates must be recognized by the suzerain, China, to be legitimate, so that the indigenous chieftains of South Asia and Southeast Asia pretend to be of Chinese blood, isn't this a stronger version of the Axis, the Allies, NATO, and the Warsaw Pact?

What does the Great Voyage have to do with colonization?

Northern Europe came out to rob England and the European continent because it was poor, and Western Europe was cut off from trade routes by Arabia, and could not get spices, porcelain, silk and other oriental goods, so the poor came out to find India everywhere!

What is China missing? There's everything, go out and find a hairy India!

China simply does not have the soil for transoceanic and transcontinental voyages and colonization! If you let him immigrate to Qinghai and Tibet, you see if it goes!

Manchuria conquered China, Shengjing's people were crazy towards the pass, no one wanted to guard the cold hometown, Sheng Jingjing couldn't wait to run away.

Mongolia has a large territory, and the Mongolians are all flocking to the mouth, and many of the eight banners stationed are the Mongolian Eight Banners.

There are warm and rich places to stay, who goes to the Great Voyage?

China has repeatedly laid down the northern grasslands, and it is the Chinese who resolutely do not immigrate to the grasslands, which has allowed the grassland peoples to resurge again and again.

Don't go to your own territory, but go out on a big voyage?

The great voyages of Europe were not for the sake of sailing, they had a goal, for spices, porcelain, silk, trade, money, all of which China itself had.

It has nothing to do with the Industrial Revolution, even if Arabia and China have steam engines, ironclad ships, and modern equipment, and do not have a ternary structure, how can technology and equipment be updated?

What does it have to do with the number of weapons and ships, the number of machines and plants?

There is no soil that nurtures industrial civilization, and no matter how many products of industrial civilization are obtained, they are all seedlings that grow in the industrial field, and they cannot survive in the land of agricultural civilization.

Industrial civilization was not born by mercantilism, navigation, colonization, steam engines and other machines, but by the philosophy and science of freedom.

The most basic soil of modern philosophy, represented by dialectical materialism, and natural science, is to allow people to doubt.

No one is allowed to doubt that, like pre-Renaissance Europe, it does not even have the soil for the production of free philosophy and science, and it will burn to death if it is mentioned as a sun center.

The Qing Dynasty, like the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties and other Chinese dynasties, is not allowed to be doubted, and do not talk about state affairs.

Astronomical phenomena such as solar eclipses are not suspicious of ordinary people at this time, at most Confucian scholars use earthquakes and solar eclipses to talk about the lightness of not cultivating benevolent government.

But Nan Huairen was suspicious of the astronomical calendar of the Heavenly Prison, and what he took out was data, which stood out from the crowd.

China pays attention to the induction of heaven and man, the imperial power is linked to the astronomical calendar, if the one of the Qin Tianjian is wrong, the dismissal of the official is certain, and the prison is only in the end.

If Nan Huairen is wrong, he will also be worried about his life!

But he was still handing out pamphlets on the new calendar, which was to endorse the results of academic research with his life.

Catholic scientists.

The princes and ministers in the palace who are allowed to contact the astronomical calendar must have also received Nan Huairen's pamphlet, and Qin Tianjian is estimated to be tragic!

The astronomical calendar is a classical occult science, both in the East and the West. Without mysticism, German civilization in the Middle Ages could not have been formed, and Germany has always inherited mysticism, a characteristic of German civilization, until the Nazi period.

The Heads study the stars too!

What is the spirit of a foreigner who has come to China thousands of miles away to refute the Qin Tianjian with the Chinese lunar calendar and leap month calculations?

This is to defeat you in your territory, with the rules you set!

This is not the parrots that Confucius said about Mencius, not the dogs that guard the household when changing the environment, this is the hero of the wolf who travels thousands of miles to eat meat.

Yuan Ji had an impression of Nan Huairen's name, and he didn't know which green onion Wu Mingxuan of Qin Tianjian was. He doesn't need to know how to calculate the spring and autumn equinoxes and the intercalary months to know who wins and who loses.

He also knew that Nan Huairen was doing this because he wanted to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, and he wanted to become a national teacher first, and then preach.

I have to say, this grandson is quite smart.

In these years, those who can travel thousands of miles across the sea, go to foreign lands, and stand out from the crowd really don't have any good stubble, all of them have real talents and real learning!

As an observer of comets, Halley has studied not only the stars, but also the effects of magnetism, tides, fish preservation, and opium.

In his original history, Halley was a sea captain, a cartographer, a professor of geometry at the University of Oxford, the second director of the Greenwich Observatory, deputy director of the Royal Mint, and the inventor of the meteorological chart and the deep-sea diving clock.

In this era, there was no division, and like Leonardo da Vinci, who studied everything, he could not only draw but also dissect, and he was all eight-armed Nezha. From combination locks, three-barreled cannons, self-propelled cars, to submarines, gliders, and helicopters, you can figure it out.

Nan Huairen is the same, chanting the scriptures and reciting the scriptures, not delaying the study of the astronomical calendar and building cannons.

It was from Nan Huairen that Motoyoshi had the idea of gathering Europeans and Arabs from West Asia and Central Asia who had wandered all over Asia.

Not just missionaries, but all those who have arrived in Middle-earth from the outside world.

Anyone who can cross the ocean in this era, even if he is a rogue, can see the glitter of gold.

He believes it's a treasure.

Moreover, Nan Huairen, these Catholic missionaries, unlike Protestants, are not only academic, but also love to go to the upper class, and they like to rub the big nobles the most.

Yuan Ji is an empty bucket emperor's brother, but Nan Huairen's eyes are like torches, and others avoid him like snakes and scorpions, but Nan Huairen does not avoid suspicion, and he runs to get tired of him when he has nothing to do, and he is used by him as a family foreign language teacher.

Not only does his wife learn, but he also learns.

It's just that he doesn't have as much free time as his wife, so the low language, that is, the teaching content of the Benelux and other Nan Huairen's mother tongues, is not as good as Qiqige's mastery.

His English is okay, but the key is that English is different from later generations, and English is all building block words, splicing words, and the vocabulary is in a state of violent expansion. Unlike Chinese, master 3,000 commonly used words in any combination, and live together.

Therefore, in English these years, he always felt that he was missing arms and short legs, and the meaning was not the same as that of later generations. And it's not a big language, it's all island languages in Europe, and the pronunciation is still half like and half like, and the British sissy is gone, and he feels that he has learned English in vain.

I don't want to learn it again, just be so-so and even guess and compare to be able to communicate roughly, and leave the rest to the little secretary.

"Kikige, these two little leopards are bigger, send them to the palace."

Seeing that the two little leopards were fluttering, Yuan Ji walked up to his wife, grabbed the "Hitler" with small white stripes on his tail and picked it up to take a look, lifted the paws of the small meat pad, touched the paws, and said, "Scratch you bigger." ”

"No!"

Kikige hugged Stalin tightly in his arms, "I said to raise a little lamb, the lord is not happy, Hitler and Stalin have only been at home for a year, and the lord is going to send him away?" ”

"These two masters are murderous, and it's terrible to grow up."

Yuan Ji even coaxed and deceived, "There are few leopards, and the lions and leopards that raised leopards in the palace in the former dynasty have not returned, and the apprentices who have been taught are all raising tigers." We don't know how to raise leopards, if we can't tame it, we can't take a bite of it, how wrong? I'll get you two little tigers when I go back, there are more tigers, and there are more people who can domesticate them, so let's raise tigers. ”

Originally, he saw that the children's wife was homesick every day, and he hugged a lamb all day long, and his eyes were pitiful, so he got two little leopards for her to play with.

Who knew that it was wrong, I knew that it would be better to get two tigers, and there would not be many leopards.

There are a large number of rare birds and beasts in the Yuanming Palace, many of which are tributed by various countries, rhinoceros, tigers, leopards, lynx, giraffes, the number of tens of thousands, the same as the zoo.

Leopard room and tiger room, tiger and leopard fighting, bull and tiger fighting, the emperor is depressed and looks at it is also a pleasure.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty cultivated a lot, and the real kung fu of testing the bull's nose was to let the Taoist priest fight with the tiger and leopard.

The light will be, and it will be dead!

Horses and donkeys can fight tigers, and horses from foreign tribute during the Ming Yingzong period fought tigers to death.

In the history of the barnyard tree, when Xuande eunuch got a donkey from Tibet, Xuanzong let the female tiger from the tiger city fight with the black donkey, but the black donkey killed the female tiger with one hoof, and fought the male tiger, and the three hooves kicked the tiger to death.

I don't know if it's true or not, but since the time of the Yuan Dadu, the Yuan and Ming dynasties in the Jingshi Palace have raised lions and tigers, but it's true. Because the Qing Palace also raises, but there are no leopards, only tigers.

Yuan Ji was misled and thought that there were many leopards, because there were many leopard skins in the princes and nobles of Manchuria, the clothing worn by ministers, and street shops.

The Qing dress system, the winter cushions of the three grades of martial arts, the end covers of the guards below the second class, and the winter crowns of the captains of the Lu Book must all be made of leopard skin.

These skins came mainly from the merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who traded with the Mongol Khanate, Tsarist Russia and other places in various trading cities, which later became Kyakhta.

In addition, such as Tangnu Wulianghai, and Jilin Wula in Shengjing, there is a small amount of tribute.

Shengjing has not yet been divided into Jilin Wula, Heilongjiang and Shengjing provinces, there is only one Shengjing, but only Jilin Wula has leopards to pay tribute, and all other places are tigers.

In addition to paying tribute, there are many leopard skins in the fur market in Kyoshi. The best black leopard skin can reach 15 taels, which is ten times the price of ordinary leopard skin, and you can get a leopard skin for one tael.

Tiger skins are more expensive than leopard skins, and there are many tiger skin tents in the Eight Banners Camp, and the tent roof and tent skirt are made of 100 tiger skins.

Manchuria and northern Mongolia have a lot of prey, and the yellow sheep herds are in the millions.

The so-called Russian colonists were actually the earliest Russian hunters who chased their prey eastward, chasing their prey all the way eastward in the tundra wasteland, fighting against the harsh natural environment, fighting with wild beasts, and fighting with Mongolian herdsmen along the way for hunting grounds, which was very heroic.

Such a valiant nation deserves a vast land, and the greatest pleasure is to conquer such a brave nation.
