Chapter 617: The Birth of Su Qin II
"For thousands of years in the Chinese calendar, I have not heard of the trouble of the West and Rong Di barbarians, but scabies, now or naturalized, or wiped out, now there is the Holy Son of Heaven in power, the world with three million, food and food, and a place to live, it is the world is prosperous, Baiye is prosperous, how to come to the West's worries. According to the views of his subordinates, the worries of the ancient great powers are not outside but inside, not far away but near, and it is a three-hundred-year prosperity that is balanced for the division of power and the division of the territory. It is the worry of the Great Zhou, not on the Mediterranean Sea, but on the west of Hangu! His Majesty thinks that if Qin is the most prosperous today, he will seize Bashu, open the Western Regions, and control Persia, and the land of Persia will be almost Chinese! Such a strong country is the sole hegemon, sooner or later to seize the royal road with hegemony, the minister asked the saint to solve this henchman's worries, and set up the Qi country as the eastern hegemon, the Chu country as the southern hegemon, the three hegemons are in control, so as to ensure everything, not only the fangs of the canal beams."
Yan Wenhou's voice was high-pitched and loud, and his face was flushed with excitement, and when the princes heard his words, they all immediately looked at Bai Dong and Yingquliang; Yan and Qin have been on discord for a long time, but no one thought that Yan Wenhou would suddenly make trouble, calling Yingqu Liang a fang, and asking the Son of Heaven to dominate Qi Chu to balance Qin, although he felt that he was a little ignorant of life and death, but he also had to admire his courage.
Yingqu Liang Shi Shiran sat in the chief position under the left hand of the Son of Heaven, and was eating his beef with relish at the moment, as if he hadn't heard Yan Wenhou's words, Bai Dong looked at Yan Wenhou with a smile, and was somewhat surprised in his heart.
According to Bai Dong's plan, Zhao Yu's words should have caused Ji Bian and the princes of other countries to ponder the threat of the Westerners, so that Qin just called for unity in China as a hegemon, and then lured the interests of the West and the sea, and used both soft and hard to use both soft and hard measures. Let the countries closely rally around the Qin State. When the nations looked to the west with all their might, and a few years later saw the benefits and broadened their horizons. This alliance will gradually take shape, and the interests of each country will be inseparable, and the accompanying economic policies and laws will be born, thus forming a confederation-like state structure.
Throughout the history of China, the only era that is most likely to appear in the confederation system of the hypocrite is the Warring States Period, and the necessary condition for the emergence of this system is to develop outward and look at the world, and the British ~ American in later generations is no different.
Once the confederation was formed, the Qin state, which controlled Persia and Bashu in the Western Regions, as long as it did not lose these few pieces of land. will always be the overlord of the princes. For it was almost impossible to cross the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, for ships with oars and sails had relied on ocean currents to sail long distances before the advent of mechanically powered ships; Therefore, only by controlling Europe, mastering the Strait of Gibraltar, and passing through the Atlantic Ocean can we reach the New World, where there is not only land guano corn tomatoes, but also a large amount of silver and fertile undeveloped land, and now there is no country, no faith, no culture, as long as the Chinese civilization arrives first, the future American civilization will no longer exist, and most of the world will be shrouded in the Chinese civilization!
What is it to make Lao Qin dominate the world in fifty years? What Bai Dong is doing now is simply a great achievement. It is to lay a foundation for the current Chinese people, the future Great Qin people, Han people, Song people, Ming people, and Chinese ~ Chinese people!
Yan Wenhou refuted Zhao Yu in public at this time, which can be described as ill-intentioned. Bai Dong was just a little curious now. Yan Guo and the Xiang family joined forces to fight against their own reform of the silver standard, so naturally they would not be good friends, but his words were quite insightful, and the content directly pointed to his core plan, but I don't know where he was instructed? On his own, he would never have said that.
Bai Dong searched for dry intestines, but he couldn't think of any remarkable characters in Yan Kingdom during this period, just because Yan Wenhou, who didn't even have a name in history, could have such insight? It's really strange that you can see through your own mental arrangement at a glance
The princes looked at each other even more, especially Xiong Liangfu and Tian Yinqi, and their moods were extremely complicated. Chu was the least affected country by Qin, and it was only involved in commercial cooperation, so it was also the least fearful of Qin among the princes; Tian Yinqi has always had great ambitions, but Qi and Qin cooperated most closely, and attached great importance to maritime development, so they could not do without the support of Qin, so they had to be Qin's allies. But it would be strange to say that these two people did not have the intention of hegemony.
Yanwen Hou Niu, a passage pointed directly to their hearts, saying what they wanted in their hearts, if it weren't for the great power of Qin, the two of them really wanted to express their support for Yanwen Hou Ji Yan on the spot.
"Childe Shun is here?"
Seeing the instruction of the Son of Heaven, Dongyang Jun said loudly.
"Your Majesty is here!"
In the Qin State class, only Bai Dong, Gan Long, Wei Ying and other important ministers were eligible to attend, but Gongzi Shun was an exception; He was the first person in China to set foot in the New World, a great hero who opened up overseas territories, the guano he brought is now piled up inside and outside Hangu Pass waiting for the princes to share the profits, and the potatoes and corn he brought are even more praised by the Son of Heaven and the princes, if you want to talk about Western affairs, he is the most right to speak.
Gongzi Shun agreed, and walked out of the Qin State class very calmly, if he suddenly saw the Son of Heaven and the princes of the world three years ago, he might have been a little nervous, but now it is very different. In the past three years, his fleet has traveled from Asia to Europe, and from Europe to the Americas, and I don't know how many hardships and dangers he has encountered, how many life and death he has seen, compared to the terrifying hurricanes at sea, compared to the turbulence in the sea and the inexplicable sea monsters that may kill people at any time, what princes of heaven are nothing more than that. How can a man who has seen the power of heaven and earth and conquered nature be afraid of man?
Gongzishun has no Son of Heaven or Yingquliang in his eyes at this moment, only Bai Dong alone. Only he knew how important the ocean current map that Bai Dong gave him was, if he didn't have this thing, even the largest fleet would all be buried at sea! In later generations, the current map that an ordinary high school student had to study in geography class was like a miracle in his eyes!
Under the prompting of Dongyang Jun, Gongzishun began to tell the story of his voyage, and the princes turned from curiosity at first to listening carefully, hearing that there were huge waves several feet high on the sea, and giant fish the size of several acres, they couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, and when they heard that the New World was vast and boundless, with countless fertile land and new and strange species, enthusiasm was immediately ignited
As long as it is a human being, there is no one who has never dreamed of being a 'pioneer', why is the Yellow Emperor of Yandi great? The reason why the story of Shennong's clan will be recited by future generations is because they are the earliest pioneers! I thought that I didn't have this opportunity, but who would have thought that there was a new continent in this world that had not been explored? And as long as they set foot on this new continent, they may be able to do great things like Yan Huang and become legendary characters!
It is a longer journey, according to the route taken by Gongzi, you must first start from the seaport east or south of the Great Zhou, and go all the way west to a place called the 'Persian Gulf' by Baizi, where there is the largest port in Persia. After the fleet unloaded its supplies here, all the supplies could be transported by land along the Persian land to the port of Istanbul, which was established by the Qin state on the west coast of Persia, and transferred to larger ships to cross the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar all the way west into the mysterious seas
In the pre-Qin era when the Suez Canal was not opened, the Red Sea was still a paradise for sharks, and it was too ridiculous to go around the Cape of Good Hope to Europe, so the most scientific route for China to go to the Americas was to turn a land route in Persia through the Persian Gulf.
But for one thing, the lifeblood of this route is Persia! Persia, on the other hand, is now firmly under the control of the Qin state.
Gongzi Shun returned to sit down after speaking, and no longer paid attention to Yan Wenhou, but Dongyang Jun invited Bai Dong with a smile and asked him to explain what the threat from the West was. (To be continued.) )
