Chapter 256: The British Empire, which occupies 1/5 of the world's territory

The most powerful empire in the world?

Hearing this, they all looked at the world maps of the Mongol Empire on the high platform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

If you want to say the largest in the world, then only this country whose territory spans almost a quarter of the world map can be called the most powerful in the world!

There are four maps of the Mongol Empire, starting with the earliest Temuzhi as the territory of Genghis Khan, ending with the destruction of the Jin Kingdom of Western Xia, and then to the largest map of the entire Eurasian region.

In the end, it was the Mongol Empire that split into three separate khanates and the spheres of influence of the four powers on the Yuan side.

Next to the map of the Mongol Empire, there is a map of the Yuan Dynasty, a map of Kublai Khan after the destruction of Goryeo, and a map after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

No more inch!

Seeing that theirs was indeed the map that was thrown into the Mongol Empire, Chen Jincai shook his head, in fact, in terms of being really strong, the Mongol Empire was not half a little worse.

"As far as the future is concerned, you are all ancients, and you are not looking so far, which is not to blame.

In fact, if it is really in terms of intelligence, it means that I am much worse than you, but I am not smart enough, and I will make up for it with knowledge!

You may have the wisdom of teachers to teach and the wisdom of ancient history, but you are far, far from my insight into looking forward to the future and knowing the gains and losses, and looking back at the rise and fall of history!

It's my luck and it's my strength!

And today, I want to tell you all the history I saw in my dreams and in the Book of Heaven, so that you can also have insight into the future!

Know your future gains and losses, rise and fall!

The gains and losses of the future, the rise and fall, is your destiny!

And you know your future gains and losses, rise and fall, and want to change, that is to change your destiny! ā€

This is what Chen Jincai meant, and everyone at the bottom understands it now.

His figure suddenly grew taller.

There were many such people in ancient times, Jiang Ziya and Zhou Gong made the Zhou rites, even if its function was to change from the nature of the laws of the Zhou Dynasty to the nature of the etiquette two thousand years later.

But it is undeniable that this is a necessary process for a beast to become a man.

Therefore, Jiang Ziya and Zhou Gong are both saints.

Lao Tzu put forward the theory of morality.

Although it has changed from the emperor's mental tricks at the beginning, to the subsequent more than 2,000 years of restraining people's ambitions, it has made people rational and more beneficial to social development.

So Lao Tzu is also a saint.

Kong Zhongni was a master of many people, studied the essence of the ideas of his predecessors, and wrote books to pass on to future generations.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, faithfulness and filial piety have exhausted the right way in the world.

So he is a saint.

Han Feizi believes that time has passed, people have grown from outnumbered to numerous, and their minds are chaotic.

The Zhou rite as a law is no longer enough to restrain the chaotic world.

Therefore, studying the Dharmaist keeps the world in order.

So he is also a saint.

The appearance of these people is to use their wisdom to guide the direction of the future human race.

But this saint is not another saint, they are not those desolate saints in Chen Jincai's heavenly book.

These saints are nothing more than honorific titles for people who have made outstanding contributions to the human race.

It is Yue Fei, who is now standing not far from Chen Jincai's side, doesn't he still have the title of a martial saint in the future generations?

It is precisely because they are not the saints of the desolation mentioned in the Book of Heaven that they don't have too far-sighted!

There is no eternal law of law, and what remains unchanged for ten thousand years is only decay.

The so-called wise man is just good at summarizing the experience of his predecessors, so as to find the most suitable path for the future.

Tang Taizong said it well, taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall.

Take people as a mirror to know the gains and losses.

Every wise man is a person who is good at looking in the mirror.

So every glorious family, or every glorious nation, or every glorious country.

The premise of their brilliance is that someone can find in history that others have taken the wrong path to bypass.

Find the right path and follow the footprints.

But how to walk is flawed, because people are always moving forward, and there is no possibility of going backwards.

Because behind is history, and ahead is the future.

Time has passed, and the vicissitudes of life mean that the future is uncontrollable.

Today it is a mountain, it may pass, tomorrow it is here, it is the sea.

The pace of people is speeding up day by day, and the places that people walk through now may be places that were rarely visited before.

When the foreman did not walk here, there were no footprints to walk on.

When latecomers go to explore, they need to cross the river by feeling the stones, step by step carefully.

Of course, you can also be careless, because there is a possibility that the next step, you will fall into a water hole and drown.

In fact, it is a trivial task to drown yourself by taking the wrong path.

Because when you die, you're gone.

But because of your mistake, you brought the tribe to the wrong place and killed them all.

That's what's wrong with you!

But in fact, there are many people who have cheated their own race like this.

"If you talk about territory alone, the Mongol Empire is indeed the largest territorial country in history!

But this country only existed for a short time, and the future sons were only Temujin, and after his death, the Mongol Empire was divided!

But as long as it exists, even if it exists for a year, or exists for a day, as long as it is really strong, it does not prevent others from thinking that he is strong! ā€

Chen Jincai's words made the people below talk a lot, and they heard that in Chen Jincai's mind, the Mongol Empire was not the most powerful.

Genghis Khan of the Mongol Empire once said:

There is nothing happier in life than to kill the enemy, to drive them out, to rob them of their wealth, to rob them of their cattle, sheep and horses, to make their dearest people wash their faces with tears, and then to sleep with their wives and daughters! ā€

"Wherever the Mongols passed, like locusts crossing the border, their rule was to kill all the enemy men who were higher than the wheels and rob all the women!"

"They have conquered all the land, but they do not have complete control, they eat from the east to the west like locusts in a plague of locusts!

The heroes pointed at their blades were subdued, and the hundred tribes bowed their heads! ā€

"But they are not the most powerful, they are just like the rogues,

They rode mares and drove flocks of sheep, and every time they conquered a territory, they turned the local people into servant armies and drove them forward to conquer the city! ā€

"But all of this is a conquest between blades and arrows, which is much, much worse than the world's number one power!

The Southern Song Dynasty was so weak that the Mongols fought the Southern Song Dynasty for nearly 50 years!

In the end, it was with the efforts of the Han people of the Yuan Dynasty that the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated! ā€

"How can such a country be considered the number one power in the world!"

Speaking of this, Chen Jin was solemn, and everyone knew that he was about to say the name of the world's number one power in the next eight hundred years, so they all pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully.

"More than 700 years later, the world's first power, its name is Great Britain!"
