Chapter 543: Ancestors can't do it if they're too fierce

Although I don't know what the result is, but Qin Mubai provided some books, and then there was no more, they did quite well in other aspects, at least this strategy, Qin Mubai felt that it was okay, very 6666.

In fact, it is not easy to maintain such a large empire now, not to mention that the continuous immigration to Australia and the United States is a very large and difficult thing in itself.

With the design drawings of things like steam engines and railways, as for whether they can be expanded or not, it is not something that Qin Mubai can know.

As for whether the Americas will become independent in the future, Qin Mubai can't guarantee to be honest, first of all, this Ming Dynasty immigrated to the Americas and Australia is different from those in history, who are the people who went to the Americas and Australia in history? There are still many ordinary people in the United States, as well as those poor people who have no opportunities in Europe, and some Christians and the like.

But almost most of the first people on the Australian side, and almost most of those who came after, were criminals.

So it is normal for these places to be independent, but it is different here in Daming, almost most of the immigrants in the past are ordinary people, and the loyalty of these ordinary people to Daming before immigration is undoubted, and secondly, Daming has the most powerful fleet in the world.

But it is not clear whether this most powerful fleet will be able to prevent the independence of the Americas, or rather, whether it will prevent Europeans from landing on the New World.

In about another 50 years, Columbus will discover the American continent, but this is the original history, and the current history Qin Mubai does not dare to guarantee, first of all, the current history According to Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty has completed a voyage around the world.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty had basically completed most of the voyages, such as going straight from the east all the way to the north, finally crossing the Bering Strait, and then reaching North America, while from the other side, the Ming fleet had already crossed the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and then arrived in the Mediterranean Sea from the other direction.

It's just that it didn't cross the Atlantic, and the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was completed not long ago, although the global world was not completed by a fleet, but the Ming fleet, which has long had a map of the world, has actually drawn most of the charts.

And now, what Zhu Qizhen talked about before are only the two most important places, but now the Ming Dynasty also occupies several very important islands and geographical locations, for example, Hawaii is now under the control of the Ming Dynasty, followed by Sri Lanka, which is also under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Then there is the Strait of Malacca, and finally there are two canals, the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, as for how many slaves are needed to repair the two canals, it doesn't matter, because there are a large number of slaves to use in these places, although there are no slaves in the Ming Dynasty now.

But there was no problem with the prisoners of war using them to build canals, and now the first soldiers used in the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars were almost all those who had just integrated into the Ming tribes.

As for the issue of fairness, no one is stupid, it is impossible that we have been sending us to death, but you Ming people are not, but according to Zhu Qizhen, in fact, there are many "methods" for the Ming fleet.

For example, in the era of cold weapon warfare, injuries were inevitable, but in fact, compared to modern times, as long as there are adequate treatment methods in this era, the proportion of direct deaths in war accounts for a very small proportion.

However, those Ming soldiers who were slightly injured were directly reported "dead" by the fleet, and then directly transported back by battleship, and after the injuries were healed, they directly changed to another place.

Therefore, those who fought together with others, such as the Japanese Kou, always thought that the "casualties" of the Ming people were not smaller than them. Because the main commanders are in the hands of Da Ming, the actual casualty figures are naturally known to the people of Da Ming, and when these numbers go through some "coincidences", it will be simple.

At least from the outside world, the sacrifices are the same in all countries.

In fact, many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty have been "dead" more than once.

I have to say that one step ahead can be said to be step by step, there are not many indigenous people in North America now, including South America, and the main problem now is to see how much of the North American continent and the Atlantic Ocean they can control. As long as the Atlantic can be controlled, Europeans will be confined to Europe as well as Africa.

As long as they can be restricted from going out, then Europe will not rise, whether it is Portugal or Spain, or Britain, in fact, it was the Age of Discovery that let them go out, and then after going out, they brought them rich returns, and these returns made their national strength begin to rise.

Let Europe begin to rise, but if the Europeans are blocked in North America and Africa, there are a lot of black people in Africa, and the Sahara Desert in Africa is a natural barrier, no matter what, as long as they can't reach the South Seas and North and South America, don't brag.

The Europeans will not develop at all, their population will not explode, and technology will become more and more backward, because the backwardness of warships will make it difficult for them to get out, and if there is not enough plundering to maintain wealth to support their warship construction plans, technological upgrading will slow down.

To put it bluntly, it's a ripple effect.

The total amount of prosperity in this world is limited, and when some people increase, others will inevitably decrease.

As for the Middle East, although it is not controlled, it is now a barren land, no one cares at all, and oil is still hundreds of years before it was discovered.

Da Ming, who used all his inventions and creations on battleships and artillery, wanted to be caught up by the enemy, which was simply impossible. However, it is not completely impossible, but the possibility is infinitely smaller.

Because it occupies so much territory, the wealth that Daming transports back to China every day is an astronomical amount, but there are too many of these wealths, and inflation is also a terrible thing, so Qin Mubai still left some books on finance, in fact, although people in this era do not understand inflation, they actually have some research.

It's not that there is no research at all, it's just that it's not so systematic.

In fact, it is not very difficult for the current Ming Dynasty to solve inflation, infrastructure. Later generations will be called the infrastructure madness, and now it is completely possible to start, build roads, as long as the gold and silver are spent, and then develop all kinds of goods for the people to consume, as long as the money is circulated, inflation will fall.

Especially most of the money, resources began to be consumed in some infrastructure, this is definitely not a loss, although the infrastructure construction of this era is difficult, but as long as it is repaired, the benefits obtained, at least the impact on future generations, it is absolutely unprecedented.

Anyway, that's all the advice Qin Mubai can give.

This time the stay was shorter, that is, only two days, Qin Mubai and Zhu Yuanzhang left, but this time Qin Mubai left a lot of books, especially in finance, infrastructure, and steam engines. The things of the first industrial revolution Qin Mubai have already given in advance, but when can these things have a huge effect.

That's not what Qin Mubai can know, of course, in fact, the full set of textbooks from elementary school to high school left by Qin Mubai is the real killer feature, and it is also a very powerful plug-in, as for what will happen in the end, then he doesn't know. Because Qin Mubai even gave the history book, as for the content inside, Qin Mubai directly told Zhu Qizhen that this was the history that would have happened.

As for the present history, it depends on how they have changed.

Seeing those later histories, how will Zhu Qizhen change is not something that Qin Mubai can know.

Returning to the capital again, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time before asking, "Mr. Qin, do you think we will let Da Ming exist completely?"

"I don't really know about that. Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is really hard for him to say, you know, although some of their statements and suggestions are just sayings and suggestions, they actually made Daming leap through many eras at once.

As for the textbooks left behind, such as politics and history, which seem to have little effect on the development of science and technology, but can have a huge impact on society, Qin Mubai really doesn't know what will happen.

"Do we count this as pulling out seedlings to help them grow?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"Not really. Qin Mubai thought about it and shook his head. In fact, the earliest germ of capitalism in China existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, yes, it was nearly a thousand years ago, but the germination of capitalism in the Northern Song Dynasty was interrupted by the external forces of the stage.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, two foreign invasions caused this germ to be interrupted, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty after the birth of capitalism again, and then by the Qing Dynasty, natural disasters and the Qing Dynasty to destroy, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the germ of capitalism can be said to be very active.

In particular, it can be proved that in fact, this time period is not at all a seedling promotion.

"In fact, during the Song Dynasty, there were some rudiments of modern development, but it was only because of the rise of Mongolia that this kind of failure. Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile and said.

To be honest, at that time, if Genghis Khan was a little less rebellious, and his descendants were a little less brave, the Southern Song Dynasty could really complete the evolution. You must know that the Southern Song Dynasty really almost dragged Mongolia to death in the end.

This proves that a super leader can really influence two or three generations.

Genghis Khan was fierce enough, and as a result, his sons and grandsons were also fierce enough. But after three generations, Mongolia quickly declined, because the ancestors were too fierce, and the descendants were really powerless, they couldn't keep up, they ate too much, and they exploded directly.
