Immanuel Kant, the founder of classical rationalist philosophy, is considered one of the most influential thinkers in the entire West after Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.

This position is placed in China.

Let's not say that it is comparable to Lao Tzu and Confucius.

At least it's a great figure of Zhu Xi's level.

Zhu Daohua used to hear the name of this great god when he was studying in Germany.

It is said that even the ideas of Max and Engels, the two sages of scientific socialism, were deeply influenced by this person.

Therefore, after arriving in Europe, Zhu Daohua took the initiative to write to contact him.

Zhu Daohua is very famous in Europe - the Europeans of this era, whether they understand it or not, at least clearly show that they advocate science.

This was true from the feudal aristocracy to the bourgeois neo-aristocracy.

And after Kant's correspondence with Zhu Daohua, he was also shocked by some of Zhu Daohua's thoughts-can you not be shocked, after all, this master came from later generations, and it is not difficult to say some views that make the philosophers of this era shine.

Correspondence between them.

Kant took Zhu Daohua as a confidant—I wonder if later generations of students would read texts like "the great philosopher Kant and his friend Zhu Daohua.....

And another Major Bonaparte.

It was Napoleon, who had just graduated from the artillery school of the military academy in Paris, France, and was attracted by the ideas of the French constitutionalists to join the constitutionalists, and then returned to his hometown to engage in the Corsican independence movement after being expelled from the army by the French Bourbon authorities. Bonaparte.

In the Hereafter.

Napoleon. Bonaparte had a lot of names on his head.

Founder of the First French Empire, Consul of the First French Republic, Emperor of the First French Empire.

Great 19th century military strategist, statesman ....

But now Napoleon . Bonaparte, just an officer who had just graduated from a military academy, and was also wanted by the Bourbon authorities ....

Zhu Daohua seized this opportunity.

The one who fooled the little Bonaparte to the East.

"Mr. Kant, your complexion is much better."

Zhu Daohua opened his arms and hugged Emmanuel Kant with a smile.

"It's finally getting over..... To be honest, if it weren't for your invitation, I really wouldn't have had the courage to sail thousands of miles to the far east. ”

Immanuel Kant said with a slightly pale face, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

"You won't regret this journey, the structure of Eastern and Western societies is very different, and if you look at the social structure of China, North Korea, and Japan, I believe it will have a very significant impact on your theory."

Zhu Daohua finished speaking.

Eyes on Napoleon.

"My most trusted Army General Counsel, how are you thinking?"

Zhu Daohua rushed at Napoleon. Bonaparte blinked.

Because if you want to go back to rebel, you will definitely need military talents, especially those of the army.

In Zhu Daohua's opinion.

In this day and age, is there a greater general than Napoleon?

"Your Royal Highness, to be honest, those weapons you gave me are completely things that can subvert the rules of the battlefield in this era!"

Napoleon said with some excitement.

His words made the other two people not far away look sideways.

"Subverting the rules of the battlefield? Just a recruit who hasn't even been on the battlefield yet? ”

The voice of a middle-aged man with a deep voice rang out.

"The rules of the battlefield are fought, not written in books."

Another said.

As they spoke, they took off their hats and saluted Zhu Daohua.

Zhu Daohua responded with a bow.

"Mr. Ministers."

Zhu Daohua nodded.

They were envoys of the King of England and the King of France, respectively.

George. Macartney and Raghou. Bourblon.

Macartney was the British envoy to the Qing Dynasty in history.

However, he did not receive any benefits from Qianlong at that time.

The British Empire really opened the door to this ancient country, relying on military force....

However, the current Britain did not have the courage to start a war with the Qing Empire.

This is mainly because of a war that took place a year ago.

The Qing army defeated the Gurkha very quickly, which greatly shocked the British entrenched in India.

The Gurkha is the modern-day Nizar.

However, the Nisr of this era was not a small country, but a country with considerable military power in South Asia.

The British East India Company waged several wars against the Gurkhas, but to no avail.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's army was able to quickly defeat the Gurkhas, and forced the Gurkha to pay tribute, which still gave the British a great shock.

And it was also because of this Gurkha battle that Britain temporarily gave up its plan to knock on the door of the Qing Empire by force, and instead sought diplomatic mediation.

It is in this context that it is.

Britain sent George. Macartney traveled to the East with Zhu Daohua's fleet.

Macartney would serve as the Queen's envoy, and after crossing the Strait of Malacca, he would travel north to Canton to present his credentials to the British Empire.

I believe that in the case of news of Zhu Daohua.

This time, Macartney will meet Qianlong more smoothly.

And Macartney with the same purpose.

and Raghou, the envoy of King Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty of France. Bourblon.

It's different from the UK.

France and the Qing Empire have been in contact since the Kangxi era.

Qianlong himself even had many years of correspondence with Louis XVI, and there were several missionaries from France in Qianlong's palace.

Many of the Western gadgets in the Old Summer Palace were actually built by Qianlong after seeing the portrait of the Louvre.

So.

Later, Louis XVI was guillotined, which gave Qianlong a great shock.

It also made Qianlong more determined to implement the policy of closing the country to the outside world, so as to avoid the ideas from the European rebels from "polluting" the obedient people of the Qing Empire.

The British and French ministers looked at the young Bonaparte.

They didn't understand why this young man was so valued by Zhu Daohua, and even directly appointed him as their army's chief adviser - although Zhu Daohua didn't have much army under his command now, they all knew that it would be easy for Zhu Daohua, who had more than 300 officers, to expand the army.

Don't say anything else.

This fleet carried enough munitions to equip tens of thousands of people.

As long as there are weapons, there are officers, there is money.

The army is very easy to organize.

Therefore...

The young graduate of artillery at the Military Academy in Paris.

Soon he will become the actual commander of an army of tens of thousands of people!!

This makes Raghu. Bourblon's face was a little ugly.

Zhu Daohua reused an opponent of the Bourbons.

This made Bourblon very unhappy.

But he couldn't do anything else.

He must not offend Zhu Daohua because of this small graduate of the artillery department—this is not in the interests of France.
