In March of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Shanlu led the Great China Fleet and set out!
And for him, the eighteenth year of Chongzhen has an extraordinary meaning in itself...
In the original history, after seventeen years of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty could no longer support it, and the Han people collapsed! Then it became the so-called first year of Shunzhi, and the people who ruled them also became a group of alien races! But now
So Yang Shanlu has reason to believe that since he has changed the entire history, then let this change come more drastically... He wants the whole world to see this change!
And speaking of it, it seems that he is going to single-handedly challenge the whole of Europe, but in fact there is only one country that really has to deal with-that is, the European crap! The so-called Great Britain//The British Empire! At most, I would bring along a United States of America.
(The reason why we say piggybacking is because the United States of America at this point in time does not exist anymore!
In 1607, British colonists just established Jamestown on Chesapeake Beach. This was the first colony built by the British on the North American continent, so now the United States of America On the territory of, British talents have just established an outpost, and North America is basically controlled by Indians with feathers on their heads, and belongs to a civilized desert.
So can this status quo be worthy of being called an opponent? Yang Shanlu has nowhere to start if he wants to draw his sword... So he can be called an opponent, only Britain is a country, plus the old beauty).
And because Europe is so big and there are so many Western countries, why did Yang Shanlu only choose Britain and the United States of America? How good is it to unify the whole world
The answer is simple, because Yang Shanlu is not an aggressor! It's not even a madman like Hitler, who is delusional to conquer the world with the power of one country! Yang Shanlu has always followed the laws of the East... People do not offend me, I do not offend people, if anyone offends me, I will offend people!
So the reason why we are targeting these two countries now is self-evident... These two countries have committed too many crimes against our motherland in later generations!
Let me talk about Britain first. It can be said that in the history of modern China, it is these British people who have brought me the most sorrow and the heaviest losses on the land of China!
These self-proclaimed civilized British people, when they hold a gentleman's stick and look like a gentleman, they do things like robbers!
For example, in order to forcefully sell opium to China, the British//The countrymen brazenly launched two opium wars against a sovereign country! Including the subsequent cession of Hong Kong/Hong Kong, the establishment of a concession in China, and the hanging of a sign of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed", everything is done by this veteran gangster!
The reason why they dare to be so bold is only because they pride themselves on being superior! In the eyes of these'civilized gentlemen', those yellow-skinned Chinese are nothing but yellow-skinned monkeys! Uncivilized barbarians! So is it not normal to be on top of these savages
Even thinking of this, Yang Shanlu had to admire the future generations of Deng Wei. After the subsequent Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, the British and the British at that time brought the aftermath of the Battle of Maldives, delusional to intimidate China at the negotiating table.
But what Deng Wei said-Hong Kong is not Falkland Islands! In other words, China today will not be threatened by you! If you want to fight, then fight! And the final winner will definitely be China!
Therefore, such a tough negotiating attitude made the British Prime Minister who was negotiating at that time, and Margaret Thatcher, who was known as the Iron Lady, was frightened when she walked out of the negotiation venue! I almost wrestled and made a fool of myself! So it's so loud! National confidence...
And now, Yang Shanlu Bucai, with the same conditions, is of course going to do the same thing—Is the British//National Guy very good? Today I want to say no!
As for the other way to deal with the hooligan country of the white-headed eagle, the world's "policeman", let alone!
In the original history, after the white-headed eagle replaced Britain and became the world's hegemon, it did worse than it did—that is, as long as it is harmful or potentially harmful to the United States, it will suffer from him. The ruthless blow! Brother is so hanging, what can you do with me!
Therefore, under the guiding ideology of this kind of bandit, China, as a big country, is his key target! Even the long span of time will last for more than a hundred years!
For example, when the first eight-nation coalition entered China, the white-headed eagle sent 3,000 troops, and it was the main force among them! The capture of Dagukou, the burning of Old Summer Palace... They all committed crimes!
As for the recent ones, there are too many to count. Here is just one example. After China's reform/reform and opening up, seeing China's economy rise, the Chinese dragon will take off, and then the United States and the United States will not be able to sit still, and begin to focus on economy, technology, Military and diplomatic forces suppress China in all directions! Trying to suppress the momentum of China's development!
Even in order to achieve such a sinister purpose, he did not hesitate to launch* and bombed the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia/Slavia//Fudai//!
Think about it, what is the act of bombing the embassy of a country? I believe that every Chinese with a little knowledge understands it, right? So such humiliation...
(In order to prevent river crabs, but not to expand)
However, China is a country with a splendid civilization that no one can suppress! For example, I’m very pleased to see such a news recently-according to foreign media reports, on May 24 this year, the US/China naval reconnaissance plane was attacked by two aircraft during its mission in the South China Sea airspace southeast of Hong Kong/Hong Kong. Chinese fighter planes intercepted. One of the Chinese fighter planes was about 180 meters away from the US plane.
The report shows that the US/National P-3 Orion reconnaissance aircraft was "dangerously intercepted" by two Chinese fighter planes while flying in the airspace 240 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong/Hong Kong! One of the Chinese fighter planes flew in front of the US military plane, limiting its maneuverability!
A short piece of news revealed a lot of important information, and the most important one is... Today's China has become stronger and has the confidence to safeguard its own interests! Have the confidence to maintain their homeland security!
As in earlier years, in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the white-headed eagle used advanced technology and used an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters to unscrupulously penetrate into the Chinese territory! Taking a lot of spy photos and unscrupulously trampling on our sovereignty will never happen again!
Gone are the times when imperialism can conquer China by setting up a few cannons on the seashore as it did in earlier years!
Today's China is already strong and has the confidence to say no to the United States/country!
Of course, three hundred years ago, Yang Shanlu was completely willing to retaliate against this rogue country in advance!
Although it is still very far away from the establishment of the old United States (the United States of America was established in 1776), Yang Shanlu will still not let them go! And it's something he likes to hear...
The white-headed eagle in later generations likes to do it the most, isn't it to interfere in other countries' politics and wantonly trample on the power of other countries? So now, I will give you a bit from the root and let you die directly!
Want to be the world policeman in the future? Pointing to the whole world? Today I will end you completely!
In addition, Yang Shanlu had no doubt about the victory of this trip, even though he only brought thirty thousand Xuanjia troops on his expedition to Europe.
The old American won’t talk about him anymore. The country doesn’t even have a shadow. There are only Indians who drink blood and blood. So such a “country” is not like dough, it’s flat or round, and he kneads it. Did you pinch it
As for the long-established Britain, it shouldn’t be a concern either. Are you a great British countryman? I will move you today!
And through the previous battle with the British//Chinese expeditionary fleet (the battle between Zheng Zhilong and the British//National Guy), Yang Shanlu already knew the technological level of the other party... But that's all!
Even to put it bluntly, the whole of Europe in this era is still in a backward and ignorant state! For example, not many years have passed since the outbreak of the Black Death! (Because of the ignorance of Europeans, many people do not take a bath for life, or only wash three times in their life! Then the urban environment is dirty, which caused the plague epidemic).
It is one or two hundred years before Watt invented the steam engine!
Therefore, with the technological level represented by the Great China Fleet, the technological level is one to two generations ahead of the opponent!
Including Daming standing behind Yang Shanlu, he is also ahead of the world in many respects! Just like Daming, first, the area of arable land is the largest in the world! At that time, the world was in the background of the farming era, and there must be no need to say what more arable land means.
Second, the largest land area in the world! Third, it has the largest population in the world! In the era of pursuing population size, the promotion effect on the economy is obvious.
Fourth, the world's largest mining output, which means that the country's wealth is guaranteed.
Fifth, the number of troops in the world is the first!
Sixth, the output value of military industry is No. 1 in the world!
Seventh, the gross tonnage of ships is the largest in the world!
What so many firsts means is already self-explanatory! So even though Yang Shanlu has been'separated' from Daming, it is still his home country, and if anything happens, he will still fully support him! So with this kind of background, with the technology generation gap like the Great China Fleet, it can definitely sweep the whole of Europe!
Will there be Europeans who will not accept the appearance of the conquerors of the East at that time? Then dictate all kinds of dissatisfaction!
Moreover, Yang Shanlu did not rely solely on force to conquer when he went this time. In other words, with a big stick in one hand and a'sweet jujube' in one hand, that is the kingly way! So besides that, he also brought another powerful weapon-that is economic invasion!
Insert a sentence, the book-chasing app I am using recently, cache reading, offline reading!
As mentioned earlier, Daming at this time is very powerful compared to other countries in the world, so many firsts can be used!
Including the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is not far from capitalism. For example, Daming’s iron production is the total of Europe, and industrial production accounts for more than 60% of the world’s total. One third of the world’s silver is traded to China, so it’s so good. How to make effective use of the conditions? That is to launch an economic invasion!
For example, now Europe has begun the armed plunder of North America, so Daming can also use his advanced production technology, manufacturing technology, unique famous products, etc., to carry out economic invasion!
Think about it, when a large number of high-quality and cheap oriental goods appear in front of the European turtles, can the European turtles resist buying them
Know that there are countless good things in China! Gorgeous silk, fragrant tea, snow-white porcelain... Even if necessary, the improved bird blows that have been eliminated by the Xuan Jia army are not untradeable!
For example, after buying high-quality and low-cost munitions, the price/performance ratio is very high, so can the military industry in Europe be able to develop? And when his military production capacity is abolished, what Daming wants to do, can the European turtles still follow the baton? So the benefits...
And another advantage of the economic invasion is that the large quantities of real gold and silver looted by European turtles from the Americas, plus the gold and silver mined in their own countries, will flow continuously to the east during this trade process, which can create Ming currency. The silver standard!
And after Daming has sufficient gold and silver reserves, he can also generate derivative currency credit! (Similar to the role of the US dollar in later generations), not to mention the benefits of this, and in the process of this global transfer, the European turtles can only become a transit point for the global transfer of gold and silver.
And this kind of economic invasion has more long-term benefits than armed invasion.
Because in this process, Daming’s products will continue to be exported in large quantities (including Golden Egg Island), which will greatly promote Daming’s industrial development! The huge demand will encourage more businessmen to invest in the establishment of industries, and the same demand will in turn promote industrial owners, promote the advancement of industrial technology and the formation of industrial systems.
What's even better is that the budding of European capitalism at this time has just started, and it is far from large-scale and industrialization! Then suffered such a heavy blow, their industrialization process will be postponed for at least 50 years! It's even possible for a hundred years! And in this way, for the benefit of Daming... A great empire will rule the east!
Of course, it is not ruled out that some insightful people in the European turtles will find this disadvantage, but as long as the merchants continue to make great profits, Europeans still hope to buy cheap and exquisite oriental goods. If no one has trouble with their wallets, This trend cannot be reversed!
And in this way, this kind of warm-hearted economic invasion is more in line with long-term interests. At that time, the whole of Europe will be crawling under our feet with a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other!
Therefore, adhering to the above ideas, Yang Shanlu's expedition to Europe this time, in addition to bringing 30,000 Xuanjia troops, he also brought a large number of precious commodities, and even among them, in addition to the traditional best-selling goods exported from Ming Dynasty... silk, tea, etc. , He even brought three unique things-that is perfume, woolen sweater, and fertilizer!
Just think about it, just the silk, tea, etc. before, can make European turtles rush, plus these three unique rare products, after they appear in front of European turtles, will they put them in their pockets for the end? Take out a silver coin
Therefore, combining all the above, Yang Shanlu is full of confidence in this trip to Europe. (End of this chapter)
