Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

After hearing about this incredible island mine, Kong Ming stood up with a ruler.

I put a ruler on the map to briefly measure the distance between Chang'an and Luoyang, and marked the ruler with charcoal.

Then he moved the ruler downwards and compared it with each other. Kong Ming sighed:

It's at least 30,000 miles away from Yangzhou to this remote island.

The meaning is also very clear: let’s not worry about this for the time being.

Liu Bei is very optimistic:

Now we only need to study arithmetic and test-build new ships. As long as we proceed step by step, we can seize the opportunity to gain sea power.

In this way, not to mention Jue Dao, we will be able to patrol the western oceans with naval vessels to spread the name of Han Dynasty.

After all, the Qing Dynasty's record of hundreds of thousands of people being defeated by more than two dozen Galenic ships had clearly demonstrated the strength of the warships.

And they only need to follow the procedures step by step, worship arithmetic at home, learn from the Western Original from outside, study astronomy at the top, survey the sea at the bottom, and develop a naval division to build strong ships, then the rise of the Yan Han will be close at hand.

This is a future that is extremely clear and within reach.

The future Pang Tong was also in agitated mood. He immediately remembered Emperor Xiaowu's boast and read it softly:

The sky is connected to the earth, and wherever people touch it, I will be honored by all the guests!

At that time, the Minyue Kingdom was in rebellion, and the Nanyue Kingdom was a vassal of the Han Dynasty, so they reported the rebellion to Emperor Xiaowu.

The King of Huainan cited scriptures to persuade Emperor Xiaowu to send troops, but the emperor would not listen.

As a result, after hearing that the Han Dynasty had sent troops, the whole country of Fujian and Yue was shocked and civil strife broke out.

The head of the King of Minyue was presented to Emperor Xiaowu by his subordinates to extinguish the emperor's anger.

Afterwards, Emperor Wu sent a decree to inform King Huainan of the incident, and made this statement the target of the Han Dynasty.

Kong Ming also laughed and loudly recited an article written by Ban Biao:

The Han Dynasty has prestige and leads all nations. All the people who shine upon the sun and the moon are my concubines!

In Kong Ming’s view, what the Han people always want is very simple:

My territory, I have the final say.

Because of this simplest request, the Han Dynasty succeeded for four hundred years, and men with lofty ideals and benevolent people worked hard to finally destroy the Xiongnu and achieve peace in the northern border.

But now, Kong Ming is not talented, but he is willing to use his meager efforts to restore the Han Dynasty.

Start the study of arithmetic, develop scholarship, establish the system of engineering, and promote the name of science.

It is an opportunity for future generations to take the lead.

As a result, the atmosphere in the Chengdu government office became more and more harmonious.

Zhang Song said that if he is finished with his business in Yizhou, he must go to Zhuya to see it.

Liu Ba smiled and encouraged, saying that since we have arrived at Zhuya, why not go out to the sea to have a look?

For example, how beautiful is the silverware in Guli where Wang Dayuan has been?

Zhang Fei was still there and couldn't believe that the British could kill millions of natives.

Pang Tong pointed out very coldly that the ethnic struggle among the barbarians was like this, and the Yi people were exterminated and their strongholds were exterminated.

But then Pang Tong shook his head and said that China is not so barbaric. After a thousand years, there will only be only a million people. Now it is probably only tens of thousands. There are many ways to deal with it.

For example, asking them to recognize their ancestors, such as exchanging wealthy land, such as throwing Buddhists over, and so on.

However, Pang Tong did not intend to tell Zhang Fei the detailed method. After all, this matter was still far away.

However, Pang Tong also made up his mind: he must not die young!

…

Li Shimin in the Manlu Hall let out a long sigh of relief.

Previous questions about how rich the ocean really is have been answered.

But this answer made him no longer able to restrain his desire for the ocean:

“A thousand-year career begins at the sea.”

The worries previously caused by the territory being too large to be effectively controlled have now been alleviated a lot.

Let the Western Regions become the corridor of the Tang Dynasty, and the South China Sea become the inland sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

As long as I can succeed, who else can compare with me in this thousand-year career?

Thinking of the excitement, Li Shimin could no longer control his mood and punched the table hard, shocking Liu Rengui who was also full of expectations.

His Majesty?

Li Shimin waved his hands, a little embarrassed, but looked at Liu Rengui with a little expectancy in his eyes:

Zheng Zhe can become famous in naval warfare, but when he was young, a strange person taught him the art of naval warfare?

Liu Rengui shook his head sincerely:

Your Majesty, I am a native of Bianzhou. I have been familiar with water properties since I was young and do not understand water warfare, let alone naval warfare.

Li Shimin was immediately disappointed.

Liu Rengui is undoubtedly a talent that surprises him, but now that there are such grand plans at sea, just Liu Rengui is not enough.

So I asked casually, just to see if there were any surviving sages, but it seemed like I was overthinking it.

Then Li Shimin laughed at himself, looking at the mixed knowledge of later generations, it can be seen that there is no end to learning. How can there be so many talented people who are born with knowledge?

We still have to devote our efforts to studying!

Thinking in his heart, Li Shimin glanced around the Ganlu Hall, and at the same time remembered Li Shiji, Liu Rengui, Fang Xuanling, Yan Lide and others in his heart.

The younger generation made it clear, so he could probably sort it out. If you want to build a naval division, navy officers, arithmetic training, and ship modification are all indispensable.

If you want to go to sea, the ship will have a lot to do with it. It is not appropriate for the general to be the supervisor to build the ship. Then...

Add a Jinghai Division? No, let’s wait and leave these people behind to discuss and decide.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin looked up and found that Liu Rengui was still looking at him seriously, obviously still wondering why the emperor asked this.

After temporarily dispelling those thoughts, Li Shimin asked kindly:

Then can Zhengze understand arithmetic?

Liu Rengui felt a little embarrassed when he said this: I don't quite understand.

Li Shimin nodded:

In that case, I will first enter the Imperial Academy to study arithmetic.

Liu Rengui had no objection and agreed.

[After Britain defeated the Qing government in the Opium War, Li Hongzhang made a judgment that China at this time was:

Great changes unseen in three thousand years.

This judgment is correct, but in fact this judgment came too late. This big change actually started earlier.

There is a frequently quoted saying in modern sea power theory:

“Whoever controls the ocean controls everything.”

In the same way, if you lose control of the ocean, you will lose everything.

We are all familiar with the entrance to the East Asian ocean, the Strait of Malacca, and the time when the accident occurred can actually be guessed: the Ming Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, Srivijaya was the country that occupied the Strait of Malacca. It maintained a tribute system with the Song Dynasty and built a relatively strong navy.

Later, the Song Dynasty had no time to take care of itself, and Srivijaya was also attacked and destroyed by the Malays.

By the time Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Seas, Malacca was already the founding country in the Strait of Malacca, which is the same name as Malacca.

Manchuria controlled the port, and the Ming Dynasty provided diplomatic and military protection to Manchuria, so the two sides established a fairly deep cooperative relationship.

According to Ming history records, starting from the first year of Yongle, Manchuria paid tribute 32 times in a hundred years, five of which were large-scale tributes led by missions led by the king and queen of Manchuria.

But such a close relationship is based on the premise that both parties get what they need. As we all know what happened later, the Ming Dynasty's voyages to the West stopped, the power could not be radiated, and the relationship between the two parties naturally became estranged.

The incident that is enough to be written into history is that in 1511, the Portuguese attacked Manga and occupied the Strait with 700 soldiers, 16 warships, and thousands of local mercenaries.

The royal family of Manlajia are not afraid: There is a Ming Dynasty behind me, wait for death!

However, it was not until eight years later that Manlajia's letter for help was delivered to the hands of Emperor Baofang, Emperor Fengliu, Dharma King of Daqing, Director of the Zoo, Mighty General Zhu Shou, and Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao.

However, the Portuguese, who had defeated Manlajia, reached Beijing first and launched a vigorous silver dollar offensive, which was very effective.

The bribed eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao sang praises to Portugal to gain favor. Wu Zong even summoned people from the Portuguese mission to play chess together and agreed to send a mission to return.

Under this situation, Manlajia's envoy stayed in Beijing until he and his wife both died of illness, but they did not ask for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.

The only reaction of the Ming Dynasty was to expel the Portuguese mission after Emperor Wanshou ascended the throne, but still did not send a single soldier and lived happily in the alchemy room.

At this point, the Westerners completely opened the maritime gateway to East Asia. It was the Galen ship that the Portuguese attacked and destroyed Manchuria.

Three hundred years later, the British defeated the Qing government in only slightly larger galenic ships.

It can be said that from the moment Manchuria fell to Europe's powerful ships and cannons, China's sea power was already a foregone conclusion. A major change that has not happened in a thousand years has begun. The remaining question is when will this layer be broken? It's just window paper.

But fortunately, with the rise of our new China's maritime power, China's lost sea power has finally been taken back by us.

From poverty to the beginning of the navy, from offshore defense to naval escort formations traveling to Africa.

Now that the Liaoning and Shandong ships are in service, and the Fujian ship is commissioned, we are about to usher in the era of three aircraft carriers.

A history of thousands of years of sea power changes and a century of history of sea power struggles.

The Chinese navy is heroic and heroic, and a prosperous naval age is bound to come.

So that’s it for this issue, thank you all. 】

Kong Ming has always felt that future generations view history from a novel perspective.

It seems to be a rigid text recorded in historical annals, but after analysis and explanation by later generations of historians, there is a sense of understanding.

But compared to complaining about history, the descendants of this future generation have their own unique style.

Words like struggle and resistance often appear in their words, and the pride in them is palpable.

They know how difficult everything is now, and they clearly remember the humiliation of losing power and humiliating the country.

But in the end, he did not sink in it, but was like Su Wu in Beihai, like the champion of long-term driving and electric control, and like the Ban masters who devoted their writing to the army.

I didn’t complain too much, but I worked diligently and immersed myself in work, and finally became a blockbuster and showed off again...

What a man! Zhang Fei praised loudly.

But then Zhang Fei shook his head.

He was familiar with the proud tone of the younger generation, just like when he and his second brother had just achieved some achievements.

This is not only pride in achievements, but also pride in not succumbing to hard times. Zhang Fei deeply lamented this.

And those who have been studying for several months have produced results. Zhang Fei immediately remembered a suitable saying from the sages:

Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement.

What a good man!

Kong Ming was dumbfounded, but he looked at the light curtain with joy. Yide's words were simple, but they deeply touched Kong Ming's heart, and he had nothing else to say.

The light curtain has not yet ended. As the words are silent, the content on the light screen continues to be broadcast.

First, there was a black and white and very shaking picture. He heard a voice sighing:

The world's trend is vast and powerful. If you follow it, you will prosper; if you go against it, you will perish.

And soon, the voice became sonorous and powerful, as if he was arguing with someone, and also seemed to be lamenting:

“The fight for maritime rights in the Pacific Ocean is the fight for the right to be the gateway to China.”

In the end, the voice became older, but it still kept thinking:

China's navy... cannot exceed a hundred. If unfortunately there is any foreign aggression, China will be in danger.

And soon the sound of a cannon was deafening, and on Kong Ming's yellowed map, the Japanese island turned into a giant hand and grabbed it towards the Chinese, but soon smashed it to pieces with a fist.

Then this hand picked up a writing brush, dipped the tip of the pen into the wreckage of the Japanese island with ink, and then the pen moved quickly and wrote a sentence:

We must build a navy that can protect our coastal defense and effectively defend against possible imperialist aggression.

Then the writing slowly faded away, and what Kong Ming saw was a toddling navy, all of which were small ships.

The background sound is a crisp female voice accompanied by a ticking sound:

All foreign aircraft and military ships are not allowed to enter China's territorial waters and airspace above them without permission from the Chinese government.

In the end, all of this faded away, the colors of the picture gradually became brighter, the familiar perspective increased, and then the fleet all over the sea came into Kong Ming's eyes.

The first time he saw it, Kong Ming knew which one was the aircraft carrier!

Aircraft carrier, the mother ship of aviation weapons!

It turns out that this is the moving territory!

When Kong Ming opened his eyes wide, he could still see the soldiers on the aircraft carrier. With a brief estimate, the approximate size of the aircraft carrier was listed in Kong Ming's mind:

At least three hundred steps back and forth! There are nearly a hundred steps to the left and right! It’s really a huge thing!

At this point, Kong Ming also sighed sincerely:

Han's children in later generations are exceptionally tough, exceptionally intelligent, and exceptionally...difficult.

From poverty to a fleet full of seas, from being bullied by others to fighting for sea power.

Kong Ming still clearly remembers the tone when later generations talked about aircraft carriers for the first time:

We have also mastered the pinnacle of human military power!

It will be difficult for future generations, and I know it very well.

This feeling of pride, thanks to the connection of the same culture and species, Kong Ming can also feel the same.

Han'er...has grown up.

Pang Tong's sighing voice also contained a variety of complex emotions.

Kong Ming turned his head and looked over. The two looked at each other and laughed almost at the same time:

Han'er is so good!

My man is very lucky and good!

…

The people in the Manna Palace watched all this in silence.

The tangle and hard work ahead made Li Shimin worried, but in the end, the broad prospects of the fleet made Li Shimin speechless.

But in the end, what echoed in Li Shimin’s heart was the sonorous and powerful voice from the beginning:

The trend of the world is overwhelming.

It was as if he could see a river in front of him, with countless ethnic groups floating in it.

What is smooth? What is contrary?

I, Tang Xuyin, lead the way step by step, pioneering the thousand-year changes in the Western world, riding on the waves!

Ka Wen Ka was so awesome in this chapter that he kowtowed to the audience.
