Chapter 141 The Danger of China
After Xiao Tianjian glanced at the ministers in the hall, he immediately felt the resistance of these ministers, so he sneered, put down the book, stood up behind the big case, walked to the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "I know what is said today. , which makes you very dissatisfied. After all, if I do this, I will cut off the way out of many scholars in the future. What I have learned will be useless and will attract the opposition of scholars all over the world! Including you, I won't just support me! But I dare to say that only in this way can I revitalize China in the future!
You may not believe what I said and think that what I said is alarmist, so good! I will argue with you today!
Let's talk about this weapon first! You all know how I conquered the world. In addition to the support of the generals, most of you know that the firearms equipped by our Dazhong Army are extremely sharp!
But how many of you know where the firearms I use come from? Gunpowder was created by us Chinese people, which is well known. The cannon was also created by the ancient Chinese people and was once shocked by the world as an artifact!
However, since gunpowder and fire guns spread to foreign vassals, Westerners have learned the essence very quickly, carried forward it, and made them into sharp muskets. Later, it was introduced to Japan. Daming seized their iron cannons from the Japanese pirates when they were still fighting against the Japanese pirates. Only then did they know that the iron cannons used had exceeded The fire used in Daming! Later, I imitated the bird you are familiar with! And it is regarded as a sharp weapon!
And I later built a large number of birds and trained the new army, so that when I led the army to fight with the Ming army, I could often stand in the position of defeat. Now the self-made firearm of our army's unified equipment is also created by imitating the Western flinch gun! At least on the musket, the Western countries have surpassed us! But now we're just catching up again!
In addition, you all know that the Fran machine gun and the Hongyi cannon are powerful, but where did the Fran machine gun and the Hongyi cannon come from? Isn't it the Portuguese, what you call the Francois, who brought it into China? And the cannons cast before the previous dynasty were not as sharp as these Hongyi cannons. Why is this? If our things are better than Westerners, why imitate other people's things?
This at least shows that our Chinese nation is losing its creativity. Whether it is smelting or casting artillery, it has been surpassed by the countries of Taixi! So that we have to learn from the Western countries!
If it hadn't been for so many years that in addition to training elite soldiers, I would have devoted all my strength to imitate the West and build muskets and cannons, how could I have overthrowed the Ming Dynasty so easily? Is the imperial slave outside the mountain customs? How to bring peace to the world? I'm afraid it won't be long before my great China will submit to Jiannu's iron hoof and steel knife!
I want to ask you, do you know what the truth is in this world? What is axiom? You don't have to answer. I can tell you today that the truth is only in the hands of the strong! The truth is only within the range of the cannon! Only when our China has a stronger force will we not be insulted in the future!
If you think these are not enough, you must still think that Westerners are just a little more powerful than us. It's not enough! If you still think so, then you are very wrong!
How many of you know where these Franks and Red Hair come from? Where is Tessie? I'm afraid none of you can make it clear. You just know that they come from the far West, and even think that they are uncivilized barbarians!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the sealing of the sea has been carried out many times. Although as early as the era of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, was sent to Nanyang several times. The Ming Dynasty once created the most powerful sailor in the world, which made countless Fanyi regard our Chinese as the kingdom of heaven. Unfortunately, after the death of the eunuch Zheng He of Sanbao, the Ming Dynasty But it closed the door of the country again, making those once glorious giant ships slowly rot in the bay! You can no longer recreate the glory of the past!
Even in order to prevent the emperor from coming back to Nanyang in order to prevent the emperor from coming back one day, even Zheng He's sea map to Nanyang was burned several times. This is really the biggest crime for us China! Liu Daxia is simply a sinner of the Chinese nation! I can't wait to dig it out and whip the corpse to relieve my hatred!
You may not agree with me. I don't deny that Liu Daxia did this for the Ming Dynasty, because after all, Zheng He has been to Nanyang several times, and the treasure fleet alone is very expensive. This is a waste of national power! So banning the sea is also the right way!
Hum! But you are wrong again! Because when the Ming Dynasty was forbidden to the sea, Western countries were heading towards the sea! With their weak national strength, they constantly explored the depths of the sea. They not only opened up the east-west routes, but also came to our doorstep in China! He also opened the gunboat to the door of our great China, and has tried to open the door of our country with cannons!
At present, what you often call a Franco man, has occupied a place called Macao in our China in Fujian, making it a window for them to peep into our China!
You have probably heard of Luzon! I guess some people may not even know where Luzon is, but they roughly know that Luzon once surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and many small countries in the South China Sea used to be the vassal states of our Celestial Empire, but now I can tell you that now Luzon has been forcibly occupied by a Western country called Spain. Go!
And the Dutchman, the so-called red-haired man, came to our door again. A few years ago, he first tried to occupy Penghu in the sea of Fujian, and now he has occupied the Great Ryukyu, which is known as Dongbo!
I'm afraid few people here remember that in the sixth year of Chongzhen, in Luowan, outside Jinmen, Fujian, the Ming army once had a big battle with the Red-haired people. Fortunately, we Chinese won that time, but few people know that in fact, it is not easy for us Chinese to win. Our ship is better than red. The number of Mao people was nearly ten times more, and they won the battle by relying on a large number of people!
Why? Just because the Ming Dynasty has been shut down the sea for a long time, it has made our Chinese warships lose far to the Thai warships. Some people once wrote down the warships of the Thais, saying that their warships are strong and strong. Seeing that the sea is surging, it is difficult to take over the battle. Yizhou is strong and big, and the cannon can poison people ten miles away. My boat is all broken. That is, there are 100,000 water rhinoceros, and there is nothing to do.
And the red-haired man said: the sailboat is only equipped with small iron guns, and there are no copper guns, and the gunpowder is also very bad... The quality of the Chinese people's muskets is poor, and the projectiles can't even wear ordinary chest armor, especially because they don't know how to aim. Their weapons are mainly bamboo guns and spears. Some are equipped with iron spear heads, and some are made of hard, short and blunt machetes. The breastplate is made of iron and tin. It doesn't take as much strength as people say to subdue China, because they are weak and vulnerable. People and captains who often go there said that the Governor-General of India, who led dozens of ships to conquer Malacca, could take all parts of the coast of China without any effort.
What does this mean? It shows that we have lagged behind, the Westerners have looked down on us, and our Chinese warships can no longer fight against them, so they dare to be so arrogant!
I can even tell you that in fact, they have sent ships along the coast of China, not even warships. At best, they are armed merchant ships. They also have gunboats that are much bigger and stronger than these ships and loaded with more cannons. At present, we Chinese warships can't compete with them at all!
Over the years, these Thai and Western countries have repeatedly tried to invade the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty also resisted, they did not see the crisis, let alone realize the backwardness of our Chinese people. Now please don't forget that although the Ming Dynasty is dead, our Greater China and North Korea are still there. This China belongs to our Chinese people! How can they be so arrogant?
Come on! Bring up what I have prepared!" Xiao Tianjian stood in the middle of the Fengtian Hall and said to the ministers in the hall in a rare stern voice. They were so scared that the ministers did not dare to sit down again. They got up and knelt on the ground one after another.
Especially the former officials of the previous dynasty, such as Lv Weiqi, Ding Qirui and Sun Chuanting, as important ministers of the previous dynasty, of course, they know much more than many people. They also know more or less about the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangxi, and may even know more than Xiao Tianjian, but in the past, they all I don't pay much attention to these things. I don't think these Fanyi people are just a disease of scabuse. Don't worry! However, when Xiao Tianjian said today that these Francoisans and red-haired people drove the warship to the gate of the Chinese people, these people began to realize that things were not as simple as they thought. When were Luzon and Nanyang countries actually occupied by these Thai people? If so, then the problem will be serious! After all, in their eyes, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the current Dazhong Dynasty, it should be the upper state of the Celestial Empire. The Nanyang countries should be the vassal states of the Celestial Empire. How can they be occupied by these Taixi people without saying a word?
In addition, Xiao Tianjian focuses on Macao and Greater Ryukyu. Needless to say, Macao must be a Ming territory. Although Greater Ryukyu is not a Ming territory, it is also a place on the doorstep after all! At least Penghu is also a Ming territory. Sooner or later, these places will also be the territory of their Dazhong Dynasty. How dare these red-haired people occupy it like this? This Thai man is too bulliive!
After hearing this, military generals such as Li Xin, Liu Yaoben and Liu Jiang suddenly became angry and stared. They almost jumped up and begged for orders and sent troops to fight against these Thai people who dared to offend their heavenly state.
At this time, Xiao Tianjian suddenly asked someone to carry things up, and the ministers in the court were immediately curious. They didn't know what rare things Xiao Tianjian was going to make to show them, so the ministers immediately looked at the door of the hall.
Not long after, I saw a group of Yu Linwei, who brought in a big ball on the wooden frame from outside the hall, and carried it into the hall and put it in the middle of the hall.
The ministers in the hall have never seen this object. I don't know what it is. They knelt on the ground and looked at this strange ball curiously. But if future generations see this thing, I'm afraid they will be able to call out the name of this thing immediately. Isn't this a large globe!
