The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 123 The accumulation of original capital?Emperor Yongle: I have a long-lasting legacy, but my sun and moon will shine forever! !
[Afterwards, England experienced the Glorious Revolution, and the entire country transformed from an autocracy to a constitutional monarchy!The transformation of royal power from heaven to civil power provided rich nutrient soil for the establishment of the overlord's navy and the global trade network! 】

[After several mergers, England merged with surrounding countries to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain, referred to as the United Kingdom!Later, the British established the "East Indies Trading Company" in the name of the government. On the surface, it was trading, but in fact it was plunder! 】

[In the beginning, the company was mainly engaged in the trade of spices, cotton, silk and other crop raw materials. However, with the victory of the British-Dutch War and the acquisition of East India trading rights, the East India Company began to sell arms to India and gained the right to rule India! 】

[Since then, Britain has gradually taken over all national powers such as coining money, collecting taxes, and organizing the army, and gradually developed India into a British colony, which also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent rise of Britain! 】

"colony!Britain is simply a blood-sucking moth lying on the blood vessels of those countries! 》

"But I have to say, these cruel British guys can really make money!" 》

"These colonies definitely accounted for a large part of the credit for Britain's rapid start! 》

When they saw this, many people had already woken up.

This so-called Britain, empire...

They were clearly just a group of bandits who only robbed merchant ships at sea, but actually directly invaded other countries during civil strife.

Stealing the country's affairs in the name of helping?
This means...

Countless common people sneered, countless literati with lofty ideals criticized with words and writings, and countless generals drew their swords and cursed angrily!

However, the kings of all dynasties all fell into deep thought.

They have already seen the key, which is the suffocating benefits!
Could it be that the idea of ​​governing the country with Confucianism and governing the country with virtues has become empty talk?

Is plunder the only way to truly strengthen a country?
At this moment, countless kings were stunned on the spot.

First Emperor Ying Zheng: Although unifying the Central Plains means wiping out the six kingdoms, we are all of Central Plains descent, and this is the pattern that we must unite after separation!Was there ever any robbery?

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: The so-called opening up borders and expanding territories is true, but this righteousness cannot be compromised!

Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms: Colonization?My lord, I have a plan that will allow the rear to sit back and relax!
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City, finally woke up completely at this moment.

It doesn’t matter what kind of system or adventure it is!

All are methods chosen to make the country strong.

Just like this Queen Elizabeth.

So what if the bandits are turned into soldiers?As long as the fist in your hand is big enough, why don't you just explain the principles of the world in one sentence?

When he thought of this, the hesitation on Li Shimin's face completely disappeared.

A huge blueprint for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was slowly unfolding in his mind.

And the fulcrum of all this is the navy, the ship!
The New World is indeed too far away, and I don’t know how much manpower and material resources will be spent if we want to gain something!

but……

So what India is, isn’t it the current Tianzhu?
How could Li Shimin miss such a treasured land so close at hand?

Ming dynasty.

In the Forbidden City, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di suddenly fell silent at this moment.

As the emperor of a country, he will never be soft-hearted in making decisions at critical moments, let alone be affected by some vague benevolence, justice and morality.

At this moment, his attention has been completely attracted by the content of the marquee, especially after seeing the so-called colonization! "Colonize!"

Although he has not yet understood it in depth, Zhu Di already has a vague guess in his mind.

This is probably a completely different way of getting along with a country than the tribute system. If nothing else, it should be some kind of forced oppression!

And the description of the East India Company also moved Zhu Di's heart.

Trading and stuff like that, isn't that what Zheng He is doing now?
As for transforming the transaction into some kind of deeper "communication", it seems that another operation is required.

Zhu Di did not intend to become a blood-sucking worm lying on the blood vessels like that of Britain.

As the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, you still need to have the most basic imperial bearing!

It's nothing more than adding some more trade treaties on the basis of tribute.

This will be solved as long as Zheng He returns!

At the moment, what Zhu Di really needs to consider is how to use the resources of other countries as much as possible for the Ming Dynasty through trade.

Suppression by force?Maybe it’s a good choice!

Zhu Di seemed to see in his sight that a "sun never sets" Ming Empire was beginning to take shape!
"The Sun Never Sets Empire?"

"This name is related to the Ming Dynasty established by our ancestors, so it fits the situation very well!"

"Prince, you should have no reason to refuse now! Let the second son do the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo. When Zheng He comes back, I will leave it to you to make my power known overseas!"

"The next empire on which the sun never sets will be the Ming Dynasty! Our foundation will last forever, but my sun and moon will shine forever!"

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Di's laughter lasted forever!
……

【However!This company's greed is far beyond imagination. In order to obtain higher profits, it forces local farmers to switch to cotton, tobacco and poppy cultivation! 】

[Before the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of isolation and restricted the inflow of foreign goods!However, China's porcelain, tea, and silk had an excellent response in the international trade market. In order to make profits, the British chose to smuggle opium to break China's closed market! 】

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: I didn’t expect porcelain to be so popular overseas?The sun never sets and the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!

[As a result, a large amount of the Qing Dynasty's silver was lost overseas, which led to two Opium Wars, causing the Qing Dynasty's national power to decline in an avalanche, and eventually to its demise step by step! 】

Nurhaci: It turns out that the root cause of the Qing Dynasty’s demise was this Opium War?
Emperor Qianlong: My seclusion is indeed correct!
[Not only that, Britain is also carrying out the black slave trade overseas, which is unscrupulous! 】

[British merchants transported industrial products to Africa, traded them for black slaves, and then transported them to the Americas for sale. These slaves were responsible for reclaiming land and growing cotton, completely ignoring the human rights of black people! 】

[And the goods produced by the black slaves were shipped to Europe and sold to the European market!This trade route from Africa to America and then to Europe is also called the Great Triangle Trade. Through this method, Britain accumulated a large amount of original capital! 】

[It is reported that during the 400 years of black slave trade, Africa lost at least [-] million black people, and only about one-tenth of them could survive the long route to the Americas and become slaves! 】

"When I first learned about this part of history in the textbook, I didn't think it was that big, but now it seems that it feels heavy!" 》

"The road to Britain's fortune is really a history of blood and tears, but it's a pity that they are all the blood and tears of other countries!" 》

"The nature of a robber country is hard to change!" 》

"The accumulation of primitive capital cannot rely on so-called friendship and peace. Britain's rapid development must have been accompanied by countless blood! 》
