Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 188 Xiao Bao is crazy? Centralize power to save the country? ! !
"Actually, if everyone here is thinking quickly, the answer will be readily apparent to you. I will give you a brief explanation here."

"Why the American continent lags behind the Eurasian continent starts with the nature of civilization."

"Communication and exchange are the most important ways for civilization to arise. This is also the most important feature that distinguishes humans from beasts. Only with communication and cooperation can humans engage in production, slash and burn, and obtain more resources and meat. Invent more tools to pass experience and knowledge from generation to generation.”

Bao Guowei talked eloquently, not only summarizing the contents of the book "Guns, Germs and Steel", but also explaining many anthropological results that he learned from later generations.

Not everyone may be able to use this knowledge, but the discussion of underlying logic is beneficial to every student's growth.

"In my opinion, this issue can be addressed from four aspects."

"First, they are food resources. Domesticable animal and plant resources are crucial to the development of agriculture. Eurasia has more domesticated animal and plant species, and the opening of various shipping routes has also brought about the spread of species diversity. Benefit.

Our ancient Silk Road and the modern Maritime Silk Road are proof of this. The introduction of potatoes and sweet potatoes also fueled the rule of the Qing government.

These provide the basis for population growth and civilization development."

"The second is the conditions for dissemination and migration. The geographical shape and climatic conditions of Eurasia are conducive to the spread of technology and culture, while the geographical isolation of the Americas and Africa limits this spread."

After nearly half an hour of explanation, the audience felt that their eyes suddenly became enlightened.

"Bao Bingwen is saying that the environment is often an important factor in determining development?"

If the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 could be victorious, then all the humiliation today might cease to exist, and China might still be able to stand tall in the world.

"Of course, the most important point is that you should probably know a piece of history. The reason why Europeans were able to conquer the American continent was not only because of their advancement in science and productivity, but also because of the germs they brought with them, such as smallpox and cholera. , yellow fever, etc., which killed off much of the young Native American workforce.”

"Long-term unification brought about a stable form of civilization and allowed the feudal rulers to be content with their current enjoyment. Peace allowed the former Qing government to weaken its armed forces. The Manchu rulers were always alienated from the people of the world. For them, the suppression of technology was Development is actually the need of feudal rulers.”

Bao Guowei continued.

"Mechanical?" Bao Guowei sneered on his face. "For the emperor in the palace, there are thousands of people helping them to work hard. They don't need to develop technology at all. They can also enjoy themselves. They don't care about the lives of the people."

Bao Guowei paused for a moment, just nodded slightly, and continued without answering directly.

But the audience in the audience was still a little confused. Only the history professor Liu Lao reacted and analyzed.

Speaking of this, many people in the audience had red eyes, because everyone had imagined that if the former Qing government was not so corrupt and incompetent, it could be like Japan during the Meiji Restoration.

"Why did the Chinese civilization lag behind in this competition and then be bullied by other civilizations? The conclusion is that the ecological environment is acceptable and the external factors are acceptable, but there is less luck and a lot more constraints."

"Mr. Bao, we know the reasons why Americans and Africans are backward, but we Chinese people have always existed on the Eurasian continent, why are we also backward? Is there really something called destiny?"

"Why is this so? This involves the category of biology. The civilizations of Eurasia have domesticated countless animals and turned them into domestic animals for a long time. Not only are the bacteria spread between people, but also the relationships between people and animals. After many plagues, people in Eurasia developed immunity to diseases that spread among themselves."

"The fourth is climate and temperature"

Suddenly another student raised his hand and asked.

"The third is area and population"

"For tribes in America, Africa and other places, these germs that they have never been exposed to are deadly!"

His question fits exactly what everyone has been worried about.

As soon as he said this, many students in the venue immediately understood, but there were still many people who had only a little understanding.

"Tatars are abominable!"

Some old people couldn't help but sigh.

Bao Guowei continued without emotion. "Compared to Western civilization at the same time, the divided continental civilization and the dangers of the ocean put them in continuous battles. From the Renaissance to the Age of Discovery, it was like the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period, with continuous progress in art, literature, and science. , coupled with the great voyage's plunder of wealth and resources from the outside world, jointly promoted the rise of Western civilization.

In comparison, their development of firearms and various weapons is actually a necessity. "

Another student stood up and said: "Mr. Bao, after listening to your explanation, I feel that I have benefited a lot. I even wrote several large pages in the notebook I brought."

The student shook the notebook filled with dense writing in his hand.

"But I still have a question. According to you, the rise of Western civilization is caused by various factors, especially the influence of the environment. Various reasons together constitute the cause of the rise."

"Then what should we do to continue to catch up? Or is this all destiny?"

After hearing this statement, many professors nodded their heads.

Dai Wangshu said with emotion: "From the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty to Mr. Sun's revolution later, countless capable people and lofty ideals have been pursuing the path to strengthen the country, but it is still like this today."

Speaking of this, many students who care about the country feel sad.

It is precisely because all roads are impassable that so many pioneers are pioneering and forging ahead. But now, where is the road?

Bao Guowei smiled and said: "In my opinion, it is useless to complain and sigh all the time. It is difficult to solve problems emotionally. Only by facing the problem head-on, analyzing the problem rationally, and starting to solve it can we truly achieve the goal."

"In this era, there are so many people who raise questions. Anyone can do it to criticize and judge. Too many people have failed this way. But when it comes to actually solving the problem, there are too few people with the ability to execute it. ."

"The Chinese nation started a little late, and there are many problems that cannot be overcome. But from the perspective of historical analysis, we will have the confidence to develop civilization and science and technology. How many times have we stood on top of the world? External factors have never been a factor for us. question."

"The only thing is that it takes time."

What Bao Guowei has to do is to put forward a goal with a clear direction in this chaotic period.

Wow~
"Well said! Mr. Bao speaks from the bottom of his heart!"

"As a Chinese, there is nothing I can't do!"

"Mr. Bao, please tell me more in detail!"

Thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the venue, and the students stood up one after another and clapped their hands vigorously, even if their palms turned red.

At this time, Bao Guowei made his final conclusion.

"How can it be done?"

"Centralize power! Parents!"

"For a country with such complex national conditions, there are too many different voices and different factors. Unlike small Western countries with few people, we also have too many problems that need to be solved.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal, we must have a centralized republican government centered on all ordinary people, not capital."

But after Bao Guowei made this final comment, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

hiss~
There were gasps from the venue.

With a "bang", the principal Zhang Boli fell to the ground and looked at Bao Guowei in disbelief, not expecting that the other party would make such remarks.

Non-capital? centralization? Ordinary people?
Isn’t it an American-style democratic election?
Is Bao Guowei crazy? ! !
