Suzanne's life trajectory was changed by a small radio.

Originally, she was supposed to help her father raise cattle on the farm in a small southern town.

However, with the broadcast of "The Voice of Ming Dynasty" and the performance of "Miss San Diego", Suzanne gradually realized that her life should not be limited to that small farm.

My own life should also not be dominated by the Western patriarchal society, and I should become a housewife, illiterate, and without any political power.

She also imagined that the Ming women depicted in movies and broadcasts would receive education, work in factories, earn their own living in a decent way, not be men’s vassals, and even become government officials.

So, one day, she quietly left the town and embarked on a journey to Daming.

The journey across the Wild West is long and dangerous, and it is nearly impossible for a lone woman to survive.

Fortunately, Susanna met the border guards of Ming Dynasty in Oklahoma. With their help, Susanna took the train to her dream place.

After going through many tests and paying unimaginable hardships, Susanna has come to where she is today.

At this time, she was wearing a dignified and capable improved Hanfu, and installed a delicate small instrument.

Xia Zhixin signaled to turn off the lights in front to reduce the brightness.

Then with a snap, a world map suddenly appeared on the white wall.

Compared to Ming citizens who are used to seeing movies, these Nanyang Chinese are obviously still a bunch of bumpkins. They were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the scene, and some even knelt down to worship the gods.

It took Xia Zhixin a lot of eloquence to explain that this is just a teaching tool.

Which is bigger, Ming or Qing?

Back then, he told Yan Fu that the Qing Dynasty was big and the Ming Dynasty was small, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the Qing Dynasty expanded its territory.

But now...

He turned his head to Wu Peng and said, "A great country has territory, people, and national strength, all of which are indispensable."

Xia Zhixin tapped the pointer and touched a begonia leaf: "Look at this Da Qing, the two masters of Kangxi and Gansu conquered their troops and killed a lot of people. The territory captured is indeed magnificent, but this is a paper dragon!

Cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight.Starting to look at the four realms, and the foreign soldiers are coming. Although the land of the Qing Dynasty is large, do you know how to look at the rich and the rich?It's nothing but a white-striped pig who has a body but is slaughtered! "

At this time, Li Moumou, who was eating coconut rice, suddenly raised his head subconsciously, looked around and found that nothing happened, so he lowered his head again and started cooking.

"The Raksha country is big and weak, and it is the weakest link of imperialism; France is called a European power, but it is actually an African rooster, and I am defeated by the Ming Dynasty; But the background is not enough to be regarded as a big country; as for the United States, Austria-Hungary, the Netherlands, the Liangya, and the Ottoman countries, such small and mediocre countries are not worthy of mention.”

In the end, Xia Zhixin used the pointer to cut across the Eurasian continent from the Ural Mountains to the Bay of Bengal, and said: "Your Majesty has long said: Although hundreds of clans are playing a game of competition, there are tens of thousands of chess pieces and only a few players. For power, only Daming and Yingji Guoer!"

Chapter 405 Strategic Binding

Rivalry with the British Empire!

If such words are told to the old farmers in Ganshan or Xianghu, they may not be too surprised.

After all, the inherent concepts left by the heavenly kingdoms for thousands of years have not had time to be completely destroyed by one defeat after another and certain literati hypnotized over and over again.

For these people who have never opened their eyes to see the world and have lived in a closed place all their lives, the Chinese Dynasty and the barbarians respected each other, which is already a very high regard for the barbarians.

The barbarians also want to kowtow to the emperor!

This is what the world in their hearts should look like.

But the closer they get to the capital and the southeast coast, the more people realize the strength of foreigners, especially the British.

For these Chinese and overseas Chinese in Nanyang or in British colonies, the British Empire is an indescribably terrifying existence.

If Zheng He and the Ming Empire behind that huge fleet are the old rulers in ancient memories, then the British Empire, which is in full swing, with a total area of ​​3400 million square kilometers and a population of 4 million under its rule, is a veritable true god of the world , Sea and land gods!

It actually rules 24.75% of the world's land area. The British Empire's territory is located in 24 time zones on the earth. The population is also similar to that of the Qing Dynasty, accounting for 1/4 of the world.

In addition to the actual territory, the area affected by its cultural influence and economic blood sucking is even wider.

"The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields, Canada and the Baltic Sea our woodlands, Australia our pastures, Peru our silver mines, South Africa and Australia our gold mines, India and China our tea Plantations, the East Indies are our sugar cane, coffee, spice plantations, and the American South our cotton plantations."

This is by no means empty talk, but the reality maintained by nearly 200 main warships all over the world.

Words like "power in the world only depends on wisdom and virtuousness" are undoubtedly a thunderbolt, making everyone's minds buzzing.

Fortunately, all the young people present were not only able to accept such rhetoric, but also excited about it.

It has to be said that young people are passionate and aggressive, lack awe of authority, but also lack more comprehensive thinking, and are easily agitated.

The Ming Dynasty's layout in Nanyang was to win over these young Chinese whose worldview had not yet been finalized, and whose fear and worship of foreigners had not yet penetrated into their bones, and to fight for the right to speak with the West.

Compared with his peers who gradually fell into frenzy, Gu Hongming frowned.

A feeling that everyone in the world is drunk and I am alone awake arises spontaneously.

To put it simply, as one of the few Chinese teenagers present who received systematic Western enlightenment education, he unlocked the skill of "independent thinking" without a teacher.

It is this skill that prevents Gu Hongming from easily becoming a spiritual prisoner of Western powers in history, and now, it also prevents him from simply falling into the ideological trend of Ming nationalism.

Indeed, Xia Zhixin was drawing cakes.

But he is definitely not purely drawing cakes.

The Coconut Juice Canning Company, the East Society, the Chinese Mutual Aid Organization, and the Daming Patriotic Education Fund are all actually planned and will be implemented soon.

These are the preliminary work for the division of the South China Sea into the Ming Dynasty and the South China Sea as the Taiping Inner Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

Deep plowing is required.

If it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and precautions of the British, and even terrorist persecution.

Daming already has relevant plans.

Although it does not have the strength to compete with the British in Nanyang for the time being, Daming objectively has a certain ability to protect the Nanyang expatriates.

This is not to say that once the British raised their butcher knives against the Chinese people in Nanyang, or ordered the Dutch and Spaniards to raise their butcher knives against the Chinese people, Ming would send a navy to Malacca to fight a war of protecting overseas Chinese with the British.

Such a war is extremely unfavorable to Ming Dynasty, and obviously it will not succeed.

But Daming has his own method, which is to bundle the meat ticket with strategic deterrence.

In later generations, there is a nuclear bundling strategy that has been spread on the Internet.

To put it simply, when Americans throw strategic nuclear weapons at us, we throw strategies and weapons at Russia, forcing Russia to use its huge nuclear arsenal to provide strategic nuclear protection to our country.

This kind of popular statement, but in fact the logic is very difficult to withstand scrutiny.

However, Zhu Fugui can learn from similar ideas.

In the words of the teacher, it is called you hit yours, and I hit mine.

In the professional terminology of e-sports, it is called a switcher of all tactics.

That is, the Ming navy was at an absolute disadvantage against the English navy, but the Ming army had a clear advantage in local wars.

Therefore, the 200 million British nationals who stayed in the British colonies in North America were the meat tickets in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

Once the British side could not ensure the personal safety of the Chinese nationals in Southeast Asia, Ming Dynasty would send a telegram to the world to announce the same countermeasures against the British immigrants in British Canada.

Although this is not as easy as going to the Thames and blood-staining Buckingham Palace, it is the most effective method that Ming can use when it is currently at a strategic disadvantage.

The future leaders of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who are loyal to Ming Dynasty are naturally qualified to know the strategies of these great power games at the national level.

But Xia Zhixin would never mention it in today's situation.

Ordinary Chinese teenagers don't think so much, but Gu Hongming can't help feeling a little exaggerated.

He raised his hand and stood up and asked: "Xia Jijiu, may I ask you just now that you have repeatedly accused Westerners of doing wrong and plundering all over the world, but as far as I know, Westerners came to Asia and brought advanced technology. Science and technology, the establishment of hospitals and schools, brought literature and manners.

For example, my godfather, Mr. Brown, is a devout believer who is always willing to help the poor and poor. What I have seen is not what you said! "

Gu Hongming's words quickly aroused huge controversy. Even before he finished speaking, he was hit on the cheek by a paper ball flying from nowhere.

However, this behavior was quickly stopped by the guards present.

Gu Hongming's stubbornness was also reflected. Under the excitement of the crowd, he looked straight at Xia Zhixin.

And the latter was not as angry as he imagined, but smiled and shook his head.

"First of all, I don't deny that there are good people in the Western world, just like the Chinese history, there are no shortage of independent husbands and thieves full of evil.

However, substituting temporary, partial, and trivial people and events into the major changes in the world today that have not been seen in 3000 years is to make a personal empiricist error of generalizing and catching a glimpse of the leopard. "

"This point is discussed in detail on page 75 of the Notes on the Living of the Holy Son of Heaven."

"As for your claim that Westerners have brought advanced science and technology to the world, this is even more nonsense."

"With the help of Wolong, the sage of the Ming Dynasty, I overcame obstacles and established the Royal Imperial College with the most reasonable discipline setting, the most complete categories, and the strongest teaching strength in the world from scratch. Its teaching level far surpasses that of Cambridge and Oxford."

"You know Sir Darwin who shook the scientific and theological circles of Europa with "The Theory of Evolution of Species", right?"

Gu Hongming nodded subconsciously.

He really knew Darwin.

Because of his opposition to creationism, Darwin was almost the public enemy of missionaries all over the world.

If it was hundreds of years earlier, it would definitely be the kind that would go to the stake.

However, after the Renaissance and the Reformation, Catholicism gradually declined.

After the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859, a large amount of territory of the Papal State was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, that is, Italy, leaving Rome as an isolated city.

And the reason why this city can stay is because of the filial son of God, the Second French Empire, and the great Napoleon III who sent troops to garrison.

Now His Majesty Nasan is visiting at the apartment in the Five Kingdoms City, and the French in Rome have also changed their flags and withdrew from Rome.

After 3 hours of bombardment, the Italian army smashed a gap in the city wall of Aurelius in Rome, then entered the city of Rome, and held a grand entry ceremony on the Appian Avenue.

His Majesty the Pope hid in the Vatican Castle, from a "Prisoner of Rome" to a "Prisoner of the Vatican".

Under such circumstances, Darwin did not follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and was not liquidated by religion.

On the contrary, Darwin also gained great fame as a tool of the emerging bourgeoisie against religious power.

Father Brown never accepts the theory that humans evolved from apes.

In order to overthrow Darwin's theory, Father Brown, like religious personnel all over the world, is repeatedly studying Darwin's theory in order to find evidence to overthrow it.

Therefore, the young Gu Hongming was also fortunate to know the name of Darwin and the general content of "The Origin of Species" earlier than Yan Fu.

In Gu Hongming's view, although Darwin's theory is not necessarily correct, it is undoubtedly very high-level, and it is the most advanced and cutting-edge knowledge in the world.

He didn't expect that Xia Jijiu, who looked so much like Mr. Private School, would know this.

What he didn't expect was that Xia Zhixin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little brother, I advise you to study Chinese characters hard. Learning foreign languages ​​is useless. If you can't write Chinese characters well in the future, you won't be able to become a scholar.

Hmm... I estimate that within half a year, you will be able to see the scene of Sir Darwin kissing the boots of our rich majesty in the newspapers. "

"But……"

Gu Hongming bit his lip, but still argued, "Godfather Brown told me that European civilization is the oldest civilization in the world, and he brought order to the whole world..."

"Shameless statement!"

This time, Xia Zhixin didn't give Gu Hongming any more face, "Hey man! Old bearded thief! Turning the deer into a horse, turning the turbidity upside down, I have never seen such a brazen person!"

Saying that, Xia Zhixin jumped off the podium.

Gu Hongming was taken aback, thinking that Xia Zhixin was coming to beat him.

Under the influence of Ming Dynasty's high-quality food and martial arts culture, even Xia Zhixin, a literary middle-aged man, was exercising daily, and he looked quite prestigious.

Fortunately, he didn't come down to beat people, but rummaged through a large box that Suzanne was guarding, and found a few slides.

Chapter 406 This World Is Cruel

When Lu Xun abandoned medicine and started writing, it was a slide at Sendai Medical College.

"I am in this lecture hall, but I have to rejoice in the applause and applause of my classmates. Once, I suddenly met many Chinese people whom I had not seen for a long time on the picture. One was tied in the middle, and many stood on the left and right. They were all the same. He has a strong physique, but shows a numb expression. According to the explanation, the one who was tied up was a military spy for Russia, and was about to be beheaded by the Japanese army to show the public, and the people around were to appreciate this grand display. people"

Therefore, Zhu Fugui understands the role of slides in publicity work.

Although the power is not as good as that of movies, it is short, flat, fast, flexible and convenient.

There is a whole box of slides, some of which were made by Xia Zhixin with the photos he took along the way.

But more were prepared by Zhu Fugui for them early in the morning.

After all, many photos are extremely difficult to take in this era, but similar old photos can be easily found on the Internet in later generations.

If the decapitation slides that Lu Xun saw were already shocking, then the slides that Xia Zhixin took out at this time simply make it impossible for any normal and conscientious person to look directly at them or take a deep breath.

These photos are from the Congo region of West Africa.
