I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

So this most powerful politician in the second half of the nineteenth century slapped another entourage who was sneakily reaching for the light bulb, and then couldn't help but sighed:

"To be with this group of insects, but also to do a good job in politics, it's too difficult for me to be old!"

Chapter 432 A Day Trip to Fengdu

The light bulb incident in the guest house was just a small accident. The visits of the Prussian delegation to various places in Fengdu went very smoothly that afternoon.

The only unharmonious scene mainly happened in the Royal Museum of Ming Dynasty.

When Bismarck asked enthusiastically where the Prussian culture was displayed, the little interpreter of Honglu Temple felt a little worried for a while.

Because the construction and layout of the Royal Museum is centered on China, it is divided into Huaxia Pavilion, Zhuxia Pavilion, Barbarian Pavilion, and Animal Pavilion.

The Western European culture group where Prussia is located is naturally located in the animal hall.

The English translation is called 【Birds and Beasts】.

After thinking for a long time, the little translator could only tell Bismarck that the Prussian cultural exhibition is in [Hall 2B].

This made Bismarck very happy.

2B, as soon as you hear it is the number, 2B should still be a relatively high number.

It seems that the Ming people really attached great importance to Prussia and were very friendly.

Because Zhu Fugui’s national gift was more generous than expected, Bismarck also took this opportunity to express that when he returned to China, he would apply to His Majesty William I to donate a batch of precious cultural relics from the Teutonic Knight period to Hall 2B of the Royal Museum of Ming Dynasty to enrich the collection. .

In addition to visiting the museum, the Prussian Junkers were very interested in Tianziyan Square.

On the huge Simeinan mountain, the four outstanding emperors of the Ming Dynasty overlook this great city, and their faces will be known by all people.

This is the romance of a man!

Many Junkers with mountains in their fiefs are already thinking about it. After returning to China, they will make one for themselves, which is more interesting than erecting bronze statues.

As for the aluminum bronze statues they saw in the central square, they were all amazed, feeling deeply at the wealth of Daming.

The visit to Fengdu brought a strong visual impact to these Prussians.

Especially those workers riding bicycles and wearing crisp, high-quality blue overalls shocked Bismarck deeply.

Although he hadn't visited Daming's barracks before, Bismarck could already imagine what the military looks like from the sturdy and aggressive children to the energetic workers.

……

The next day was the day when the Prussian mission visited the barracks.

And the one who showed them around today was none other than Zhu Fugui, the Son of Heaven and the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses.

This time the Prussians came to Fengdu for a secret operation, so it is not appropriate to conduct a public military parade to show force. Zhu Fugui will take them directly to the military base in Xinjin.

This time I went from Fengdu to Xinjin, not by train, but by car.

The performance of all agricultural three-wheel reforms of later generations is much better than that of Rising Sun cars.

It was the first time for Bismarck to sit in such a stable car, and he couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi, so he drove it himself.

In fact, these cars drive smoothly. In addition to the high quality of agricultural tricycle engines and tires, it is also related to the quality of Fengjin Expressway.

Four or five years ago, when Daming had just conquered Bremerton Port and renamed it Xinjin, he began to prepare for the construction of the Fengjin Expressway.

However, due to the limited national power of Ming Dynasty and the shortage of manpower at that time, after repeated weighing, Zhu Fugui adopted the advice of Geng Ministry of Industry and built the Fengjin Highway according to the standard of Tianzhu-level expressway.

Daming expressways are graded from low to high, and are currently divided into the following categories: Tianzhu grade, Qin-Han grade, Sui-Tang grade, and Ming grade.

Whether Song is included in Tang and Song or Song and Ming is controversial. In the end, it simply did not rely on both sides and disappeared in place.

In later generations, Fu Sinian divided Chinese history into three empires in his "Research on the Periodization of Chinese History".

Namely: First Chinese Empire: Qin and Han Dynasties - Second Chinese Empire: Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties - Third Chinese Empire: Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Internet age, everyone naturally continued the Fourth Chinese Empire.

For this kind of statement, Zhu Fugui has a choice to absorb some and use it in historiography education.

In any case, Tianzhu-level roads are the lowest level, and they belong to the middle and lower level among rammed earth roads.

But relying on this road, Ming Dynasty completed the establishment of the Xinjinwei Fortress Group and the Zhuqinuo Line of Defense.

Although these fortifications seem redundant as the border of the Ming Dynasty continues to move eastward, they are still the last barrier to defend the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, the original Tianzhu-class road has been replaced by a hardened road surface covered with asphalt, and the scene of the original engine being filled with dust when the engine is turned on no longer exists.

Galloping on such a high-quality road, Bismarck couldn't help but start thinking about the future of Prussia.

Due to the disruption of Napoleon I, Poland, which had completely disappeared from the map, was revived again.

Although Russia and Prussia jointly suppressed it, the Poles have never been able to achieve much, but once the Prussians turn their attention to the West, the Poles will always be ready to move.

These Polish donkeys will be an unstable factor in the Franco-Prussian hegemony.

However, Prussia lacks sea control, and it is difficult to quickly transport troops through the navy like Britain and France.

To solve this fatal flaw and realize flexible two-line combat, high-quality railways and roads are essential.

Bismarck had already seen Daming's railway before, but now, he suddenly discovered that Daming's road is also so sweet.

It is indeed a nation that can build the Great Wall.

If it is possible to hire a civilian road construction team from Daming, perhaps it will be more useful than hiring two mountain divisions from Italy and Switzerland?

If Gu Weijun at the Paris Peace Conference in later generations heard this statement, he would surely be filled with emotion.

In World War I, the Beiyang government recruited 14 laborers from Shandong to the European battlefield.

The "sick man of East Asia" in the eyes of these Europeans has shown amazing, or in other words, for the Chinese people of later generations, a strong working ability that should be taken for granted, which is far better than European laborers and laborers recruited by Europeans from other colonies Much more useful.

In the end, these laborers exchanged a 1/3 death rate for a sentence from the foreigner.

Other than that, there is nothing left.

The strongest labor without the support of guns is really worthless.

The only thing to be gratified about is that the French men suffered heavy losses after World War I, and many surviving Chinese laborers returned to China after a few degrees of spring breeze.

This may be the only gain of China's participation in World War I.

But in this time and space, Bismarck was more than 40 years ahead of schedule, and he started to recruit Chinese workers to join the war in Europe.

It's a pity that Bismarck can only want to fart.

What Daming lacks most now is people. They are building large-scale infrastructure construction everywhere, and they have no interest in aiding the construction of the Prussian road network.

Let's talk about this kind of thing after Daming has built 300 million kilometers of roads in China!

Daming now has more than 400 million square kilometers of land in North America alone that urgently needs construction.

This is equivalent to 1.5 world powers, 44 cosmic powers, and 73 vast territories of the Tongliao Empire. Where would the Ming Dynasty send idlers to Prussia to build roads and bridges.

Chapter 433 Junkers' Confidence in the System, Zhu Fugui's Package of Foreign Trade

There is already a highway bridge across the Hood Waterway from Fengdu to Xinjin, so the driving distance between the two places has been shortened to 60 kilometers.

In about one hour, two and 10 minutes, the convoy arrived at the destination, a station of a certain unit of the Xinjin Agricultural Reclamation and Construction Corps.

Because in the previous itinerary list, the Prussian side already knew that the place they were going to was a military important place.

As a result, after arriving, there was an endless field and continuous low buildings in front of us.

What came from the building was the long-lost smell and the cry of pigs.

This made the Prussians look at each other in dismay.

For these Junkers, the smell and the sound are all too familiar.

Didn't you agree to visit the barracks?

They heard that the Ming people had a ferocious armored chariot, and they wanted to see the real face. Why did the chariot turn into a pig?

Bismarck was thoughtful, and seemed to understand His Majesty Zhu Fugui's good intentions.

Zhu Fugui also explained with a smile: "Everyone, this is a real military unit of the Royal Army, and it is the most important production base for maintaining the safety of meat in our country."

"Since Cao Mengde, the famous patriotic prime minister of the Chinese Han Empire, invented the farming system, we Chinese have a tradition of combining farming and warfare, and have achieved numerous victories. In fact, the Junker Manor in your hometown also coincides with the farming system?"

Zhu Fugui was talking nonsense with half-truths and half-fakes. Fortunately, his German level is not good, otherwise, just translating these nouns would make the translator despair.

Not to mention, the Junkers, who are landlords in the countryside on weekdays and became officers after being conscripted, are all happy.

They have always been despised by the emerging bourgeoisie and all kinds of young artists, and they suffer from their low level of education, so they have no way to retaliate, and they can't scold those scholars.

Now, when I heard Zhu Fugui's theory, I suddenly felt enlightened, and my pulse was at ease.

The Emperor of China was right!

This is the military system of the Han Empire, which was born at the same level as Rome in the Roman era!

In the Roman classics, the Han Empire is extremely praised, and the latter is considered to be a model of an excellent system.

Of course, the people of the Han Dynasty also gave Rome the highest evaluation for foreigners in the history of the Chinese Celestial Dynasty: "It is like China."

These are all the new knowledge that the Junkers just learned in the Royal Museum yesterday.

Combined with Marshal Zhu's introduction to the farming system, doesn't this mean that the Junker Manor is the orthodoxy recognized by Rome?

Those ignorant little boys in the country, those fat capitalists, they know nothing!

The Junkers suddenly found a confidant and a theoretical basis, and finally became confident in the system.

Of course, Bismarck was not as superficial as the Junkers. He pondered: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Prussia, as a forest country, should further develop the pig industry to enhance the security of domestic meat supply?"

Zhu Fugui nodded and said, "That's right, Prime Minister, you should know that the ancestors of the Germans walked out of the Black Forest with pigs in their arms and interacted friendly with the Romans, right?"

Bismarck certainly knew this history.

When the Germans went out to war, they always carried pigs with them. Pigs were the most important property and source of meat for the Germans.

In a sense, at the same time, Chinese people preferred to eat beef and mutton.

It is said that it is because the taste of pork that has not been castrated is not good.

But the Germanic people certainly don't know how to pigtail. Not only do they not feel fishy, ​​but they are even used to eating it raw.

It can be said that the love for pork is deep and pure.

And with the development of the times, the Germans' love for pork remains unchanged, and the annual consumption of pork in Prussia is still an astronomical figure.

In other words, pork really mattered to the security of the Kingdom of Prussia.

What is the fight?

It's logistics!

Prussia can live without milk bread, but not without pork!

But the problem is that such a key strategic resource is actually stuck in the hands of the British.

Since the eighteenth century, the British began to select for the breeding goal of fat deposition ability.

From 1770 to 1860, the British began to select local pigs, Chinese pigs and Siamese pigs as parents, taking into account the advantages of early maturity and fast fattening, and formed some original strains.

The advantages of these pigs over Prussian local pigs are too great, and Bismarck's father needs to ask British pig merchants to borrow breeds every once in a while.

But now, Zhu Fugui gave them a new choice.

Shimura's Great White Pig will surely become popular in Prussia and the German states!

As expected, many Junkers, including Bismarck, who have rich experience in raising pigs, when they saw the plump buttocks, plump waist, and charming little eyes of the Shimura Daishiku, they immediately fell in love with him. All are hopelessly lost.

They are sure that this elegant and charming Shimura pig is what the Prussians dream of!

Zhu Fugui observed their hard-to-disguise expressions and smiled slightly, knowing that this deal could not be lost.

In the so-called modern agriculture, whoever can control the seeds can win all.

In later generations, it seems that there are farmers working hard all over the world, but there are actually only a handful of countries that can truly be called food independent.

The seeds of global food are in the hands of a few multinational companies, and they also monopolize the international food trade. As long as a few people nod, the global food price will fluctuate greatly, and the labor fruits of a large number of backward countries will be wiped out instantly. Deprived of time.

Even in a large agricultural country like China, seed safety is barely achieved through the efforts and accumulation of generations of agronomists.

The same is true in animal husbandry.

Breeding pigs are not a one-off sale. It is not that you can solve the problem once and for all by buying one or two breeding pigs.
