Chapter 92: The British Empire's Prosperity Years Ago

Li Ranran scrolled down the recommendation page and saw an eye-catching title.

[The British Navy 100 Years Ago]

(As the super-burning BGM sounded, a strong picture emerged)

[The British Navy was officially established in 1546.

In 1588, in a fight for wealth with Spain, the British Navy launched a long-range artillery battle and defeated the Spanish "Invincible Armada" in one fell swoop.

From then on, Britain embarked on the path of colonial expansion.

Starting from 1652, Britain fought three large-scale naval battles with the "Sea Coachman" the Netherlands.

In 1763, Britain won the Seven Years' War between Britain and France. Britain acquired the French North American colonies and established its dominance in India.

It gained maritime hegemony and became the largest colonial empire in the world.

The Treaty of Vienna in 1815 marked Britain's complete victory over France on the ocean.

In the mid-19th century, the British Royal Navy was the most powerful navy in the world.

Although Britain won the two world wars in the 20th century, it was also severely damaged.

The last glory of the British Empire. 】

< I have to admit that Daiying was really strong before, and the Qing Dynasty deserved to lose>

< I wonder if the current British navy will recall themselves a hundred years ago [dog head]>

< I have a question. Since the British navy was so strong a hundred years ago, its navy must be even stronger now [dog head]>

<The UK has become more arrogant [laughing and crying] The mainland is clamoring for independence>

< About the British Royal Navy joke:

During World War I, German spies were counting the Royal Navy ships leaving Portsmouth Harbor. One, two, three, four, five, six. Something bad is going to happen! The First Squadron of the Royal Navy is leaving the port!

During World War II, German spies counted the Royal Navy ships leaving the port at Portsmouth. One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh no! The Royal Navy's Home Fleet has set sail!

Now a military enthusiast is counting the Royal Navy ships leaving Portsmouth Harbor. One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh my! The Royal Navy is out in full force! ! >

<The sun of the British Empire has finally set [eating melon]>

< It's a bit sad. Which country in history didn't have a glorious and prosperous period? But a country is like a person. Don't live in the past forever>

<Daily Question: When will the British Museum return our cultural relics! >

< Pirates, robbers >

<Why doesn’t this background music match the navy of our country a hundred years ago~ >

<emm, I hope you are talking about the Ming Dynasty Navy [covering face] >

< Zheng He sailed to the West, enhancing the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and all nations came to pay tribute. The Yongle period was definitely the peak of the Ming Dynasty>

<In ancient times, people paid little attention to the ocean>

< At least before the Tang and Song dynasties, China's maritime trade was actually very small. >

<It’s still because of backward technology. In ancient times, the benefits of the ocean were far lower than those of agriculture. Moreover, the cost of failure was too high. Look at the Yuan Dynasty’s conquest of Japan, which was completely destroyed by a storm…>

<Even if Zheng He sailed to the West, we know that this model is not sustainable. The cost of maintaining the fleet and the cost of maintaining the ocean trade routes are too high…>

< In ancient times, land trade was safer and more profitable than the sea, so of course land was the choice >

<Looking through some documents, we can see that the ancients had a fear of the sea>

< Maritime civilization is not determined by the living environment. Look at the Vikings. What else can they do if they don’t develop this area>

<It cannot be said that the ancient Chinese had no awareness of the ocean. The Maritime Silk Road in the Song Dynasty made a lot of money, and pirates were rampant in the Ming Dynasty (the Han people were the majority). It’s just that the ruling class was unwilling>

< After all, it takes 30 years for the army, 50 years for the air force, and 100 years for the navy. Once the navy lags behind, it is difficult to catch up>

<Give our ancestors a world map, maybe now the whole world will speak Chinese [laughing and crying]>

……

Emperor Yongle Zhu Di became increasingly curious and could not help but blurt out, "The British Empire was the country that defeated the Qing Dynasty? Could Zheng He have visited there during his voyage to the West?"

Suddenly, this sentence appeared on the light screen in the form of a barrage.

[Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di: The British Empire was the country that defeated the Qing Dynasty? Could Zheng He have visited the Western Ocean during his voyage?]

???

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and others all looked at Yongle Emperor Zhu Di. The words on the screen were exactly the same as what His Majesty had just said...

Zhu Yuanzhang in another time and space glanced at Prince of Yan Zhu Di who was standing obediently in front of him and snorted coldly.

"Stupid. Isn't Britain the Britain mentioned before during the Opium War?"

Prince of Yan Zhu Di suppressed his shock. This Emperor Yongle is my future self?!

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not surprisingly posted on the screen [Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang: Stupid. Isn't Britain the Britain mentioned before in the Opium War?]

!!!

People of different dynasties also discovered that the light curtain seemed to have a new function...

It seems that I can put what I said on the light curtain in the form of barrage, and it turns out that the light curtain connects different time periods.

[Qin Shi Huang·Ying Zheng: I saw a comment that mentioned that it takes 30 years for the army, 50 years for the air force, and 100 years for the navy. It seems that it is not easy to build a navy.]

[Ming Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: @Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng I have treasure ships, don’t worry! Also, are you really Qin Shi Huang?!]

[Qin Shi Huang·Ying Zheng: @Yong Le Emperor·Zhu Di I am indeed Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Yong Le, can you tell me what your treasure ship looks like?]

……

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the conversation between the two people on the screen and wondered if this so-called treasure ship was from his own Longjiang Shipyard.

If my son can do it, then of course I can do it too.

……

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng had a general understanding of Zheng He's treasure ships sailing to the West from the light curtain, but from a realistic perspective, it was still a bit difficult for the Qin Dynasty to do so.

Sighing slightly, he said, "Draw it carefully and save it."

"How long will the light curtain stay?"

……

Ming Dynasty, Yongle 13th year

"I am willing to go out to sea again to explore Britain this time." The eunuch Zheng He came to Zhu Di and volunteered.

Zhu Di was very happy: "Zheng He, let's take a closer look at the details of this voyage..."

……

[Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Hongli: @Daoguang Emperor, Aixinjueluo Minning, So have you solved the problem of opium now?]

Qianlong asked Daoguang several times in a row, which forced Daoguang Emperor Minning, who wanted to ignore it, to answer stiffly. [Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Aisin-Gioro Minning: In reply to the emperor, your grandson is working hard]

[Lin Zexu, Imperial Commissioner in the 18th year of Emperor Daoguang’s reign: We will never allow foreigners to invade the territory of the Qing Dynasty!]

……

Tang Dynasty, the second year of Zhenguan

"The British navy used to be very strong, but now it has declined."

"The Chinese Navy has been developing before, and now it has developed..."

Li Shimin sighed.

Wei Zheng said: "In times of peace, be prepared for danger. Just like Li Longji had the Kaiyuan Prosperity, but also the Anshi Rebellion..."

Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng. He knew that the emperor didn't like Li Longji, but still mentioned him. This guy really doesn't know how to speak.

Li Shimin did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he nodded and said, "You are right. Prosperity is not temporary. Everyone has glorious moments. Don't forget the past and develop the present."

……

People from all dynasties watched the cross-time and space chat on the screen and suddenly became excited.

[In the 24th year of the Kaiyuan Period of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Dai, a Chang'an resident: My God, these are really all emperors]

Luo Dai, an ordinary citizen, did not expect that his words would also be sent to the light curtain.

Surprised, "I can talk to the emperor now!"

After watching Luo Dai's operation, people around him immediately tried it.

"Hey, my words can also be posted on the light screen!"

"It's just that the prefix is ​​so long..."

Suddenly someone asked: "Aren't they dead?" He had just seen the barrage of comments about Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian.

"So, this light curtain is not just for us to see, but also for our past and future?!"

……

While everyone was discussing, another vote came up.

At the end of the video comments [Q: Why is Britain called the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets?

A. Own a large number of colonies around the world

B. Defeated all the countries in the world through military force

C. The British like the sun and use it to describe themselves

D. The sun never sets in Britain]
