I became famous for broadcasting my life as a social animal to different dynasties

【Conquest begins with being conquered.】

[The Iberian Peninsula has been plagued by wars. This land has been conquered by various powerful invaders, but the people here have never stopped fighting.]

【Two thousand years of tears, trauma and struggle finally brought freedom. An independent monarchy came into being in the war to recover the territory. It was recognized by the Pope of Rome and was the first unified nation-state to appear on the European continent.】

Ying Zheng was a little strange. It took him more than 2,000 years to complete a unified country...

To be honest, it's pretty useless...

In the Central Plains, who knows how many dynasties have changed in more than two thousand years, and judging from the sky, they were basically unified dynasties!

So later it was invaded by the country that had just completed unification after more than 2,000 years. How useless were the dynasties of later generations!

Rubbish!

Ying Zheng was so angry that he wanted to destroy the dynasty that was holding him back!

What is a monarchy? Isn't the monarch the emperor? Why does he need the recognition of the Pope?

If he doesn't recognize it, then this country cannot be established.

If this isn’t being controlled by others, then what is!

It was the first unified country in that place, it is indeed a wild place!

From the decline of the Zhou royal family, the rise of the princes to my unification of the world, this period was only about 500 years, so it took more than 2,000 years for Europe to be unified...

Ying Zheng shook his head again, what a barren land.

Liu Bang also frowned when he heard this. It took more than 2,000 years to achieve unification...

What a waste.

That Pope is very intriguing. The unification of a country actually requires his approval.

Then why didn’t the Pope unify the entire peninsula himself?

Strange place.

[But there is still a long way to go before the country becomes strong. Portugal is small in size, and lacks development space and resources. So they turned their attention to the vast ocean.]

[Under the leadership of the navigators, Portugal started its journey to conquer the sea. It was the sea route that helped Portugal escape poverty and backwardness. ]

The land is too small, so the only way to develop is to expand outwards...

Liu Che suddenly realized, then took out the map and looked at it. The vast Central Plains region occupied most of it.

He raised his head and asked Sang Hongyang: "How big is that country?"

"It's less than 100,000 square kilometers. According to the conversion on the sky screen, it is equivalent to the size of Kuaiji County." Sang Hongyang replied.

“……”It’s so small, no wonder it has to expand outward.

Sun Quan had never been so excited as he was now. He seemed to see his own naval forces galloping across the ocean and conquering the world.

No one like Liu Bei or Cao Cao can compare to the vast world outside!

Li Shimin stood up and heard a word that he would remember forever: science!

Yes! It is this word that later generations once said that science can make a country strong!

So this small country has become strong because of science.

So what exactly is science?

【Spices were an important resource for Europeans, used to preserve food. However, the lucrative spice trade was monopolized by the Arabs, and then cut off by the rising Ottoman Empire. Both religious and secular businesses hoped to find strong measures to reverse the situation.】

[So they turned their attention to the ocean. The Portuguese prince was a man of great talent and had many talented people under him. They improved the Chinese compass and the ships used for navigation.]

The various dynasties suddenly fell silent.

Compass, Sinan.

This was something that was invented as early as the Warring States Period. It was then spread to faraway Europe, where people improved it and used it to conquer the world!

And what they are doing...

Ying Zheng: Busy with unification.

Liu Bang: Busy destroying Qin.

Liu Che: Busy fighting.

Liu Bei: Busy restoring the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao: Busy using the emperor to control the princes.

Sun Quan: Busy building a country.

Sima Yan: Busy usurping the throne.

Yang Jian: Busy consolidating power.

Li Shimin: Busy building a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin: Busy recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Kublai Khan: Busy expanding territory.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Busy resuming production.

Zhu Di: He was busy sailing to the West to promote the country's prestige. The only thing related to the ocean was just a stroll out and he came back.

Kangxi: Busy consolidating the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong: Busy becoming a perfect man.

Yongyan: Busy cleaning up the mess...but I can never finish it...

[Under the command of the Portuguese prince, the navigators crossed Cape Bojador on the coast of West Africa. Compared with the mixed fleet of Zheng He of China, the two or three Portuguese sailing ships were insignificant, but with their adventurous nature, strong desire for wealth, and strong religious enthusiasm, the Portuguese broke through the psychological and physiological limits of the European sailing world in the Middle Ages. ]

Looking at Zheng He's fleet being brought out for comparison once again, Zhu Di suddenly felt his face burning.

Why is his fleet so powerful but not as good as a few broken sailing ships of a small country?

Because the purpose of sailing is different!

He wanted to publicize the Ming Dynasty's national prestige to neighboring countries, while the other side was fighting for survival resources!

One is full of arrogance, the other is full of hunger and thirst. Whoever can create a miracle better? It is naturally the one who is willing to sacrifice his life for survival!

The other dynasties looked disgusted: Such a good opportunity is gone just like that!

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Zhu Di. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and there was no need to expand outward for resources.

However, it would be a pity to stop at the ocean and miss the opportunity to enter the world.

[As the Portuguese moved south along the west coast of Africa, a steady stream of gold, ivory, and African pepper flowed into the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, filling the national treasury.]

[In the nearly 100 years when Portugal was making great efforts to profit from ocean exploration, other parts of Europe were still fighting openly and secretly in the isolation of the Middle Ages.]

[Scotland and France have not yet formed a unified country, and the nobles are constantly fighting. There are hundreds of states of varying sizes scattered across the German territory. Italy is enjoying the last good times brought about by traditional trade. Portugal's neighbor Spain is fighting to recover its territory.]

Gold! Ivory! Spices!

Who doesn’t want these things, but where do these things come from?

Don't say that the people of the lands they went to saw them off with open arms.

If it's not a gift, then we can only plunder it.

How to plunder?

It must be a more advanced weapon than the local ones.

It’s just like the current dynasty encountering the powerful guns and cannons of later generations!

Zhao Kuangyin was astonished. After more than 100 years of accumulation, how rich would such a country be in the end?

If it were in the Central Plains, could we get back another Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?

Some people also despise it, thinking it is a barren land without the enlightenment of saints!

However, Kublai Khan felt that a small country like this without Confucian rule had advantages that Confucian rule did not have, and he did not need to take so many rules into consideration.

He can achieve his goal unscrupulously and by any means necessary!

It is OK for small countries, but it is not suitable for the Central Plains.
