"When those soldiers from the bottom of the Hunan Army had no combat or training tasks at all, they would gather together to listen to... storytellers tell stories..."

"The so-called storytellers are actually those older veterans in the army... At first I thought they were all telling myths and legends, but later I asked others and found out that those people were telling stories from history thousands of years ago..."

"Yes, those veterans don't know a few words, but they can tell allusions from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and classic war examples from the Three Kingdoms Period..."

"Yes! That's right... This situation is not true in Europe, but the number is very rare, especially the bottom of Europe has no interest in history at all..."

"But it is not in China. China is the most impoverished bottom class to the court officials, and they all have a very rich historical knowledge reserve..."

"What scares me even more is that they are born interested in this thing, they love to listen and talk..."

"Although I know very well that those illiterate soldiers inferred current political judgments through some historical allusions are all wrong..."

"But what is scary is this habit. Even if their analysis is wrong, even if their historical knowledge is full of loopholes... But this habit is too terrible!"

"Of course you can laugh at those drunk and nonsense all about wrong theories... Yes, you can laugh at them at will, but you can't laugh at the Chinese's habit..."

"Even if nine out of ten people are talking to brag, suddenly a person with real talent and knowledge appears, and this tenth proportion will make the whole of Europe tremble..."

"If a country with a population of 300 million has a reserve of one-tenth of elites, or excellent seeds... then how can you defeat this country?"

It's really good that he is an explorer who can leave his name in history. His perspective on the problem is so tricky. As soon as he discovers the very different attributes of Chinese civilization and other civilizations.

Chinese civilization attaches too much importance to history, and no one needs to publicize or encourage the entire people. The people spontaneously have a very strong interest in history.

An old farmer in the fields, a veteran of the beacon tower in the north of Mobei, a business traveler who travels all over the world, a craftsman who works hard day and night... Even if he is a despicable gangster, he has grown up from childhood listening to the historical stories passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to become famous masters, because they feel that the pace of their historical exploration of most people has been stuck in novels and legends, and many analysis is also made up.

But don’t forget that any elite emerges from the big base! With such a large size in China, one percent and one thousandth of the elites rising are so huge that they are unimaginable!

Samuel Beck sighed, "What are the benefits of studying history? Many people in Europe just don't understand what the benefits are. They really don't understand what happened between Egypt, Greece and Rome thousands of years ago and what has to do with them?"

"This kind of thing is not eaten or drunk, nor can it be transformed into gold, silver and treasures... What's the use?"

The explorer shook his head helplessly, "They don't understand, because only Chinese people can understand the benefits..."

"The greatest advantage of nations that are proficient in history and those who love history... is actually that it is not easy to deceive!"

"Old friend, can you understand... I can vaguely feel that all the conspiracies and tricks that we Europeans have given to China cannot be regarded as conspiracies..."

"Because all the conspiracies have actually been seen through by the Chinese... We can defeat the Chinese now because of the power brought by the industrial revolution. After all, it is because the fists are hard enough, and they are just bowing their heads for the time being!"

"We can suppress China with our strength, but we cannot deceive China with our strategy... because everything that happens right now is actually just a repetition in history!"

"In the eyes of those top Chinese literati strategists who are proficient in history, our strategy is actually just a real battle that happened thousands of years ago!"

Gordon finally recovered at this time, "Oh... Samuel... In fact, your summary is also redundant... because the Chinese had already summarized your principles a thousand years ago..."

"I just thought of the old saying, "Use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall!" This is what an emperor of the Tang Dynasty said!"

This is a bit embarrassing. Samuel chewed on Li Shimin's famous sayings and thought about it carefully. It turned out that he had said a lot of Balabara. The ancient Chinese had already condensed this truth into nine words!

It's scary or not! The layman couldn't see anything, but Samuel and Gordon were all cold, which was even cooler than the temperature outside the snow nest!

It took a long time before Gordon said, "The Prime Minister chose you to come to Asia, it makes sense... Your perspective on the problem is really tricky... I hope that the big guys in London can also hear you!"

Behind Gordon is the Queen of England, and who is behind Samuel Baker? It's nothing more than Prime Minister Gladstone or former Prime Minister Benjamin, or both.

The changes in Asia really make Britain worried. Both the queen and the top politicians have sent their spies!

"Samuel, how do you think you should break the racial talent of the Chinese?"

Samuel shook his head, "It's not that simple. How can a profound civilization of thousands of years be defeated by our generation or a country?"

"The Qing Dynasty has spent two hundred years confronting this habitual force... What is the result? Once you encounter historical opportunities, the Han warlords will still emerge!"

"This is the scary thing about Chinese people. I can say so clearly... In China, you don't need to be a professional in an industry. You can do everything as long as you are a very good historian!"

"Is Zeng Guofan a military strategist? I think he is not. He is actually just a historian... all the ways he has emerged from the rise of the army, how can he fight against the Qing Dynasty center, decentralize power, and become a warlord force of the Han people..."

"This set is something that has historical ready-made experience to learn! They just need to carefully study the rise and fall of all dynasties..."

"For these Han warlords, history books are actually just textbooks for rebellion!"

"Do you think this kind of culture is scary or not?"
