Chapter 20 It turns out that someone came first
Back at home in this world, Chen Guo continued to make up for the lessons.
The tutoring lessons over the past two days have given Chen Guo a preliminary understanding of the situation in this world. This world, or the country where Chen Guo is now, is called the Ming Dynasty, and its full name is the Ming Empire.
Yes, it is the world of the Ming Dynasty, the old Zhu family that we are familiar with.
Simply put, Chen Guo felt that this world was a parallel space-time and space parallel to the earth's time and space, and its technological level was about 100 to 200 years ahead of the earth. In terms of historical development, before Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, it was almost exactly the same as that time and space on the earth... As for the difference in subtleties in history, Chen Guo was not a professional in history, so naturally he did not find it. To be honest, if he had not read online novels, Chen Guo didn't even know that "the water was too cold"... But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation had changed. The Chongzhen Emperor who was supposed to be hanging on the coal mountain suddenly changed his temperament a year before he hanged and actually played the Ming Dynasty's revival!
Internally, under extremely difficult circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen integrated the power within the capital with lightning speed and iron-blooded means. After killing the heads of several wealthy merchants, princes and wealthy people in the capital, he held more than 5 million taels of silver in his hand.
With money in hand, Emperor Chongzhen also established the Royal Academy of Sciences while training troops, and personally served as the president. It was stipulated that all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty would also serve as the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the future;
To the outside world, he proposed the famous struggle strategy with the Jurchens of "resistance step by step, abandonment in an orderly manner, and exchange space for time". Faced with the Jurchens invasion, he retreated to the south in an orderly manner through resisting, and stood firmly on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In this process, relying on the black gunpowder and tactics improved by Emperor Chongzhen, after spending the most difficult three years in the early stage, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army to fight back and pacified the mountains and rivers in the north.
Seeing this, Chen Guo had only one thought in his mind: Damn! This Emperor Chongzhen is probably a time traveler! He just doesn’t know if he is a time traveler or a black man.
After knowing that Emperor Chongzhen, who was later honored as Emperor Chongzhen, was a time traveler, and looking through history, Chen Guo could fully understand what Emperor Chongzhen did:
After eliminating the huge threat of the Jurchens and mastering a powerful armed force, Emperor Chongzhen unified his thinking internally, developed people's livelihood, and externally, Emperor Chongzhen vigorously expanded his territory. After 20 years, the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded several times!
Towards north, Emperor Chongzhen put the entire Siberian region into the arms of the Ming Dynasty;
Going west, Afghanistan is now called Afghan Autonomous Prefecture;
Toward the east, after crossing the Bering Strait, Alaska now and half of everyone near the Pacific became the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty;
Towards south, Emperor Chongzhen's fleet was all the south. Wherever he went, all countries bowed down and surrendered. Emperor Chongzhen's fleet continued to fight to Johor. Not only did he turn the entire South China Sea into the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty, but he also changed the strait where Johor was located to the Malacca Strait, and where did he build the first overseas enclave of Daming: Singapore...
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also improved the political system and took the initiative to restrict the imperial power. From Chen Guo's perspective, although there was an emperor in the Ming Empire, the emperor's rights did not reach the level of "one word and nine tripods", nor was it a monarch who had almost no rights in his hands, such as a constitutional monarchy country. It was between the two.
In addition, this Chongzhen Emperor seemed to be well aware of the principle of "policy comes from the barrel of a gun", and stipulated that any emperor of the Ming Empire would automatically become the commander-in-chief and supreme commander of the Ming army, and ensure the stability of his monarchy with absolute control over the army...
Because of all this he did, Emperor Chongzhen was also called Emperor Chongzhen by later generations...
It's done!
Not running away!
Seeing this, Chen Guo saw that it was ups and downs, and he had 100 affirmations in his heart: This Emperor Chongzhen is definitely a time traveler, and 90% of it is soul-piercing!
Of course, soul penetration is not the point, the point is that he did not embarrass time travelers and soul penetration people!
But time travelers cannot defeat the laws of history. Although Emperor Chongzhen was amazing, his descendants were not very successful. In the two world wars that broke out in the early 20th century and the mid-20th century, facing the wave of nationalism and independence that started around the world, the countries in Southeast Asia sought independence. Finally, after about 30 years of repeated disputes, the Ming Dynasty allowed the independence of Southeast Asian countries. At the cost, these countries must regard the Ming Dynasty as the sovereign state...
But what really made Chen Guo happy was the performance of the Ming Dynasty in the post-world war order of World War I and World War II:
Whether it was World War I or World War II, the Ming Dynasty was a victorious country, and the Ming Dynasty was the first country to master nuclear weapons and intercontinental bombers. The B-29 "Super Air Fortress" was a "little fat man" and "little boy" who were cast by Japan who was trying to escape from the Ming Dynasty.
The appearance of "little fat man" and "little boy" made World War II "end in advance" in 1941.
After seeing B-29, the little fat man and the little boy, Chen Guo began to seriously suspect that this is the evil taste of the soul-walking master. The Emperor Chongzhen must have left something for his descendants, and even demanded that the first two nuclear bombs must be called the little fat man and the little boy...
What kind of evil taste is this?!
Or is it that Emperor Chongzhen was using this method to tell the time travelers later: Boys, I’m here first, you guys later are all younger brothers!
Well...it's probably such a bad taste?
In addition, what made Chen Guo happy was that in addition to being the first country to invent a nuclear bomb, the first aircraft carrier was born in the Ming Empire; the first electronic computer appeared in the Ming Empire; the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the first nuclear-powered submarine also came from the Ming Empire; the several mainstream computer languages in the world today are Chinese; European and American countries are desperately promoting the alphabeticalization of computer programming languages; most importantly, these are the precious ideological legacy left by Emperor Chongzhen who looked at it 500 years ago and then 500 years later...
Let’s look at the current time, 2124 years...
Well, yes, very ok!
