The endless crowds, corpses everywhere, thick blood, desolate smoke, confused the entire Calais Hong Kong area... Lan Yong had seen too many life and death, and even the battle of fishing sea did not make him hesitate, but this time he was really frightened.

"Transfer my orders, no matter men or women, we must mobilize them, and no one is allowed to be lazy. We must rely on ourselves and last for three months!" Lan Yong was not sure whether the reinforcements from the court could arrive. Maybe they would never wait, but it doesn't matter.

As a nail nailed to the continent, they would rather die than give up.

At that time, the Ming fleet defeated the British navy with the power of a fierce man from the sky, severely damaged the French armed forces, and established a stronghold in Calais, ending the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France ahead of schedule.

In the initial stage, the nobles of the continental states remained welcome.

They could get the silk, porcelain, and countless luxury goods they longed for from the Ming merchants to provide the lives of the superior nobles.

It was a very pleasant time.

The ladies dress themselves in luxury with gorgeous silk and exquisite jewelry. They sat in carriages, patrol the territory, and went to visit distant relatives, showing off their clothes and skirts that were even brighter than the stars and flowers.

The nobles of the West were immersed in joy.

In the past, Arab merchants monopolized trade, and they could only bear the cheating of people and goods with low quality and high prices. Now, the Ming Dynasty has been delivered directly to them, so that they can choose happily. What a great grace!

Wearing the silk of the Ming Dynasty, drinking the tea from the east, and using exquisite porcelain... let the world's largest empire serve you. This blessing is quite good!

The Western nobles were happy for about two or three years, but then something happened... In fact, buying Eastern goods caused the outflow of gold and silver, which was not serious.

After all, from ancient times to the present, gold and silver in the West have been in a state of outflow.

There is not much difference between flowing to the Ming Dynasty or to the Arabs.

But another by-product made the West feel like a pin and a thorn in its throat... A large number of Chinese books began to appear on Western land.

Exchanges between the two sides and collisions of civilizations are almost inevitable.

In fact, more than ten years ago, with Yu Yanzhao and others' voyage around the world, books and works from the East had already spread to the whole world. Moreover, Zhu Di and Liu Chun continued to send out scholars.

It is difficult to verify how many scholars were driven overseas.

Conservatively estimated, it will not be less than 30,000.

These people communicate with scholars from all over the country, constantly translate books and spread culture... Nowadays, there are many oriental classics on the Western market.

Taking the most famous "Tao Te Ching" as an example, there are more than ten translations alone.

Other Confucian classics are also amazing.

In addition, Eastern paintings, sculptures, and handicrafts have also been passed down.

It is particularly worth mentioning that novels have also become popular, and the Three Kingdoms Water Margin also have Latin versions... and the Ming army established a printing factory in Calais.

The various books they published were spreading quickly.

Western scholars are immersed in the ocean of Confucianism and Taoism, hungry and thirsty, absorbing the wisdom of the East.

Ordinary people also learn skills from novels, such as the strategy of the Three Kingdoms and the generosity of Water Margin... It is said that there was a leader of a peasant uprising who learned the Yellow Turban Rebellion model. He shouted that God was dead and the new emperor should be established.

Although they were jointly killed by the nobles like the Yellow Turban, the shock they brought was still very amazing.

There is also a large group of people who feel that society is too depressed and they actually learn about Water Margin and gather in the mountains and forests, not obeying the orders of the nobles at all.

The place became chaotic and could still bear it. However, the changes in the entire intellectual community were fatal.

All these changes start with an expedition... The Mongols' Western Expedition not only severely damaged the entire West, but also brought about two things. The first is a brand new technology, which allowed the West to master gunpowder, master many new technologies and new craftsmanship.

As for the second point, it is a bit scary, because the Mongolians also brought about the plague - the Black Death!

During the time when the Black Death was raging, no one knew how many people died... Conservatively estimated that one-third of the population died of the plague.

In this plague, there is a type of person mortality rate that is extremely high, that is, the clergy of the Holy See... they hold the cross, pray, and beg... they hope that the gods can lower their divine power and rescue the poor Lamb... But their God did not take action at all. On the contrary, they took all these clergy and met God together.

After this plague, people's belief in gods began to shake, and the power of the Holy See began to collapse... As the prestige faded, various new ideas emerged.

The so-called Renaissance and ideological enlightenment in later generations all started here... After overthrowing the dependence on gods, people began to pursue wealth and explore the world... So, a plague changed the trend of the whole world, and these invisible little things did have incredible power.

Anyone who dares to underestimate the power of the plague will definitely taste the bitter wine he brews!

At this time, the West had just escaped from the entanglement of the Black Death, and people were extremely frightened and empty... The emergence of the Ming Dynasty inevitably changed the entire Western history.

The first thing is the most intuitive thing is the strong ship, the powerful cannon, and the exquisite goods. These things all show the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Admiring the strong and imitating the advanced is almost everyone's instinct. They will not explore the reasons in depth, but will only simply imitate... So everything from the Ming Dynasty is worthy of praise, especially those with figures, which are even more valuable.

For the same cup, those with characters are more than three times more expensive than flowers, birds, fish and insects...

The pastoral life of the Ming Dynasty, wearing clothes, raising poultry and livestock, buildings, streets and alleys... In short, all this fascinated Western scholars... In their writings, the Ming Dynasty became a model of world governance.

In this kingdom, there are no gods who dominate everything. People believe in their own power and can change everything.

Their monarch is a strictly trained "King of Philosophy". This monarch is wise and kind, intelligent and decisive. He governs the largest country according to people's common ideas and common principles.

In this country, what determines people's reputation is not bloodline, but the level of effort.

Even the humblest people can get education. As long as they perform well and pass the assessment, they can become officials.

There are no nobles, no slaves, no pariahs...rich and well-being, prosperity and stability...even women can go out of the house and pursue their own happiness... neat, elegant, rich, fulfilling... If there really is a paradise in the world, it must be the East.

From the West to the East is from barbarism to civilization, from hell to heaven...

"It's pretty good writing! It's much better than the gang of waste from the Hanlin Academy!"

Zhu Di grabbed his beard excitedly and stared at the translated Western works, dancing excitedly, and enjoying himself.

The King of Philosophy!

This title is very good, very good!

He also said that I am the wisest person, very good and good at flattering!

Those from the Hanlin Academy and the National History Museum should come, or send these Western scholars back to the Ming Dynasty... They should be asked to write books and praise the royal family, how good it is!

"Get wine, such a strange article, it should be a big deal!"

Liu Chun gave Zhu Di a big roll of his eyes.

"Grand Emperor, have you heard a saying? It means that beauty is produced by distance. If you bring these people to the Ming Dynasty, beauty will be gone! Maybe they will expose it deeply and sarcastically. Wouldn't they be bound by themselves at that time?"

Zhu Di smiled contemptuously, "Liu Chun, don't go around the corner, I can understand. What you mean is that I am not really good, I am a fool, not smart at all, and the Ming Dynasty is different from what is described here... What does it have to do with it!"

Zhu Di sneered, "You are just a clever person! You don't understand at all that when these people went through a lot of hardships and ran to the Ming Dynasty, in order to maintain their lies and to make those who stay in the West believe that they found heaven, they will promote more vigorously, and use more stingy words to praise the Ming Dynasty and praise the royal family!"

Zhu Di said, and picked up a travel notes from Marco Polo and handed them to Liu Chun.

Facing this book, Liu Chun was speechless.

It’s true, what Zhu Laosi said really makes sense!

This very simple trick has been enjoyed by people for hundreds of years.

Liu Chun was too lazy to say anything more... The impact brought by the East had completely changed the Western world. The nobles and the servants of God in Rome all united, took out all their strength, attacked Calais frantically, trying to destroy the Ming Dynasty's stronghold in the West and quell the source of chaos.

From then on, as long as you close the door, close the windows, and don’t listen or hear, the world will be peaceful...

"Grand Emperor, I have an idea. Otherwise, I would give up Calais and switch from now on to blockade and sanctions, so that the West can rot like this, wouldn't it be better!"

Liu Chun made his own suggestions.

Zhu Di sneered and only gave them two words: Dreaming!

Let it go, who knows whether the West will really unite and burst out with powerful power... The best way is to completely destroy the West, and then divide them into countless countries, conflict and hatred, and kill each other, so that they can be done once and for all.

What can Liu Chun say? Although he stole a lot of power from Zhu Di, Liu Chun still believed in Zhu Di's level in terms of combat and military use.

After two months of navigation preparation, the Ming fleet, a total of 450 ships of various types, 18,000 soldiers, and a huge fleet appeared in the English Channel.

The moment this fleet appeared, the entire British upper class had a heated discussion... When we were lonely and helpless and unable to fight, surrender was the best choice!

The most expensive country, the weak Britain, is willing to act as the forevangelist of the Ming Dynasty and fight against those ignorant fools!
