The Spaniards made such a big noise that hundreds of people destroyed the huge Inca trench. In the end, the reason was so complicated that it was not destroyed by the Spaniards at all.
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s story, Zhao Hongyu was completely speechless towards the Spaniards.
However, now the Spaniards have become history. Because of their good luck in the early days of the Age of Discovery, the glory they created has now collapsed like the Inca Empire.
Portugal, France and even the capital of Spain were captured.
The Spanish Empire has now become a historical term.
It seems that because they have come to this era, the Spaniards have also tasted the consequences.
¡°It¡¯s just that compared to the Inca Empire, the experience of the Spanish was pretty good.
The fleet slowly sailed north along the coastline.
"These people are the remnants of the Inca Empire. After the collapse of the huge Inca Empire, their civilization no longer existed. Since that time, many Inca people who escaped the disaster have returned to their original living conditions. During this time, we The indigenous people we saw appearing on the coastline and secretly observing our fleet are just such tribes."
Wang Shan¡¯s eyes were very sad and he looked towards the shore not far away.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "The destruction of the Inca Empire cannot be said to be a pity. After all, many factors were entangled together, and eventually external forces led to the collapse of the empire. This is also something that cannot be controlled by human beings. And the living thing you mentioned Human sacrifice is indeed a major shortcoming, but fortunately our Song Empire does not have such stupid activities, so we don¡¯t have to worry about this."
Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan, whose eyes were a little wandering, and said.
¡°As a teacher who never forgets the past, we need to learn lessons from the destruction of the Incas. As the saying goes, we are born in trouble and die in happiness, so we must also prepare for a rainy day.¡±
Wang Shan withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said to him.
"Your Highness, the geographical environment of the American continent is very superior. And because there is no very powerful civilization on this continent, we in the Song Empire can foresee that it is impossible to encounter powerful enemies here. After more than a hundred years, when If all of us are gone, will our descendants be like the Incas and forget the danger?"
It turns out that Wang Shan has thought so far, which Zhao Hongyu has never thought of.
"Yes, you are right, but I didn't expect it."
I heard what Wang Shan said. Zhao Hongyu nodded and agreed.
¡°It was because of this that the Incas forgot the danger, which ultimately led to their destruction. Because they had no powerful enemies on the American continent, this also made them forget about development and progress.¡± Wang Shan continued. "As we all know, war is the catalyst for development and progress. The history of mankind is actually a history of war. After every war, the country's development will make great strides forward."
"Because of the war. Qin unified all the countries and developed metallurgical technology, which made people start to use iron products and bid farewell to copper products. This is considered progress."
¡°Dynasties in every era after Qin developed more powerful weapons because of wars.¡± Wang Shan said while thinking.
"This is still ancient times. It is even more powerful in modern times." Wang Shan's eyes flickered. "Think about it, in the one hundred years from 1900 to 2000, how much technology has changed in the world."
¡°Planes, tanks, submarines and aircraft carriers.¡±
"This is something people can't imagine."
"Most of the products used by modern people have been converted from military use to civilian use." Wang Shan paused here before continuing: "So I am wrong to say that war is the catalyst of civilization. None, but the Inca Empire was different."
"Due to the war, matchlock guns appeared in Europe, as well as the Spanish phalanx and armor. The same is true in the East, with continuous rockets and fire dragon cannons. These all came into being because of the war."
Zhao Hongyu was very quiet. While listening to Wang Shan's words, he was also thinking secretly in his heart.
¡°On the other hand, the Incas were different because they had no powerful enemies around them, so the weapons they used were still very primitive. The sharper ones were obsidian swords and daggers, which were not on the same level as iron weapons.¡±
Wang Shan curled his lips and seemed to be very disdainful of the Incas.
"So, their failure is actually not surprising at all. Even if there were no Spaniards, other civilizations would defeat them and make them disappear from history."
?Zhao Hongyu interrupted at this time and asked: "You mean, our Song Empire will be like this in the future?"
Wang Shan shook his head: "The system and social form are different, so it may be different. But if we are not prepared for danger in times of peace, then everything will be difficult to predict."
Wang Shan¡¯s sense of crisis is greater than that of Zhao Hongyu, which is why he has to say so much to Zhao Hongyu today.
Since returning from Great Europe, Zhao Hongyu has looked very comfortable and relaxed, which makes Wang Shan a little worried.
Although the Song Empire is very powerful at this moment, and Zhao Hongyu still has cheats.
Therefore, backward Europe and the East would not be able to compete with the Song Empire.
If you think so, you are really wrong.
First of all, it is certain that the empire will be strong, but the disadvantage of insufficient population is also very obvious.
Now that Europe is in turmoil, the countries that the Song Empire offended now have no time to distract themselves from dealing with them.
Once the situation in Europe stabilizes, what will all the European countries do against the Song Empire?
After all, because of their appearance, history has greatly deviated, and everything will no longer be so absolute.
For some threats that seem to be harmless, once they break out, they will definitely be a big trouble.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it seems that the American continent has become the possession of the Song Empire, but in fact this is not the case.
There are so many people in the entire America, and the Song Empire only has a small population.
This is simply unrealistic.
It can be said that 90% of the land on the American continent has not yet been actually controlled by the Song Empire.
If the Song Empire does not hurry up and resolve this matter, it will be very troublesome if there is a deviation.
¡°Obviously, Zhao Hongyu has forgotten these troubles now.
As a gold medal loser and confidant, Wang Shan would not watch His Highness have these problems, so he wanted to find an opportunity to address the issues he was worried about. They all told Zhao Hongyu to give him a warning.
Now, Wang Shan found this opportunity.
He went on to tell about the fall of the Inca Empire, which touched Zhao Hongyu.
The current Song Empire is very similar to the once glorious Inca Empire in terms of land and environment.
Because the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans serve as natural barriers on the east and west sides, citizens who have lived in the Song Empire for a long time will forget the danger.
By that time, if a war breaks out, no one will even have the will to fight.
At the same time, what if the empire is hit by some epidemic?
Although the empire now has many medicines. But the problem is that genetic people are different from people of this era.
Gene people have also been injected with many vaccines, so their bodies can resist some virus attacks.
But the indigenous humans of this era are different. They have not been exposed to those vaccines at all, and Wang Shan is not sure whether there will be any unexpected mutations after using later generations of medicines and vaccines.
You must know that biochemical products are difficult to control.
The Song Empire had no talents in this field.
Those medicines were purchased from the Time and Space Trader with ease.
It seems easy to use, but if there is a mutation. They simply have no control.
Wang Shan has never told Zhao Hongyu these worries.
If things like what Wang Shan was worried about really happened, then the Inca Empire would be a model for the Song Empire.
not to mention. The population of the Song Empire was much smaller than that of the once glorious Inca Empire.
Therefore, it may decline faster.
"What you are worried about is not unreasonable, but I think we can still solve it." When Wang Shan was thinking about the problems he had been worried about, Zhao Hongyu spoke at this time.
Wang Shan only expressed a few concerns, such as biochemical and pharmaceutical issues that he was more concerned about. He hasn't told Zhao Hongyu yet.
"Hasn't the empire established many schools now? Those Indian children and European citizens' children are in the schools. We can let teachers teach them relevant knowledge and subconsciously regard the East and the West as potential enemies. In this way, the problem you are worried about can be solved.¡±
Soon, Zhao Hongyu thought of a solution.
Yes, the teachings of school teachers.
It can also be said that the crisis in this aspect is consciously instilled.Thoughts.
What Wang Shan is worried about is that after these people are no longer around, those descendants will have such problems.
As long as the school teachers teach well, then this problem will not arise.
Zhao Hongyu is very clear about the power of brainwashing and deliberately instilling certain ideas.
"Well, what His Highness said is true, and it is indeed a solution." Wang Shan nodded after hearing what Zhao Hongyu said. "Actually, Your Highness will not care about my alarmism."
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and waved, and laughed: "How could it be possible? What you said is all right. Since it is right, how could it be wrong? Born in sorrow and died in happiness, we have created such a huge empire. , we must not let the empire go downhill. Neither you nor I can live to be a hundred years old, and the future will definitely belong to those young people."
If there were outsiders here who heard the conversation between Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu, they would definitely laugh.
Because Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu both look like teenagers.
Zhao Hongyu was only sixteen years old in this era.
And Wang Shan¡¯s age is only eighteen years old.
Both of them are still so young, and they are actually starting to think about things a hundred years from now.
? ?How can you not make people laugh when you talk about it.
But looking at the two of them working hard, they really thought about that.
"It's just that Zhao Hongyu's appearance doesn't count. His real mental age is in his thirties.
And because Wang Shan is a genetic person, he also appears to be more mature.
And some of the current advantages of genetic people are beginning to appear.
That is, he learns everything quickly and is very smart.
Although there are restrictions on the background and education set, this does not hinder Gene Man Wang Shan¡¯s continuous learning.
It can be seen that compared with natural people, genetic people still have huge advantages.
The sun in the sky is slowly setting, almost reaching the sea level.
Because the sun has set, the light has changed somewhat. Red fire clouds have appeared on the horizon, and a layer of orange-red halo has spread on the sea.
Because it is sailing along the coastline, there are many seagulls surrounding the fleet.
There was even a pod of dolphins chasing the fleet, constantly jumping out of the water.
Because of the appearance of dolphins, many offshore fish schools were driven over, churning the sea surface like boiling water.
On the shore not far away, in the dense tropical rain forest, the sounds of animals can be heard from time to time.
"It's so beautiful. In the 21st century, it is basically difficult for us to see such beautiful scenery."
Zhao Hongyu had stopped talking to Wang Shan about the empire at this time, and turned his attention to the beautiful scenery at dusk around him.
Wang Shan doesn¡¯t mind too much about this.
He knew that some things needed to be reminded little by little. If he said it all at once, although Zhao Hongyu would definitely care about it given his character, it would also make Zhao Hongyu worry about getting angry, right?
As a bitch, it is absolutely not okay to do things that make the host family angry.
The dusk scenery in the seventeenth century is really beautiful, especially on the coast of the American continent.
At this time, the sunlight was no longer so dazzling, and the sun had turned into an orange-red fireball, with two or three tenths of it already submerged under the sea level.
"Look, the dolphins are having a lot of fun. These guys have been following us for a few days."
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pointed at the dolphins jumping out of the water not far away and said to Wang Shan.
Since coming to this era, Zhao Hongyu has seen dolphins, smart, friendly and ocean elves like dolphins, a few times.
When I went to Europe last year, I saw a group of them.
These elves in the sea are much more interesting than the dolphins in the aquariums of later generations.
They are very curious about big ships and always follow them for a long time.
With the help of the fleet, they will also drive away the surrounding fish schools to make it easier for them to obtain food.
I have to say, they are so smart.
The fleet's sailing speed slowed down at this time, and the dolphins desperately drove the fish over.
Maybe it¡¯s because the fleet is here and the fish are reluctant to swim here, but they are surrounded by dolphins, so they are tragically trapped by the dolphins.The catches one by one became the dolphins' dinner.
àÓàÓ!
All the time, the dolphins jumped high out of the water and screamed happily.
It seems like it is thanking the fleet.
¡°It¡¯s really eye-opening. I never thought there are such spiritual creatures in the sea.¡±
Not far away, Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashang were stunned to see the dolphins falling back into the sea.
To be honest, dolphins are actually found along the southeastern coast.
"It's just that for some special reasons, Mrs. Wang and the others rarely see her.
But here in the Pacific, dolphins are nothing rare.
"Your Highness, would you like to start dinner?"
A genetic man from the Royal Guards came over and asked.
"Start getting ready, it's really getting late." Zhao Hongyu nodded, and then he told Wang Shan: "By the way, please invite those two Ming people over." (To be continued)
