I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly:

"Two small island countries dare to do such arrogant things. They really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

He has already understood that the so-called division of the world is actually the scope of the two sides to develop colonies, not that the two countries have really occupied the world separately.

But even so, Zhu Zhanji still thinks that Ban Ya and Pu Tao Ya are too rampant.

They are just two small island countries in Europe. Where do they get the courage to be so confident?

Zhu Di on the side agreed with Zhu Zhanji's words.

If they want to divide the world, it is completely a foolish dream with the strength of these two countries.

However.

"At this time? China or Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di recalled the information he had learned from the high-altitude giant screen in his mind.

Finally, it was confirmed that when these two countries started the Age of Exploration to develop colonies around the world, China was still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

"Did the Portuguese fleet come to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di looked at the Papal Meridian on the huge screen in the sky, and this question came to his mind.

According to the division of this line, Asia belongs to the scope of Portuguese development.

So if there is a fleet coming from the two countries, it will only be the Portuguese fleet.

Zhu Di's answer to this question is yes.

Portuguese did come to China during the Ming Dynasty, and fought a war with the Ming Dynasty in 1521, called the Battle of Tuen Mun.

The final result of the war ended with the victory of the Ming Dynasty.

……

[At the end of the 15th century, the rise of the British Empire, the Gallic Chicken Kingdom, and the Tulip Kingdom at sea and their global hegemony had not yet begun. 】

[Global geographical exploration and the accompanying colonial expansion are mainly dominated by the Portuguese and the Banyan people. 】

……

The Great Han Wudi plane.

When Liu Che saw this, he felt a little strange.

Why did the Portuguese and the Banyan countries, the two countries that first opened the global Age of Exploration, fail to maintain their first-mover advantage? Failed to take the lead in launching the Industrial Revolution?

He hoped to find out the reasons so as to learn lessons from the future backwardness of the two countries.

……

[In world history, the "Papal Meridian" divided by the Portuguese and the Banyan countries is the first time that a line is used to divide the world into two parts, east and west, and even the North and South Poles are included. 】

[However, according to the division of this line, the actual benefits obtained by the two countries are actually different. 】

[It can also be seen from the map that the Portuguese are the ones who have the greater benefits. 】

……

The Great Tang Emperor Taizong plane.

Li Zhi was surprised:

"Are people in later generations wrong?"

"According to this line, America basically belongs to the Banya Kingdom, and the Banya Kingdom is the one who has taken advantage?"

Li Shimin said lightly:

"America had just been discovered at that time."

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Zhi immediately understood that he had misunderstood.

It was because he learned from people in later generations that America had very rich resources in advance.

But the Portuguese and Banya people at that time did not know.

On the contrary.

At that time, Europeans already knew about the situation in Asia and had a lot of trade exchanges.

In the eyes of Europeans, Asia must be a rich place.

So, in the eyes of people at that time, Portugal must have taken advantage.

But in fact, America not only has abundant resources, but also the indigenous forces that occupied America at that time were not strong. Compared with Asia, which is full of countries and the existence of the great country of China, it must be a better place to explore.

Therefore, it was actually Banya that gained more benefits.

"It's really interesting."

Li Zhi smiled in his heart.

Is Banya a bargain for nothing?

……

【For the maritime industry at that time, the most important thing was to find a way to India. 】

【Because the previous trade was completed through China, India and the Middle East. 】

【And due to the growth of Arabia, this road was blocked. 】

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties remembered it.

Here is the fall of the Byzantine Empire and the fall of Constantinople.

As mentioned in the previous video, it was this incident that pushed Europe to open the global Age of Exploration.

……

【So, people at that time were eager to find a way on the sea. 】

【On the way to find it, they accidentally obtained spices and had more precious materials. 】

【It is not difficult to see that if it is divided like this, Pu Taoya basically took almost all the spices going to India. 】

【However, due to the lack of geographical knowledge at that time, the Portuguese did not know that what was thought to be India was actually America. 】

【So, it was the Portuguese who were dissatisfied. 】

……

“So that’s it.”

Many ancient people from all dynasties now understood why Portugal was dissatisfied.

Then.

They became curious again.

Since Portugal was dissatisfied, what would it do?

Redraw the line?

Many ancient people speculated in their hearts.

And their speculation was correct.

……

【So, King John II of Portugal asked for a redrawing of the line. 】

【After negotiations between the two countries, on June 7, 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed, moving the demarcation line 270 leagues further west. 】

【The territory of Samba was included in the sphere of influence of Portugal according to this treaty. 】

【This treaty, guaranteed by the Pope, was jointly established by Spain and Portugal.The new line drawn by the Kingdom of Banya became the new "Pope's Meridian". 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were quite surprised.

I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Banya would actually agree to redraw the line.

They thought the two sides would fight first.

……

【However, the earth is round after all, and the two sides will eventually meet. 】

【So, later the two countries had opinions and conflicts over some places. 】

【Especially when Magellan's fleet, which served the Kingdom of Banya, arrived at the Moluccas (now the Maluku Islands), Spain and Portugal had a huge dispute over the ownership of the islands. 】

【After negotiations, the two sides signed the Treaty of Zaragoza in 1529, and drew another line 17 points east of the Moluccas as the dividing line between the two countries in the Eastern Hemisphere. The west and east of the line were the spheres of influence of Portugal and Banya respectively. 】

【The signing of this treaty eased the relationship between the two countries that were the first to embark on the colonial road. 】

【In the following 100 years, both sides basically implemented the treaty seriously, opened up the colonial expansion that other powers worshiped, and became colonial hegemons. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered in his heart.

The two small island countries that did not start the industrial revolution were able to dominate the West for a hundred years just because they took the lead in starting the Age of Exploration.

It seems that they gained a lot of resources in the Age of Exploration.

"What if the Ming Dynasty got these resources?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with brilliance.

He thought that perhaps there was no need to wait until the Ming Dynasty successfully launched the Industrial Revolution before launching the Great Navigation.

These two small island countries were able to sail around the world without steamships, so there was no reason why the great Ming Dynasty could not do the same.

And.

The resources plundered from other parts of the world might also speed up the pace of the Ming Dynasty's successful launch of the Industrial Revolution.

……

[In the eyes of people at that time, according to the division between the two sides, Portugal and Taoya took the advantage. ]

[But the development of the two countries in the following hundred years showed that this was not the case. ]

[The colonial empire of the Banya Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Portuguese and Taoya Colonial Empire. ]

[Speaking of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", many people's first impression must be the historical Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. 】

【However, in fact, before the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, there was a country that formed the most powerful navy, known as the "Invincible Fleet", which was rampant on the sea. Wherever it passed, colonies were established like mushrooms after rain, and it dominated the world for nearly a hundred years. 】

【At its peak, its territory spread all over the world, and its territory once exceeded 30 million square kilometers. 】

【It was the first "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", and this country was the colonial empire of the Ban Ya Kingdom. 】

【Even the title of "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" comes from the famous saying of King Carlos I of the Ban Ya Kingdom: "In my territory,The sun never sets on the earth."]

...

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time he heard of this statement, so he was a little shocked.

"In this case, isn't this country of Banya the world's first superpower?"

This thought came to Li Shimin's mind. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The territory of more than 30 million square kilometers is not much different from the later British Empire.

"Is it because of the occupation of America? ”

Li Shimin pondered in his heart.

…

[The catalyst for the rise of the Banya Empire was its main colony: the New World of America.][]

[Or, the gold and silver of the New World of America.]

[In the 16th century, the Banya people discovered several large-scale gold and silver mines in America, especially several giant silver mines in Peru and Cactus. The high quality and rich reserves of silver were astonishing.]

[The successive development of giant silver mines has rapidly exceeded the silver production in America. Including the entire Old World, including Europe, Asia and Africa, the Banya Kingdom also monopolized more than half of the world's silver production. 】

[A set of numbers can intuitively show how much wealth the Banya Kingdom has obtained from the Americas. 】

[According to statistics, about 2.25 million kilograms of gold and 100 million kilograms of silver flowed into the Banya Kingdom. By the end of the 16th century, more than 80% of the world's gold and silver belonged to the Banya Kingdom. 】

[Corresponding to the huge wealth is the death of eight million Indians due to mining. 】

……

"Hiss!"

"2.25 million kilograms of gold and 100 million kilograms of silver?!"

The ancients of all dynasties were stunned.

This is a huge number that they can't even imagine!

Immediately afterwards.

Countless ancients were jealous.

"Go to America!"

"Go to America! ”

“We must go to America!”

In many dynasties, many ancient people shouted wildly in their hearts.

Money moves people’s hearts.

Although they have learned from previous videos that there are a lot of gold and silver mines in America, the case in front of them still makes them very excited.

Because this is a real case that someone took so much gold and silver from America.

And it happened before the start of the Industrial Revolution.

This gave many ancient people great confidence: they can reach America without steamships!

…

The Ming Chengzu plane.

Zhu Gaochi, who has always been calm and conservative, couldn’t help but say to Zhu Di at this time:

“Dad, our Ming Dynasty must find America as soon as possible at all costs! No need to wait until after the Industrial Revolution! ”

With so much gold and silver, Zhu Gaochi was really jealous.

With all this wealth, will the Ming Dynasty still be short of money in the future?

Of course not!

After listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Di nodded heavily.

The priority of developing America has been raised to the highest level in his mind at this moment.

...

Not only Zhu Di in the dimension of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

In the dimensions of many other dynasties.

There are also many emperors who also regard sending fleets to sea to develop America as the most important thing for their dynasty.

It has to be said.

Almost all these emperors only care about how much gold and silver Ban Yaguo transported from America.

As for the millions of Indians who died, they don't care at all.

Or, when they see this information, they will only think it's good, which means that they can also find enough people to dig in America.

...

[Success is in America, and failure is in America. ]

[The massive amount of gold and silver in America is the catalyst for the rise of Ban Yaguo, but also the gravedigger of its decline. 】

【Getting rich quickly is often not a good thing for a person, and it is even more so for a country. 】

【The Ban Ya country, which became rich because of the vast amount of gold and silver in the Americas, was eventually destroyed by these gold and silver. 】

……

“.What does this mean?”

Many emperors of all dynasties were shocked and puzzled.

How could so much wealth from the Americas destroy the Ban Ya country?

They couldn’t quite understand.

At the same time.

Many emperors looked at the giant screen in the sky with more concentration.

They were very curious just now. As the pioneers of the Age of Exploration, why did the Ban Ya country and Portugal not take the lead in launching the industrial revolution?

……

【The colonies transported a large amount of gold and silver, and also served as currency, which destroyed the economy and finance of the Ban Ya country in a very short time. 】

【First of all, there was vicious inflation, and prices rose sharply. 】

[In just a few decades, the average price of Ban Ya Country has risen by more than 4 times, while the prices of European countries in the same period have only increased by more than 2 times. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of thought.

If it was before, he might not understand the reason for this change.

But after learning a lot of financial knowledge of later generations from the high-altitude giant screen, he now had some vague ideas.

That is, there is more money circulating in society, but the number of circulating goods has not increased.

In this case, it is equivalent to money being worthless, while goods are becoming more and more valuable, which eventually leads to serious inflation.

"How to deal with it?"

"Should the court control the gold and silver in America to prevent a large amount of money from flowing into the people?"

"Or increase the number of circulating goods?"

Li Shimin thought about the solution in his heart.

Because he felt that when the Tang Dynasty found America in the future, this problem might also arise.

……

【Secondly. (Dima Zhao)】

【Ban Ya country is just a porter of nature, they mine gold and silver,But he failed to possess gold and silver in the end, and instead encouraged extravagance and laziness. 】

[Like industrial products from European countries? Buy. 】

[Fancy the silk of Dragon Country and the jewelry of India? Buy. 】

[The colonies need various daily necessities? Buy. 】

[Make them yourself? How is that possible. 】

[It is better to open a mine in America than to have money to run a factory. 】

[By the end of the 17th century, only 5% of the goods shipped to the colonies by Ban Ya Country were produced domestically. 】

[The remaining 95% were purchased from many European countries such as Gaul, Italy, Tulip Country, the British Empire and Hans Leopard Country with gold and silver mined in America. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes fixed.

He vaguely knew where the problem was.

The vast amount of gold and silver obtained by Ban Ya from America was not used to improve the country's production capacity.

Instead, it stimulated the production of goods in other European countries.

Because the country's production capacity was insufficient, these gold and silver flowed out, strengthening the strength of other European countries.

In fact, what Zhu Di didn't know was.

The buying behavior of the wealthy Ban Ya people even had a negative impact on the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ban Ya nobles loved the silk and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, they bought them to satisfy their personal desires, which also caused a large amount of silver to flow into the Ming Dynasty, laying the groundwork for the inflation of the Ming Dynasty.

……

[Even the various weapons and equipment used by Ban Ya to fight were bought from other countries. ]

[In this way, the more the Ban Ya country fought, the more funds would flow out, and the whole of Europe would become rich. 】

… scoop…

“Ah this…”

Many emperors of all dynasties were stunned.

This was something they never expected.

How could a country not produce its own weapons and equipment?

Let’s not talk about the issue of money.

Let’s talk about the most critical issue they think, isn’t this controlled by others?

They couldn’t understand the practice of the Ban Ya country.

They thought it was really a bit outrageous. .
