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

【Ancient China is here, and America is here. 】

On the world map in the high-altitude giant screen.

Two red dots appear.

A red dot marks the location of ancient China, and a red dot marks the location of America.

【The two places are separated by a vast sea, so if you want to go to America from ancient China, you can only go by sea.】

【One route starts from the ports along the Chinese coast. The southerly one goes out to the East China Sea through the Osumi Strait. The northerly one passes through the Tsushima Strait and crosses the Sea of ​​Japan, then enters the Pacific through the Chongjin Strait, or passes through the Soya Strait and crosses the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Enter the North Pacific. 】

On the world map on the high-altitude giant screen, a red line appeared, marking the route.

Somewhere in the middle of the red line, it branches into two lines

"record! record!"

In many planes throughout the dynasties, many ancients shouted to the people who drew the pictures.

【Of course, you can also cross the Pacific Ocean without taking one breath】

【Supply along the island chain of Java Islands-Southern Continental Island-South Pacific Islands all the way to Easter Island or take the northern route to Hawaii, and then reach America in one breath. 】

On the giant screen high in the sky, another red line appeared

【Otherwise, there is another option, taking the Bering Strait. 】

A new red line appeared on the world map on the high-altitude giant screen

【However, the Bering Strait is too windy and rough, so it is not recommended to go there.】

【Of course, there is another option for this route, which is to walk across the Bering Strait when it is frozen.】

【Taken together, the best route is to take the North Pacific Gyre.】

【Starting from Mingzhou Port in ancient China, a port in the eastern part of the Japanese country was selected for repairs and replenishing fresh water and food. Then sail east to the Kuroshio. Strive for smooth sailing, and then control the latitude between 35 and 42 degrees】

【If the winds and rivers are favorable, 50 nautical miles per day is no problem, and it will only take about 40 days to reach the east coast of North America.】

【Taking this route, it is best to capture the Japanese country and use it as an advance supply base. 】

See this sentence on the giant screen.

In different dynasties such as the Great Qin, the Great Han, the Great Tang, and the Great Ming, the eyes of Qin Shihuang, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others all flashed with sternness.

There is one more reason to attack Japan!

【When returning from the Americas, you can take the Central Pacific Ocean Current, preferably in winter and spring. This way you can avoid those terrible typhoons in the Pacific. Chapter 26 of"Smooth Wind", I can run back in about 50 days】

【Friendly reminder, in order to prevent scurvy, some soybeans and mung beans should be brought on board to grow bean sprouts for the crew to eat. They contain enough vitamin C to prevent and treat scurvy.】

"record! record!"

Throughout the dynasties, many ancients shouted loudly.

Although they did not understand the meaning of scurvy and vitamin C, they understood that the crew should eat more bean sprouts.

【Finally, ancient navigation technology was relatively backward. No matter how well prepared you are, sailing from ancient China to the Americas is an extremely dangerous thing. You need to be prepared for multiple failures.】

【But, for the resources in America, I think no matter how many failures it takes, it is worth it.】

【What do you think?】

"worth!"

"Definitely worth it!"

To this question, the heroes of the past dynasties all have a very definite answer.

Just three food crops with extremely high yields, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, were enough to make them determined to find America.

Not only It was these emperors who thought it was worth it.

Many dignitaries and rich men in the past dynasties thought it was worth it!

It was a place full of gold mountains!

【By the way, one more thing to remember】

【Europeans discovered America in October 1492, which was the fifth year of the Hongzhi reign of the Ming Dynasty. The first colonization of America began in 1519, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.】

【Therefore, if the time point you travel through is after these two points in time, then when exploring the Americas, it is best to be prepared for a war with the Europeans to compete for the Americas. 】

The plane of the Ming Dynasty’s ancestors.

Zhu Di's eyes revealed murderous intent.

America belongs to his Ming Dynasty!

He will kill anyone who dares to steal America from him!

He already had a plan in mind.

First attack and destroy the Japanese country, then send out a fleet to open up America!

……

In the giant screen high in the sky.

Video refresh

【How to scientifically compete for power in ancient Chinese dynasties?】

"coming! coming! He is here, and the rebel UP master is here again!"

"I always feel that the word science has always been associated with rebellion, coup, and usurpation, which is a bit strange."

"The contents of this issue will definitely be very popular among ancient princes."

"The princes have all sat down with their notebooks."

"……"

As soon as they saw this title and these barrages, the eyes of many princes in the past dynasties lit up and they stared closely at the giant screen in the sky.

That's exactly what they want to know!

Emperor, who doesn’t want to be?

【If you want to successfully seize the throne in ancient China, you might as well understand it from a materialistic perspective: techniques and potential】

【Among them, shi can be understood as power, but also as comprehensive strength and potential.】

【Han Feizi, a master of legalism, once pointed out that good moral character will only increase your weight, but may not make you strong.】

【What can really increase your power is how much money and power you can control】

【Similarly, he believed that power has different manifestations, among which human power is extremely important. 】

Warring States plane.

Han Feizi smiled.

He was very happy that his theory was still being circulated thousands of years later.

【From this we can derive a sentence: power comes from bottom up】

【In other words: It’s not that you become the emperor and the ministers below will listen to you, but that you can be the emperor because the ministers below listen to you.】

【In other words, if most people are on your side, you will be more powerful and you will have the basis to bypass the emperor and seize the throne. 】

Hear this.

The faces of many emperors in the past dynasties darkened.

To seize the throne is to seize the throne, right?

Originally, they thought that seizing the throne was about how to stand out from the princes and become the prince.

Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning, and they were talking about silencing the emperor.

This naturally made them extremely unhappy

【As for techniques, they are methods adopted to make you powerful.】

【From a potential perspective, there have always been three ways to seize the heir apparent:】

【1. The power of one party completely overwhelms the other party】

【In this case, just go ahead and do it】

【For example, Xuanwu Gate, various killings of fathers and brothers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties】

"Li Er: Why can’t you get through? Use me as an example every time!"

"Li Er: Do you know how to be polite? Do I, the majestic emperor of the ages, still have any cards left?"

"Right? Isn’t Xuanwumen gambling at a disadvantage?"

"Reply - It’s hard to say. Some say that Li Er is gambling, and some say that Li Er has already planned it."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's face was calm and his heart was untroubled.

When he saw the title of this video, he already knew that the Xuanwu Gate matter would definitely be brought forward

【2. The momentum of one party slightly exceeds that of the other party, and there is no full confidence in starting directly.】

【Then you can tamper with the edict】

【For example, when Emperor Yuwen Yun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was critically ill, Yang Jian took advantage of the opportunity of his illness to instruct his trusted officials Liu Fang and Zheng Yi to tamper with the imperial edict and appoint himself as regent to assist his young master Yu Wenchan in handling government affairs.】

"Yang Jian was the easiest official to usurp the throne in history."

"From fabricating a posthumous edict to gaining power to formally establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor, it only took 7 months to successfully usurp the throne. Yang Jian's record of the fastest usurpation of the throne by a powerful official has never been broken."

"Reply - The second place was Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan. It took him 1 year and 5 months to successfully usurp the throne, far behind Yang Jian."

"There is a saying that although a powerful minister usurped the throne, the emperor Yang Jian still did a very good job."

"Reply - Indeed, the rule of Emperor Kaihuang was also a prosperous period in ancient China."

"Yang Jian can be said to be a wise man who can be counted among the best."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty

"Do future generations think that I am also a wise king who created a prosperous age?"

Yang Jian felt quite happy when he saw the praise he received from later generations.

This was recognition from thousands of years later.

【3. Being in a weak or unmatched state】

【Either carry out a sneak attack and fight to the death, or take the family property and establish a new business】

【But if you are the eldest son, or you have the established fact that you are the eldest son, then you have a specific innate advantage when it comes to the issue of heirs.】

【From a practical point of view, the eldest son, as the one born first, is naturally given priority in training. At the same time, ministers also move closer to the eldest son. After all, this determines the political career of the hero and the future of the court.】

【But one problem is that once the eldest son dies, all preparations will be in vain.】

【For example, Zhu Biao's death directly disrupted all arrangements of the Ming Dynasty.】

【Also, as a father, the monarch will usually show more affection to his younger son in his later years.】

【This situation is also particularly evident in modern families with many children.】

【Therefore, the more a son is caught in the middle, the more he is despised.】

【Among all the dynasties, Cao Pi was one of those who had good luck in seizing a direct heir.】

【Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chong, these four people were once candidates for the throne of Boss Cao】

【Among them, Cao Ang is the actual eldest son and the heir named by Boss Cao.】

【In Cao Pi's own words:"Brother of the family is filial and honest." That means that if his brother is not dead, he will definitely not compete with Cao Ang for this position.】

【At this time, Cao Pi was very weak】

【But the problem is that during the Battle of Wancheng, Cao's army was attacked late at night because of Boss Cao's infatuation with Zhang Xiu's aunt.】

"What a sudden thought from God." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Wancheng love accident"

"Well, snatching Zhang Xiu's aunt is a triggering factor, but it's not the only reason."

"The more important reason is that Cao Cao sent gold and silver to Zhang Xiu's subordinate Hu Che'er, which made Zhang Xiu feel insecure."

"……"

【During the attack, Boss Cao’s own horse Jueying was also killed.】

【At this extremely critical moment, Cao Ang gave up the chance of survival to Boss Cao, took the initiative to give up his war horse to his father Cao Cao, and protected his father on foot to escape from Wancheng】

【In the end, he, Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei all died in the battle.】

【But Cao Pi escaped unscathed.】

"Cao Cao killed the three sages with one shot!"

"The most painful thing for people is that the power is still there but the person is gone"

"It's really a pity for Cao Ang, Cao Pi's genes are so bad"

"It's a pity for Dian Wei, what a fierce general"

"This shot was too expensive. My eldest son and my beloved general were both gone."

"The official history seems to be Cao Anmin’s idea, so the three sages should be: Cao Ang, Dian Wei and Jueying"

"What's even more amazing is that Zhang Xiu later joined Cao Cao and became in-laws with Cao Cao."

"……"

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

AD 197.

Water.

Cao Cao was confused[]

How could my little hobby cause such a big mess?

His Highness Zhang Xiu was also a little confused.

He just led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao for the first time today.

Neither of them expected that things would develop like this.

After all, Cao Cao was the hero. He thought quickly in his mind, thought of his words, and began to persuade Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu took a look and found that in the original history, he later took refuge with Cao Cao and did not want to get more entangled in this matter.

In the end, both parties are happy

【At this time, Cao Pi's power suddenly occupied the vacancy occupied by Cao Ang and grew rapidly.】

【This was the first advantage Cao Pi gained on his way to the throne: his eldest son died young and his position was vacant.】

【The bigger problem is that Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, has no chemistry with Cao Cao at all.】

【Mother is more valuable than her child. Without children, there is no competitiveness.】

【The mother's family is the biggest helper for the children to win the title of heir, because the interests are bound together, and once they succeed, they will also become prosperous.】

【And when the child is gone, the mother’s family has no motivation to participate.】

【This is the second point: the original wife’s mother’s family withdrew, leaving only Cao Pi’s biological mother, Mrs. Bian’s family.】

【But Cao Pi soon ushered in two competitors: his brother Cao Zhi and his brother Cao Chong.】

【Among them, Cao Chong, as the youngest son, was also very intelligent and was deeply loved by Cao Cao.】

【At this time, Cao Pi was not in a dominant position.】

【But in 208, Cao Chong became seriously ill and died.】

【Cao Pi once lamented in his later years: If only 233 Cangshu could exist, I would not have the world. Cangshu is Cao Chong's name. He means that if Cao Chong doesn't die, he will have no chance to ascend to power.】

"Cao Chong is not only smart, but also kind to others and has a good reputation."

"My brother is dead, my brother is dead, I can only sit in this position"

"……"

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Cao Pi sighed.

In this life, he's afraid he won't be so lucky

【After Cao Chong's death, Cao Pi's power expanded rapidly, leaving only Cao Zhi as his opponent.】

【Cao Zhi likes to write poems, and his writing style is changeable, and he is very consistent with Cao Cao.】

【In comparison, Cao Pi couldn't do it. The loneliness and sorrow reflected in"Yan Ge Xing" couldn't be compared with"Dengdai Fu", so Cao Pi had to find another way: compare the situation】

"Cao Pi’s art criticism is pretty good"

"An expert in literary criticism,"Dian Lun" is regarded as the first literary monograph in the history of Chinese literary criticism."

"Cao Pi's literary ability is greater than his ability to be an emperor"

"……"

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Cao Pi looked at the barrage in the giant screen high in the sky, thinking deeply in his heart.

【But Cao Zhi also has powerful support behind him, such as Cao Cao's chief secretary, Yang Xiu, Cao Cao's personal secretary.】

【Although the tasteless story may make future generations think that Yang Xiu is just mediocre, you must know that Cao Cao's position as chief secretary has been occupied by Sima Yi, Sima Ji, Jiang Ji and others.】

【Therefore, Yang Xiu is not an idle person.】

"He is from the Hongnong Yang family!"

"The Hongnong Yang family is much stronger than Mrs. Bian’s family."

"……"

【In other words, in the final stage of seizing the heir, it is more about who has the greater power behind it.】

【Of course, some people will say that the prince's human ability is also very important.】

【Yes, it is important, but not as important as imagined】

【Because there is a strong force behind it, it means that after taking over the position in the future, the situation will be easily stabilized and there will be no major chaos.】

【And if a particularly powerful prince comes to power, he will not be able to restrain other powerful princes.】

【Then, as long as the monarch dies, there is a high probability that the court will be in chaos.】

【The monarch will definitely consider this when appointing a successor】

【In addition, the most important skill of being a boss is to be able to recognize and employ people, balance the interests of all parties, and make the right choices.】

【As the eldest son, Cao Pi had an innate advantage in gathering talents to increase his power.】

【He has gathered senior backbones of Cao Wei such as Jia Xu, Sima Yi, and Chen Qun under his command, which the young Cao Zhi cannot compare with.】

【In addition, Cao Zhi's own political ability is indeed too low】

【Soon, Cao Pi's power completely overwhelmed Cao Zhi.】

"The victory or defeat has been decided long ago. Cao Pi has many talents, while Cao Zhi’s men are all cats and dogs."

"It was a big taboo to break into Simamen at night. This Simamen was reserved exclusively for the emperor."

"Cao Zhi is talented in literature, but in politics, he is really too weak"

"He is good at it, and his subordinates are also bad at it. Only if he doesn't lose can he be stupid."

"……"

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Cao Zhi was stunned.

Is he that bad at politics?.
