This side of Tianjin Port.
One thousand two hundred students of Tianjin Maritime Academy are wearing uniform tight-fitting clothes, all have uniform short hair, and their beards have been shaved. They look very different from the dress of this era. They are so different that there are people around them. From time to time, he pointed at these students and laughed.
But at this time, the one thousand and two students were divided into ten square formations, with one hundred and twenty people in each square. Each square was arranged neatly, like a chessboard, and a powerful momentum was revealed. .
In addition, these people have been fed by Liu Jin for a long time. Their food is not only three meals a day, but it is so simple for you to eat every ton. According to Liu Jin's instructions, these maritime trainees eat a lot of food every day. All three meals must have meat. The pork, fish, chicken, duck, goose, beef, sheep, etc. have been served for several months.
At the same time, Liu Jin also conducted quasi-military training and management for these people. In addition to learning a lot of navigation knowledge, geography knowledge, mathematics knowledge, etc. every day, they also needed to conduct various physical training and military training. The amount of exercise every day is very large.
Now everyone is strong and healthy, even Zhao Houhou, who used to be extremely thin, has now transformed from a little baboon into a gorilla.
Thousands of strong and strong people stood together, each one silent, and a strong aura came towards them. People couldn't help but stay away, and the voices talking about them also became much quieter. .
Liu Jin looked at the ten square formations in front of him, and finally he had not wasted his efforts. During this period of time, Liu Jin spent the most time and thought on cultivating these people.
Because Liu Jin knew that whether he could reach the Golden Continent and whether he could come back with gold, silver, and high-yielding crops, the most important thing was not the ship, nor knowing how to get there, but a group of qualified sailors and a group of qualified navigators. .
Although the 1,200 people in front of me are still very young, many of them have never even been on a boat. Some even saw the sea for the first time after coming to Tianjin.
But they are just 1,200 seeds, 1,200 future voyagers, and future colonists. This is the greatest contribution Liu Jinlai has made in this era.
As long as the door to navigation is opened, once the Ming Dynasty's court has tasted the benefits of overseas colonization and overseas trade, Liu Jin believes that no matter how powerful the wealthy families in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are, they will never be able to stop this rolling historical trend. .
"You are lucky because you have caught up with a good era!"
Liu Jin picked up a loudspeaker made of iron sheets, and the loud sound was clearly transmitted to the square arrays in front.
The way of speaking is the same as the way of teaching here at the Maritime Academy. It is all vernacular. There is nothing nonsense and nothing obscure. This is what Liu Jin has been quietly promoting.
At first, there was no way, because Liu Jin himself did not have much ink in his stomach. There was no way for him to quote every sentence from the scriptures like those scholars and Confucian scholars. When he spoke, he must appear to be full of knowledge.
Secondly, Liu Jin feels that the development of Confucianism has seriously hindered the development and progress of this nation. The maritime academy he runs must no longer use Confucian ideas. He must learn from later generations and promote new ideas. Only in this way can new vitality be injected into this stagnant era, and only in this way can this maritime academy be truly successful.
"Everyone here, maybe no one knows your name today, but in many years, your name will most likely go down in history."
"Perhaps you are very humble and have been worrying about filling your stomach in the past, but in the future, each of you will become the envy of others and live a life that you could not even imagine before."
"Today is the day you go out to sea. I hope you remember that wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit. When you go to sea, you must be the wolves that travel across the world to eat meat!"
Liu Jin¡¯s voice was very high and full of passion.
¡°Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat!¡±
¡°Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat!¡±
As Liu Jin finished speaking, the 1,200 students at the scene also shouted in unison one by one. Everyone seemed to have awakened the wolf nature deep in their bones, like frightened hungry wolves, wailing for food. , the whole scene was like a pack of wolves looking up to the sky and howling at the full moon.
"Go to sea!"
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction. He has been working hard to cultivate these people.wolf nature.
Coming from later generations, Liu Jin had read many books about the European Age of Discovery. Some of them asked why during the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, which also mastered advanced navigation technology, did not take the lead in launching the Age of Discovery, while the Europeans did. Opened the Age of Discovery.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty continued to decline, and later it was occupied by foreigners. Europeans relied on the huge wealth accumulated in the Age of Discovery to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, and finally ushered in the dawn of the industrial age and began to dominate The entire earth, occupying most of the area and wealth of the earth, spread the seeds of Europeans over the best land on the earth.
The huge differences and completely different fates between the two have naturally caused countless people to study and discuss, one of which is very interesting.
Some people think that the main reason why there is such a huge difference between the two is caused by ideological concepts.
The Ming Dynasty was deeply influenced by Confucianism. Deep down, he was like a gentle gentleman. He was always polite and good-looking to the outside world. Naturally, it was impossible for him to do colonial things. He was even afraid of losing money when doing business. .
The Europeans are completely different. They are pirates and robbers at heart. Everything is done around profit. As long as it is beneficial to themselves, they don't care about the means at all. They don't care about the life or death of others at all. As long as they live well. That's fine.
Therefore, Europeans have enough motivation to continue plundering and colonizing all over the world, gathering wealth from all over the world into their own hands, completing primitive capital accumulation, and leaving huge wealth for their descendants.
As for the Ming Dynasty, because they were good-looking and because their faces were not dark enough, they often endured hardships on their own, so that the surrounding small countries liked to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, because every time they paid tribute, they could get several times or even more than ten times the amount. Generous rewards.
So in the end, the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore and had to limit the number and scale of tribute from neighboring countries. As a result, it naturally and slowly lost its enterprising spirit to explore the sea, and it was inevitable to close the country to the outside world.
Liu Jin feels that although this view is a bit one-sided, it also makes sense.
If you want to colonize and get rich at sea, you can't do it without shame and a dark heart. You must know that European bandits are just a few broken ships and a few hundred people. They dare to capture the Indian chiefs for gold. , let the Indians fill a house with gold.
In order to facilitate their own colonization, only Europeans who were bandits at heart could do such a thing, giving clothes containing smallpox to the Indians who saved their lives.
But it was the bandit spirit of Europeans that led to their Age of Discovery, their prosperity, and their dominance of the earth.
This makes people sigh for a long time. Sure enough, those who have been able to win and achieve great things since ancient times are definitely shameless people who only care about interests.
So when training and educating the students of the Maritime Academy, Liu Jin is constantly instilling in them this kind of thinking and a way of doing things, in order to cultivate their wolf nature. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
