Chapter 159, Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat

Here in Tianjin port.

The [-] students of Tianjin Maritime Academy are wearing uniform tight clothing, all of them have uniform short hair, and their beards have been shaved. They look very different from the dress of this era, so different that there are people around He also pointed at these students from time to time and laughed a little.

But at this time, the thousand or two students were divided into ten square formations, each with one hundred and twenty people, each square formation was neatly arranged 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 just three meals a day. It is so simple for you to eat with your belly open for each ton. According to Liu Jin's instructions, these maritime students There must be meat for all three meals. The pork, fish, chicken, duck, geese, beef, sheep, etc. have been served for several months.

At the same time, Liu Jin also conducted paramilitary training and management for these people. In addition to learning a lot of knowledge about navigation, geography, mathematics, etc., he also needed to conduct various physical training and military training. The amount of exercise every day is very large.

Now everyone is strong and strong, even Zhao Houzi, who was extremely thin before, is now a gorilla from a little baboon.

Thousands of strong and strong people stood together, one by one silent, a strong breath came towards them, people couldn't help but stay away, and the voices talking about them became much smaller .

Looking at the ten phalanxes in front of him, Liu Jin finally didn't waste his thoughts in vain. During this period of time, what Liu Jin spent most of his time and thoughts on was cultivating these people.

Because Liu Jin knows that whether he can reach the Golden Isle, whether he can bring gold, silver, and high-yield crops back, the most important thing is not a boat, nor knowing how to get there, but a group of qualified sailors, a group of qualified navigators .

The [-] people in front of me, although they are still very immature, many of them have never even been on a boat, and some even saw the sea for the first time after they came to Tianjin.

But they are [-] seeds, [-] future voyagers, and future colonists. This is the greatest contribution Liu Jin has made in this era.

As long as the door to navigation is opened, once the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty tastes the sweetness 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, it is absolutely impossible to stop this rolling historical trend. .

"You are lucky, because you have caught up with a good time!"

Liu Jin picked up a loudspeaker made of iron, and the loud voice was clearly transmitted to the squares in front.

The way of speaking is the same as the way of teaching at the Maritime Academy, it is all vernacular, there is nothing special, and there is nothing obscure. This is what Liu Jin has been silently promoting all the time.

Firstly, there was no way, because Liu Jin didn't have any ink in his stomach, so he couldn't be like those scholars and Confucian scholars, quoting from the scriptures every sentence, and he must appear to be full of knowledge when he speaks.

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 not be based on Confucianism. 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 the Maritime Academy be truly successful.

"Everyone here, maybe today, no one will know your names, but in many years, your names will most likely be left in history."

"Maybe you are very humble, and you were all worried 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 was unimaginable before."

"Today is the day for you to go to sea. I hope you will 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 wolf that walks in the world and eats 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's words fell, the [-] students at the scene also shouted neatly 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 howling at the full moon.

"Go to sea!"

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction. He has been working hard to cultivate the wolf nature of these people.

Coming from later generations, Liu Jin has read many books about the era of the great navigation of the European people. Some of them said why the Ming Dynasty, which also mastered advanced navigation technology, did not take the lead in setting off the era of great navigation during the Ming Dynasty, while the Europeans did. Opened the age of great navigation.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty continued to decline, and at the end it was occupied by foreigners, while the Europeans relied on the huge wealth accumulated in the age of great voyages 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 regions and wealth on the earth, spread the seeds of Europeans all over the best land on the entire earth.

The huge difference between the two and the completely different fate have naturally aroused countless people's research and discussion, and one of the viewpoints is very interesting.

Some people think that the main reason for such a huge difference between the two is the ideological concept.

The Ming Dynasty was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he was like a gentle gentleman in his bones. He was always polite and face-saving to the outside world. Naturally, it was impossible to do colonial things, and he was afraid that the other party would suffer losses even when doing business. .

The Europeans are completely different. They are pirates and robbers in their bones. Everything is done around interests. That's fine.

Therefore, Europeans have enough motivation to continuously plunder and colonize all over the world, gather wealth from all over the world into their own hands, complete the original capital accumulation, and leave huge wealth for their children and grandchildren.

As for the Ming Dynasty, because of their good face and not dark enough face, they often suffer by themselves, so that the surrounding small countries like to come to Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, because every time they pay tribute, they can get several times or even ten times. Generous rewards.

As a result, the Ming court couldn't take it anymore, and had to limit the number and scale of tributes from neighboring countries. As a result, they gradually lost their aggressiveness in exploring the sea, and it was inevitable to close the country.

Liu Jin felt that although this view was somewhat one-sided, it also had its reasons.

If you want to colonize and get rich at sea, you can't bear to lose your face and be black. You must know that European robbers are just a few broken ships and hundreds of people. They dare to capture Indian chiefs for gold. , Let the Indians fill a house with gold.

In order to facilitate their own colonization, they donated clothes with smallpox to the Indians who saved their lives. Such a thing can only be done by Europeans who are robbers in their bones.

But it is the bandit spirit of the Europeans that made their age of great exploration, their prosperity, and their domination of the earth possible.

This has to make 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 profits.

Therefore, when training and educating the students of the Maritime Academy, Liu Jin is also constantly instilling such an idea and a way of doing things in them, in order to cultivate their wolf nature.
