Conclusion of Volume 5
The glimmer on the horizon has undoubtedly turned into the sun at seven or eight o'clock. With the great discoveries of the great voyages, the new world has definitely arrived, and the fifth volume ends here!
In the author's one-sided view, the so-called new world is both an expansion of cognition and a possibility of maritime connection. When Europe discovered America and America discovered Asia, exchanges were bound to occur, and geography was no longer isolated. The new side brought about by this infinite future possibility is a new world, a changing world.
To a certain extent, the people of this era are special and lucky. After continuing the traditional worldview for thousands of years, they suddenly discovered that the world is more than this, and the world is so vast! This sudden change in the world may only be compared with it when people can open up interstellar colonies a few hundred years later!
In this wonderful era, the impact brought by the great geographical discoveries, although just beginning, has rapidly reshaped the cognition of many people, leaving enough foundation and space for subsequent reforms and disputes... Therefore, this must be seen as the starting point of everything. The magnificent Age of Exploration is the starting point that truly connects all mankind on the five continents! The difficult voyage and exploration, no matter what the purpose is, is a thrilling hymn of courage!
Therefore, the center of this volume is not actually on the Mexica Plateau, but on the forefront of the New World exchange, Northeast Asia and the Caribbean.
The trade exchanges in Northeast Asia, from the Kingdom's exploration fleet, the contact with the Ainu tribe, to the war with the Japanese Daimyo of Ezo, and then to the first "gold trade" in the name of redeeming captives. Then, the Kingdom's exploration fleet contacted the Shengnuzhen tribes in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River for the first time, saw the remnants of the Ming Dynasty after its peak, and formed an alliance with the Maha tribe, recruited Shengnuzhen warriors, and armed to the teeth.
Then, it was the second "gold trade" with the Japanese Daimyo, and contacted the Omi merchants with temple and shrine backgrounds. The kingdom finally opened up the trade route extending to Japan with the power of gold. And this gold-driven trade route will also be connected to Korea through the extended veins of Japanese merchants, and to the Ming Dynasty through the Kan'ei trade. At this point, Ningbo Port, which was a port of trade during the Hongzhi period, and the Celestial Empire during the heyday of civil officials, unveiled a corner of prosperity and strength. But behind this prosperous maritime trade, it is the system, class and national policy of the Ming Dynasty that are difficult to change, which makes all new changes falter.
With the author's knowledge and ability, he can only write to this extent. There must be many biases and fallacies in it. Readers, please smile and rub your cat's head after reading it.
As for the exploration and conflict in the Caribbean, it is the convergence of two other European branches. Just like in history, Columbus's persistence and even madness made him hold the determination to go to the East, but he first discovered the New World of America. Then, it was the kingdom's stronghold in Cuba, and the conflict with Columbus's exploration fleet, which was also the first fight with European colonists. Such contact is the result of Xiu Luote's long-term layout and long-term waiting. From the perspective of the indigenous people, only by resisting to the end from the beginning can there be a possibility of continuing themselves. This is seeking peace through struggle...
Next, the news Columbus brought back shocked the King of Portugal. Because this time, he did bring back accurate news from the East, which really threatened Portugal's opening of new routes and the interests of the entire kingdom. Therefore, he would inevitably be treated harshly by the Portuguese. Then, Bruno, as a foreshadowing from the very beginning, finally got the opportunity to step onto the stage, swept by the torrent of the great era, and rushed to explore new routes. Then, the kingdom led the Taino tribe to fight the European colonists for the second time...
From ancient times to the present, the two main ways of communication between different ethnic groups are trade and war. The communication between Northeast Asia and the Americas is the former. And the communication between Europe and the Americas is the latter. Under the divine revelation of Xiu Luote, the kingdom has a clear direction and strives to make these exchanges point to the same goal. That is to improve the backward level of science and technology, productivity and medicine as quickly as possible to welcome the great era that is destined to be magnificent, destined to be closely connected, and destined to change the world!
In addition to the "main lines" of these two new worlds, the main line of the Central American world is still the centralized reform and religious reform of the Mexica League, the all-out expedition to the south in the clouds, the hidden dragon in the abyss of Shulot, and the unrepentant dragon of Avit!
The footsteps of the new world are both the flying of large sailboats and the galloping of horses. When the changes of "ships" and "horses" meet in the ancient and new Central America, it is the end of the next volume, "sunset"!
Ah, I wrote so much without realizing it, and made the readers sleepy again. Then at the end of this volume, I will give the big guys a shoulder massage, and then ask for votes, subscriptions, and rewards! Orz...っっ!
