New Year's greetings

This week's strong push results were unexpectedly good. Fei Yang thanked her for her single-digit strong support.

Fat Sheep is here to thank every enthusiastic reader. It is you who gave me great motivation and the courage to move forward to write down your thoughts on silent nights.

Here, I would like to express my special thanks to a great man (I don’t think he wants to know these, so he doesn’t mention his name). Without his insightful guidance and strict requirements, I would not have reached this level so quickly (of course, the current level is very average).

In order to write the book "The Great Empire of China", most of the previous manuscripts were abandoned, which was a bit unacceptable to me at that time. It was like being pregnant for ten months, and in the end someone told you, "I'm sorry, you were not pregnant, you just had a big sarcoma."

I was very angry at that time, but I have always been against things and people. After a fierce debate, the man and I were not sure what to do (I thought at the time). But when I calmed down and read the first volume, I finally understood that this debate was lost. My article was like a beggar's new clothes. Although each film looked very new, the overall picture was still a perfect rag.

After losing, I felt very dissatisfied, but because I was very lazy, I avoided the occurrence of excessive incidents.

A few days later, I read the books "The New Chapter of Taiping", "The Two Devils Traitor Li Fugui", "Under the Titan Sky", and "Guangxu Zhonghua". To be honest, in the Xiaobai period, I had very few attention to history. Except for the good books such as "The Lion Walk", "The Resurrection of China", and "New Song", the others were not in the corner of my eyes. Except for the book "Titan", the other books are still good, the rest of these four books are just for leisure time. I have never read them carefully.

However, after reading it, I feel that due to the differences in the past, if you read "Taiping New Chapter" and "The Two Devils Traitor Li Fugui" at the same historical progress, you will find something strange. The two seem to be opponents, but they are not practicing on the same stage. However, in terms of the rigorous structure, both are good examples to learn from.

After studying, I felt that I was not enough. Fortunately, I had a great man as a backer. If I didn’t understand, I asked, and if I didn’t understand, I would go to QQ. Finally, I made up my mind to overhaul my article.

After the revision, it turned out that the manuscript of 130,000 words was left, and the newly added content was 80,000 to 90,000 words. It was a big change. If you tell others that this was XXX's revised manuscript, it would be unreasonable, so you had to open a new book title "The Great Empire of China"

This is the origin of the Chinese Empire. To solve the confusion of book friends, it is not that they will be eunuchs after being in seclusion for a month, but that after being in seclusion for a month, they find that they cannot be described as modifications.

The original purpose of my book was to read the book, and I always saw some authors predicting history and inventing new weapons at any time. What's more, some brought countless personnel and equipment. With the help of these things that seriously destroy the balance of history, the protagonist still could not quickly unify China.

Under my imagination, with these things, China should be unified within a few years. If YY is only a few months, those who have fought the Conquest series should understand that cheating will be easy to unify the whole world.

If I am used to seeing these gold-fingered people, I wonder if a person does not bring anything, can he create a world with his own thoughts?

After reading the sixty years of the late Qing Dynasty, the beginning of China's early modern modern model, the development of world weapons technology during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Stavrianos - General History of the Global - Chapter 11 of the Industrial Revolution and other materials, I realized that China did not lack other ideas at that time.

At that time, national strength should be second only to Britain, the United States, France, Germany and Russia, with the first population and far ahead. Although the economy has a deficit every year, the deficit is not long. After 1878, only a decade later, the surplus of hundreds of years was not so easy to consume, and the private capital was also very sufficient. Several wars at that time, such as China-France and the Ili War, they all won, but why would there be a defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895?

In fact, I didn't see that in order to consolidate my rule, the rulers at that time did not dare to adopt advanced production processes, which led to worse and worse national strength. For Western countries at the same time, please see

In 1890, Germany's naval funding was $23 million, less than its army funding back then.

1/5, accounting for only 1/3 of the British Navy's allocation that year, equivalent to 1/2 of the French Navy's allocation that year. To 1887

①[France] EU: Volume 2 of "German Army Examination", 1901 Printed Version, Pages 34-35.

① German Navy: "German Navy Regulations", published in 1887.

By 1890, the total number of German naval ships was 65, with a total displacement of 176,000 tons.

The National Navy had 72 ships of about 190,000 tons. At this time, Germany did not have more than 10,000 tons of warships, but most of them were two.

The combat capability of a 3,000-ton second-class cruiser is mostly limited to defending its own coasts and estuaries.

However, by the last few years of the late 19th century, Germany's naval construction policy had undergone fundamental changes.

It also tried to build an offensive fleet with strong strength. The German emperor and ministers wanted to

Create a powerful fleet to cooperate and protect Germany's growing overseas commercial and colonial interests,

In the time, it was used to show the power of Germany. In the comments of the German Emperor, this idea was expressed everywhere: Others

The country, especially the United Kingdom, always ignores the various requirements put forward by Germany on the international stage.

Some of them are because Germany does not have enough naval power to support its requirements. For this reason, the German Navy has successively

New bills to expand the navy were proposed twice in 1898 and 1900, and both were approved by Congress.

Through these two new bills, Germany's naval funding reached 7476,287 pounds in 1900, of which

The ship fee reached 2.395 million pounds. After 1901, the German Navy's funding and shipbuilding speed increased

Intensified, and thus aroused the vigilance of Britain, the world's largest naval power. The two countries went from 1904 to 1908

In 2019, fierce competition for naval construction began.

Please note that if you calculate based on Chinese silver, you have to multiply seven. In other words, Germany invested 50 million taels of silver to build a navy in 1900. You should know that the annual income of the Qing Dynasty was only 80 million yuan per year, and the gap was already huge at this time.

But there is one country worth learning from in China, that is, Russia. Several industrial revolutions in Russia have developed rapidly for decades. If China also boarded the express train of these industrial revolutions, will a new China appear?

Chapters from the Chinese Empire will reveal all this.
Chapter completed!
