On January 1, "The Rise of the Great Power" was officially released nationwide.

The first printing of 50 copies has been distributed to major bookstores across the country.

You must know that the first printing of 50 copies is the amount that a super bestseller can only sell in a year. If "The Rise of the Great Power" is rushed, all the remaining unsold copies will become waste paper, and the loss will not be small. Adding in various costs, this number will run into millions.

Changjiang Publishing House prints 50 copies at a time. It can be seen that Du Wenhai is very confident in Chen Dong's new book.

Today is Saturday, Li Meng woke up early in the morning, washed his face, ate breakfast, went out, and walked to Bowen Bookstore not far from home.

Today he wants to go to the bookstore to buy a book called "The Rise of the Great Power", written by Qi Duwei.

When it comes to riding a captain, many people may find it very strange, but when it comes to riding a captain, many people are already familiar with it.

Li Meng is a fan of Chen Dong's books. After reading the first and second volumes of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", he has fallen in love with this kind of historical facts written in a humorous style. He reads the two books when he has time. , I watched it no less than a few times, and every time I saw a funny place, it made him laugh so hard that his stomach hurts, why is this funny.

After watching Parts 1 and 2 of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", he is already eager to watch the third, fourth, and the next few. Unfortunately, the third will not be released until next year.

He saw some news about Chen Dong's new book on the Internet yesterday, which immediately attracted him. He was very upset when he saw some so-called experts and scholars shooting at Chen Dong. He didn't even read the book, just because "Chen Dong is not a professional Historians who study foreign history complained that "The Struggle of a Great Power" would distort the real historical facts and mislead readers. He was speechless immediately, and there were such unreliable experts. I remember someone said that there would be no investigation without investigation. The right to speak, in the same way, if you haven't read the book, you don't have the right to criticize.

Don't think that being an expert or scholar can dominate the power of public opinion, and what you say is authoritative. Everyone is an idiot and can listen to you, bullshit.

Li Meng cursed a few words on Guo Liangyu's Weibo/blog, and after he finished cursing, he felt very refreshed.

Knowing that Chen Dong's new book was released today, he got up early.

Come to Bowen Bookstore.

I saw people crowded at the entrance of Bowen Bookstore, queuing up to check out with a book in hand.

The background of the cover of the book is the blue ocean, and a multi-masted sailboat with three spinnakers is sailing in the sea. Right above the book is printed the seven big characters of "The Struggle of a Great Country, Portugal", and next to it is a row of smaller ones. Black font, riding the captain.

Li Meng squeezed into the bookstore, went directly to the bookshelf of historical and factual books, and found the big country, and saw that there were not many books left. Fortunately, I got up early today, otherwise, I might have run away today. I took out a book from the bookshelf and saw that there was a long queue.

Li Meng didn't join the queue. Anyway, when "The Struggle of the Great Power" is sold out, naturally there won't be a long queue.

There are quite a few people who hold this kind of thinking. Many readers directly squat or sit cross-legged on the ground, holding "The Struggle of the Great Power" in their hands. Soliloquy.

Li Meng looked forward to this book even more, squatted down, opened the pages, and began to read.

The rise of a big country, Portugal.

Conquest begins with being conquered. In the 11 years from the 11th century BC to the 2000th century AD, wars continued on the Iberian Peninsula. This land was successively conquered by the Romans, Germans and Moors, just as There are bullfighters who don't care about their lives, and the people living on this piece of soil never stop fighting against the invaders...

In 1143 AD, Portugal, an independent monarchy, came into being in the war to recover the territory...

While reading, Li Meng was obsessed with the magnificent voyage in the book. Prince Enrique took his Italians, Arabs, Jews, Moors, experts and scholars of different races and beliefs to improve the The Chinese compass transformed the traditional European sea ship with only one four-corner sail into a multi-masted sailboat with two or three spinnakers. They traveled south along the west coast of Africa, and endless wealth poured in continuously. Lisbon,….

It turns out that the great voyage first started by Portugal in history was not smooth sailing, full of hardships and setbacks.First of all, Portugal has only less than [-] square kilometers of development space, and its resources are very scarce. The neighbors in the east are constantly fighting, and they are constantly invading this barren land. After two centuries of independence, the Kingdom of Portugal is still full of crises. Precarious.

How long can nation-states last?Where is the future of the Portuguese nation? ..., the Portuguese had to turn their attention to the Atlantic Ocean known as the "Green Sea of ​​Death"..., thus the Portuguese opened the beginning of a great voyage that lasted for centuries.

"Okay!" After reading the wonderful part, Li Meng took the picture and praised him, but there was no picture for him, and he couldn't take the picture on his own thigh.

The dialysis of the road to a strong country that has been penetrating into the inside has transformed Portugal from a precarious small country to the first world power by opening the era of great navigation, and once divided the entire world with Spain.

Unlike other historiographical works, it is boring and highly academic, but "The Struggle of a Great Power" does not have too many difficult and abstract academic theories and straightforward historical records, but uses a prose style of writing to condense it into smooth paragraphs A legendary historical story.It is similar to the writing style of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". It is also interesting, with a strong storyline, readers love to read it, and it has profound meaning. It uses history as a mirror, from the perspective of the rise and fall of a country, and has a wide perspective. It is not a region , The history of a country is the process of each strong country rising from the age of great voyages, developing from weak to strong, and finally flourishing and declining.

Looking at it, Li Meng was attracted by the contents of the book, unable to stop.

It wasn't until a person walked in front of him that he recovered from the fascination. He still had an expression on his face. He had already turned half of the book. He looked up at the cashier. There was no one in line, but people left from time to time Entering the bookstore, they saw that the bookshelves containing "The Rise of the Great Power" were empty. They asked the owner of the bookstore if there was any "Strange Rise of the Great Country". When the owner replied that it was sold out, they walked out of the bookstore very disappointed.

Li Meng stood up and walked towards the cashier with the book.

Suddenly, a young man stopped Li Meng, "My friend, I am a fan of Chen Dong's books. I like the books written by Chen Dong very much. Can you give me this book? I will pay double the money."

Hearing this, Li Meng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this book is very well written, I like reading it very much, and I can't transfer it to you."

"It seems that tomorrow will come early." The young man shook his head, turned and left the bookstore in disappointment.
