From Chief to Ball

Philosophy is inseparable from the development of natural science. Without the foundation of philosophy laid hundreds of years ago, and without the foundation of natural science such as the theory of atoms and molecules, mechanics, and mathematical limits in the past few years, it is difficult to ask this question. .

The theory of contradiction is just a tool that can be used to do many things.Rebellion can find the right time, exploitation can ease conflicts, and when colonists and indigenous people fight, they can find better solutions... The tools are in hand, and the key is how to use them and where to use them.

Originally, it only took a few days to repair the ship's side and sails, but it took Chen Jian seven days to say the simple phrase "Tao begets two, two begets three." If the world is constantly changing, it will expand into a theory of contradiction.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Mexican Party splitting into a loose progressive alliance, Chen Jian seized the right to interpret the ideology of the New Mexican Party, which was in the minority.

With the help of the history books that he had supplemented in the past few years, he finally explained many problems in the history of the mist with the theory of contradiction—he only read a general history, but carefully studied a small section of history, so the example Most of them are also extracted from this small period of history.The history is vast, especially the early popularization of writing and paper. It is completely impossible to claim to be proficient in hundreds of years. Mastering a short section will often make people look up to a mountain, and sometimes they will mistakenly think that they are also proficient in other places.

This kind of world view explanation, which is not really novel but has a simple view of history, also refreshed the recorders and made enough notes.

This thing seems useless, but it is actually very useful.It seems like a waste of time, but in fact these seven days have prepared for the road ahead.

As the fog dissipates, the world line has become chaotic.All kinds of contradictions are intertwined, not only between ethnic groups and civilizations, but also between colonists, aboriginals, and homeland.

In the future, discussions on major events will also focus on what is the main contradiction and the secondary contradictions, instead of taking one step at a time in a daze, trying to spend a hundred years trying to figure out how to build the colony is the most beneficial.

……

After staying on the island for seven days, the savage finally regained the ability to speak, but he couldn't understand the language at all, and the young "fleet commander" on the other side didn't seem to have much interest in communicating with him. arrogant.

His name is translated according to the more elegant square characters, which can be called Yang Sen, and the free translation is nothing more than the son of a man named Yang.

Yang Sen is a member of the Republic of Seven Provinces, Calvinism.It is said to be a republic of seven provinces, but in fact there are eight provinces. However, a poor province cannot pay too much tax and is always relieved, so the name of the country is mixed up with eight, which is also a manifestation of the spirit of taxation equal to human rights.

Yang Sen is neither aristocrat nor rich businessman, he belongs to an ordinary family, but this small family has experienced the changes of the times.

His father participated in the sea beggars movement, robbed Spanish ships, also dug fortifications on land, and used turtle shell tactics to fight against the Spaniards.

When Yang Sen grows up, it can be regarded as ushering in a short period of peace.The Spaniards took advantage of the chance that the King of Portugal had no heirs and served as the King of Portugal for two years. At the same time, they tore up with the United Kingdom. By the way, they also had to maintain the glory of the religious fanatic guardian and the desert religion. There is more than enough energy.

A few years ago, the East India Company of the Netherlands monopolized the trade with Asia and India, which made some businessmen extremely dissatisfied, and wanted to open up a way to directly reach Asia through the New World and avoid the East India Company's monopoly.

These businessmen donated money and asked for global exploration. Of course, they did not take the road in Africa. That road has been monopolized by the East India Company. Stealing people's money is like murdering their father. Moreover, legal monopoly is protected by law.

Since you don't take that path, there are only two paths to choose from.One is to take the southernmost point of the north and south, pass through the straits and turn into the Pacific Ocean; the other is to take the terrible storm and fog route, and find a way from the northern route from which many navigators have not returned, so that they can reach Asia directly.

The navigator didn't know what it was like without going into the fog, and named it the Sea of ​​Satan, which is independent of another sea area between the two oceans.

The South American colonies controlled by Spain have routes that do not need to bypass the Drake Passage to go directly to Asia, but the Spaniards in that area are powerful, and the merchants in the Netherlands hope to open up a new route that does not pass through the waters controlled by the Spaniards. , go directly to the Sea of ​​Satan.

The competitors of Jansen's fleet took the southern route, crossed the huge body of South America, and entered the Pacific Ocean from the extreme south.However, the fleet that Yang Sen belonged to went north, so naturally encountered a storm, and finally drifted to tropical seas, and was thrown to a small island after some disputes.

When the world is connected by sails, this kind of adventure becomes an inevitable accident.

But for Yang Sen, there was still some panic hidden behind this adventure.

He thought he was redeemed by God, but he found that the group of people who saved him didn't know what God was. Obviously, they neither prayed nor crossed themselves.

When he was in his hometown, he had heard some Western stories, and the West with them as the central perspective also knew the existence of Chinese people.

Judging from their hair accessories, skin color and the style of the sails, these people look very much like the legendary Chinese.

Judging from the number of people, this is a huge fleet, with cannons on board and full-time sailors and soldiers.These people respected a young man, and it seemed that this young man was the commander of the fleet, but such a young fleet commander was beyond Yang Sen's imagination.

When he set sail seven days later, Yang Sen discovered the cannons and muskets on these ships, and was even more amazed at the well-trained and strictly enforced sailors in this fleet.

The cannon were polished and their four-wheeled carriages were nothing like the two-wheeled carriages of Spanish galleons.The muskets in the hands of the soldiers are not matchlocks, but they don't look like spring wheel guns.

These people use chopsticks to eat, and two wooden sticks can skillfully pick up vegetables called "bean sprouts" on the bumpy sea. Yang Sen is also amazed to be able to eat such fresh vegetables on board.

These people, obviously, are lost souls, lost lambs who need to be saved.However, they didn't take it seriously, and they would do something like prayer every day, just like being on the island for seven days, but if they looked closely, it was more like discussing or discussing, without showing any respect for God.

What made Yang Sen even more puzzled was why the Chinese people appeared here?Where did they come from?Where are you going?What is the purpose of these people?

There was no one on board who he knew well, not even the Spaniards as enemies.

The sailors on board observed the angle of the North Star and the sun with a strange instrument, very delicate looking, made of brass.

The people on the boat looked at him very strangely, as if looking at a novel animal, which made Yang Sen feel very uneasy.

After several days of observation on the boat, the incomprehension caused by culture and civilization became more and more profound.

More than ten days later, something happened that made Yang Sen even more crazy!

The fleet suddenly seized and headed north.

He tried to tell these people with gestures that going north was a dead end, but the sailors didn't listen to him at all, they only obeyed the orders of the young fleet commander.

"God! What are they doing? There is a sea of ​​Satan, and no one can survive!"

Reminiscent of the weird location where this group of people appeared, Yang Sen suddenly felt a mass of fear: These people... are the sons of Satan, they came from hell and the storm.I was not redeemed at all, but was dragged into hell...

Chapter 3 The Fog Clears

After Chen Jian estimated the fleet's voyage, he ordered to turn north.

I have the concept of a world map in my mind, knowing that there are countless hidden reefs in that storm zone, and I can only go around to the tropical route and turn north.

It's just that he doesn't know what kind of social form is in that virgin land. South America and the old continent are still known world lines, but the world line on this new isolated island continent is brand new.

Is it like the centralized slavery of the Incas?Or like a federal Maya?Or is it an aborigine with the concept of public ownership of land like the primitive era?The redistribution of species, there are horses, cows, and those white races who migrated to the north of Xiacheng after all the hardships...

Everything is unknown, but Chen Jian knows that if there is no special change, according to the development, the ethnic group is at most in slavery.

The storm has died down, and the last of the fog protecting this group is about to dissipate, and a new era that is not an island is coming.

Everyone is fair, they are all on the same starting line, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. It depends on what kind of weirdness the world will turn into in the future.

On the sea, everyone on board saw such a spectacle.

Those dark clouds that look low from a distance reveal the blue sky as the sail approaches; those thick fog that gathers and disperses from time to time dissipates far away and turns into clouds in the sky with the white waves broken by the ship.

After a rumbling storm, the blue sky was clear and the sea was calm, except for the chant of the sailors pulling the sails.

Jansen knelt on the deck, praying constantly; while the sailors on the ship climbed up the high mast, cheering loudly for such a voyage that seemed to split the clouds like a miracle.

When the ship finally reached 32 degrees north latitude, Chen Jian ordered to turn east.

After a few days of sailing, the experienced crew has determined that this place is close to the land, and there will be a very wide river.

From a distance, the color of the sea water was no longer the color of the deep sea. It was obvious that a large amount of fresh water had washed into the sea.

After more than a month of arduous sailing, the sailors got excited and took turns climbing to the mast to watch.

There were more frigate birds and seagulls, and finally on the morning of April NO.13, a sailor shouted from the mast: "Land! Land!"

All the sailors on the Lanfang who could climb the mast swarmed onto the mast, watching with naked eyes or binoculars.
