Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

In the agreement with the Portuguese appraisal, Qin Mu added a small item, that is, to let Jia Dier teach at the Great Qin Naval Academy, in terms of navigation skills and naval combat experience, it must be denied that Westerners are indeed ahead of China.

Be humble and learn from others, and you can never be wrong.

The Europeans had already completed their voyage around the globe, and the official Chinese ships had not sailed west to Malacca since Zheng He, and they knew almost nothing about the currents, sea conditions, monsoons, shipping lanes, and so on.

If you rely on the Great Qin Royal Navy to slowly explore, it will take a long time.

It would be great to learn this valuable knowledge from the Portuguese, as it would have greatly reduced the time it took for the Royal Navy to sail the seas.

The Royal Naval College, located in Ningbo, was officially spun off from the Army Academy.

The first batch of cadets were selected from the navy and were temporarily divided into several subjects, such as operational command, staff officers, logistics, and affairs.

Like the Army Academy, Qin Mu personally served as the dean, and freely taught the military posture and positive steps of the staff.

Similarly, the ideological education of naval cadets was also given top priority, the oath of servicemen was shouted several times a day, and the academy was full of various propaganda slogans.

Qin Mu also deliberately transferred Zhao Han, who was good at political propaganda, to the Naval Academy to be in charge of political education.

For this reason, Qin Mu decided to stay in Ningbo for 20 more days, he attached so much importance to the navy, because he hoped that the navy could compete for hegemony in the four seas as soon as possible, open up a large number of overseas colonies for Daqin, and provide a steady stream of blood transfusions for Daqin;

What is more important is to protect the unimpeded flow of Daqin's merchant ships, let Daqin's commodities be exported on a large scale, further stimulate domestic industrial development, and let Daqin complete the original capital accumulation as soon as possible.

Some will say that colonialism was too bloody and too cruel. It's not good to do that.

Bullshit, China has never colonized foreign countries in history, which country is grateful to China?

And those countries that have been colonized in later generations, who have a grudge against the former colonizers?

On the contrary, those countries that have been colonized will also thank the colonizers for giving them advanced ideas and cultures. I don't see a country that is grateful to China.

Although it cannot be said that the Manchus are already vulnerable, with the current situation, defeating the Manchus is only a matter of time. What is important is the restoration of people's livelihoods throughout the North.

Now the entire north of the Huai River is very erosive, and the people have no food and no clothing.

It's a huge mess, if not planned ahead. At the same time as the Manchu Qing was knocked out of the customs, Daqin immediately had to carry a huge burden;

At that time, in order to solve the most basic survival problem of tens of millions of people north of the Central Plains, Great Qin may no longer have the spare strength to send troops outside the pass.

If you can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the remnants in one fell swoop, after three or more years, it will be difficult to guarantee that the Manchu Qing will not recover again, and it will be ten times more troublesome.

Therefore, once the Northern Expedition is carried out, it is necessary to chase down the poor and eliminate them in one fell swoop. Leave no stone unturned.

At the same time, it is necessary to carry the huge burden of the north, and in this case, it is not enough to rely on the south to give blood transfusions to the north. This would make the South impoverished as well.

Therefore, Qin Mu set his sights on overseas and let the wealth from overseas come to transfuse blood for the entire north of the Huai River.

This is also the main reason why he did not rush to the Northern Expedition, but came to Ningbo and devoted his energy to the navy.

Neither Spain nor Holan had many troops in the South Seas. In Qin Mu's opinion. The navy made a sortie to attack the South Seas, and a few hundred warships and one or two thousand troops should be enough.

Send this little force. It will not occupy too much of Great Qin's war resources, and it will have little impact on the Northern Expedition.

Once they were able to seize the Spanish and Dutch colonies in the South Seas, they could use the resources of these colonies to transfuse blood to the north, which would greatly reduce the burden on the people of the south, even if it was not enough.

This is a holistic consideration, and it is not right to stare at the north just because the Tartars are in the north, treating the head with a headache and a pain in the feet.

Qin Mu will do that kind of thing to cut the inside and mend the sores, but it must not be his own flesh.

After teaching the naval cadets on this day, Qin Mu returned to the teaching house and asked Li Shi, "Where's the thing?" Is it done? ”

"Back to King Qin, it's done."

"Bring it."

What Li Shi then brought was a globe made according to Qin Mu's request, of course, it had not yet been mapped at this time.

Qin Mu asked people to take scissors and rice paper, and began to draw the shapes of the seven continents on the rice paper according to his impression of the map of the world.

Zheng Sen, Shi Lang, Tong Haifeng, Yang Qihuang, Shi Fu, Hong Xishan, and Ke Chenshu, as cadets of the Naval Academy's Operational Command Section, have been following Qin Mu these days.

When the seven of them saw the map drawn by Qin Mu, they couldn't help but be curious. Tong Haifeng, who was so handsome and talked a lot, couldn't help but ask, "King Qin, what are you painting?" ”

"Map of the World Realm."

"Map of the World Realm?" Now everyone was even more surprised.

"Don't interrupt, I'll tell you when I'm done painting."

While painting, Qin Mu silently recited in his heart: This is North Korea, like the mouth of a big rooster, and the four islands of Japan are like striped worms, uh, the big rooster can't have no mouth, otherwise this insect in Japan will be unscrupulous.

This is Russia, big enough, but this king is here, and he will definitely not let him go to Siberia again, well, when there is time, go and catch Ekaterina back to warm the bed, I don't know if she was born or not.

This is Indochina, this is the Philippines, no, it's Luzon. It's like the two legs of a big rooster, and with these two thick legs, the big rooster can stand firmly;

This is the South China Sea, this is my family's pond, no one wants to come here to spread wild here Malacca, this is India, now it seems to be called the Mughal Dynasty, lie down, lie down, let it become a dog lying at the feet of Daqin;

This is Sri Lanka, here the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, by the way, will come to Africa to find 100,000 slaves to dig the Suez River, Africa is so big, south, and then south, here is Madagascar, Madagascar straight to the west, roughly here, Gauteng Province of South Africa, the world's largest gold mine - the Rand gold mine is here

With endless obscenity, Qin Mu was not drawing a map, but as if he was staking a horse, anyway, he was full of pride, and the more he painted, the more excited he became, and he didn't even look up for a whole hour.

When he drew a map of the entire world, cut it with scissors, glued it to a ball, and made a globe.

Zheng Sen and the others stood silently for an hour, and at this time they came up one after another.

Qin Mu said: "Spain's Magellan has sailed around the world, proving that the world is a spherical shape, and the globe drawn by this king is roughly pieced together according to the map of the east and the west, which may not be very accurate, but the distribution of several continents is roughly like this. ”

"King Qin, why is my Great Qin so small?" Tong Haifeng asked suspiciously.

In the minds of the Chinese, China is vast and should be the largest, but on the map of the world drawn by Qin Mu, China's area only accounts for a small proportion.

Qin Mu replied: "The world is very large, containing endless wealth, which needs you to explore, you see, this is the Americas, the Europeans set out from here, crossed the ocean to the west, and easily obtained hundreds of millions of gold and silver treasures from the Americas.

Although China's kingdom is dozens of times larger than Portugal and Spain, except for Zheng He's fleet, which has reached the east coast of Africa, it has hardly been out of the South China Sea in the past two hundred years.

You see, what a feat it it is for the Europeans to go around the huge Africa, to go north from the Cape of Good Hope, to the east to reach India, and then continue eastward to reach the South Seas, and to our Great Qin, thousands of miles away, and we have not even stepped out of the little South Seas.

In contrast, I am not as good as a small country, and this king is deeply ashamed!

This king hopes that you can take a good look at this globe, take a look, the world is right in front of you, it is so vast, containing endless wealth, waiting for you to fight for it.

We can no longer be arrogant behind closed doors, this king is counting on you to one day, with my Great Qin's navy, sail all over the world, shock foreign lands, and make immortal feats that are incomparable to those of our predecessors. ”

Including Zheng Sen, looking at the globe, his eyes couldn't help but become hot, Qin Mu had taken them with him these days, and guided them bit by bit, so that they could return to their hearts unconsciously;

From time to time, with such an immortal fame, encourage them to look at the world and stimulate their ambition to travel all over the world, they are all young people in their twenties, full of vitality, the most easily infected, listening to Qin Mu's words, all of them are fascinated
