Chapter 793 The Theoretical Basis for Destroying the Country
The African Legion is on the march!
When he got the news, Saigo Takamori felt extremely disappointed. How could he not be disappointed?
Before coming to Ming Dynasty, he had already learned from His Majesty the Emperor about Ming Dynasty's "Africa Plan" - Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy all the unclaimed land south of 10 degrees north latitude on the African continent.
How big is it?
That’s tens of millions of square kilometers of land!
Faced with such a huge plan, Saigo Takamori was not only surprised, but also eager. He longed to join the army, lead the army to Africa, and become the conqueror of that land.
After all, according to His Majesty.
"The African continent is where I test my katana!"
No wonder His Majesty wants to recruit 200,000 warriors to conquer such a vast area. Let alone 200,000 warriors, even if all 400,000 warriors go into battle, it may not be enough!
The most glorious moment of the Wu family is coming!
It was from that day that Xigo Takamori devoted himself to Africa and searched for books related to Africa in the library all day long. However, to his disappointment, there were too few books about Africa. He even bought one.
A map of Africa... As a result, except for a few colonies, the rest of the map was blank.
"Oh, if we had chosen to expand here back then, there would certainly not have been so much resistance!" While sighing that the world is so big, Saigo Takamori couldn't help but regret a little. If the Japanese had not only focused on North Korea, they would have even been ambitious.
Instead of focusing on China, they focused their attention on Africa and...
"This is impossible, Xixiang, the Ming Dynasty can do it, but Japan cannot. When the Ming Dynasty entered Africa, it also came as a country of tigers and wolves."
After understanding his idea, Yan Gushi told him directly that it was a "wishful wishful thinking".
"Don't say that Japan doesn't have ships to send troops and immigrants to Africa. It just sends people there. If Britain intervenes, what will Japan do to stop Britain?"
To this day, Saigo Takamori still remembers what the drunk Iwagumi said that night when he was looking at the map of Africa and expressed his fantasy of "what if Japan occupied Africa."
"There is only one truth in this world - power is truth. Have you read "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution"? This world is about the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle. Japan is the weak in nature. It has only two destinies, either to follow the strong or to follow the strong.
Survive by blending in with the strong, or be eliminated by the world as a weakling!"
"Tianyan Lun" was written by Emperor Zhu Da himself based on the theory of evolution pioneered by Darwin.
Who are the scholars?
In fact, it was just a book that Emperor Zhu Da took out from the mall. The author became himself. As for the translator Yan Fu, the author was gone. Besides, it was a translator. After seeing this book, Emperor Zhu Da directly chose
"Plagiarism" caused this book to come out decades early.
There is no other reason. Emperor Zhu Da needs the book "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" because Yan Fu's book is actually a very wonderful political essay. The book believes that all things follow the natural law of "natural selection"
Change, "physical competition" is the "competition for survival" between organisms, superior species defeat inferior species, strong species defeat weak species; "natural selection" is natural selection, natural elimination, organisms are in the "competition for survival" and "natural elimination"
” evolved in the process.
Since the publication of "The Theory of Heaven's Evolution" three years ago, while causing a sensation in the Ming Dynasty, it has also become extremely popular in Japan. The reformers used "The Theory of Heaven's Evolution" to point out that the unchanging law and Wei will follow the common law of victory over the inferior and the country will perish.
Dead species!
It's a pity that they have changed half way, and Japan is gone...
However, "Tianyan Lun" has deeply influenced many people, including the reform elites including Yan Gushi. They chose to merge with the Ming Dynasty. In addition to political reasons, there is another reason. Their thoughts were influenced by "The Theory of Evolution".
The influence of the idea of "natural selection" in "The Theory of Natural Evolution".
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Although Japan is a weakling and is destined to be eliminated according to the laws of nature, Japan has a father! Japan has a big fat leg, what is this? Isn't this "survival of the fittest"!
As a result, "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" even became the "ideological basis" for Japan's annexation to the Ming Dynasty. In Japan, no, in the current Japanese islands, this book is very popular. Words such as natural selection and the victory of the fittest have become popular among people.
mantra.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest! This is the essence of this world!"
Thinking about Iwatoshi's words, Saigo Takamori felt heavy.
In fact, that was just an idea of his. He just hoped... But from that day on, he never dreamed again. Instead, he seriously studied the "African Strategy". He studied how to attack over and over again.
How to march and how to lead an army to conquer that vast land.
"Africa will be a gift from the 400,000 Japanese nobles to His Majesty the Emperor!"
After conquering that land, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be stingy with the rewards. The warriors will get land, wealth and everything else they lost there. This is the promise His Majesty once gave him.
Of course, he, Saigo Takamori, will also earn a reputation both before and after him.
But now, when he learned that the "African Legion" had set off, Saigo Takamori was immediately dumbfounded. How could he not be dumbfounded?
It was not the "Afrika Legion" that went to Africa, but his dream!
"Your Majesty, how can you not use me as a minister?"
Xixiang Takamori felt so disappointed. In his opinion, he had simply been forgotten. Of course, he couldn't say that, after all, he was also a dignified major general of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that there is no actual job title.
"Why, even that guy Iwakura can be reused, but why isn't he used..."
Suddenly Saigo Takamori stopped talking. Why was Iwakura reused? Is it just because of his contribution?
Of course not, because Iwakura is no longer Iwakura!
Iwagura Toshi is called Iwakura Toshi!
People have long recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan and become people of the Ming Dynasty. This guy is definitely a person who understands current affairs, so he will be reused!
"Xixiang, Xixiang, if you want to show your ambition, you can't be too persistent! Now Japan no longer exists, and His Majesty the Emperor is also your lord, you should wake up as soon as possible!"
Talking to himself like this, Saigo Takamori walked to the bookcase. He took out a copy of "Tianyan Lun", read it for a while, and finally said as if he had made up his mind.
"Natural selection, the survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest... This is the way of nature! Xixi, Your Majesty is truly your Majesty! I finally understand now..."
