Yi Zhongtian Chinese History: the Age of Discovery
by Yi Zhongtian
About This Novel
Ming Taizu's sea ban was very strict: no one was allowed to enter the sea. Therefore, more than sixty years after Zheng He's voyages to the West, the West began the historical process of geographical discovery and the opportunity to open the maritime century was handed over to others. After Aobai, there were no powerful ministers to act arrogantly; after the vassal withdrawal, there was no local separatism; after Yongzheng, there was no struggle for the throne; after the people were spread over the land, there was no rebellion by hungry people. There are too many problems that need to be solved to build a cross-cultural and multi-ethnic unified empire, but Kangxi and his successors answered them better than any previous dynasty. So, is the problem really solved? After meeting Qianlong in court, British diplomat Macartney said this: The Qing Empire was like a luxurious warship that was in disrepair and only relied on the support of the sailors to prevent it from sinking. The people in the first-class cabin didn't know this. Only a literary work felt that it was riddled with holes. She is the great "Dream of Red Mansions".
