C1889 Chinese Charm (1/2)
In Europe after the Renaissance, the whole world was a process of rational recovery. As the darkness of the Middle Ages gradually faded away, people gradually began to reflect on the shortcomings of the divine right when it came to ruling over Europe. A wave of religious reform swept through Europe, and the emergence of the Protestantism was due to this wave of influence.
The overthrow of the aura of divine right liberated the power of kings and nobles, who were the direct beneficiaries of this wave. From that moment on, the national resources began to leave the control of the divine right and began to flow according to the will of kings and capitalists.
This created a firm foundation for the creation of the The Age of Great Navigation and the Industrial Revolution, and was also an important reason for Europe to seize historical opportunities.
Because of the advent of the Age of Reason, because of the awakening of people's consciousness, Europe was freed from the control of theocracy. However, this wave of rationality did not only affect theocracy.
When the divine right was completely pushed back, when the power of the kings and nobles was too great, the waves began to blow towards the nobles.
This was an irreversible trend in this era, because this was the final result of the opening of the intelligence of the people. From the end of the nineteenth century until the end of the twentieth century, the greatest change in the human world was the great expansion of the wisdom of the people, as well as the awakening of their consciousness.
Right now, the politicians in Europe did not really care about this power, but Xiao Letian did not dare to underestimate it. He knew how strong this public sentiment was, so he had to prepare in advance.
The Chinese Eastern series weren't only to avenge the European people, they were also to say how powerful the Chinese were being bullied by the Sha Russian, how unreasonable and how brutal the Sha Russian was.
Fighting for the sympathy of the European people, then forging a righteous side of himself was of course important. And the other very important mission was to spread the Chinese faith and this flag to Europe.
If Xiao Letian wanted to defeat Europe, he had to first differentiate Europe. If he wanted to differentiate Europe first, he would need the first batch of fans, and that would be the first batch of fans, that would be the first batch of fans.
The various systems in the Chinese Statute Book were not perfect, but at this stage in 1869, there was still a lot of light compared to the system in Europe.
Because Europe was not a free and democratic place at the time, the king and the nobles, together with the powerful capitalists, had oppressed the people to an unspeakable degree.
Although the Chinese Statute Book retained the Six Jue Eighteen Nobility System, it greatly reduced the power of the nobility and gave the common people a great way to advance.
This was simply too amazing. To be able to give the masses a chance to advance, no matter how rugged or difficult it was, it was still better than being nothing.
It could be said that the emergence of the Chinese series had resonated with many of the lower classes and independent intellectuals in Europe.
”Look at the other Chinese … ”First, I'll become an immigrant. As long as I can learn the language, I'll be able to become a commoner after three years of research …”
”That's right. Civilians, you just need to follow the law, join the army bravely, or engage in social charity activities... After reaching the citizen score, you will be able to apply to become a citizen! ”
”Look, as long as you become a citizen, you'll have the right to participate in politics. You'll be able to work in government departments, and many high-paying jobs will be deemed fated for you …”
”The most important thing is still your military exploits. As long as you have outstanding military exploits or outstanding scientific research results … As long as you are outstanding, you have the qualifications to become a noble! ”Oh my god, a noble can be one even without blood!”
This refreshing system suddenly hit the soft spot of many talented intellectuals and the poor working class.
