C2327 Mercenary! (1/2)

Since ancient times, Europe has rarely had the Chinese sense of nativism, because for thousands of years its economy has relied on commerce rather than agriculture, which is nothing more than parallel to business than absolute.

Business requires mobility, and agriculture needs population locking. These are two different economic models. If two systems work at the same time, then naturally two different cultural circles will be created in society.

Before the discovery of geography, European commerce was developed but limited to coastal areas. The landlocked economies focused more on agriculture, so the feudal system was very stable. The feudal lords and dependent farmers formed the most basic social units.

One by one, overseas ports full of wealth and myths were discovered by the explorer. The colonies that were filled with opportunities waved to the destitute farmers, and a large number of people began to leave their hometown and head towards the deep blue sky.

The benefits of the two-track economy were seen at this point. Since the agricultural economy was not so dominant, there was no cultural system like that of the Chinese Confucianists, which was rooted in the soil. In other words, there was no single idea that prevented Europeans from leaving their hometowns.

Especially filial piety, in Europe does not exist, children to parents paid attention to love and not filial piety, love this kind of thing can not be quantified, and filial piety is the specific rules of energy ah!

Just by saying how many young people's feet China's parents had tied to their legs while they were away, this was one of the main reasons why China was unable to open up the The Age of Great Navigation and expand its colony.

China had a large population, but it was simply impossible to mobilize them. The human resources that the colonies needed to develop were completely caved in on the mainland, and the small amount of people living on the coast was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Europeans did not speak of filial piety. They would never have a great burden in their hearts if they left their parents behind and never saw them again. Most importantly, no one would condemn him for doing so.

Therefore, those youngsters at the bottom of the ladder who pursued a better life and urgently wanted to change their fates would throw themselves at the distant colonies without hesitation.

It is because so many young people are leaving their homes and so much European capital is going to be invested in more rewarding colonial causes that the local agricultural economy is shrinking.

Not only could they not get the support of capital, even their basic manpower was beginning to be insufficient. It was in this context that Governments began the black slave trade.

Using inexpensive slaves and slaves from other places to fill the black holes in the loss of the country's agricultural population.

This was an era that had lasted for hundreds of years. Capital chose a new direction, the king pointed his sharp sword at a new land, and even the Church loosened their supervision over Europe and started preaching to the new land.

Chaos, chaos, endless chaos! It is in the economy, politics, culture, military, religion... The era of the major change was the most crazy mercenary era in the history of Europe.

In this chaotic world, there was naturally food for those who relied on the sword. Young people who did not have knowledge, skills, or martial arts could only survive and could only sell their martial arts.

When the pirate industry was flourishing, they took in many of these youths. However, as the The Age of Great Navigation entered its final phase, it was no longer a good occupation to be a pirate. These people naturally became many Mercenaries s.

They were no ordinary bandits. Their fates were also very tragic. Some of them were desperate pirates who had gotten rid of their fate of being hanged and were forced to go ashore to beg for food.
