But how should we understand this demonic era? Let me think about it? We should start from the concept of beauty that we humans think. After all, we are always talking about the demonic behaviors of us humans, and even the vast number of civilians.

They are controlled and even exploited to death. This topic is really too heavy.

But we have to understand everything from the source, so now let’s carefully analyze the world of this era. Let’s first talk about something that happened in the navigation industry. I believe everyone knows this person, yes! This person is very famous.

Yes, he is also a character written into our human history books. His name is Columbus, but what was the purpose of Columbus's voyage? Let's first make a general analysis of this, and then take a closer look.

In fact, there was a navigation industry before Columbus, but the nature of the navigation industry at this time was actually the same as the Phoenicians we talked about before, just for profit. Without the temptation of profit, we humans would not make comparisons.

If something is abnormal, no effort will be made. This is my personal opinion, so let’s take a look.

Prince Henry was the third prince of King João I of Portugal. He was called the Navigator because he established a navigation school and rewarded navigation. In 1415, Henry himself led an army to raid Ceuta, which only took one day.

Time conquered Ceuta. Our descendants actually regard this event as the beginning of Portugal's foreign war. In 1420, Henry sent his first expedition with only one ship.

, looking south for Guinea. However, during the expedition, the ship was blown to the west, and the Madeira Islands were discovered.

In 1427, the fleet exploring the southwest discovered the Azores Islands. In 1444, Henry organized a voyage for the purpose of plundering slaves, bringing back more than 200 slaves at one time, and in

For sale on the outskirts of Ragush, this was also the beginning of the sinful slave trade in Europe that would last for four hundred years. In short, when transportation was underdeveloped, or the navigation industry was underdeveloped, these people who were sold as slaves were

They will not be discovered, but now because of the rapid development of the navigation industry, they have been discovered, and are treated as commodities by the people of the empire who are more powerful than them, and are sold and resold, but are they not human beings? No! They are actually the same as our earth.

It’s the same as everyone else, they are human beings!

By 1448, Prince Henry sent people to build a permanent fortress on Altyn Island at Brown's Point, which served as a transit point for Portuguese exploration and trade. By 1460, this marked the history of Portuguese maritime exploration.

A great era has ended. Why is it said to be great? Because this is for the Portuguese. They got slaves and resources, so this must be a very great era for them.

Then let’s take a look at Columbus right away. Columbus was born in Genoa City, Italy. The navigation industry here is also very developed, so he is also very aware of Portugal’s navigation history. Therefore, the young Columbus was very keen on sailing and adventure.

These basic conditions at present have laid a certain foundation for his future voyages.

At this time, it was already Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. During this period, the theory of round earth had been widely spread. What is the theory of round earth? In fact, we humans cannot see from the sky or outside the earth.

The overall picture of our earth, based on a frog-in-a-hole model, is that our earth is round, but it cannot be confirmed.

But in this case, people in Europe firmly believe that if they drive westward from their European coast, they will definitely reach the East. This is because "Marco Polo's Travels" has been completely spread,

Marco Pineapple depicts that the East is a paradise of gold and spices. So with the development of the European commodity economy and the emergence of capitalism at this time, the so-called currency crisis occurred. What is it? That is

As the raw materials of currency, there is a serious shortage of gold and silver, so more currencies cannot be made. This has led many Europeans to fanatically want to go to the East to obtain gold and silver to realize their dreams of getting rich, and Columbus was

The representative figure of this era, so we describe this matter from Columbus. But I think everyone should have guessed it, because this dream of getting rich has indirectly brought destructive properties to the entire East.

The disaster can also be said to have brought hell on earth to the East.

But now we humans usually use a more beautiful word to describe our own selfishness. For example, I write a book, but what is my purpose? In fact, to be honest with you, my purpose is to want everyone to

With money in my pocket, or after getting more money, I still want to go to Japan to give the money to Japanese girls through legal means, and then get special services from Japanese girls. However, speaking from the front,

If someone asks me why I write a book, I will never say that I am just for money and then go to Japan to find special services from Japanese girls. I will say that this is my dream! Yes! It is just the word dream!

Why do Europeans want to get rich now? In fact, it is to live a life of extravagance and debauchery. But when others ask them why they want to get rich, they will never say so. At this point, I believe everyone is the same.

We disagree, so now we still call this European dream of getting rich a dream, just like we call the purpose of Columbus's voyage a dream, and we won't talk about the very bad nature of it.

But dreams are dreams. For Europe at this time, going to the East was not an easy task. Another thing is that the traditional land trade channels between the East and the West have been cut off by the rise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

And the channels on the Mediterranean are controlled by the Arabs. Why? Because everyone wants gold and other resources. Whoever is strong and can control these roads will get more, right? For example, the Arabs

A roll of silk we get from China costs just one gold coin, but when the Arabs sell it to Europeans, it costs fifty gold coins, or one hundred gold coins. If you don't buy it, you won't get it.

Is this a case of goods monopoly? I think this is also the core belief of capitalism! As for whether I think it is right, I can’t hear what you said anyway, so I won’t explain it.

Now that we have talked about this situation, if Europeans want to realize their dreams, they must open up new routes. What is even more gratifying is that at this time, our Chinese compass has been introduced to Europe. This compass is very important.

At least for the navigation industry, because on the vast sea, there is sea water in all directions, and it is completely impossible to figure out the direction. If you understand the astrology, it is easy to say, but if you don't understand, this is simply a catastrophe for navigation! But!

The compass can identify the direction very accurately. Now with the compass, the European shipbuilding industry has reached a very high level. So at this time, Columbus, who was in the prime of life, thought that the conditions for his voyage were ripe, and then he

I decided to go on a long voyage.

Columbus's first voyage was actually not very smooth. The first problem was that he could not find sponsors. That is to say, no one provided him with resources or even ships. How could he go on a voyage? Isn't this just a fantasy, right?

?In 1486, Columbus told the Spanish royal family his own idea, and it was not approved until 1492, which means that at this time Columbus had a ship sponsored by the Spanish royal family. So far

With the support of the Spanish royal family, Columbus led three sailing ships and 87 sailors on August 3 of this year, setting out from Port Barros and sailing due west with the help of a compass.

.

After more than two months of turbulence, Columbus and his party finally discovered a piece of land with lush vegetation, so Columbus and his party were very happy to go ashore and named it San Salvador, which means savior. In fact, this island is the Bahamas.

One of them, we call it Walter Island today. But at this time Columbus made a mistake. He thought he was in India, so he did not continue westward, but turned south, along the coastline.

One after another, we arrived in today's Cuba and Haiti. Columbus called the indigenous peoples in this area Indians, that is, Indians, and he also learned about their customs, but he did not find a lot of gold.

Although Columbus did not directly obtain gold, his trip was not in vain. As soon as Columbus landed, he engaged in fraudulent trade with the local indigenous people, exchanging various waste items for their rare and valuable belongings. And the kind-hearted

The indigenous people treated Columbus and others as honored guests and actively helped them adapt to the local way of life, such as building houses, hunting and gathering, etc.

But after Columbus and his ambitious colonists established a foothold, they plundered and exploited the locals very crazily. They robbed their property, even raped their women, and even killed them. This was before leaving.

When Columbus arrived, they also captured ten Indians.

In this way, Columbus and his fleet returned to Port Barros, their starting point, on March 15, 1493, announcing to the people that they had found a new route to the East. Columbus was also favored by the king.

With the commendation, he rose rapidly into the ranks of the nobility. But it is not difficult to see that Columbus's aristocratic status was obtained by the kind-hearted Indians, their pain and suffocating despair. Regarding this point of view of mine,
