Chapter 1064

Chapter 1064

Rhodes was really shocked by Liu Zheng.

In the Longyan Dynasty, there are only a few people who know the world.

Liu Zhizhou must be the first person to be so familiar with European civilization!

He even knows about the Glorious Revolution!

Britain in the seventeenth century was undoubtedly exciting. This was also the period when Great Britain really began to rise. In fact, these European civilizations can be simply summarized in one sentence... From ancient times to the present, they are Catholicism and Paganism

The struggle of Christians. This is basically the case in all countries. Great Britain is no exception. The so-called Glorious Revolution was after Queen Elizabeth established the state religion, domestic Catholics and Puritans began to fight, and finally overthrew the state religion, leading to the final conflict between the king and

The armed conflict in Congress eventually triggered a civil war.

After the Puritan leader Cromwell cleaned up the mess, he killed Charles I and established a republic. However, the newly established republic was naturally not welcomed by the royalists and Catholics. Especially at this time, the Netherlands had already risen.

, also began to fight against the British. After quelling the civil war, Cromwell changed from a dragon-slaying warrior to a dragon... He began to dissolve Congress and establish a dictatorship.

It was not until James finally succeeded to the throne that Parliament was restored. However, it was divided into two factions, one was the Royal Party and the other was the Democratic Party. After James II came to the throne, he tried his best to protect the Catholic Church and enforce autocratic politics. The two parties worked together to depose James.

Queen Elizabeth II welcomed her daughter Mary and son-in-law William as the masters of Britain. This is the so-called "Glorious Revolution".

The social revolution represented by the new aristocratic class overthrew the autocratic rule and established the British democratic system. It overturned the feudal rule and promulgated the document "Bill of Rights" in 1689 to clearly restrict the royal power in the form of law and established a parliamentary constitutional monarchy.

This is how constitutional monarchy came about!

This is not only a very important historical node for the UK, but also a historical node that affects the world!

Therefore, Liu Zheng has a very profound memory of this point.

After seeing Rhodes' reaction, Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

Good guy...

Europe is at its most lively right now.

Seventeenth century!

This is a wonderful century! This is a century of colonialism. It is also the most wonderful century, a century that connects the past and the future! This is a century of primitive and rapid accumulation of capital!

How can I not join in the fun myself?

Talent!

At this time, Liu Zheng's demand for talents is no longer limited to the Longyan Dynasty. He needs to recruit more European talents!

He waved his hand and asked Rhodes to leave temporarily.

Liu Zheng started to get confused.

Logically speaking, he summoned Rhodes to Liangshan because he wanted him to replace him, study opium here, and set up a chemical laboratory or even a chemical factory.

But now...

He felt that Rhodes alone might not be enough.

What he needs is the great openness of thought brought about by the Renaissance after the end of the long Middle Ages in the seventeenth century, and the capitalist thought, liberation of productivity, and the liberation of human spiritual thought after the destruction of theological dogmatism.

, and then followed the liberation and rapid development of various fields such as technology, science, mathematics, physics and chemistry, etc...

For example, in navigation, in order to determine the position of a ship, more precise astronomical observations are required.

In the military aspect, ballistics has become a central topic of research. The manufacture of accurate timepieces, the excavation of canals, the construction of dams, the theory of planetary elliptical orbits, etc. also require many complex calculations. Elementary mathematics since ancient Greece has gradually

It could no longer meet the needs at that time.

Liu Zheng fell into his own thoughts again.

He is thinking.

How should he go next?

Sudden.

At this time, his eyes lit up.

Maybe, I should go to Wangbei Academy as soon as possible.
