Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With many complex emotions such as shock and disbelief, Ali Pasha, Moses and his party continued to travel westward. Every time they arrived at a town, they would stop and pay special attention to the relevant information.

    As Alimu said, there are newly established schools in every town under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. People around the schools, whether they are Han people or people from other tribes, must send their children of school age.  School is in session.

    Whenever he was next to the school, watching children from various tribes sitting together and reciting ancient poems of the Ming Dynasty, Ali Pasha was deeply impressed by this huge empire.

    Since ancient times, knowledge has been the most precious thing.

    Whether in the Ming Dynasty or elsewhere in the world, studying is a luxury. Basically, only nobles and rich people can afford to go to school. The vast majority of people can only be illiterate throughout their lives.  of illiteracy.

    However, now in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire has actually begun to popularize education and universalize education. The court spends tens of millions of taels of silver every year to build basic schools in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and requires all children of school age to go to school.

    This is terrible.

    People who have read books may not necessarily be promising, but people who are promising are definitely people who have read books.

    This principle has remained unchanged since ancient times, both at home and abroad.

    How many talents will emerge in the future from the Ming Empire, which vigorously promoted education?

    I¡¯m afraid no one can know that the Ming Empire now has a huge population of hundreds of millions, and there will be more people in the future. If they are all people who have read books, is it possible that the Ming Empire will weaken?

    Does the Ottoman Empire still have a chance to defeat the Ming Empire?

    Can we still avenge our shame and take back the South Caucasus?

    ¡°Obviously, and without a doubt, hope is only getting slimmer.

    "The power of the Ming Empire. We often only see the Ming Empire's powerful military strength, vast territory and huge population, but few people pay attention to the education of the Ming Empire."

    ¡°The Ming Empire was a vast territory, and there were many tribes living in it. The majority were Han people, but most of the Han people lived in the Central Plains. In the frontier areas, there were few Han people, and there were more people from various tribes.¡±

    "Take the Western Regions as an example. According to the latest census data from the Ming Empire, in the Western Regions, the number of Han people is only 20%, and this is the result of the Ming Dynasty's vigorous immigration. The rest are people from various tribes."

    "Originally, I thought that our Ottoman Empire had no chance to take revenge and take back the South Caucasus, but now it seems that we have no chance now and will have no chance in the future."

    "You can imagine this picture. In schools, children from various tribes wear different clothes and have different looks, but they are all learning Ming dialect, writing Ming characters, and reciting in unison.  , ancient poems praising the Ming Dynasty."

    "This is education, and it is also the integration of culture and nationality. Maybe in a few decades, people here in the Western Regions will no longer be able to tell who is who. They will only know that they are from the Ming Empire, and they will only know that they are from the Ming Empire.  I proudly call myself the descendant of the dragon, the descendant of Yan and Huang."

    "I have to admire the person who formulated this policy. He is a truly wise person. He clearly saw the problems that would arise when different tribes live together, and he also clearly knew how to eliminate these problems."

    ¡°Taking education as the foundation and establishing a common language and characters will ultimately achieve true unification of the world.¡±

    "Our Ottoman Empire is also a multi-ethnic and multi-tribal country, but the reason why we are able to rule a huge territory relies on the military aristocracy and strong military power."

    "When we are strong, there is no big problem, but once we are weak, all kinds of things will happen in various regions and tribes."

    "Because in the final analysis, various regions and tribes do not have a common language and writing, and there is a lack of recognition and trust between each other. Even if they are forcibly brought together, they will eventually fall apart."

    "The Ming Empire also clearly realized this, so they vigorously promoted education and Han culture. Changing Chinese surnames and taking Chinese names was only the first step."

    ¡°Unify weights and measures, unify currency, unify language and characters, and rely on education to instill common ideas and culture. Only then can they be firmly united and form common values ??and concepts.¡±

    ¡°Of course, the role of education goes far beyond that.¡±

    ¡°On top of a large amount of basic education, the Ming government stillSenior high schools have been established in various places to provide in-depth education and learning and to cultivate various talents.  "

    "It is said that in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are various specialized schools, such as shipbuilding academy, military academy, bridge construction academy, medical school, art academy, music academy, physics academy, astronomy academy, etc., which can train a large number of talents every year.  Talents, and this is why the Ming Empire¡¯s guns, bows, arrows, weapons, armors, etc. are the best in the world.¡±

    Sitting in the carriage, Ali Pasha wrote this with his pen.

    "Hoo~"

    Put down the pen in your hand and look at both sides of the straight cement road. The scenery is charming. There are many business travelers coming and going. From time to time, you can encounter huge convoys, with dozens or hundreds of four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods.

    "I haven't even reached the capital of Ming Dynasty yet, but I have already gained a lot. This trip is really not in vain."

    "After I go back, I must advise the great Sultan that our Ottoman Empire must learn from the Ming Empire and learn all aspects of the Ming Empire, so that we can become stronger, otherwise we will never be able to defeat the Ming Empire."

    Ali Pasha was a far-sighted man. He saw the power of the Ming Empire and also saw many very useful policies of the Ming Empire.

    To be honest, at first Ali Pasha, like many people in the Ottoman Empire, felt unconvinced by losing to the Ming Empire. He always thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would seek revenge from the Ming Dynasty and regain everything lost.

    Everyone in the Ottoman Empire was looking for the reason for the defeat in World War I.

    Some people think that because the Ottoman Empire¡¯s forces were dispersed, they were able to concentrate their forces to defeat the invading army.

    Ali Pasha now clearly knows that even if the Ottoman Empire's army is scattered, can it be as dispersed as the Ming Empire's troops?

    At that time, the Ming Empire only sent 200,000 troops, but the Ming Empire actually had millions of troops scattered across the vast land. If millions of troops were really concentrated to attack the Ottoman Empire, I am afraid that the Ottoman Empire would be destroyed.  .

    Some people think it¡¯s because the Ming Empire¡¯s army has powerful firearms and has a large number of muskets and cannons, while the Ottoman Empire¡¯s army has very few. It is not as advanced and powerful as the Ming Empire, and is inferior to the Ming people in terms of weapons and equipment.

    Now, Ali Pasha knows that there is far more than just a difference in weapons and equipment. The army of the Ming Empire is a compulsory soldier. During the few years he was a soldier, he was completely free from work and devoted himself wholeheartedly to training.

    Every soldier has undergone rigorous training and undergoes a lot of training every day. Moreover, every soldier also learns to read and write. He has mastered various combat skills and survival skills that far exceed those of the Ottoman Empire.  Soldier.

    ??And more importantly, it also has a tenacious fighting will and a team spirit. Even with the same weapons and the same quantity, the Ottoman Empire's army will definitely not be able to defeat the soldiers of the Ming Empire.

    Because this gap is not just a gap in weapons and equipment, but a gap in all aspects.

    The Ming Empire had a special military academy to cultivate professional military talents. The officers in the army all studied and advanced in it, and they all have professional military qualities. How could it be compared to the troops temporarily recruited from various places by the Ottoman Empire?  ?

    Some people think that the reason why the Ottoman Empire cannot win is because the Ottoman Empire has no money and is not as rich as the Ming Dynasty, so the Ottoman Empire cannot win.

    But Ali Pasha now knows that this is just a very trivial aspect. The people of the Ming Dynasty are rich, but the fundamental reason is that the people of the Ming Empire attach great importance to education.

    Not only the education of the Ming Empire¡¯s army, but also the education of ordinary people. The emperor, the court, and even the wealthy people of the Ming Empire were willing to devote themselves to running schools, setting up schools, teaching and educating people.  In the eyes of Ming people, this is the most blessed thing.

    People in the Ming Dynasty also respect teachers. Teachers have a very high status. At the same time, they follow the educational philosophy of strict teachers producing outstanding students. They have strict requirements and management of students.

    "With this kind of Ming Empire, we have to be convinced of defeat and then learn with humility."

    Ali Pasha had a headache when he thought about the nobles in the Ottoman Empire clamoring for revenge against the Ming Dynasty.

    In the past, he still supported the ideas of these people, even the great Sultan. He felt that after the Ottoman Empire recovered its strength, it would definitely seek revenge from the Ming Empire.

    But after actually coming to the Ming Dynasty once, and after seeing what he saw here, Ali Pasha felt that the gap between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire was really too big, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a chasm.

    Even if the Ottoman Empire has returned to its peak strength, it is probably far from being a match for the Ming Empire. If it provokes the Ming Empire again, it will probably lead to catastrophe.

    The power of the Ming Empire is really not just military, but also powerful in all aspects. Whether it is military, economic, or other aspects, the Ming Empire is unmatched.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), the gap between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a chasm.
