Short video: Shocking the world

[They are all the same people, with the same life span, but it has been a rule since ancient times that a few people control most resources. ]

Looking at the comments of people in later generations, the farmers in ancient times felt sad.

Indeed, as people in later generations said, they worked hard to farm, but they didn't have much food. They relied on the land to survive. If they encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters, they would not harvest a grain in a year. If natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, there would be no harvest for several years.

Some farmers have no land. In order to survive and to allow their descendants to continue, they have been farming for landlords for generations.

[If you travel back to ancient times, you hope to be born into a famous family. If you are unfortunately born in a farming family, you hope that the world will be peaceful and the emperor will be kind to the people. If you have nothing to do with either, then rebel quickly. You can't stand the days in ancient times! ]

Rulers of all dynasties: People in later generations, can you say less of this kind of words? We can see what you say! If you continue to talk, our world will be in chaos before you come to ancient times!

The ancient emperors and kings who ruled in troubled times were made incoherent by the people of later generations.

[Our grain production is what it is today, thanks to Grandpa Yuan! ]

[If Yuan Lao was in ancient times, he would at least be an agricultural saint! ]

[There were a lot of saints in ancient times, and one of them was an agricultural saint. ]

[Can he be compared with Yuan Lao? ]

[I looked it up online. The ancient agricultural saint was called Jia Sixie. He was a prefect in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he paid great attention to agriculture. He would be a scientist today. He opposed the conclusion that "life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven", and believed that agriculture is the foundation of people's food and clothing. Only by developing production can we enrich the people and strengthen the country. He advocated the use and promotion of agricultural science and technology, reform of farming systems, and the construction of water conservancy for irrigation. He also wrote the earliest agricultural book "Qimin Yaoshu". ]

[So amazing? Why haven't I heard of it before? ]

People before the Northern Wei Dynasty: We haven't heard of it either! What did "Qimin Yaoshu" write?

[Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism has become increasingly high. The country governs the country with Confucianism. Among all the saints in ancient times, Confucius is the most valuable and has the highest status. ]

[In ancient times, those who can be called saints are more or less capable. ]

[Times are different. If you put it in the present, Confucius is not worthy of being compared with Yuan Lao! ]

[If you put this in the ancient times, I guess any scholar will beat you to death. ]

"Yuan Lao, the one mentioned by people in the future, must be the one who increased the grain yield per mu to more than 2,000 kilograms. In the same era, I am indeed not worthy of being compared with him!"

The person who said this was Confucius himself.

In his era, the grain yield was only more than 100 kilograms.

Compared with Yuan Lao's hybrid rice, the grain yield is more than 20 times.

This more than 20 times grain yield, in ancient times, was enough to drive the monarchs of various countries crazy.

...

Rulers of all dynasties in all planes are jealous.

That's more than 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu!

"I'm not greedy. If someone can make grain yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, I will make him the Agricultural Saint, with a status higher than Confucius! All descendants will inherit the title of Duke, and it will be hereditary!"

"Incompetent! Why can't anyone in our dynasty increase grain production?"

...

[Since the Maxim heavy machine gun, the brave and warlike grassland people have become hospitable, singing and dancing#The End of the Cavalry]

"What kind of gun is the Maxim heavy machine gun? Is it heavy?"

"It's just a gun. Does it have divine power? Can it turn us grassland people from wolves to dogs?"

"This Maxim heavy machine gun sounds like a foreign weapon. It's definitely not a long gun, but a foreign firearm."

"I feel like people in later generations are mocking us grassland people!"

Ancient firearms first appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, developed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the manufacturing technology was quite mature in the Yuan Dynasty. Special firearms troops appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, people in different periods have different perceptions of the name "Maxim heavy machine gun".

["I often see this sentence on the Internet, saying that since the Maxim heavy machine gun, the brave and warlike grassland people have become hospitable and singing and dancing. I don't know which grassland you are talking about, but it is true!"]

["The Maxim heavy machine gun is the meat grinder of the two world wars. Its appearance not only ended the cavalry era, but also became the nightmare of the infantry."]

The video shows the scenes of cavalry and infantry charging forward one after another.

What greeted them was the Maxim heavy machine gun's sweeping.

Bullets passed through their bodies, and people fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing this scene, not only the grassland people were shocked.

Except for the late Qing Dynasty, all dynasties in history were shocked and even terrified.

"Is this the weapon of later generations? It's terrifying!" Qin Shihuang Yingzheng analyzed: "The industrial, science, the Maxim heavy machine gun was made like this, right? ! "

Tang Taizong Li Shimin sighed: "Killing people is easier than mowing grass! The end of cavalry is indeed the end of cavalry! As long as there are enough heavy machine guns, no matter how many cavalry are there, they will not be enough to kill!"

Han Wudi Liu Che longed: "If I have such a weapon in my hand, whether it is the Huns in the north, the Southeast Yi, the Southwest Yi, or the Western Regions, whoever dares to be an enemy of my Han Dynasty, I can easily make them exterminate and destroy their country!"

"Times have changed! Firearms have become so powerful in later generations!" Genghis Khan had to sigh that cavalry was really useless in front of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

The grassland people of other dynasties were even more afraid that the Central Plains dynasty would develop this kind of "machine gun" to fight them.

["The Maxim machine gun was born in 1883 and is the world's first truly automated weapon."]

"1883? The first video played on the sky screen, I remember that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed in 1912. According to this speculation, people in the late Qing Dynasty should have seen the Maxim machine gun, and even the Qing Dynasty had this weapon! "

"The future is 2024, and 1883 is more than a hundred years away from 2024. So the Maxim heavy machine gun may not be the strongest weapon in the future!"

The ancients were not stupid people. According to the time when the Maxim machine gun was born, many things can be inferred.

["It weighs 27 kilograms, has a caliber of 11.43 mm, a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, and a maximum effective range of 1,000 meters. It uses gunpowder and gas as power, and cools the barrel by injecting water, so that the heated water vapor circulates and cools it, giving it unlimited continuous shooting capabilities. "]

["Like the Gatling gun, the Maxim machine gun was also neglected by the military when it came out, thinking it was too bulky. ”]

【“Until the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the German army used the Maxim machine gun to kill 60,000 British soldiers in just one day, turning thousands of women in Europe into widows, which made the Maxim machine gun famous in one battle.”]

“60,000 soldiers were killed in one day? Awesome!”

“Are these 60,000 British soldiers not peasants? They are not old, weak, sick or disabled? Losing 60,000 strong men in one day is a heavy loss!”

Cao Cao: Widow…

As soon as he saw this word, Cao Cao couldn’t help getting excited.

Not only Cao Cao, but many people in history were like this.

It seems that they all have the appearance of heroes!

【“Since then, the armies of various countries have been equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns one after another. During the entire World War I, more than 1 million soldiers died under the Maxim machine gun. This shows the terrifying power of the Maxim machine gun. It can be said without panic that it harvested a generation of people in Europe at that time.”]
