Introduction: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, because the Manchu Qing government closed the country and dreamed of a heavenly kingdom, the national strength lagged behind the world, and backwardness would be beaten. As a result, the sound of a cannon from the Western powers first rudely opened the door of China, and then awakened countless Chinese benevolent people. It is true that in the face of the reality of long-term backwardness, although China has a vast territory, it can only be slaughtered by others due to economic constraints. However, as an ancient civilization with thousands of years of history, China's vitality is not so easy to be exhausted.
Today, we will talk about Napoleon's evaluation of China, he once said: China is a sleeping lion. Initially, people took a non-committal attitude towards him, thinking that China was nothing more than a mess, and the Chinese people whose spirits were enslaved by opium were nothing more than a group of spiritually empty, walking dead puppets and puppets. However, as the Chinese people were forced to stand up, forced to resist, and finally used the Great Wall of Flesh and Blood to achieve a new New China, and people remembered Napoleon's words, which were considered god's prophecy. However, everyone may not know that in addition to this sentence, there is the next sentence, in fact, the next sentence is more terrible and more accurate.
The history of humiliation in modern China has to start from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Western countries, especially the countries in the European region, had entered the era of great navigation. The beginning of the Age of Discovery made many possibilities possible, and many navigators opened their eyes. At that time, navigation and politics were not separated, so navigators felt the richness and excitement of China from Chinese treasures such as silk and dry goods that could not speak, so they were ambitious, set their sights on the Heavenly Dynasty, and began to covet China's resources. To achieve resource plunder, it is necessary to strengthen self-construction, so under desire, in turn, it has promoted the development of foreign navigation.
About 200 years ago, the colonization of the world's countries reached its peak. In the eyes of the Western powers, China's fat meat is undoubtedly fatally attractive. In order to reach this piece of fat, the eight countries united to encroach on China, followed by the Opium War. At this time, China is fulfilling an old saying: "The roof leaks in the overnight rain, and the ship is being broken by the wind", so many people are not optimistic about China, thinking that China is likely to disappear in the long river of world history. But for this problem, the last emperor of Europe, Napoleon, said: China is a sleeping lion, once it wakes up terrible!
At the time, this sentence did not resonate with other powers, but felt that this sentence was Napoleon's alarmist. Later, with the passage of time, China experienced many tribulations, and finally grew tenaciously in the ruins and established a new China. At this time, people remembered Napoleon's evaluation at that time, and suddenly realized that Napoleon had such a unique vision. Therefore, what he said at that time also became a prophecy of God in the mouths of the people. But what everyone may not know is that this is just Napoleon's previous sentence, in fact, he has the next sentence, which is even more accurate and terrible, he said: "The world had better not disturb it, let it continue to sleep!" "
Why is this sentence even more terrible? First of all, the world does not understand China, even if China was decaying and declining at that time, but as an ancient civilization, its vitality and vitality are not so easy to disappear. So many countries covet China, but there are only a few people who understand the essence of China. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win every battle. So many countries have drifted across the sea to fight China, but they do not understand China so much, which lays the groundwork for subsequent failures.
Conclusion: For Napoleon's evaluation, sober Chinese first surprised, then happy. Surprised by Napoleon's sobriety, I was glad that Napoleon was already in his twilight years when he said these words. Just think, if he is still in the middle of the hot youth and has ambitions in his chest, he is bound to become a strong aggressor, and even a leader of the invaders. If this is the case, a person who understands China will deal with China, and China will only be more passive!
