In the history of the world, what wars have been waged for plunder and profit? What fight is not for plunder and profit, but almost all battles are for plunder and profit. Other purposes, such as national independence, turning over to be the master, being the dignity of an empire, and resisting the attacks of Islam, Christianity and capitalism, are just superficial slogans. The real purpose is to expand the economy and plunder wealth. War is the continuation of politics. What is politics? Politics is the exchange of interests and good compromise. In ancient times, people advocated robbery, and they could get trophies at no cost or at little cost. Hunting and gathering are the most primitive plunder of nature. Later, people found that exchanging trophies can get what they need, so business began. Later, people thought that the exchange cost was too high and it was better to rob quickly, so the war began. Later, people found that the cost of war was even greater, and politics began to appear. Therefore, if people think that exchanging their goods can satisfy plunder and interests, they will talk about politics. When people think that direct robbery is cheaper, they will choose war.
Is there a war waged for love in history? The Trojan War. Wu Sangui takes the crown, and anger is a beauty.
What are the wars waged by women in history? Women are excuses, only those who fight for women, not those who fight for women. Whether it's Helen in Troy or Chen Yuanyuan in Beijing. It is an excuse for men to benefit. Politics has never looked so noble. "Left Turn" once commented on the wars between countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, saying: "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period." It is said that no matter how noble the name of war is, the essence is that princes fight for their own interests. So is Troy. The Athenians wanted to annex Troy for a long time, but they always felt weak when they appeared as invaders, so they found a woman as an excuse. Didn't the Japanese invade China under the guise of the glory of Greater East Asia?
How many wars in history were caused by tea, the oldest international non-alcoholic beverage; Tea, like silk, was very popular in the earliest East-West trade. Tea is not only an economic plant, but also an elegant culture. It seems that people can't connect the elegant tea fragrance with the battlefield in blood shed.
But in history, light tea has a magical power, which affects the rise and fall of the country. It has profoundly influenced the history of this world. 17, 18 and 19 are all closely related to tea. Who would have thought that a small piece of tea could change the rise and fall of the three countries? Let's look at the war caused by tea.
Qinghebao war
1572-1575, the Ming Dynasty experienced the Qinghebao War for three years, which was a typical northern nomadic attack on the military fortress on the border of the Central Plains. What triggered this war was black tea, which seems insignificant today.
For nomadic people, drinking tea is different from drinking habits in other areas. Drinking tea is the physiological demand of northerners. The diet of Mongolians and other northern nomads is mostly beef, mutton and milk. The function of tea just supplements the deficiency of nutrition in fruits and vegetables. Another benefit lies in health. Drinking boiled hot tea can kill bacteria and reduce the chance of intestinal and blood parasite infection. Drinking tea changed their habit of drinking cold water. Therefore, tea, as a life regulator of the Central Plains people, is just like food and salt for the northern minorities, and it is indispensable for a day. Cutting off the supply of tea can almost cut off the lives of ethnic minorities.
This war directly led to the strength of the Jurchen tribe and eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
the opium war
This war, later named 1840 Opium War, was actually caused by many factors, and opium was only one of them. This is actually a war about tea, and the bud of the war was conceived in the process of buying and selling tea and opium.
After the Industrial Revolution, Europe, especially Britain, became interested in China, and tea was one of them. At the beginning, Britain imported a lot of tea from China, and silver flowed from the British Isles to China. China was in an absolute position. In order to reverse this trade disadvantage, the British smuggled opium from India to China, and the import of opium led to a large amount of silver outflow from China. China launched a campaign to ban smoking for silver. The recycling of tea, silver and opium eventually led to the Opium War. In this battle, the Qing dynasty was unable to counterattack the invaders. The only weapon they picked up was soft tea in an attempt to balance Britain with tea. The opium sold by the British destroyed China, but the tea in China made a strong Britain. The fate of these two substances in both countries is undoubtedly the most attractive part. The Opium War was the beginning of China's modern history. Even promoted the process of world history.
"Boston Tea Party"
Incredibly, the tea that crossed the ocean even became the fuse of the American War of Independence. It's all because China wants to buy silver, and the British love tea too much. Most of the silver purchased by the British from the Qing Dynasty came from colonial America. After the seven-year war between Britain and France, Britain was extremely short of money, and the eldest brother had no money, of course, from the younger brother's hand, so he imposed various taxes on the younger brother's North American colony, which later triggered the famous "Boston Tea Party" and eventually led to the famous American War of Independence. It can be said that a war about tea has created the most powerful country in the world today.
