In Fazou's opinion, it was already rare for Li Junwei to discuss this issue with him. He didn't care what method Li Junwei used.

Li Junwei took Fazou to the greenhouse he prepared for the bees. There were nests of beehives inside. Although the two of them wore burqas made of gauze, Fazou was still stung. Li Junwei said: "Don't worry, this is just an ordinary bee. Bee stung is very likely to cure rheumatism, or honey is used to cure rheumatism. Anyway, beekeepers rarely get rheumatism. This is what my father said. Later, I came into contact with many beekeepers and found that it was indeed the case."

Fazou nodded slightly and came to a separate compartment with Li Junwei. There were two beehives formed by natural trunks, but a hole was opened on it and a piece of glass was inlaid so that the lifestyle of the bees inside could be observed. Li Junwei asked, "Grand Fazou, do you think the difference between these two nests of bees?"

After carefully comparing, Fazo shook his head: "It seems that they are all ordinary bees, no difference, it is very common in the wild."

Li Junwei nodded: "Yes, there is no difference. The nest on the left was obtained near the Caspian Sea, while the nest on the right was brought to me by a merchant from Samarkand. They should belong to the same breed, but there are differences."

"What's the difference?" Fazo asked.

"These on the right may be mixed with the bee varieties I brought from Hubei in the empire, but there is not much difference between that kind of local bee and this kind of bee, so I can't see it at all." Li Junwei said, taking out several made specimens from the table next to him, including three, including the two bee hives and one local bee. Fazou compared it again. He couldn't understand the Chinese characters on it, so he couldn't tell which one was which. Fazou shook his head: "Maybe it was originally one."

Li Junwei nodded. At this time, Ata walked in and brought several glass tubes, which were also bees inside. But Fazo recognized at a glance that the guy with a bee that was twice as big as a bee and had big teeth was definitely not a bee, but a hornet. Although Fazo did not have the hobby of Li Junwei, he also knew that this thing was very powerful when stinged, and even killed people. Bees collected honey for a living, so this was a hornet ate meat and still could eat bees.

"Compared with the gentle and hardworking bees, the fierce hornets are very similar to those of you and me, right?" Li Junwei asked with a smile.

Fazor just smiled at this. The enslaved nations are often called sheep by the Ottomans, and the ones who eat sheep are wolves. There is nothing wrong with this metaphor of Li Junwei.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to show me?" Fazo asked.

Li Junwei smiled and picked up the glass tube to operate it. It was not the first time he looked skillful. He stuffed the glass tube into a wooden pipe, and then pulled out the honeycomb and the lid on the glass tube, and the hornet entered the bee's hive. Li Junwei first let a wasp enter the local bee's hive. Fazou observed through the glass. He thought that the bee would fly around and fight back against the wasp, but it did not.

All the bees were lying on the beehive, flapping their wings together. After a while, they made a clatter of slams, trying to scare the invader away, while the wasp was lying in front of the bees, waving its wings and twisting its tail. Li Junwei immediately stepped forward, put the insertion board back, and took out the glass tube.

“What is it doing?”

"I don't know, but I know that if the smell inside emits, there will be many hornets coming." Li Junwei said.

Of course, the two of them didn't know that the hornet would emit the scent of a companion when shaking its tail, but it was blocked by Li Junwei. The hornet's harp was not very patient and soon launched an attack, grabbed a bee, bit it hard to death with its powerful jaw, and enjoyed it.

The bee was shocked and ran around quickly, but after a while, it fell back, far away from the wasp. This time the wasp ate the fresher bee pupa.

"I have conducted this experiment twice. The final result is that this group of local bees will watch the bee pupas being dragged out of the nest and eaten by one by one, and cannot deal with the wasp. Lord Fazow, this may be what you think is the relationship between the conquerors and the conquered one by one. Conquer with tough means and enjoy everything about the conquered one." Li Junwei said.

Fazo was speechless, which was very similar to the attitude of the Ottomans' conquered men. Every year, the Ottomans would take away some strong boys from the homes of conquered Christians on the Balkans, and then convert them to the Tianfang Cult, train them and arm them. These people were the Ottomans' most combative army-the New Army.

The new army will conquer more pagans and broader land for the Sultan, which is more bloody than the behavior of hornets eating bees. Fortunately, these two men who observe bees belong to hornets, not bees.

Fazo nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I do think so, and you cannot tolerate groups such as Kazakhstan and Turkmen who believe in my religion. It is not because the larvae are not delicious enough, but because they are worried that stronger hornets will come to grab them, right?"

"No!" Li Junwei's answer surprised Fazo. Li Junwei said directly: "Did you expel those Tianfang scholars because I was worried that the Ottomans and the Empire would rob Kazakhs. You were wrong, you were very wrong and very wrong. At least on the land on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, you don't have this possibility at all. Maybe the Tsar can, but they are not Tianfang scholars."

The decline of the Ottoman is a recognized fact by the top leaders of the empire. This great empire with a population of 30 million is already on the decline. Of course, Fazo would not think so.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The era of oceans and colonization has begun. Only countries that have mastered the ocean can continue to rise. In the past two hundred years, the Ottomans lost the Indian Ocean and the Western Mediterranean. Even the small Venetian states in the Eastern Mediterranean cannot deal with it. The Ottomans' inland sea, the Black Sea, is now coveted by the Tsars. Countries without oceans will only decline.

Fazo shook his head slightly, unwilling to admit this reality, but Li Junwei would not convince him, but picked up the second glass cylinder: "Your Excellency, carry out the next experiment, you will understand."

According to what he had done just now, Li Junwei sent a wasp into the mixed-race honeycomb of Samarkand. It was exactly the same as what he saw just now. The bees shook their wings in unison and activated noise to drive away the hornets, while the hornets twisted their tails to attract their companions, which were all useless.

But when the hungry hornets grabbed a bee, it was completely different. Countless bees rushed over and formed a bee sphere, rolling and jumping in the entire beehive. The hornets were completely wrapped in it and could not be seen at all. Fazo widened his eyes and could not believe the scene in front of him. Why did the same bees perform differently when facing the same enemy? Could it be that these bees with Chinese blood have more fighting spirit and fearlessness?

"This wasp will not be bitten to death, right?" Fazo said after looking for a while, but before he could see the hornet.

Li Junwei said: "No."

"That was stung to death!" Fazo said again. Li Junwei still shook his head and said, "No, Your Excellency Fazo, you must not guess how this wasp will die."

After a while, the bee ball dissipated and the hive returned to calm. The hornet's body was lying stiffly on the beehive floor. Li Junwei reached in from a leather case, carefully took out the corpse of the wasp, placed on the table, and signaled that Fazou could go and see it. Fazou picked it up and looked at it carefully. There were no wounds, and there were no bee stings on his body, but he was dead.

"Is it suffocated to death or is it crushed to death?" Fazo frowned and said he didn't know.

Li Junwei said: "I tell you, you may not believe it. We can try again. Next time you come to take out the body, you will understand."

Fazo said, "No, no, your highness is not needed. Tell me, I believe it completely."

Li Junwei said: "Actually, I'm not sure, but based on experience, it was verified to be heated. When I took it, the body was very hot."

"It's so hot!" Fazo wrote three words on his face, and he didn't believe it!

Li Junwei said: "You can try again." Fazo shook his head firmly and said that no, it doesn't matter how the bees die anymore. He understood some of Li Junwei's meanings. They are all local bees. This nest from Samarkand learned how to deal with hornets because they had been mingled with Chinese bees.

"Chinese bees will use this trick to deal with hornets, but the bees here will not, but this group of bees and the bees I brought to live together, which is incredible. If bees are like this, people will be even more like this. If the empire ruled these Tianfang believers, they will be influenced by them. They will also learn, not only learning various techniques, but also ideas and systems. No matter who they are ruled by, they will not be fair, or they will never think that they will be fair.

Sooner or later, they will arm themselves with the knowledge they learned from the empire and resist the rule of the empire. It is precisely because they know this, rather than being greedy for temporary convenience and cutting the mess with a quick knife, hundreds of years later, the imperial subjects will be glad that I will do this today." Li Junwei took Fazo out of this room, Fazo looked back at the first hive, the hornet was full, and lying on the ground to sleep. It must not know that as long as these conquered people were relieved of the outsiders, they would know how to kill it.

Fazow didn't know what knowledge could kill a powerful empire, whether it was flintlock manufacturing technology, or casting cannons, or something else. Obviously, his head was still at the level of "tools". Under the influence of his father Li Mingxun, Li Junwei already had a vague concept. What is really worth worrying about is the weapon of nationalism.

Because of the Kazakh Khanate, the empire believed that they destroyed a nation called Kazakh on the Kazakh grasslands. In fact, it was not at all. The differences in appearance between Xiao Yuzi and the Kazakhs in Da Yuzi were almost as big as those of the Cossacks and Mongols. Zhong Yuzi's lifestyle was no different from that of the Uzbeks. They were considered to be the same type of people, only because they had belonged to the same country or surrendered to the same person.

To belong to the same religion, a lord, and a language are the only three ways to connect them. Among them, the most important thing is to belong to the same lord. For ordinary people, the significance of a tribe is far greater than that of a ethnic group. As for the country, what is that thing?

If the empire ruled them, it would only change a lord and could not completely change their language and religion. Nationalism had been born in the process of establishing the empire against the Qing Dynasty. Although it was still in its infancy, too radical and narrow-minded, this was the beginning of unity. Because of nationalism, other people would also, just as the empire created a concept of the Chinese nation to unite minority groups, one day someone would create a Kazakh nation to unite the people on this grassland. At that time, no one would care about the difference between Da Yuzi being a yellow race and Xiao Yuzi being a white man, and language and religion would promote this process.

Over the years, the empire has formed a consensus that the ancestors of the Heavenly Fayes cannot integrate with the monotheistic civilization, so the Han people could sit with the Mongolians to taste horse meat, dog meat and donkey meat, but it is impossible to sit with the Tianfang scholars and eat pork, and this has almost nothing to do with pork.

Fazou didn't worry about this issue for too long because something had happened, and Li Junwei's words even gave him the idea of ​​continuing to get entangled - this is much better than massacre.

The reason for asking this question is that Fazo wanted to explore the depth of the alliance between the Empire and the Ottoman. The two sides have common interests in dealing with the Tsar, but there are conflicts in many aspects, such as faith. Now it seems that this is an unsolvable problem. Li Junwei obviously also saw through Fazo's conspiracy, so it is very shallow.

The beliefs are irreconcilable, which is Li Junwei's attitude, but in other aspects, he has covered a lot. For example, he must not make Fazo realize that he is interested in the Black Sea estuary and wants the North Caucasus area. If that is the case, Fazo may be vigilant.

For Li Junwei, Fazo was a person with good abilities, but his thoughts were still confined to the existing rules and regulations. Li Junwei carefully arranged some programs for him, such as visiting the military camps of the guards. Fazo was very interested in the weapons and systems of the guards, especially weapons. Especially when he heard that these weapons could be easily purchased in the empire, Fazo said that it was incredible.

"Of course, the Ottomans can also buy it. In Penang, a city in South China, the former country of the Sultan of Malacca, I heard that you Ottomans had joined forces with them to deal with the Portuguese. That city has everything, and as an ally of the empire, you can buy it in large quantities.
