When Napoleon called China a sleeping lion, he could hear the second part, but why didn't anyone laugh?

Napoleon was a genius in world history. He is a great strategist and politician. The French army he led was invincible. Napoleon once became the overlord of Europe. In his brilliant military career, he left a saying that China was a sleeping lion. I believe many people have heard this sentence. At first, some people thought it was actually a joke. Like Lu Xun, he never said this sentence. However, if you turn to history, you will find that Napoleon did say this sentence, but in fact, this sentence is not complete. He only listened to the second half of the sentence, so many people wouldn't think it was a joke, let alone a joke. What is this sentence? Together with the sound, for you.

-The sigh of the emperor

At that time, China was a sleeping lion, and China was under the rule of Qing Dynasty, and gradually developed to the peak of feudal monarchy. The feudal economy, that is, the natural economy we often say, and the small-scale peasant economy have also developed greatly. It is for this reason that many people are immersed in false prosperity, which they think is a prosperous era. But in fact, at the same time of China's prosperity, the west also began to develop amazingly, and the appearance of steam engine greatly liberated people's productivity at that time. If China had been open and closed at that time, there is no doubt that China, with its vast territory, rich natural resources and large population, would have developed into a giant country in the world and stood out from the rest of the world. However, unfortunately not. If the whole country was immersed in a beautiful dream and didn't wake up at that time, it was already too late when the Qing Dynasty was awakened by a ship gun after 100 years.

-King of Europe

Napoleon was not only a strategist and politician, but also a visionary strategist. He proposed to have diplomacy with China long ago, but the Qing government at that time was very rude and arrogant. They think that China has vast land resources and everything. The China government doesn't need foreign things, but we reward them with what foreign countries need. Of course, this is indeed the pride of China people. At that time, China-foreign trade was really rough, that is, China's exports far exceeded its imports. Foreigners need our raw silk and tea, and the Qing government really didn't need foreign goods, except for one thing, which is scientific and technological products. At that time, the Qing government and even the intellectuals in the whole country seemed that these were all imported and unnecessary. Therefore, I lost the opportunity to learn advanced western science and technology. As the emperor of Europe, Napoleon obviously discovered this problem in China, so he left China like a sleeping lion.

-The lion woke up.

The second half of this sentence is "no", but don't disturb him and keep him awake. Now that China has awakened, China is on the road of increasing prosperity. Especially recently, we can clearly feel that China is really powerful.
