The king's joke

Because George originally wanted to do business with Kangxi with advanced weapons, he didn't expect Kangxi to be so conceited, saying that he despises these gadgets, including gunpowder, and we all know the power of gunpowder, so George laughed at Kangxi for being too conceited.

Kangxi's eightieth birthday.

We all know that Kangxi is the longest-lived emperor among all the emperors in history. On the occasion of Kangxi's eightieth birthday, many countries sent people to offer birthday wishes to Kangxi, and naturally brought all kinds of gifts, among which King George prepared many advanced things for Kangxi.

Such as gunpowder, binoculars, pocket watches, etc. These gifts can be said to be the most advanced at that time. Unfortunately, Kangxi took a look at them and ignored them. He collected them without thinking of taking them out for study, which suddenly left our country behind.

George laughed when he received the imperial edict.

George III knew the value of his gift to Kangxi. George thinks so. After reading it, Kangxi should be interested and cooperate with himself. He wrote to tell Kangxi that he wanted to do business with Qing, which was a gift for his previous birthday and was very marketable. Ask Kangxi if he is willing to cooperate.

But to George's surprise, Kangxi was so arrogant that he gave George an imperial edict, saying that Qing despises these gadgets and that there is nothing that Qing does not need to cooperate with George. George smiled as soon as he saw it. George is laughing at Kangxi's stupidity. As the king of a country, this country will not last long without foresight.

To sum up, in fact, western countries have been reminding the Qing government, but the Qing government always thought it was the best, which led to the final beating, so George laughed until his false teeth fell off when he received the imperial edict.
