2) the second one is complete crap. They kill to expand, kill for resources, lands, any slaves in the end are expendable. Middle Age Europeans use tributes and even the Roman Empire pay a lot of tributes in the later years due to failed conquests and defense. It is not about commercial interests but really is national interests that drove them to kill. THis is nothing different than China and the vassal nation systems with annual tributes.
3) 宗教性起义的屠杀规模比较小? what are you nuts? even when they need converted, they use alliances and marriages to do so regularly. In conquests, just like the Muslim decry of Infidels, Christians does the same when persecuting and killing of other faiths once they were the official religion of Roman Empire. Like the author said, if you use numbers, of course it is smaller than casualties of eastern wars, but if you use percentages, it is not small either.
4) The author compare the weak China in its last dynasty against a rising Europe for what purpose?
5) 西方多海战? Yes that is true, but not enough to compare to their number of land battles.
