The painting is very long, because there is a tall wall with several layers of inner and outer walls extending into the foreground, and there are many breaches in the wall within a few kilometers, each of which is fighting to the death.

At the end of the picture, the most tragic battle is unfolding: there is no forgiveness, one side is stubbornly defending, fighting for life and faith, and defeat is death and destroying the country, and the other side is adding hundreds of years of grievances and grudges, fighting for their religious beliefs and thousands of years of regret......

The place depicted in the painting not only looks like, but can only be Constantinople!

The only thing that will cause such damage to the city wall, which has been held for thousands of years and has been besieged 23 times without falling, can only be the super giant cannons of the Turks.

Urban cannon!

Unfortunately, the designer of the cannon that blasted through the walls of Constantinople was originally in the service of the Byzantine Empire: in early 1452, a Hungarian artillery designer named Oba, or Urban, arrived in Constantinople in search of wealth.

He presented the Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI with the proudest technology of his time – how to make a bronze cannon.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Byzantine Empire had been engaged in a 150-year war with the Turks, and the territory was constantly eroded by the Ottoman Empire.

By the time Constantine XI ascended the throne in 1449, there was only one city left in the Byzantine Empire, and his opponent, the Ottoman ruler Mehmed II, was young and ambitious and was actively preparing to attack Constantinople.

Constantine had a great interest in the design of the Hungarians and provided him with a certain amount of financial assistance. But the cost of the bronze cannon was so high that Byzantium did not have much money to cast it.

As Emperor Constantine became increasingly impoverished, it was almost impossible to pay the daily salary of an artillery designer.

Later in the year, the Hungarian decided to try his luck elsewhere and finally set his sights on Mehmed II, an enemy of Constantine XI!

The Byzantines should have killed this designer, because he had almost the technology that was ahead of his time, but unfortunately the Hungarians succeeded in getting to the Turks, and the end of the Byzantine Empire was not far off!

On May 29, 1453, after seven weeks of continuous bombardment of the city walls with bronze cannons designed and manufactured by the Hungarians, the final assault and defense battle was staged in Constantinople, and finally Constantine XI was killed on the battlefield and died with his empire!

The last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire did everything he could, and in the past 500 years, almost no one has hacked him, because no one else can do better than him.

But this will be in the tunnel, Guan Xingquan hacked him: Xiang Weirong and the others don't know much about the history of Constantinople, and they haven't heard of the final battle, so Zhang Nan had to talk about it just now.

"He's supposed to kill that designer, let him go, it's death!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Probably this is one of the reasons why no one went to hack the last emperor, above board." ”

Guan Xingquan disagreed, "So he died." ”

Well, why can Zhang Nan rest assured that he will become his spokesperson in many cases?

Because he's really dark sometimes!

can stifle all possible risk factors, only consider the interests of their own group, and never think about whether it is cruel, immoral, or illegal!

Black, that's external, about Xingquan, Zhang Nan can sleep peacefully every day.

Why are the core guys so convinced of Boss Guan?

Is it because you can fight?

No, mainly because he's black enough!

You never know what he's thinking in his heart, you just need to understand that as long as it doesn't endanger the interests of the group, then Guan Lao will be the best leader and brother, if there is a ghost in his heart......

Ask for more blessings, there's a black-hearted guy waiting for you!

The painting is very good, but unfortunately although Zhang Nan found the painter's signature, he didn't know who it was: he signed it briefly, and he couldn't recognize it.

It's supposed to be a famous painter, but it's not in a hurry, and there's always a way to recognize it when you get it back.

I simply looked at a few other paintings, and the results were not all war scenes, and two paintings were of a group of women in a palace-like bathhouse.

Yes, look at the shape of the bathhouse, 100% Turkish: imagine painting the Ottoman palace maid, which was once the favorite work of many European painters.

The painting is good, the ring is fat and thin, looking degenerate, decaying, and extravagant!

As for who the painter is...

I'm sorry, I don't recognize a single one, so I guess I would have been very famous before World War II, otherwise the Austrians wouldn't have stuffed them into the carriage to prevent them from being taken by the Soviets.

......

I was tired of climbing more than 100 meters of ventilation pipes, and the guys above were sent down for dinner.

What to do when you go to the toilet?

If it was in an ordinary railway tunnel, a few people would have solved it anywhere, but this place was closed, and Zhang Nan asked the guy above to get a few bottles of mineral water.

The Chilean side soon got the news, and the side just waited for the delivery to arrive, but the two reliquaries had to be put up tomorrow.

The container for human relics and remains is awkward to think about.

If you have time, you can simply look through it carefully: most of the items in carriage number five are precious religious objects, and number four is armor, but there are also very few non-steel clothing and equipment.

This is not just when the fifth car turns over to a set of thick cotton robes, hats and gloves in red tones.

Men wore red, not strange, at least four or five hundred years ago, at that time there were many European aristocrats who wore red.

But this outfit is too extravagant, a pair of gloves are decorated with dozens of gemstones of various colors and hundreds of pearls!

As for the robe, in Guan Xingquan's words: "What about this guy playing Journey to the West?"

In 91, there are no computer games related to Journey to the West now, but Guan Xingquan watched "Journey to the West" a few years ago and was deeply impressed by Tang Seng's baby robe: the gems inlaid on this robe are at least dozens of times that of that robe!

That hat is a hat, not a crown, but a hat decorated with hundreds of gems, red, green, and yellow under the light!

If you want to wear this dress to the West Heaven, don't say that the Jinchi elders of the Zen temple will be red-eyed, it is estimated that before the person comes out of the Tang Dynasty, he will be dismantled.

I feel that this outfit should be from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance, when luxury prevailed, and I liked flashy jewelry the most, and some big nobles and kings often inlaid their clothes and shoes with gems and pearls, and they looked like an Easter egg when they went out.

I don't look at the time, anyway, there is no concept of time in the tunnel, rummage and look for it. In a small wooden box in the fifth carriage, Zhang Nan actually saw 8 "eggs" with decorations, which were placed together with a pile of jewelry, which seemed inconspicuous at first glance.

Well, these are 8 intricately constructed easter eggs.

Seeing that he was playing with it in his hand and couldn't put it down for the time being, Xiang Weirong asked, "It's very valuable?"

Zhang Nan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If in the early 30s, 500 dollars a piece, would have killed thousands in World War II." ”

"I mean now. ”

"A thousand thousands. ”
