Xu Jie has spent three years in Europe, from a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty to a traveler in a foreign land, he fell ill once, and that time was very long.

In Europe, he couldn't find a doctor, he couldn't buy any medicinal herbs, and he didn't even have clean drinking water. Any city, every street, any person, is filthy and stinking.

The streets are full of feces and urine, and the residents on both sides of the road will spill their urine buckets in front of the door every morning, and as long as they walk around outside, they will be stained with a strong smell and will not disappear for a day.

Therefore, the aristocrats of Europe will ride in the carriage, Xu Jie was fortunate to ride it a few times, but he found that riding the carriage was actually another kind of torment, and it was those nobles who were gorgeously dressed and jeweled that tormented him.

They seldom pay attention to physical hygiene, they do not bathe, and for many years, everyone has a heavy smell of sweat.

For the first time, Xu Jie understood why Westerners were so obsessed with silk, hairy bodies, poor hygiene, and numerous skin diseases...... Only smooth silk can bring them the best experience.

In addition to silk, they are also obsessed with perfume, and as long as there is enough perfume, they cannot smell the body.

But the problem is that strong perfume is a torture more terrible than the smell of sweat!

What made Xu Jie understand even more incompetence was that in this Europe, which is not small, there are many countries, and there is actually a powerful Holy See.

Can you imagine? In the great Ming Dynasty, the emperor's cabinet said that it didn't count, but it asked a group of monks or Taoist priests to get together to decide the national policy.

And for the sake of proselytizing, there are wars after wars, are these people all crazy?

Dirty and ignorant is Xu Jie's first impression of Europeans, and it makes sense to call them barbarians.

After Xu Jie arrived in Europe, there was a question, why did it rot like this, and the people here didn't know how to change? How could they endure it? In China, the dynasty has already changed 800 times.

But the Europeans are like a herd of honest cattle, silently enduring everything.

It's really admirable!

Xu Jie has been waiting, he is very hopeful, there will be a change, a new force will appear......

"Fourth Senior Brother, I'll tell you good news."

Yan Shifan walked in with a smile, "Paris is in trouble!" ”

"Paris?"

"Hmm!" Yan Shifan said with a smile: "In the whole of Europe, the place with the most hope of an uprising will break out. ”

"Did it work?" Xu Jie asked curiously.

"How so? Temporarily successful, they have captured the entire city and imprisoned the king! ”

"Oh!" Xu Jie exclaimed: "So fast hands and feet, these people are very powerful!" ”

Captured the most important cities in Western Europe with a shot, which is a good start.

Yan Shifan didn't see it that way, "Fourth Senior Brother, we've talked many times. I found one of the advantages of Xiyi, which has emerged. ”

Xu Jie's eyebrows stirred, does Xiyi have any advantages?

"Fourth Senior Brother, I know that you look down on Xiyi, but after the Paris Uprising this time, news immediately came out that the king of Spain, the king of England, and the Habsburgs, and even the newly founded Prussia all moved, claiming to help France and restore the dignity of the royal family."

Xu Jie groaned: "Are these people going to take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

"Not exactly." Yan Shifan said: "I have received the news that the Pope has issued an edict demanding that all secular countries and believers must take action to eradicate heresy. ”

"Heresy?"

"That's right!" Yan Shifan spread his hands, "This time the rebel army raised the slogan of opposing hunger and stopping the war. They confiscated the property of the Parisian royal family and nobles, distributed it among the poor people, and gained the support of the bottom. If they are allowed to continue, it will shake the order of the whole of Europe. ”

Yan Shifan paused, and said, "And they still think that this kind of thinking was brought by us devils!" ”

Xu Jie was shocked, realized the seriousness of the matter, and sighed helplessly: "Although Xiyi is greedy, he is also extreme. Once they touch their roots, they will be like mad dogs, never dying. Looks like we can't stay any longer. ”

Yan Shifan nodded, "Fourth Senior Brother, in fact, I have been preparing for a long time, there are ships and soldiers waiting for us, and we will be able to leave immediately." ”

Xu Jie said twice, "Donglou, are you ready to leave?" ”

Yan Shifan spread his hands and smiled helplessly. He decided to come out and make a contribution, and it was not the same as Xu Jie's situation, how could he give up the good situation in Europe. He's going to keep running and even become the king of this place!

The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts, wasn't what they were waiting for today!

But the two must also admit that the West does have something special.

That is their ability to mobilize militarily, and even the level of weaponry.

As soon as the news of the Paris uprising spread, the French aristocracy gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Italy also rushed back.

Spain sent 100,000 horses north, the Habsburgs sent 200,000 from Vienna, and even the newly founded Prussia had 30,000.

And that's just the beginning!

The Europeans have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they have sharpened a very efficient mobilization system, which can not only quickly assemble men and horses, but also include equipment that is not bad, armor, war horses, firearms, artillery, and all kinds of sophisticated weapons.

Under the condition that the civilization is very backward, Westerners rely on strong military strength and God-given opportunities, and luckily rely on the great voyage to loot countless wealth, and then move towards the industrial age, realize the crushing of power, and then weave a set of deceptive talk that cannot stand scrutiny, fooling many spectators who do not know the truth.

It's just that the fake will be shattered one day after all, tearing off the coat of the whistle, it is full of pickles left over from thousands of years, and it has never been reduced at all......

"The insurgents in Paris could not be opponents of these countries." Xu Jiejie cut the railway.

Yan Shifan smiled: "Fourth Senior Brother, what do you say? ”

Xu Jie snorted: "Although I don't have any attainments in the art of war, I also know that this is a city against the whole of Europe, even if it is a heavenly soldier and a general, I am afraid it is too big!" ”

Yan Shifan said with a smile: "That's right, but Fourth Senior Brother, if the heavenly soldiers and generals can't do it, don't they mean that people can't either?" Isn't there a silver lining? ”

Xu Jie thought about it seriously and said: "There is still a livelihood, but they can't be trapped in Paris, they have to fight out, and they have to find weak points." More people need to be mobilized. ”

Yan Shifan laughed, "Since this is the case, it is clear what to do next." ”

……

Hawkins, who won the victory, was immersed in joy, and he succeeded and easily took control of Paris.

What happens after victory?

Of course, it is to reward his subordinates, determine the five tiger generals and the like, and then train the troops, hoard grain and grass, and deal with the next counterattack.

Also, he thought of the operation of the Ming Dynasty, maybe through the examination, the selection of officials.

This is so important!

He consulted the scholar surnamed Zhang, and the selection of officials by examination meant meritocracy, and the noble lineage was completely abandoned. When the poor have a way out, they will support themselves.

Hawkins, in accordance with the advanced experience learned from the Ming Dynasty, abolished everything that was old, passed the examination, selected a group of officials, and managed the whole of Paris for him.

Then he divided the confiscated houses and land equally among the poor.

In almost a month's time, Hawkins was in Paris and the surrounding area, collecting 30,000 horses.

At the same time, all kinds of bad news have come one after another.

All the hostile forces have been assembled, and their strength is more than ten times that of the rebels.

"We will do everything in our power to defend Paris, and we will not hesitate to die with Paris!"

To say that people in the world, no matter what country, many truths are the same, and they will not hesitate to fight for their lives for the property they have in hand.

The tragic atmosphere spread throughout Paris, and Hawkins also lost his initial confidence, and the strong opponent overwhelmed him.

"If you're just stuck in Paris, there's no hope."

The sudden arrival of two Orientals surprised Hawkins.

"You need to be more flexible, believe in yourself, and be able to defeat the strong with the weak!"

Hawkins pondered, "Just like the Battle of Red Cliffs?" ”

Also know the Battle of Chibi!

Yan Shifan smiled and said: "Paris is quite strong, and because of the perennial quarrying, there are complex underground tunnels...... You should use it to build strong fortifications. Then pick out a real elite team and take the initiative. ”

"Sortie? We are weak, how can we attack? ”

"It's because I'm weak that I can't sit still!" Xu Jie grabbed the conversation, "You have to know where your advantages are. Your supporters aren't just the poor in Paris. Ordinary people are not as easily mobilized as kings and nobles. But as soon as the poor people of all Europe act, you are invincible! Believe in the wisdom of our Orient and you can win! ”

Yan Shifan muttered: "In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to stay in Paris and assist in defending the city!" ”

Hawkins pondered for a moment, then finally nodded vigorously, and three days later a force of eight thousand soldiers rushed out of Paris and pounced on the Pas-de-Calais. Hawkins was the best pirate of his time, and he was sure to defeat anyone as long as he was at sea.

Hawkins, who was bent on survival, did not realize that his initiative completely changed the fate of the uprising and the direction of Europe......
