Chapter 597: The Royal Gathering

Hou Xuanyan's fluttering words have already decided that a bloody storm is about to unfold in Europe, and he has been preparing for a five-year expedition to the west, because the opening of the canal is about to become a reality.

After five years of hoarding, the naval division could not wait for a long time, and orders were constantly sent to Qiongzhou, Manraka, Java, Luzon, and India, and various military ports along the coast frequently mobilized warships to transfer troops to the west coast.

The rich and prosperous ports of the South Seas provided sufficient conditions for the sailors, and it was about to be a war across the two oceans.

A hundred years ago, the Spaniards set out from their ports to plunder and kill warships all over the globe and slaughtered countless Han Chinese in Luzon.

In Hou Xuanyan's crusade against Luzon, he directly gave them another name, called Yang Chief.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was weak, with internal and external troubles, although Emperor Wanli jumped to his feet and scolded, but there was no way to punish this group of foreign chiefs.

Now that the Chinese Dynasty is strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and Hou Xuanyan is a person who takes revenge on him, how can he continue to endure it.

Today, the Far East attracts the attention of all countries, especially the European powers, who are constantly guarding against the second Yellow Peril.

In Paris, France, where autumn leaves covered the roads, the streets were very muddy because of the autumn rain that had just fallen, and the cars were very luxurious, Louis XIV greeted the royals from various countries outside the Palace of Versailles.

At this time, the citizens of Paris were still relatively poor, their clothes were generally shabby, and they looked at the luxurious carriages with envy in their eyes.

The reins on the carriages were enough for the living expenses of these ordinary citizens for a year.

Louis XIV, whose full name was Louis Dieudonnay Bourbon, called himself the Sun King, was one of the longest-reigning monarchs and the longest-reigning independent sovereign monarch in European history.

This guy has been an emperor for seventy-two years, ten years longer than Kang Mazi's old Wang Ba, and he is also a dictator.

He concentrated the great aristocracy in Versailles and the entire French bureaucracy around him, thereby strengthening the military, financial, and institutional decision-making power of the French king.

Louis XIV was now twenty-four years old, in the prime of his youth, not tall but with a straight waist, and an old face beneath his unkempt hairstyle.

The robe with black spots on a white background like a sack looks a little strange, and I have to say that the level of dressing in Paris in this era is really not very good.

He tried to establish contact with the Hua Dynasty, but it was terminated because the road was too far and the ideas were not in agreement.

At first, the French didn't care too much, until the canal in Egypt was dug up, and the Chinese, who were once out of reach, could quickly reach their noses.

Continental is already trembling...

They are not unfamiliar with the word Yellow Peril, and all the national classics clearly record the blood and horror of those years, even more cruel than their ugly deeds in the colonies.

Three Yellow Perils in history, each of which bleeds Europe all over the field.

The first "Yellow Peril" occurred in the Han Dynasty, when the Han army went out of the fortress, creating several famous generals through the ages, but also divided the Xiongnu into the Northern Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty as vassals, and the Eastern Han Dynasty united with the Southern Xiongnu to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, forcing part of the Northern Xiongnu to move westward.

The Huns who moved westward were the Huns from the east in the eyes of Europeans, and these Huns who moved to Europe continued to conquer the Germanic and Eastern Roman Empire, forcing the Germanic people to move south, and the Germanic people who moved south eventually destroyed the Western Roman Empire.

The second time was the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Central Plains dynasty of the Han people once again reached its peak, this time with the background board of the Turks...

During the Sui Dynasty, the Turks split into Eastern Turks and Western Turks, both of which were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty one after another, and some Western Turkic tribes moved westward. The Turkic conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire by the Turks migrating to Western Asia led to the Crusades, which eventually led to the fall of the Ottoman Empire founded by the Turks.

The third time had nothing to do with the Han Chinese, a cavalry arose in the Mongolian steppe, and they killed hundreds of millions of people in that era of population scarcity...

After the Mongol Second Western Expedition captured Budapest, the advance reached Neustada near Vienna, and the main force crossed the Danube River and captured the city of Gran. Then the news of the death of the Great Khan of Ögedei came, and the commander Batu withdrew his army due to the succession of the Khan.

Everyone knows the urine of the Mongols at that time, and slaughtering cities was like drinking water, and they drank to their heart's content in Europe.

The Hua Dynasty is now stronger than ever, and they no longer need to cross the Gobi and the desert to cross the khanates of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia to Europe.

From the canals of Egypt, they could drive their warships directly into the Mediterranean, and the entire coastline of Europe would become their landing points, covering the range of their attacks.

As the host, Louis XIV always had a kind smile on his face and greeted every monarch who came here.

Because there are many countries that are at war with each other, such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom...

The English came to Paris early, and Charles II had a good impression of France, and his early experience of being a fugitive gave him some of the humor and cunning of a petty citizen.

Putting his arm around the shoulders of the serious Louis XIV, Charles II said playfully: "The Dutch will come in a while, and I will be a peacemaker for you, and these red-haired devils will definitely give me this face." ”

Louis XIV smiled, he knew this British king who had been in trouble, this guy was not like his grandfather and father, he was a natural braggart.

"Charlie, you don't have a good relationship with the Dutch, I heard that they have already sailed their ships to London."

Charles II smiled embarrassedly, this matter was a disgrace to Britain, but he could not refute it at all.

The Dutch were so strong now, and despite the near-devastating blows they had suffered in the Far East, what was left of them could still overwhelm Britain and France.

A relatively simple carriage drove slowly, and everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the past, and a striking tulip showed the identity of the owner of the carriage.

There is no emperor in the Netherlands, and there is no king, and none of their authorities want to be emperor because it will delay their family from making money.

In 1588, the seven Dutch provinces united and proclaimed the United Provinces of the Netherlands a joint republic to resist the persecution of Protestant Calvinists in Spain. In 1648, King Philip IV of Spain, who had been defeated, signed the Treaty of Münster, recognizing the United Republic of the Seven Provinces of the Netherlands.

Odenbarnwaldt, the speaker of the Dutch Republic, slowly stepped out of the carriage, which was very unfriendly to Protestants, but a person of this status was clearly out of the scope of oppression.

Louis XIV and Charles II came up together, and national power was the biggest bargaining chip to be respected, and the Dutch had this bargaining chip in this regard.
