Chapter 265: The Swedish States

When the envoys of the other Chinese Empires were in various countries, the envoys of the Chinese Empire also went to the various Norse states, and the first Norse states that the envoys of the Chinese Empire arrived were the Swedish states.

After all, among the Norse states, the closest to the Chinese Empire are the Swedish states, and if the Chinese Empire wants to come to the Swedish states, the people of the Chinese Empire only need to cross the Baltic Sea all the way west from the imperial capital Meijing to reach the Swedish states.

Compared to the neighboring kingdoms of Denmark and Norway, the Norse people of the Swedish states were more focused on commerce than on the conquest and colonization of the kingdoms of Norway and Denmark during the time of the Gnose (Viking) pirates.

The Norse people of the Kingdom of Sweden were committed to the eastern and southeastern parts of Europe, and their influence even reached as far as the Black Sea and Caspian coasts.

Here the Swedish Bonnos and Arabs and even further east peoples exchanged furs, metals and other products. They also visited Constantinople (New Rome), the capital of the Eastern Byzantine Empire, Jerusalem, the holy city of the three religions, and Baghdad, the capital of the Arab Abbasids.

The Swedish states also traded with the Chinese Empire, but the Chinese Empire still preferred to trade with the Kingdom of Denmark, and when the Norse people of the Swedish states generally arrived at the Chinese Empire to trade, they would call themselves the Kingdom of Denmark, because in this way the Chinese Empire would have a better attitude towards them.

Although the Norse people living in the Swedish states paid more attention to commercial transactions, this does not mean that they would not conquer and colonize or plunder, in fact, the Gnoss of the Swedish states were the first to make enemies with the former Memel Chiefdom of the Chinese Empire.

Although they did not plunder much of the Memel Chiefdom, the Memel Chiefdom still remembered them, and when the first emperor of the Chinese Empire came to this world, most of the time the Norse people who fought against them were the people of the Swedish states.

Of course, there are also a small number of Norse people from Denmark and Norway, but the Chinese Empire is not very connected with the Kingdom of Norway at all, and the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway do not focus on the predecessor of the Chinese Empire, Memel.

After all, the predecessor of the Chinese Empire, Memel, was very barren at the beginning, and the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway did not look down on it at all, and in the Norse people's mind, instead of plundering this barren chiefdom, it was better to plunder the relatively rich island of Great Britain in the west.

However, when the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway found that the country of Memel was becoming richer and they planned to plunder, they found that the country of Memel was no longer the weak chiefdom of Memel, and the chiefdom of Memel had become the country of Memel, and the Norse warriors of the Kingdom of Norway were no match for the army of Memel.

The Meimel country has established an army, and the equipment of the Meimel ** team has changed from the previous animal skin armor to chain mail, and the combat effectiveness of the Meimel soldiers has also been trained and become brave.

At this time, the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway thought that instead of wasting manpower to deal with the stubble of Memel, it was better to continue to raid the island of Great Britain with average combat effectiveness.

It was with this idea in mind that the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway gave up the hard stubble of the country of Memel, and the changes in the country of Memel in recent years also surprised the Norse people of the Kingdom of Norway.

Memel changed from a country inferior to their Kingdom of Norway to a great power occupying Wanzhou, Taozhou, Luozhou, and Luzhou, and the name of the country also changed to the Huaxia Empire. You must know that every state in the Chinese Empire is equivalent to a kingdom.

This made the Kingdom of Norway even more unwilling to bother and provoke the Chinese Empire, and they continued to plunder and bully their old rival, the Kingdom of Scotland.

However, the Norse people of the Swedish states are different, and it can be said that although the Chinese Empire and the Swedish states did not go head-to-head, they had an inexplicable connection with each other.

More than a decade ago, the Norse people of the Swedish states first reached the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland and the Neva River and Lake Ladoga. The Norse of the Swedish states established a stronghold in this place and gradually continued to advance southward, until finally they established a state in Novgorod.

That is, the Duchy of Novgorod ruled by the Grand Duke Rurik conquered by the Chinese Empire, although Novgorod was conquered by the Chinese Empire, but it is known that Rurik, a Norse man born in the Swedish states, became the assassin of Luzhou of the Chinese Empire, and can be regarded as a feudal official.

And the former chief of the Kiev region, Delian, is now also an official of the Chinese Empire, and Delian was re-elected as the assassin of Luozhou in the Chinese Empire, and he is also a Norse who came out of the Swedish states, and he can be regarded as a feudal official of the Chinese Empire, of course, the rights of the two of them are not as great as the position of Taozhou Mulong Yaru of the Chinese Empire.

However, Luzhou and Luozhou, even Wanzhou and Taozhou, as well as Lizhou, which nominally belonged to the Chinese Empire, all had officials from the Swedish states.

They were all transferred from Luozhou and Luzhou by Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, that is to say, Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, broke up the original team that originally belonged to the Luozhou Thorn History and the Luzhou Thorn History. This is also for the stability and unification of the Chinese Empire, and Gao Yang Yajun, the Chinese Holy Son of Heaven, did this, and these things were also agreed by Liu Li of Luzhou and Delian of Luozhou.

The envoys of the Chinese Empire to the Swedish states are even the descendants of the Norse people of the Swedish states, but he has been Huaxiaized, and he is now sending envoys to the Swedish states for the sake of the Chinese Empire.

The envoy of the Chinese Empire came to the Swedish states, and he arrived in Upland, the capital of the Swedish states, and when he arrived in Upland, the Chinese envoy asked to meet the Grand Chief of the Swedish states, Eric, who was born in the Munso family. Manso.

The Great Chief of the Swedish States, Eric. When Munso heard that the envoy of the Chinese Empire was coming to see him, he hesitated for a moment and agreed to the request of the envoy of the Chinese Empire.

Great Chief of the Swedish States, Eric. Manso invited the Chinese envoy to his wooden castle, and after looking the Chinese Empire's envoy up and down, he said, "The Chinese Empire's envoy, I think you should be a descendant of our Swedes, right?" ”

The envoy of the Chinese Empire heard from the great chieftain of the Swedish states, Eric. Manso's words, he smiled faintly and said in the Norse lingua franca to the great chieftain of the Swedish states, Erik. Munso said: "The Swedes? I'm sorry Great Chief, I'm not you Swedes, I'm an official of the Chinese Empire. ”

Great Chief of Sweden Erik. Manso smiled when he heard the words of the envoy of the Huaxia Empire, he did not expect that this Huaxia envoy, who was obviously a descendant of their Swedish states, could not even speak their Swedish dialect, but instead spoke the common language of their Norse people.

The great chieftains of the Swedish states shook their heads with tears and laughter and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that after a few decades, you wouldn't even be able to speak our Swedish language, and indeed you can't be called Swedes." ”

The Norsians of the Swedish states called themselves Norse, and they never called themselves Norse and Varyag or Vikings. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
