"Your Excellency, I am from Rome, the Holy Roman Empire! Thank you for saving your life...... I swear by the honor of the Steffen family that I will buy back my freedom with a ransom sufficient to wash away my shame! The white man who had been beaten knelt down and swore to Zhu Zilong's doppelganger.

The Steffen family?

However, Zhu Zilong's attention was obviously on another term. That's the word Steffen!

It stands to reason that Zhu Zilong, a Chinese sling silk before the crossing, is unlikely to know about a small family in a country in the ancient West. But just right, one day when he was on the Internet, Zhu Zilong saw the content about it and remembered it deeply.

Why?

Because this little sister of the Steffen family during World War II was associated with Hitler, and almost became a major factor in the change of history.

It can even be said that one of the extremely important reasons why Hitler later slaughtered Jews in large numbers is extremely important.

In later modern times, the Holocaust was the ethnic cleansing of Nazi Germany in World War II and was one of the most famous atrocities of World War II.

Germany slaughtered nearly 6 million Jews in this ethnic cleansing campaign. The name of the Holocaust in English and German is "Holocaust," which comes from the Greek word meaning to burn sacrifices with fire. The Jews called it "Shoah," which comes from the Hebrew word for "haul."

Throughout World War II, some 5.8 million European Jews were killed by Nazi Germany, two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe.

Of course, in addition to the Jews, the Nazis also systematically massacre Gypsies, homosexuals, Allied prisoners of war, and other dissidents in Europe on a mass basis, with only Jews and Gypsies being killed on racial grounds.

Years later, World War II ended with the defeat of Germany. There are many people who do not know the reasons for Hitler's massacre of Jews, and do not believe Hitler's theory of the so-called inferior people.

In the end, after many investigations, it is believed that there are three reasons.

1. Religious antagonism. The Germans had always had a desire to lead Europe, and were naturally disgusted by the equally pretentious Jews. Differences in beliefs and cultures doomed the two peoples to be incompatible.

2. Unique living habits. In World War I in 1918, the Jews made a fortune and monopolized the economic lifeblood of Europe, and the big banks and business owners were basically run by Jews. This led to an antipathy towards the Jews among the other peoples of Europe!

In 1929, when the whole of Europe was facing the Great Depression and Germany suffered greatly, the wealthy Jewish merchants in Germany were not far away to help the country through the economic crisis, and even when the milk was in short supply, the Jewish merchants preferred to dump the milk rather than sell it to the poor at a reduced price. These actions made the German government and the people feel hatred of the Jews!

3. Hitler actually decided to slaughter the Jews for the sake of a girl!

It turned out that Hitler, who was a teenager, had a crush on a beautiful and wealthy Austrian Jewish beauty for many years. The girl's name was Stephanie Isaac, and she was inherited from the Steffen family.

In order to snatch the girl he loved, Hitler even conspired to plan a detailed and elaborate kidnapping plan.

However, due to the lack of living expenses needed to "elope" with the Jewish beauty in the future, the kidnapping operation was forced to abort. Hitler was so devastated by this that he lamented every day, and even thought of committing suicide by jumping off a bridge.

However, in the end, Hitler's love affair never materialized, and the Jewish beauty ended up marrying an Austrian officer. As a result, scholars agree that one of the most personal reasons Hitler finally ordered the murder of the Jews was love over hate.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, when Zhu Zilong watched this news back then, he watched it with relish.

Unexpectedly, he could still meet one of the ancestors of the real Steffen family in the Song Dynasty. Of course, it's just a pity, it's a slave, hehe!

-

Looking at the white slaves in front of him, he drew a cross on his chest with his right hand, and then clenched his fist to his forehead. Zhu Zilong came back to his senses, and suddenly thought of the time of this year, the Western world, well, isn't it the era of the Crusades in the thirteenth century?

This war in the Western world, which has lasted for more than 200 years, is so famous that when Chinese students study Chinese history, they will also be taught a lot about Western history in high school history and college history, and this is obviously more focused on teachers who have taught students.

"If I'm not mistaken, Karl, you're a knight in the Crusaders, and your status isn't too low, right? Are you a nobleman? came to the Great Song Dynasty because he was defeated and captured? Zhu Zilong opened his mouth and asked.

"Yes, I'm ashamed that we were defeated. The ship sank before it could get close to the shore! Those damned infidels, who did not give our knights the honor they deserved after their defeat, had no choice but to become prisoners. People were sold to Seris as slaves! Karl replied with a blush on his face.

Zhu Zilong nodded after hearing this, and the Seris in Carl's mouth meant the Eastern Country.

Seris (Latin: Sinae, Serica, Seres), which means silk country and silk country, is the name of the countries and nations related to silk by ancient Greek and Roman geographers and historians from the Warring States period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is generally believed to refer to China or the areas near China at that time.

The Crusades (medieval European historical events) were a series of famous religious military campaigns carried out with the permission of the Roman Catholic Pope and lasted for nearly 200 years, in the name of recovering the lands occupied by the Arab invasions of the feudal lords and knights of Western Europe against the countries on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. There were eight times in total!

After questioning again, it was learned from the white slaves that this time it was the first final round.

The First Cross Expedition was the only one that had a slight upper hand and a bit of victory. About 100,000 people participated, and the next few times can be said to be failures, and countless people died tragically.

Unexpectedly, the only time there was a slight chance of winning, these white knights in front of Zhu Zilong could still become slaves, and they were also created to make people!

Think about it, even if the victory of the Eastern Crusade has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the complete defeat of TM in the next few hundred years. Zhu Zilong didn't intend to embarrass Carl and the others, and said to them: "Hehehe...... Okay, you've all remembered for me that you're all my captives until you guys don't make enough money to pay the ransom, understand? It's dishonorable to run away, and you can't run away! If you want to go home, so far away, there is no money, no boat, no team, but it is more difficult than the sky! ”

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we have sworn an oath...... Never run away privately. As you said, even if you want to run, you're killing yourself! Carl and the others were not stupid, and immediately expressed their loyalty again.
