Just when Zhu Zilong's body was vigorously expanding the country in the Americas, the flags he had arranged in Europe early were also stirring up the storm here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation in Europe, for Zhu Zilong, is not just about asking people to do business there and spy on military intelligence, and finally let a few killers assassinate the father and grandfather of some future great scientists from time to time.

They were also responsible for the recent years, when they began to expand the influence of the concessions, befriending Britain and other allies of the Ming Dynasty, and then allowing them to deteriorate more and more diplomacy with countries such as the Netherlands.

When necessary, you can apply for arms trading, and if you have the right to recognize it locally for small quantities, and for large quantities, you need to ask Zhu Zilong.

As ambassador and consul general to the United Kingdom and several countries, Liu Feng often travels between countries.

For the European countries of this period, the so-called style.

Liu Feng agreed with his face, but deep down he was extremely unhappy.

A few years before I came here, because Zhu Zilong, the prince of the four seas, often put some modern books and periodicals there in the Shandong garrison for everyone to read for free.

After reading some regular books, some science fiction and fairy tales about Europe immediately attracted Liu Feng's attention.

The book is particularly intoxicating about the magnificent castle, the knight in bright armor, the fiery noblewoman, the elegant and shy princess, the witch in black or purple robes, the vampire hiding in the cemetery, the werewolf howling in the moonlight, and so on.

It's just that when Liu Feng came to Europe in person and lived here for a few years, as a spy, he knew the situation in Europe more clearly.

As a result, knowing the real situation in Europe, I feel more and more that I have been deceived.

Before talking about the landscape of medieval Europe, it is best to exclude the unscientific fantasy products of witches, vampires, and werewolves at the first time. Because Yagen doesn't!

In addition, the main theme of Europe is knights and castles, but if you really think that there are fragrant princesses living in it, then you really think too much.

It's a pity that the dream is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

Liu Feng deeply agrees with this sentence that Zhu Zilong often said to them.

Castles in Europe are military fortresses to be defended, not palaces to show off, and not holiday villas to enjoy life. Therefore, seeing the content (of modern books and periodicals) in books and periodicals is basically unreliable in reality.

Where in the world will there be a livable military fortress?

Most of these castles were built on hills in order to observe the military situation, but the synonym of the steep terrain is the lack of transportation. Whether it's using water or going back and forth once, there is basically no other use than tossing people.

Liu Feng was once invited to go to the castle of the Grand Duke of a country, and after staying for a few days, he vowed in his heart never to go again.

In order to protect against enemy bows and arrows and stone throwers, there were few window holes in the outer walls of medieval castles, so the interior of the castle was always dark, the sun did not shine, and it was naturally very humid.

Liu Feng is very suspicious that if he lives in this kind of place, he will all get rheumatism within a few years.

In addition, the construction level of the Europeans at this time is not up to par, far less than the level of the Ming Dynasty, and various supporting projects are basically equivalent to looking at the face. There are dust, cobwebs, bed bugs, fleas, mosquitoes, flies and household garbage everywhere, and it is simply inferior to the people of Daming in terms of living standards.

I have to say that Liu Feng, a Ming man, basically has the same idea as Zhu Zilong who came through just by relying on his senses.

In fact, in the 21st century, even if those castles in European countries are listed on the Internet, as long as one yuan, few people buy them.

Because, most of these medieval castles are built in inconvenient transportation, sparsely populated barren mountains and mountains, no water and electricity, even if you drive to a supermarket, you have to run dozens of kilometers, except for archaeological experts, no one wants to live.

What the?

You say that the European castles you see on the tourist map are different and beautiful?

Hehe, did you know that those are not real castles, but specially built for tourists from all over the world, in modern times?

They were built after the Renaissance, even in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Or on the site of the old castle, some large-scale renovations, which can hardly be considered a real medieval castle anymore. It can only be said that it is "a palace that looks like a castle", which is almost the same deceptive thing as in Disneyland.

Liu Feng has been friends in European countries for several years, and has been doing business and espionage for several years.

The magnates of various countries gave him more than a dozen castles alone, but he never lived in them for a day.

He has the protection of the members of the Thousands of Miles Kill, even if the security of European countries is too chaotic, but in the concession, and travel is still guaranteed.

Recently, after receiving a new order, he had his subordinates assassinate quite a few people.

As before, they were all people who didn't seem to have any difficulty at all, and they didn't quite understand why Zhu Zilong wanted him to assassinate them. (Naturally, it was the father and grandfather of the great inventors of the European countries.) ）

In addition to these little troubles, of course, there are also things that make Liu Feng feel very cool, although there are not many, but there are indeed them.

That is, European women are casually on it, and they are virgins.

That's right, you heard it right.

It's the "Right of the First Night"!

As the diplomatic consul general of the Ming Dynasty who has been here for several years, he naturally has the titles and small fiefs given by various countries, and there are also white people living in the concession.

As a member of the counts, Liu Feng also has the same rights as other counts.

That is, when the inhabitants of the territory get married, they can rush in front of the groom, sleep with the bride for the first night, and take the bride's chastity at will.

Oh my god.

This right that other counts feel very reluctant, Liu Feng can wash himself white every time, spray some perfume, and carry it out seriously.

In the past few years, there are only nearly a thousand virgin brides in his concessions.

Yes, he is going to be a virgin and a thousand beheaded!

It's so cool!

It's still free!

Speaking of which, Europeans are really brain-dead.

The reason is also very simple, the European concept of hygiene during this period was very backward, and in many areas, adult women have been discriminated against as dirty because of the smell of menstruation.

Coupled with some superstitious factors, virgins are generally considered to be poisonous and dirty. (I have to say that the Europeans in this period had a very strong concept and admired it.) ）

In the eyes of those ignorant European countrymen, only the honorable lords and monks could break the uncleanness and curse of the virgins.

So, gradually, it evolved into the rhythm of the virgin following your lord's trunk.

It's just that the average European lord is not very willing to go to xxoo your bride.
