A dynasty that lasted for a thousand years, and Constantinople was the capital for a thousand years, which is unique in the history of the world, but in 1453, the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople, razing the entire city to the ground, and the second largest city in the world disappeared.

Subsequently, Turkey rebuilt the new city on the original site of Constantinople and named it Istanbul, the scale of the city is still very large, and by the middle of the seventeenth century, with the height of Turkey's national power, Istanbul has also become the world's largest city, in terms of area, larger than the city of Beijing.

Wang Feng looked at the city expressionlessly, and said coldly: "I don't like Istanbul very much, I hate the dome building, I would rather it still be called Constantinople, because an era and a civilization will be destroyed, but sadly, on the eve of Constantinople being breached, no European country came to support, although the Eastern Roman Empire has blocked countless attacks from the Persians, Arabs and Kievians for the hinterland of Central and Western Europe behind it for a thousand years."

Even two hundred and fifty years ago, the Crusaders captured Constantinople, and the commander ordered that they could burn and loot at will within a week in order to reward the knights' military exploits, and also established the Romanian Empire on the territory of Byzantium, many feudal lords occupied large tracts of land, and brutally oppressed the local population, and the Eastern Roman Empire only had a small part of the Balkan Peninsula and some territories in Asia Minor, until 1261, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Crusaders to recover Constantinople, but it was already greatly damaged, It planted the bane for the death of Turkey more than 200 years later.

After the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, almost all the countries of Central and Western Europe tasted the bitter fruits, and Vienna was besieged twice, putting Europeans in danger of extinction, in order to preserve the bloodline. Getting rid of the threat of Turkey, the Europeans began a great voyage and colonized outward, which objectively promoted the development of a series of technologies such as navigation and gunpowder, and Muscovy also obtained the title of the successor of the Eastern Roman Empire through the name of the last princess Sophia, so it is said. The fall of Constantinople was not only a tragedy for the Eastern Roman Empire, but also a rewriting of world history. "It seems like this." Yang Shuijiao groaned slightly, then snapped her fingers and said: "If there was no great voyage in Europe, there would be no Qingying War, the Qing Dynasty is still as stable as Mount Tai, our fate will all change, I am the daughter of a poor family in Guangxi, I opened the mountain and burned charcoal for a living, and I was still in my hometown in Guangxi at this time." I don't know who to marry, Xiuying is the landlord's wife in Qingpu County, recruiting a son-in-law to come to the door, she must be bullied quite miserably, and you, you are still a ruffian hooligan in Nanjing, maybe you work hard, you can marry Shanxiang as a wife. At most, he will maintain an ambiguous relationship with Luan Xiang, but there are so many other women. Don't even think about it, they must be other people's wives, and all these changes started with the Turkish attack on Constantinople. "That's not right!" As she was talking, Yang Shuijiao twisted her eyebrows again: "If you want to talk about the root, it should still lie in China." If it weren't for the defeat of the Turks by the Tang Dynasty, there would not be the current Turkey, and then Turkey in turn indirectly harmed China, no, it was the Qing Dynasty. China will have a chance to rise again, so Turkey should have helped China instead, oops, I'm confused. “

Yang Shuijiao pouted in distress, and Zhou Xiuying couldn't help laughing: "Shui Jiao, you have gotten into the tip of the horns, if you want to calculate it like this, the account will be calculated on Rouran's head, if it is not for Rouran's demise, how can there be Turkic power?" Pushing further, the decline of Rouran is caused by the long-term war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is strong because of the Wuhu Chaohua, the strength of our Han nationality has been greatly reduced, and the direct cause of the Wuhu Chaohua is the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty, and the root cause is the policy of allowing the Hu people to move into the interior to settle down since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. “

Wang Feng also said: "The account is not calculated like this, historical events are not simply one one, two is two, but there are many boosting factors, all of which are indispensable, so I have always held the view that history has never been inevitable, history is driven by accidental events, take me as an example, if it wasn't for the Qing army to capture Zhuang Ding and pull him up to the city wall of Nanjing to die, how could I have today?" China and the rest of the world may not be what it is today.

Don't think too much about this kind of thing, you will never be able to figure out a cause and effect, thinking too much is just hurting your mind, Istanbul is ahead, Turkish Sultan Abdulaziz invited me to the shore for a banquet, then I will meet him. “

Boss Chen hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, you have to be careful, a while ago, Turkey wanted to ask for Tsaritsyn from Commander Shi, but was refused, it is not ruled out that he has not given up and wants to make up his mind from you, and Turkey is a Turkic relic, and has always been untrustworthy, so I am afraid that if I can't talk, I will use his home advantage to coerce you, in short, there is no good banquet." “

At present, the situation in the Caucasus is extremely complicated, Turkey and Iran occupy the southern part of the Caucasus, China and the puppet Russian army occupy the north, and many ethnic groups in the south, such as Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, Ossetia, Dagestan, etc., have been oppressed and enslaved by Ottoman Turkey and Iran for a long time, and are absolutely unwilling to return to the arms of these two countries.

Coupled with the millions of refugees from Central Asia who were driven all the way into the South Caucasus by the Sino-Russian coalition forces, the entire region is surging like a powder keg, which is about to erupt.

It's just that because of the presence of the Chinese army, no one dares to make the first move, but as soon as the Chinese army leaves, the Caucasus will inevitably fall into a melee, either Turkey and Iran will re-enslave those small and weak races, or these races will enter a long-term war mode with the above two countries.

After all, China does not have a good reputation among some traditional countries, and has always liked to split other countries, and the surrounding traditional countries are full of vigilance against China, while Iran and Turkey have been under the attack and colonial rule of the West for a long time, and their national strength has declined so much that they are simply unable to confront China.

So, will China do that? China's history of dividing Vietnam, Japan, the United States, and Russia, and no guarantee that it will not do anything to Turkey and Iran is a heavy strain on these two countries, but it is a boon for many ethnic groups in the Caucasus.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry recently issued a statement to the outside world that China, after consultation with the Russian Empire of Justice, has established that the northern boundary of China's territory is in the Arctic Ocean, and the western boundary extends from the Ural Mountains to the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, and that the Russian Empire of Justice has given up its territorial claims to the Siberian region.
