After returning to Göttingen, the first thing Han Xing did (qíng) was to write to the emperor, hoping that he would recognize his title of Duke of Braunschweig.

But when it comes to writing letters, Han Xing is blind, the format of writing letters in each era is very different, I think you have also learned the format of writing letters when you were young, right? But how many people still remember it today? What's more, this letter is not for ordinary people, it is for His Majesty the Emperor, you can't write it casually, if the format is wrong, it will be regarded as a provocation, then it will be a whimper!

And how to call the emperor is also a problem, whether it is the lord or His Majesty, and even the material of the font and paper, it is a series of exquisite questions. Fortunately, there is a "former" His Majesty the King next to Han Xing (shēn), and the specific wording is not a big mistake, the problem is: Louis XVI's native language is French, and the specifications are solved - the gold-painted letter paper, with colorful strokes of vines and roses on the side, Han Xing has never worked so hard to write (qíng) books in the real world!

At this moment, there was a person who did Han Xing a great favor - Marven, the illegitimate son of the Archbishop of Münster, did not expect that this young man had a very in-depth study of court etiquette, heraldry, and aristocratic hereditary, and drafted the letter, which was also a (tào) (tào), with a wave of the quill, the beautiful words written out even Han Xing were red-faced when he saw it, which can be called a splendid article with every word. Of course, it's a splendid article in the pì world.

Originally, Han Xing only thought that this Marven monk was a vase-type talent, and his main purpose was to pretend to make others think that Han Xing was a devout Catholic. After all, almost every Catholic aristocracy had a court priest who was in charge of religious-related matters such as negotiating with religious figures and holding religious ceremonies. If necessary, he also served as a psychological counselor for lords and vassals.

However, Han Xing is simply "pretending to be converted", so naturally he will not really pray and do mass! So the only purpose of this Marven friar is to put it there as a façade, to show others.

In fact, Han Xing was stupid, in this era, monks were a small number of high-level intellectuals, and most of the nobles in the Middle Ages were illiterate, so they wrote books and said that the burden of academic research was basically on the shoulders of monks.

For the monks, writing, copying the Bible, and revising chronicles were the most important tasks in their lives, and they were writers, historians, and philosophers, and they were the dawn of civilization in the obscurantist Middle Ages. Nine out of ten historical records and literary works in the Middle Ages come from the hard work of the monks on the writing desk.

Han Xing was reluctant to accept this Marven when he first accepted it, but he didn't dare not to give face to the Archbishop of Münster, but now it seems that it is good to have a knowledgeable person! Otherwise, Han Xing would be afraid that he would hold back for a few months, and he would not want to hold back a letter with neat handwriting, proper wording, and proper format, and even he couldn't tell the difference between the "f" and "t" written in his tadpole writing!

Moreover, Han Xing also got an amazing news from Marven - the current Holy Roman Emperor is Frederick I! Don't you think you're confused? Except for the name of Frederick (Frederick the Great~) sounds familiar, who is this?

According to the metaphysics of European monarchs, we know that Frederick I was the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to be named "Frederick". This Frederick I was born from the Hohenstaufen family of Swabia to Frederick II, Duke of Swabia (some encyclopedias refer to Frederick the Great of Prussia as his father····· ）； This man is famous in German history, but his exploits are very average, and he is famous because of his nickname - Barbarossa!

Barbarossa, is this nickname starting to sound familiar to you? The famous "Project Barbarossa" is named after him, and Barbarossa is Italian word meaning "red beard". Whether Barbarossa was a redbeard or not remains to be determined, with one theory being that he was born with a red beard; Another theory is that he killed many people in Italy, and his beard was stained red with blood, so the Italians called him "Red Beard".

This Frederick I was also the first "Holy Roman Emperor", and it is known that the Holy Roman Empire was founded by Otto the Great, but at that time the Holy Roman Empire was still called the "Roman Empire". Yes, the original Holy Roman Empire was founded by the Germanic people, who claimed to be the rightful successor of the Roman Empire and the emperor of all the Roman people. (Of course, this is nonsense, Eastern Roman Byzantium is the real legitimate heir)

Before Frederick I, the Germanic Roman Emperor and the Pope fought each other, such as the many encounters between Henry IV and Gregory VII of the Sallian dynasty (the aforementioned Canossa humiliation). Although at first Henry IV was at a disadvantage and had to go to Canossa to cry and beg for forgiveness. But the truth is that Henry IV was just lying on his back and revenge, and it was not too late for ten years before he led his troops into the Vatican and expelled Gregory VII, who eventually died in a foreign land.

However, by Frederick I, several of his unsuccessful conquests in Italy resulted in him having to kiss the Pope's instep in submission, and the Pope was officially above the Emperor, and the Germanic Roman Empire was renamed the Holy Roman Empire.

Ironically, Frederick I was the unlucky man who crossed the river in armor and accidentally fell overboard, while he was on his way to Jerusalem for the Third Crusade. His death was believed by Saladin to be the apparition of Allah, which left Richard the Lionheart without a great helper, and the filth of King Philip II of France and King Lionheart indirectly led to the failure of the Third Crusade.

Han Xing finally had a general understanding of the world process of the infinite world, which was in the middle and late twelfth century (1150~1200) at the height of the Middle Ages, but Han Xing was curious, if all the big people were descendants of reincarnation, why would there be such a historical figure as Frederick I? Is all this a coincidence, or is there some kind of law at work?

However, these distant things were irrelevant to Han Xing, all he cared about was successfully gaining the approval of Frederick I and becoming the Duke of Braunschweig.

After handing the letter to a credible nobleman to send, Han Xing began to plan his own Göttingen expansion plan, and the city did not have anything special in Han Xing's mind.

In the history of Germany, you will remember some famous place names, such as Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Austria, Vienna, Prussia, Hannover, etc., some of which are cities and some are regions, but Göttingen is by no means a famous location.

First of all, according to today's maps, Göttingen is located in the center of Paderborn, Braunschweig, and Feldenburg, adjacent to the Lena River, connecting to the village of Ganquan to the south, and to Bremen to the north and into the North Sea (the infinite world is still called in reality, and the sea area between England and Denmark is called the North Sea).

From this geographical point alone, Göttingen's development is very promising, if you can make good use of water access, you can go all the way to France, England and Denmark. Yes, there is Denmark in the infinite world, a small country located on a peninsula extending from the northern corner of the subcontinent of the Western Kingdom, and the surrounding archipelago, bordering the Holy Roman Empire to the south, similar to the real Denmark.

If Chūn was the trading hub of the Sāo kingdom and the Hesse region, Göttingen had the potential to become a trade hub for the entire North German region. It's just that the infinite world is not developed in navigation and shipbuilding due to unknown reasons, which leads to convenient water trade has not been developed. But Han Xing has a way, he has a large number of shipwrights in the [seaside area], and even the production of cruisers for ocean-going navigation is not a problem, not to mention that it is just a transport ship used in some inland rivers?

Han Xing planned to build the new city of Göttingen on both sides of Göttingen, making it a transport hub for water and land trade in North Germany. Of course, the most important thing is that if Göttingen can become a hub for mass trade in North Germany, Han Xing will be able to sell food and goods more easily, and even sell muskets. Of course, what is sold is definitely obsolete goods.

Based on the Mauser rifle and revolver technology, further improvements to the gunpowder process and the ability of the smoothbore gun (xìng) have been carried out in full swing at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the [Waterfront].

The noble army of Braunschweig has not been disbanded so far, they live in the place where the night banquet was held in Göttingen, to be honest, the food here is so good that the nobles and lords of Braunschweig are not happy, they want Han Xing to stay here every day, it is best to bring their wives and children together, and hold a grand and sumptuous banquet every night.

Originally, Han Xing had already planned to start the expansion plan in Göttingen, but an incident (qíng) happened that interrupted his plan - the Count of Pomeron came to envoy.

Unlike the Duchy of Braunschweig, which was renewed under Han Xing's rule, the civil war of the Duchy of Hesse entered the stage of whitening, not to mention that the 2,000 army of Count Sāo was like a child in Han Xing, but for Count Pomerne of Fritzlar, it was a complete rival.

It stands to reason that the Count of Sāo and the Count of Pomeron should be evenly matched, but don't forget that in the Paderborn Reconquest launched by the Duke of Hesse a few months ago, the Count of Pomeron led his troops to attack Göttingen, but they were defeated and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

On the contrary, with the help of Han Xing, Count Sāo basically did not suffer major casualties, which was the main reason why Count Pomeron gradually lost the upper hand in this succession station of the Duchy of Hesse.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, the Pomerian family seems to like to support the second child, when the old Duke of Hesse and his younger brother Ransen competed for the title of duke, the Count of Pomeron also supported the second - Ransen; Of course, it is never wise to get involved in the war of succession, but the considerable benefits are not acceptable.

The Pomernes were like mad gamblers, knowing that Count Sāo had already ascended to the throne with Heinrich, the eldest son of the Duke of Hesse, and that even if they had the icing on the cake, they would have to sit last. Instead, it was in their choice to support Dietrich, the Duke of Hesse's second son, that they had a chance to overpower Count Sāo.

And Han Xing, the third earl, has become a key figure in the future direction of the Duchy of Hesse, which is also the main reason why the Duke of Hesse supported Han Xing to become the Earl of Paderborn, but unfortunately his plan has not yet been launched, because of his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, he died suddenly and was stillborn.
