Chapter 804: The Rise of the Empire (Finale) T
"The same is true for the French, where there is constant border friction between the two sides. Originally, the French wanted to settle the dispute through peace talks, after all, the French understood that their dispute with the British was nothing more than some rivers, hills, and some villages, and from the perspective of interests, there was no need to resort to force at all, and France had gone through many years of war. At this time, it is finally time to recuperate, and then go to war. Not to mention that the French soldiers couldn't stand it. I am afraid that the finances will not be enough to support another military adventure.
However, when the French had just made a request for further negotiations, the media in Paris made a big splash, and the newspapers unanimously regarded it as a symbol of concession by the French authorities, and the sensational articles told the French with tears that the French had gone through several years of war in order to get the Dutch. Countless warriors were sacrificed and all the money was consumed. What you get is only half of the Netherlands, but even so. These lands were completely piled up by the French with blood. And the shameless and weak bureaucrats demanded peace with the British under the provocation of the British. This negotiation is undoubtedly a complete capitulationism, and the king must severely punish this group of ** bureaucrats. The French must get rid of this group of thieves among the French, and not give up an inch of land. Defend the land that the soldiers returned with blood.
The incitement of the newspaper, fueled by the proud French readers, led to an immediate change of attitude and an immediate withdrawal of any contact with the British, and by this time no one would dare to retreat even a half step. I am afraid that no one will dare to wear the hat of a traitor and a shameless bureaucrat. People are all face-saving, especially the French, bureaucratic aristocrats. It is impossible to retreat, and in order to prevent being deducted, you can only bite the bullet.
In the Netherlands, more and more frequent clashes began to erupt, so that in just one month, there were more than a dozen firefights between the two sides, even so. The two countries did not declare war on each other, and this seems to have become a tacit understanding. The middle and lower classes demanded war. And the political leaders at the top did not give in. On the military side, there are frequent conflicts, but they are reluctant to make a big deal out of the situation.
It's just that under this constant friction, the antagonism between the two countries has climbed to the extreme, and this inexplicable antagonism will continue.
The Ottomans after getting all of Austria. Finally, the door to Europe has been opened, and its presence in Europe is clearly not isolated. Because of the relationship between the French and the British, the British in order to contain France. Apparently falling to the Ottomans, the Ottomans were in high spirits at this time, and they had a premonition that a new era was coming, and this era would be the beginning of the Ottomans entering another number of peaks, and in front of them was an unobstructed view of the fertile land, and in front of the Ottomans. It was the fragmented German Union.
At this time, Germany was not united. These Germanic peoples were one of the ancient peoples of Europe, from the century BC. It is distributed in the form of tribal groups in the Nordic region around the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The ancient Romans called it the Germanic people. Around the half-century BC, most of the Germanic peoples began to settle in the vast area east of the Rhine, north of the Danube, and between the North Sea. The area is called "Germania."
"Germany. The term is derived from the Old German word for "mountain". It means that the earliest history of the thug people is found in the A.D. Chi period. It refers to the year of the Franconian tribes living in the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom, which reached its peak during the reign of Charlemagne and became the Frankish Empire. There were many German-speaking Germanic tribes in the Great Empire, and the dialect spoken by these Germanic tribesmen was called "German". In 8 A.D., Charlemagne died. The Frankish Empire fell apart. In the process of dividing up various legacies. Two kingdoms, East and West, were formed. The political dividing line between the two kingdoms is roughly the same as the linguistic boundary between German and French. The German-speaking kingdom of West Francia later evolved into what would become France, and the inhabitants of the German-speaking kingdom of East Francia gradually developed a sense of "belonging to the same nation" in their long lives. The feeling of this time "Germany." The term has evolved from being synonymous with a language to referring to a person who speaks it. When these speak "Germany." When the tribes of the language later established their own kingdoms. Not only did they use "Germany" to refer to their language and people, but they also used it to name their country
The East Franconian Empire consisted of the five principalities of Saxony, Franconia, Bavaria, Swabian and Thuringia. In the year of the A.D., Caroline, the last emperor of the East Frankish Empire, died without an heir. Duke Conrad I of the Franks was elected king. The transition of the East Frankish Empire to the German Empire began. A.D. citation. In the year Henry I, Duke of Saxony, ascended the throne and officially established the early feudal state and the German monarchy, which was the beginning of German history in the strict sense of the word. The kingdom at this time roughly included present-day Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. In the year of A.D., Otto I was the queen. Strengthened the centralization of power, weakened the power of local feudal lords, occupied the Italian offensive and was crowned emperor by the pope in Rome in the year of La, known as Otto the Great in history. The East Frankish Empire was renamed the Roman Empire. After that, this great empire was in the middle of the Chi period. The central power is weakening.
Beat the year. Kaiser Charles IV's golden edict recognized the right of the emperor to choose the emperor, so that the central imperial power of Shencha Luoga existed in name only, and Germany began to move towards feudal secession, dividing hundreds of small countries or political groups in the land of Germany. This period was the time when the nation-states of Europe were established one after another. Germany, on the other hand, was in a state of civil war, division and backwardness. failed to become a unified nation
Family.
In the anti-old century, the Renaissance movement was set off in Italy, and the influence of this movement in Germany was the Reformation led by Martin Luther in 7, which was a reformist Reformation. Martin Luther's struggle against the authority of the Catholic Church evoked new ideas for social reform, and his translation of the German Bible made an outstanding contribution to the formation of a unified written German.
The Reformation led by Martin Luther led to the emergence of two opposing denominations, Catholicism and Protestantism, in Germany, which represented the different interests of the feudal princes. The conflict between the old and new sects eventually led to the Thirty Years' War of the Old 8 Fighters. The war was also the result of contradictions between the princes and the emperor, between the princes, and between Germany and France. The war later expanded into a European-wide struggle in which political contradictions and religious antagonisms collided, with the result that Germany suffered great losses in territory, economy, and population, and was divided into several large and small states and thousands of knightly states.
Germany was further fragmented.
These feudal vassal states, large and small, were naturally not worth mentioning to the Ottomans. The dream of the Ottomans was to sweep away these obstacles, and finally to attack Paris, the heart of Europe, and to control the heart of Europe.
However, the size of the German Empire hundreds of vassal states is indeed a trouble, the Ottomans arrived in Austria, immediately applied to the Ming to order a batch of weapons, including 200,000 muskets, of course, this is naturally in addition to the account, after all, the Ottomans have long been poor, where is there so much money to buy weapons, but the Ming love is to lend, the Ottomans are willing to lend. Naturally, it is impossible to ask for it
The Ottoman actions caused unease in the German vassal states as well as the French, and against this backdrop, although the finances of the countries had deteriorated. A few months later, France, together with the German vassal states, signed a peace treaty and formed a military alliance, and then ordered a batch of arms worth 1.3 million silver coins from the Ming Dynasty, which of course were also loaned. By this time, the countries are already poor and white, not to mention squeezing out money to buy weapons, I am afraid that even the expansion of the army food is quite short, but not expansion and no, now the Ming Dynasty is completely neutral, there is a big look of only doing business with the Europeans and no longer interfering in any political and military affairs in Europe, if one day, the Ottomans suddenly come over, there is no place to reason.
The expansion of the French army immediately caused uneasiness among the British, and the reason was very simple, the French claimed that it was to deal with the threat from the east, but who would dare to believe such a thing, maybe they would pounce in the direction of the Netherlands? Who can say this kind of thing? Just in case, the British decided to take measures. Not only did they order a batch of arms from Daming, but they also bought a few warships, there is no doubt that they naturally borrowed money, and borrowing money has become a habit in recent years, anyway, everyone borrows. There is no psychological burden either.
The expansion of armaments followed, intensifying for a period of time, and the arms factories of the Ming Dynasty were also increased day and night, and the workers worked almost all night. It smells of a sweatshop.
Three hundred years later. Fourteen of the Ming Dynasty. On the square in front of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, under a huge and majestic statue, countless people arrived here in a long queue, on the LCD screen not far away. A brief message about the 13th war in Europe was being broadcast, and the anchor in a simple and clear suit seriously introduced the course of the war, and the experts on the side began to talk about the success or failure of the war. Finally, he reviewed the previous wars between France and England, Spain and England, and the Ottomans and the Franco-German alliance.
It's just that the chatter of the LCD TV does not affect the current atmosphere, countless people in filial piety clothes look in front of the huge sculpture, and then go silently, among these people, some are from North America, some are from Australia, some are from Haidu, some are from Suez, some are from Siberia, some are from Poland, some are from the Japanese island, but they all have the same identity, they are all yellow skin, black eyes.
The sculpture is hundreds of meters tall and is made entirely of steel. Zhu Jun wearing a yellow robe pointed to the distance with his right hand, his eyes then looked down into the distance, at its feet, is a bunch of flowers, is a solemn hanging head, the sculpture of the new emperor is led by the royal family in the ninth year of Yongshun, countless wealthy businessmen, the people donated to build, its scale is huge, so that the entire city of Nanjing is overshadowed. High-rise buildings guard this rare sculpture area without architecture in Nanjing. Like the stars and the moon.
Along the way of the sculpture is the still standing wall of the Imperial Palace, which is now open for visitors to enjoy, but this was 40 years ago, when Emperor Yongcheng issued an edict to cut the royal expenses. The emperor only occupied a corner of the backyard to Hu. The rest of the place. then put it on time. More and more people gathered around the square, in fact, it was the first stop for almost all visitors to Nanjing, three hundred years ago. The nation that was once reduced to slavery now stands proudly in the world, still radiating the brightest light, and the creator of all this does not seem to have been forgotten. People may be cunning, they may be selfish, they may be intrigued, but the reverence of all for this great emperor is undiminished.
Everyone silently followed the march of the team, and everyone prepared filial piety clothes. It was as if it were an unwritten surname, and it stayed until noon. The palace door suddenly opened, and then a column of palace guards came in array, and many people unconsciously took out their cameras, and then, an official of the Ministry of Rites came with a yellow silk under the support of the guards. Everyone held their breath, and this kind of thing happened every day, whether it was windy or rainy. Even the Yangtze River flooded a hundred years ago. There was no interruption when Nanjing became a Zeguo.
Every noon. Later emperors will entrust their ministers to come here. Tribute to this ancestor.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites stood under the sculpture, and then performed three kneels and nine bows, and the crowd in the rear also knelt down together, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has already abolished the ritual system of kneeling and bowing instead, and many people also realized that kneeling is a symbol of insult, but under this sculpture, people do not feel that this is excessive. Bow of the pure. Obviously, it can't vent the worship psychology in people's hearts, which can be said to be a kind of worship of ancestors.
After the ceremony, the official of the Ministry of Rites sang loudly: "Respectfully Emperor Sheng'an, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Erchen Zhu Tan declared respect: Since the son-in-law succeeded him, he did not dare to slack off, but sincerely exchanged views with the cabinet. Guotai Min'an
The officials of the Ministry of Rites reported to the emperor on behalf of the current Emperor Yongfu, and although this kind of reporting has been reduced to a formality, it has always carried a lot of solemnity. At this moment, the crowd shouted: "Emperor Gao, Sheng'an! ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites finished reading. After another salute, he slowly stepped back and entered the palace wall to pay the decree, and the sculpture was still standing, motionless."
Later, the LCD TV hanging in the distant building continued to be noisy, and the news anchor continued to babble about the news of the decline in car orders from North America, while the rolling subtitles of the news were disregarded as warning all Chinese not to try to travel to Europe and Central Asia in the near future. to prevent accidents.
People are still not leaving, this sculpture not only makes people remember the figure of the great man, but also makes people a monument, a clarion call to inspire people to fight, an inspirational long poem"
Time flies, the stars change, and all the merits and demerits seem to have disappeared into the dust of history, unable to withstand a trace of waves, just this sculpture. But it will still stand, and it will always stand in the Ming Dynasty
