Three months later, in the 29th year of Chongzhen, that is, in the first month of 1656 AD, Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria, returned to Rome in disgrace.

However, Ferdinand III came back this time and was captured by the Ming army.

Yes, the 500,000 HRE army was routed by the Ming army, and Ferdinand III also became a prisoner of war of the Ming army, which was also the second emperor to be captured after Pope Alexander VII of Rome.

The process will take at least fifty years, or even hundreds of years, and the sacrifices and the price to be paid will be an astronomical amount.

At first, Jiang Tianyi, Zheng Sen and others were not convinced, thinking that Chongzhen was exaggerating.

Because judging from the many battles between the Ming army and the European coalition forces, the performance of the European coalition forces was not much stronger than the nomadic armies in Central Asia, and they were slightly stronger than the armies of the Mughal Empire.

However, Chongzhen told them that this view was wrong.

The European coalition did not perform well in the field, but its performance in the defensive war was excellent, which was directly demonstrated by the defense of the European coalition in the Astrakhan Line.

Chongzhen even pointed out a cruel truth.

Europe has just ended a major war, that is, the Thirty Years' War between Catholicism and Protestantism, which greatly gave birth to the innovation of military science and technology in Europe, and at the same time caused a direct consequence, that is, the entire European continent is almost all over the fortresses, and the number of fortresses is tens of thousands!

In a word, the armies of Europe are not good at fighting field wars, but they are still very strong in defensive wars.

What's even worse is that the European continent is full of fortresses, coupled with the army that is good at defense, this is very troublesome, if you really push all the way over, I don't know how many people will die in battle, although the number of troops in the Ming Empire is huge, it can't stand such a method of attrition, so you have to think of another way.

A better solution, of course, would be to fragment Europe and get caught up in a long warlord melee.

So, what can be done to make Europe fragmented? The answer is simple, de-religious.

Except for the ancient Roman era, Europe has never been unified, but there is still a unified gene within it, that is, a unified religion, that is, Christianity.

Even though Christianity is divided into Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christianity, it still believes in the New Testament of the Bible.

It is precisely because of the existence of Christianity that Europe will not slide into the abyss of getting out of control, because at the most critical moment, religion will stand up and mediate, so that countries will not fall into a genocide to the death.

But if it is de-religious, and the monarchy of Europe is higher than the divine power, it is equivalent to siphoning out the unified genes of Europe.

At that time, the friction and war between European countries will no longer be the blood or power of the aristocracy, but will become a brutal struggle between countries and races, and the war will become more cruel, the scale of the war will be much larger than now, and the consumption of Europe will be greater.

Of course, if it is left unchecked, a great unified empire will eventually emerge on the European continent, and it will swallow the six countries with the Chinese and Qin soldiers and finally complete the great cause of unification.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity in Europe.

Because European countries don't have as much time as Qin.

Qin Guofen VI Yu Lie finally completed the unification of China.

But it only takes 20 years at most for the Ming Dynasty to complete the recuperation.

Then it will be able to launch a super-large-scale war of annihilation against Europe.

Twenty years later, the six major towns and fifteen towns of the Ming Dynasty will have a total of 900,000 town soldiers, and at least more than 1.8 million second-generation town soldiers will be reproduced, and there will be a huge army of more than 2.7 million people.

With this huge army of 2.7 million people, it is enough to complete the digestion of the Indian peninsula and the European continent.

As for the American continent and the Australian continent, they are not in such a hurry, because as long as the European continent is conquered, no one can compete with the Ming Dynasty for the Americas and the Australian continent, just those natives? Or the tens of thousands of criminals who have been exiled to these two continents? They can be destroyed in minutes.

Chongzhen's gaze swept over the faces of Mazaran and Ferdinand III, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" If there is no disagreement, sign a peace treaty."

"I have, I disagree." Alexander VII panicked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, as long as the Ming Empire is willing to recognize the Holy See's inheritance, the Holy See is willing to submit to the rule of the Ming Empire, and the Holy See is even willing to pay reparations, yes, we can compensate for this crusade launched by Christendom."

Alexander VII was really anxious, in order

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and in the end, the captain beckoned a number of people to pull the frame away and carried the people to the town health center.

After a series of inspections, Zheng Hongkang suffered heavy losses.

I won't mention the scattered small injuries on my body.

The old doctor of the health center suggested that he go to the big hospital in the county for treatment, but the goose was rejected by Pei Yuhuan with a bitter face, "How can there be so much money at home."

"Besides, the old Zheng family has two boys, and there is really no need to pass on the lineage."

"As for the second leg, it's okay if it's broken, so he can't run too far, if he wants to abandon his wife and children and go away to fly high and laugh proudly, he has to weigh whether he has the ability."

"Actually, that's a good thing."

"He stole people's mother-in-law, the price is to pay two legs, it is still very fair, I have negotiated with Chen Laosan, and since then, the grievances between the two families have been written off."

"It's all neighbors on the same street, you don't see it when you look up, in the final analysis, Zheng Hongkang didn't do it first, as the saying goes, the first one to flirt is cheap, for the sake of neighbors to get along, it's okay for my family to be wronged."

"Alas, I'm a weak woman with two young children, and I'm really tired of dealing with the affairs of the child's father, so it's better to cut through the mess quickly."

In this regard, the melon-eating neighbors in the old street of Konoha Town all showed indescribable expressions on their faces.

Weak woman Shenma, don't you have a point in your heart about your combat effectiveness?

Neighborly harmony......

Scold.

Whoever encounters this kind of thing is an enemy relationship who meets and draws a knife.

Chen Laosan originally wanted to find Zheng Hongkang to argue, at least he had to bite off a large amount of money, and he called it the loss of youth fee, "I am a man in the prime of life, and I was so lonely by Zheng Laoqi that I was lonely in the empty house for three years, and I wasted this good youth in vain, if it wasn't for the sin he created, I would have had a second child, and I had to lose money."

was scolded back by Pei Yuhuan's sentence "You have only been empty for three years, but Zheng Laoqi has lost the qualification to be a man for the rest of his life".

"As for the second child, hey, how else to say it's a coincidence, Wang Xiaohui has just been in her belly for a few months, you see that you don't have to work hard, you have a son, it's a big advantage."

Chen Laosan: "......" peat!

Who stepped on the horse is rare and this cheap.

Angry heart attack.

"I'm not going to do that!"

"Since you want to pull it, that's okay, you break Zheng Laoyi's two legs, and when Wang Xiaohui comes back, I'll just break her one leg, so calculated, I still suffer."

In view of knowing this shrew's combat effectiveness very well, Chen Laosan finally compromised very unwillingly.

At the moment, the town health center.

Zheng Hongkang's face turned red and patted the hospital bed, and he yelled at Pei Yuhuan, "Why don't you treat me? Why? I'm going to a big hospital! I'm going to a big hospital!"

Pei Yuhuan said lightly, "Yes, as long as you can get the money."

Zheng Hongkang is certainly rich.

It's just in the passbook.

A few days ago, he reinstated his documents, and the original intention was to take it himself, but his leg was broken, and he couldn't go with gypsum board.

Finally, he reluctantly handed over the passbook to Pei Yuhuan.

"Take a thousand first."

Pei Yuhuan: "Hmph."

I went directly to the post office and took out all the money in the fold, and there was not a dime left, and I wrote off the fold when it was over.

With a heavy sum of 5,000 yuan, she unceremoniously put it into her small purse, the joint property of the husband and wife, there is nothing wrong, as for Zheng Hongkang, he can cure it if he wants to, which just makes him die.

After all, she is very confident in her strength.

So after Zheng Hongkang went to the county hospital for a detailed examination, he finally got a heartbreaking result.

Only......

It's a pity.

Hehe.

on this.

Preserve the Holy See, even at the expense of Christendom.

The reason is also very simple, as long as the Holy See is still there, as long as the Holy See is still ruling over Christendom, what is a little money? Hundreds of millions of believers in Europe will continue to make offerings to the Holy See.

However, if the Holy See is gone, then there really is nothing left.

Hearing this, Chongzhen smiled and set his eyes on Ferdinand III and other monarchs and prime ministers.

The result was not surprising to Chongzhen, and Ferdinand III, Mazaran and others jumped out to express their opposition.

Seriously, secular monarchs such as Ferdinand III and Mazaran and prime ministers, etc., really can't see that Chongzhen's condition is only good for them, and there is no harm.

The advantage was that the power of the secular monarch was strengthened.

After all, there is no need for the coronation of the Holy See from now on.

Moreover, the old rituals of Christianity still exist, for example, the cathedrals in various countries still exist, and the only thing is that the presiding officer of the church needs to be appointed and dismissed from the Ming Dynasty.

But what does it matter, because the presiding officer of each church can only be selected from among the priests of the church, and the head of the Ming can only be selected from among the alternate candidates, besides, Christianity has lost the power to crown the king, and who will be the presiding officer of each church has any impact on the kingdom? No problem!

Anyway, Mazaran and they couldn't think of any harm.

Therefore, this is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy.

The end result is also self-evident, this proposal was supported by all secular monarchs, prime ministers or representatives, except Pope Alexander VII, who was only a prisoner himself, so what was the use of his opposition? So the Rome Peace Conference soon signed the official document.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the 29th year of Chongzhen, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the Roman Peace Treaty was officially signed.

The European monarchs, prime ministers and delegates led by Ferdinand III were happy to sign the peace treaty, but these monarchs, prime ministers and representatives did not know that with the signing of this peace treaty, the entire Christian world was officially fragmented, and the real war era was approaching in great strides.
