"The things of Hades are not something that the child can control." Alicia couldn't help but say, "He's going to open a Pandora's box!" What is the purpose of this child? ”

"It's so hidden that even Ebs has lied to me, but he can't fool me." Char muttered softly.

"This kid has a deep hatred in his heart.

This hatred did not disappear with the death of the heads of the religion and the main promoters of his mother's persecution. ”

"What does he hate?" Alicia asked with a frown.

"Remember the little village we arrived at when we first went to the South?" Char said.

Alicia jaw.

"As the priest beat us into evil wizards, the whole village raised their pitchforks and hoes and clamoured to burn us at the stake.

Gayward's mother had the exact same experience. ”

Char muttered softly.

"Everyone in the whole neighborhood was shouting for the witch to be put to death.

No one spoke for her, interceded for her.

Even before the verdict of the trial came out, everyone had already identified her as a witch in their hearts.

The despair of a weak woman and a boy who has not yet reached adulthood is unimaginable compared to the powerful us.

The whole world is against them.

Imagine when your mother was burned at the stake, screaming in agony and dying in the fire.

What do you feel like when you hear in your ears, not some unbearable exclamations, only excited shouts and cheers with pleasure? ”

Alicia took a deep breath and said, "So. What does he hate the Britannians? ”

Char didn't answer, but continued, "Ebs will take care of it, trust his ability."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day, there seems to be a lantern festival in Beichen, let's go and see it together, and we can also stop by to see the new school.

The construction team has already told me that the general building and soft decoration are almost perfect. ”

Now in this world, there is only one school of witchcraft and wizardry, Hogwarts.

All wizards come out of Hogwarts.

If this situation continues for a few more years, Hogwarts will even surpass the Wizarding Society.

With the retirement of Ebs, the school will be almost visible to the naked eye to go down a path that Char does not want to see.

In a sense, the reason why Gayward's Witch Party was established was largely due to the fact that he had been a mentor at Hogwarts in the past.

The wizarding world also needs checks and balances, so it is necessary to establish the rest of the schools.

Alicia nodded

The time of the day was almost fleeting for Char.

Char and Alicia join hands in a city south of Beichen.

The night sky was covered with stars, and it was already late at night, but the city had no intention of resting, and the lanterns hanging in front of the buildings and shops on the streets lit up the city.

There are no fewer people on the streets, people come and go, and the chatter is not lively.

Char was in the middle of the street, quietly surveying the city, watching the crowd of people come and go.

Although the people of this land are of the same origin as the people of the country where Char used to live.

But the architectural style of the interior is very different from the previous life.

Char's country, because of a hundred years of humiliation, as well as the influence of foreign colonizer culture, as well as the influence of building materials and a large population, has lost a lot of traditional style in architecture.

Most of the houses are boxy cement coffin houses, and even if there are some other styles, they are mostly European-style.

But the architecture of this country in this world is more traditional.

Whether it is a palace, a temple, a residence, etc., regardless of its size, the exterior shape is composed of three parts: the foundation, the body of the house and the roof, and the integration of a single building is implemented.

Of course, with the advancement of materials, as well as the growth of the population, it is clearly impractical to use firewood as in the past.

People have developed the neo-Shenzhou style of architecture from traditional architecture.

Newer, cheaper materials are used while retaining the traditional style, but in some places wood is still used, and if not at all, it is copied from the rest of the material.

Ridges, tiles, as small as doors and windows, door knockers, and corner leaves, all have very distinct decorative shapes or patterns, and most of these decorative components are exquisite and transparent woodcut shapes.

The eaves that stretch out far away, the elastic eaves curve, the slightly curved roof formed by the lifting frame, the slightly warped corners, as well as the changes in the form of many roofs such as hard mountains, hanging mountains, rest mountains, palaces, cumulating points, cross ridges, domes, heavy eaves, etc., together with brilliant and dazzling glazed tiles, make the building produce a unique and strong visual effect and artistic appeal.

But these traditional buildings do not bring any sense of antiquity, but have an indescribable grandeur and shock.

Because of the use of new materials, there is no limitation of a single two- or three-story building like the previous buildings.

Char even saw the 99-meter-high antique glazed tile building built against the mountain not far away, this building is almost as high as the mountains behind it, abrupt and independent, and the scene looks imposing.

Not to mention the day, especially at night, when the retro lanterns are lit at the same time, the whole city becomes a city that never sleeps.

People walked through the city, played, drunk, talked, and wore clothes that belonged to the style of the country.

Of course, it is not an ancient costume, but a modern costume with an obvious traditional style, and you can see history and a nation on the body of these clothes.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and confidence.

Flourishing.

This is Char's first image when he sees this city, not rich, not strong, and even has a feeling of extravagance, which makes people a little worried about whether in the next second, this city of bliss will collapse because of its prosperity and decline.

Char seems to be able to see through this era the prosperous Tang Dynasty of thousands of years ago.

Char watched all this in distraction, and he had been playing in the natural scenery for various reasons such as the castle being too eye-catching, but this was the first time he had come to a major city like this.

For a while, some memories of the past and all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.

Alicia on one side obviously noticed Char's strange appearance, and she turned her head and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Char wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's just a little emotional." ”

Alicia bowed, and she also looked at all this with a lost mind, "It's such a beautiful city, it's hard to imagine, it's not even the capital." ”

"Accompany the capital." Char said, "Beichen is a multi-capital system, with multiple accompanying capitals. ”

The multi-Beijing system is actually very common in history, although the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty is not large, but in addition to Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, there is also the West. Jinghenan South Mansion, South. Jingying Tianfu and BJ Daimyo Mansion have a total of four capitals.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, in addition to the well-known Chang'an City, there were four accompanying capitals, a total of five capitals.

And the five capitals are not the highest record, and the Jin Dynasty, which stood side by side with the Song Dynasty. In the era of Kim Heejong, there were six capitals.

Almost all dynasties in history had more than one capital, and in addition to the capital city that was the political center at the time, the rulers would set up other capital cities for various purposes, which had a more important impact on the dynasty.

Some dynasties established an economic center of gravity in a more economically developed place, which could play a role in promoting economic development at that time.

Some dynasties established a Liudu type of companion capital in the birthplace of their ancestors or in the traditional place of ancestor worship, which could have an important impact on the thinking of the people at that time and consolidate the foundation of cultural domination.

In the face of other regimes, some dynasties will establish a national defense capital at the corresponding military town.

Therefore, along with the continuous changes in the political environment, the system of establishing the capital of the dynasty has been constantly changing in the two capitals and other multi-capital systems.

Beichen's territory is huge, but the transportation capacity is far from the extent that a single capital can communicate with the whole country, so the existence of the multi-Beijing system is necessary.

For example, Kyoto in the west can communicate with Central Asia, and after Beichen shifts its strategic center to the south, it will also set up a southern Kyoto in the south in order to control the islands in the south.

Beichen conquered Kyushu Island more than 100 years ago, and the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea are basically inland seas, so the safety of coastal cities is guaranteed.

The next few hundred years were under the sea power, and the existence of a Kyoto on the coast was important.

However, with the exception of Kyushu Island, the country remained, and for Beichen's strategy, the country's land was of little use except for some typhoons and tsunamis, and there were many earthquakes.

As long as Beichen firmly controls Southeast Asia, this country can only follow Beichen's ass closely.

Of course, there is only one capital, which is still in the north.

The enemy in the north still needs to be guarded against, not only in Russia, but also in Britannia.

In the event of a war, it is more convenient to set up the capital in the north and continue to retreat to the south, and in the future, after having mechanized troops, you can also start directly into Moscow, and the road is almost all plains, and the deterrent forces of the two bordering powers can maintain a good balance.

The country is too big, the ambition is too big, the choice of the capital is indeed a bit of a headache, Kyoto in the north is too far away, it is not good to control Southeast Asia, the Tianfu is too declining, the dynasty that chose this as the capital basically has no good results, Guangfu is a bit of a waste of the basics, and it is possible to lose the north.

The north is not a traditional Han land, and if you don't choose a place in the north as the capital, there will be a worry about the northerners' centrifugal betrayal.

In general, Beichen's strategic layout over the years has been very far-sighted.

In Char's world, there was a person named Mackinder who once proposed a concept called the World Island, a world island composed of Europe, Asia, and Africa, which is the world's largest, most populous, and richest land combination.

In the center of the World Island, from the Volga River to the Yangtze River, from the Himalayas to the North Pole, this is the heart of the World Island and the most resourceful region in the world.

He believed that when Eurasia was covered by a dense network of railways, a powerful continental state would dominate the vast land that began at the gateway to Eastern Europe.

And this will be the prelude to the domination of Eurasia and, by extension, of the world: "Whoever controls Eastern Europe controls the heartland; Whoever controls the Heartland controls the World Island; Whoever controls the World Island controls the world. “

Therefore, the core of Beichen's strategy for hundreds of years has always been Central Asia, in the era of agricultural land rights, seize a large amount of plain land, reclaim farmland to develop population, and pass through Central Asia, but because of the desert and mountain barriers, it is impractical to completely control it.

If you are too eager to achieve success, you will even lose the basic plate of the land of Shenzhou and let the internal disintegration, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Beichen retreated to the next best thing and began to sinicize Central Asia to prepare for the future.

In fact, their strategy was very successful, and although Beichen was dissolved, the countries of Central Asia are still Han Chinese dynasties.

Before the disintegration, the population of the Han people in Beichen had reached more than one billion.

Of course, there are not so many people in the Central Dynasty, and there are about 500 million in the Imperial Dynasty.

It's not a lot, and the population of the Qing Dynasty during this time period is about the same number.

And now the population of Southeast Asia is only about tens of millions, and there are even many Han people in it.

In the next few hundred years, it was the world of sea power, so their strategic center shifted to sea power and operated in the south.

In fact, the resources of the south are not inferior to those of the north.

For example, it was under the hands of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and then belonged to the Natuna Islands in Indonesia.

It has 4 percent of the world's proven reserves of oil and 40 percent of natural gas, which is more abundant than the oil reserves of the Persian Gulf, but it is more difficult to exploit.

But none of this will be a problem in the future.

Char felt that the ruling class of this country handled the affairs of the country in a way that was very similar to that of a certain country, and that its policies were coherent, unlike other countries where a new political team came to power and then stopped or even reversed a certain policy.

Rather, there are years, even decades, hundreds of years of national planning, and it is steadily advancing.

Of course, that's just the good side.

The country is very similar to Britannia, and the oppression of the people at the bottom by certain elites, represented by the monarch, still exists.

They lacked a real revolution, or else it would have ended up British.

No country can thrive all the time.

Southeast Asia is very close to Beichen, and has ethnic and cultural advantages, so there is no need to worry about the weakening of local political, economic, cultural, military and other aspects of management due to the export of domestic elites.

However, the huge land needs sufficient military strength to protect it, the military expenditure will be huge, and the unfair distribution of capital will also make the country's people more conflicted.

However, Char can help, after all, if Beichen is weakened, Britannia will be the only one, which is not a good thing. (End of chapter)
