Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1049 Postscript 5
In this world, there are no eternal friends or enemies between countries, but only eternal interests!

No matter how close a relationship is, it cannot withstand the passage of time.

The counterattack of the world of one god brought the relationship between the seven western countries and the Central Plains closer again, and the gap formed in the past 200 years was filled.But what about after the war?Everything remains the same.

A war made the Seven Kingdoms realize the importance of the Central Plains to them, but it also made them understand their own "weakness".

At the moment, Lu Qi, who has put more energy on the development of the Americas, obviously doesn't care much about the interests of the Far West.There is only half of Europe's monotheistic world left, even if the population is hundreds of millions, but the distance is too far away, it can't provide Lu Qi with too many benefits.

In other words, as the ruler of the world, the Lu Qi Empire has too many interests involved, and the proportion of the world of one god is too small.

It's so small that Lu Qi's central government is even willing to teach the world of one god to the seven countries in the west.

Just because they are more willing to devote their limited energy to the great development of the Americas.If you don't invest in Tianzhu, Australia, Southeast Asia, or even Tianfang World and the east coast of Africa, the interests involved in these options will exceed those of the world of One God at the westernmost end of the mainland.

This is a multiple-choice question that is easy to choose, and Lu Qi just lost a choice with the least benefit.Moreover, distributing these benefits to the seven countries in the western region may be considered a good strategy to unite allies in Lu Qi's court.

After all, America 200 years from now will be very different from America 200 years ago.At that point in time, the interests of the Americas completely drew the attention of the Central Plains, and the mere monolithic world could not be compared with the Americas at all.

If one god world can be exchanged for the concessions of the seven countries in the West in the interests of the Americas, it will undoubtedly make a lot of money.

——Back then, Lu Qi left the Americas to his descendants. Originally, it was reserved only for the royal family, and later added the vassal clan, but they must also be the best of the latter generation.

This limits the number of American countries to a certain extent, but after 200 years, the restrictions have already been filled.America has long passed the era of staking.

In the eyes of the upper echelons of the Central Plains court, this is undoubtedly a wise strategic choice.

But its effect was a protracted war that broke out in the European world and lasted for 30 years.

When the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Border keenly discovered that the Central Plains actually didn't care about the interests of the world of one god, what would they do?Curse the last sentence: A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and then he suddenly bites on it.

Compared with the concessions in the Americas, the world of One God, which is close at hand, is more important.

Shinra, France, Italy, England, Scotland, Aragon and other countries, this is a population of hundreds of millions, and occupies a favorable terrain-not to enter the Americas westward, but to the west coast of Africa in the south, and the seven countries in the west are dreaming want to devour them.

Moreover, the Seven Kingdoms also have the Tianfang World as an ally. After the One God World was severely cleaned up by Lu Qian, until the war resumed, there was no large-scale war in the entire Europe.But when it comes to the Iberian Peninsula, small-scale battles lasted for nearly a hundred years.

Until the coalition forces of Castile and Aragon achieved a decisive victory against the Moors in Las Navas de Tolosa; after that, they recovered Cordoba, Seville, Jerez, Cadiz and other cities destroyed the Moorish Kingdom of Granada, and completely drove the Tianfang Cult out of the Iberian Peninsula.

This happened much earlier than the same scene in history, which also caused Tianfang World to suffer a lot.Compared with the same period in history, the latter is also in a state of severe shrinkage.The Tianfang Sect didn't dare to touch Lu Qi's bad luck. When they returned to the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Persian Plateau, they could only turn around and enter Africa, competing with the Orthodox Church believed by the Ethiopians in Heishi Li.

There were winners and losers in the battle between the two, but generally speaking, it is an indisputable fact that the Tianfang Sect has penetrated to the south of the North African desert.Especially the west coast of Africa, is Ethiopia in the east?

Now that it is joining forces with the Seven Nations, one purpose is to return to the Iberian Peninsula to protect their interests on the west coast of Africa.The Seven Kingdoms join hands with it, that is, cooperation will benefit both parties, and each has its own needs!
Thus, the war was fought for 30 years.Known as the "30 Years War"!
The two sides did not know how many people they lost, and they fought each other, which brought huge human, material and economic losses to both sides.

Just because the Seven Kingdoms have sufficient backup, whether it is the Central Plains or other vassal states, they don't send people to join the war, but they can at least lend money to the Seven Kingdoms.

As long as they can win the One God World, with the backing of the rich West Coast of Africa, how much money can't they repay?
And it turns out that's exactly how things turned out.After winning the One God World, although all the seven countries in the western frontier were seriously injured, after 50 years of recuperation, they not only regained their strength, but also made great progress in their national strength.

Because they don't exist 'enemies'!
No matter whether it is the feudal kingdom behind it or the neighboring Tianfang World, none of them dare to stretch out their fangs to them.This allows them a completely safe environment and ample time to recover.

The huge Shenluo Empire fell apart, France and Italy also became fragmented, and the British Isles were already fragmented. The result of this is that the entire monotheistic world was shattered into small stones, and many of the "national" regimes were destroyed by the Seven Kingdoms. countries took control.To this end, the Seven Kingdoms established dozens of consulates in One God World, and even cut off concessions in major cities in each country.

Lu Qian never imagined that Europe, which he never forgot, and the monotheistic world that he cared about until the end of his life, would be solved in this way.

Monotheism has not been cut off, and Europe has not been completely colored by yellow, but the world of monotheism is no longer a threat to Chinese civilization.

Even if they embarked on a great voyage in the original time and space, even if in the next hundred years, merchant ships from Europe would go south to South Africa and west to America, but the powers of the Seven Kingdoms such as Wu and Dai would occupy the dominant position. , not the natives of Europa.

—the latter turned into a pack of carrion hyenas following the lion's ass.

It's just that as the Central Plains no longer sends immigrants to the seven countries in the western border, with the great development of North and South America, and with the development and growth of each feudal country in the Americas, the competition and competition, the cause and effect and interests involved behind it are becoming more and more serious. too much.

You must know that America is not the taboo of the royal family of the Central Plains. Over the long period of time, countless royal families and clan descendants have arrived in America, established gathering points, established immigrant cities, and established their own country.

When the monotheistic world launched a counterattack, in fact, the Americas at that time were already filled.There is no way to take out the land from the Americas anymore.The entire 200-year "American Enfeoffment" came to an end.But this does not mean that the densely packed countries in the Americas can coexist peacefully.

How is that possible?
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.No one wants to expand their territory and eliminate potential threats.

Just like those historians said, the emergence of imperial hegemony has undeniable inevitability and a certain degree of contingency. Except for the Lu Qi Empire, in fact, no hegemonic country has a foresight, and in a long time, A strategic plan that can be firmly implemented.Whether in the East or in the West, imperial hegemony is often formed naturally in the pursuit of its own absolute security and peace, and in response to surrounding military threats.

This is how the local conflicts and wars in the Americas came about.

Any feudal country can feel a strong threat in the process of development, so it becomes inevitable to eliminate the threat.

And when the strength of each of the American countries has grown to a certain level, external expansion has become a necessity!
But as the leader of the Lu clan in the world, the Central Plains is definitely not happy to see internal strife among his younger brothers.So what do they do?When the American states were not so dense, there was still room to adjust the contradictions, but when each state was established in the north and south of the Americas, all they could do was suppress.

Like a dam blocking water.Although everyone knows that blocking is worse than sparse, but the general situation is such that blocking has become inevitable.

Such ones must be piled up together, and once it breaks out, it will be a war that will affect the entire America.Because there are distant or near connections between the lords of each feudal country, and they stood in teams and formed teams in the middle and early 200 years. At this time, the majesty of the emperor of the Central Plains is useless.

If it is an ordinary skirmish, or a local war, this kind of battle is not terrible.

But the current battle involves all aspects.Because there is a "backer" behind the feudal country, when the war in the Americas caused the relationship between the Lu family's countries, Lu Qian laid down a huge country, carefully arranged each of his sons, and finally forged the Lu family's country, It just collapsed.

……

25 years in the beginning.The First World War is now in its seventh year.The city of Jinling was filled with wind and rain!
The 52-year-old Emperor Taichu resolutely issued a warning order to the current King Cao seven years ago in order to prevent the State of Cao in the southeastern part of North America from annexing the State of Teng to the north. With an army of 20 from land and sea, Hui Tong Jiang Guo, Pu Guo and other loyal younger brothers launched a war of destroying the country against Cao State.

When it comes to war in the Americas, it's never been straightforward.

The spark sparked by Emperor Taichu finally detonated the whole world.Each of the Lu clan's vassal states and feudal states were drawn into the vortex of war, even including each of Lu Qi's vassal states.

The whole world resounded with the sound of guns and guns, and the suzerain-vassal system that the Lu clan relied on to rule and suppress the world for 500 years was wiped out in the war.

However, this was not beyond Emperor Taichu's expectation. After the start of the American War decades ago, the suzerain-vassal system dominated by the Lu clan existed in name only.

The Central Plains Empire has been working hard to restore the former suzerain-vassal system for decades, and at the same time, the three generations of emperors have also continued to exert their strength.

Because when words can't move some people, it can only be said with force!

Emperor Taichu has confidence in his own strength, he believes that he can win this war concerning the world and restore the supreme majesty of the empire!

However, the appearance of two people severely damaged his plan!
One is Qi Jiguang, Marshal of the Luo Army, who is known as the No. 1 General of the Western Land, and the other is Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of Cao Guo's navy. The two made the Lu Qi Empire's clearly superior military power suffer repeated setbacks.

No, news came just the day before yesterday that the Imperial Army was defeated in the Aral Sea, losing nearly [-] troops.The Western Land Allied Forces have approached Yulong [Yulong Chijie], the kingdom of Pengguo.King Peng [Huacizimo] Lian Shufei reported to Jinling for help.

And because of the consecutive defeats of the imperial army, King Yong and King Jing in the north were eager to move.

Although the coalition forces have not pushed back to the Anxi Protector's Mansion, in the past seven years, Emperor Taichu's Anxi Protector has already lost one person and replaced three.

"His Majesty……"

The Secretary Jianqing came to report, but the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the Military Weapons Supervisor had already arrived.

"Acclaim them an audience!"

Emperor Taichu held a very old-fashioned box in his hand.

Inside the box was a well-preserved copper coupon and a strangely shaped warhead.

"Your Majesty's magic trick, ministers and others throw themselves to the ground!"

"You wait to keep it secret. Go and act quickly! The army needs to use this sharp weapon to fight."

Emperor Taichu waved his hand, not paying any attention to the compliments from his courtiers.

After the two retreated, Emperor Taichu sat quietly in Xuande Pavilion for a while, and then went to Fengxian Hall.

The Fengxian Hall is not the Fengtian Hall. It is the place where sacrifices are held in the palace. The front hall is dedicated to the ranks and portraits of the previous emperors, and the back hall is dedicated to the empress dowager and the queen mother of the Lu Qi Empire.

Emperor Taichu knelt down in front of the portrait of Lu·Traveler·Qian, the founder of the Lu family. He really admired this ancestor more than 500 years ago.

I don't want to talk about some "wills" of this ancestor in politics, but in terms of martial arts and military affairs, he really deserves to be the patriarch who invented guns, and he really deserves to be the master of destiny who must uphold the will of heaven.

Some of the things that Lu Qian did back then have already become legends today, more than 500 years later.Gradually, it followed Han Gaozu Liu San's "tasting the embankment of Daze, dreaming and meeting God. When the thunder and lightning are dark, the Taigong looks at it, and sees the dragon on it. He is pregnant, so he gave birth to Gaozu", following Yang Jian's "Born in Fengyi Prajna Temple, purple air filled the courtyard, with horns on his head, and scales all over his body", and Tang Taizong Li Er's "There are two dragons playing outside the gate of the hall, and they leave in three days", It is similar to Song Taizu Zhao's "red light surrounds the room, and the strange fragrance lingers all over the place. The body is golden, and it will not change for three days".become less believable.

However, among the Lu's royal family, every emperor who inherited the throne and saw the last inheritance left by their ancestors believed that those visions were real.

Only the Lord of Destiny can explain what they saw...

Emperor Taichu was the one who firmly believed that his ancestors were the true masters of destiny. Otherwise, why would today's descendants still rely on his old man's inventions to defend this huge country after 500 years?

Although Emperor Taichu didn't understand why the ancestors named that kind of bullet "Minnie", isn't it a weird name?
