I weave my destiny in parallel time and space
Chapter 64 History of Britannia
The history of the Roman Empire occupies the front part of this history book. This Rome is more powerful than the Rome of another parallel time and space.
Although it experienced several divisions during this period, it was destroyed decades later than its original history, and its territory was even larger.
But this giant ultimately failed to unify the continent of Europa.
The rulers did not have the foresight of Qin Shihuang and failed to unify writing, language and various measurements. These failed to unify, and the so-called empire was nothing more than a group of peoples with different cultures forcibly pieced together by force.
Of course, because of this, the Roman Empire had a deeper influence on the European countries. Even now, Britannia considers itself the successor of Rome.
Since the continental plates in this parallel time and space are one piece, colonists appeared earlier in the New World.
As early as when the Angsans invaded the British Isles, many Celts migrated here to escape the war.
In 1480, the Kydor dynasty was established on the island of Britain. At that time, Baal Britannia, the general who helped the first Kydor king defeat the Plantagenet dynasty, was named Duke of Britain and was sent to colonize the New World.
According to what is written in this history book, the Duke of Britain at that time had great military exploits and had achieved great success. At that time, the New World had actually been colonized by other countries.
Behind it is also the territory of this country. The territory was updated in 1677, which is only a few decades ago.
At first glance, Xia Ya almost thought this was the Great Mongol Empire, but it was smaller than the Great Mongol Empire. It was probably a few governorates of the Tang Dynasty plus the land of the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, and a few more places.
Above is another name: "Beichen".
This is the meaning of the North Star. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: To govern with virtue is like the North Star, which lives in its place and is supported by all the stars.
But what's interesting is that there really is a country called Nanchen. In Australia, there is a land called Zealandia Asia next to Australia. The land area of this world is indeed much larger than Char's time and space.
This North Star connects to the Bay of Bengal, breaking the Achilles' heel of the Strait of Malacca, which will become the world's largest port in the future. The Southwest connects to the Black Sea, deepening the influence of Central Asia.
With Ryukyu and Kyushu Islands, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea have directly become inland seas, making it easy to go eastward, and the strategic significance is extremely important.
The important oil reserves are also covered, so it’s up to the land grabbers.
Lake Baikal is also included. It is the largest freshwater resource on the Eurasian continent. As long as it is properly utilized, the water shortage problem in the northwest can be easily solved.
If it had not experienced division in the middle and persisted until after the second industrial revolution, then this country's status would be almost unshakable.
Huge resources will be maximized after the second industrial revolution. The superior geographical location can directly communicate between the East and the West without crossing any country, and even direct internal circulation will create an extremely huge economy.
However, Xiaya is pessimistic about whether this kind of territory can be maintained perfectly until the second industrial revolution. There are too many plains to defend, there are hundreds of ethnic groups inside, and the conflicts are also very terrifying.
And in essence, it is impossible for such a large land to be ruled by a centralized government in this era when there are no trains. It should be like the Great Mongol Empire, with the central dynasty as the core and multiple Pan vassal states forming a unified but unified relatively independent state.
And according to this picture, if Dechuan Buddhism appears on this land again, they will have to face Dezo's zoo.
But if the ethnic groups in these lands can be successfully Chineseized before splitting, then this country will have completed an extremely important historical mission.
Xia Ya quickly folded up the map. Don't look at this kind of map too much, as it will make you dream.
The compatriots in this parallel time and space are indeed more up-to-date.
At that time, the New World was used by this country as a place of exile for criminals.
A prince of the Beichen Dynasty who failed in the struggle for imperial power was exiled here to rule the land near the Bering Sea, and was given the national title "Beizhou".
In addition, there are also the forces of the indigenous people and the Celts who fled here hundreds of years ago. The forces are complex and dangerous.
It can be said that King Gidor sent Duke Britain here, which is equivalent to exile.
But coincidentally, Duke Britannia is also a Celtic. In particular, he has the iconic red hair of the Celtics, which is easy to identify.
After arriving in the New World, they discovered the Celtic tribes that had thrived there for hundreds of years.
After experiencing some stories, he married the daughter of the leader of the largest Celtic tribe in the area, and integrated several large local Celtic tribes to establish the original Kingdom of Britannia.
In 1510, Henry Kiddot died, and II's cruelty and extravagance inspired the internal peasant revolution and the restoration movement of the Plantagenet dynasty.
In 1513, Kiddor II was forced to retreat to the Edinburgh area. The following year, he was arrested by the rebels and forced to issue a declaration of abdication, which is known in history as "The Humiliation of Edinburgh".
Richard Hector, Duke of Britannia and the First Knight of the Round Table, who was already King of Britannia, assisted the royal family in escaping to Britannia. The following year, the royal family of the Kydor dynasty became extinct.
The Duke of Britannia succeeded to the throne and was known as Holy Britannia Emperor I in history. The national system was changed from a monarchy to an imperial system, and the country's name was also changed to the Holy Britannia Empire.
At that time, Britannia already covered about half of North America.
Unfortunately, Duke Britannia had no children, only one daughter. After the death of Duke Britannia, his daughter Lilith Britannia succeeded to the throne and became the second Emperor of Britannia.
Three years later, in order to face the pressure from the Beichen Empire, and in order to resist the Spanish Empire established in the south, the King of Beizhou Kingdom and the Queen of Britannia chose to marry and the two saints ruled together. The New World reached a certain degree of stability. Unite.
This surprised Char.
Merging countries due to marriage is actually very common in Europe. In other words, all royal families in Europe can actually find blood connections.
Spain is a classic example of a marriage merger, but this is because their cultures are inherently similar and they believe in the same religion.
Beizhou and Britannia are two countries with different cultures and religions. The difficulty of merging them is tantamount to creating a new country.
However, he later gave an answer, saying that the king of Beizhou Kingdom was so beautiful that the Queen of Britannia fell in love with him almost at a glance.
Moreover, there are actually many Chinese Celts in Beizhou Kingdom, and because of the huge territory of Beichen in this time and space, the number of ethnic groups within them is far more than fifty-six, their beliefs are complex, and they are more tolerant.
After the two countries merged, Britannia and Beichen fought a maritime war of independence in the Bering Sea.
Although Beichen was not a purely continental power country, and its naval battles were not weak, the supply line was too long, and Britannia was mainly defensive, so in the end there was no result.
And because of this battle, Beizhou Kingdom and Beichen also completely broke apart. Beichen took back the royal surname of the king of Beizhou Kingdom and deprived Beizhou Kingdom of its country name. Therefore, Britannia is still called Brittany. Ya.
At first glance, it may be difficult to understand Beichen's approach.
Because if the imperial surname and country title are not taken back, no matter how bad the relationship with the suzerain country is, this land will still be a colony of Beichen.
And if all this is taken back, it will be equivalent to handing over this land to the aliens.
However, deducing from the results, Xia Ya can understand Beichen's approach.
First of all, the merger of Beizhou Kingdom and Britannia was mostly due to external pressure. Even though the heads of the two countries were dealing with it, the internal conflicts between the ethnic groups and the aristocratic class were still difficult to reconcile. Troubling religious conflicts.
Therefore, in more than ten years, when external pressure gradually eases, it is almost inevitable that the two will split again.
Beizhou is weaker than Britannia because almost all the Beichen people in Beizhou are descendants of exiled criminals. They don't have many craftsmen, and they don't inherit much knowledge from Beichen.
Moreover, Britannia is backed by Europe, while Beizhou can only be backed by Beichen, but the difference between being separated by the largest ocean in the world and being separated by a piece of land is very big.
Therefore, the final outcome of the Beizhou Kingdom must be the destruction and annexation of Britannia, and the war to destroy the country will inevitably bring about catastrophic destruction of population and culture.
The end result won't be too good either.
And if the imperial surname and country name were taken back, it would be equivalent to Beichen pushing the Beizhou Kingdom in the back, helping them accelerate their integration into Britannia and reducing the possibility of a second split. History has also proven this. .
Beichen is too far away from North America, and even if you really want to interfere, it is out of reach.
The vastness of the Pacific Ocean is still difficult to cross with the technology of the 16th century, and they do not need such an exiled royal family to continue the royal family name.
Although the national and imperial surnames were taken away, the tens of thousands of Han people in Beizhou and their culture were not deprived.
Fusion can have a longer-lasting impact than being absorbed by destruction.
This method is equivalent to forcibly injecting Beichen's genes into Britannia. The blood and culture belonging to Beichen will gradually be integrated into Britannia, influencing the country in a subtle way.
If Beichen weakens and the West rises in the future, this country will not completely fall to the West because of the blood flowing from Beichen in its blood.
This is a conspiracy, and it is also a piece of poison wrapped in honey, but whether it will work can only be judged by history.
As for the Spanish Empire in the south, there is also a certain description in this book. It was established by some Indians and European colonists. Because there are Indians in it, it is logical to say that North America is their homeland.
However, this country is still dominated by European colonists.
Silently closing the history book in his hand, Xia Ya fell into deep thought, but the door on one side opened and the tinkling sound of the wind chimes on the door interrupted his thoughts.
He turned his head and said subconsciously.
"Sorry, we're closed."
However, after seeing the visitor, his eyes showed some interest.
The visitors were two women, one of whom Xia Ya had met not long ago. In the palace, when the emperor named Moria died, she was beside him.
She is the current empress of this empire, Isabel Zu Britannia.
