Chapter 855: Don't Hack France
How does a princess who came out of a village of more than 3,000 people sound so ironic! In the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor's daughter, no one else is a princess, even if it comes out of the grassland, it is the scale of millions of people, a place of thousands of people, there is also a face called the country?
Who gives confidence?
Lan Yu couldn't help but laugh.
It's Liu Chun, he's quite calm, a princess of thousands of people, it's really not unusual in Europe, the famous Princess Sissi still came out of a village of more than 1,000 people.
The love affair between the prince and the princess may not be a match made in heaven between the golden boy and the girl, but it may be the story of the domineering president falling in love with the innocent village girl between the children of the family and the village flower...... What you want is not luxury, but simplicity and kindness!
In fact, looking at the whole world, the last thing a Chinese should do is to question why other countries are like that? Why is it so different from us?
I'm sorry, but what you need to know is that China is so special, and it's strange what you're used to! That kind of situation may be the norm in the world, no way, we are so special!
Liu Chun was very interested in the miniature country where the princess was born, and after a few simple questions, it was determined that the princess's hometown should be France, at least a piece of land within the French territory in the future.
If you ask carefully, Her Royal Highness the princess can't figure it out.
There is no way, who made it a critical period of the Hundred Years War between Britain and France at this moment, and the European continent was a mess, all of which were in a mess, not to mention that outsiders were confused, and even the people in it were not clear.
However, Her Royal Highness also mentioned a very important thing, that is, the rise of Ottoman Turkey, they gradually monopolized the trade routes between the East and the West, in order to obtain goods from the East, in order to resist the Turkish attack on Europe, many European countries, sent troops, rescued Constantinople, and protected the Byzantine Empire.
The princess's father was the little lord who led the army, and he took a total of 30 knights and threw himself into the battle against Turkey.
As a result, tens of thousands of people, including his thirty men, were captured by the Turks.
Turkey demanded a huge ransom from various European countries and rescued 300 noble generals, while the rest were all killed. The princess's father and two brothers disappeared.
It is also unknown whether they broke up, or were killed, in short, lost a trace.
"She pretended to be a businessman and came to Turkey in search of her father...... That's how we met. Chang Mao said very simply, obviously, the princess is at most in her early teens, he is in his fifties, and it is clear that the old cow eats tender grass, there are too many indescribable stories in it, Liu Chun is too lazy to inquire, and Lan Yu is also reluctant to ask more.
One thing is certain, though, that to the west of Turkey, there are many other countries that are actively using troops to the east. For hundreds of years, there have been many losses and few victories, but they are still persevering and very tenacious.
"Liu Chun, do you know what's going on?" Lan Yu said curiously, he was also confused, this kind of thing should be asked to Chang Mao, didn't he just come back!
It's just that in Liu Chun's heart, there is really an answer.
The European countries continued to use troops to the east, the purpose of which was nothing more than to master the trade routes and reduce the loss of gold and silver.
Of course, if you ask the person concerned, most of them will say what gods, honor, hatred...... Anyway, there is a lot of mess, and if you simply believe these conclusions, you will definitely get farther and farther away from the truth.
For 200 consecutive years, Europe has sent troops on a large scale nine times, losing more and winning less, and it is embarrassing...... Moreover, the Mongols' westward expedition gave a strong impact on Europe, so that they temporarily stopped.
However, as the Mongols waned, Turkey rose, and Europe recovered, the two sides began to fight again.
This time the focus is on Constantinople!
Liu Chun quickly sorted out the causes and consequences of the matter, and suddenly found that there seemed to be an opportunity to meddle in the West.
He took Lan Yu and Chang Mao aside.
"I said Zheng Guogong, your lady wants to find her father, and our Daming can help."
"What?" Chang Mao was shocked, "Really?" ”
"It's still fake!" Liu Chun snorted: "Besides, you didn't promise her?" Otherwise, how could people give birth to children for you, and you traveled thousands of miles to Daming? Don't tell me, your old man has Zhang Sheng's ability, and he can attract Cui Yingying to take the initiative to send it to the door. ”
Chang Mao rolled his eyelids and said viciously: "You are all too masters, why are you still talking so ruthlessly?" ”
No need to ask, Liu Chun got to the point.
"Zheng Guogong, don't turn your face, okay? I want you to be a strange man who is affectionate, righteous, and gracious! Don't you know the hearts of good people? ”
Chang Mao groaned: "You tell me the point, I don't listen to fools." ”
"The point is that I intend to send troops and horses to your wife, provide warships, and help her return to the country, show her skills, gain power, and find her father...... Even if I can't find her, I'm willing to support her to become a real princess...... Uh, no, it's the Empress! Great Empress! ”
"Stop!"
Seeing that Liu Chun was more and more unreliable, Chang Mao couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Liu Chun, it's already very good that we can take down Harry, you still plan to get involved in the Far West, what do you think again? Are you looking for your own master? That divine doctor named Ling Ran? ”
Chang Mao could only think of such an explanation.
Liu Chun simply threw him aside, don't bother to foam.
"Father-in-law, don't look at the far west is very far away, but by sea, it's not like there is no hope. And once it can trade directly with the West, it can get rid of Haret, Turkey and other countries in the middle...... The countries of Europe did not hesitate to wage wars and fought for hundreds of years, in order to control the trade routes in their own hands? Why don't we take the initiative and control the trade routes first? Now Daming is ready for everything, only the east wind is owed. ”
Lan Yu pressed his knees with his hands, listened carefully to Liu Chun's words, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and in the end, he actually laughed loudly, leaning back and laughing.
"Good, great! Your kid's vision has never been said. But have you thought about it, even if we have to send troops, we don't have so many troops! ”
Liu Chun said with a smile: "So this princess is very important, we just need to use her identity to give her the privilege of trade and trade." Relying on this, she will be able to gather a large group of people, control her, and control the whole of Europe, she is our pawn against the Far West! ”
Lan Yu stroked his palms and laughed, nodding frequently.
Chang Mao rolled his eyes angrily, that's my daughter-in-law, you can't be so unscrupulous!
Obviously, neither Lan Yu nor Liu Chun would care about his opinion.
Lan Yu quickly drew up a strategy, isn't this just the right thing to reorganize the army, Da Ming has nothing else, extra ordnance, and the number of people facing retrenchment is too many to count.
"Madame, please, the master specially instructed me to take you to see Daming's weapons warehouse."
Her Royal Highness, a princess from a foreign land, has been new since she arrived in the Ming Dynasty. The people here look different from Europe, and there is a "big" word everywhere!
The country is big, the city is big, and the mansion is big...... Not surprisingly, this arsenal is just as huge. Houses are stretched out one after another, and this storehouse, my God, alone is more than all the buildings in my own country combined.
Casually walk into a door, and the ground is piled with various weapons.
Swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows, and armor!
That's right, it's armor!
How much is that?
I can't count them.
Her Royal Highness the princess was in the pile of weapons, shuttling back and forth, excited to the point of madness.
His father, as a minor lord, had thirty knights, but only seven pairs of armor were completed, and the rest were patchwork.
For a knight, horses and armor are all they possess. A pair of armor is not only used by one person, but also passed on to future generations, as the most important wealth of a family, passed down from generation to generation.
In Europe, the armor that is regarded as the root of life is discarded at will, and if it is slightly damaged, it is treated like garbage and piled up into a hill.
There is no way, the military reform of the Ming Dynasty, the comprehensive promotion of firearms, and the heavy armor are facing the fate of elimination, to put it bluntly, this is some garbage.
But in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, all of them are precious, full of treasures!
"Honorable Duke...... Let me look at all this, is it to show how powerful your country is? The princess said from the bottom of her heart: "I have learned the strength and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, in Europe, no country can come up with so many weapons, your strength is simply beyond my imagination." ”
Chang Mao smiled on his face, "That...... Yes, you mean it, but more than that...... Planning to lend you weapons? ”
"Oh my God!"
The princess screamed, she rushed over excitedly, hugged Chang Mao, and said in disbelief: "Lend it to me?" Did you hear that right? Is Da Ming really going to do this? You guys are angels of generosity, I'm so excited! ”
The princess's eyes shone with a blazing light, undisguised.
Chang Mao is indeed not young anymore, and he is not so romantic and interesting...... But what does it matter?
He was powerful, rich, and unmatched.
He can provide a mountain of weapons, and there will be no such generous person in all of Europe.
Her Royal Highness was shrouded in happiness, and she was full of enthusiasm, like a lit lamp, shining all over her body. Chang Mao shuddered suddenly, he really wanted to stay and discuss something with Liu Chun and Lan Yu.
Who knew that Liu Chun actually said: "Zheng Guogong, you better go back to the house first, tomorrow Your Majesty will set up a banquet for you." You teach Madame some etiquette first, very big etiquette. Liu Chun said, blinking.
Lan Yu also said: "Yes, you better hurry down!" ”
Chang Mao held his old waist and left pitifully......
Lan Yu didn't feel sorry for her nephew at all, this was called self-inflicted.
The only thing he was worried about was whether this exotic princess could make it happen?
"I think it will work."
"Why?"
"Because her country is a strange place, and wars can only be won under the rule of women and foreigners."
"So what?" Sapphire asked.
Liu Chun said as a matter of course: "We are outsiders, she is a woman, double insurance, there is no reason to win!" ”
