Postscript 4
The rise in the strength of the countries of the One God has not changed their own situation in the slightest. Because at the same time as their strength is growing, their enemies, the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions, are also growing in their respective national and military strengths, and they are growing rapidly.
Because compared to the monotheistic world that was faintly confined by wreaths, the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions could be seamlessly linked to Middle-earth. It is completely free to communicate with each other, which has brought great impetus to the seven countries in the west and promoted the rapid development of all countries!
Although they are thousands of miles away, some of the specialties in the Seven Kingdoms of the West have become uncompetitive after going to the Central Plains. For example, refined copper, in the face of competition between Japan and Xinfu copper, the ultra-high transportation cost makes them vulnerable.
And grain, animal husbandry, leather and the like are not to mention. The descendants of the Seven Feudatories who were sealed to the west had a headache when they thought about this question. In the face of the Central Plains, they found that in their huge country, they were unable to find a single cargo that they could handle?
Even the Central Plains opened the door to them, sending a group of craftsmen who fired porcelain, as well as the cultivation of tea and silkworms, but none of them succeeded. Whether it is tea or silkworms, it is difficult to plant in the northern region, and it is the southernmost geographical capital of Anguo, which can raise silkworms and plant mulberry tea, but the quality and yield are not so satisfactory.
And the Nordic countries like Wu and Mu can't even grow.
The same is true for porcelain, ordinary porcelain can be burned, but kaolin can not be found in various countries, and the high-grade white porcelain is still not available. It is equivalent to missing the most dazzling pearl. Since the founding of the Seven Kingdoms, they still have to import high-grade porcelain from China every year.
It's not that they can also export to the world of one god to earn the difference, and even ship ships to the east and west coasts of Africa, and exchange a lot of wealth and profit from the hands of Hei Shuli, and after one or two hundred years, these vassal states must also have a headache due to the difference in trade between the east and the west.

Therefore, the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions do not need to join forces with their allies in the Celestial World to suppress the Monotheistic Countries, and only with the strength of the Seven Kingdoms themselves, they can suppress the Monotheistic Nations.
It's not like a fortress that can only be built by a single god. Even if the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions built their own fortresses, no matter how you look at it, they are not guarding against the world of one god.
Besides, natural saltpeter mines are not found in Europe, especially in Western Europe. Britain and France, Shinra, Italy and other countries, if they want to get nitrate, they can only go to toilets, pigsties and other filthy places to get soil and cook nitrate. The latter is used as a military material, and Lu Qi has always been strictly controlled by the monotheistic countries. However, the seven countries in the west can obtain high-quality saltpeter mines from Tianzhu without restrictions. Not to mention the national strength and the backers behind him, just talking about the durability of the war, it is better than the one god and one country.
As far as the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions are concerned, they have perfectly achieved the original purpose of Lu Qian's establishment of them - to suppress the One God!
At that time, a hundred years passed in a hurry, and in the original time and space, this point in time was the time when the Black Death in Europe was in full swing, and the sickle of death enveloped the whole of Europe, brushing and brushing, and a third of the European people died because of it. But at this juncture, where is the Black Death still in Europe?
Whether it is personal cleanliness and hygiene, or the cleanliness of the streets and cities, today's monotheistic world is really better than the same period in history.
The breaking of faith in the divine light, as well as the exchange between East and West, made Europeans completely abandon the habits they had existed. Not to mention personal and urban hygiene, even the clothing and food have been Orientalized. So, how can the people of the entire monotheistic world not take a bath several times in their lives, and let the city let sewage and feces and urine flow sideways, and garbage is piled up?
Without this external environment, the Black Death was born without a breeding ground.
Coupled with the stable social environment, there has been no war for many years. Determined by the internal and external environment!
The rapid development of agriculture has led to the rapid growth of populations in Western Europe, and this potential point is that there is no shortage of food, otherwise how could people still have children? There is no shortage of food in the countries of one god, so they will not catch all the cats and dogs to eat, and because of the exchanges between the East and the West, the identity and status of cats have changed a lot compared with the same period in history......
In short, the Black Death at the same time in the original time and space was completely butterflyed in the current time and space.
However, the monotheistic world that escaped the catastrophe also had gains and losses, and the gains were naturally very lucky, the Black Death cut off one-third of the population of Europe, but what was lost was the 'peace' heart of the Europeans.
The growth of strength has made public opinion in the monotheistic world boil, and the magnates of various countries have also swelled a little.
As in the original time and space, the invasion of foreign colonizers has led to a surge of nationalism in the victim countries, and the same is true in Europe.
The humiliation suffered under Lu Qian, the invasion of the yellow race that was very different from that of the white race, all made the natives of the One God World feel a wave of anger from the bottom of their hearts!
Just like the Western colonizers in history who acted recklessly in China, Lu Qian returned the unequal treaties signed by the decaying Manchu Qing Dynasty.
What extraterritoriality, what consulates, as well as suzerainty and triennial tribute, the right to spread faith, and unilateral most-favored-nation treatment, Lu Qi warships can sail in the waters of various countries at will, enter ports and stop, and even the right to formulate relevant customs duties.
Everything made the countries of the One God have a heartfelt hostility and anger towards the Central Plains. Just like the Chinese people in history are afraid of foreign devils, but isn't that fear a kind of hatred that goes deep into the bones?
The only difference is that historical China is far more tragic than the monotheistic world of this era.
The technology of the 19th century has greatly shortened the 'distance' between East and West, but this is not the case today.
By the time the 19th century reached the bottom half of the page, the telegraph was enough for one regime to control the whole world, which naturally greatly constrained China. If you want to resist, you will face the backlash of the colonizers all the time! But in this era, Lu Qi once conquered the whole world, but he had to let it go again.
The existence of the imperial barrier made the Central Plains completely uncontrollable over the situation thousands of miles away. It was necessary to divide the feudal states, and the suppression of the monotheistic world was far from being as sharp as that of Britain and France at the time of China's century-old humiliation.
In general, because the distance between the two sides is so far away - regardless of whether the Suez Canal has been opened or not, few Chinese merchants have really crossed thousands of miles across the ocean to come to the world of gods.
At least that number is much smaller than the Europeans of the original plane.
Don't forget that China in this time and space also has Nanyang, Tianzhu and the very beautiful Americas, and the merchants from the west have been largely cut off by Anguo, the Celestial World and the Ethiopians. Don't look at Lu Qian's ruthlessness, in fact, it doesn't hurt much to the world of one god.
On the contrary, it made them feel the 'shame' up close!
In this way, after 200 years of inheritance of the Lu Qi Dynasty, the flames of war in Europe were ignited, and no one could extinguish them.
On the one hand, there are the seven powerful western kingdoms, the backers behind them are higher than the Himalayas, and on the other hand, there is a monotheistic world with a population of hundreds of millions.
In the current world of muskets and artillery, population means war potential. The fortresses are even more of a headache. This fight on both sides really won't end in a while.
And the war spread from land to sea, and finally even from the Mediterranean to the long western coastline of Africa.
As an important part of the war, the fortress became famous all over the world for its real 'achievements' for the first time.
It is no longer a bug in military exercises, but a real bug!
In the second month of the war, the Seven-Nation Coalition on the side of Daiguo [Poland] had thwarted the major offensive launched by the Ichijin Army against Daikoku.
The fortress's superior defense has been tested in actual combat.
The Seven-Nation Alliance has also experienced a huge turning point from defense to offense, and the government and the opposition are full of confidence, as if the fortresses in the enemy's territory do not exist, and many people think that they will soon be able to quell the 'rebellion' of the one-god world. Then, the 1st Army of the Northern Front, consisting of 50,000 Dai troops and 30,000 Wu troops, suffered a crushing defeat under the city of Berlin.
Entering the territory of the HRE, they only besieged the fortress without attacking it, and then quickly pushed the battle under the city of Berlin.
From September to late November, more than two months of siege, the most tense time, the First Army of the Northern Front fired more than 30,000 shells in one day, bombarding more than 50 meters of city walls, but the fortress defense line behind it was still intact.
In the past two months, the coalition forces have carried out several strong attacks and night attacks on it with heavy casualties, all of which have failed.
The weather was also getting colder and snowing, and with reinforcements from the HRE army gathering momentum not far away, the siege could only end.
After the battle, taking stock of the losses of both the enemy and us, the attackers suffered far more casualties than the defenders. It was a blow to the coalition forces that were in their prime.
Half a year after the war went on, a large-scale naval battle was completely launched. Whether it's the Mediterranean or the North Sea, or even the seas west of the Iberian Peninsula.
The war that broke out on the Western Continent made up for the gap between the Seven Western Kingdoms and the Central Plains in time!
The super defensive effect of the fortress has made the war fall into a boring situation, the strategic thinking is exhausted, and no matter how good the military strategy is, it cannot offset the force of the fortress, so the war is constantly repeating itself.
And the best way to 'crack' the fortress is not to conquer the fortress in front of you, but to seal it off completely. This requires a significant number of soldiers.
The armies of both sides continued to grow in size.
As mentioned earlier, the development and use of firearms gradually led the knight class to withdraw from the dominance of the army.
The role of the aristocracy in the military field began to change, from providing a knightly corps to the commander of the national army. If a young nobleman of the new era wants to develop in the military world, he will no longer bring his own armor weapons and war horses to fight as a knight, but start from the official position of carrying the military flag in the army, and be promoted and promoted according to seniority and performance.
The decline of the knightly class and the rise of the infantry also caused more civilians to be involved in the war. Not to mention the artillery, the manufacture and cost of the musket are much simpler and cheaper than the heavy armor of the knights of the past. With the same amount of money, the state can recruit, equip and train a larger number of soldiers.
Coupled with the centralization of power, the power in the hands of the king was greatly increased, and the armed forces of the whole country were many times larger than they were back then.
However, although the strength of the monotheistic countries has greatly increased, and the rapid increase in population has greatly increased their war potential, these have nothing to do with money, or cannot form a qualitative change in finance.
To fight a war is to fight money.
When the war is going on, when the size of the armies of various countries is increasing, but it is not a monotheistic world of global hegemonic colonial powers, then it is a wax ride.
It doesn't take many people to defend a fortress, but it takes a lot of soldiers, at least far more than the defenders, to trap a fortress, which makes the size of the armies on both sides have to increase.
However, the seven kingdoms in the west have backers behind them, but there is no gold lord in the countries of one god.
They can control and mobilize a larger army, but they cannot pay and supply the soldiers, and after years of war have drained the last penny of the treasury of the monotheistic nations, the defeat of the monotheistic world is inevitable.
To cross the threshold, it is necessary to bring about important changes in the financial and administrative resources of the monotheistic nations.
