Postscript 5
In this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies between nations, but only eternal interests!
No matter how close the relationship is, it can't withstand the passage of time.
The counterattack of the One God World brought the relationship between the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Central Plains closer again, and the gap formed in the past two hundred years was bridged. But what about after the end of the war? It's business as usual.
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 this moment, Lu Qi, who has been focusing more on the development of the Americas, obviously does not see much of the interests of the Far West. Only half of Europe is left in the monotheistic world, and even though the population is hundreds of millions, the distance is too far away, but it does not provide too many benefits for Lu Qi.
In other words, as the ruler of the world, the Lu Qi Empire has too many interests involved, and the proportion of the monotheistic world in it is too small and too small.
As small as Lu Qi, the central government was even willing to teach the world of one god to the seven kingdoms of the west.
It is only because they are more willing to devote their limited energy to the large-scale development of the Americas. If you don't invest in Tianzhu, you will invest in Australia, the South Seas, and even the Celestial World and the east coast of Africa, and the interests of these options will be greater than those of the Monotheistic World at the westernmost end of the continent.
This is a multiple-choice question that is easy to make a choice, and Lu Qi just loses a choice with the least benefits. Moreover, dividing these benefits among the seven countries in the west may be considered a good strategy to unite allies in the Lu Qi court.
After all, the Americas of 200 years will be very different from the Americas of 200 years ago. At that point in time, the interests of the Americas completely involved the attention of the Central Plains, and the monotheistic world could not be compared with the Americas at all.
If the world of one god can be exchanged for concessions from the seven countries in the Americas, it will undoubtedly make a lot of money.
- Back then, Lu Qi left the Americas to his descendants, which was originally reserved only for the royal family, and later added the vassal clan, but he must also be the best of the latter's generation.
This limited the number of feudal states in the Americas to a certain extent, but after two hundred years, no matter how much the restriction was filled, it would have been filled long ago. The Americas have long passed the era of horse racing.
In the eyes of the upper-level bigwigs of the Central Plains court, this is undoubtedly a wise strategic choice.
But its effect was a protracted war that lasted for three decades in the European world.
When the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions keenly discovered that the Central Plains didn't care about the interests of the One God World, what would they do? scolded the last sentence: The full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, and then he pounces on it.
Compared with the concessions in the Americas, the Monotheistic world that is close at hand is more important.
The countries of the HRE, France, Italy, England, Scotland, and Aragon are hundreds of millions of people, and they occupy a favorable terrain - not westward into the Americas, but south against the west coast of Africa, and the seven western kingdoms dream of devouring them.
Moreover, the Seven Kingdoms still have the Celestial World as allies, and after the One God World was ruthlessly cleaned up by Lu Qian, until the war resumed, there would be no large-scale war in the entire European region. But in the Iberian Peninsula specifically, skirmishes continued for almost a hundred years.
Until the combined forces of the two countries of Castile and Aragon, which achieved a decisive victory against the Moors at Las Navas de Tolosa; After that, it recovered the cities of Córdoba, Seville, Jerez, and Cádiz, destroyed the Moorish kingdom of Granada, and completely expelled the Celestial Sect from the Iberian Peninsula.
This is much earlier than the same scene in history, and it also caused the Heavenly World to suffer a lot. Compared with the same period in history, the territory of the latter is also in a state of serious shrinkage. The Heavenly Sect did not dare to touch Lu Qi's bad head, and returned to the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Persian Plateau, so it could only turn around and enter Africa, competing with the Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity for Heishuli.
The battle between the two has been won and lost, but generally speaking, it is also an indisputable fact that the Heavenly Sect has penetrated south of the Great Desert of North Africa. Especially on the west coast of Africa, Ethiopia is in the east.
Now, it has joined forces with the Seven Nations, with one goal of regaining the Iberian Peninsula to protect their interests on the west coast of Africa. The Seven Nations join forces with it, and that is a combination of two benefits, each with its own needs!
Thus, this war was fought for thirty years. Known in history as the "Thirty Years' War"!
The two sides did not know how many people had been lost, and they fought each other, which brought huge human, material and economic losses to both sides.
Just because the Seven Kingdoms have sufficient support, whether it is the Central Plains or other vassal states, they do not send people to participate in the war, but they can at least borrow money and loans from the Seven Kingdoms.
As long as they can take the world of one god and have the rich west coast of Africa as their backing, how much money can't they repay?
And as it turned out, that's exactly how things went. After winning the world of one god, although the vitality of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Regions was greatly damaged, after fifty years, after recuperation, not only did they regain their strength, but their national strength also went further.
Because they don't have an enemy!
Whether it was the feudal kingdom behind them or the nearby heavenly world, none of them dared to stretch out their fangs to them. This gives them a completely safe environment and plenty of time to recover.
The huge HRE Empire fell apart, France and Italy also became fragmented, and the British Isles were already fragmented, and the end result was that the entire monotheistic world was shattered into small stones, and many of the 'national' regimes were controlled by the Seven Kingdoms. To this end, the Seven Kingdoms set up dozens of consulates in the monotheistic world, and even cut concessions in the major cities of each country.
Lu Qian never imagined that the Europe he never forgot, the monotheistic world that he had been hanging on to his heart until his death, would be solved like this.
Monotheism has not been severed, and Europe has not been completely rendered by yellow, but the monotheistic world is no longer a threat to Chinese civilization.
Even if they started a great voyage in the original time and space, even if in the next hundred years, the merchant ships that set off from Europe went south to South Africa and westward to the Americas, but the dominant position was the power of the seven countries such as Wu and Dai, not the natives of Europa.
- The latter became a pack of hyenas that followed the lion's ass and ate carrion.
It's just that as the Central Plains no longer sends immigrants to the seven countries in the west, with the great development of North and South America, and with the development and growth of feudal states in the Americas, competition and competition, the causes and effects and interests involved behind it have become more and more.
You must know that the Americas are not the confinement of the royal family of the Central Plains, and in a long time, I don't know how many royal families and clan descendants have arrived in the Americas, established gathering points, established immigrant cities, and established countries that belong to them.
When the monotheistic world launched a counterattack, in fact, the Americas were already filled with all that time. There is no way to take out the fiefdom from the Americas. The entire 200-year-long "Great Partition of the Americas" has come to an end. But this does not mean that the dense feudal states 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 as those historians have said, the emergence of imperial hegemony has an undeniable inevitability, but also a certain degree of chance, except for the Lu Qi Empire, in fact, no hegemonic country has a far-sighted plan, and for a long time, can be firmly implemented. Whether in the East or in the West, the hegemony of empires often comes naturally in the pursuit of its own absolute security and peace, and in dealing with military threats in its neighborhood.
This is how the local conflicts and wars in the Americas have come about.
Any feudal country can feel a strong threat in the process of development, so it is inevitable to eliminate the threat.
And when the strength of the feudal countries in the Americas has grown to a certain extent, external expansion has become an inevitability!
But as the leader of the Lu clan countries in the world, the Central Plains must not be happy to see his junior brothers have infighting. So what will they do? When the feudal states in the Americas were not so dense, there was still room for adjusting the contradictions, but when the feudal states rose up in the north and south of the Americas, all they could do was suppress.
It's like a levee blocking water. Although everyone knows that blocking is not as good as sparse, but the general trend is like this, blocking has become inevitable.
Such a pile of pieces will inevitably be piled together, and once it breaks out, it will be a great war that will affect the whole of America. Because the lords of each feudal country have distant or close connections, they have stood in line and formed teams in the middle of two hundred years, and at this time, the majesty of the emperor of the Central Plains is also in vain.
If it is an ordinary skirmish, or a local war, this kind of fighting is not terrible.
But at the moment, this kind of big war involves all aspects. Because there are 'backers' behind the feudal country, when the war in the Americas brought about the relationship between the Lu countries, Lu Qian laid down a huge country, carefully and carefully arranged his sons, and finally cast the Lu family's country, only to collapse.
……
Twenty-five years in the beginning. The First World War is now in its seventh year. Jinling City is in a storm!
The fifty-two-year-old Emperor Taichu, seven years ago, in order to prevent the Cao State in southeastern North America from annexing the Teng State due north, resolutely issued a warning order to the contemporary Cao King, and after the Cao King ignored the warning and brazenly destroyed the Teng State, he raised an army of 200,000 by sea and land, and joined Jiang Guo, Pu Guo and other loyal younger brothers to launch a war of annihilation against Cao.
When it comes to wars in the Americas, this is never straightforward.
The spark ignited by the Primal Emperor eventually detonated the entire world. One by one, the Lu clan vassal states and feudal states were involved in the whirlpool of war, even including the subject states of Lu Qi.
The whole world resounded with the sound of guns, and the suzerainty system that the Lu kingdoms had relied on to rule and suppress the world for 500 years was wiped out in the war.
However, this was not unexpected by Emperor Taichu, as early as a few decades ago, after the outbreak of the American War, the suzerainty system dominated by the Lu kingdoms existed in name only.
The Central Plains Empire has been working hard for decades to restore the old system of suzerainty and vassalage, and at the same time, three generations of emperors have continued to do so.
Because when words can't move someone, they can only use force!
Emperor Taichu had confidence in his own power, and he believed that he could win this war that would affect the whole world and restore the supreme majesty of the empire!
However, the appearance of two people has caused his plans to suffer a heavy blow!
One is Qi Jiguang, the marshal of the Luo Army, who is known as the first general of the Western Continent, and the other is Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of Cao State.
No, the day before yesterday came the news that the Imperial Army had suffered a great defeat in the Aral Sea, losing nearly 100,000 troops. The Western Continent Coalition has approached the Jade Dragon [Jade Dragon Chijie] of the Peng Kingdom. King Peng [Flower Thorn Zimo] sent a book to Jinling for help.
And because of the successive defeats of the imperial army, King Yong and King Jing in the north are ready to move.
Although the coalition forces have not yet pushed back to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, in the past seven years, the Anxi Metropolitan Protector of the Taichu Emperor has killed one person and replaced three people.
"Your Majesty......"
The secretary and the secretary came to report, but the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the secretary of ordnance had already arrived.
"Announce their audience!"
Emperor Taichu held a very old box in his hand.
Inside the box is a well-preserved copper coupon, as well as a warhead with a strange style.
"Your Majesty's divine machine, the ministers and other five bodies are thrown to the ground!"
"You should be careful to keep it secret. Go ahead! The army fights, and this sharp weapon is needed. ”
Emperor Taichu waved his hand, not taking the compliments of his courtiers to heart.
After the two retreated, Emperor Taichu sat quietly in the Xuande Pavilion for a while, and then went to the Fengxian Hall instead.
Fengxian Hall is not Fengtian Palace, the place where sacrifices are held in the palace here, the front hall enshrines the ranks and portraits of the previous emperors, and the apse enshrines the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the First Mother of the Lu Qi Empire.
Emperor Taichu knelt down in front of the portrait of Lu Traverser Qian, the founder of the Lu family, and for this ancestor more than 500 years ago, what he admired was really the five-body throw.
I won't talk about some of the 'wills' of this old ancestor in politics, but in martial arts and military affairs, he really deserves to be the ancestor who invented guns, and he really deserves to be the master of the mandate of heaven who has to uphold the will of heaven.
Some of the things that Lu Qian did at the beginning have already become legends more than 500 years later. Gradually, it was like Liu San, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, "when you taste Daze, you will meet with God in your dreams." When the thunder and lightning were obscure, the prince looked at it, and saw the dragon on it. has a body, and then gave birth to Gaozu", and Yang Jian's "born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple, purple gas fills the court, long horns on the head, and scales all over the body", and Tang Taizong Li Er's "There are two dragons playing outside the door of the museum, and three days away", and Song Taizu Zhao Boss's "red light surrounds the room, and the fragrance does not disperse." The body is golden, and it will not change for three days". It's becoming less credible.
However, in the Lu royal family, every emperor who inherited the throne and saw the last inheritance left by his ancestor was a hundred who believed that those visions were true.
Only the Lord of Destiny can explain what they see......
Emperor Taichu is a person who firmly believes that his ancestor is the true master of the destiny of heaven, otherwise how can today, five hundred years later, today's descendants still rely on his old man's invention to defend this huge country?
Although Emperor Taichu didn't understand why the ancestor would name that kind of gun and bullet 'Minni', it was a very strange name, wasn't it?
