Chapter 38 The Origin of the Great Qian

Soon an armistice was reached, and King Wilhelm left the front and returned to Berlin as "the first Prussian to withdraw from French territory." The new French Prime Minister Thiers believes that the war is almost over. He was now thinking about the most reasonable terms of peace. The French also played another trick to increase the pressure on Bismarck. Within forty-eight hours, the Government of Paris published a detailed report on all of Thiers' conversations with Bismarck. In this way, Europe understood the terms of peace proposed by Prussia. The tone of voice abroad changed, and the attitude towards Prussia became tougher.

The twin defeats of war and diplomacy led to a sharp rise in Prussian distrust of Bismarck. Bismarck had been overworked since he entered 9071, and he was disturbed not only by the situation at home, but also by the situation in Europe in general. On April 6, Tsar Alexander II of Russia publicly declared that Russia considered the provisions of the Paris Agreement of 9056 to provide for neutrality in the Black Sea region to be invalid. Bismarck's statement was understandable, but it took place at a time when it was not in Prussia's favor. The British reacted hostilely to Russia's contempt for a valid treaty. In addition, Bismarck was very concerned that the Franco-Prussian conflict could develop into a war between the European powers.

Bismarck was even more anxious to end the war with France. After the capture of Hamburg by the French, patriotic sentiment rose throughout Germany, including the southern German states. Even in Bavaria, where independence was at its strongest, Ludwig II recognized the need for his state to join in the unification of Germany, although he did not like the established North German Confederation.

A formal armistice was soon reached, according to which both sides withdrew their troops from each other's territory and released the prisoners. The Prussian army was the first to begin withdrawing from the Chalond front, followed by the French, and a month later, the Prussian army withdrew all of its troops into the country, and the French army regained all the occupied territories.

In Prussia, after receiving the order to withdraw and return home, Guba also began to reorganize his military horses and return to China. Just as the Prussians had taken a large amount of supplies when they retreated from France, the French army swept away all the valuable things they could take with them in the occupied territories.

After the withdrawal of the Prussian troops from France, the two sides continued to negotiate, this time in Metz. After months of repeated bargaining between France and Prussia, peace was finally reached through British mediation. On May 28, 9071, the two sides signed a peace treaty, known as the Treaty of Metz.

The main contents of the "Treaty of Metz" were: France and Prussia kept the boundaries before the war in 9070 unchanged, the two sides did not make any economic compensation to the other side, Prussia promised not to participate in the question of the succession to the Spanish throne, France promised not to make any territorial and throne claims to Belgium, and did not interfere with the accession of the four southern German states to the North German Union. The newly formed United States of Germany, which France will pledge to recognize, "a complete peace between the two countries, no longer hostile to each other." ”

With the signing of the Treaty of Metz, the Franco-Prussian War officially ended, and the European continent ushered in a new historical era.

The Franco-Prussian War broke the relatively stable balance of power in Europe and changed the balance of power among the European powers, thus exacerbating the contradictions between the powers and prompting them to readjust their relations with each other.

Different from the history that Lin Yiqing originally knew, the main result of this different Franco-Prussian War was that the original hegemony of the European continent, France, and the emerging military power Prussia were weakened to varying degrees, and it can be said that both sides were defeated, Prussia did not achieve the goal of immediately unifying Germany through this war, and this war intensified the mutual hostility between France and Prussia, and a dangerous source of war appeared in the center of Europe.

After reading the serials in the newspaper, Lin Yiqing understood what Lin Yizhe's purpose was in doing this.

Only when the European powers are busy with infighting will they not have too much energy to throw too much energy into the east, and the cadres will not only have an environment for peaceful development, but will also be able to take advantage of the contradictions between the European powers to strive for favorable conditions for their own development.

Thinking of Lin Yizhe's far-reaching layout and good intentions, Lin Yiqing sighed with emotion.

As a traverser, Lin Yizhe can already be said to be quite successful, but he still died young under the attack of conservative and stubborn forces!

Thinking of the stupidity of the conservative and stubborn forces in China's modern history, Lin Yiqing was indignant in his heart.

At this time, Lin Yiqing had already made up his mind to continue along the path opened up by Lin Yizhe!

After understanding the situation in the Western world in general, Lin Yizhe's eyes returned to the Eastern world.

Judging from the newspapers, apart from the fact that China has now become a dry country, the situation in Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam is basically not much different from its original historical time and space.

Lin Yiqing wanted to know about the situation in Qianguo, so he began to search carefully in the newspapers again, and soon, he found an exploratory article in a Japanese newspaper about the throne of the emperor of Qianguo, which briefly introduced the situation of the imperial family of Qianguo.

According to this article, there are a number of ethnic minorities living in the north between the white mountains and black waters, collectively known as the "Beidi", and they are completely different from the "Central Plains people" and "Nanren" who live in the Central Plains and the southern regions. This is the fatal wound of all ethnic groups in the Central Plains, and generations of famous generals know how important "speed" is to the success or failure of a war. The tribes of the Central Plains hoped for a strong cavalry, because the cavalry tradition must have originated from the experience of living in a herd of horses all their lives, and the Central Plains did not have such an environment.

During the Min Dynasty, the Beidi tribes often invaded the south and took the young people of the Central Plains back to their tribes as slaves. The captive children were forced to cut off their hair and tattoo their characters, and braved the wind and snow to herd horses and sheep between the white mountains and black waters, and were called "孛zhinuo", which means "herding dogs". They lived a life in the wilderness that was far more difficult than that of the herdsmen, the weak froze to death, only the strong survived, the girls among them could only marry Pozhino, but they had to give their first time to their masters before they were married, and the boys were used as flesh and blood chariots in the war, and when they finished charging, the dead and wounded, the Beidi cavalry let their horses charge.

In this way, three hundred years later, the population of Pozhino has reached tens of thousands. Their masters did not know that these herding dogs had always buried their desire for revenge and return home deep in their hearts.

Dogs also have teeth, and they are sharpening these teeth until they sharpen themselves into real tigers!
