Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 597 What kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp are these!
Anna said with a melancholy expression: "As I said earlier, before his death, Theodosius I divided the Roman Empire into two and gave it to his two sons. Since then, the Roman Empire has been divided into two."

"Our Eastern Roman Empire is Pulan in your Song population."

"In an extremely backward and ignorant country, the emperors followed the ancient etiquette, and the elders of the elders' house were no longer synonymous with wisdom. Blood and violence enveloped the entire Roman Empire. It was extremely poor, but wanted to maintain its nobility. .”

"You know, it's hard, just like I am now, very embarrassed."

Anna looked a little lonely. In fact, her life in the Song Dynasty was far better than that in the Roman Empire.

Now she only needs to be obsessed with her studies, and she doesn't have to worry about the rest.

During the half-year in Kreb, she translated several works on mathematics, which were extremely popular, and she didn't have to worry about her own finances.

"Everything will be fine." Li Qingzhao said with a smile.

She wrote down her notes. The eldest princess of an empire is extremely disappointed with her country, which shows that it is indeed so bad that no one in her own country can recognize it.

Anna's expression was still disappointed, and she said quietly: "The Roman Empire had to close its defenses in the face of the Normans in the west, the Sogdians in the east, and the big cannibals. The Asia Minor Islands fell, and the Normans When he came to Byzantium, he insulted Michael VII as a barbarian chief."

"Nikephoros III was a nobleman. After he defeated the Asia Minor Islands, he returned to Byzantium and forced Michael VII to abdicate. He proclaimed himself emperor."

"My father, Alexei Komnenos, was originally a general of Nikephoros III. Then my father launched a rebellion. 47 years ago, he invaded Byzantium and proclaimed himself emperor."

"No matter how great he is, he still bears the title of Kingslayer."

"He defeated the attack of the Normans led by Robert Guiscard in the west, and after giving the Venetian merchants enough trade privileges, he got the help of the Venetian navy to block the supply routes of the Normans, and finally defeated the Normans. people. Pacified the frontiers of the West."

"And the Principality of Sultan Roma of the Seljuk Empire in the east, which is what you call the Turks. It has been invading the territory of the empire."

"My God, you don't even know how barbaric and powerful those Turkic people are!"

"After they were defeated by your Tang Dynasty, they fled to the west, defeated the Persians and the Great Food Kingdom successively, and established the huge Seljuk Empire! I don't know how your Emperor Tang defeated such a powerful Turkic people of."

Li Qingzhao wrote a lot of notes in her notebook, she needs to understand this country.

The emperor of Song Dynasty is preparing to send an envoy to Qin Dynasty. There are too many uncertainties when going to the west. She needs to provide enough advice to that naughty son.

However, he quickly clarified the contribution made by Anna's father and the dilemma he faced.

Kingslayer, this title does not sound good.

"I know this relationship is a bit complicated, and everyone Li and His Royal Highness may not be able to understand it." Anna said with a frown.

Obviously, in this trial lecture, she explained the Holy Roman Empire fairly clearly, but she contained a lot of personal emotions about her own country, Byzantine Rome.

"Chen'er, do you understand?" Li Qingzhao asked with a smile.

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Princess Anna told too many personal names, and I'm still understanding their relationship."

Li Qingzhao thought for a while and said: "It's actually very easy to understand. You regard Anna's father as Song Taizu, Nikephoros III as Guo Wei, and Michael VII as Liu Chengyou. The complicated relationship, and the dilemma of Anna's father."

Guo Wei was the privy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty. Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty killed Guo Wei's family. Guo Wei escaped from death, launched a mutiny, broke through Bianjing, and established Hou Zhou.

Then Zhao Kuangyin added a yellow robe, and after receiving Zen, he established the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin's bullying of orphans and widows is not a good comment.

It was he who fought south and north to pacify nine of the ten countries, and restored the land of China from a separatist regime to a unified one.

He put an end to the nearly 70-year melee of feudal separatist regimes since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and ended a hundred years of war in the end of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the people who have suffered from the flames of war finally have a peaceful and peaceful environment.

Everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin is a man with a clean heart, jealous of evil, magnanimous, open-minded, studious and tireless, diligent in politics and loving the people, strict with self-discipline, not sensual, advocating frugality, setting an example and other beautiful words.

The kind of open-mindedness in the face of life and death.

But everyone, what impressed him the most was the yellow robe.

Undoubtedly in the present Roman Empire, Anna's father, Alexius I, was such a figure.

Zhao Kuangyin's biggest regret is that he did not recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

The biggest regret of Alex I was that he failed to recover Asia Island.

But Alex I was obviously luckier than Zhao Kuangyin. He didn't have a stupid younger brother, and he had a son with the title of King John of the West.

After being reminded by Li Qingzhao, Zhao Chen finally sorted out the complicated situation in the Eastern Roman Empire.

"It's not right to win the country." Zhao Chen took notes of these four words, and felt that something was wrong, so he crossed out these four words.

Li Qingzhao looked at Zhao Chen's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Isn't it right to win the country, you write it first, and I will explain it to you later. Take your Latin and Europa history classes well."

"Our Central Plains Dynasty has been from the Qin Dynasty to the present for more than 1000 years. We have enough history to learn. Why should we learn the history of Europa?" Zhao Chen asked in a daze, unable to figure out this question.

Li Qingzhao glanced at Anna, smiled and said in Kaifeng dialect: "Because your father is an emperor with the world in mind, the territory you may rule in the future will deal with Daqin. You don't know them, how can you be their master?" ?”

Anna looked at Li Qingzhao with a confused face. She couldn't understand Kaifeng dialect, and she couldn't even pronounce the official dialect very well. She didn't know what Li Qingzhao said.

The class ended in a thunderstorm, and Li Qingzhao gave Anna a teaching position, and she would be responsible for teaching Zhao Chen Latin and the history of Europa.

As the compiler of the first history book on Europa, Anna naturally has this qualification.

Zhao Chen pestered Li Qingzhao, asking her to talk about the country's injustice, Li Qingzhao hesitated a little, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about it later."

The probability of Zhao Chen inheriting the throne increases with the time when the emperor gives birth to a new prince.

So Zhao Chen can be trained as the crown prince, but not in front of the emperor.

When he was a teenager, he wrote "Two Poems Ode to the Prosperity of Wuxi and Zhang Wenqian", commenting on the ups and downs in a vertical and horizontal style, summarizing the historical lessons of the ups and downs before and after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, and admonishing the emperor of the Song Dynasty that "Xia Shang Youjian should take a deep warning. For Li Qingzhao, who has "Jian Ce's history and present", explaining the injustice of a winning country couldn't be easier.

However, it is inconvenient for her to tell Zhao Chenming.

If Zhao Chen is the crown prince, then Zhao Chen needs to learn the essence of the four characters of "detaining the country and not rectifying", but as the crown prince, he is not qualified to learn these.

When Zhao Huan received the letter from Li Qingzhao, he found out that Princess Anna was actually the editor of the first history book of Europa, the first scholar of the Europa people and the Great Cannibal.

He did not object to Li Qingzhao's decision, Latin and Europa history lessons, can rule Europa better, there is nothing wrong with it.

How can you defeat them and rule them if you don't even understand them?

"Still competitive as always." Zhao Huan said with a smile while reading Li Qingzhao's letter.

Just as Li Qingzhao understood that the world in Zhao Huan's heart was not the Central Plains, Zhao Huan also understood Li Qingzhao's plan.

This is the soul version where you know me deep and shallow, and I know you big and small.

She asked Anna to learn Latin because the Emperor Song knew Latin, Greek, and Hungarian.

The conscience of heaven and earth!That's all real-time translation of the system.

But Li Qingzhao, who was competitive, did not want to lose to the emperor of Song Dynasty in Latin and Greek.

After Zhao Huan finished reading the letter, Li Qingzhao made a suggestion to the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty to the Roman Empire that no one else had.

Take four thousand soldiers from Qinghe City to the Roman Empire!

Only when the security of the mission is ensured and enough force is possessed can he be qualified to speak, because Li Qingzhao has sensed the arrogance in Princess Anna's words beyond words.

One of the fine traditions of the Roman Empire is their proud martial arts.

In other words, from Gaius Octavian becoming the first emperor of the Roman Empire to Theodosius I dividing Rome in two, all emperors, without exception, ascended the throne as military commanders.

Big fists make sense for the Roman Empire.

Chen Dong's mission to the Roman Empire required a powerful fist, and the 4000-strong Qinghe Army was completely strong enough.

"Crusade, only 2 people?" Zhao Huan looked at the number in front of him silently and scratched his head.

His system is relatively useless, and there are no historical materials on Europa, and Zhao Huan has not had time to read Anna's "Biography of Alexei".

Li Qingzhao has already finished reading the book.

"Counting the baron who owns the territory, and their retinues, free men who pay taxes, and the main army of the crusaders who receive commissions, there are only 500 people?" Zhao Huan looked at the letter and opened the biography of Alexei. , After careful comparison, I was convinced that there were only 500 people.

The Crusades, with a total scale of 15 people and only 500 people in the main army, have been talked about by the Western world for so many years. The 200-year war actually only had 3000 or [-] cavalry, and they were not well-equipped. Heavy cavalry, but a mixture of light and heavy.

Among the 3000 cavalry of [-] men, there were only [-] cavalry from Raymond of Toulouse, [-] cavalry from Godfield from Bervernon, and [-] cavalry from William of Norman, all of which were heavy cavalry. No one is there.

You must know that in order for Chen Dong to be able to run, Zhao Huan allocated three horses for each of the entire Qinghe army, and the horses were equipped with heavy cavalry with armor and plate armor accessories.

Zhao Huan looked at the battle against gold with more than 30 main troops and 20 auxiliary troops, the huge road network, this kind of national mobilization ability, and more than [-] million people. Let's look at this, which makes the whole of Europa proud. Crusades.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the empty hall: "This is all rotten fish and shrimp."

His confidence in unifying the world and sitting on the earth has suddenly increased a lot.
