gluttonous adventure king

Chapter 329
When the live broadcast started again, Fang Hong was already in Marseille.

"The train is really broken, it's hard to ride."

"Brother Gun, you do this every day, and I will tell you that you will be deported from France."

Fang Hong shrugged: "From Paris to Marseille, it takes three hours by train. This poor place is only as big as Zhejiang Province, and our car can go around Zhejiang Province in three hours."

"Brother Gun, compare the moving car with their ordinary car."

"I'm taking the TGV, okay?"

TGV is a high-speed train in France. It has created an experimental speed of [-] kilometers. However, in reality, it runs so slowly. If I knew it, I should have obtained a permit in advance and rented a car to drive here.

If you drive for more than three hours, you will go to Poland.

"Brother Gun, you've arrived at your destination."

"Yes, Marseilles, Provence."

When you come here, the first thing you think of is the sea of ​​flowers.

But as a person like Fang Hong, the first thing that comes to mind is history and sports.

Cavaliers and football respectively.

Provence is a famous land of knights, and it was also called the city of knights after the Middle Ages.

Here originated the knight culture.

A knight is a cavalryman who received formal military training in the Middle Ages in Europe, and later evolved into an honorary title used to indicate a social class.The identity of knights is often not inherited. In the Middle Ages, knights served in the lord's army and obtained fiefdoms.

In the chaotic situation at this stage, both the king and the nobles need some arms that have an overwhelming advantage in warfare. For this reason, they will carefully train some young people to become knights.The status of a knight is often not inherited, and its essence is different from that of a noble. In addition to being able to obtain fiefdoms like the nobles, the knight must also serve in the lord's army and prepare weapons and horses in times of war.

In knight literature, knights are often a symbol of bravery and loyalty. Every knight uses chivalry as a code and is the embodiment of a hero.

Whenever a knight encounters an enemy he cannot match, he will often lead his teammates and shout: "loyalty-faith-glory-courage". In the end, these knights will use their lives to protect their own. Homeland, the knights will never abandon their homeland, even if the price is death.

Of course, the knight's death was also tragic, almost disappearing at the same time as the nobleman.

When the British brought longbowmen and knights to war, the whole of Europe was disdainful.

The reason is simple, the aristocratic class wants to protect its own interests.

Just imagine, a man spent two hours, with the help of two servants, put on the knight's armor, and then went to the front, and as a result, as soon as the war started, he died with a bow and arrow.

Isn't this a joke?
Although the knight tradition has been maintained, it was completely destroyed during World War I.

During the First World War, there were still a large number of noble leaders and a large number of knights, but when the imperialists slashed wildly, they did not pay attention to the spirit of bullshit chivalry, and whoever is weak will die.

Ever since, in World War I, a large number of nobles and knights died crazily and tragically.The battlefield like a meat grinder has refreshed the three views of Europeans. They have given up the tradition of noble leaders and knights.

By World War II, it was basically dominated by modern infantry, artillery, and tanks.

The sport other than knights is football.

Football is easy, Marseille gyrates, Zidane.

Marseille is a coastal city, but unlike the open sea to the north of Paris, this is the inland sea of ​​the Mediterranean Sea.

Marseille is located in the Leon Sea in the Provence Basin of the Mediterranean Sea, and is the mouth of the Rhone River.

However, the venue of the competition is not in the city of Marseille, but in a small nearby village called Le-rove.

I don't know how to translate the name of this city, it should be a place of wandering and exile.

Speaking of which, there are some other interesting things.

900 years ago, during the Crusades, there were three major knight orders, one of which was composed of French knights. This knight order was called the Knights Templar.

The full name of the Knights of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Christ and Solomon was privileged by the Pope. In just over 100 years, it has changed from a big group of people holding together for warmth to a large financial group in Europe.

As I said before, the European countries 900 years ago were as poor as a county in our country 900 years ago.

They found a way to get rich by exchanging their heads for money.

The method is to form a so-called army and rush to Arabia to smash, smash, loot and burn.

At that time, Arabia was as powerful as our China, and it also had a plot similar to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The specific situation is that a group of farmers with shoulder poles, kitchen knives and hoes rushed to beat, smash, loot and burn. The Arab army swept them away, and then the Arab king let them go to show the kindness of the kingdom above.

But during the long Crusades, there was always someone who could catch the Arab army's untimely dispatch and successfully rob.

Ever since, this knight order has become very, very, very, very rich. Although compared with Arabia or China, it is still a group of silk huddles for warmth, but for Europe in the barbaric era, it is a group of big chaebols. Those who became usury issuers and accepted usury were all the kings of European countries.

This is the Land of the Knights, in fact home to a large number of Templars.

When the Templars were brilliant, they accepted territories, castles, and enshrining throughout Europe, and in France they owned almost half of the country's territory and castles.

Much of it is in this area.

"Although the Knights Templar can be defined as robbers, the King of France did more ruthlessly. The Templars went to steal Arabia, and they robbed the Knights Templar directly."

So the Knights Templar suffered a devastating blow 700 years ago and were wanted by the whole of France. A large number of Templars committed suicide with shoelaces when they were interrogated. Written, really no one knows.

Subsequently, the Knights Templar, which is said to have a wealth of treasures and sacred relics, was destroyed overnight.

Of course, the king of France fetched water from the bamboo basket in vain. Apart from avoiding debts, he got no wealth. Therefore, there are still various legends about the treasures of the Knights Templar in the world.

"I tell you this, not to let everyone marvel at the legend, but to be vigilant."

There is such a group of people whose ancestors sneaked and abducted, and finally had a certain family background, and then cleaned and plundered the civilized world, and finally claimed that they are the birthplace of modern civilization with morality and quality.

There is only one word to describe this - bah!

"Brother Gun, let me tell you, if you talk about this every day, you will be deported."

The most shameless thing is that they don't allow people to talk about it.

What Crusades, what war for the faith, is nothing more than bandit gangs.

For faith?For the belief that the Venetian merchants would buy the entire ship of Crusader passengers as slaves to the Middle East?

In order to believe that European whites will eventually stay in West Asia and establish Lebanon because of fear of debt collection?
For the sake of faith, the Knights will go to make a deal and then return to the west with gold, silver and jewelry?
joke.

From a certain point of view, the Middle Eastern people who have been stolen, kidnapped, smashed and become impoverished are doing something today, which is revenge.

"I don't say it because I hate them. I hate them because it's true."
