I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Many Tsarist Russian soldiers with low levels of education believed that the story of Zhu Youjian and Constantine XI was true, and that the evil Green Christians and the Tatars with ulterior motives joined forces to obliterate this history.

Coupled with the horrific casualties they suffered when they fought against the Ming army, there was even a phenomenon in the grassroots of the Russian army that they avoided serving in the Far East on the grounds that they did not want to fight with Zhu Youjian's descendants.

Of course, the strength of Daming is still the most decisive factor here.

If Daming was still as fat as Manqing, the moral awareness of these gray animals would certainly not be so high.

……

Aunt Julia was soon fascinated by reading the novel.

She said before that there is one thing that she has tried her best, but there is still no way to change the result.

This incident actually refers to the issue of Mary's status among noble women after she married into England.

No matter in Europe or China, the status of the main wife is very high.

The status of the main wife often depends on the strength of the natal family.

The most extreme is like some princesses in the Tang Dynasty, the son-in-law is like a slave in front of her.

Of course, in most cases, the marriage is about a well-matched pair, and the husband and wife are also equal in status.

In Queen Maria's view, she herself is the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, her husband is the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and even the Emperor of Eastern Rome, and her daughter is married to England.

To put it mildly, Victoria is called the Queen of India. To put it bluntly, she is just the queen of the United Kingdom.

Her late eldest daughter was the Crown Princess of the German Empire, and her status was just ahead of Maria, but now Victoria's attitude is that all her daughters, whether married or not, and the wife of Crown Prince Edward VII— Princess Alexandra, the eldest daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, ranks ahead of Maria in terms of status.

Julia tried her best to spread the word in the middle, but in the end she couldn't reconcile the contradiction.

This is difficult for the Normanov family to accept.

After all, among other things, the King of Denmark is a god, and his daughter deserves to be ranked in front of the only daughter of the Eastern Roman Emperor?

So this time, the Normanov family took advantage of the historical opportunity of regaining Constantinople, struck while the iron was hot, and planned to hold the wedding between Princess Maria and Prince Alfred at her natal home, which can be regarded as a reversal.

……

Soon, the carriage arrived at Topkapi Palace.

Julia reluctantly closed the book, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I think this novel is very interesting, can you lend it to me..."

"take it."

Queen Maria said with a smile, "I knew you would like it. Compared with the old-fashioned and boring England, the outside world is much better!"

She looked up at the Topkapi Palace, and couldn't help but sigh, "I dare say, Constantinople must be the most beautiful city in the world!"

"Not at all!"

Julia actually retorted with Maria in unison.

"Oh?"

Queen Maria was a little surprised.

She said that Constantinople was the most beautiful city in the world, which was of course an exaggerated compliment.

At least in her opinion, St. Petersburg would not be much worse than here.

But now is a great day for the reconstruction of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it is definitely not a mistake to compliment the beauty of the King Castle. Unexpectedly, both my sister and daughter expressed strong opposition.

Did they mean London?Or Paris?

Well, this place is indeed inferior to London and Paris, but they are too disrespectful to themselves, the Queen of Eastern Rome.

When Julia said it, she realized that she shouldn't be insulting her sister like this, but when she saw her niece saying the same thing, she immediately gained confidence.

"Sister, if I hadn't been invited to attend the Ming Dynasty Olympic Games six years ago, and had the honor to visit the Phoenix Capital of Ming Dynasty with Princess Sissi of Bavaria, I would also think this is the most beautiful city in the world. I think Maria will agree with me."

Maria nodded: "Mom, Auntie is right. It was that time when I was invited to visit the Ming Dynasty that I realized that there is such an ideal country in the world. Zhu Youjian, a collateral descendant of Mr. Zhu Youjian Mr. Fugui is also a gentle and handsome man, but unfortunately he seems to like women."

"A handsome man is a beautiful man, gentleness is nonsense..." Julia couldn't help but whispered to herself.

"Julia, are you familiar with Mr. Zhu Fugui?" Maria asked.

"Ah this..."

Julia was a little flustered for a moment, and hurriedly said, "How could I know that kind of tyrant, you know, he has a bad reputation in England..."

"Oh I got it."

Maria shook her head and said, "Mr. Zhu Fugui just has his own reasons for doing this, just like we came here, and just like Mr. Zhu Youjian went west from Beijing all the way in the novel."

"Maria, I think you have to distinguish between fiction and reality." Queen Maria said helplessly.

"Okay, Mom, I'll pay attention." Maria stuck out her tongue and jumped off the carriage.

Queen Maria looked at her daughter's back, sighed, and was helped out of the car by a maid.

Julia, who was left at the end, patted her chest, secretly thinking that it was dangerous.

She opened Han Yun's latest handbag and carefully put "Your Empire" into it.

At the same time, a large check with countless "0"s was lying quietly in the handbag.

Julia whispered softly: "Sister, don't blame me, you don't know the horror of the London stock market crash, and you don't know the terrible prices in the UK today... Without this money, Battenberg would be completely bankrupt, and I need to buy luxury goods , Alice also needs a carefree childhood, instead of going to school with those mud-legged children...

If you want to blame, blame the damn war, Churchill who killed thousands of swords, and Zhu Fugui who played with people's hearts...

After all, who would have thought that Elizabeth, the Hungarian financial queen who is now dominating the European financial circle, is actually the mistress of Ming Dynasty tyrant Zhu Fugui behind her? "

Chapter 753 Operation Pineapple Pizza

"Respected Emperor of China, King of Kings in the Western Regions, God Khan who the Turkic people worshiped, eternal elder brother of the Arabian Caliphate - Your Majesty Zhu Fugui, your breakfast - the roasted camel is ready!"

When Zhu Fugui woke up from his dream, his most humble servant, Ali Pasha, was prostrate at the door.

Ali Pasha was the most confidant of Abdul, luckily he did not die in the palace change, and now he bet all his hopes on His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

In fact, at the beginning, Ali Pasha didn't expect that the cronies that His Majesty the Sultan met casually by drinking grape juice would really travel through thousands of mountains and rivers to save him for the sake of illusory brotherhood.

But at this moment, he knew that His Majesty Sultan's elder brother was really a good elder brother.

Master Ming Lijian, benevolence and righteousness!

Today, Zhu Fugui is located in a port in Yemen.

Ever since he heard that Istanbul fell and the envoy of Ming Dynasty and his old friend Abdul brother were imprisoned, Zhu Fugui immediately made a decision to rescue the citizens of Ming Dynasty and Abdul brother at all costs.

This is not only related to the majesty of Ming Dynasty, but also related to whether Da Ming can take the lead in the extremely chaotic Middle East world in the center of the world island in the future, and whether his voice can be heard.

Although people often make fun of Iron Fist of Saigon.

But in an objective sense, the lighthouse country in Saigon’s Iron Fist era was much more generous than in the Kabul Airplane era.

In fact, when the Lighthouse Kingdom fell in Saigon, it successively took away more than 13 Vietnamese Leading Party members and their relatives.

In the eyes of people at that time, although there was Saigon Iron Fist, although there were 13 illegitimate children who lost their wild fathers, stranded illegitimate children and their mothers, although there were more dog slaves who were begging for mercy and did not get on the helicopter, but that was still [-] Thousands of places!

With my identity and status, no matter what, I can get my turn.

Therefore, this time, despite its flaws, the overall success of the evacuation operation reassured the leaders who were trembling under the turbulent communist movement in Southeast Asia at that time. The power still haunts the region for decades to come.

Zhu Fugui believes that this experience of the Lighthouse Kingdom is worth learning from Ming Dynasty, and should do better.

After all, since ancient times, the Chinese Empire has a tradition of passing on to the younger brother.

This is one of the rationales why tributary is an advanced form of alliance.

The Ming Empire naturally wanted to maintain this fine Chinese tradition.

Rescuing Brother Abdul is not only to rescue a juicy friend of His Majesty Zhu Fugui, but also to give the world a sense of security and reassure the dogs who eat Daming dog food.

Of course, from a technical point of view, this rescue operation is not so much like a lighthouse country, but more like the "Oak Tree Operation" in which Germany rescued Mussolini.

The newly emerging air force is bound to shine.

Sailing a boat in the clouds is undoubtedly a more advanced form of raid than sailing a boat on dry land.

And Zhu Fugui also gave this operation a nice name - "Pineapple Pizza" operation.

Objectively speaking, there are two reasons why Zhu Fugui dared to take such a risky action.

First, after the former Governor of India, Baron Northbrook, was eaten by cannibals, the British and Indian Calcutta authorities fully contracted their strategic forces, waiting for the new governor appointed by London.

The new Indian governor appointed by London obviously had a rough experience, and it was difficult to take into account the struggle for sea dominance in the Indian Ocean for a while.

In this way, although Ming did not have enough ships in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean region, it also formed a situation with the British that "the Indian Ocean is large enough to accommodate the warships of the Ming and Britain to pass without exchanging fire or even meeting each other."

In other words, the long-distance raid of the Ming Fleet objectively has the possibility of concealing its whereabouts for a certain period of time.

At the same time, the safety of the emperor's personal conquest can also be guaranteed.

The second is the new progress and new progress of the military industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Specifically, the new aircraft carrier "Zhu Chenggong" that was originally planned to be delivered to Morishita for the sunset invasion was urgently transferred to the Nanyang Theater for use.

"Zhu Chenggong" is not a new designation.

It is the name of Ming Dynasty's first real sea ship.

The first generation of "Zhu Chenggong" was the American armed merchant ship that carried Hiroto Ii, Morishita, McCann and others to Xinjin.

After being captured by Ming Dynasty, it was changed to "Zhu Chenggong" dual-purpose warship.

It played an important role in the colonization of the Bear Island-Aleutian region in the early Ming Dynasty and the whaling and walrus trade.

Moreover, the "Zhu Chenggong" also severely damaged three Russian whaling ships in the first Ming-Russian War, that is, the Aleutian naval battle, and wrote a brilliant stroke in the glorious military history of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

It's a pity that with the torrent of the times rolling forward.

As a warship, "Zhu Chenggong" gradually became difficult to adapt to the needs of the Ming Empire's external expansion and maintenance of the sea.

Later, the "Zhu Chenggong" became a naval training ship for a time, serving in the Naval Secondary College of New Caofeidian.

With the new round of equipment changes of the Ming Navy.

The "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", both meritorious ships, were used as the names of the new warships.

The first generation of "Zhu Chenggong" was also put into the Naval Museum, and the designation was inherited by the latest aircraft carrier of Ming Dynasty.

"Zhu Chenggong" is the second aircraft carrier of Ming Dynasty, the previous one is "Yunnan" which has repeatedly made military exploits in the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, the "Yunnan" was not a warship designed by the Ming Army, but the result of Admiral Morishita's departure alone.

Specifically, Morishita didn't know that the [GHS] research and development department of the Ministry of War was designing and building an aircraft carrier. Instead, as a first-line navy general, he used a merchant ship to transform an aircraft carrier into actual combat without a teacher, and obtained good results. Effect.

When he excitedly reported to the Marshal's Mansion and the Ministry of War to show off his invention, Zhu Fugui could only smile wryly and hand over the title of "Father of Aircraft Carrier".

After all, as long as the airplane is invented, things like aircraft carriers will not be far away.

The aircraft carrier in history was invented along with the aircraft.

China's local warlord Zhang Zuolin also used German merchant ships and French aircraft to transform an aircraft carrier as early as 1923.

Morishita's "Yunnan" is obviously on the same level as Zhang Dashuai's aircraft carrier, with eight carrier-based aircraft.

However, His Majesty Zhu Fugui personally initiated the project, and the Ministry of Industry Minister Geng Junhua took the lead in organizing the construction of the "Zhu Chenggong", which is far from a combination of merchant ships and aircraft.

it is……

A powerful combination of container cargo ship + plane + airship!

Due to well-known reasons, shipping prices and container ship prices in later generations soared all the way, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings’ annual profit increased by more than 1000 times, and the corresponding cultural value penalty for Zhu Fugui’s direct purchase of sea-going ships also increased.

So Zhu Fugui just bought a 150-ton small container ship as a research object, and Daming himself produced the aircraft carrier.

As the saying goes, if you look like a cat, draw a tiger and look like a dog.

The Geng Ministry of Industry and the others followed the 150-ton small container ship, and of course the aircraft carrier they designed and built was relatively hip.

But no matter how you pull your hips, this huge ship with a displacement of 15000 tons, a main engine propulsion power of 21900 horsepower, 2-axis propulsion, a speed of 21 knots, an endurance of 4000 nautical miles/10 knots, and a crew of 750 people is definitely worthy of the "Zhu Chenggong" name.

Although the "Zhu Chenggong" is not as domineering as the two armored battleships "Shenzhou" and "Yinzhou" purely in terms of tonnage and armor, there is no doubt that "Zhu Chenggong" is the most powerful ship in the implementation of ocean-going punishments and publicizing the great power of tomorrow. "" will play a powerful role far beyond the cannons of giant ships.

Chapter 754 Who in the world is opaque?

As Churchill said when he persuaded his son to become the governor of India, the Gulf of Aden and Yemen are also under the jurisdiction of the governor of India.

Yemen has been subject to the Kingdom of Axum in Ethiopia, Sasanian Persia, the Arab Empire, and later became part of the Ottoman Empire.

Beginning in the sixteenth century, the Portuguese and the British successively invaded Yemen and established European colonies.
