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

Depleted finances, endless wars, the retreat of the North Germans, and the rising calls for self-determination of the various nationalities in the territory all made his ability to maintain this fragile empire rapidly decline.

Many people believe that if the empire is destined to collapse in this war, the first one to collapse is the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

On the contrary, Elizabeth, who won the title of "Budapest Financial Queen" through dazzling financial manipulation, gained more and more support in Hungary, and even faintly became the spiritual leader of Hungarian separatism.

Zhu Fugui, out of his professional shit-stirring... out of the keen sense of an international strategist, realizes that perhaps this is an important opportunity to project the power of Ming Dynasty to Budapest.

Of course, if you want to do this, you can't do it without the approval of the Russians, or the Eastern Roman Empire.

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, Eastern Rome will be a neighbor that the Ming Empire cannot move away. If the Eastern Roman Empire collapses as it did in history, it will not be a good thing for Daming and Zhu Fugui himself.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui believes that it is time to sign a bilateral agreement of understanding with Eastern Rome.

However, this requires both parties to reach a certain level of strategic mutual trust.

Today, however, the military and political basis for this strategic mutual trust does not yet exist.

The Eastern Romans could not yet accept the result of the complete loss of land in the Far East.

Zhu Fugui judged that when the Great Ming expelled all British influence from the Indian subcontinent, the Eastern Romans could rationally accept the fact that the Ural Mountains were the natural border of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there are many clues, and the key to everything is the battle of India.

Chapter 779

Spring is the season of recovery of all things.

In Yangon at 16°48' north latitude, Zhu Fugui did not feel this.

After all, the seasons here are like spring.

Yin Weasel has recovered from dehydration.

When talking about his adventures on the streets of India years ago, he still has lingering fears.

This excellent hunter wandering in the Rocky Mountains, a cold-blooded agent walking in the dark, and a loyal guard standing in the shadow of the emperor and also a collector of royal porcelain, this is the first time in more than ten years that he has taken more than a month of sick leave.

At this time, he returned to his usual indifferent appearance, standing behind Zhu Fugui expressionless, but staring closely at every plant and tree around him.

"Itachi~"

Standing on the pier, Zhu Fugui inspected the stockpile, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you curious why I stockpile so much 'food'?"

Yin Were shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhu Fugui asked again: "Then do you want to know?"

Yin Were shook his head again: "If you need to know, His Majesty will let you know."

Zhu Fugui sighed, chatting with this guy is really boring.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xueli got out from behind Yin Weasel.

Speaking of which, Sydney is actually 13 years old this year.

But because of abuse in Indian schools, stunted development, or the fact that the Inuit themselves are shorter than Han Chinese and Southern Indians, Sydney still looks like a ten-year-old girl.

Pointing to the mountains of boxes on the pier and the piggy page printed on the boxes, she raised her nose and said, "Long live, I've wanted to ask for a long time, what are these, the smell is so strong!"

Zhu Fugui laughed loudly and said, "It's not a secret, just tell our little Sydney!"

Zhu Fugui drew his saber from his waist, stepped forward and slashed at one of the wooden boxes.

A little awkwardly, the case split open, but not completely.

A few more hard chops and the balsa box fell apart.

Scattered from inside were clumps of dried, half-rotten meat scraps.

There are even maggots crawling on it.

"Wow, it looks delicious!" Sydney jumped up clapping her little hands.

Zhu Fugui's eyes widened.

It turns out that this is the heavyweight.

But thinking about it carefully, Zhu Fugui felt relieved.

Because Zhu Fugui knew that Kiwiak, a traditional Inuit delicacy, looks like this.

In fact, due to the lack of food, especially the lack of vitamin sources such as green vegetables, peoples at high latitudes basically have similar customs in order to obtain vitamins from fermented carrion.

For example, the famous canned herring, a traditional Swedish delicacy, is made from lightly rotted and fermented herring.

The Inuit kiwiak is a little more rugged.

This food preparation method is very complicated and takes several years to complete.

To put it simply, the dead body of the petrel was put directly into the body of the seal without any treatment, hair removal, or viscera, soaked in the gastric juice of the seal, and then sealed with seal oil after suturing.

Then bury the seals in the permafrost, ferment for 2 to 3 years and take them out before they can be eaten directly.

One can imagine what kind of food that kind of food looks like.

But for the Inuit, this is a rare delicacy that can provide them with vitamins that are desperately needed in the Arctic.

Seeing that little Xueli seemed to smell like home, and looked eager to try, Zhu Fugui hurriedly pulled her back to the car with Yin Weat.

On the way back, Sydney still misses her.

When Zhu Fugui thought of this little girl sculpted in pink and jade with a piece of carrion with maggots in her mouth, he couldn't help but think of the scenes in Thai horror movies.

Speaking of which, eating carrion is also a thing in China.

As far as Zhu Fugui knows, in some places in China, there is indeed a custom of eating rotten pork.

But it's not mainstream after all.

Moreover, Zhu Fugui estimated that the degree of rot of the pork must not be comparable to the leftovers he collected.

In fact, these meats are leftovers collected from Zhu Fugui Sausage Factory, Fishery Company and other departments in Wadao, Tianjin, Fengdu and other places.

There are not only the meat of pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, and ducks, but also various wastes of unknown seafood.

Daming is not yet rich, and thrift is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

So generally speaking, only scraps of particularly poor quality are discarded completely.

The better-looking waste has two uses, one is to make feed, and the other is to make red-necked traditional gourmet nutritious cereals exported to the two American princes.

Of course, knowing that there is something called prions in the world, Zhu Fugui specifically asked the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of the Ministry of Household Affairs to coordinate the management, feed the cows with pork dregs, and feed the sheep with beef dregs to strictly prevent the emergence of mad cow disease.

In addition, since Robert Lee formally changed his name and accepted the canonization of Daming, Daming has gradually strengthened the quality control of the red neck cereal, and will not use these highly rotten meat as raw materials.

The carrion that is now appearing on the pier in Yangon is waste that is not even suitable for pig feed, and is not suitable for consumption at all.

However, it is also a case of not being suitable for consumption.

And when real disaster strikes, they'll be a scramble for food.

Moreover, even if it is not a disaster year, this is high-quality meat that meets the procurement standards of the Ministry of Defense of a famous world power!

Zhu Fugui is confident that his own moral standards will not be significantly lower than those of relevant officials in big and impressive countries.

At least those involved in the clandestine handling of rotten fish in the New Zealand seafood market would agree.

……

Since the 14th year of Dewu, that is, February 1876, the large-scale food processing factory Yangon Royal Sausage Factory invested and built by Daming in Yangon began to work overtime to produce [Shiva's Whip] brand sausages.

供应神州和西楚，少量赠与鞑宋的【朱富贵香肠】，每公斤的配方是：100克白羽鸡肉、50克优质牛肉、100克海鱼肉或者雪蟹肉、550克优质半肥猪肉、30克鸡蛋、20毫升牛奶、150克面粉。

Although compared with the [Stalin Sausage] in the former Soviet Union, the ingredients of [Zhu Fugui Sausage] have shrunk slightly, but in general, a [Zhu Fugui Sausage] contains extremely rich nutrients.

But [Shiva's Whip] brand sausage is completely different.

Its formula is very simple and crude: every kilogram of [Shiva's Whip] sausage contains 20ml of Ganges water, 500g of rotten meat filling, 100g of old rice flour, 100g of corn flour, 100g of potato flour, 100g of flour, 80g of margarine.

Zhu Fugui has seen the finished product of "Shiva's Whip".

What he wants to say is that this is not so much "Shiva's Whip", but rather "Shiva's Facilitation".

That color, that smell, anyway, Zhu Fugui was completely unacceptable.

However, due to the sterilization treatment, there will be no "bacteria born from the stomach" situation.

But it is certain that sausage contains various toxic and harmful substances.

But Zhu Fugui is very clear that he is doing good deeds, which is a great merit, and he is the most moral person in the world.

This is no exaggeration at all.

Because as a Ming emperor, no matter what Zhu Fugui does now, he will become a living Buddha against the backdrop of the British.

Yingyi is as poisonous as a ghost, which reflects that there are no villains in the world.

……

When the eyes of the whole world were focused on the fall of Istanbul, on the repeated scramble for Brussels, and on the Queen of England's speech, claiming that the British Empire would swear to the death to defend the jewel in the crown of the empire - India, no one noticed that in India The Deccan plateau in the south hasn't had a single rain in five months.

This may be because the monsoon movement in the Indian Ocean has deviated a little since last year, causing the water vapor belt to move eastward.

Zhu Fugui listened to Ruan Phuc and said that the rain in the Indochina Peninsula this year is indeed more than in previous years.

Even the newly established Cochin Chief Secretary made a plan for flood prevention and control in the spring, but fortunately it was useless in the end.

But for India, losing precious rainwater, a bigger disaster is coming soon.

Chapter 780

Counting from the colonization of India by the British East India Company in 1773, the British have ruled this land for more than 100 years.

During these 100 years, Britain took countless wealth from India.

Indians in later generations often say that the British plundered 10 trillion pounds from India.

This is very likely to be true.

Even without that much money, the wealth that the Anzas took away from this ancient land is incalculable.

And what they left behind, in addition to industrial facilities, the so-called "excellent system", and "world languages", there are also countless bones.

There were 11 mass famines in India during the British rule.

They are:

The Great Bengal Famine of 1769 killed about 1000 million people

In 1783, the Great Charisa Famine killed about 1100 million people

In 1791, the "Great Skeleton Famine" killed about 1100 million people

The Agra Famine of 1837 killed about 80 people

In 1860, the upper Doab famine killed about 200 million people

In 1866, the Orissa famine killed about 500 million people

The Rajputana Famine of 1868 killed approximately 150 million people

In 1876, the Great Indian Famine killed about 1030 million people

In 1896, the Great Indian Famine killed about 1600 million people

In 1899, the Great Indian Famine killed about 1000 million people

The Great Bengal Famine of 1943 killed about 300 million people

As the number of days without rainfall continued, the eighth Great Famine in Britain and India, the 700 Great Famine in India with a death toll reaching tens of millions (there are also statistics as 550 million or other figures, but the smallest number is also 1876 million) finally here we go.

In fact, just three years ago, that is, in 1873, there was a small-scale famine that was not included in the statistics in Bihar, India.

The then Governor of Bengal, Sir Richard Temple, avoided a grievous death by importing rice from the Nanyang United Fruit Company.

But Sir Richard Temple, who made this act, did not get flowers and appreciation. He was dismissed from his post and rushed back to the UK, where he was questioned by London MPs for two years.

The old Churchill, who was pushing the over-issue of the British pound, rebuked Sir Richard Temple, calling him a waste of taxpayers' money and should be hanged on the dock.

Therefore, when the famine occurred in 1876, no British official had the will to rescue the disaster.

The severe famine first started in Madras, and soon spread to Mumbai, an important city in India.

By April, Mysore, Hyderabad and other places also saw crowds of hungry people.
