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

Eighteen years ago, after the British warriors broke through the capital of the ancient empire, they plundered countless treasures, and this exquisite vase is one of them.

In the past, it was just a vase, and if it was smashed, it would be smashed.

But at this moment, Victoria carefully put the vase back on the shelf and asked the housekeeper to wrap it in cotton cloth.

Smashing this vase would certainly relieve one's anger.

But Victoria knew that at critical moments, she might need to rely on these Chinese cultural relics to save her life.

"Yes, and those letters!"

Victoria suddenly thought of something, and hastily summoned the butler again, "Ramsey, is the letter written to me by that bastard from the Ming Dynasty when I was in my 40s still there?"

Victoria remembered that the villain wrote a lot of obscenity in the letter, and the content was unsightly, but if he could find it now...

Maybe I should write him back a few letters?

"No more, throw them all into the stove and burn them. This is your order from Your Majesty the Queen!"

The butler said helplessly, "And since your 50th birthday, Zhu Fugui has never written a single personal letter."

'Damn it!I'm just a 57-year-old baby, how come no one cares about it, and even wants to send me to the gallows! '

Victoria regrets it now, very much.

It's a pity that flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.

At that time, it was popular inside and outside the city of Sijiu. Grandpa Baqi used Xingzhen, which he had agreed upon. Now he is 43 years old, and Victoria is a more appropriate old woman.

That's right, after all, she is already a grandmother, and her eldest grandson is now an emperor.

"The Prime Minister, the Privy Council, the Defense Secretary, the Admiralty, are they all here? Is Prince Louis Battenberg here?"

Victoria sighed, and now she can only count on these important officials of the court. After three general mobilizations, there are still 80 troops defending London. Germany, the British Royal Air Force still has a hidden R-1 airship, which has not been discovered by the all-pervasive Ming Dynasty reconnaissance plane...

These were supposed to be shields to protect the royal family's property, but now they have become bargaining chips to surrender to the grandson...

She desperately hopes to hear some good news from her confidant ministers.

to berlin...

If given a choice, who would want to go to that ghostly place!

Prince Louis Battenberg has been in London for three days.

Victoria also struggled for three days.

Go or stay, no matter what, a decision must be made today.

Chapter 886 Eight-Nation Allied Forces Invade Europa

Air vehicles undoubtedly made the Ming Pacific Rim Empire possible.

If it was really an anti-Qing script in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui didn't even know how to quickly travel between the two places in order to control this huge country.

Although Zhu Fugui still didn't dare to take the long-distance transport plane that the masters had saved, the original helium airship of later generations greatly reduced Zhu Fugui's itinerary.

Three weeks after the Broken Leaf City meeting, Zhu Fugui returned to the loyal Fengdu.

While overlooking the turbulent waters of the New Bohai Bay on the airship Fathead Fish, Zhu Fugui thought of William II's complaints.

Maybe I really should consider the issue of moving the capital.

With the revival of China on the horizon, it might be a good idea to move the Ming capital back to East Asia.

There are two theories about hegemony in the world today, and they are also quite controversial in the academic circles of the Ming Dynasty, namely, the theory of sea power and the theory of land power.

Historically, Britain and the United States, which supported the theory of sea power, finally defeated Tsarist Russia, which supported the theory of land power.

However, with the advancement of engineering strength and technological revolution, grand plans such as the Belt and Road Initiative have once again attracted people's attention.

Whoever controls the world island, who controls the land power theory of the world seems to be showing its edge again.

In fact, geospace is always the first element of politics.

Why can't Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa become world powers, but India's momentum is relatively rapid?

The reasons for this are very complex and cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.

But one element that is often overlooked by people is actually very important, that is, although India is located in the south, it is a country in the northern hemisphere and is located on the island of Eurasia.

The countries in the southern hemisphere are naturally far away from the most densely populated and industrial belts in the world, and they are also far away from industrial product supply areas and terminal consumer markets.

The land in the southern hemisphere is long and narrow and sparsely populated.

Invisibly, countries in the southern hemisphere have to bear more costs in raw material transportation, industrial chain integrity, commodity transportation, etc. in order to access the world trade network.

The same is true for the dispute over sea and land rights.

Once the world islands are tightly integrated to form a set of convenient and efficient internal circulation, not only island countries such as the United Kingdom and Japan will face extinction, but even continental countries such as the United States, which are isolated overseas, will suffer heavy losses.

Of course, it is not an ordinary difficulty to break through the transportation network and tightly integrate the world islands.

At least in the foreseeable future of Zhu Fugui, Daming cannot do this.

But in any case, the industrial layout of Ming Dynasty will spontaneously move from Yinzhou to Shenzhou, and the policy of the imperial court only accelerates this process.

At that time, Fengdu, the capital, will appear somewhat top-heavy.

But where to move the capital needs to be carefully considered.

To be honest, from a purely geographical point of view, Edo is a good choice, considering both sides.

But from a political point of view, it is obviously not advisable to put the capital on Wajima.

Zhu Fugui's preliminary plan is still in the old capital - Yingtianfu.

Yingtianfu, or today's Jinling Special Economic Zone, is the second special economic zone established by Ming Dynasty in Shenzhou, with a good foundation and a solid foundation.

And after the Ming Dynasty owned Nanyang-Australia, Jinling's location is not considered southerly, and it can radiate Nanyang.

It's just that Nanjing, the capital since ancient times, doesn't seem to have a good end.

Zhu Fugui felt a little guilty.

I have gone all the way from the son-in-law of the Yin people, created this huge territory of 5500 million square kilometers, planted many flags, and learned many "good teachers". Zhu Fugui is not sure if his destiny is hard enough to overcome The point of the Nanjing curse.

Or just learn from Yang Guang and set up two capitals in the east and west, plus Zhu Di's two capitals in the north and south, and make up four capitals.

But from the perspective of maintaining the unity of the empire, the establishment of the four capitals may be superfluous and counterproductive...

……

After Zhu Fugui returned to Fengdu, he temporarily shelved the matter of moving the capital, and there were a lot of government affairs to be dealt with.

The first is to receive Abdul's younger brother's family from Russia.

When the air raid on Constantinople rescued Abdul, Ming was unable to rescue all of Abdul's younger brother's family members due to the limitations of the airship's carrying capacity and combat time.

These years, Zhu Fugui has been thinking about this matter, and this time he asked the Russians to ask for it, and Alexander II went along with it.

Not only did they release him, but they also returned to Daming some of the Ottoman royal jewels that had been detained before.

Abdul is also relatively honest. Although more than [-]% of the jewels have been swallowed up by the Russians, what is left is a considerable fortune.

Abdul gave all these jewels to Zhu Fugui, but Zhu Fugui was disrespectful, and then found Xiaoerhei to buy a batch of high-end Turkish-style imitation jewels and donated them to the Daming Royal Museum.

Zhu Fugui was not worried about being discovered. Anyway, Abdul was drunk all day long, and he saw double images of things, and it was impossible to see clearly whether his jewelry was real through such a thick glass.

Zhu Fugui did not intend to sell these jewels to future generations.

There is no need for this, there are many ways for Daming to make money now.

Zhu Fugui just hid these jewels in his star picking platform for emergencies.

In addition to giving jewelry to Zhu Fugui, Abdul even wanted to give it to his concubine.

It's not for the eldest brother to try something new, but to be sent to the palace as a rough servant.

How could Zhu Fugui agree to this kind of thing? He resolutely refused, and changed Abdul's brother to a big villa in the Wuguocheng community, so that he could enjoy the blessings of being equal to others, and by the way solve the long-term complaints of Napoleon and Eugenie. .

Later, when Zhu Fugui went to visit Abdul's younger brother, he happened to see the real faces of his concubines...

No wonder my brother always harassed Mrs. Eugenie, and after moving, he always sat on the threshold and drank...

If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it...

In Zhu Fugui's impression, Middle Eastern beauties look pretty good.

But the concubine of the Ottoman Sultan...

Why is it so hard to explain?

Compared with them, those of Pseudo-Qing are all first-class beauties!

The little disturbance about Ottoman's legacy was just a small episode in his busy life, and Zhu Fugui put more energy into preparing for the Second Sunset Army.

Including the Kamikaze Commando, the Anza Homecoming Regiment, and the Celtic Volunteer Army, the First Sunset Army of the Great Ming Expedition to England had a total number of about 42.

So far, more than 4 people have been killed and martyred, including nearly 4 Zhenming.

It may be an exaggeration to call the British mainland a meat grinder, but such a death rate is indeed far higher than the casualties when Ming liberated India.

The British were still very brave when they fought at home.

According to the investigation and research conducted by the General Staff Department of the Marshal's Mansion, the Ming Dynasty wanted to completely control the situation in Britain and support the pro-Ming Alihui government. The remaining nearly 30 regular troops of the Ming Dynasty might not be able to leave the British mainland.

According to the Treaty of Broken Leaf City, after the liberation of London, Ming Dynasty had to send 15 troops to the European continent within 50 days.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had to set up the Second Sunset Army in advance to go to Europe to fight.

Of course, these 50 people cannot all be enlightened.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are so precious. Zhu Fugui has only recruited 520 million soldiers so far. Among them, the Fusi of Jinyiwei South Town, who is responsible for fire fighting, inspecting smuggling, arresting smuggling, banning hunting in the forest, and investigating gold Farming and reclamation division.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui is going to send 30 direct troops, and at the same time invite heroes from all over the world to form an eight-nation coalition army to send troops to Europa.

This time, it was none other than Grandpa Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty who responded to the Ming Dynasty's mobilization order first.

Back then, the Chu army didn't send troops immediately, and Grandpa Li almost lost his head.

This time he learned his lesson, and ordered someone to call back almost as soon as the Daming telegram arrived: "The Haner of the Southern Tang Dynasty has great ambitions, and vows to wipe out the demons of Ou Luojing!"

After Li Gongye sent the telegram, regardless of the time difference between Nanyang and Fengdu, Xingye summoned all the generals to order troops.

In the end, the old friend of Ming Dynasty, the owner of Zhuka, and the inventor of Zhuka took the lead in the charge - General Liu Mingchuan led [-] troops, prepared his own small steamer, and went north to fight against the barbarians.

These 10 people, as well as the Nantang Fleet, are the treasures of Mr. Li's bottom of the box, and they all took out Stud this time.

In addition, he also contacted his old friend Bulber Pretorius Jr., extorted a sum of military pay from the latter, and recruited 700 Boer musketeers from him.

Who is Mr. Li?

You can't learn the good ones, but you can learn the bad ones as soon as you learn them.

He can't learn how Daming Father State engages in kamikaze commandos and Anza's homecoming regiment, but it's still possible to take pictures of tigers and cats.

These 700 musketeers are the secret weapons used by the Southern Tang Army when they need to break through. They are the tail of a lizard and the arms and legs of an octopus!

It's just that I never thought that a day before the Tang army set off, an unexpected person found Mr. Li again.

John Zulu, the son-in-law of the Zulu Kingdom, found him.

Today's southern part of the African continent is in a sandwich state.

The farthest north is the Zulu Kingdom, they are the ceiling of force among the blacks... If you don't count the high-level nuns in the Taiping Nation...

The middle layer is the Earl of Boer, and the main body is the Dutch-born Boers who practiced a barbaric but effective apartheid system.

In the south, there is the Southern Tang Principality composed of Chinese.

Zulu, Boer, and Nantang can be called the Big Three in South Africa.

This South Africa includes Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique and other South African countries, not just the African Republic.

The sandwich isolation system designed by Mr. Li, Bismarck in Africa, was inadvertently inserted, and effectively isolated the outbreak of AIDS and other diseases in Southern Tang Dynasty after 100 years.

In short, Grandpa Li never expected that the Zulu son-in-law would come looking for him.

The point is, this Zulu son-in-law is essentially the son of the British prime minister.

However, this filial son of the Prime Minister has already stepped out of the situation to see the situation clearly.

That he has changed his name from John Churchill to John Zulu is telling.

John Zulu sent 300 experienced Zulu warriors, and expressed that the Zulu people were willing to make a modest contribution to the just cause of the Great Ming Dynasty.
