Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

[“I won’t go into details about their marriage relationship and emotional issues. After Ferdinand inherited the throne of Aragon, the two kingdoms were unified because of the monarch’s marriage.

Juana and her supporters have also been fighting against Isabella. They are worried that the rising Portuguese king Alfonso V in neighboring countries wants to marry Juana, help her overthrow Isabella, and then marry himself to become Cass. France, the monarch of Tilia, also joined Portugal on the territorial dispute. ”]

Looking at the maps of these different countries and their tortuous relationships, Ying Zheng felt that it was even more chaotic than when the Seven Kingdoms stood side by side. At least it was impossible for them to do this ridiculous thing of becoming a monarch after getting married.

["Isabella continued to launch a public opinion offensive, claiming that Juana was an illegitimate daughter. While uniting the nobles to win their support, she would also visit the battlefield in person to boost morale during the war. Ferdinand was in front of the army to fight, and was responsible for later supplies and winning allies.

Aragon gave up its disputed territories with France and France withdrew from the war. Four years later, Castile and Portugal also signed a treaty, and Juana was forced to retire to a monastery. ”]

Li Shimin thought of a person and sighed: "Although I am a woman, I will go to the battlefield in person. This courage reminds me of my sister."

Most of the aunts and nieces were speechless about this kind of thing. Two of them were originally princesses, but one was married and the other was an illegitimate daughter. They were fighting back and forth for the throne, and they simply ignored all etiquette and integrity.

Moreover, she exerts pressure on her husband to gain real power and govern, and her husband becomes a general who works for her. How unbecoming is this!

[“After the succession to the throne finally came to an end, Isabella began to rectify her internal affairs.

Due to years of chaos, Castile's finances were poor, social security was poor, its royal power was weakened, and its aristocracy was extremely powerful. Isabella formed the 'Holy Brotherhood', a local militia organization responsible for exterminating bandits, protecting national security, and making great contributions to social security and stability. ”]

Upon hearing this, everyone under the sky understood that they were suppressing bandits!

Some people also wonder: Didn't these places have soldiers before? The leader of a country has to raise local soldiers again.

The people of the Qin Dynasty quickly realized that there should be nobles, big and small, in different parts of the country, and the royal family could not control the outside world, just like they did before when Emperor Zhou was still there.

["In order to weaken local power and strengthen the authority of the royal family, she also reformed the courts and government institutions. She took back some land through decrees, restricted the participation of nobles in politics, and tried to weaken their influence as much as possible."]

After hearing this, several emperors who were not fools could understand that this was to maintain their rule. It was indeed courageous to dare to ask for land from the nobles who could unite to overthrow the king's rule.

[“Her personal image creation can be said to be very powerful. Her coronation method and going to the battlefield all subverted people’s stereotyped requirements for female images and aroused criticism at the time, so she was very smart not to oppose tradition. , but to show his virtues of humility and piety, to take care of his family and his husband.

It can be said that he has done a good job in saving face, and he enjoys real face-power. ”]

During Wu Zetian's period, Li Xian and Li Dan, the only survivors among the queen's four sons, had a deep understanding of this.

I think that when their father was still there, the eldest brother and the second brother were also there. The mother and queen had great power, and there was also a father there. Even if the two younger ones were not as valued as their eldest brother, they would not live in such trepidation.

Since the eldest brother died of illness and the second brother died in rebellion, the two of them were really not happy about being the prince. The father also left, and then took turns to be the emperor and was deposed in turn.

Compared with the current queen mother, even if the queen mother at that time came to the court with her father, she still had enough superficial skills.

["Under her rule, the country finally recovered its strength, and she set her sights on Granada, the last pagan regime in the Iberian Peninsula.

For centuries, national conflicts and religious conflicts in European kingdoms have been inseparable. JD religious kingdoms have also been trying to drive out the Arabs who invaded Spain.

By the time of Isabella, Granada was already in a weak position and had to pay tribute to Castile every year. However, the Ottoman army invaded Europe aggressively, and the monarch of Granada also showed his ambition, stopped paying tribute, and attacked the JD disciples. town.

Both Isabella and Ferdinand believed that the country was not ready for war, so they only ordered to block the sea and strengthen border guards to prevent the Turks from supporting Granada. However, some nobles were good at making suggestions to fight back against the enemy, causing the war to break out completely.

Spain fought against Granada on land, and also sent fleets at sea to support Naples, which was attacked by the Ottomans. The war lasted for ten years before they finally regained the lost territory.

Four years later, Pope Alexander VI conferred the title of 'Catholic King' on the two men. One of the reasons was to recover Granada, so some people called them the 'Two Catholic Kings'. ”]

Double king?

Li Zhi and Empress Wu looked at each other and smiled in understanding. They both felt that the title of their two saints sounded better. The two kings, the Catholic one, was too shabby.

People living in inland areas opened their eyes wide and looked at the vast blue sea and a ship with curiosity.

People who know military knowledge and generals looked at the action arrows on the map and were shocked: "It's not just land warfare, but such a small country actually has a fleet to conduct water warfare?"

Unlike their usual water battles on rivers and lakes, these water battles were all conducted on the sea, and one could be killed in the sea if not careful.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had artillery and fought water battles with difficult enemies, frowned.

Those fleet ships at sea had few people, and could not be compared with those of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. However, the passionate alien crew members on board made him feel unhappy for no reason.

["While Spain was busy with the war, the Portuguese trading routes in the Atlantic Ocean were already very developed, reaching North Africa, Southeast Asia, and even China. They also made a lot of money by reselling various oriental commodities. At that time, it was the Ming Dynasty. It was said that it Everyone will regret it, so let’s skip it for now.”]

People from the Ming Dynasty: No, what are you skipping? Tell me more!

["In short, the Portuguese have successfully made a fortune by being international businessmen, making neighboring Spain envious. Although Isabella has implemented a series of policies to restore the economy, compared with Portugal, it has missed the opportunity for maritime development.

So even though the country's finances were extremely tight after the Ten Years' War, Isabella also invested in Columbus's fleet to sail westward. The focus was to bypass the eastern route monopolized by Portugal and find passages to India and China.

Although Columbus did not go to the East, he discovered the New World of America. A steady stream of gold and silver mines from the Americas flowed to Spain, making Spain a rich country in Europe. In the later trade with the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of silver from the two countries poured into our country. , indirectly causing a series of problems in the late Ming Dynasty. ”]

Some people are curious: "If they don't want to go to the east, how can they go to the west?"

Immediately, someone who was listening carefully said: "The earth is round, of course you can reach the east by going west!"

Watching these fleets moving forward in a mighty manner, dropping one point after another on the map, people who originally thought that these countries did not emphasize agriculture but only merchants, once they heard that there were gold and silver mines in that American continent, they were raising money. After fattening two countries, everyone immediately became energetic.

That's a gold and silver mine!

In the Ming Dynasty, there were different reactions in different periods.

The Ming Dynasty was mentioned again, and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear more about it.

It was only the first year of Hongwu's reign, and he had not yet promulgated the "Sea Ban Order." However, the imperial court had just been established, and in response to the intrusion of a large number of Zhang Shicheng's remnants and Japanese pirates, he had already implemented the policy of prohibiting coastal people from participating in trade.

So, why did those two countries come to Ming Dynasty to do business? The people in the canopy sounded pity, what exactly were they pity for?

It would be three years before he would embark on a voyage to the West, but at this time Zhu Di, who had already had ideas in preparation, was looking straight ahead.

He feels that instead of waiting for others to do business with him, he can go mining on his own!

When they heard the influx of a large amount of silver, and based on the time, they guessed that it should be their own time period, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houcong's hearts skipped a beat, and they begged Tianmu to tell more about the Ming Dynasty.

["We all know how sinful the European countries' colonial activities in the New World were. Isabella ordered many times to treat the indigenous people well and establish good relations with them to facilitate missionary work (they were indeed devout believers), but Columbus and the subsequent colonists Ignore the Queen's orders and continue to carry out and perpetuate those evil acts.

In 1494, Charles VIII of France invaded Italy and aimed at Naples. Naples and the royal family of Aragon are close relatives, and the two Catholic kings naturally assisted their allies. The two parties formed an alliance with the Pope, the Holy Roman Empire and the Italian countries, which kicked off the beginning of decades of war in Italy. In the end, Isabella's close friend and confidant paid tribute. Salo defeated the French and helped the King of Naples regain his throne.

Well, it can only be said that the European Anti-French Alliance has been around since ancient times and is not just a matter of the "Seven Anti-French Alliances". ”]

The people of Qin and the Six Kingdoms also felt deeply.

Qin people: What did France do? There were actually 7 anti-French alliances, but they were repelled this time. They are really incomparable to their Great Qin.

The people of the Six Kingdoms shed tears of envy: It’s not that we have never formed a group to fight against Qin, it’s just that we haven’t succeeded.

There was a friend whom he had never met, but they had known each other for a long time. They were connected through missionaries and exchanged gifts. Kangxi's heart trembled: This France couldn't be France, right? My friend Louis XIV, what is going on with the Seven Leagues against France?

["After the war in France ended, the Ottomans invaded Greece again, hoping to get rid of the Venetian influence in Greece. Spain received the Venetian's request for help, and Gonzalo sent troops again to occupy the island of Kefalonia in 1500. This is For the first time since the fall of the Byzantine Empire, Europeans regained Greek territory.

Then the new French King Louis XII came to the throne and wanted to annex Naples. The Neapolitans, feeling that Spanish support was waning, actually turned to the Ottomans. Whether it was the disintegration of the alliance or religious belief, this approach angered the two Catholic kings and directly divided Naples with France.

Then the two sides fought again during the partition process, and Gonzalo went to Italy again, defeated France, and became the governor of Naples, and his reputation spread throughout Spain.

It is worth mentioning that it was Gonzalo who invented the tactics of spears and muskets combined with trenches during this battle with the French, which changed the traditional European combat methods. The trenches everywhere on the European battlefields of World War I are related to him. ”]

They have continued to win foreign wars and regained lost territory. Although they don't know exactly how disconnected their countries are, just looking at these is enough to be called a heroic leader. However, after years of war, isn't this militancy?

For a time, she was putting pressure on her husband to gain real power, and her husband became a general who worked for her. This reversal of priorities between husband and wife left many people speechless.

["Finally, although Isabella has excellent domestic and foreign achievements, she is a devout believer, which also leads to her serious religious bias. Regarding her religious policies and the famous 'Inquisition', We can talk about it next time.

To the Spaniards, Isabella was the queen who rewrote their history, saved the disintegrating country, and laid the foundation for Spain to become the maritime hegemon of Europe. In the original rules of chess, the chess piece 'queen' had a huge space for movement because of her, and it is a powerful flag to this day. ”]

The flags for the black and white confrontation were placed on the same black and white chessboard. The "queen" was picked up and the stone was dropped.
