When the Ming Dynasty was vigorously developing Siberia, a major event also occurred in distant Moscow, which caused a major earthquake in the entire Western world.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, the development of Siberia was in full swing. At this time, Volkonslav accepted the Pope's coronation as Emperor of Tsarist Russia, which indicated that Volkonslav had been recognized by the Pope, and he could be considered as the official successor to Emperor of Tsarist Russia.
This incident not only had a profound impact on the Western world, but also had an immeasurable impact on the distant Eastern world. Even for many Westerners, this news was nothing short of shocking, because Tsarist Russia used to be a purely Orthodox country.
Wolkan's acceptance of the Pope's coronation also showed that Wolkan was determined to convert to the Catholic Church. It can be said that Wolkan's move completely changed the situation in the Western world. While strengthening the strength of the Catholic Church, it also betrayed the Orthodox Church.
.
Wolkan's choice is incredible. Religion has had an immeasurable influence in the Western world for a long time. Even from a personal perspective, religion affects everything in a country. There are traces of religion everywhere. No.
Religion runs through the entire Western world. In the past, Tsarist Russia was an out-and-out Orthodox Christian country. Why did Volkan betray his faith and choose to convert to Catholicism? Everything has to start with Yeltsin’s Eastern Expedition. From the beginning, Tsarist Russia’s influence on the East
He had strong self-confidence in the expansion plan, but Yeltsin led tens of thousands of Hammer Cavalry regiments to fail at the Yenisei River.
During the First World War in the Far East, Tsarist Russia realized that the Eastern Empire had a long history and was powerful, and had already shown a strong desire to possess and control the Yenisei River. The setback of the Hammer Cavalry did not make the Boye nobles put back their inflated ambitions, and the Boye nobles
Unable to give up its eastward expansion plan, because if Russia wants to become a great and competitive empire, it must cross the Yenisei River near Moscow, leaving too little space for Tsarist Russian soldiers. In order to fight against the powerful East
Empire, the Boyer nobles made their own choice and converted to the Pope of Rome, thereby gaining Germany as a powerful ally.
For Easterners, they can never understand how influential Western religions are, especially in the Western continent in the seventeenth century. Volkon's sacrifice paid off. Under the recommendation of the Pope, Volkon Slavs died in early June.
As Pope Gregory came to the Principality of Saxony on the coast of the Baltic Sea, the Saxony Suplin Castle, the vast grassland, and the majestic castle were ancient, but they did not show the twilight. On the contrary, bathed in the sun, they showed a bit of ferocity and dominance.
Just like the owner who lives in Suplin Castle, although he is quiet and low-key, he is definitely powerful. Walking on the path made of stone bricks, there are soldiers holding long guns and wearing khaki breastplates on both sides.
Volkan finally saw the famous Suplin Castle. Looking at everything in front of him, he deeply felt that Russia still had a long way to go.
This is just Suplin Castle. Just the Principality of Saxony has such momentum. What about the entire Holy Roman Empire? Although the Holy Roman Empire in Lothair's hands is not truly unified, it also includes the Principality of Saxony and the Principality of Brandenburg.
, the Principality of the Palatinate and the Principality of Bohemia. As Lothair's control becomes stronger and stronger, the Principality of Cologne and the Principality of Trier will return to the embrace of Holy Rome sooner or later.
Today, the Holy Roman Empire is under the rule of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty. However, due to religious disputes, the Holy Roman Empire is actually divided into hundreds of forces. In the north, the Principality of Saxony belonging to Lothair is the strongest.
Volkan was deeply worried about his trip to Saxony. Gregor was wearing a red cloak and was shrouded in it, but his eyes still saw the worry in Volkan's heart, "Your Majesty, Lothair is a very shrewd man.
people, believe that he will make the right choice, the gospel of God needs to be spread to the distant east, and for this, we will do our best."
Volkan was much younger than Gregory, and obviously did not have the determination of the old pope, so he could only nod lightly, "I hope everything will be as His Majesty the Pope said, the mysterious East needs our footing.
"
We finally arrived at the gate of Suplin Castle. Several soldiers lined up in a row. They looked tall and mighty. Standing at the gate was a man of medium build with blond curly hair and a charming smile on his face. If it weren't for the
With his dazzling aristocratic costumes, one would recognize him as an ordinary castle butler. This man is Lothair II, the current Grand Duke of Saxony. This man may seem ordinary, but no one dares to look down upon him, not even the Spanish Emperor Philip III.
cannot.
Lothair has experienced too many things in his life, and in several of the incidents against the Henry family, Lothair played a vital role. If he did not have strong abilities, how could he have used absolute power in his twilight years?
Will Prestige become the new true master of the Holy Roman North?
Arriving at the foot of the stone steps, Volkan made a respectful aristocratic salute, and Lothair returned the salute calmly, and gave a sincere greeting to Gregor. Lothair was elegant, peaceful, and not feeling at all
Not as aggressive as him, but in fact Volkan knew very well that Lothair was a very domineering person. Entering the castle, you will see ancient calligraphy and paintings, and a long table several feet long, showing the majesty and dignity of Suplin Castle everywhere.
Luxuriously, several maids were dressed in simple clothes. They had fair skin and beautiful faces, and they were all charming beauties. In order to welcome Gregorius and Volkan, Lothair prepared a feast, and there was a lot of talk during the dinner.
When it came to forming an alliance, Volkan was very surprised that Lothair agreed happily without thinking too much.
"Your Majesty, the Germans are all powerful warriors. The imperial soldiers can fully support Russia in conquering the Yenisei River, because we are bathing in the sunshine of God together." Lothair seemed peaceful, but suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up and he spoke
With a twist, "However, the Holy Empire will share half of the benefits east of the Yenisei River."
Lothair would ask for the interests of the Far East. Volkan had already thought of this, but he didn't expect that Lothair would be so ruthless and even want half of the benefits. It seems that Lothair, an old fox, had already thought of this.
, in fact Lothair has already thought about this issue. Even without the Russian Principality, Lothair still has a desire for Eastern interests. Since the Silk Road was reopened, the words of the Persians have continued to reach the ears of the Germans, Lothair
Gradually, I became interested in that mysterious Eastern Empire. A country that is rich and powerful, full of gold, and abundant in food. As long as there is a chance, why not get a share of the pie?
The reopening of the Silk Road not only brought benefits, but also brought crises. A rich and beautiful place, especially abundant food and gold, was too tempting for the warlike Germans. Lotay
Er has endless desires, and he wants to make the Holy Empire more powerful. The Boyer nobles also want to build a vast and unified Russian Empire. Driven by common interests, the two ambitious forces hit it off.
No one can understand what the Suplin Castle negotiations have brought to the world. In short, the meeting between Volkan and Lothair advanced the collision between the East and the West by a hundred years. This collision was different from the Mongolian expedition hundreds of years ago.
, this is a collision of expansionary thinking with possession and plunder, while the Mongolian expedition lacked too much possession, and was just a simple plunder, lacking many mature plans.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Lothair and Tsar Volkan, who represented the interests of the Boyer nobles, signed an alliance at Suplin Castle in the Principality of Saxony, known in history as the "Suplin Eastward Expansion Outline". This outline directly changed the world.
This process brought about the first major collision between the entire Eastern and Western worlds, and the result was war that swept through several countries in the East and the West. Of course, at this time, Lothair and others had no idea that this alliance would bring such huge consequences.
influence, and the distant Ming Dynasty was completely unaware of it.
In the Yun Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, Tie Mo has been deeply worried since the war in Siberia began.
In fact, he has been thinking about it for a long time. With the Tsarist Russian soldiers fighting on the Yenisei River, can the peace he wants still be obtained? At least, Tie Mo believes that from the perspective of future generations, for future considerations, the Tsarist Russians need to be completely defeated and pained.
That's fine, but the current domestic situation in the Ming Dynasty seems a bit unrealistic.
When Tiemo decided to build the city near the Yenisei River, the work efficiency of various departments in Yunfu was very fast.
Two cities along the Yenisei River are under emergency construction. With the beautiful Siberian immigration policy of the Northern Shanxi Army and generous remuneration, many people voluntarily joined the ranks of city construction. To the north of the Minusinsk Plateau, the blue sky
The scene in the city was lively. In order to complete the Azure City as soon as possible, Axes sent all the young people from his territory over. Coupled with the support of many people, with the cooperation between the two parties, the construction speed of the Azure City was faster than that of Beisaihe.
The city is much faster.
Axes looked at the unformed city in front of him, and a surge of pride surged into his heart. According to the current progress, it is estimated that the Azure City will be completed before next year, and the people of Minusinsk will also have their own city by then.
, only by truly living with the people of the Ming Dynasty can you become a true citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to build Azure City, the Siberians were united as soldiers and civilians. Many soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army gave up their rest and took the initiative to come over to help build the city. Wang Tingyu is an ordinary soldier. He has only been in the army for two years. He is a young man.
Although the soldier did not achieve any great achievements, he never gave up hope. He felt that he would definitely be able to achieve some achievements in Siberia and pursue the glory of his ancestors. As evening approached, Wang Tingyu was really tired and ran to the river to rest.
, lying on the grass, in a half-asleep and half-awake state. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I felt something strange. The grass beneath me trembled slightly, and the trembling became more and more severe. Finally, the earth also followed.
Shake up.
Wang Tingyu knew very well why this happened. Only when a large number of cavalry galloped together could such an effect be achieved. However, he had never heard of any major military operations by his own people near the Yenisei River, so it must be the enemy.
. Wang Tingyu stood up and crawled, dragging his shovel and running towards Azure City, "General Meng...there is an enemy attack...a large number of cavalry..."
The sixth year of Chongzhen was destined not to be too peaceful. Just when the construction of the Blue City was in full swing, the coalition forces composed of Tsarist Russia and the Holy Romans reached the Yenisei River. Since they had experienced a war before, the Slavs never asked again.
After advancing eastward, everyone thought that the Slavs had acquiesced to the reality. In addition, the Siberian soldiers and civilians were busy building cities, and they did not pay much attention to the situation west of the Yenisei River.
The coalition forces took the Hammer Cavalry Regiment and the Imperial Second Cavalry Regiment as the vanguard. Since they were all cavalry charges, the speed was extremely fast. The Northern Shanxi Army and the Minusinsk people stationed in Azure City had not yet organized a defense, and the coalition cavalry passed by.
Yenisei River. Most of the cavalry stationed in Siberia are stationed on the Taimyr Plateau. The only ones with real combat effectiveness in the Azure City area are the 3,000 infantry led by Meng Gan. The 3,000 infantry faced the impact of more than 20,000 coalition cavalry.
The results can be imagined.
Meng Gan led his troops to set up defenses in the west of Azure City. In order to allow the people to evacuate safely, more than 3,000 infantrymen of the Northern Shanxi Army and several hundred Minusinsk young men resisted with great difficulty. In the face of the powerful force, Meng Gan finally failed.
Withstanding the crazy attack of the coalition cavalry, Meng Gan's troops were defeated in just a quarter of an hour, and Meng Gan himself died in the battle on the grassland on the outskirts of Azure City.
After breaking through Meng Gan's headquarters, the coalition's surprise troops quickly caught up with the fleeing people. In order to build Azure City, nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty came here. At this moment, the coalition cavalry's
The steel knife was destined to cause a bloody massacre. A large number of people and Minusinsk people fled desperately, but they could not catch up with the cavalry. In the eyes of the bloodthirsty and violent Slavs, there was no distinction between civilians and soldiers. What they were pursuing was one
A kind of violence, a kind of revenge, the failure on the Taimyr Plateau must be recovered from here.
The Germans were chasing wildly. They wanted to use their weapons to show the power of Holy Rome. The blood of the empire must be spread to the distant east.
Outside the blue city, the newly built city was desolate and dilapidated. The afterglow of the setting sun shone down, reflecting the red ground under the feet. It was irrigated with blood and the creatures were filled with resentment.
In early November of the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, an event that shocked the world broke out in Siberia. The coalition of Slavs and Germans crossed the Yenisei River and, after capturing the unfinished Azure City, quickly launched an attack on the Siberian areas to the east and south.
As a result of the raid, the Minusinsk people, Tula people, Evenki people, and Han people were all harassed by the coalition forces along the way.
This confrontation once again demonstrated the barbarism of the medieval Western world. Countless civilians fell under the hooves of the coalition forces. The entire lower reaches of the Yenisey River were filled with mourning and corpses were scattered everywhere. Among them, nearly half of the Minusinsk people were killed.
The castle of Axes was also captured. The coalition forces came fiercely. When the cities of Tula and Siberia gathered coalition forces to block the attack in the west, it was already two days later.
