Liu Kewei, Cao System and She Guangua looked at Fatty Zhai blankly.

They had heard about the Crusades, and just now Fatty Zhai also introduced some history about the Leper King and Saladin.

They had also heard of Age of Discovery and had played the stand-alone version of the game of the same name before.

But they have never thought about the so-called connection between the two.

"There are many theories about the root cause of the Crusades." Fatty Zhai stroked his chin and smiled. "The one I prefer is that the Arabs seized the eastern coast of the Mediterranean from the Byzantine Empire and controlled the Silk Road.

The end of the road. And what the Silk Road provided

Various commodities, especially silk, porcelain, tea, medicinal materials and other special products from China, were indispensable to Europeans. In order to reopen the Silk Road and break the monopoly trade of the Arabs, European rulers and merchants

Only then did he launch the Crusade in the name of the Holy See."

"Qin family?" Liu Kewei's eyes widened.

Hearing him speak Korean again, Fatty Zhai's face straightened: "Speak in human language!"

"Really? It's impossible!" Liu Kewei curled his lips and changed to Chinese, "In the end, it's just some goods. As for making it so big? It also involves so many countries!"

The fat man sneered: "We are Chinese, so of course we don't think these things are unusual or common, but that was not the case for Europeans at that time. In the 18th century, there was a Swedish merchant ship called Gothenburg, which sailed from Guangzhou

Back in Sweden, the ship was loaded with almost these things, and it sank not far from the port of Gothenburg. Then guess what? Some of the goods salvaged from the sunken ship were auctioned, and the funds obtained could not only pay for the voyage.

The entire cost even allowed the businessman to make a small profit!"

Liu Kewei opened his mouth wide and was speechless.

"Okay, even if the Crusade was launched for the Silk Road, what does it have to do with the Great Navigation?" Cao System asked.

The fat man spread his hands and said: "The Crusaders failed, and the Arabs still occupied the east coast of the Mediterranean. In order to find another route to the East, European navigators were forced to explore south and west, and then they discovered the Cape of Good Hope.

, discovered the Indian route, discovered the New World...this was the great geographical discovery, and then the Age of Discovery came."

"Ai Xi!" Liu Kewei exclaimed, "No way, the Crusaders and the Great Navigation were both created because of China? This is unscientific!"

The fat man pointed at him dumbfounded: "Ah! You even cursed in Korean! I said Che shouldn't teach you all these things!"

Liu Kewei raised his chin in a arrogant manner: "If I want you to take care of it, haven't you also learned how to say 'ah' and 'ah'?"

"'Ah' is not only in Korean. I just use the Chinese 'Ah' to express surprise. Do you think I am the same as you?" Fatty Zhai said disdainfully.

System Cao interjected: "What about Korean and Chinese? Are you learning Korean?"

The fat man pointed at Liu Kewei again: "It has nothing to do with me. It's because Liu spent all day in the dormitory pestering Che'er to learn Korean, and then I heard a few words."

She Guanka asked curiously: "Old Liu, why are you learning Korean?"

Just when Fatty Zhai was about to speak, Liu Kewei stretched out his hands to cover his mouth: "Don't say anything, or we'll end our relationship!"

"Woooo." Fatty Zhai made two indistinct sounds, struggling to get away. He had no choice but to nod to Liu Kewei, who then let him go.

"Uncle Duan's story is really good, old Liu, don't interrupt," Cao System said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Duan will tell another one!"

"What I'm telling you is not a story!" Fatty Zhai protested dissatisfied, and after thinking about it, he started another topic, "Okay, speaking of the impact of **** on Europe, I will say two more things. You know

The Roman Empire?”

The three of them nodded.

The fat man touched his chin again and acted like a storyteller: "The Roman Empire later split into two empires, the Eastern and Western Empires. Do you know why each of them perished?"

"Is it related to our **** again?" Liu Kewei asked with an incredulous look on his face.

The fat man nodded affirmatively: "In the early Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu often invaded the Central Plains. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, led the expedition in person. As a result, he was besieged by the Xiongnu Chanyu on Baishan Mountain. In the end, he had to bribe the Chanyu's wife to help him speak, and he escaped from the siege. After that

The Han Dynasty adopted a conciliatory and gentle approach to the Xiongnu, seeking opportunities to develop its national power, which is why the story of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress came about.

After the rule of Wenjing, the national power of the Han Dynasty was greatly enhanced. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was on the throne, he sent Queen Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing and Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing to lead the army to defeat the Xiongnu. So the Xiongnu divided

It was divided into two parts, the north and the south. The southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, while the northern Xiongnu continued to fight against the Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty united with the southern Xiongnu to launch continuous wars against the northern Xiongnu and won, eventually forcing the northern Xiongnu to migrate westward.

Less than three hundred years later, in the direction of the migration of the northern Huns, a nation called the Huns emerged in West Asia. They first invaded the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and then pursued the Visigothic Kingdom. The Ostrogothic Kingdom was destroyed, and the Western Gothic Kingdom was destroyed.

The Goths were forced to move southwest and retreated into Ciro

into the Roman Empire, and then moved to Spain. The army of the Western Roman Empire was first defeated by the Visigoths, and then defeated several times by the Huns. They were unable to fight back. Then the Huns army swept across Europe, and both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires were forced to

A huge amount of gold must be paid to the Huns.

In order to escape the invincible front of the Huns, the Germanic tribes had to move south and west. The Anglican and Saxon people moved into the British Isles and became the main ethnic group in England in later generations; the Franks moved into Gaul and later developed

The Frankish Kingdom encompassed France, Germany and Italy; the Vandals moved into Spain and later became a large country in North Africa; the Visigoths drove the Vandals from Spain to North Africa, occupying most of Spain and southern Gaul.

The formation of these later European nation-states was inseparable from the Huns' invasion, so the Huns were also called the "whip of God."

After being defeated several times by the Huns and Visigoths, the Western Roman Empire declined greatly, and finally perished due to the rebellion of Germanic mercenaries..."

The fat man picked up the tea cup again, and while drinking tea, he turned to look at the three listeners, all of whom looked attentively listening.

"I didn't expect that I have a talent for storytelling." Fatty Zhai joked, "But you guys should give me some reaction. It's very hard to write such a long story, okay?"

Only then did the three people react and began to clap and cheer.

"You've been talking for a long time, are the Huns and Huns the same thing?" Liu Kewei was the first to ask the question.

Fatty Zhai shook his head: "Domestic historical circles basically believe that the two are one and the same, but Western historical circles have not yet recognized it. After all, there was an interval of nearly three hundred years from the Huns' westward migration to the rise of the Huns. During this period,

The Huns seem to have disappeared from history. But I feel that a powerful nomad moved to a certain place and then disappeared. Three hundred years later, another nomad with a similar style emerged in the same place. There is no difference between the two.

There is no connection at all, do you believe it?"

"Yes, it makes sense." Liu Kewei nodded, "I don't believe it either."

Cao System urged: "After talking about the demise of the Western Roman Empire, there is still an Eastern Rome. Uncle Duan, hurry up and continue!"

The fat man took two more sips of tea, then put down the tea cup, cleared his throat and continued: "Eastern Rome is a little simpler. It is said that when the Huns were at their most prosperous in Europe, a new nomadic people also appeared in the northern grasslands of East Asia.

The name was Turk, and it soon developed into a huge khanate starting from the Xing'an Mountains in the east and reaching Asia Minor in the west, and then split into two parts: East Turk and West Turk.

During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent general Li Jing—yes, Li Jing of Sanyuan among the Three Heroes of Fengchen, the prototype of King Tota—to lead an army to conquer the Eastern Turks, captured Jieli Khan, and destroyed the Eastern Turks. II.

More than ten years later, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty sent Su Dingfang to lead an army to conquer the Western Turks, captured Shaboluo Khan, and the Western Turks were destroyed.

The Seljuk family of the Western Turks invaded Western Asia, founded the Seljuk Empire, and established the vassal Rom Sultanate in Asia Minor.

Another Ottoman family in Western Turks was initially attached to the Sultanate of Roma. After the demise of the Seljuk Empire, the Ottomans became independent from the Sultanate of Roma and annexed most of the Sultanate of Roma lands. Subsequently, the Ottoman Empire repeatedly defeated the Byzantine army and European

The coalition forces sent by Christian countries to support Byzantium eventually captured Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. Byzantium, the only true millennium empire in human history, was destroyed.

The Ottoman Empire lasted until the Great War in modern times. After the war, the empire was dismembered, the sultanate system was abolished, and the Republic of Turkey was established. The word "Turkey" evolved from "Turk"."

"In other words, the remnants of the Western Turks who were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty brought an end to the Eastern Roman Empire?" Liu Kewei muttered to himself in disbelief.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it," System Cao also smacked his lips, "that two such famous Roman empires were actually wiped out by our ****'s subordinates..."

She Guangua asked curiously: "Uncle Duan, are you studying history?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "I studied science, and my university major was computer management and application..."

"How can you, a science student, know so much history?" She Guangua was shocked.

"The interest aroused by watching movies and playing games, and then I checked some information on my own, and I know a little bit." Fatty Zhai shrugged, "In this information age of ours, it's not that difficult, right?"

Liu Kewei looked at Cao System and She Guangua, and said with a weird expression: "I'm really curious, where did Chief Xu find such a copywriting planner... Isn't it a bit unnatural?"

System Cao and Guan Guan She felt the same and nodded in agreement.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and Director Xu and a group of people from the programming department came out one after another.

"The problem has been solved. If nothing happens, go back and rest. Don't be late tomorrow morning." Xu Zhuce said.
