Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 3350 3352 [Addicted to annexation]
However, Xiang Nan was used to seeing beautiful women and was very determined, so he was not surprised by Han Xiangjian's appearance.
To be honest, based on his countless experiences with women, unless they are fairies descending to the earth, or demons, foxes, and ghosts with their own charming attributes, it is impossible for a woman in the mortal world to make him fascinated.
Therefore, he just nodded lightly and said, "You look quite handsome, so let's call him Rong Guiren."
"To report to the Emperor, Princess Xiangjian has also prepared songs and dances to present to the Emperor." Zhaohui added.
"You're tired of traveling and traveling. Let's rest for a few days first." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I still have official duties in the previous dynasty. Queen, go back and teach her the rules of the palace. Women from the Han tribe, culture and customs The clothing, clothing, and food are all very different from those in Zhongyuan, so let her get used to them first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lang Hua nodded.
Xiang Nan immediately stood up and walked out.
The concubines couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xiang Nan didn't care at all about Han Xiangjian's stunning appearance. They were really afraid that Xiang Nan would fall in love with this woman at first sight and be charmed by her from then on.
After all, this woman was so beautiful that they had to think of Mei Xi, Da Ji, Bao Si, Yang Yuhuan and other beauties.
"This woman is really beautiful. Fortunately, the emperor is the emperor. He is so indifferent to her, which makes me relieved." Wan Yin said with a smile.
"She is beautiful, but compared to Wen Qing, Ying Li, and Fuling, she is not too outstanding. After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he is rich all over the world. How can he lose his mind for a woman." Ruyi nodded.
"The emperor is the emperor after all. From ancient times to the present, there has been no one as skilled in martial arts as him. Compared with beauties, he is more worried about state affairs." Lang Hua also said, "Okay, let's disperse."
…
In the following time, Xiang Nan did not indulge in Han Xiangjian's beauty, but planned how to annex Poland.
Poland originated from the alliance of the Polish, Vistula, Silesian, East Pomeranian, Mazovia and other tribes among the West Slavs.
In the fifteenth century, Poland began to rise, defeated the Teutonic Knights, and grew into a large country with a land area of one million square kilometers.
But the sad thing is that because Poland started as an alliance, there are many domestic forces, and even the king cannot keep his promise.
On the contrary, those nobles tried their best to limit the king's power. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Polish Parliament passed a resolution to limit the power of the king, which was known as the "First Polish Republic" in history. This was nearly two hundred years earlier than England's Bill of Rights.
Limiting the king's power seems to be a good thing. But as the saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. Without a leader, the major Polish nobles swept away the snow, leaving the country in disarray, with almost no fighting capacity at all.
Especially at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Polish nobles coerced the parliament to pass the "free veto" bill, which stipulated that as long as one noble objected to any bill in the parliament, the bill could not be passed.
This makes the Polish government extremely inefficient. While other countries have become powerful centralized countries and are concentrating their efforts on big things, Poland has always been wrangling. Therefore, its national power has gradually fallen behind, and it has become fat in the eyes of European countries.
…
Today, Prussia, France, and England are still fighting to the death for the position of European hegemony, and they just can't spare the energy to deal with Poland, so Xiang Nan decided to take action against Poland.
He immediately sent three armies to attack Poland in the name of Poland hosting rebel leaders and supporting the rebels.
Over the years, Xiang Nan has continued to launch agricultural reforms in the Rakshasa Kingdom, which has angered many old nobles, old landlords, old officials, and old warlords.
Unwilling to accept their defeat, they formed a rebel army and frequently caused trouble for Xiang Nan. A sneak attack on a village today, a burning of a grain depot tomorrow, an ambush the day after tomorrow... Although they are all scabies diseases and cannot affect the overall situation, they are still very annoying.
Many of these rebels are hiding in Poland, using the border between Bolan and Rakshasa to cause trouble. After all, the two countries have signed a peace agreement, and the Polish nobles have their own interests, and some of them are also willing to provide asylum to the rebels.
So now Xiang Nan takes advantage of this and launches a brazen attack on Poland.
The ones who acted as the vanguard this time were the free men he mobilized, the former serfs. Their enthusiasm is very high now, and they regard Xiang Nan as their savior and saint.
Those rebels constantly attacked villages, plundered property, killed civilians, raped women... It can be said that they had done all kinds of bad things, and they had long been filled with righteous indignation.
Therefore, when Xiang Nan asked them to attack, they were naturally very brave. With powerful firepower and unyielding fighting spirit, Poland's fragile national defense had almost no room for resistance in the face of such an iron army.
With lightning speed, the three armies quickly captured Smolensk, Minsk, Vilnius, Lutsk and other cities, and occupied nearly half of Poland's territory.
This move scared Poland half to death, and he hurriedly asked Xiang Nan to surrender. But now that the army has moved, Xiang Nan can't stop even if he wants to.
Because annexing territory is addictive. When a country wins more and more battles and annexes more and more territory, not only soldiers and generals are willing to continue fighting, but also civilian officials and people are willing to fight.
Just like the Mongols back then, they just wanted to defeat the Jin Kingdom at first, but the battle became more and more successful, and they fought all the way to the Danube River. If Genghis Khan hadn't died, Europe would have been conquered by them.
England, France, and Germany always like to expand their territory in Europe and colonies after they become strong. The same reason applies.
Only the United States is slightly different, because it has invented more powerful methods of military deterrence and economic plunder. It stationed large armies in strategic military locations around the world, using the name of protection as a means of extortion;
Its more than 700 maritime bases around the world control 17 of the world's busiest sea lanes.
Such as the Gulf of Alaska, the Makassar Strait, the Sunda Strait, the Malacca Strait, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, the Suez Canal at the northern end, the Strait of Gibraltar between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf...
Through these sea bases and controlling these straits, it can control foreign trade around the world.
After all, shipping is the cheapest mode of transportation and accounts for 80% of world trade. Therefore, blocking these maritime arteries is tantamount to blocking the throat of global foreign trade.
Of course, the United States' advanced technology, powerful weapons, and strong financial resources also ensure that it can do this. If it were any other country that dared to play this trick, they would have been thrown away as their ashes.
…
Xiang Nan fought well all the way, and in less than half a year, he had captured the entire Poland and reached Prussia.
At this time, Prussia and England were still at war with Austria and France. England and France were competing for European hegemony and colonies. Prussia and Austria competed for supremacy over the Holy Roman Empire.
