The next day, Hua Huang and his entourage set off for Brussels in the afternoon."
Belgium was one of the first countries on the European continent to carry out the Industrial Revolution at the beginning of the 19th century, and it is at the crossroads of Europe, both geographically and culturally.The capital, Brussels, is home to the world-famous ancient battlefield of Waterloo.The ancient Celts also inhabited the territory of present-day Belgium. ”President Meng snorted, he actually already knew that Princess Katrina Kafu knew about being alone with Catherine last night, and Emperor Hua knew that the number and extent of things would not be less than Princess Katrina Kaf, they all shared an intelligence system, and some particularly important information, Wang Zhankui also had a special line, which would be sent to Emperor Hua for review first.So Emperor Hua thinks that Princess Katrina Kafu is really a very smart woman who makes him feel at ease, and even many times, Hua Huang feels that Princess Katrina Kafu is a part of his body, Princess Katrina Kafu never seems to be jealous, will not lose her temper, but is a little hostile to Zhao Qingluo, Hua Huang knows, it is also because Zhao Qingluo has never accepted herself, which will provoke Princess Katrina Kafu to be prejudiced against Zhao Qingluo."
If you have time, you can take a look."
Hua Huang said casually."
I'm not interested in these places, and I'll accompany you when Your Majesty goes."
Princess Katrina Kafu said."
During the Roman Empire in Europe, the Germanic peoples, Celts, and Slavs were called the three barbarian tribes of Europe by the Romans, and they are also one of the representative nations of today's Europeans.Among them, our old adversary Tsarist Russia is the Slavs, the Vistula River valley in Poland, which is considered the homeland of the Slavs and is distributed in Eastern Europe.The present-day West Branches, the West Slavs, in Central Europe, there are Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Sorbians; The Eastern Antes are the Eastern Slavs in Eastern Europe, including Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Luxonians; The South Branch Slavins, the South Slavs, in the Balkans of South-Eastern Europe, there are Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, Bosniaks, Macedonians, Montenegrins, all belong to the Slavs, among whom the Russians are represented and are proud of their Slavic origin.Slavic means honor, honor. ”When Emperor Hua talked about Europe, he was still very interested, "If you want to understand Europe, you just need to understand these three ancient peoples, as well as the Roman Empire." ”"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the fact that these ethnic groups have always been evenly matched, and they are so scattered, one in the east and one in the west, I think they would use their ability to build a big unified power like Huaxia."
Princess Katrina Kafu said."
Well, maybe, but if that were the case, they wouldn't be the center of the world's industrial development as they are today, and there are benefits to decentralization."
President Meng smiled indifferently and said, no one can change history, the geographical and political blocks that have been formed, he just needs to figure it out and be careful, and he will not be like Princess Katrina Kaf, occasionally a little fantasy.Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic are roughly the three major classifications of various peoples outside the Roman Empire.Celtic was originally very widely distributed, but gradually retreated to Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales.The current Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Breton, and Cornish people are mostly of Celtic descent, and the Portuguese also believe that they were a mixture of Germanic and native Celts who entered Iberia.The Germanic peoples, the ancestors of most of what is now Western Europe, entered Gaul and Aquitania and later became French, Iberian became Spaniards, and Apennines became Italians.Slavs, three branches, West Slavia is Poland and the Czechs, Yugoslavia is the people of the former Yugoslavia, East Slavia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Anglo is one of the Germanic branches, and later went to Britain with the Saxons and Jutes, and merged into the Anglo-Saxons, and later became the current English Vikings are the collective name of the Germanic people in early Northern Europe, some of them became Normans after going to sea, and gradually integrated into the British, French, and Italian culture, the famous conqueror William is the Norman.Those who remained in Scandinavia were divided into Sweden, Norway and Danes due to geography and rulers."
The waffle is okay, I couldn't help but go to the street yesterday evening to eat a piece, the rich honey smell, people can't stop.Your Majesty, would you like to have a piece?"
Princess Katrina Kaaf asked the Emperor.President Meng is very fond of sweets, and said with a smile: "You eat carefully to gain weight."
It takes a long time to exercise to lose it. ”"Belgium is about the size of a state capital in China.But this little bit of a small place is divided into three regions: Walloon and Flemish and Brussels.Walloon and Brussels speak French, and Flemish speaks Flemish.Flemish is actually Dutch, but Belgians consider Flemish to be a little softer than Dutch. ”Princess Katrina Kafu smiled, "Your Majesty, did you say it was fun" Emperor Hua can only speak Chinese and English, and he is not interested in languages, which is still the blessing of Princess Tocatrina Kafu, so President Moe's English is authentic Hawaiian English, but he is very fluent."
In 843, the grandchildren of Charlemagne of the Carolingian dynasty signed the Treaty of Verdun, in which the part west of the Scheldt River in the Flemish kingdom belonged to France, and the part to the east belonged to the Holy Roman Empire.This is also the origin of the difference between the French-speaking and German-speaking regions of Belgium today. ”Hua Huang answered.In the 11th century, Belgium formed a feudal feudal situation in the marquisate counties of Cambrai, Liège and Utrecht, and the countdoms of Brabant, Henigao, Namur, Limburg and Luxembourg.The first cities appeared in Flanders and Brabant from the 10th century onwards, and since 1071 they developed into the first urban communes in Europe, and they developed greatly through trade with Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Byzantium and the East.In 1280 an uprising broke out in Bruges, Ypres and other cities in Flanders, and the city nobility allied with the French to suppress the uprising.In 1300 the French occupied Flanders, and in 1301 and 1302 the craftsmen of Bruges rose up against the French and the urban aristocracy "Bruges Morning Prayer".On July 11, 1302, they united with the Flemish peasants to defeat the French knights at the Battle of the Golden Boot near Kortrijk.In 1384 Flanders came under the Duchy of Burgundy.In the 15th century, Burgundy acquired the territories of Namur, Brabant, Limburg, Henigault, the Netherlands, Zeeland, and Luxembourg.Belgium gradually unified.In 1477, Belgium came under the rule of the Habsburgs, and in 15061713, the Spanish line of the Habsburgs joined the Netherlands and Luxembourg to form the Spanish Netherlands, which was ruled by Spain.In 1713 Belgium came under the rule of the Austrian House of Habsburg.Uprisings against Austrian rule broke out in 1789 and 1792.In 1794, Austria was defeated by France at Fleurus, to which Belgium was ceded.The Congress of Vienna in 1815 decided to annex Belgium to the Netherlands, and artificial unification created religious, cultural and linguistic antagonisms.In 1828 the Belgian Liberal Party and the Catholic Party united into an opposition coalition to fight for the abolition of new taxes and legal equality.On August 25, 1830, the people of Brussels staged an uprising.On 18 November of the same year, the Belgian National Assembly declared Belgium independent as a constitutional monarchy, and a constitution was subsequently formulated.The London Conference of 20 January 1831, with the participation of Great Britain, France and Prussia, recognized the independence of Belgium and guaranteed its permanent neutrality.On 4 June 1831, the National Assembly elected Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg as king, called Leopold I.In 1839, Belgium signed a peace treaty with the Netherlands, which recognized Belgium as an independent state.In 18311870, Belgium's coal and smelting industries developed rapidly, and Belgium transitioned from liberal capitalism to imperialism at the end of the 19th century.In Hua Huang's view, these European countries, that is, occupy a geographical advantage, and close to Britain, the center of the industrial outbreak, in fact, the industrial process of most developed countries in Europe is not much earlier than that of China.Fortunately, after the unification of the Chinese Emperor in 1877, Huaguo began to catch up, if it was the same as the original history, it was slowly swallowed and waited until the Qing Dynasty died naturally, and then a warlord melee for half a century, and then Taizu took Huaguo to start catching up, the 100-year gap would really be cold daylily.Since 1876, Belgium has occupied Congolese territory, Belgium is located in the western part of Europe, bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the south and west, and the North Sea to the northwest.Two-thirds of Belgium's land area is hills and flat lowlands, with the lowest point slightly below sea level, and the whole territory is divided into three parts: the northwestern coastal Flemish plain, the central hills, and the Ardennes plateau in the southeast.The highest point is 694 meters above sea level.The western plains are flat, with numerous rivers and adequate irrigation; To the east is the Ardennes Mountains, with elevated terrain and high forest cover.The distance between the farthest ends of the country is 280 kilometers.Such a big country, but also let the emperor sometimes have envy, if the country is only so big, he managed, can really play flying, however, the emperor now more and more feel that the bigger the country, the better, the more population the better, with the gradual deepening of the understanding of national management, the emperor believes that people, is the greatest wealth, before, he also felt that the population density is smaller, the happier everyone can live.Belgium has a temperate oceanic climate influenced by the warm North Atlantic Current, which flows along its coast, with mild, rainy and humid climates throughout the year.Belgium is poor in natural resources and highly dependent on foreign resources, with only a small amount of iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc.Today, in 1879, the major coal mines in Belgium have ceased to be mined.The forest area occupies 23% of the country's land area.If it weren't for Europe, the Emperor of China couldn't see such a country at all, there were few potential villains, and there was an extreme lack of resources, the Kingdom of Belgium could be regarded as catching up with the good times, it can only be said that the location is good, people rely on the circle of friends, and the country also depends on the circle of friends.Princess Katrina Kafu and Emperor Hua sat in the car and talked about it, but they were also happy."
Your Majesty, will our enmity with Tsarist Russia affect our relations with other European Slavs?"
asked Princess Katrina Kaf."
It's not too affecting, as long as we keep a low profile and don't attack their nation, this has evolved for thousands of years, and there are some feelings between the countries and nations that are next to each other, and those who are separated by a while will have no such feelings at all, and they will even be even more hostile.Because they didn't have a strong subject to support them, you see, the Germanic people, after Germany was unified and strong, more and more German countries began to move closer to the German government, that's what it means. ”Huahuang analyzed."
Yes, after all, it's still one, and being strong is the king."
Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled, and seemed to be in good spirits.Princess Katrina Kaf's relaxation also made Emperor Hua completely relieved, although you are the emperor of the empire, but President Meng can't completely ignore the eyes of others, before he went to bed last night, he was still a little worried that Princess Katrina Kafu would be angry with him and Catherine.At dinner time, Hua Huang and his entourage arrived in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the largest city in the Kingdom of Belgium.Brussels is located on the banks of the Senne River, with the low flat Flemish plain to the north and the slightly undulating Brabant Plateau to the south, with an average elevation of 58 meters.The Upper City is built on the slope and is an administrative district, and the main attractions are the Royal Palace in the Louis XVI style, the Place Royale, the Egmont Palace, the National Palace, the Royal Library, and the Museum of Ancient Art.The lower town is a bustling commercial center.The "Grand Square" in the city centre is surrounded by many medieval Gothic buildings, among which the Town Hall is the most spectacular.The Belgian government arranged the residence of the Emperor Hua in Brussels in a tall medieval Gothic building next to the Grand Place, which was the most exclusive residence in Brussels, specially designed to entertain dignitaries from all over the world.The Emperor was satisfied with the reception of the Kingdom of Belgium, anyway, the Emperor was less and less confident in finding countries that supported China in Europe and backing countries."
Your Majesty, what does the King of Belgium mean I just sent someone to tell them that we are leaving Brussels in two days, and they didn't even say anything about meeting Your Majesty, there was a Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium who showed up before, and now the Prime Minister doesn't know where to go, and really thinks we are here for a tourist" Princess Katrina Kafu couldn't help but complain to the Emperor Hua.t1706231537:
