Chapter 235: The Road to Conquest Sweeps Europe Since the completion of the Chi Road, there has been an endless stream of caravans and travelers walking on it every day, which has greatly stimulated the domestic economic environment of Datang, so that the treasury income of Zhenguan in the third year of Zhenguan has almost exceeded more than twice that of last year.
The happy Manchu civil and military shouted Long live the saint, and no one objected to Li Zhen's move to build roads, but some people proposed whether to build a few more roads and include the vast wasteland north of the Turks into the territory of the Tang Dynasty......
This proposal was immediately rejected by Li Zhen, what are you kidding?
There is not even smoke in the Great Siberian Wilderness, why are you building such a good road?
Besides, it is a wasteland with no people (Mu Wei and Yan Ya were selectively ignored by him), and you may not be able to see a single figure if you walk a hundred miles, this kind of place that the Tang Dynasty can take away at any time, it is not worth investing too many resources at this time, and after destroying Europe, it is not too late to go back and occupy here.
It is said that the actions of the Tang Dynasty three years ago frightened the whole of Europe, and under the appeal of the Holy See, the major European countries have formed an anti-Tang alliance and are ready to jointly resist the aggression of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Li Zhen doesn't have much expectations for this alliance, European countries have been fighting with each other for many years, and the hatred between each other has grown, he doesn't believe that such a group of countries will really cooperate sincerely, I'm afraid that each has its own mind is their essence.
Even such an alliance may not be as strong as the alliance of the previous family.
Besides, what if they were really united?
Even the powerful Great Food was defeated in front of the spears and cannons of the Tang Dynasty, and these countries that are still playing the trick of heavy cavalry charge, where will they be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty?
But now that people have shown their moves, it is really unreasonable if they don't respond, just after two years of repair, Datang's military strength has once again reached its peak, and the better news is that the Suez Canal leading to the Mediterranean Sea has also been dug up, and the navy can also drive into the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic.
The fact is indeed as Li Zhen thought, when the 500,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty entered Europe, the European countries did not learn the lessons of the fall of Byzantium and the Great Food Empire, and still displayed 100,000 heavy cavalry on the border line, but the Tang Dynasty did not play hedging tricks with them at all, and even didn't bother to open the gun, and directly pulled the cannon up.
After 10,000 artillery shots, the 100,000 heavy cavalry were all wiped out, and even if they were lucky enough not to die, they were all shocked into fools, and there was no longer any combat effectiveness.
And after this war, the elite of Europe was destroyed, and Europe at this time was like a beautiful woman who did not wear a single dress, just naked in front of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no longer any power to resist - no way, these 100,000 heavy cavalry were already collected by European countries, and even the Holy See contributed nearly ninety percent of their knights of light, it can be said that these heavy cavalry are already their last family foundation, although there may still be a little back hand in the hands of various countries, but the number is definitely not much, In the face of the wolf-like Tang army, how long can it be supported?
Besides, even 100,000 elite heavy cavalry are not the enemies of Datang, so where will their backhands be Datang's opponents?
So the European countries were really panicked this time, in the face of the Tang army that continued to advance, they almost exhausted their means, but it was useless at all, they could only watch the Tang army get closer and closer with desperate eyes, and finally invaded their own cities, killed all those who resisted, and took away all the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, and they themselves were also shackled as prisoners, waiting for an unknown fate......
One of the things that has to be mentioned is that Creevey was made a general by Li Zhen, personally led the army into the Duchy of Bavaria, and personally beheaded the enemy who he could not return to and wanted to kill day and night, and now the head of Kra Azenophon, who is now the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Bavaria, and returned to his family with endless glory, which can be regarded as a complete merit.
The war for the destruction of Europe took a year and a half, and the reason why it took so long was mainly because there were too many countries in Europe, and even if the troops were divided into multiple ways in the end, it would still be too troublesome to fight one country at a time.
And when a year and a half later, Britain, the last country in Europe, was attacked by the Tang Marines, and only the territory of the Slavs remained in the whole of Europe, and the rest had all been destroyed under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty.
And the reason why the Slavs were left behind was not that the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to attack here, the problem was that the Slavs' nest was today's Russia, and that place was almost the cold pole of the earth, especially in winter, it was impossible to march at all, and it was actually easy to destroy the Slavs, but in that bad weather, it is estimated that more people froze to death than died in battle, so let's wait until next summer.
After taking Europe, especially after the Kingdom of Britain, Li Zhen issued his first order as an emperor, that is, to announce the abolition of all writing on the European continent, all parts of Europe must learn Chinese, especially the consuls appointed by the Tang Dynasty, they must be proficient in Chinese, which is the first condition for them to be Tang officials - the reason why this order was issued was purely because of his resentment, you must know that he learned mechanical design in his previous life, and mechanical design is indispensable to English, You must know that ordinary English is crazy enough, and the difficulty of mechanical English is several times that of ordinary English, which is even more lustful, Li Zhen originally wanted to learn mechanical English, but it was a full few years, and the difficulty and pain were not enough for outsiders (this Ben San can testify, because Ben San is to learn molds, mechanical English will really drive people crazy, those professional terms need to rely on hard memorization, and the difficulty is not at all what people who learn ordinary English can experience).
In the past, Li Zhen had no choice, he could only come according to the standards of foreigners, but now that he has the opportunity and ability to change all this, of course he will not let it go, and it can be regarded as avenging his previous life, from now on, let Europeans learn Chinese characters with Chinese textbooks, let them taste the pain of learning English by themselves back then - you must know that Chinese is much more difficult to learn than English.
