Chapter 288 The Justice League of Christ (1)

On May 10, 1616, the Paris Peace Conference was officially held.

Under the witness of the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, Spain first signed armistice agreements with Britain and Denmark respectively.

It is a fait accompli that the two countries have withdrawn from the war. The only problem is that the reparations have not been fully paid. Regarding this issue, he does not want to force the other party too much and cause the other party, especially the United Kingdom, to have a bourgeois revolution in advance. Therefore, Philip said generously that the United Kingdom

, the reparations between Denmark and Denmark can be repaid in installments over ten years, with annual interest of only three percent.

Of course, the representatives of the two countries rushed to express their agreement and gratitude for such generous conditions.

Next comes the disposal of the Netherlands.

In terms of history, it took Spain a full eighty years to suppress the Dutch independence movement, but it still failed in the end. On the one hand, of course, the major European countries at that time supported the Netherlands to create obstacles for Spain. On the other hand, Spain was against

The Dutch suppression was really too merciful.

These two points are not a problem for Philip, who is now in power in Spain: France, the biggest source of unrest in Western Europe in this era, has been completely defeated, Denmark and the United Kingdom have also surrendered, and the Netherlands' foreign aid is basically gone.

When it comes to suppressing local people in the Netherlands, as travelers who know very well that the independence of the Netherlands led to the decline of Spain, there is no psychological burden at all when they start: after Morris and others fled abroad, the war in the six battlefields has already

Rudolf concentrated his troops and almost completely wiped out one of the seven provinces of the Netherlands - and then told the remaining six provinces that if they resisted again, he would not mind killing them all one by one. Spain only needed this place, not

We need the rebellious people above. As for you saying that you are a loyal subject of the king and have no rebellious intentions? Well, you can report it and expose it. If you can't expose it, then you will die!

Such an inhumane method is indeed appalling, but it is really very useful.

Therefore, at this meeting, Philip made it very clear: there are seven provinces in the Netherlands, the royal family directly controls the two provinces of Holland and Zealand, and the Prince of Basque takes one province as a canon. The Marquis of Spinola, Archduke Albrecht, Al

The Duke of Wa and Count Barudis (promoted during the war) were each assigned a province as reward for this battle - except for the Prince of Basque, the other four were required to return their original fiefdoms on the Iberian Peninsula.

To the king.

Finally, there is the treatment of France.

As a big country with its own dominant nation, independent language and writing, both Philip and Rudolf very wisely gave up the idea of ​​​​devouring this country completely - in the historical perspective, Napoleon wanted to annex Spain, but was completely delayed.

The Greeks and demons in the 20th century were so powerful that they did not even say they could completely engulf France. We in Europe have our own continental feelings here, and we cannot annex France easily.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't swallow it, you can divide it.

First, southern France, adjacent to Spain's Toulouse and Gascony, were merged into the Spanish mainland - in this way, the Pyrenees Mountains are no longer the boundary between the two countries and a barrier to each other.

Then came the rebuilding of the Duchy of Burgundy - Philip made Carlos, his and Rodolfo's younger brother, who was born in 16o7, the Grand Duke of Burgundy in this life. He also made their other brother Ferdinand the Count of Lyon...

In this way, the southeastern region of France is completely gone.

Then the rest of France continued to be chopped up: Henry and Auvergne, who fought against Rudolf in Sedan, both obtained a fiefdom and established the Duchy of Bourbon and the Count of Auvergne respectively. Louis X, the descendant of Henry IV,

Third, Philip did not eradicate the problem, but sealed Paris and its surrounding area to him, which has since been known as the Grand Duchy of Paris.

The Duke of Longueville and the Duke of de Bazon, who had always been ambitious domestically and had never been very obedient to Henry IV, expanded their territories and established independent principalities.

Next, more disasters will naturally be introduced: the British were able to get a piece of land in Brittany, and Denmark also got an enclave in Normandy...

In short, after such operations, the Capetian dynasty, the Bourbon family, and France, which took hundreds of years to slowly unify, were cut into pieces. Such a situation would only occur if a great hero appeared or a powerful external force

Enter, otherwise France will never be able to unify again.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today. In addition to punishing those who commit treason and blasphemy, we have a more important thing to do."

Philippe, who was only sixteen years old, sat on the throne that originally belonged to the King of France in the Louvre. He glanced majestically below. Whether it was the Pope, the Emperor of the Shinra, or other princes and kings next to him, they all lowered their heads slightly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Philip said: "Since Martin Luther formulated the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, there has been a hundred years of confusion about the interpretation, elaboration, and presentation of Christian doctrine. In this hundred years,

Believers of different sects hate each other, and the power of Christ has been greatly weakened... In the past hundred years, we have completely forgotten Jerusalem, completely forgotten that Constantinople has been groaning in pain for hundreds of years under the iron heel of the Ottomans.

, completely forgetting the natural mission given to us by the Lord!

The Lord asked Archangel Michael to escort Rudolph and I into this world. The greatest mission given to me is to unite all the Lord’s believers and restore the glory of the Lord!

In my opinion, believers in Christ have different ideas and interpretations of the Lord’s will. This is understandable. As long as it is not particularly rebellious and unethical, it is not unacceptable. As long as you admit that you are a believer in the Lord and are willing to

If we follow the Lord's instructions, we will be brothers.

However, although they are all brothers, in a family, it is inevitable that there will be some incompetent or even depraved brothers. For such people, we must be the hands and feet of the Lord and get rid of such guys quickly!

When Spain was doing its best to protect Rome from the Ottomans, the former France allied with the Ottomans to attack Spain. When Spain needed huge military expenditures to defend the glory of the Lord, the seven former Dutch provinces sacrificed their lives for their own.

A copper plate raised the flag of rebellion. When Spain rebelled in order to eliminate these two blasphemers, Great Britain and Denmark were deceived by the devil and recklessly became enemies of Spain...

Of course, we have upheld the glory of the Lord and corrected all these mistakes. Great Britain and Denmark have repented, and France and the seven provinces of the Netherlands have also been reborn. I am willing not to pursue everything in the past.
