At ten o'clock in the evening on July 2, 2019, Zhao Hongjun completed his 18th time travel. After handing over the gold downstairs, he whistled and walked upstairs easily.

This time I went online and went to Bilbao for a meeting. I was just a host and spent most of my time listening to other people's quarrels. I spent the evening drinking with everyone. It was a very relaxed life.

This time, because of Liu Ke's one ton of gold, the silver exchanged for another 60.8 million silver coins, plus ten boxes of tea, made me a little tired when I moved it at night.

However, now that the trial is about to end, the porter is about to lose his job. Although something is tiring and you are used to it, suddenly it doesn’t exist anymore and you still feel a little melancholy. This is the so-called Stockholm Syndrome.

.

I usually check my phone before going to bed. When the trial is over and I stay in the seventeenth century, this convenient method of contact will not be available again for a while, so I must cherish it.

There has been no new news in the forum for a while, and there is nothing serious in the EuroLeague group. However, the core game group of the EuroLeague is very lively.

Lao Jiu is explaining the matter to a random boss. The Basque people have moved away and are now all floating in the Atlantic Ocean in another time and space. Only the AK Company is left to protect Lao Jiu. This is enough.

The huge arsenal was divided into three by Lao Jiu, and part of it was sent to Toulon. As Lao Jiu's contribution to the European League, after the European League is officially established, An Nuan will count the contributions of each member.

Lao Jiu just asked any big guy to pay attention to receive it the next time he comes online.

The other two parts are temporarily sent to Havana. When Laojiu arrives in Maya, another part will be dismantled as part of the industry of the Mayan Empire.

The rights to own the iron ore in Bilbao were returned to King Philip IV of Spain, but the European Union obtained the priority to purchase the iron ore. After that, the arsenal continued to operate, and after meeting the needs of the European Union, the Spaniards obtained weapons.

right of first refusal.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck. Spain, which had always been the key target of the travelers, after getting rid of the huge and dysfunctional colony, transformed into a hardcore member of the European Union. There is nothing better than a dog in the world.

this.

Of course, it is impossible to sell the latest weapons to Spain, but the simple requirement of being the most sophisticated among the European powers can always be met. This is tacitly understood by both parties.

Doctor Chen cannot attack Crimea for the time being, so he is actively reorganizing the army and using large sums of money from Zhao Hongjun to expand the army and train troops.

The small town of Azov was completely destroyed by Dr. Chen's 20,000-strong army. Doctor Chen is building a new city of Rostov at the mouth of the Don River. The name of Count Azov does not live up to his name. He should be called Count Rostov.

An army of 300,000 well-equipped Cossacks gathered around Rostov. The Crimeans were frightened overnight, and the nobles had quietly sent their families to Istanbul.

Without the effect of a surprise attack, Dr. Chen's grand plan of taking over the harem of Laig Khan would be difficult to realize.

This unprecedentedly powerful Cossack force not only frightened the Crimeans, but also worried the Ottomans. The nearby Circassian tribes in the Manech Depression were also at a loss.

The Circassians were originally subjects of the Ottoman Empire and had been participating in the wars between the Ottomans and the Austrians as servant troops. The Ottomans also had a Circassian Sultana in their harem.

However, with the rise of the Abbasid Empire in Persia, the Caucasus Mountains are no longer owned by the Ottoman Empire. Azov is now lost again, and the Circassians have now cut off contact with the Ottoman Empire.

The leaders of Circassia tried to contact Dr. Chen and wanted to surrender to this sudden rise of Cossack forces, but Dr. Chen drove them back. The Manech Depression was the territory that Dr. Chen had reserved, and they wanted to capture and control it.

, enfeoffed to subordinates, those who surrendered did not want it.

Now the Circassians were so frightened that they could not defeat them and no one wanted to surrender. Now they have fled in large numbers and migrated to Central Asia.

The poor Circassians didn't know that Central Asia was actually not a safe place. In this seventeenth century, when tigers and wolves were everywhere, there was really no room for weak people to survive.

The Persians from the Caucasus Mountains sent envoys with generous gifts and agreed to fight the Ottomans with Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen accepted the gift, but did not agree to any conditions. He just said arrogantly that seeing how respectful you are,

I won’t hit you for now.

It is said that Abbas I, who was ill, kicked over the table, pointed to the north and cursed Dr. Chen for being ignorant. Dr. Chen heard about it and just replied, "Withered bones in the grave!"

Even Dr. Chen's current master, the Russian Empire, feels that something is not right. The military strength of this force has quickly surpassed that of the Tsar. It is already too late to check and suppress him. Who knows if Dr. Chen will go to Moscow if he is unhappy?

come over?

The newly crowned Count of Azov has a big tail and is no longer controllable.

Fortunately, Dr. Chen seems to be very submissive at the moment. The Patriarch and Duke Porzasky have discussed it. It is best to have a Russian princess or something to marry Dr. Chen. Even if Dr. Chen comes back and takes over the world, it will be nothing but flesh.

Rotten in the pot.

However, the Romanov family was thin, and the Tsar's wife died just three months after their marriage. He is now a widower with no descendants and no sisters to marry off.

The Patriarch lamented that the fertility of an emperor or king was an important indicator in a feudal country. Look at the Habsburgs, who built the powerful Holy Roman Empire through marriage, and the lower half of the castle is famous all over the world. We don't have that advantage.

.

The marriage was not feasible, and after long discussions, the Patriarch finally appointed Dr. Chen as Grand Master of the Cossack Knights, recognizing the legal legitimacy of this Cossack force.

This was a huge concession for Russia. So far, after the Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta, and the Teutonic Knights, another knighthood has emerged, and it is affiliated with the Orthodox Church.

Kings hate the Knights. They don't listen to the king's orders, don't pay taxes, and belong directly to the Pope. This is a challenge to the royal power. Kings and emperors who are a little bit ambitious will work hard to suppress it.

The then-famous Knights Templar were wiped out by King Philip IV of France. Because he owed a huge debt to the Knights and had difficulty repaying the money, Philip IV simply killed the creditor. It is very likely that the future Gulf overlord Silkwood invaded.

Kuwaiti style.

The reason why the Orthodox Church has never had a knighthood is because the rule of the Tsar is very stable and there is no soil for the birth of the knighthood.

Now that Dr. Chen is bullying his master, the Tsar can no longer control him. Instead of waiting for him to think of rebellion, it is better to recognize his special status and appease him.

This is equivalent to establishing a new political force that can talk to the country on an equal footing. Dr. Chen has been able to confer knights on his own in large numbers, no different from a king.

However, although Dr. Chen no longer has to listen to the Tsar, and the Knights are theoretically under the control of the Patriarch, Russia still maintains a certain amount of face.

Moreover, the Count of Azov has not been invalidated. What if Dr. Chen is willing to continue to be loyal to the Tsar? This leaves a lot of room.

Dr. Chen was very satisfied with his appointment as Grand Commander, and immediately ordered someone to make a new flag with a white cross. The heroism of heaven and earth has remained awe-inspiring for thousands of years, and he can be regarded as a new monarch.
