In fact, the Kingdom of Denmark has been doing simple reform and study of political, economic, military and other systems before. Even shortly after the Kingdom of Denmark moved to northwest Africa, it had already completed the centralization of royal power.
When the Kingdom of Denmark first moved to Africa, the royal family took advantage of the initial chaos and the support of the early Tang Dynasty people to reach an interest exchange agreement with several large lords to strengthen the power of the royal family. It continued to strengthen the power of the king in the following years, and gradually The centralization of royal power was completed.
The centralization of royal power/imperial power was the most striking feature of the Tang Empire.
This centralization also laid the foundation for subsequent reforms of many systems in the Kingdom of Denmark.
In other words, the Kingdom of Denmark has actually been learning from the Tang Empire in terms of politics, economy and military.
But now, they feel that it is not enough, and in fact it is not enough.
This kind of learning only learns some of the most superficial things about the Tang Dynasty people. It cannot learn some of the real essence of the Tang Dynasty people at all. In the end, it can only be superficial. The Kingdom of Denmark was suppressed and beaten by the Kingdom of Morocco several times before. direct evidence.
In order to rise completely, get rid of the label of backward barbarian natives and become a member of the civilized world, what should the Kingdom of Denmark do?
After years of centralization, the Danish royal family finally took control of the entire kingdom, especially after Christian IV came to power, and made a bold decision to implement comprehensive Tangification!
Not only do we need to learn about the Tang Dynasty in terms of politics, economy and military affairs, but we also need to learn about the Tang Dynasty on a cultural level and even a deeper spiritual level!
No!
It’s not about learning from the people of the Tang Dynasty, but becoming a person from the Tang Dynasty!
The idea of the Danes is that when we speak Tang dialect, write Chinese characters, wear Tang clothes, eat Tang rice, and all Danish behavior patterns are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, then we Danes will naturally become Tang people. .
Although there may still be some differences in appearance, at the ideological level, they are the same people from the Tang Dynasty!
When they all have the thinking model of the Tang Dynasty, they can better understand and learn the many advantages of the Tang Dynasty, and then build their Kingdom of Denmark into a modern country!
This is a Danish idea!
Bold and radical!
Even the Tatars are not as radical as them. Although the Tatars claim to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and belong to a branch of the Tang Dynasty, they have not said that they will carry out comprehensive Tang transformation.
There are many things in the Tang and Jin Dynasties that are an extension of their traditional culture.
But the Kingdom of Denmark is different. They are ready to completely abandon their original culture and directly adopt Tang culture as their own culture.
This kind of determination was so great that it even surprised the Tang Dynasty people themselves!
For this small country in the southern part of the Kingdom of Morocco, which was also the first small country in the Tang Empire to migrate from Europe to Africa, it has clung to the lap of the Tang Dynasty in the years since arriving in Africa, and it is very well-behaved.
Therefore, the people of the Tang Dynasty, or to be precise, some officials of the Tang Dynasty who were responsible for local affairs in Europe, quite appreciated this small Danish country.
They still agreed and supported the Danish Kingdom's initiative to abandon the backward and barbaric indigenous culture and embrace the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Encouraged by some officials of the Tang Dynasty, the Kingdom of Denmark is heading towards the road of comprehensive Tangization and will never return!
They first further improved the political, economic and military system, fully imitating the Tang Empire, and began to set up government-run schools, fully adopt Tang language education, and established Tang language as the official language.
In order to achieve better and more comprehensive Tangification, they even issued a ban, that is, books, newspapers and periodicals printed and sold within the country in the future must be in Tang language, and other characters, including their own Danish characters, must not appear.
Any official documents must be in Tang language.
Carry out comprehensive and deep-level Tangization in terms of language and characters, then carry out Tangization at the ideological and cultural level, and finally complete the Tang-hua reform of the entire society!
This is the "comprehensive Tang-hua reform" that has been implemented by the Kingdom of Denmark in recent years and has caused a great stir in European countries, even attracting the attention of some people in the Tang Dynasty.
As for the specific effect, it is not clear for a while. After all, the change in the cultural thinking of the entire nation takes time to settle. The only thing that is certain is that they are still being suppressed by the Kingdom of Morocco.
If it hadn't been for the stubborn defense relying on the complex terrain of Northwest Africa, the army of the Kingdom of Morocco would have been killed long ago.
However, it was precisely because of the tremendous pressure put on them by the Kingdom of Morocco that they were forced to carry out comprehensive Tanghua reforms. Otherwise, this small country with only a few hundred thousand people would be annexed by the Kingdom of Morocco in a short time.
Even if they are not killed by the Kingdom of Morocco, other European countries will definitely migrate to the west coast of Africa in the future, and even the Tatars may migrate here in the future.
How will we protect ourselves among a group of large and powerful countries that have migrated here?
This is the real problem facing the Kingdom of Denmark!
Otherwise, they would not have been so eager to implement comprehensive Tang cultural reforms.
In fact, many European countries want to learn from the Kingdom of Denmark's comprehensive Tang culture reform, but it is difficult for them to learn it.
It is almost impossible for a European country that is still in the feudal feudal system to learn from the Kingdom of Denmark's comprehensive Tang culture reform. It does not even have a basic political foundation.
However, the moving Ottoman royal family, or more accurately Prince Mohammed, intends to learn from the Danish reforms!
He has always believed that although the turmoil in the Ottoman Kingdom in recent years has been affected by external factors, such as the Tang Dynasty and the Tatars, the more important reason is that the system of the Ottoman Kingdom that has lasted for hundreds of years has failed.
Especially the cruel succession system and the new army system, which were simply the source of the complete division of the Ottoman Kingdom!
The Ottoman throne succession system was very special. The king would enfeoff all his sons and let them serve as local governors, dominate one party's power, and then let them compete on their own.
If the king dies, then the princes will fight each other. In the end, the winner will be the king, and the loser will naturally die.
Even if the king chooses a candidate in advance while he is still alive, he will brutally kill all his other sons and even the grandchildren of other sons to avoid subsequent turmoil and ensure the uniqueness of the successor.
This system is very cruel and has directly led to the source of internal turmoil in the Ottoman Kingdom in recent years.
Especially after the king gradually confirmed Mohammed as his heir, the other princes who were unwilling, or unwilling to just die obediently, all tried their best to stand on their own feet.
This phenomenon further intensified after the kingdom lost many areas such as Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, and as a large number of citizens and local pasha dignitaries moved back.
Eventually it completely evolved into a war within the Ottoman Kingdom!
When the Tatars came and the Safi Dynasty took advantage of the situation, the huge Ottoman Kingdom completely collapsed!
The kingdom is over. This is a fact. Even if you want to change it, you can't change it!
But for Prince Mohammed, this move to Africa is a rare opportunity to rise from the ashes!
He hoped that after arriving in Africa, he could carry out in-depth reforms in the blank new territory and gain new life from the Ottoman Kingdom!
And the best example of reform is the Kingdom of Denmark!
