"We are wise people and believe in our ancestors!"

"What...what does it mean?" Most of the Westerners who got this answer found it incredible and couldn't understand what it meant?

"Will you have you without your God? Can you still have you without your ancestors? We are wise and respectful means giving birth to our ancestors. This is a grateful heart and a belief in my wise and filial piety!"

Since ancient times, China has advocated filial piety in the world, no matter which dynasty, it is said that the monarch has the power and the heavenly entrusted to the emperor, and it is just an official statement. How many people will believe it?

Zi did not say that the strange powers and chaos of the gods were caused by Confucianism, which means that Confucianism believed in ghosts and gods, but did not advocate pursuing and worshiping. It is precisely because of this premise that China has lived peacefully in various sects since ancient times, and no sect can occupy a dominant position for a long time and unify the world.

Therefore, the questions about Western Barbarians are naturally answered by filial piety advocated since ancient times, and the most correct answer is.

But when I heard this explanation, the Western Barbarians were surprised, because everyone had different experiences and had different ideas.

But no matter what, this incredible answer quickly spread across this land in Europe at an astonishing speed.

In the Holy Roman Empire, the emperor Ferdinand III, who had just succeeded to the throne, suddenly burst into laughter and pointed to the north and said, "Okay, good defeat, good defeat, shameless things, you will suffer!"

The messenger stood in front of him and was a little stunned. But then he came to his senses and understood why His Majesty the Emperor was so out of control.

Years of war made the Holy Roman Empire so poor. Therefore, after Ferdinand III succeeded to the throne, he did not want to fight anymore, and even wanted to make concessions in religion. It can be said that he really wanted to compromise. But what he did not expect was that Sweden, one of his main opponents, did not agree. If the war develops in history, the war continued, and it took another eleven years until both sides were exhausted before signing the contract.

But at this time, Ferdinand III heard the messenger report that the famous Swedish general, Leonard Thorstomori, who had a headache, encountered the Ming army from the Far East, and was wiped out by the Prime Minister. However, it was not over yet. The army from the Far East then attacked Sweden, causing trouble to the country to be in peace. Such good news made him, who was depressed, laugh out loud!

"Your Majesty, there is still bad news!" The messenger hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak, "Poland also sent troops to aid Tsarist Russia, and was also defeated!"

When Ferdinand III heard this, his mouth opened wide, but the laughter stopped abruptly, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Your Majesty, Polish King Vadislaw IV personally led the army, encountered the Ming army, and died in the battlefield. According to the latest news, his younger brother John II Kazimiz Vassa has become the new Polish king and is actively resisting the Ming army that invaded the country."

After hearing this, Ferdinand III came to his senses and shouted in anger: "That idiot, what kind of soldiers are you going to do? Now, you're dead, you deserve it, you deserve it, idiot..."

He couldn't help but not scold him, because Poland was on his side. He originally thought that Sweden had suffered a major blow, and it happened that he could use troops here. As a result, something happened in Poland, which was equivalent to making him happy in vain. It would be strange if he didn't scold him!

But then, Ferdinand III suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked quickly: "Then the Ming army is from the Far East, what do they believe in?"

After hearing this, the messenger knew what his Majesty the Emperor was making, and a strange look appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, those from the East say that they believe in their ancestors!"

"..." Ferdinand III was speechless for a while, but then he became happy and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't believe in Protestantism, you can send someone to contact you immediately. As long as you have any conditions to talk to our Holy Roman Empire Alliance!"

The messenger hesitated and reminded: "Your Majesty, those Eastern men killed the Polish king, and they were said to have cut off all the killing Polish heads and folded them up. If we contact them to become allies, how can Poland explain it?"

Ferdinand III hesitated for a moment, but when he remembered the powerful combat power of this Eastern army, he immediately threw away everything and said, "No matter how much, go and contact us first. Who asked them to provoke him in Poland?"

Obviously, Ferdinand III was afraid of fighting. When he saw a potential powerful ally, he ignored it. When his subordinates saw it, they had to do so.

But what he didn't know was that his most important ally, namely Spain, would not have the same attitude as him.

Today, Spain is during the Habsburgs. King Philip IV was also very worried about military expenditure due to years of war. In the original history, even with the material funding of American colonies, he could not fill the hole in military expenditure. In the end, he wanted the Gateniloa to share the military expenditure, but it led to the founding of the Braganza Dynasty.

Philip IV had heard about the Ming army fighting in Tsarist Russia before, and he was a little surprised and didn't take it much in his heart. After all, Spain had colonies in Luzon in the Far East, and the former governor of Luzon even wanted to send troops to occupy the entire Ming State. According to the report at that time, the strength of the Ming State was actually just that.

However, later, the Luzon colony lost contact, which was most likely to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. For the Spaniards, it was just a small colony, and they would lose it. Their energy was more about melee in Europe.

But at this time, Philip IV was shocked when he heard the news that Poland and Sweden had been defeated by the Ming army. He stood up from the throne and stared at the person who reported the news and asked: "Is the news accurate? The troops led by Vadislaw IV and Leonard Thorsfumony were all defeated by the Ming army?"

You should know that these two people are famous in the European battlefield and are very good at fighting. In particular, Thorst Fujimori even defeated the coalition forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.

"Yes, Your Highness!" the messenger replied quickly, "Poland was wiped out, and none of them survived. The Swedish army was almost wiped out, and Thors Fujimori fled back to Sweden alone!"

Philip IV confirmed the news, and after a long time, he finally returned to his calmness and sighed: "I didn't expect that just a few years have passed, and the Ming army is so powerful. It's really impressive. In this way, Tsarist Russia is probably in danger!"

After sighing, he remained silent, obviously thinking about something seriously.

After a while, Philip IV suddenly raised his head and said to the messenger: "I will write to His Majesty the Emperor immediately. This is an opportunity. If I seize it, I may win this damn war!"

After saying that, he immediately asked someone to prepare paper and pen to start writing, with a look quite excited.

The messenger below saw that he knew that the king valued the bravery and good fighting shown by the Ming army, and wanted to bring the Ming army into an ally to win this damn war.

Or because he had an absurd draft in his heart, Philip IV almost wrote the letter quickly. He stood up and read it again with the letter paper. He seemed very satisfied. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and another messenger arrived.

"Your Highness, no, our colonies in the Americas were attacked by the Ming Kingdom in the Far East." The messenger was obviously from America. He had just crossed the Atlantic Ocean and finally rushed back. "Mexico, Panama City and other places have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and other places have also found signs of attack from the Ming army. The governors from all over the country asked Your Highness to send troops to urgent reinforcements!"

"What?" Philip IV was stunned when he heard this, with a look of shock on the spot, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong, "You said it was the Ming army attacking? They... they crossed the Pacific Ocean, is this... impossible?"

"Your Highness, they have all captured our place. The Mexican Governor has died in battle. It's a real thing!" The messenger was anxious and replied loudly.

At this time, Philip IV also came to his senses and understood in his heart that a messenger could not deceive people with such a big thing. Suddenly, he sat back on his seat in a daze, feeling a little confused.

Spain has been persisting until now, and a large part of its source of funds is to rely on the material and wealth transfer of the colonies in the Americas. But this alone has made him feel that he has to find a place to find money. Now that he has lost the wealth support from the colonies in the Americas, Spain will definitely collapse at the fastest speed, and this war cannot continue. If the situation gets worse, then maybe Spain may fall apart.

Thinking of these serious consequences, Philip IV panicked. He saw the letter paper still holding in his hand, and thought that he was still explaining in his heart how good the army was. He must bribe the Ming army and make it an ally...

Suddenly, Philip IV was like crazy, and he crazily tore up the letter papers in his hand until he couldn't tear it anymore. Then he threw it out in anger, as if he was spreading paper money. The pieces of paper floated in the air and filled his throne.

"Those Eastern barbarians, Spain is incompatible with them!" Philip IV roared, staring at the messenger and shouted, "Tell me carefully about the situation and don't miss it!"

After a while, he finished listening and thought for a while, but still couldn't help but roaring loudly again: "Dongfang Barbarians, I'm incompatible with them!"

Afterwards, he immediately convened an emergency meeting and finally decided that the religious war in front of him could be temporarily put on, and threats from the East must be resolved first.

So Philip IV's orders were sent one by one.

First, contact the Holy Roman Empire and make his attitude clear. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Ming army attacked Sweden and Poland, both camps fought against them, they prepared to negotiate with the Protestant countries and deal with the Ming army in Europe.

Second, agreeing to the independence of Portugal and the Netherlands is the condition that they must deal with the Ming army together. Of course, this is also the reason why Philip IV learned that the interests of Portugal and the Netherlands were also occupied by the Ming state, and Spain no longer had the ability to continue to suppress these two forces. It would be better to go with the flow and gain allies to deal with the Ming army by acknowledging these two forces.

In addition, Philip IV also remembered that Charles I's messenger had contacted the Ming army before. He immediately sent an envoy to express his abilities and actively participated in the action of contacting allies.

In this way, an anti-Ming alliance in Europe is accelerating its formation.

At this time, another major force in Europe, the Ottoman Empire, was tall and stood outside the city of Baghdad on horseback. Watching his army invaded Baghdad, he said with great enthusiasm: "I think it is more wonderful to capture Baghdad than Baghdad itself."

When his subordinates heard this, they all started complimenting each other.

It has to be said that Murad IV was indeed a great man and the last great man among the rulers of the Ottoman Empire, similar to Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was Su Tan, he often served as a soldier and led the army to charge on the front line. His favorite weapon was a nail-headed hammer weighing 60 kilograms. Murad IV could swing freely with one arm. He also liked to use a longbow and a two-handed broad-blade sword weighing 50 kilograms.

Under the rule of Murad IV, the Ottoman Empire was experiencing the final glory of the empire. According to the original history, he would soon occupy the Mesopotamia again. However, he died too early and the Ottoman Empire had not yet had time to revitalize it, so he died of cirrhosis.

Having said that, when he was happy, a quick horse suddenly came and brought him news about the Ming army.

Before that, Murad IV had already known about the news of the Ming army appearing in Europe through the report of the vassal Krim Khanate. Therefore, he was very interested and asked his subordinates to pay attention to the movements of the Ming army at all times. Therefore, his subordinates, even if he was fighting outside, spread the news as soon as possible.

There is a reason why Murad IV paid so much attention to the Ming army.

The Ottoman Empire actually surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and sent missions to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty many times.

According to the existing records, after the fall of the Timur Empire, the Ottoman Empire began to formally send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. At that time, the Ottoman Empire was called Lu Mi by the Ming Dynasty. In the third year of Jiajing, the fifth year of Jiajing, the twenty-second year of Jiajing, the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, and the thirty-threeth year of Jiajing, Lu Mi sent envoys five times, with the highest number reaching more than 90 people. These missions visited the Ottoman Empire during the rule of the great ruler Suleiman I after the Ottoman Empire annexed Egypt and attacked Tabriz and Baghdad.

In fact, these tributes do not mean that the Ottoman Empire was convinced by the Ming Dynasty and was willing to be the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, the actions of the Timur Empire made Suleiman I feel curious. In the end, the Timur Empire was destroyed, which made Suleiman I use this method to explore the reality of the Ming Dynasty.

If you are strong enough, I will obey you, and you are not strong enough, or if I can beat you, the relationship can change at any time.

Now Murad IV is also ambitious, so when he heard that the Ming army had actually fought, he naturally had to pay attention.
