This battle caused the Teutonic Knights to suffer a devastating blow, and the commander of the Great Order was also killed in battle. The Knights' Country fell into civil strife from top to bottom... Read the latest and most complete novel

The vast majority of peasants were dissatisfied with the levy of the knights and nobles, and they all rose up to resist. The power struggle within the Knights became increasingly fierce. Even the local nobles in various cities required to obtain rights because they had to pay high taxes.

Baihua's narrative ends here, and she cannot foresee what has not happened yet.

Xu Hao was very glad that he had played various games, read various books, and surfed the Internet at will. Even if he didn't know the details of history, he could know a little about the Warring States Period and the causes and consequences of the Meiji Restoration. He also knew that the Teutonic Knights later basically gave up military power and became a purely religious organization.

The famous novel "Crusader Knight" describes this history.

Baihua also mentioned a man named Hus, saying that the Holy See expelled him from the church last year and was found guilty by the German Konstanz Committee.

Hus was a Czech. He believed that the Bible was supreme, not the rules set by the Pope and other priests, emphasized that the sovereignty of the church belonged to the old son of Jesus Christ. He wrote the book "On the Church" for this purpose, criticizing the church for deviating from the truth of Christ, greed for money and abuse of power, and its influence became increasingly greater and had many believers in the Czech Republic.

In the past thirty years, the Roman Catholic Church has been in a state of great division. The Roman Cardinal elected two popes, one was Quakley XII in Rome, and the other was John XIII in Avenon. The two competed with each other, causing the entire church to be divided into several factions and its prestige plummeted.

Xu Hao vaguely heard of Hus' name. He seemed to be a historical celebrity, but he couldn't remember what happened to this person. He didn't know how many years later Hus was publicly burned to death, which triggered a long and far-reaching peasant war in European history.

In order to destroy the peasant uprising led by the Husky people, in order to continue the Teutonic Knights' conquest of the Eastern world and to support the local feudal aristocratic lords, five crusades were organized throughout Europe.

This gave birth to a new modern nationalist army in the Czech Republic, fighting against the specially trained German knights.

Riska, commander-in-chief appointed by the rebel leader Tabor, formulated a doctrine. This doctrine was a sample of the doctrines of each team later. The doctrine compiled by Xu Hao could not escape this frame, although it was not effective.

The regulations made ordinary soldiers understand the belief in why they fought, and also strengthened discipline and combat standards, which made the entire army highly motivated and produced a sense of national pride. And consciously fulfilled their military duties, which was all Xu Hao dreamed of. The modern army had combat power that was incomparable to the feudal army.

It is the winter of 1412, the tenth year of Hongxi. Just eleven years later, a clamp gun appeared in Tabor's army, and later a special artillery appeared. The clamp gun did not play much role and could not replace swords, bows and crossbows for the time being. However, artillery was different, and it was divided into field artillery and siege artillery. Field artillery had short-barrel howitzers that fired stone bullets and long-barrels that fired stone bullets and iron bullets.

For example, in the Battle of Thomarica in 1431, the Czech Republic gathered infantry and 5,000 cavalrymen, about 3,000 chariots and more than 600 artillery guns, and the proportion of their artillery was already amazing.

The marching sequence of the Czech army was a vanguard, main force and rear guard. During the march, in order to ensure the army's advance, road construction teams and bridge construction teams were assigned.

These are the same as the new-style army of the Ming Dynasty today, especially the establishment of the Liaodong Army.

The Czech rebel army has the high organizationality and discipline of modern troops, and can fight at any season and at any time. In terms of offensive tactics, modern troops can often resolutely implement the combat will of the main general and will not be easily shaken. This is different from those feudal troops that robbed heavily after winning battles and were scattered in discipline.

In 1420, four hundred Hussians repelled two thousand Kings Knight Guards. In the same year, on Mount Vitkov, the troops led by Jeska gave a head-on blow to the First Crusade Expeditionary Force led by Emperor Sigismund I.

In 1422, near Kutner, the Second Crusader Expeditionary Force suffered a decisive defeat.

In 1426, near Usti, the Tabors defeated 70,000 Crusaders by 25,000 people, which was the main force of the entire Crusader.

In 1427, near Tahov, the Fourth and Fifth Crusades were both repelled.

It can be said that the huge impact of the Husse War has far-reachingly inspired the frequent defeats of the German side, providing reference and enlightenment for various military ideas that emerge in the future, and also shocked the entire Europe.

Later, the Huskyists split into moderates and radicals. The moderates, which were relatively stable in economic and political terms, began to collude privately with the Catholic Church. The national revolutionary army composed of rural peasants and extremely poor people became their thorn in their side. The peasant army had no clear and practical program. After a long war, many people were overwhelmed and felt tired and bored. In addition, the level of productivity at that time was low, and the interests of various classes were very different.

In the end, the aristocratic class and the civilian class publicly betrayed the army, with three times the strength of the Tabors. They won a great victory in 1434. Since then, the Czech Republic has become a third-rate small country and has been annexed by the great powers several times.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xu Hao, but they have something to do with China and the whole world. No matter what is good or bad, who can deny the impact of Europe on the entire world?

In addition to the wars in Czech Republic and Poland in order to resist Germany, the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France continued, and there was a ten-year truce period. Joan of Arc, who was able to boost morale and achieve the final victory, was born.

These wars all show that the dominance of cavalry on the battlefield no longer exists. The idea that infantry can defeat cavalry is spread all over the world. The importance of infantry continues to increase, and cavalry eventually disappears.

When the great enemy of the northern people, which is a cavalry, no longer becomes a major threat to China, Xu Hao knows that he still cannot breathe a sigh of relief, because the new major threat will soon be replaced by Western powers such as Russia. Can the Ming Dynasty successfully become one of the great powers, participate in the game makers of the world, and even be the strongest who dominates the world?

Xu Hao shook his head and thought to himself, why are you doing this leisurely? He is thinking too much.

He picked up a newspaper at random, which was written by Zhu Gaochi to the Censorate. In the past, because he was worried that there were inconveniences in other departments and the people, he occasionally sent eunuchs to investigate, but he had never appointed him. Moreover, there were the Censorate, the Censorate, the Censorate, and the Censorate. Recently, he learned that eunuchs had interfered in the affairs of the Censorate. Therefore, the Censorate could be used to communicate that eunuchs had been strictly prohibited from interfering in the affairs of the Censorate.

Xu Hao had no idea about this. He had known all dynasties that eunuchs could bring, but he did not stop them. The Ming Dynasty would not be an exception.

He also saw that the Minister of Works Song Li was strongly recommended Lin Fang, the head of the Ministry of Works, to be promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, because he was in the control of the water. He was also very happy.

Lin Fang was a juren in the Hongwu period. He once served as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. Later, he became the prefect of Ji'an. He was demoted to an ordinary official because of his affairs. This time, he followed Song Li to govern Huitong River and invented a method of strengthening the river embankment. He weaved wood into large bundles, filled it with tiles and stones, then piled piles and then used wood to run across the pile columns. He led it to the embankment, so that it could strengthen the embankment for a long time.

This method has always been used by later dam builders. Lin Fang is a filial servant of his mother, and he and Song Li are both rare officials of the Qing Dynasty and rare pillars in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the township official Bai Ying was promoted to county magistrate. The flood occurred in the middle of the previous year. Song Li recruited 170,000 migrant workers. Due to the lack of water source in Huitong River, he looked at the water system and terrain along the river in Baijiadian Village, northeast of Wenshang, and met the minor official Bai Ying.

Bai Ying was stubborn and upright. He was extremely disgusted with the powerful and believed that most officials and eat meat were fools. Seeing that Lord Song was dressed in a civilian manner, he ran to the countryside to ask for advice and was pious, so he told Song Li about his idea of ​​controlling water and navigation that he had accumulated over the years.

Bai Ying proposed good strategies such as "borrowing water to sail, and digging mountain springs and repairing water cabinets for Wenji transportation. Song Li was overjoyed after hearing this, so he invited Bai Ying to participate and adopted his suggestion, which enabled Huitong River to obtain sufficient water and greatly improved the shipping capacity of the canal.

Xu Hao was very interested in this and hurriedly searched for relevant documents. He realized that there were three projects to divert Wenshui alone. The first step was to build the Daicunba, the second step was to dig Xiaowen River, and the third step was to build the Nanwang Hub. He couldn't help but be amazed and convinced.

First of all, the terrain of Daijia Village is sandwiched with mountains on both sides. The dam foundation is stable and is close to Nanwang. The straight line is only 38 kilometers away. It is the best commanding height for the Fenwen River water transportation. When Daicun Dam was first built, it was an earth dam, which lasted five miles and thirteen steps to curb the entire flow of the Wen River. Later, steel bars and iron bones were added and cement concrete was cast. Unfortunately, electricity was not invented. Xu Hao said it was a pity.

A tributary was established on the south bank of the Dawen River upstream of Daicunba, called Xiaowen River, which is 90 kilometers long and runs through Wenshang County to Nanwang into the canal, as a canal for the Wen River. At the same time, a rolling dam (shaba) is built at the mouth of the river on the north bank of the Dawen River upstream of Daicunba. When the water volume of Dawen River is small, the Wen River can be blocked from leaking, and it will not affect the water volume of Ji transportation. When the water volume is heavy, it will play a role in spilling, breaking the sand dam and draining the water into the Daqing River to ensure the safety of Daicunba, Xiaowen River and the canal.

Now, after careful design by Song Li and other officials, the entire project will take nine years to connect rivers, canals and canals, and lakes and lakes are dependent on each other, forming a huge water system, making the Grand Canal truly become a major artery of north-south transportation, and will play an invaluable important role in promoting the development and exchanges of the north-south economy and other aspects.

Historically, due to insufficient funding and insufficient technology, the built earth dam was not perfect, and was destroyed by water every year and had to be repaired every year. Otherwise, it would not be able to divert water to Nanwang, and the annual repair cost would be increasing.

Now, due to the ample money and the bold suggestions of many young officials on new technologies, Song Li has obtained the bold adoption of Song Li. He reinforced it with cement and stone dams 150 years in advance, and a group of officials have been left for investigation, asking for instructions to improve it at any time, and starting new water conservancy projects, to ensure that after thousands of years, it can still play the role of flood control and sand blocking.

The Grand Canal of Beijing-Hangzhou started in the Warring States Period, Wu and Yue, was excavated in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has been more than 2,400 years since its local navigation. The Yuan Dynasty has been fully navigation through Shandong for more than 700 years. It is one of many huge projects in ancient China that are famous in the world. The reason why China is known as the four ancient civilizations, especially the only civilization that has never disappeared, the Grand Canal of Beijing-Hangzhou is undoubtedly the greatest project that can best prove the outstanding wisdom of the Han people and the ability of man to overcome nature.
