Amadeo I was a very short-lived king in Spanish history. To say that he was short-lived does not mean that he died early, but that the king only ruled Spain for a total of three years.
There are not many records about this king in history, and he is not very famous, but what he did is obvious to all!
The heir to the Savoy dynasty did not have any outstanding talents. In the entire battle for throne succession, he was just like a bystander and did not play any active role.
In the final analysis, it was because he was timid and fearful of trouble. This man did not dare to offend Prussia and France, nor did he dare to offend the powerful generals of Spain. He was like a duckweed, letting people push him.
If you ask me to do it, I will do it. If you don’t let me do it, I will do it. Look at the assassination of General Juan Prim. This is the most powerful general who supports him as the king. Such a supporter of him When a direct line member was assassinated, there was not even a statement of protest.
Just when the whole of Europe is accusing Xiao Letian of being the mastermind behind it, even if you, Amadeo, know that it was not Xiao Letian who did it, you still have to say something out of the morality between allies!
The result was great. Instead of condemning Xiao Letian, he spent more than 10,000 pounds on such a crazy retro-style banquet!
Is this person a coward? Or are you confused and confused? Anyway, to use Chinese words to describe it, it is: "Although his brain is not that of a fool, he is also very stubborn and cannot understand many things!" '
This confused king worked in Spain for three years and finally made a statement, saying that the Spanish people are unruly and difficult to manage, so I gave up the throne and went home!
gone! This king gave up his job after working for three years. His behavior shocked the whole of Europe!
In fact, when he governed Spain, although there were constant civil wars and various waves of opposition, compared with the Spanish Glorious Revolution, things were much better!
This dashing king gave up the throne and returned to Italy to become his Duke comfortably. A few years later, his wife died, and this guy happily married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and his life was extremely comfortable!
There is such a living treasure, no one can do anything about him, it can only be said that he cannot hold up the wall. In fact, Xiao Letian dares to bully Spain and steal your Philippines. In the final analysis, it is because he knows that this king is cowardly!
This is a famous coward in history. Let alone a political strongman like Xiao Letian, he can't even suppress sporadic small rebellions in Spain!
But it happened that such a coward had a righteous name, and it was very easy to extort some benefits from him. This led to a series of actions against Spain, known in history as the Zamboanga Plan!
Today, Amadeo I finally stood in front of Xiao Letian. After just a few hours of observation, Xiao Letian finally found out the clues. He had found out what the problem was with this idiot king.
"Dear Your Majesty, your research on ancient Roman style amazed me. You are really an outstanding historian and artist! Your collection also makes me very envious..."
"But I want to ask you, are you repeating the habits of the ancient Roman era in your life? Just these tableware, eating supplies, etc..."
Amadio said proudly, "Of course! As long as there are no special requirements, when I live by myself, it is a very happy thing to try to make my life as close to two thousand years ago as possible!"
Xiao Letian was speechless. He pointed at the cultural relic tableware and containers with a history of more than 2,000 years, as well as the food. "Do you often use these? And the wine, what you drink is all brewed by ancient methods? According to the ancient Roman era craftsmanship?”
The king nodded and said, "Yes, I have four large wineries of my own, which specialize in brewing the oldest wine for me. All the technological processes are in accordance with the records in ancient books. Even the wine-making equipment can be used as long as it can use cultural relics." They don’t know how to use modern products!”
Come on, Xiao Letian said nothing. The root cause of all the problems was found. He reached out and hooked the maid holding the wine jar, and the blond Italian girl came over.
Xiao Letian knocked on the patterned metal wine bottle in the girl's arms, "Made of lead? Well, it must be, this was the most commonly used metal among the citizens in ancient Rome..."
The maid poured a glass of wine into Xiao Letian's lead glass. The head of state took a sip and his expression changed. He sighed inwardly, 'Sure enough, the sour taste has a special sweetness that is not fructose...'
Xiao Letian put down his wine glass and pointed at the golden cup. "I still prefer French champagne. I'm really sorry. I'm not a big fan of Rome. Can you change champagne for me and my subordinates?"
"Okay! There is plenty of fine wine in my wine cellar, no problem...but have you discovered anything?"
Xiao Letian quickly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I just feel that your pomp is too big!"
Why is it so grand? What comes to Xiao Letian's mind is a series of research papers from his previous life in the 21st century, where he conducted in-depth research on the fall of the ancient Roman Empire.
One of the results of pathological research is that during the prosperity of the ancient Roman Empire, lead poisoning occurred in large numbers from nobles to ordinary people.
The empire has long disappeared into the dust of history, but science can allow people to understand the truth of that period. In the archaeology of countless tombs, scientists conducted tests on corpses from many eras and found that many corpses contained excessive amounts of lead.
Moreover, in archaeological discoveries, a large number of lead pipes, lead tableware, lead mines, lead blocks were unearthed in the ancient Roman area... After research, it was finally concluded that the Romans once regarded lead as a very common daily metal.
Lead is poisonous. Modern people know this, but ancient people did not!
In the eyes of ancient people, lead is an excellent metal with a low melting point, easy to manufacture, and a shining silver color that is close to silver!
The reserves of lead in the earth are very high, and the metal is very malleable. It is very convenient to use it to make utensils, and it was deeply loved by the citizens of ancient Rome.
Of course, the aristocratic class must have gold and silver vessels in their homes, but when there was no need to perform in daily life, the aristocrats also used lead vessels.
And there is another very fatal problem, that is, many of the drinking water pipes in Roman cities were made of lead pipes, which contaminated the clean drinking water.
Lead poison was everywhere, and the entire Roman society was enveloped in it!
Although lead particles do not dissolve quickly, and human poisoning will not be as fatal as in later generations of factories, it cannot withstand pollution every day, month after month, and year after year!
The damage caused over time is the most terrible, and there is another reason that is even more terrible, and that is alcoholism!
