The emperor of Long Yan has basically become a mascot.
The king of Britain only retained some less important powers.
Although France is powerful and is undergoing an industrial revolution, Louis XV, the emperor of France, lives in Paris.
But it still monopolizes power, a bloated government, and serious internal struggles.
Because the friction between the rapidly rising merchants of the Industrial Revolution and the old aristocracy became increasingly serious.
The strength of the empire relied on these businessmen who became rich during the Industrial Revolution.
The old nobles relied on hereditary merits, and their ancestors' money had long been squandered by them.
If they want to maintain their current decent life, they can only continue to exploit businessmen or farmers.
If businessmen have money, they can marry nobles and make their descendants nobles. Some businessmen can even use their capital to force the French royal family to grant them titles.
These wealthy businessmen will become the new nobility.
Although this eased the conflicts between the nobility and merchants, it did not change the essence of the French Empire's problems.
And in France, a Catholic country, they respect the supremacy of divine authority.
He received orders to fully support the poor Catholics in Egypt, and at the same time cooperate with the Holy Crusaders to exterminate those evil Protestants.
The Emperor of France would not refuse the Pope's order.
Therefore, there is a special group of people in France. Nobles with high status have to give way when they see them.
That is the Catholic clergy.
Although Sachar is far away from France, he is deeply involved in it.
He was very touched by this.
The declining French empire had no strength left.
Egypt was originally a very important strategic area for the empire, but France was unable to provide assistance to Egypt, even after the port fell.
Sashar asked for support many times, but the reply was perfunctory and asked Sashar to find a way on his own.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Pope launched a holy war not long ago, and France immediately sent troops to form the Holy Crusade.
Crusade against Prussia and the Longyan Army, but ignored the life and death of Egypt.
Sashar felt a little shaken in his heart. The development of the industrial revolution broke some of his common sense.
…
At this moment, in Europe, Ling Chen's army advanced into the border city of Prussia.
Instead of continuing to move forward, a base was established here to prevent the Austrians from counterattacking.
At the same time, Ling Chen needed to expand here and gather the power of the Protestant religion.
Establishing a popular base allowed Long Yan to really gain a foothold in Europe.
Winter is coming soon and it is now late autumn.
After the Prussian civilians experienced the war, large tracts of cultivated land were abandoned.
But now is the time to sow. People are food-oriented. This is what a sage said in ancient times, Long Yan.
Ling Chen knew the truth behind this. The cultivated land in Prussia must be utilized quickly and cannot continue to be abandoned.
After Ling Chen occupied the border city of Prussia, the first thing he did was to ask the priest and Diana to search for the Protestants here.
Send out winter wheat seeds brought from Longyan.
The condition was that after the winter wheat matured, they would collect 10% of it as military rations.
These seeds were finally brought by Long Yan.
These wheats are new varieties developed by Long Yan's experimental department, with a growth period of only five months.
Sow now and wait until the cold European winter has passed before the winter wheat will mature in the coming spring.
After Diana and the priest found out, they solemnly thanked Long Yan and Ling Chen for their generosity.
With these seeds, Prussia, a war-torn area of vicissitudes, will surely be revitalized again.
Now Prussian civilians are either fleeing or dying, and even those who survive have no choice if they want their cultivated land to stop being abandoned.
After years of war, their food rations are not necessarily guaranteed. As for the seeds, they may have been eaten up long ago.
But now with the seeds of Dragon Flame, those Prussian civilians who want to farm still have hope of living.
Diana quickly contacted the Protestants here, or rather these Protestants found them on their own initiative.
Prussian Protestants always believed that the Longyan Army was the Holy Crusaders sent by the Lord to rescue them.
There is no doubt about these Protestants.
Ling Chen met with their leader.
"O guest on a journey from afar, messenger from the Lord, our General of the Holy Crusaders, on behalf of the Protestants here, I offer you my highest greetings."
The young Father Hughes, the leader of the Protestant Church, bowed deeply.
Ling Chen nodded lightly. Although he came to support the Protestant religion, Lingcheng did not understand the direct etiquette of the Protestant religion.
So it was just a simple gift in return.
Father Hughes was stunned when he saw that Ling Chen's way of returning the gift did not look like their Protestant etiquette.
He looked at Diana next to him with doubts in his eyes.
As if to ask why the generals of the Holy Crusaders did not understand their Protestant etiquette.
Diana seemed to see Father Lai Hughes' doubts, and took a step forward and said, "Father, General Ling Chen is not a religious man. He just came to help us because he felt the call of the Lord."
Father Hughes looked enlightened.
When he looked at Ling Chen, his expression changed a bit, from respect to admiration.
In his understanding, this is a gifted person chosen by the Lord. Regardless of whether the other party believes in the Lord or not, he can be chosen by the Lord and guide him to come here to save them.
This is enough to prove Ling Chen's specialness.
Father Hughes looked at Ling Chen again, his eyes burning a little: "It turns out he is the one chosen by the Lord."
Ling Chen didn't understand the meaning of what the priest in front of him said at all.
He looked at Diana, who nodded slightly, signaling Ling Chen not to deny it.
Ling Chen didn't understand the rules of their Protestant religion. When he heard what Diana said, he saw the change in Father Hughes's attitude toward him, and he seemed to admire him even more. of
Ling Chen didn't pay much attention.
"Father Hughes, please tell those who take away the seeds that these seeds can only be used for farming." Ling Chen said with many words.
When he said these words, the expression on his face was extremely solemn.
"Don't worry, General. I will let the Protestants supervise it. They will never eat the seeds."
Father Hughes also gave a very serious assurance.
Hearing this, Ling Chen felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. When we first developed these seeds, we at Long Yan found that these seeds were more likely to attract voles, so we covered the surface of these seeds with a layer of poison. .”
"Keep those voles from eating."
"If someone eats this, they won't die, but they will definitely not feel good. Of course, it depends on how much they eat."
After hearing this, Father Hughes's face instantly turned pale, and he immediately stood up and said, "I'll show up for a moment!"
"Father Hughes, what's wrong with you?"
Father Hughes didn't answer, but he left here like the wind and rushed to the toilet!
