Chapter 2251: If kneeling is useful...
The latest website: "I apologize to you, it is my fault, don't punish my country!" Don Larson said.
Nobles are human masters, they only kneel to God, kneel to the king, and no longer kneel to the third party!
This kneeling fell in the eyes of Viscount Don Marques and Don Ruben as witnesses. It was earth-shattering, a deep humiliation, and "Canossa's humiliation!"
In 1075 AD, the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV of Europe and Pope Gregory VII fought for power, and the struggle became increasingly fierce. Gregory VII issued an edict, deposed Emperor Henry IV of Germany, expelled his religious status, and dismissed his subjects from him. The pledge of allegiance.
Henry IV was in a dilemma and had to brave the snow and cold in January 1077 to go to the castle of Canossa in northern Italy to "confess his sins" to Pope Gregory VII.
He wore a costume like Don Larson, barefoot in the snow, shivering with cold.
It was not until three days and nights later that the pope gave Henry IV a forehead kiss to express his forgiveness, and the pope was born in a shoe-making home, which is the "humiliation of Canossa." Since then, "The Humiliation of Canossa" has become synonymous with humiliation and surrender in the Western world.
Now Don Larson has to kneel down and endure the "Humiliation of Canossa" in an attempt to resolve the dispute that he caused.
Helpless Consul Wang Tieshi-hearted, he smiled to himself: "There is no regret medicine in the world. If kneeling is useful, then what do you need a cannon to do!"
"It's not me that you kneel, but our cannon!"
"So, we refuse to accept your apology!" Consul Wang said firmly!
"Please go back!" Consul Wang waved his hand, as if to brush off the insignificant dust from his clothes.
Viscount Don Marques said indignantly: "He has already apologized to you. As a nobleman, he kneeled to you. What do you want from him?"
Consul Wang waved his hand, and the translator made the three previous requirements like a parrot, namely, "First, the Kingdom of Spain apologizes to the South China Empire; second, releases the ship, releases people, returns the goods, and pays ten times the compensation; third, will attack the "Messiah" The request that all the crew of the Spanish ship "São Paulo" of the "A" should be handed over to the empire" is repeated.
Viscount Don Marquis shook his head and said: "This is impossible!"
"Then please go back!" Consul Wang left the meeting room, leaving three white skins.
Viscount Don Marques said helplessly: "Let's go!"
Don Ruben helped Don Larson up, and the three of them walked out. Don Ruben hated and said, "How can they be so innocent, and national events are so trivial?!"
Viscount Don Marques said calmly: "They didn't want to solve the problem at all, they just wanted to start a war!"
"War!" Don Ruben took a breath.
He is also a captain, knowing about the South China Empire Navy PK White Skin Joint Fleet, if Spain and the South China Empire are fighting alone, I am afraid it is dangerous!
The three left the South China Consulate, and Don Larson reluctantly said, "Goodbye, my friends!"
Viscount Don Marques is old, he is used to the world, and suddenly grabbed his arm and said: "You must not do stupid things!"
Don Larson said authentically: "Where can it be!"
It's really possible that he thought of self-determination, but he didn't expect to be seen by Viscount Don Marques.
Viscount Don Marquis said rightly: "You are not doing anything wrong, it is the Chinese who deliberately wanted to start a war, just make an excuse!"
"Escape is not a good strategy. You have to face it firmly. Since they want war, then we will give them war. We would rather die on the battlefield than do stupid things, otherwise you will go to hell!" Tang Ma Kui Viscount Si persuaded.
In Baipi's religious creed, suicide is not in compliance with the canon.
"Yes!" Tang Ruben also said: "Promise me, in the future we will go to the battlefield together and kill all those heretics!"
"Good, good!" Don Larson nodded and said, "I won't do stupid things, I must go to the battlefield!"
Viscount Don Marquis patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
After everyone broke up, Don Larson also returned to his home, ready to wait for the verdict of fate.
His wife rushed out of the house, helped him weep with joy, and the two embraced and entered the house.
...
It was March 17, 1664. The news about Barcelona reached Madrid’s South Garden in the evening. He heard the courtiers read the report of the Lord of Barcelona, Count Don Edmilson, which made the Spanish kings and nobles banquet. Amazed!
King Felipe IV rubbed his painful head with a hangover, bewildered: "What do the Chinese want to do?!"
Felipe IV, King of the Habsburg dynasty of Spain, ascended the throne in 1621, he was also the lord of South Netherlands, Duke of Brabant, called Philip V, and concurrently King of Portugal until 1640, the Earl of Burgundy called Philip Power VIII.
Philip IV was the longest ruler of the Habsburg dynasty. He ruled for 44 years. These 44 years have also witnessed the decline of the Habsburg dynasty from its peak to decline. , Especially after the failure of the Thirty Years' War in which Spain participated in Europe, Spain could no longer return to the pinnacle of European rule. ,
He is smart and flexible. On the other hand, he has a calm personality, indecisive and vacillating. As the king who owns the silver mines of America, he has always spent time and drink.
Hearing the report, someone immediately jumped out and said, "Earl Don Edmilson provokes the Chinese and asks him to solve the problem, otherwise he will be punished severely!"
But someone distinguished for him: "The Chinese deliberately provoke, they want war!"
So the court officials quarreled, and everyone made Felipe IV feel a headache. He said to the confidant minister Don Van den Brooke next to him: "Behold, if I were not sitting here, they would fight. Get up, if you don't need the Chinese to do it, half of them will die!"
Don Vandenbruck smiled flatly: "For our safety, there must be a king here. The kingdom can't do without you for a minute!"
"Hahaha!" Felipe IV smiled faintly, and motioned to Don Vandenbruck~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The latter shouted: "Quiet, quiet!"
The ministers gradually calmed down and listened to Felipe IV saying: "Talk about it, one by one!"
So the ministers spoke in turn. First, the Minister of State Don Van Bronckhorst said: "The Chinese want to ask for money. They believe in the **** of wealth, called Zhao Gongming. As long as we give them more silver dollars, they will be what they will be. Nothing will happen, it will be solved!"
He exaggerated and said: "In Chinese words, if there is any problem that cannot be solved by 10,000 silver dollars, then use 20,000 silver dollars!"
"Hey!" Military Minister Don Marco Asensio stood up and said: "Hearing what my respectable colleague said, it seems like a Chinese is standing among us. Your Lord Marquis really knows the Chinese! "
The Marquis-sama he was talking about jumped in his heart. He really took a lot of money from the Chinese. He is the most staunch patriot in Spain!
In order to prevent his country from being caught in the flames of war, the Lord Marquis firmly demanded peace with the Chinese. He is not a patriot. Who else is?
