Chapter 555

The reason for this is very simple. In an era when information is spreading so slowly and some things have to be solved by stretching the front line, people's hearts are very likely to change.

If the Tang Dynasty's navy really rushed out of the Asian continent at this time and achieved certain victories on the distant European and American continents, no matter who commanded this army, he would have almost no need to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Why didn't he rely on his own strength to build another empire?

This is a possibility that everyone will think about when they are in such a situation, so Li Qing knew that such things cannot be forced. The Tang Dynasty is now OK, and it happens that it is a situation where he can manage it himself.

So over the past year, Li Qing made a decision, that is, he might not have asked himself so much to do for the time being.

In the future, it would be great if I and the officials under my command could make the Tang Dynasty a higher level in terms of internal affairs. If I could not, maintaining the status quo is also a good choice. At least the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the king in this area.

Li Yi knew that he must be cautious this time. He had been very proactive in several things before, and the effect was also good.

After this incident, Li Neng knew that both himself and his soldiers were likely to be a little drifted because of the incident in Japan, and then let the Tang Dynasty fleet go further.

It’s not that Tang Dynasty did not have that strength, but now in Li Qing’s opinion, there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to cause any trouble.

This period of the European continent was called a very dark period in history: the Middle Ages.

As the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germans, a number of barbarian countries emerged one after another.

The Visionothic Kingdom, the Frankish Kingdom, the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the Vandal Kingdom, the Burgundy Kingdom, the Suweihui Kingdom, the Lombard Kingdom, the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom and other countries were established. Wars continued between the kingdoms, among which the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom existed for a relatively long time.

As a Germanic Franks, they defeated the Gaul army more than 200 years ago and established the rule of the Melovin dynasty by Clovi. Through their union with the Roman Catholic Church, Clovi occupied all the territory of the Roman Empire in Gaul.

With the continuous expansion of the Frankish Kingdom, more than a hundred years ago, they conquered some tribes of Burgundy, Thuringia, Bavaria and Saxony, became the most powerful country in Western Europe at that time, and established a feudal fiefdom system.

Just a few years ago, the palace prince Pepin became the king of the Franks and established the Carolingian dynasty.

During the reign of Charles the Great, the national strength reached its highest level, annexed the Kingdom of Lombard, seized the Spanish border, occupied Eastern Bavaria, conquered the Aval Khanate, and most of the land in Western Europe became the territory of the Frankish Kingdom.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to send troops to Europe now, it will encounter the Frank Empire. In fact, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be able to catch up with the Tang Dynasty in Li Nian's idea. This is why Li Nian wanted to try to attack the European continent before.

But during this period of time, he found that the benefits of doing so were far less than the risks, so this time he had to let Li Yu dispel this idea.

Not to mention anything else, because China's history has basically been very prosperous, there has been basically no large-scale plague.

But the European continent is different. Their development was accompanied by several major plagues, and Li knew about these things.

And the most recent one happened less than two hundred years ago.

This plague pandemic is called Justinian Plague, and it happened twice in a total of decades, both within less than two hundred years.

There is no clear number of people who died because of this, but it is generally believed that this epidemic caused nearly 30 million deaths in the Eastern Mediterranean. This plague weakened the Byzantine Empire, and Justinian's dream of restoring the glorious Roman Empire also failed.

What Li Neng knew was that the emergence of these plagues was actually closely related to war and large-scale migration. At that time, your fleet may indeed discover a new continent, but the result may be that you brought the new plague over, and of course, it may also be that you brought the plague from that place back. This is a very terrible thing.

So Li’s current idea is that when you are already very strong, don’t rush to make those unknown changes.

Especially the changes achieved through the lives of the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

And at this time, the Frank Kingdom on the European continent was not a situation where the Tang Dynasty could be seen as no match for the same as Japan.

Like the Tang Dynasty, the Frank Empire also has a very complete history. They are not a dynasty without any background, so the Tang Dynasty does not have an advantage in this regard.

During the expansion of the Franks, their leader Clovi confiscated the lands of the landlords who were killed or fled to the landlords and collected them as kings. Clovi used these wealth to consolidate the kingship and continue to expand. He became the largest landlord in the entire kingdom. He won people's hearts by giving his land to other nobles,

Under his operation of this skill, the Frank Empire gradually evolved into a fiefdom system. The king rented his territory to his subordinates for a limited period of time, which also solved the problem of managing huge property. At the same time, there was almost no currency trade in the Frank Kingdom. This was the foundation of the Frank Kingdom, the early feudal society in Europe.

In addition to fiefdom, the Catholic Church became the second pillar of the king. Under the influence of Clauthilde, Clovi converted to Christianity. More than 200 years ago, through his baptism, he gained support from the Catholic Church. In this way, the Franks were supported by the local Gauls and Romans. This also marked the end of the late ancient times of Gallic and the beginning of the early medieval period. The king obeyed his commands by sending messengers.

At an imperial convent more than two hundred years ago, Clovi also achieved the right of the Frank king to influence the naming of bishops. At the same time, he tried to establish a unified church law throughout the Frank kingdom.

Under such circumstances, the Salik Code was defined as. This is a collection of Frank national laws in Latin.

Later, after Cloway's death, his kingdom was divided up by four sons.
