Chapter 2083: Realistic version of Quanyou


After bidding farewell to the baron, William's face was not very good on the way back.
Yang Cheng asked, "What's wrong? It's like who owes you hundreds of millions."
William shook his head. "It's not about money. There have been turmoil in Europe recently."
Listening to his feelings, Yang Cheng didn't know what to say. After all, this is not something a businessman should care about. Anyway, as long as he is affected by his business, he can make trouble or make trouble.
"Think of Scotland?"
William sighed, "Yes~"
Compared with Bavaria and Catalonia, Scotland’s independence problem is more serious. Not only Scotland, but several other neighbors have independent tendencies. The current situation in the UK can really be called internal and external troubles, so I don’t know what they are pretending to be. What is it, there is still leisure and leisure to manage the internal affairs of other countries, is it because it rains too much, the dampness is serious, and the brain is growing?
As we all know, the full name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
That is to say, the United Kingdom is composed of four parts of the three regions on the Great Britain Island and the northern region on the Island of Ireland, and it is a kingdom.
It is equivalent to the past that Goryeo was a suzerain country to Country Z. Therefore, theoretically speaking, they cannot become a country. They are just a region with independent internal affairs, just like Xiangjiang and Macau are to Country Z.
Therefore, if anyone dares to call Xiangjiang a country, that is the enemy of country Z, don't hesitate!
Have the ability to tell the British that Scotland is a country. Will they be furious?
In several regions, including Scotland, centrifugal force is very strong.
Assuming that the area of ​​England where London is located is the "base", we will find that Ireland has always wanted to merge with Northern Ireland; Wales had been very troublesome if it had not been for the formation of the custom of successive crown princes to be Princes of Wales; and the north Scotland is still fighting for independence.
Since it is "tied together to live a life", it is often regarded as "two couples love each other and kill each other". But from the historical process, Scotland and England "love each other" very little, and "kill each other" mostly.
Scotland had always been an independent country before 1707. Even if England was annexed by the Roman Empire for more than three hundred years, Scotland was still a strong country with independent diplomatic, economic, military, and legislative powers!
In other words, it has only been three hundred years since the merger of Scotland and the United Kingdom.
Prior to this, it is necessary to trace the early aboriginals in England and Scotland. Like many places in Europe, they all point to the Celts. However, although they belong to the same race on a macro level, the Celts are also affected by the long-term environment of their residence. Various branches appear differently, and in the British Isles, there are mainly three major branches:
One is the Gaelic people living in southern Great Britain;
The second is the Picts who live in the northern part of Great Britain;
The third is the Britons who live on the island of Ireland.
At that time, the Gaelic and Britons formed many kingdoms in southern Great Britain and the island of Ireland. Although there was no unified dynasty, the scale of these kingdoms was not too small.
The Picts in the far north are still in a state of tribal settlement, but a very small kingdom has appeared to the south.
When these branches were in small-scale living conditions, the Roman legions of the European continent came across the sea. For these indigenous peoples, they wore iron helmets, wore armors, held spears, swords and shields, and stood in rows. See you once.
I saw a strong Gaelic man slashing away with an axe, and his companion found that he was already in a different place.
In this way, the Roman Empire quickly annexed the southern part of Great Britain, which is today's England and Wales. At that time, there was no such thing as Wales.
After being baptized by large-scale wars, the Gaelic people either died in the war, or survived in remote mountainous areas to accept Roman rule, and some fled across the sea to the west, living in the northern part of the island of Ireland, which made the difference between northern and southern Ireland.
As for why the Romans did not continue to go west or north? The answer is that you have no intention when you are strong, and you are weak when you have a heart.
Originally, the British Isles had no strategic significance to the Roman Empire at that time. In Europe, it was not even a "frontier", and could only be said to be an "overseas island."
It's just that in the process of conquering the Gaul roosters, Caesar's "successful" victory over southern Great Britain is a tasteless one.
Afterwards, the governors appointed by the province of Britannia wanted to continue to expand, and even sent the entire Roman Ninth Army to Scotland, but the entire army was wiped out.
From the perspective of the Romans, the Picts in the north and the Britons in the west were "barbarians", and the two places were indeed wild places with dense jungles at the time, and it was said that there were people in remote areas.
With the strength of the Roman Empire, it can be won by sending troops there, but for a huge circum-Mediterranean empire, there are still many places to take care of, and rebellions to be suppressed are everywhere, and there is no intention to continue to eat this. Block "hard bones".
The subsequent governors did not receive strong support from the headquarters of the empire and only wanted to preserve the existing territories. They were constantly suffering from the southward intrusion of the Northern Picts and the pirates of the Britons on the island of Ireland.
The governors of the provinces of Britannia were still in a state of "self-protection" due to their inability, and continued to build some fortifications, such as the Andoning Great Wall.
But even so, we can still see the unrelenting spirit of the Picts in the north. They were neither to avenge the southern Gaelic people nor to devour the area occupied by the Romans, but some scattered tribes, simply to expand. Own site and looted some materials and went south to Tucun.
In this way, the division between the north and the south of Great Britain became more and more serious in the war. When the Great Wall of Andoning could not be kept and was abandoned, the most centralized emperor Hadrian in the history of the Roman Empire came to power, and his ruling philosophy was at the core. It is to defend the world laid down by the adoptive father Trajan, rather than continue to expand.
The Hadrian’s Wall, built during his reign in Britannia, became the geographical dividing line between England and Scotland, and was also the inspiration for the Great Wall in "Quan You".
After more than 300 years of rule on the British Isles, the Germanic tribes in the northern European continent went south and destroyed the Roman Empire.
There are many branches of the Germans, and they rushed to various regions of Europe in the process of destruction. Two of the branches, the Anglo and the Saxons, travelled across the sea to land on the island. They soon occupied the English region.
At this time, the Roman Empire had just collapsed, and the island was still in a good opportunity without any stable power. The Briton pirates who had been invading the British coast from the Irish Island in the west had been invading the British coast from the west, and they began to land in large numbers and established several small kingdoms in southwestern Britain. , And the Germans could not attack it for a long time.
This area has formed a different historical and cultural background from England-Wales.
Although the Germans failed to capture the Welsh area, they established small kingdoms in England. Through long-term conquests and annexations, seven kingdoms were finally formed. Isn't it familiar? It is the source of the background structure of Quanyou.
The good times didn't last long. In Quanyou, the strange ghost came, but in reality, it was the Vikings.
Their arrival is not like the Romans and Germans before~EbookFREE.me~ You can survive under their rule if you surrender, although you survive a miserable life.
The Vikings practiced the "Three Lights Policy" very early, and they also had branches. Among them, the Norwegians occupied Scotland and the Danes occupied England, so the two places launched their own struggle to expel Viking pirates.
Scotland is led by one of the Pict kings, Kenneth, who successfully expelled the Norwegians and surrendered the previously fragmented Pict kingdom to form a unified kingdom of Scotland. So the Scots are still Picts. .
When Kenneth was crowned, he was sitting on a stone tied with an iron chain. This stone was called the "stone of destiny", which later played an important role.
The seven countries on this side of England united under the leadership of King Alfred of Wessex, the pink country. His descendants led England and eventually expelled the Viking regime, so Alfred was also considered England. The first true king.
But it didn't take long to be defeated by William I, Duke of Norman of France, who took the opportunity to land. From then on, the British royal family continued from William I.
