Chapter 1561 Battle Silesia

When Zeng Yunfeng entered the Prussian region through the vast Atlantic Ocean, and rode a horse on the Prussian land from the port, it felt a little unreal for a while.

Zeng Yunfeng hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and he was still a bit unfamiliar with horses. Even Zeng Yunfeng didn't directly participate in and ride a horse during the battle in Central America.

Riding a horse for the first time in this world, but in Prussia, seems a bit strange.

There were not many people on the Prussian roads, but they seemed to be in a hurry. From time to time, some people could be seen passing by on both sides of the road, or horse-drawn carriages whizzed by.

Zeng Yunfeng and the others rode their horses towards the inland, and some people kept looking at them.

Zeng Yunfeng and the others were also wearing normal clothes, almost no different from the common people, except that they rode tall horses through the road, attracting the attention of others was unavoidable.

In this era, there are no cars, and horses and carriages are almost the best means of transportation, especially on land.

After walking for a while, everyone stopped in a small town. After a series of sea and land changes, everyone was a little tired, and they had to rest in this town.

Fortunately, they were well prepared and did not cause any trouble.

On a quiet night, the chirping of insects outside is particularly loud. It seems that this place is not Prussia, but more like a harmonious countryside. It has everything you need, and the rural style is not lacking here, almost like an ordinary village in the Central Plains. Towns are not much different.

But the gunpowder smoke of the results of the war has been permeating here for a long time.

The Principality of Prussia is a product of the secularization of the Teutonic Knights. In 1618, Johann Sigismund, Elector of Brandenburg, inherited the Principality of Prussia as his son-in-law.

The Principality of Prussia has only entered the scope of the Holy Roman Empire. It was not a member of the Holy Roman Empire.

Originally, Prussia's territory was not large, but it only got some places, that is, its own territory Brandenburg plus Newmark, Frankfurt, Cottbus, and other sporadic places.

And this time Zeng Yunfeng's destination is Brandenburg.

The Principality of Prussia was merged into the Electorate of Brandenburg until the establishment of the Kingdom of Prussia, and its territory did not change much. However, it has been a transformation of the Kingdom of Prussia for a few years.

Zeng Yunfeng is expected to meet Frederick II when he goes to Berlin this time. Frederick II is the third king of the dynasty. He has just succeeded to the throne for a few years. The West Asian War, this is the reason why the smoke is filled here.

However, these two wars affected the entire European structure, and even in the next few years, that is, in 1756, the Seven Years War broke out. It can be seen that Prussia's ability to provoke troubles is world-class, and it can cause a world war every time.

But this Silesian War was only a prelude to the entire European War, and the highlight of the Seven Years War that followed.

The highlight of the Seven Years War has to be mentioned, because it was a war between the British Prussian Union and the French Austrian Union. This war began in 1756 and ended in 1763. It lasted for seven years, so it was called the Seven Years War. Years of war, but his influence is extremely great.

The scope of the war even spread to Europe, North America, Central America, the coast of West Africa, India, and the Philippine Islands.

This war was caused by the confrontation between the European powers, but the fuse was the Silesian War launched by Frederick II.

The Seven Years War involved many parties, including the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Kingdom of France, the Russian Empire, Sweden, and Spain.

Basically, all the powerful countries in Europe were involved. After Zeng Yunfeng entered the territory of Brandenburg, he obviously found that the atmosphere was a little different. People's faces showed the joy of winning the Silesian War and strong confidence, but Zeng Yunfeng did not. I saw their haste.

The two Silesian Wars were not the end, but just the beginning. The Seven Years' War was also known as the Third Silesian War.

Zeng Yunfeng also took advantage of the gap between the first two wars in Silesia to eat most of Central America.

Because of the influence of the entire war zone in Europe, the two Silesian wars affected the minds of many countries, and Zeng Yunfeng was able to annex Central America with the support of the United Kingdom.

The reason for the first two Silesian Wars was the death of the Archduke of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1740, but he passed the throne to his eldest daughter Maria Theresa.

However, several neighboring countries such as France, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Spain, which had long wanted to carve up the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, refused their inheritance rights, which triggered the Silesian War.

In late 1740, King Frederick raided and occupied Austria-controlled Silesia, and defeated the Austrian army at the Battle of Mollwitz the following year.

In the following month, Prussia, France and other countries organized an anti-Austrian alliance, while Britain, the Netherlands, Russia and other countries supported Austria.

The European war broke out in an all-round way. In 1742, the Austrian army attacked Bavaria, and the combined forces of Prussia and Frank Saxony defeated the Austrian combined forces in Hostus, Bohemia.

In July, Austria signed a treaty with Prussia, ceding Silesia, and Prussia got a part of Silesia.

However, in 1742, Austria made a comeback, once again united with Britain and the Netherlands to capture Bohemia and Bavaria, defeated Spain in Italy in 1743, and then defeated France.

Therefore, the war was provoked again. In 1744, Prussia invaded Austria again. The Austrian army used a logistical strategy to prevent the Prussian army from attacking Bohemia and ambushed Frederick in May of the following year.

But Frederick had taken precautions, the Austrian army was finally defeated, and the Prussian army occupied Bohemia.

In December, they attacked Saxony and annihilated the main force of the Allied Forces in Keldorf. Finally, the Dresden Agreement was signed, and Prussia obtained the entire Sicily. In the Second Silesian War, Prussia made great strides.

This war seems to be over until Zeng Yunfeng reached Brandenburg, but the follow-up has not been fully digested.

After that, the French army defeated the Anglo-Austrian forces on the Western Front and took control of a large area of ​​the Holy Roman Empire in the Rhine region.

In 1746, Russia and Austria formed an alliance. In 1748, Russian troops entered Prussia. France was worried that Russia would threaten its own interests, and finally agreed to peace talks.

The two sides finally finalized the Aachen Peace Treaty, Maria Theresa's succession was recognized, and finally the battle was truly over.

However, in this war, Austria lost a large area of ​​territory, and Prussia became a European power.

However, the conflict between them was not really resolved, so it triggered the subsequent Seven Years War.
