【1180 Alexander I of Bulgaria】
The situation in the Principality of Bulgaria is also complicated.
Although the Duchy of Bulgaria was freed from the shackles of the Ottoman Turkish Empire with the support of Germany and Austria, it did not escape the influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Germany had a strong influence in the Duchy of Bulgaria.
What made Emperor Hua most wary of was that in addition to the influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany, there were also Tsarist Russia's forces, and Tsarist Russia's forces were even stronger than Germany and Austria's forces!
Tsarist Russia has always been drooling at the Bulgarian Kingdom.
The leader of the Principality of Bulgaria is now Alexander I.
He was the second son of his father, Alexander, Grand Duke of Hesse, and his mother, Eulia Theresa von Hawke, Earl of Poland.
In 1858, Alexander, who was only one year old, was named Prince Batenberg.
In his youth, Alexander served in the Prussian army and began to serve in the Russian army in 1877. During the 10th Russian-Turkish War, Alexander participated in the war.
After the war, the Berlin Conference was held in Germany in the summer of 1878. Bulgaria and Serbia gained autonomy, but were still ruled by Turkey. Bulgaria was divided into three: the Duchy of Bulgaria in the north, Eastern Rumilia in the south, and Macedonia in the south.
According to the recommendation of the First National Assembly of Bulgaria, founded by the Berlin Conference, he was appointed as the first Grand Duke in April 1879, for Alexander I.
The political situation in the Balkans at the end of the 19th century was turbulent, with all forces intertwined, and nationalism rose unprecedentedly.
But this led to his intensification of conflicts with liberals. At the same time, Alexander began to seek British support and welcomed German and Austrian forces into his country.
However, according to information from the China Bureau of Statistics, Alexander I was pro-German, Austria and anti-Tsarist Russia, which is why the Emperor of China wanted to visit the Principality of Bulgaria.
"Your Majesty, I think we will stay in the Kingdom of Bulgaria for a little more than one or two days, and then leave quickly. It is not very safe here." Princess Katrina Kaif reminded.
Emperor Hua understood what Princess Katrina Kaif meant, "Are you referring to that Konstantinov?"
"Yes, it's Konstantinov. Although the nominal kingdom of Bulgaria was Alexander I, the army was in the hands of the leader of the parliament, Konstantinov. He was a pro-Tsarist Russian officer! He was afraid that Tsarist Russia would make trouble because of the arrival of His Majesty." Princess Katrina Kaf nodded.
The cute president fell into deep thought and wanted to come to the Kingdom of Bulgaria. This was what he insisted on coming, mainly because the geographical location of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was too important. Moreover, Emperor Hua also wanted to meet with the leaders of the entire Balkan region to lay a solid foundation for his future actions in Europe!
The revolution in large-scale machinery industry in European capitalism replaced the workshop handicraft industry based on handicraft technology.
Also known as industrial revolution. It is both a revolution in production technology and a major change in social production relations.
It began in the 1860s to 1880s and ended in the late 19th century.
Britain was the first to have the conditions to create an industrial revolution.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, British factory handicrafts quickly emerged in the industries of cotton weaving, mining, metallurgy, salt making, glass, etc.
Some of the workers in the factory handicraft industry have also developed at the same time, and production technology has been continuously improved. Labor tools have become increasingly specialized, and material and technical conditions have been prepared for the transition to large machine production.
The victory of the British bourgeois revolution provided favorable political conditions for the capitalist industrial revolution.
In the 1730s, Viscount C. Donsend introduced clover and turnips into the field, changed the three-wheel system to four-wheel system, and began the agricultural revolution.
Agriculture R. Bakewell cultivated New Leicester sheep and promoted the trend of improving livestock.
After the implementation of more than 4,000 land enclosure bills after 1760, 3.64 million hectares of land were occupied, making agriculture fully incorporated into the capitalist track.
In the mid-18th century, the expansion of the British domestic market, colonial market and foreign markets led to great development of the cotton textile industry.
Water and land transportation has been greatly improved, which has facilitated the transportation of industrial and agricultural products and raw materials, promoted commercial prosperity, and accumulated funds for industry.
In the 1760s, the British Industrial Revolution first began with the cotton textile industry. In 1733, J.K. invented the shuttle and doubled the weaving efficiency.
1767 J. Hargreaves invented the Jenny spinning machine and obtained a patent in 1770.
In 1769, R. Akwright invented the hydraulic spinning machine and founded the first cotton spinning mill in Cronford in 1771.
s. Crompton invented the mule machine in 1779.
In 1769, J. Watt invented the steam engine, achieved epoch-making technological achievements, and caused an industrial revolution.
Made a single-action steam engine in 1776.
In 1782, a reactive steam engine was made.
In 1785, the cotton mill began to use steam engines as power.
In 1789, steam engines began to be used in the cotton weaving industry.
After the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine gradually expanded to chemical industry, metallurgy, mining, machine manufacturing, transportation and other departments.
The chemical industry has developed rapidly. The inventions of sulfuric acid, bleach, hydrochloric acid, and soda are suitable for the needs of textile, glass, soap and other industries.
In the 1720s, J. Masplat and others established factories for producing soda in Liverpool.
m. Faraday invented a new method for the manufacture of carbon chloride, laying the foundation for the chemical industry in Lancashire and Cheshire.
The era after the War against France was the golden age of the British chemical industry.
Driven by the industrial revolution, the coal mining industry has developed rapidly.
Steam pumps are commonly used in mines.
In 1820, the winch replaced manual back transportation, and coal production grew more rapidly, and the United Kingdom became the largest coal-producing country in Europe.
After 1786, the manufacturing of steam engines brought prosperity to the iron smelting industry; the need for arms in the French war expanded the iron smelting industry.
The post-war industrial revolution began to enter a stage dominated by iron smelting and machine manufacturing.
After the Parliament canceled some machines forbidden export in 1824, it further stimulated machine production.
1828 ***. Nelson invented a new method of using a blast furnace to blow hot air into the iron melting furnace, completing the reform of iron smelting technology.
In machine manufacturing, calipers and lathes were invented in the 1920s; in 1838, J.Neismith invented the steam hammer.
By the 1940s, the working master machine could be made using machines, and the main components had been standardized.
At this time, the large-scale machinery industry has replaced the home handicraft industry and factory handicraft industry.
In 1835, the British cotton textile industry had 237,000 workers; the number of wool textile mills had reached 1,300, with 71,000 workers.
The growth of production and the expansion of the domestic market have put forward new requirements for the transportation sector.
The invention of the train fundamentally solved the problem of land transportation.
In 1825, Stockton's 1830, Liverpool and Manchester were connected by railway.
By the 1950s, all major railway trunks in the UK had been completed.
In the first half of the 19th century, although sailing ships were still in their prime in ocean sailing, they had achieved success on ships using steam engines.
There were already ferries between Dover and Calais in 1818.
In 1838, the steamships As and the Atlantic successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
It can be said that the center of the entire industrial revolution is Britain. The countries close to Britain are not weak. The Balkans are also the countries that were once powerful and later weakened.
"It's okay, let's be careful. If the situation is really dangerous, leave as soon as possible. We ourselves are not without security. I don't believe they dare to send troops openly." Hua Huang said.
Seeing that His Majesty was still insisting, Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "Then be careful, but don't stay for a long time."
"Okay." The cute CEO patted Princess Katrina Kaif's little hand and signaled her to reassure her, "You said, why do these European kings have no real power? Including the queens of the British Empire, they are all puppets."
"This is the difference between capitalism. The bourgeoisie came to power and the feudal royal power was untenable, and it was different from China." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly.
The cute president is worried about security issues after he arrives in the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian Kingdom is also worried because it has received the news that Real Madrid is about to arrive, and all aspects are nervous.
Compared with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, who did not value the Emperor of China, and even had some hostility, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, who were later aware of it, but they attached more importance to the Emperor of China's Greek Kingdom.
Alexander I, the king of the Bulgarian Kingdom, had a neutral attitude towards the arrival of Emperor Hua, and did not care. He neither looked down on nor valued it. Moreover, he was just in his early twenties and was relatively young.
Although Alexander I was relatively young, he had ambitious ambitions and hoped to get rid of the intervention of Tsarist Russian forces as soon as possible, overthrow the parliament, and establish a centralized rule with itself as the core!
But in Alexander I's heart, China is not strong. This is one aspect, and more importantly, China is too far away!
Even though the Central Asian province of China is only separated by a small section of the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire between the Black Sea, Alexander I did not think that Central Asia could have a development speed. Moreover, although the Ottoman Turkish Empire was weak, it was still very powerful in the hearts of most people. Bulgaria did not have the courage to fight against Tsarist Russia alone, but the Ottoman Turkish Empire had this strength and strength.
Compared with Alexander I's neutral attitude, General Konstantinov, the pro-Tsarist Russian government leader, was hostile and had already passed on the news that the Emperor of China might have arrived in the Bulgarian Kingdom to the Tsarist Russian government.
Tsarist Russia was Alexander II. Alexander II had little relationship with Alexander I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. At most, he was a distant relative, or even a distant relative.
The news that Alexander II sent to Konstantinov was to find an opportunity to get rid of Emperor Hua, of course, don't disturb the international community and act according to the opportunity.
Konstantinov was not interested in this order, but he knew that the huge contradiction between Emperor Hua and Tsarist Russia was irreconcilable, so he wanted to drive Emperor Hua away as soon as possible and wanted to kill a person with a significant international influence like Emperor Hua without disturbing the international community. Isn’t this a joke?
