In the first year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who was inspected in the later Zhou Dynasty, joined Chenqiaoyi in a yellow robe, stepped on the orphans and widows of the Chai family to establish the Song Dynasty, and Mieszko I, the founding father of Poland, also established a unified Polish state in Europa.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was a bright moment. Before the famous sorghum river chariot god Zhao Er staged a donkey drift, the Liao Kingdom was even ready to surrender. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom always believed that his surname should be Liu. The descendants of the rogue classmate Liu Bang think that it is not shameful to surrender to classmate Zhao Er who is also the emperor of the central plains.

After the founding of Poland, there was also a period of prosperity, and it was even once the strongest Slavic country on the Eastern European Plain. Mysko I first unified Greater Poland and Kujati, and then defeated Vialet in West Pomerania. The country, and defeated the German lord Hodor I who was fighting for this place in the Battle of Cedini, unified Pomerania, and later defeated the Czech prince Boleslav II and occupied Silesia.

Perhaps around 960 A.D. may not be suitable for the founding of the country-the Song Dynasty slipped all the way to the abyss of Dasong, and the Polish old watch also quickly went downhill.

In the 11th century, civil strife began to appear in Poland, and the princes separated themselves and acted independently.In the 13th century, the Mongols started their eldest son’s expedition to the west, and their soldiers pointed directly at the plains of Eastern Europe. A wave away.

Poland, as one of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe, was naturally not spared. It was trampled badly by the Mongols' iron hooves, especially in the battle of Liegnitz. Grand Duke Henry II of Poland led an army of tens of thousands to fight against eight thousand divisions of Mongolia. As a result, Poland was swept away, not to mention the defeat of the whole army, and even Henry II, who was in command, was killed here.

Poland was taken by the Mongols in the east, and it was actually not easy in the west.The Teutonic Knights in Prussia next door have always coveted Poland's land and population, and even occupied the northeastern part of Poland for a time-the key is that the Teutonic Knights were attracted by the Poles themselves.

Originally, the Teutonic Knights were just a group of wandering warriors in Europe. They had no territory of their own and no fixed place to live.Until the beginning of the 13th century, because the Poles were at a disadvantage in the battle with Prussia, they invited the Teutonic Knights to be their thugs, and the price was to give the Prussian area to the Teutonic Knights as a territory.

Therefore, after helping Poland defeat the Prussians, the Teutonic Knights did not leave. Instead, they took root in Prussia, established state power here, and became neighbors with Poland. This was the predecessor of Prussia and Germany.The Teutonic Knights, born as mercenaries, have always lived a bloody life, and their force is quite powerful.As neighbors with such a group of people, Poland is naturally at a disadvantage, and a large area of ​​land has been occupied by the Teutonic Knights.

Almost throughout the 13th century, Poland was in such a period of internal and external troubles, its strength declined, and its land was lost. By the beginning of the 14th century, the territory actually controlled by Poland was less than one-third of the original state when it was founded, and the population was less than that year. half of.

Fortunately, at this time, Poland appeared a bright lord, Kazimierz, who once again unified Poland with his outstanding leadership. After that, Poland's national strength increased rapidly, and it soon returned to the list of European powers, especially at the end of the 14th century. , Poland and Lithuania have entered a new level after forming an alliance.

In 1410 AD, the allied forces of Poland and Lithuania fought a decisive battle with the old enemy Teutonic Knights. In the end, the Teutonic Knights were defeated. Poland not only regained the lost ground, but also established an absolute advantage over the Teutonic Knights. For more than a century, Poland has maintained its suppression of the Teutonic Knights, which eventually led to the surrender of the Teutonic Knights and became a Polish vassal in 1466.

In 1569 AD, Poland was formally merged with Lithuania through the Lublin Union. square kilometers.

At this time, Poland has become one of the most powerful countries in Europe. Not to mention that the Teutonic Knights can only be beaten in front of Poland, even if they encounter hegemonic countries such as Xiongda, Ottoman and Sweden, they can fight.

For example, in the Polish-Russian War at the beginning of the 17th century AD, Poland defeated the combined forces of Russia and Sweden on its own, and finally captured the Xiongda’s Moscow, which also laid the groundwork for the centuries-old grievances between Poland and Xiongda. .

It is a pity that Poland's rise again is like a reflection of the light - years of external expansion have greatly depleted Poland's national power. Since the middle of the 17th century, Poland was first defeated by Russia in the east and lost most of the bears; Later, it was invaded by the Kingdom of Sweden, and the domestic wealth was looted. By the 18th century, Poland had declined into a second-rate country. Not to mention competing for hegemony in Europe, even keeping its own one-third of an acre of land was a problem.

In August 1772 (the 37th year of Qian Deaf), Prussia, Austria, and Russia reached an agreement in Petersburg, making Poland a "protected state" of the three, and using about one-third of Poland's land and population as protection fees.

At this time, the old Polish cousin was on the verge of subjugation.

Until Emperor Zhu overthrew the Qing Dynasty with his troops, and fought several times with Sand Goose in East Siberia and Central Siberia, and forcibly took back the "Daming Beishan Chief Political Officer" and "Daming Yanran Chief Political Officer". Biao Cai took the opportunity to turn around, taking advantage of the weak period after Sand Goose was beaten up by Daming, and regained some lost ground.

Looking at the thousand-year history of Poland, it is undoubtedly full of bitterness, either being beaten or on the way to be beaten. Although there have been glorious eras during this period, most of them did not last long.

Most of the days, Poland played the role of the weak. Germany, Mongols, Russia, Sweden, the strong from all sides sometimes took turns to fight, and sometimes they attacked in groups.

"European foot wraps" is also worthy of the name.

The main reason why Poland is always beaten is the geographical location of the Polish old watch - the Polish old watch is located in the core area where the forces of all parties in Europe are entangled. It is a place that must be stepped on when going out, and the terrain of the Polish old watch is mostly plains, with no danger to defend, which provides very powerful conditions for invaders.

Of course, the most important thing is that the neighbors of the old Polish cousin are all ruthless characters. Whether it is Germany, Austria, Sweden, the Ottoman Empire, or Da Mao, just picking one out is enough for the old Polish cousin to drink a pot.

Most of the so-called powerful eras of Polish old watches in history appeared in the cracks of the rise of these great powers. Once they successfully rise, Polish old watches can only stand at attention and be beaten.

For example, the Teutonic Knights mentioned above, although they were once reduced to the vassals of the old Polish cousins ​​and were dealt with by the old Polish cousins, but in the 18th century, the rising Kingdom of Prussia became the main force to carve up Poland.

Another example is that Poland beat Da Mao violently and even captured Moscow for a time. However, this was not because of how strong the old Polish cousin was, but because Da Mao was in a weak period at that time. It is simply unable to take into account external disputes.

Then when Da Mao solved his own internal problems, he cleaned up the old Polish watch as soon as he freed up his hands. Even at that time, Poland was not the main opponent of Da Mao, and Sweden and Ottoman were more important in their eyes.

To put it simply, Poland is like South Korea in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It was in the gap between the great powers, and it was a typical place of the Four World Wars, and the neighbors around them were all untouchable existences. I can admit that I am unlucky.

Of course, not all countries in the cracks will be beaten.If the country judges the situation, it can walk reasonably with its neighbors.Not only will you not be beaten, but you can also get a lot of benefits from both sides.However, creating such a situation requires good strategic vision and diplomatic skills.The old Polish watch is obviously not very good at this aspect.

Take Poland during the second full-scale opening of Xiaopoqiu as an example. The reason why it was divided and destroyed by Mao Xiong and Desan has a lot to do with its own bad showmanship——

The old Polish cousin first took advantage of Germany's defeat and ceded territory to get a lot of lost ground from Germany.Among them is the "Polish Corridor" between East and West Prussia leading to the Baltic Sea.The loss of the "Polish Corridor" split Germany in two, and East Prussia became a German enclave.

Such an operation makes the Germans very uncomfortable. They have always wanted to take back the "Polish Corridor" so that Germany can be united.And it was this territorial issue that became the trigger for Germany to attack Poland in the future.

After retaliating against Germany, Poland immediately launched the Soviet-Polish War, attacking the newborn Mao Xiong.Although the entire war process was almost [-]-[-], the continued tension between the two countries caused by the war also paved the way for the Soviet Union to attack Poland in the future.

Obviously, Poland's two reprisals against Mao Xiong and De San are undoubtedly digging holes for themselves.

You must know that Poland is a country in the cracks, and as a country in the cracks, the most important thing to do is to improve the relationship with its neighbors. To put it bluntly, it is "the best thing to do", and survival in the cracks is the kingly way.

But Poland is so stubborn, it doesn't care about the geopolitical situation, it just thinks about revenge and blood hatred, and in the end it offends both neighbors at once, so that no one will stand up and say a word when you are beaten ——As long as Poland hugged the thighs of De San or Mao Xiong's family at that time, he would not be divided by De San and Mao Xiong.

Of course, even if Germany and the Soviet Union were offended at the same time, Poland still had a chance. After all, Poland's biggest backer at the time was Britain and France.Logically speaking, if Britain and France could help in time when Germany attacked Poland, perhaps Poland still had a chance of survival. However, Britain and France just stood by and gave Poland the greatest spiritual support without sending a single soldier.

The reason why Britain and France stood still was not only a weak government and a policy of appeasement, but also distrust of Poland.

After the end of World War I, Britain and France implemented many restrictive measures in order to prevent Germany from becoming stronger again.Among them, they supported Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries in Central Europe to form multiple shackles to block Germany's eastward expansion.Germany knows very well that if it wants to make a comeback, the first thing to do is to break the shackles that Britain and France put on itself.So they chose to take a shot against Czechoslovakia.

And when Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, Poland not only did not help, but took advantage of the fire and sent troops to attack neighboring countries with Germany.This operation of Poland not only accelerated the subjugation of Czechoslovakia, but also lost the trust of Britain, France and other countries.

Of course, for Germany and Mao Xiong, Poland's move undoubtedly strengthened their determination to do it.After all, this guy is too capricious, jumping around all day, who knows if he will suddenly stab himself in the future?

In the end, in a rather "isolated" international environment, the Polish wives completed the pioneering feat of being divided and exterminated for the second time.

Just such a fairy-like Polish old cousin... It would be fine if this guy only verbally supported the manor owners of the Sand Goose family. After all, the manor owners of the Sand Goose family were having a lively fight with the slaves. And no one cares about old Polish cousins.

The point is that the old Polish cousins ​​were not reconciled to just chanting a few slogans, but took real actions - the old Polish cousins ​​directly pulled a bunch of cavalry, and then ran to the door of Sand Goose in a fair manner, shouting " If you trash manor owners can't handle it, replace me!" slogan, while attacking the slaves of Sand Goose.

The Polish old cousin has attacked those sand goose slaves who shouted the slogan "Who said we have nothing, we will be the masters of the world"!
God is so pitiful, even Emperor Zhu was reluctant to provoke those slaves who shouted the slogan "burn that furnace red", but his old Polish cousin dared to provoke them!
Think back to when Xiao Poqiu was fully released for the second time, the "poor" slaves of the Sand Goose family sang Katyusha and successfully reversed Desan outside Moscow-although there were Moscow is in winter, and Sand Goose's army is in red bear mode bonus, but it is enough to show how capable Sand Goose's slaves are!

Of course, it would be fine if you just provoke the slaves of the Sand Goose family. After all, the slaves of the Sand Goose family still have to fight with the manor owners. Alright - this product is
If it was just a mess between an art student and an old Polish cousin, Emperor Zhu would not have a headache because of the sand goose.

If it was just a mess between an art student and an old Polish cousin, Emperor Zhu would not have a headache because of the sand goose.
