Happy Tycoon

Among all the gold products in this treasure, Yang Jing estimated that this pair of golden armor was the most precious.

This armor was not like this just now, but scattered among these gold products. George Bruce was very careful. He found the helmet and an arm guard, so he put these two things aside and continued. After tidying up the other gold products, after this tidying up, we found the breastplate, leggings, shoulder pads, and plastron. After finally picking up, it turned out to be a complete set of golden armor.

　　 This is the real golden armor, not comparable to the so-called golden armors in Europe, but the armor made of gold!

　　 Armor was very popular in Europe and Asia when cold weapons were used in ancient times. However, there are far fewer armors in East Asia than in Europe.

　　 In Europe, there are quite a few so-called "golden armors" that are particularly famous and of high value.

　　 When Queen Elizabeth ruled the United Kingdom, Sir James Skadmore, as a well-known courtier and general in the Elizabethan dynasty, built a set of "golden armor" from Greenwich in 1585. Although this set of armor bears the name "gold", it is actually plated with etched steel, and it is still partly plated with gold.

　　 Another set of armor comes from the German region in the 16th century, named after the Duke of Saxony Weimar and John William’s competition armor. It can be seen from the name that this armor set was used by two people. In fact, the owner of this armor is the Duke of Saxony Weimar, but the user is John William, the Duke’s subordinate.

This set of armor was cast in Augsburg in 1565. The main materials are etched steel, gold, copper, textiles and leather. The main body of the armor is steel, partly plated with gold. But now, this set of armor is also called "golden armor". .

　　 There is also a set of golden armor from England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. At that time, George Clifford III, Earl of Cumberland, was a general who was accustomed to fighting. This armor was his combat equipment. In 1586, it was under the guidance of the English armor master Jacob Holder. Made by the Royal Greenwich Workshop. The main materials are etched steel and gold. The fine patterns and ornate decorations represent the highest level of armor made by the Royal England, which is very precious.

　　 This armor is hidden in the Metropolitan Museum of America, and its name is the armor of George Clifford III, Earl of Cumberland. This armor is also partly gilded with etched steel.

　　 Of course, in addition to these three famous sets of golden armor, there is also a more famous set of golden armor, that is a set of emperor armor, from the famous Ferdinand I. Ferdinand I was the Grand Duke of Austria and the Holy Roman Emperor of the Habsburgs. He was the Emperor of the Habsburgs of Austria and the kings of Hungary and Bohemia. Ferdinand I was a general emperor, and his armor was made in 1549.

　　 It's a pity that this famous set of imperial armor is also partly gilded with etched steel.

　　 But even if the etched steel is gilded, it is still partly gilded. These sets of gold armors that have been preserved since the 16th century are priceless.

　　 And where is this set of golden armor in front of you? This is truly made of gold, not comparable to those partially gilded armor.

　　 And this armor has a very obvious seventeenth century Spanish armor style. When Yang Jing was studying in the UK, he had seen Spanish armor in many British museums, so he knew better about Spanish style armor.

　　 And the gorgeous style of this armor is not comparable to the armor used by ordinary warriors. This is obviously a set of ceremonial armor, not for war, but for important etiquette.

　　 So, this set of golden armor should also be an emperor's armor!

　　 Grid stood beside Yang Jing, looked at the assembled golden armor, and said with a surprised expression on his face: "This armor is so beautiful, is it made of gold?"

　　 Yang Jing smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is a set of armor made of pure gold."

　　 "Isn't that the golden saint clothing? The golden saint clothing worn by the golden warriors of the zodiac?" Grid became excited, and said "Yeah" like a child, "Eat me a lightning speed punch!"

　　 Yang Jing smiled and caught Grid's small fist, and took advantage of the trend to hold her waist, "Do you still like to watch?"

　　 "Well, I like to watch it when I was a kid. I like the Leo Golden Saint Aiolia the most. It's a pity that although this golden armor is very beautiful, it's not as beautiful as the gold saint."

　　 "Haha, what do you think in your mind? This is the golden armor in reality, not the clothes in the cartoon. But in terms of value, this golden armor is not necessarily worse than the gold holy clothes."

　　 "Huh? So powerful?" Grid looked shocked, obviously not believing Yang Jing's words. "Although this kind of armor is also made of gold, how can it be compared with the gold saint clothing?"

Yang Jing smiled and touched Mo Gege's hair and said: "If I am not wrong, this set of golden armor should have been specially created by Spanish colonists in Central and South America and given to King Philip V of Spain who had just ascended the throne at that time. Yes, this should be a set of emperor golden armor."

"Emperor's golden armor? So powerful?" Grid thought thoughtfully on his face. "If it's an emperor's armor, then the value of this golden armor is really hard to measure. But how do you know it's an emperor's armor? ?"

　　 "How did I know? Haha, it's very simple. I judged it based on the source and time of this golden armor."

After a pause, Yang Jing pointed to this set of golden armor and said: "First of all, from the source, this set of golden armor was discovered from the Bashalomu pirate treasure hidden by Bodman. According to the data, it is inferred that this batch of The treasure is most likely something that Basaromou seized when he looted the port of Trebas in 1720, so this armor can basically be judged to be something looted from the port of Trebas."

"Secondly, this set of golden armor has the obvious style of Spanish armor at the end of the seventeenth century, but this set of armor is obviously a set of ceremonial armor, and it is still made of gold. At that time, there was only the most powerful Spain. The king has the right and qualification to wear this golden armor. Although Spain has gradually declined at the end of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Spanish state at this time is still the most powerful in Europe."

Grid nodded, "I know, it seems that Spain was completely decayed at that time because of the death of Carlos II, and because of the death of Carlos II, the powerful Spanish Habsburg dynasty fell apart. The successor, Philip V, completely tossed the mighty Spain apart. From then on, Britain began the glory of the sun never setting empire."

"Well, that's right, that's it." Yang Jing nodded affirmatively, "In 1700, Carlos II died, which triggered a fourteen-year war of succession to the Spanish throne. Carlos II was the most powerful in Europe at the time. The emperor of the Habsburg dynasty of Spain had no heirs. As a result, when he died, the throne of Spain became the sweet pastry in the hearts of emperors of European countries."

"At that time, the United Kingdom had begun to rise strongly, and at the same time, under the leadership of Louis XIV, France occupied Pondicherry and other places in India, occupied Madagascar in Africa, and in North America, in addition to continuing to strengthen its colonization in Canada. In addition to the rule, a vast Louisiana colony was established in the Mississippi River valley. With so many colonies, King Louis XIV became arrogant and made great efforts in the country, including the construction of the magnificent Palace of Versailles and the opening of huge gardens. To show his infinite authority with extravagance and extreme desire; not allow the French to have beliefs other than Catholicism, in order to realize his dream fantasy that there can only be'one king, one law, and one God' in France. Externally, Louis X. The four are ambitious, trying to expand their territory. Their goals are: to develop outwards in the northeast of France in order to obtain natural borders that are easy to attack and defend; to place a prince of the Bourbon royal family on the throne of Spain to expand French power and control Spanish overseas Colony."

　　 "So the ambitious, or ambitious, Louis XIV also began to covet the position of King of Spain. Of course, he was not qualified to be the King of Spain, but one of his dukes had this qualification."

　　Gege said with a smile: "At that time, the relationship between the major royal families in Europe was very messy. Even now, it is the same."

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Yes, it is for this reason that this led to the fourteen-year war of succession to the Spanish throne. After the death of Carlos II in 1700, because he had no son, he set up before his death. The will ~www.readwn.com~ passed the throne to Philip, Duke of Anjou, the grandson of King Louis XIV of France, but stipulated that France and the West could not be merged. In 1701, the King of France declared Philip the King of Spain, called Philip V, and at the same time violated Nepal. But then the Austrian emperor Leopold I tried to let his second son, Grand Duke Charles, inherit the throne of Spain. At the same time, the United Kingdom could not tolerate the dominance of France in Europe, so it formed an anti-French alliance with the Netherlands to support Austria’s Grand Duke Charles to inherit the Spanish throne. Prussia, the German princes, Portugal, and Savoy also joined in. Spain, Bavaria, Cologne and other electors allied with France. The war broke out in March 1701, and the main battlefields were in Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany. And Spain."

　　 "Anyway, after fourteen years of war, human brains became dog brains. In the end, no one took advantage of the fight, and a large number of soldiers died. But in the end, Philip V became the king of Spain."

　　 "Does this have anything to do with this golden armor?" Grid still didn't understand.

"It's very simple. The kingship of Philip V was only recognized by European countries in 1714, and the 14-year war has just ended. There are also many opposition forces in Spain. Philip V took six years. That is to say, it was not until 1720 that Philip V was truly seated on the throne of the King of Spain. And this suit of armor should have been the colonists who colonized the Americas by Spain at that time, in order to curry favor with Philip V. , A set of golden armor made of gold mined from the Americas, and then prepared to give it to Philip V as a gift, but in the end, he didn’t want to be given to him by Barshalom Roberts in the port of Trebas! Finally, here, this set. The armor is here."
