The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 452
Since the establishment of the “Viking”, various countries have followed suit, and official and private newspapers such as “Paris Weekly”, “Pravda”, “English News”, “Domestic Post” and so on have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
The naval battle between the Swedish Empire and the Netherlands became the front-page headlines of various newspapers. After the war ended, except for the “Viking” and “Domestic Post”, seven or eight newspapers in the Swedish Empire did not report, and the newspapers in other countries began to report. Focus on reporting the atrocities of the Swedish army and the English army in Amsterdam. Although there are no cameras, there are still many painters who can’t eat and work part-time in the newspaper office to draw news and illustrations. Therefore, in addition to the evil deeds in the words, the daily newspapers will also have corresponding with pictures.
But the people at the bottom don’t care what the Vikings and the British did. What they care more about is that the women who were raped in the daily newspaper pictures don’t have moles on their bodies, and they look like their wives.
The largest “News of the World” in the Netherlands is the main force in reporting the evil deeds of the Swiss-British coalition. In the early years, he was hailed as the greatest Dutch painter. In recent years, the “adulter” Rembrandt, who has been trampled under the moral high ground, was even invited. In the “News of the World” article “The Wail of Amsterdam”, a charcoal drawing was specially drawn, and the name is also “The Wail of Amsterdam”.
It’s just because of poor printing equipment and technology that this charcoal drawing is a little distorted in the newspaper, but the raging deeds and beast-like demeanor of the Swiss-British allied forces on the beautiful streets of Amsterdam can still be seen.
Rembrandt is best at painting group portraits, and everyone’s demeanor can be highlighted. Therefore, after this charcoal drawing was published in “News of the World”, newspapers all over the world reprinted it. topic.
Russia’s Morozov seems to be in good health in the summer. He has been paying attention to the developments in Sweden. At the beginning, after the news of Dorgon’s death came back to Europe, various messages and undercurrents made him very happy. precursor.
However, Olaf formed an alliance with Portugal not long after, and also led the English Republic to attack the Netherlands together. What is even more irritating is that the Netherlands was too unbearable to fight. In less than half a month, he was taken down in The Hague and Amsterdam, and signed a humiliating peace treaty. .
The North Sea War obscured all the news rumors for a while, and there was no way to make Morozov’s beard tremble in anger.
Now I have seen a newspaper brought back from Poland by a Russian businessman. It is Rembrandt’s painting “The Lament of Amsterdam.”
The old prime minister saw hope, so he sent his youngest son to ask Rembrandt to paint at all costs.
The second son of the old Prime Minister, the Russian Imperial Army General Sorosov disguised himself as a caravan and left Moscow. After being searched and bribed by a group of Viking soldiers stationed by the Finnish Governor, the caravan sailed from the east coast of the Baltic Sea. , riding the wind and waves all the way, it took ten days to enter the North Sea and arrive at the dilapidated Amsterdam.
After visiting and searching, Sorozov learned that Rembrandt had been invited into the castle of the Prince of Orange to be a court painter. He could only pay someone to speak to Rembrandt, saying that he was willing to pay ten times the market price. Ask Rembrandt to do a painting for the price.
It seemed that the wealth was moving, and Sorozov saw Rembrandt the next day.
At this time, Rembrandt was no longer the poor and sour he was before. He was wearing gorgeous clothes and a top hat. As a world-famous painter, he directly told Sorosov that even ten times the price was already eaten. loss.
After understanding Rembrandt’s German, Sorozov resisted the thought of throwing a fist, then took out a box of gold coins, and said in bad German, “I need you to paint a painting similar to The Lament of Amsterdam. Charcoal drawing, but the content of the drawing depends on my arrangement.”
Looking at the face of the gold coin, Rembrandt, although he despised the vulgar Slav in front of him, agreed.
Three days later, Rembrandt gave Sorozov a charcoal drawing, and Sorozov went to the owner of the News of the World with satisfaction.
The next day, a new issue of “News of the World” went on sale, but when people got it in their hands, they found that the front page was no longer a report of the evil deeds of the Swiss-British coalition, but a charcoal drawing, which people recognized by looking at the handwriting. Rembrandt’s painting, after reading the painting and reading the content, everyone laughed, and then raised the newspaper to share with relatives and friends.
Sorosov bought the newspaper and returned to China by boat. When he returned to Russia, he handed the painting and the newspaper to his father.
Morozov read it several times, then nodded with satisfaction, and said, “Yes, that’s it, go and publish it in our domestic newspapers immediately, as well as in Poland, and we have to find a way to spread it to Sweden.”
Sorozov also knew how powerful he was. After agreeing, he said to his father with admiration: “You are really amazing. I don’t think I can find a few in Europe with such an old-fashioned trick.”
Morozov laughed and said with a sneer, “I’ll see how you deal with Olaf!”
After he finished speaking, he threw the newspaper on the table, and the sun shone on the table through the window. The title line clearly read “The story that the godfather regent and the queen mother had to tell – in lieu of the late emperor Gustav II. As a husband, he became a Nordic lion: the Godfather Regent of the Far East raped the Queen Mother before his death, and it is said that he learned from the Western Godfather Regent…”
Below the text is a charcoal drawing of a strong man covered in hair lying on top of a lady wearing a crown, and under the bed is a little girl wearing a crown looking terrified and shivering. bed.
Aside from the three, there is a monster wearing a bear-headed animal skin stepping on a golden lion. The metaphor is obviously that Olaf of the barbaric land rode into the blood of a Nordic lion.
On the head of ^0^, the mother of the prostitute, took the position, and forced the child to recognize him as the father.
…
Because of the evil deeds of the Swiss-British coalition and the two countries won sea power after fighting the Netherlands, European countries are now jealous of Sweden.
“The Godfather Regent Becomes a Nordic Lion” immediately gained more attention and popularity than “The Wail of Amsterdam” after its appearance, and within a few days it became a world famous painting and was reprinted and published by major newspapers.
Because Olaf did stay overnight at the Three Crowns Castle, and also had illegitimate children with several palace girls, this kind of news made people believe it as soon as it appeared.
In addition, during the Spring Festival for several months, people were discussing how similar Olaf was to Dorgon in the Far East, just like the will of God. Now that Dorgon is the stepfather of the little emperor in the Far East, Then Olaf must have also become the stepfather of Empress Christina.
This news is like a bomb, which instantly detonated all kinds of rumors and predictions that had been suppressed by the attack on the Netherlands for several months. Olaf was the Dorgon of the West and it became the consensus of everyone. Seven or eight countries with the worst relations with Olaf, including Russia, directly predicted in official newspapers how long Olaf, the “stepfather” of the great emperor, would live.
All the developments in Europe were quickly made known to Olaf, who was furious at the Rosenberg Palace and even ordered Rembrandt to be hunted down. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
After hearing about it, Heine hurriedly entered the palace, and waited until Olaf was a little less angry before he stepped forward and persuaded: “The majesty of the Three Crown Castle probably already knows, and our queen dowager, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Will it be played on the topic? Now all the spears are aimed at you, and the slightest inadvertent handling will ruin the father-daughter relationship between you and His Majesty, and also affect your reputation in the empire.”
Heine’s advice Olaf has always been listened to. Hearing this, he sat down and meditated for a while, opened his tiger’s eyes, lined his beard and hair, and said solemnly: “Yes, this matter is a big deal, a small one. Xiao, you can’t ignore it, pass my order and drive back to the Three Crown Castle.”
Heine breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Olaf calm down. He was most afraid of Olaf’s anger burning in the country to block information and hunt down the communicator, because doing so in the spring had already caused public complaints, and doing it at this time really became a problem. Tyrant, and it will also convince people that all kinds of news are true.
Now all the strategies are useless. All Olaf can do is to meet and communicate with Christina. As long as their father and daughter are not distracted, they will not be affected, and then carefully handle various opinions and voices in the country. After a few years, various rumors and predictions , even the curse will subside.
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
