What is the story of the Henry family's dream coming true?

No matter what you rob, cheat or call, since ancient times, the king has never asked the source. As long as he loves his job and is dedicated to his work, he can conquer the country and pacify the frontier, and he is a competent king. ? Henry II himself was a priest with a license and employment certificate. Legend has it that when he was a child, in order to stifle his family's rebellious ambitions in practice, Otto III specially arranged for little Henry to go to a religious school for education, which was equivalent to becoming a monk. What's the use of arranging people with rebellious tendencies to become monks? Zhu Yuanzhang is also a monk. The royal family in Saxony really didn't know the rules of the son of heaven. It was because Otto didn't know the rules that the dream of the Henry family finally came true. On the other hand, with the arrogance of the German governors at that time, if anyone who had the intention of rebellion at that time had to punish Jiuzu, it is estimated that half of the people in Germany would die.

Pastor Henry II's main job in his life was to fight Poland three times. As we all know, when it comes to German history, Poland is absolutely unavoidable. Together with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Russia, Denmark and Serbia, it is almost the most chaotic mess in the world. And this mess has been entangled in the Middle Ages. While these clues can still be found, Lao Yang will introduce the Polish story. As I said before, Poland is a scattered tribe composed of Slavs in the west, and they are mainly distributed in the plain area between the Oder River and the Vistula River. The so-called "Poland" also refers to the plain.

? Tribes are everywhere, which has gradually become a climate and some small principalities. In 966, the powerful Grand Duke Mesko gradually unified these small principalities. His territory at that time was about the size of Poland as we see it now. Apart from reunifying the country, the biggest thing Mesko did in his life was to marry a Catholic Bohemian princess. Under the influence of his wife, Mesko converted to Roman Catholicism. Again, religion determines the fate of the country.

? Mesko was not the Polish king, but he was just an archduke who owned a lot of land until his death. Because according to our previous introduction, Poland has always been only a vassal state of Germany. ? Mesko didn't officially make Poland a kingdom, but his son did. His son's name is Poleslaw, and he later became the first king of Poland, that is, the Polish who fought Henry II in this story. Because he was the first monarch of Poland, we called him Poleslaw I. Why is there a contradiction between Poleswar I and Henry II? Land, fighting in those days is usually nothing new. ? As mentioned earlier, Poland once fought with Germany, but it didn't win, so it had to recognize others as its eldest brother and patriarch.

Before Polles Lao I, the relationship with Otto III was quite good. Because Poland is honest, Otto III can rest assured that he is wasting his youth in Rome. Mesko not only unified the Slavic tribes, but also expanded outward. In this direction to the west, he has been drooling over the Maison area (Maison is now famous all over Europe, studying porcelain making in China, and later becoming the German porcelain capital and the European porcelain center). ? Meissen was then a count's territory, originally belonging to the Principality of Saxony. After Bohemia became a vassal of Germany, he felt that this Meissen should be his sphere of influence. At that time, Henry, Duke of Bavaria, supported Bohemia. As the Duke of Bavaria was an open rebel, a small vassal state like Poland dared not provoke him, so he had to look at Maison affectionately. Count Maison privately liked Poleswa I, and they became allies. ?
