Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Khan, is there something wrong with this corpse? Look at the wound. The arrow was shot from behind.

Instead of from the front, how could we Mongolians be shot to death from behind when fighting the enemy, let alone a prince. Bart said immediately.

The military advisor is really good at predicting events! There is indeed a big problem with this body. No wonder, no wonder you, Batu, are so deliberate in trying to transport the body back.

It turns out there is an ulterior secret!

This kind of arrow wound is very clear to the Mongolians who often crawl around on the battlefield. It was shot from the back of the head. This would be excusable if it were shot at an ordinary soldier, but the shot There's something wrong with him being a Mongolian sect king.

"You, you don't want to rant. Prince Kuolejian died on the battlefield. How could there be a ghost? It's normal for bows and arrows to fly from any direction on the battlefield." Batu's envoy looked at him with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Bart said.

As the saying goes, the master humiliates the minister to death. His master Batu was humiliated in this way. Naturally, he could not remain indifferent. Although his face was swollen from being beaten by Wokuotai, he still spoke out.

"Hmph! Look, Great Khan, we haven't participated in a single battle since the Western Expedition, let alone the sect king.

Even if the eldest son of thousands of households or the eldest son of ten thousand households only appeared in the final victory, how could they shoot Prince Kuolejian to death. Bart said.

Hearing this, Wo Kuotai also nodded, and then looked at Yelu Chucai and Chagatai beside him.

This is asking what they both mean.

"Great Khan! Before the Western Expedition, you said that you would let King Kuo Lie Jian Zong establish his own country in the west. King Kuo Lie Jian Zong is our youngest brother.

Now that he is dead, how can his country be established? To whom does his land belong now? "Chagatai said.

Being able to inflict insults on the people of the eldest brother's family, Tachahetai will not hesitate at all. Batu, you kid really hit the muzzle of the gun this time.

If it were just a letter, the big man wouldn't be able to deal with you in person, but now that Prince Kuo Liejian is dead, there is a way to do it, and it's justifiable.

"Great Khan! Master Batu would not do this. When Kurei saw the death of the prince, he died in battle. He died accidentally." Batu's envoy quickly knelt down in front of Wo Kuotai and said.

"Bhan! It's just an arrow wound. It's very inappropriate to draw a hasty conclusion like this. It requires multiple people to review it." Yelu Chu said.

"Chu Cai! Although you are an important minister of Mongolia, you must abide by the rules of Mongolia. Even if Prince Kuolejian died accidentally in battle, Batu would not be able to escape his involvement. He did not protect his uncle properly. .

It is even more disrespectful. As the most direct relative of Kuo Liejian, Zhang Yong is fully qualified to handle this matter, but he bypassed Zhang Yong and sent the body to me, asking Zhang Yong to send the The pursuers came back to pursue him. "Wokuotai said.

How to investigate this matter? Should I send a team of people to the front lines to investigate? This is a war! Now he is on the Western Expedition.

"Great Khan! Batu is no longer suitable to be the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition. I propose that the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition needs to be replaced. General Subotai and military advisor Zhang Yong can serve as commanders," Chagatai said.

"No! Great Khan! Changing the commander before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. Now hundreds of thousands of troops are launching a Western Expedition. These people are the main force of Mongolia. A sudden change of commander will cause instability in the morale of the army." Yelu Chucai He spoke.

Although Badu was nominally the commander-in-chief, he could not control the entire army's combat power. The only ones who really had the command were Subotai and Zhang Yong.

Subotai's veteran general Genghis Khan was majestic and could command the kings of the Western Path and the people of the Tolei family.

Zhang Yong, on the other hand, can command his own army, as well as the armies of Chagatai and Ogedai.

The only ones Batu can really command are the troops he brought with him and Meng Ge's troops who have already worn the same pants as him.

If there is a change of commanders at this time, neither Subotai nor Zhang Yong will be able to command the troops under Batu, not to mention the 5 troops of the Tolei family. They are dispatched by Meng Ge. This is There are a full people, accounting for more than half of the total number of people in the army.

"It is indeed inappropriate to change the commander before the battle, but Batu did something wrong. Wait until their Western Expedition is over.

After they return to the Mongolian mainland, I will handle this matter personally. For now, I will put this matter down and focus on the Western Expedition. "Wokuotai said.

He also knew that changing the commander before the battle was a big deal. Now Mongolia is attacking Western European countries on its own. If there are internal differences at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops may be lost in the west.

The chain reaction caused by this is something that even the Mongolian Khan cannot bear.

"Thank you Khan for your trust!"

"Although Kuolejian is dead, his khanate will not disappear. I remember that he also had a child. How old is the child now?" Ogedei asked.

It's really not possible to change the commander on the spot. He has also considered letting Zhang Yong or Subutai take over Batu's position before, but this is unrealistic, and it is impossible for Batu to control the entire army. Any one of the three of them can't It is impossible to control the entire army, but Subotai really needs to be beaten.

Let him not get too close to Batu. Ogedai and his family are the Great Khans of Mongolia. He must understand his position.

As for Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai believes that this kid will handle it well, because he has given him a great power. If he has to, this kid can completely reverse the entire situation with this thing. After all, he is the only one who can handle it well. It's the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"Great Khan! Before the expedition, Prince Kuolejian had a three-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter. Now two years have passed since the Western Expedition, and his son is now five years old." A Mongolian official knelt down. On the ground, he spoke.

"Yes! According to my instructions, the child will be sent to the Western Expedition camp immediately and handed over to Zhang Yong, the military advisor of the Western Expedition, in person.

Let him take care of it, and after the Western Expedition is over, let this child establish a khanate there. "Wokuotai said.

"Khan, this is inappropriate. This child is only five years old now. A five-year-old baby will inevitably be physically unable to bear such a long journey. It would be bad if he dies on the way." A Mongolian general said.

Just kidding, such a long-distance expedition, let alone a five-year-old baby, even the bodies of veterans like them can't handle it!
"That's right! He is really not suitable to go to the West at such a young age, so send him to Harah and Forest and let me raise him personally!
Let my eldest son Guiyu temporarily supervise the Khanate. When this boy reaches the age of eighteen, I will let him leave Harahorin and go to the west.

In addition, the land in the west is so huge that it is really inappropriate to have only one prince. My eldest son Guyu can also get a piece of land there and become the khan there.

And Meng Ge, as the eldest son of Tuo Lei, should go out to conquer the world and establish a khanate in the west. The same is true for the eldest son of the second brother, Baidar. The sons of our four brothers will all establish a khanate there. "Wokuotai said.

After careful consideration, Wo Kuo decided on the final solution, which was to weaken the power of Batu and Jochi.

It is impossible for you, the Winged Wings, to dominate the West.

My sons, the sons of Korekian, the sons of Chaghatai, and even the sons of Tolui will establish their own kingdoms there.

A total of five khanates were established to balance the power and influence of all parties. This can be regarded as a bowl of water.

Everyone has territory to take and people to share, but no one can become bigger.

The most important thing is that his son Guyu can stay in the west peacefully and will not come back again, nor will he threaten his grandson Shiliemen's position as Great Khan.

Even more than ten years later, the land belonging to Kuolejian's son also belonged to Guiyou. This matter was just a matter of a word from him, the Mongol Khan.

Now that I am just in my early fifties, if I don't go on an expedition, I can live on the grassland for at least another twenty years.

By then, the boy Shiliemen would have grown up, and the entire Mongol Empire would have stabilized.

Then he asked Zhang Yong to accompany him to eliminate the last hidden danger for his descendants.

"Great Khan! I agree with this, let everyone in the Tuo Lei family go to the west!
My eldest son, and your eldest son, together, brothers can take care of each other. "Chagatai said.

He also agreed with this strategy, because after all, his eldest son also gained a khanate for nothing.

Ogedei wants to create a balance of power in the West, and he is willing to promote this strategy.

"Well! Even if this matter is over, Kuolejian's body should not be buried in the west. It should be buried in Haraholin, where he was born!" Wokuotai said.

Zhang Yong has achieved his goal, and there is no need to look at Kuo Lejian's body anymore. Moreover, the body has already arrived at Kharaglin. If it is transported back to the West, the body will inevitably become corrupted, so it should be buried in Mongolia!

"Great Khan! King Guanzhong wants me to tell you something in private." Bart said.

"Just tell me what is going on! Those present are all important Mongolian ministers, there is no need to hide anything." Wo Kuotai said. "Great sweat! King Guanzhong hopes that Princess Hulan will not know about this matter. She is old now. If she knows that her son is dead, she will be very sad.

Not good. The body would collapse, so he hid it from her and made her think that his son had established his own khanate in the west. Bart said.

“It’s not that he established the Khanate, his son established the Khanate, but it was just passed on to her grandson.

But Zhang Yong is right. This matter must be hidden from Princess Hulan. After all, she is old.

All of you, please listen to me. The death of Prince Kuolejian can be spread in Mongolia.

But it is absolutely not allowed to spread to the Guanzhong area. Only Zhang Yong's eldest wife, Princess Tulanlun, knows about this matter. Others must keep it secret. "Wokuotai said.

All the Mongolian ministers and generals present nodded and agreed to this approach.

"I will write a decree immediately. If you two happen to be here, take it back and give it to your respective masters!" Wo Kuotai said.

Soon Wokuotai wrote a decree and gave it to two groups of people. After asking them to replenish some food, they immediately set off back to the Western Expedition Camp.

The incident came to an end, and Bart took photos of the body before leaving.

Zhang Yong, who is far away in Hungary, is also dealing with some matters at hand.

A few days after Bart took his people and left, Zhang Yong received another piece of news that surprised him. Duke Kalman of Croatia responded to the letter.

He said that he now very much wants to solve problems for his country, but God does not follow his wishes.

He is now seriously ill and unable to come.

So I hope Queen Maria understands whether she can send the crown to Croatia in person if she insists on inheriting the Hungarian throne.

He first inherited the throne of Hungary in Croatia, and then went to Pest for the coronation after his condition improved.

If that doesn't work, then the throne of Hungary's king will be passed on to his elder brother's youngest son, who will firmly safeguard the rights of the little king.

Moreover, the Croatian Duke Kalman also wrote a letter to Zhang Yong, expressing his willingness to surrender to Mongolia and accept all Mongolian conditions.

Zhang Yong asked him to be the Grand Duke of Croatia, and he continued to be the Grand Duke.

If he is not allowed to be the Grand Duke, he can be an ordinary nobleman. As for the position of King of Hungary, everything will be subject to Zhang Yong's decision.

"This guy is quite tactful! This guy has obviously realized something and doesn't dare to come to Pest City at all." Zhang Yong put down the letter from the Grand Duke of Croatia, touched his chin, and said.

You are seriously ill, why did you get so sick by chance?

You wrote a letter to me and Queen Maria respectively, but you didn’t write to your own eldest brother, Bella IV. You bastard already knew that your eldest brother was dead, right?

However, the Croatian Duke Kalman actually expressed his surrender to Mongolia and expressed his willingness to accept any conditions of Mongolia.

They are willing to give half of their property unconditionally, as are the nobles in the city, and 1/10 of their annual tax revenue will also be given to Mongolia in the future.

"So what do you think we should do now? He is not willing to come over at all, and he is willing to listen to you no matter what you say." Queen Maria asked.

"This Croatian Duke is quite obedient. If that's the case, then I'll let him live.

You write a reply and tell him that in two months, the little prince will attend his coronation ceremony.

If he himself cannot come, then some envoys will be sent to attend the succession ceremony.

And provide a batch of food and fodder for my army next autumn.

He can pay as much as he can, and from now on, his country and his people will be safe. "Zhang Yong said.

As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. Since you know the current affairs so well, I will give you some face and spare your life.

"Okay! I will reply to him. By the way, there is also the matter of the conversion of all Hungarian people to Orthodox Christianity.

I am also promoting and have united the nobles with the church to murder the King of Hungary.

Some news has also been revealed, and now the people in the country are very angry. "Queen Maria said.

It is still difficult to convert all the people to Orthodox Christianity.

However, the death of the King of Hungary was due to the murder of the church and nobles. This was indeed a good trigger, which could easily arouse the people's revolt.

Under such circumstances, the people were no longer willing to believe in the Catholic Church.

The Orthodox Church in Rome also agreed to send bishops to Hungary to preach, and they would also bring a large number of priests and pastors with them.

As for the senior Catholic officials in Hungary, they basically fled with the archbishop, and then they were all taken away by Zhang Yong.

Therefore, there is no resistance to preaching now. More importantly, the war has just ended, and the people are in urgent need of a new faith and need to go to church to pray.

Soothe inner wounds.

"Well! When the time comes, let the Orthodox Archbishop personally hold the succession ceremony, and you will come as the queen to serve as regent." Zhang Yong said.

I don’t know what’s going on with Bart and the others now. Has anyone caught up with Batu?

"Dear! Where do you plan to attack next? We in Hungary can only provide you with some food and grass support now." Queen Maria asked.

"I plan to use the Principality of Croatia to attack the Bulgarian Empire, and then take back your Roman Empire's Constantinople and hand it over to your father." Zhang Yong said.

He has made an agreement with Batu that when the spring of next year begins, the two of them will attack the Holy Roman Empire and the Papal States together to completely level the Catholic power.

The main goal this year is to help Novgorod assess the Teutonic Knights, as well as some resistance areas such as Prussia, and turn the Polish plains into their own prairie.

The land in Poland is still very suitable for grazing, and Batu plans to take his army to rest here directly.

So in the next year, Zhang Yong plans to attack the Byzantine Empire first.

Open up the road to the Mediterranean, help the Byzantine Empire retake Constantinople, and destroy the Bulgarian Empire and the Latin Empire.

Although these two countries are called empires in name, their total domestic military strength and various aspects of conditions are even inferior to Hungary. Fighting them is just like playing.

"Really? Great, if you say so, our Roman Empire can also be restored.

Let me correct you on one thing, I am not the daughter of John III.

He was technically my brother-in-law, my sister was married to him, and my father Theodore I had no male heirs.

That's why he inherited the throne of the Roman Empire. "Queen Maria said.

To be honest, if we talk about orthodoxy, she is the real royal princess of the Roman Empire, and John III is just the son-in-law. (End of chapter)
