The Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty was 99 years, the Guangming calendar was 82 years, and the Western calendar was 1212 years.

After a long journey by land and sea for more than a year, a huge delegation from the East finally arrived at the most prosperous city of Kiev in the black land of Rus'.

The city was once the capital of Kievan Rus', and after the fall of Kievan Rus', the city fell into the hands of the Golden Horde, the conquerors who came from the east.

The Rus' people in the city still remember the terrible legends they heard from their ancestors...... The 200,000 Golden Horde, armed with muskets and cannons and sturdy armor, roared across the steppes of Rus' and into the rich black earth. Eighteen Rus' principalities fell one by one, and none of the cities resisted for more than three days in the face of the terrifying golden soldiers.

Eventually, the Golden Horde's army, under the command of their Great Khan, King Zongbi, joined forces outside Kiev. The camp of 200,000 troops surrounded Kyiv.

In desperation, the Grand Duke of Kiev sent envoys to Constantinople and Rome, hoping that the crusaders would come to Kyiv and save the Christians who were surrounded by infidels.

But before the Grand Duke's envoy arrived at his destination, Wang Zongbi's cannon blasted through the walls of Kiev.

The golden soldiers, armed with heavy muskets and spears, swarmed in, and the warriors of Kievan Rus' were vulnerable to them, and all died tragically.

Subsequently, the Golden Horde King Zongbi issued the "Decree of Light" to the entire city...... Christians in Kyiv will either convert to the light or they will be executed!

Countless believers who have firmly believed in the Lord Jesus Christ have chosen martyrdom to prove their loyalty to the Lord with their lives. But more people chose the god of light.

A few days later, all the churches in Kiev were transformed into the Church of Light, with the cross replaced by the cross of the god of light, and the messenger of light replaced the priest......

Since then, Kyiv has also had a nickname - the City of Light!

The Golden Horde, which conquered Kiev, did not continue to advance westward, as the kings of Eastern and Western Europe, trembling with fear of the "Golden Horde" and the "Yellow Peril", had anticipated.

Instead, he stopped at the rich black soil belt, regarded the city of Kiev as his comfortable nest, and began a decades-long painstaking operation.

A large number of well-designed and constructed "Illuminati" buildings (in fact, half-Chinese, half-Persian) appeared in the city, and a huge fortress-like wall protected the beautiful city.

Commerce, crafts and education are also well developed in the city.

The Jurchens who conquered Kiev were not barbarians who had just been killed in the deep mountains and forests, they had already absorbed the civilization of the Han and Persians, and had also established two capitals at the foot of the Yin Mountain and on the banks of the Volga River. As a result, a wealth of experience was accumulated to make Kiev one of the largest cities in Europe at the time (one and two were certainly Constantinople and Rome).

When Yang Anguo, the envoy of the Great Zhou Republic, arrived in Kiev together, they were all shocked by the city in front of them.

According to Heiyi's account in his "Hojo Miscellaneous" (Heiyi's ancestors came from Japan, Heiji, Miao character Hojo): "...... Kiev is slightly the same as Xuzhou, and the perimeter is guarded by mound fortresses, which are unusually strong, so the Mongols are not allowed to enter. Within the city wall, it is extremely prosperous, the streets are straight, there is no outline workshop, and there are many tall Zhou-style buildings, with a slight Persian style. There are many inhabitants in the city, known as three or four hundred thousand. Most of the people are blonde and white-skinned, with blue and green eyes, and believe in the Bright Heaven Doctrine. Women are more graceful when they are young, with beautiful faces, and fat when they are older. There are also black-haired and black-eyed people in the city, all of whom are nobles, not called Jurchens, but Han people......"

Obviously, Kiev at this time is a very prosperous and beautiful city. Due to the protection of the outer bastions, they did not suffer much damage in the Mongol offensive either.

However, the nobles and common people in the city still hated the brutality of the Mongols very much - although Kiev was not breached, but in the black soil belt, many Jurchen cities were broken! After all, not every city is as strong as Kyiv, and even if it is strong enough, it does not necessarily have enough defenders.

As for the village of Ross in the countryside outside the city, it is even more destroyed, and many places are empty!

What made the citizens of Kiev even more resentful was that the evil Mongols actually broke through the top of light in Baku and plundered the holy daughter of light, Moqisi......

That's the first agent of the God of Light on earth!

The hatred of the Mongols naturally turned into a warm welcome to the Great Zhou mission!

Therefore, the Great Zhou Mission, which came to Europe on an "Enterprising" class battleship (displacement 15,000 stones), received an unprecedented warm welcome in the city of Kiev.

The current Great Khan of the Golden Horde is Wang Yongji, who is a descendant of Wang Zongfu, the third son of Aguta. His father, Wang Yong, was the son of Wang Zongfu, who came to power through a palace coup d'état and ushered in the prosperity of the Golden Horde.

However, the prosperous and wealthy khanate also completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Jurchens. The land they occupy is so good and fertile that they can harvest whatever they plant. And this black land is also next to the Black Sea, through the Dnieper River and the Black Sea, the output of the black soil can be transported to cities on the Mediterranean coast. A variety of beautiful handmade items are then shipped back to Kyiv. The city is decorated with a city comparable to Tianjin and Xuzhou...... Oh, in fact, Kyiv is much more beautiful than the cities of Tianjin, Xuzhou, Jiangning, Shanghai, Haizhou!

Because there is no polluting "secondary industry" in Kiev, there are not so many workers in the handicraft workshops, and naturally there are no unemployed people, and there are not many bankrupt peasants who have poured in from the countryside.

With such beautiful and rich cities and villages, where did the Jin people have the ability to conquer Poland, Lithuania, and even the Holy Roman Empire?

Those places are not as good as Kievan Rus'! Kievan Rus' was close to the Black Sea and could trade by sea with the Eastern Romans, Italy, Egypt, and the Great Stone Empire. And Poland, Lithuania and HRE are close to the Baltic Sea, occupy there and who to trade with? Pirates in Northern Europe?

The loss of the pioneered ** is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Jins also lost interest in their nest in the Volga.

How can the Volga compare to the black soil of Ukraine? It's not so fertile, it's not connected to the Mediterranean, and there's no Ukrainian tender model...... It was so boring to stay there! Moreover, the number of "pure-blooded Han Chinese" in the Golden Horde has not increased so much. In the era of Zongbi's conquest, there were about 600,000, and the number is still hovering around seven or eight hundred thousand today. At the same time, the mixed-race and blond-haired and blue-eyed Rus population without "Han Gui" qualifications increased at a relatively rapid rate. In this case, the Han Chinese of the Golden Horde, in order to strengthen their rule in the Black Earth Belt, also had to settle in several large cities along the Black Sea and the Dnieper River.

Therefore, by the time Wang Yongji came to power as the king of Khan, the Golden Horde had in fact abandoned the steppes along the Volga-Ural River, and all of them lived in the cities of the Black Earth Belt, living a comfortable life.

Therefore, when the Mongols rose up in the Ural River, Wang Yongji had no idea of sending troops to extinguish them.

His eyes were only on Constantinople to the south, where Jeluzhilugu of the Great Stone Empire wanted to seize the castle and achieve his dream of entering Europe. Wang Yongji, on the other hand, did not want to see Junbao fall into the hands of the powerful Dashi Empire.

Because that would inevitably block the trade routes of the Golden Horde to the south!

Therefore, the Golden Horde united Eastern Rome and Egypt to launch a series of open and covert battles with the Dashi Empire, and even united with the Ayyubid Adilai-Safuddin (Saladin's younger brother, after Saladin's death, he took advantage of the struggle of Saladin's three sons to seize power and become the sultan), and besieged the Dashi Empire together.

It was because of Yongji's short-sightedness that the Golden Horde missed the best opportunity to extinguish Temujin. And when the Mongol army came like a tide, he was at a loss, only knew to defend Kiev, and finally paid the annual coin, and declared himself a vassal to Temujin.

However, when Temujin led his troops to the east, and the envoys of the Great Zhou Republic arrived in Kiev again, Wang Yongji's mind became active again.

After all, it was too humiliating to pay tribute to the Mongols before...... Now these arrogant Mongols have provoked a strong enemy that they cannot fight at all-the Great Zhou and the Western Song Dynasty among the three heroes of Zhuxia.

So it was only a matter of time before Temujin failed!

"Temujin's siege? Are you sure? The Eastern Song Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty will also participate? ”

"That's great! With Zhuxia Sanxiong taking the lead, what else is the problem? ”

"Yes, the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty alone is enough to clean up Temujin. What's more, there are two more songs to join! ”

"Now you can finally be ashamed!"

"It's great that the Golden Horde can finally regain its former prestige......"

"That's right, you must let the Mongolian Tatars know that we Han people are powerful!"

"That's right! Be sure to kill them all! ”

Maybe even Wu Haogu, who had been buried in Yanjing Babao Mountain for a long time, would not have thought that these Golden Horde Jurchens who went to Ukraine would actually think they were Han Chinese...... And he is also a noble pure-blood Han Chinese!

This perception was caused by the "Chineseization" education carried out by the Golden Horde after its arrival in the Volga Valley.

And the main reason why the Golden Horde will implement the policy of "entering China" is, of course, the strength of the three heroes of Zhuxia! Especially the New Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Song Dynasty, two world empires that have their own new continents, are placed there, who doesn't want to climb relatives?

Climb a relative, and you can also scare Europa's white fan!

Therefore, when the Mongols rose, the people of the Golden Horde naturally looked forward to the help of the Chinese motherland.

However, the embassies of the Great Zhou, Western Song and Eastern Song dynasties in Kiev have always maintained their neutrality and have no intention of interfering in the Western war...... It was not long ago that news came from New England on the Crimean Peninsula that the Great Zhou Republic had sent a large mission and made a proposal to form an anti-Temujin alliance!

The so-called New England was not a colony of the Kingdom of England on the Crimean Peninsula, but a stronghold established by a group of Anglo-Saxon warriors and their descendants who fought against the Norman conquest.

After losing the war against the Norman Conquest, these men went into exile in Eastern Rome, attached themselves to Alexei I (Komenina's father), joined the Varangian Guard, and were given a piece of land in the southern part of the Crimean Peninsula, which had previously belonged to the Eastern Roman Empire, and established the "New England Colony" as a way to remember their homeland.

However, the freedom of this New England did not last long, and it fell under the attack of the Golden Horde, and became a vassal dependent on the Golden Horde.

The English warriors of the Crimean Peninsula turned to serve the armies of the Golden Horde.

The city of New England itself gradually became a foreign trade port for the Golden Horde.

The Great Zhou Mission, which had bypassed the African continent, landed in New England on the Crom Peninsula and arrived in Kiev under the protection of New England mercenaries through the countryside of the Black Earth Belt, which was infested with thieves due to the Mongol invasion.

……

"Will Da Zhou send troops to Europe?"

In Kiev City, in the Guangming Palace, Wang Yongji, who was holding a banquet for the Great Zhou delegation from afar, suddenly asked bluntly whether the Zhou State would send troops.

Yang Anguo, who was born in the military, and his deputy, the short career diplomat Ping Yishi, glanced at each other.

"The Republic of the Great Zhou currently has a small number of troops in Europe, and we have castles, ports, and trading markets in Gibraltar, southern Spain. ”

The territory of Gibraltar he spoke of was taken from the Caliphate of Córdoba, which ruled the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The so-called Caliphate of Córdoba no longer exists, as early as 1031 in the Western calendar, after the last caliph of Córdoba, Hisham III, was deposed, the caliphate was divided into more than 20 small feudal states. The Christian states of the Iberian Peninsula have taken advantage of the opportunity to rise, and have now recaptured most of the peninsula, pressing the small kingdom of the Celestial Sect to the south of the peninsula.

At the same time, the Christian kingdom of Egypt expanded aggressively along the coast of North Africa, capturing the two colonial cities of Ceuta and Nagia off the coast of Morocco on the other side of the Iberian Peninsula.

Under these circumstances, the emir of Grenada took the initiative to contact the Zhou state in exchange for the cession of Gibraltar in exchange for the Zhou state guaranteeing peace between them and the Egyptian kingdom.

Wang Yongji was not satisfied with Ping Yishi's answer, and frowned, "Deputy Envoy Ping, what this king is asking is when the Great Zhou Republic will be able to send troops to Rus Dapingyuan...... The terrain of Rus is flat and undefendable, and it is difficult to resist Temujin's army! ”

Yang Anguo said with a smile: "Temujin's army can't come to Rus for the time being. Because the Western Song Dynasty had declared war on Temujin, the 200,000 expeditionary force had already set out, and it would soon counterattack Shattered Leaf City.

Although our country has no plans to send troops directly to the Rus' Plain, it will send instructors to help the Golden Horde train its troops, and will also recruit mercenaries for the Golden Horde through financial support.

In addition, we will supply the latest artillery and muskets to the Golden Horde. ”

In other words, the Great Zhou Republic will provide money, guns, and instructors, while the Golden Horde and Western Liao only need to be responsible for sending people.

However, at this time, Wu Guocheng, the head of the Great Zhou Dynasty, did not expect that a small decision he made in this war to encircle and suppress Temujin would allow an empire named Jinross to rise after a long time......
