Chapter 178: Why Are Flowers So Red?
Qin Cang didn't reply. After approving the document in his hand, he looked up, and Yaroslav was already sweating profusely.
"Shemyaka is dead, isn't she?" Qin Cang asked softly, but this sentence was so shocking to Yaroslav's ears!
Shemyaka was the second son of Yuri Dmitrievich, the former Grand Duke of Galich, and the family had been fighting the blind king for the position of the Grand Duchy of Moscow all their lives. There were as many as four usurpations and anti-usurpations. However, remember that in 1453, the blind king Vasily II must have already conquered Galich and driven the family away.
Maybe it was the breakthrough of Galich that gave the blind king courage?
At this time, Qin Cang remembered an Internet buzzword, is it me Qin Cang who can't hold a knife, or are you blind Wang Piao?
"Moscow will never give in! You can say that again! Very good! I'm going to applaud! Qin Cang clapped his palms, but in the cold room, the voice was a little infiltrating. Even the translator bowed his head carefully.
"I have heard that Moscow was able to grow and annex the principalities of Kostroma and Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod by kneeling on the ground and asking the Great Khan for the Great Khan's edict. Since you have been on your knees for 200 years, why do you want to stand up this year? Qin Cang's words were relayed to Yaroslav by a pale translator.
Russians have strong Asian roots. As the poet Blok said -
Yes, we are Scythians (this doesn't need to be explained, right?) Cypriots. The Khazars were once considered a branch of the Scythians, and the Alans were identified as the Scythians (the Alans were the Ossetians of present-day Caucasus).
Yes, we are Asian.
The eyes are squinting, and the gaze is greedy.
In some respects, the triline clearly expresses the fact that the Eastern Slavs, a people with deep Asian roots, have long since drifted away from Europe.
In fact, the Russians are genetically similar to the Mongols. Russian celebrities such as Lenin, Budyonny, Brezhnev, Paplov, Timoshenko, Tugnav and even Stalin still have a strong appearance after 600 years of Russian independence.
And the high cheekbones and Mongolian eye corners of many Russians represent their Mongolian origin. One in seven is not just talk.
In particular, the upper class of the Russian aristocracy, a large number of intermarriages with the Mongolian nobility made their faces generally Asian. Even more than two hundred years later, the Russian royal family still had half Mongol blood, and Peter the Great still had obvious features on his face.
If you pull out the blind king and Ivan III today, their faces look like Asians.
"This ......." Yaroslav was speechless.
"Is it me Qin Cang who can't hold the knife, or are you floating in Moscow? Tell him that I will write to Kuchuk in Belgosale. If he doesn't send troops, I'll send them! The two armies fought, and instead of beheading the envoy, the deputy envoy was cut down and sent back. ”
Yaroslav was dragged out, and the interpreter almost fell to the ground.
"What's your name?"
"My name is ...... Ma Wufu. The interpreter spoke in Chinese.
"You...... Not bad. Is it from Jinshan County? ”
"Yes."
At present, the Slavs in the non-Ruthenian territories of the country are basically registered in Jinshan County. Even if you live in other places, you basically use Jinshan County as your original location. The 60,000 Slavs in Gain's country all first went out from Jinshan County. Later, the Slavs who came from Ryazan and Bryansk also stopped in Jinshan County.
And the hundreds of thousands of Slavs in Ruthenia, Qin Cang has not had a precise number until now. It can be said that there are only a few cities in the Ruthenian territory that are being revived.
After Yaroslav left, Qin Cang felt the smell of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
"How long have you been with me?"
"One..... A year and a half. ”
"Well, that's good." Qin Cang wrote an appointment on the case and handed it to him.
"Good. I appoint you as the envoy of Ruthenia. I'll give you a task to count the population of each village in Ruthenia's territory in three months. If you can do a good job, I will appoint you as the governor of Kyiv Oblast. Go ahead and apply for funding at the Cabinet of Ministers. ”
Seeing the departure of this lucky man, Qin Cang began to write letters to the Cossack Grand Master Borasa again.
It's time to speed up the pace of colonization. The Grand Duchy of Moscow all began to jump.
As a result, most of the migrants in October went to Kiev, Pereyaslav and Cherkasy. On the banks of the upper reaches of the Dnieper, the Han people occupied good land and began to break ground and cultivate the fields. A small part of the people went to the Cossack territories. The Cossacks were inherently few and good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, so it was not bothering to manage them. The old abandoned town of Kolsun has also begun to be rebuilt. The only difference is that the inhabitants of this land have become Han Chinese.
The Slavs of Kyiv and other regions are now honest, and even the tribute is handed over on their own initiative. Of course, this is not related to Qin Cang's reduction or exemption of most of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Early October. It was also the beginning of October, Qin Cang's early October was very good, and Kuchuk Maha Khan's early October was not good.
Qin Cang is engaged in Han culture in his territory, but Kuchuk sits on wax every day in Belgosaleri.
All this was due to the Mongol invasion, leaving too many hands and feet to clean up. Under the Basha, large groups of feudal lords flocked together. They were not completely nomadic tribes, but enslaved the Slavs, the Greeks to work for them. On the Crimean peninsula there were many such nomadic and agricultural feudal lords. In order to eradicate these stubborn guys, Qin Cang also used a lot of means.
Within the Golden Horde, the situation was even more serious. It's like Poland and Lithuania two hundred years later, a group of nobles beat me and beat me, and Kuchuk was so angry that he almost died. It's just that these uncles are still difficult to serve.
And Qin Cang's letter was soon delivered to Kuchuk through the Tatar merchants of Heyang County.
The end of the letter is very simple, is you going to fight? Or am I going to fight?
And Kuchuk can still say a fart now? He said that he was fighting a war, but he was afraid that the group of people below who loved to do business and farm every day would overturn him directly. Last year's war is still fresh in my mind.
So Kuchuk had no choice but to reply that Lao Tzu has been unwell recently, and he loves to go to you.
Qin Cang couldn't ask for it!
This battle is a battle of momentum! Let the Makhtitik of the Kazan Khanate and the groups of nomads see, who is the real Great Khan now?
In autumn, the sky is high and cool, and the breeze is cool.
Sixty thousand regular troops were assembled in Jincheng County.
30,000 regular troops, infantry army: Weiyuan Army, Zhaoyuan Army, Shence Army, Tiger Ben Army. Cavalry Army: Longxiang Army, Yulin Army.
There were also 25,000 Tatar cavalry, 5,000 Slavs returning to their homeland.
Under the leadership of Qin Cang, they set off together and headed upstream.
