Historically, it was the Mongols' western expedition that ended the turbulent times of the European Crusades and contributed to the arrival of the Renaissance, which brought Europe out of the millennium of darkness in the Middle Ages.

"Aren't you the patron saint of the Song people? Why help me? Kublai Khan asked.

"I want a new world." Sun Hui replied very dryly.

"You want me to conquer the world?" Kublai Khan felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing at an accelerated pace, gradually boiling.

"I hope so, that's why I helped the Great Khan to cure his chronic illness, otherwise, the Great Khan would have to leave this great cause to his descendants." Sun Hui replied, "I will still help the Great Khan, but I just hope that the Great Khan will not let me down." ”

After Sun Hui finished speaking, he turned around and walked back into the fireball.

The fireball rose again into the sky, and the sound rumbled between heaven and earth, and the form of the sound gradually disappeared, and disappeared into the incomparably bright distance, in the incomparably bright sun.

Kublai Khan watched the storm and the light go away. Until twilight and clouds regather on the top of the mountain, the shape in the distance appears to be the same hazy. He walked in one direction step at a time, like a man walking towards his twilight and his death, and like a soul walking towards his completely new life.

"Brother Sun, when it comes to pretending to be a ghost and fooling, you are still powerful." After Sun Hui returned to the spaceship, Wang Linlin smiled.

"It's okay." Sun Hui looked at Kublai Khan, who was still standing in the wind, from the three-dimensional image, "He has been cured of gout, obesity, fatty liver and so on, he should be able to do as I say." ”

"Why do you always want the Mongols to go on another expedition to the west, do you want them to kill all the Europeans and Arabs?" Ye Chuchu asked with some puzzlement.

"No, mainly to end the Crusades and the theocracy of the two major religions, so that the Renaissance era would come sooner." Sun Hui said, "Borrow the Mongols' knives to kill more perverts, the more they kill, the less likely the company will be resurrected in the future." ”

"The Mongols ended the Crusades?" Ye Chuchu obviously didn't know much about that period of world history, "I really haven't talked about it in this history textbook." ”

Sun Hui told Ye Chuchu and the girls that the Crusades were a great turmoil that occurred in the Middle Ages, revolving around the battle for the holy city of Jerusalem, Christians and *** launched a bloody war that lasted for more than 200 years, countless people died, darkness shrouded the world, and people were waiting for the day when the nightmare ended...... However, when the final judgment came, people were surprised to find that it was neither God nor Allah who ended it, but from the steppe of eternal life.

Medieval Europeans knew little about the East, and the church took the opportunity to invent many myths to fool the people, including the story of John, the priest.

According to the legend of the time, the Far East was a dark world full of *** and pagans, and God's blessings were almost incompatible, but nevertheless, there was a kingdom of faith in God, and its king was John, the Priest King, with great wisdom, endless wealth and a strong army, who was fighting alone against the *** and infidels on all sides, and would eventually rush to Jerusalem with the army to help the Crusaders win the victory.

At that time, the Europeans had come to the Middle East for more than 100 years, and had launched four crusades, but they lost more and won less, and suffered heavy losses, and the recapture of Jerusalem had long become a luxury, and several crusader states surrounded by *** were all in danger and could be destroyed at any time, and the situation was getting worse and worse, and the only hope at the moment seemed to be the legendary priest King John, and "he" really appeared.

In 1219 A.D., the news that Khorezm, the most powerful country in Central Asia, had suddenly been attacked and severely damaged came from the east, causing a sensation throughout Europe, and the Crusaders were jubilant, and the Pope and his followers believed that the legendary priest King John had finally arrived! Many of the Crusaders in the stronghold were so enthusiastic that they even took the initiative to join forces with the priest-king, but their battle was ultimately lost, and the casualties were huge, because the "Priest King John" did not kill Jerusalem as scheduled.

After the fall of Khorezm, the troops of "John the Priest" plundered all parts of Persia and then returned to the East, and just when the Europeans could not figure out the situation, the "Priest King" reappeared, but this time he attacked the same country of God, Ancient Russia......

Russia, which had been attacked, issued an official notice to the Pope that "God's forces have plundered our cities, killed thousands of us, and then disappeared to the east." The pope replied angrily: "You are under attack by the priest King John because the Greek holy religion (the branch of Christianity) of your faith is heretical, and God is punishing you!" ”

Obviously, the pope could not accept the myth of the priest-king at the moment, but the continuous raids against the European kingdoms soon shattered all illusions, and it was not until many years after fighting "John" that it became clear to the Europeans who their opponents were—the Mongols, also known as the Tatars, a new, rapidly rising people on horseback.

The Mongols rose so fast that not only Europeans, but also Asian countries at that time lacked sufficient awareness of the strength of the Mongols, and the king of Khorezm had 400,000 soldiers at that time, and in his opinion the Mongols were nothing more than a tribe chasing hares on ponies, so they dared to adopt a strong and arrogant policy towards the Mongols, and it was not until the Mongol army attacked that they experienced the terrifying power of this world-conquering army for the first and last time.

Pope Ivan IV also naively wrote to the Mongol Khan Möngke, urging him to believe in God and return to the right path, but Möngke replied: "Your country should immediately send tribute to our country, and it is incomprehensible that you ask us to believe in Christianity, for I am the true pride of heaven, and all the territory from sunrise to sunset has been given to me from heaven, and whoever dares to disobey my commands is an enemy, and I will bring them to perish." ”

The Mongol ambition to conquer the world was unprecedented, and the Pope, who read the reply, was horrified and quickly organized a meeting of the European countries to discuss ways to stop the Mongol army, which he believed would sooner or later perish in Europe.

At that time, ancient Russia was generally called Rus' or Kievan Rus', at that time it was only a small Eastern European country, composed of a federation of 18 principalities, and the later Ukrainian capital Kiev was the oldest city in Russia, enjoying the reputation of the mother of Russian cities, and the principality of Kiev was also the leader of the principalities at that time, and the first battle between the Europeans and the Mongols was fought by the Russians.
