On the 13th day of July in the eighth year of the Great Tomorrow Road.

Paris, Schönbrunn Palace.

Inside the yamen of the magistrate outside the Dayuan Gate, several ministers in full robes were holding the folds of Roman Khan that had been sent urgently for 800 li and inhaled cool air. Everyone's faces are white, you look at me, I look at you.

Liu Xiaoyuan, who had just replaced the seriously ill Baturu as the chief judge, sat on a chair, drinking a bowl of hot tea without raising his head, and did not move.

The voices of the ministers below gradually sounded.

“…… Chen Dexing actually personally conquered, and Zhu Sijiu's soldiers had already invaded Asia Minor! Armenia and Georgia have both surrendered to the enemy, the Sultanate of Rûm has fallen, the state of Trazónbu has ended, and the Roman Khan's territory in Asia Minor has been lost. ”

"What else? Of course, send all the soldiers to save Constantinople! Constantinople is the gate to Europa, if it is lost, the Ming army will come in! ”

"Yes, we have to fight! 200,000 troops! We also have muskets and cannons now, how can we not have the strength to fight? ”

"Yes, even if you can't beat it, you have to fight! If Constantinople is not saved, what will the kings of Pingnan and Zhennan think? Will you simply vote for Daming? And will the pseudo-Romans, the Iberian states and England take advantage of the fire to loot? What are we going to do then? ”

Hearing the sound of discussion, Liu Xiaoyuan gently put down the teacup in his hand and slowly raised his head: "What are you talking about?" Can we beat Chen Dexing? Do we need to beat Chen Dexing or come to Europa? Have you forgotten about Sarai's 800-mile expedited a while ago? The combined forces of Haidu and Daming have already entered the Kipchak steppe! Fifty thousand steel-armored cavalry, still with cannons, fired cannons from afar. Ten thousand arrows are close to the ...... It won't be long before the sea khan gets to Paris. Such an opponent can we resist? ”

An Tong, who had just made up for the chief judge, was at the age of his flesh and blood. Just now, I talked the loudest, shouting and shouting and killing. Now I listened to Liu Xiaoyuan's words. Not convinced, he said angrily: "Roman Khan is Liu Xiang's old Taishan...... Now the person who is guarding the city of Constantinople and crying for his father and mother, if he really wants to save it, I don't know if he has martyred the city or joined the enemy......"

The cunning and tactfulness of the Roman Khan Michael VIII was famous in Europa. Known as the "Eight-Legged Spider", he is a character who can deal with all aspects. If he hadn't secretly corresponded with Zhu Sijiu, no one would believe it.

Most likely, a certain illegitimate daughter of Michael VIII is now in Zhu Sijiu's bed......

Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at An Tong. "You think I don't know who Michael VIII is? If he could vote for Zhu Sijiu, he would have already voted by now! The reason why he has not surrendered to the enemy now is because Zhu Sijiu wants Constantinople to be the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and he has even named his name. It's called 'Shengjing'. ”

Liu Xiaoyuan has an intelligence department under the Ministry of Rites, which specializes in collecting information from all aspects, and his ears and eyes are very psychic. Michael VIII's every move could not be concealed from him. This master didn't send his daughter to Zhu Sijiu...... Because there is no more, the daughters have already been delivered! However, the matter of defection and surrender has been bargaining with Zhu Sijiu for most of the day, and he has even contacted Rome. The condition was that the Church of Constantinople be placed under the rule of the Roman Ecumenical Church.

But Zhu Sijiu is determined to want Constantinople! The whole of Greece was also promised to Venice and Genoa. And it was agreed to build the Suez Canal, which was the lifeline for Venice and Genoa to continue their trade with the East! The two countries have long been looking forward to it. It's just that their hands can't reach Suez, and the Mamluk Sultan Baibers is also anxious now, how can they have the heart to dig a canal?

Therefore, after Zhu Sijiu promised and signed the relevant treaty, the Venetian and Genoese navies had already joined the coalition forces attacking Constantinople. Reign of Michael VIII. It looks like it's going to be hard to sustain for long.

However, Liu Xiaoyuan still looks confident. He took another sip of tea from the tea bowl, shook his head, and said, "Constantinople can't hold it, so there is no need to save it." That the Roman Khan should be forsaken...... Or you can let the two kings of Pingnan and Zhennan send troops together to help him take Bulgaria or Serbia and establish a state. ”

"What about Da Ming? Chen Dexing is in person! "I'm old. Yao Shu, who had white hair, suddenly interjected.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly low and breathless. Chen Dexing pro-recruitment! This is a clear attempt to wipe out Greater Mongolia in one fell swoop, right? Mongolia has already run to Europa, why is Daming still not relenting?

"Don't be afraid!" Liu Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth. "The Ming can defeat us, but they can't rule Europa...... Europa alone has at least 30 million white fans! Our 1 million banner men and 1 million banner slaves, plus the three feudal kings, barely suppressed half of them. How many Han Chinese can Chen Dexing send to Europa? Now it's only a few hundred thousand...... Can you rule all of Europa? Don't even think about it! If he really defeats us, then the Europeans are taking advantage of it. ”

Liu Xiaoyuan said that the head is the Tao, and everyone sounds like this. These days, the Mongolian Eight Banners here in Europa have done nothing else, and they are working hard to rectify the Europeans! It is also a peerless writing, and it is also a culture of extermination, and it is also advertised everywhere that Kublai Khan is the second child of God's family, and he came down to save the Europa people......

Moreover, the Mongols also carried out an "agrarian revolution" on their own territory, distributing land to the poor middle peasants of Europa according to their capita, and the taxes were not high (compared to the original), and they were still divided into acres, and the miscellaneous ones were less than 20 percent of the harvest...... This is 20 percent without the exploitation of landlords and old money!

In addition, Kublai Khan also made a decree that he would never give more!

In the eyes of the Mongols themselves, Kublai Khan can now be regarded as the first benevolent monarch of the ages. If the previous generations of Great Khans had ruled Europa, how could the Europeans have the "good life" they have now?

And Europa's poor middle peasants are indeed much more stable now. Isn't it just that God has an extra son? What's the big deal? And this second child of God's family seems to be good, he has divided the land with the big guys, and he doesn't want everyone to be serfs, and he doesn't send a knight to bully people. Such a good Great Khan may have been sent by God......

But he is such a great khan who is benevolent. Now he has been put a knife to his chest by the Ming Empire!

How good is that?

Thinking of the future of Great Mongolia, the room suddenly fell silent. Several ministers also found it difficult to handle. Each looked at the corner. Only Liu Xiaoyuan still looks like he is in his chest. Just when I was embarrassed, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door. I saw Kublai Khan's third son walking in stride. The third son of the Great Khan had already begun to run politics these days - Kublai Khan seemed to be unable to make up his mind who to appoint as the prince, so he let his sons participate in politics, probably to find a capable successor. And because the third son of the emperor is the oldest and has a group of followers around him, things are doing well. Now that I have some hope, I feel that I may take over. Therefore, I ran harder and harder. The summer sun was poisonous, and the busy brother was tanned and thin, and now he walked into the house. His face was covered in sweat.

Seeing the busy brother come in, Liu Xiaoyuan and several officials hurriedly got up and saluted. But at the end of the point, no one showed any special enthusiasm. Kuda Khan's body is still tough, several princes seem to be very hard-working, and there is also an emperor's grandson, Huang Ebo, who doesn't do anything, but follows Kublai Khan every day...... Who this big position belongs to, really only God knows.

Brother Busy glanced at it and arched his hand towards Liu Xiaoyuan: "Liu Xianggong, the Great Khan asked me to ask." How's the negotiation with Daming going? ”

Liu Xiaoyuan raised his head, his face was light, "It's all talked!" ”

"Talked?"

"Basically, it's been negotiated, and I'm a minister. Nagon, take the hostages. ”

"That's all?"

Liu Xiaoyuan took another sip of tea and snapped his fingers: "There are eighteen more." There are 21 in total. It's not a big deal, though. ”

"Then why did the Ming Emperor still levy it himself?"

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled: "King, we are so far away from Daming here. Messages are delivered slowly, coming and going for months or even years. Negotiations between the minister and the Atlantic Governor's Palace. Chen Dexing probably didn't know. But now it's okay, he came over in person, and after a while, the ministers will go to Dashi and Persia to negotiate with Chen Dexing in person. Nine times out of ten, this can be done. ”

It turned out that the negotiations between Mongolia and the Ming Atlantic Governorate had been going on - Liu Xiaoyuan was in full charge, and the place of negotiations between the two sides was in the city of Rouen. Liu Xiaoyuan met again with Chen Chongguan, the deputy governor of the Atlantic Governor's Mansion in Rouen, only two days ago, and some results were achieved.

However, the Atlantic Viceroyalty did not have the power to make peace with the Mongols. Such a large peace treaty must be reported to the Ming court and approved before it can be signed. It is not possible to conclude a treaty first and then ask the imperial court for approval.

Liu Xiaoyuan had planned to enter the palace to report to Kublai Khan after the meeting of the Grand Judge's Yamen. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he let his three princes go to the Yamen of the Great Judge to ask Liu Xiaoyuan for questioning.

……

"Great Khan, the minister is 100% sure that he can negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. The Daming Western Expeditionary Army and the Heavenly Dao Knights of the thief in Haidu, although they are menacing, the situation here in Europa is complicated, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from Daming. They're actually the end of the crossbow...... Perhaps they will be a threat to us for decades in Asia Minor and the steppes of Rus'. But now, they can't help us. If we can get our nominal submission, what is there not to be satisfied with? ”

In Schönbrunn Palace, Liu Xiaoyuan was talking comforting words to Kublai Khan, while stealing his eyes on Kublai Khan and the emperor beside him. Kublai Khan still looked expressionless, forcibly calm, as if he was not in a mess. And Huang Ebo's face clearly showed fear - his father-killing enemy came, but he was not gritting his teeth and resentment, but only fear. Such a temperament...... It's really suitable to be the heir of Kublai Khan.

Liu Xiaoyuan withdrew his eyes from Huang Ebo, and he had already made a decision on the issue of standing in line in the future competition for storage positions. In the next few decades, Great Mongolia will not need any bright monarchs, but only smart lords. Knowing that you can't beat Da Ming, you're smart! Huang Ebo's performance can't hide from Kublai Khan's eyes. And Kublai Khan must have known the key.

Daming is a country of early prosperity! In the coming decades, it will definitely continue to rise. Fifty years, sixty years, or even a hundred years from now, it will be as the sun is shining. Great Mongolia can't fight against it, and honestly being a turtle with a shrunken head is the way to preserve.

Genghis Khan's career is now in his sixties, what momentum will he have in a few decades? This country of sunset mountains does not need a vigorous king! Even Kublai Khan himself is not the time to be full of vigor......

Kublai Khan sat on the Hu bed, although there was no expression on his face, but his eyes still showed deep worry.

"Liu Qing, if the peace agreement fails, where should we go?" Kublai Khan pondered for a long time, and finally asked such a frustrating question.

If peace cannot be reached, where should we flee? Resistance is impossible, only flight!

"Go north." Liu Xiaoyuan replied, "Go to Sweden by Denmark and cross the sea, the land of Sweden and Norway is bitter and cold, and it can be taken as a place to avoid disaster." ”

He had already thought of a way out and hid in the ice and snow of Northern Europe. Although it is a little bitter, it is a vitality after all.

"But across the sea!"

"You can make some preparations in advance, you can build a ship in Denmark Province, and then firmly control the several large islands between Denmark and Sweden......" Liu Xiaoyuan hurriedly calculated for Kublai Khan, and saw that the melancholy in Kublai Khan's eyes had decreased a little, so he smiled and pulled the topic back to the negotiations. The Great Khan, the minister, intends to leave for Egypt tomorrow. ”

"To Egypt?" Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to Egypt for?" ”

"Go and borrow the way," Liu Xiaoyuan said, "and the minister estimates that Chen Dexing will subdue the Mamluk Sultan...... Therefore, most of the ministers can meet the envoys of the Ming Dynasty in Cairo. Then he went with the envoys of Mamluk to see Chen Dexing. Chen guessed that the purpose of Chen Dexing's coming west was to establish the order of the Ming Dynasty to rule the world.

That is, the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, the Quartet is the guest service, and all countries come to the court. If it were us Mongolia, the Mamluks of Egypt would be willing to submit. Then the countries of Europa will have nothing to do, and they can only bow down. In this way, Chen Dexing is a veritable king of the world. At this point, what is Chen Dexing not satisfied? This is unprecedented, and the ...... I'm afraid there will be no one left. ”

"King of the World......" Kublai Khan sighed, once upon a time, Möngke Khan was ambitious and wanted to destroy Song Pingou and conquer the world. But now it has allowed a Han emperor to achieve this ideal.

He nodded slowly: "It seems that this is the only way!" I bow down to Bibers together, Chen Dexing should be satisfied, right? (To be continued.) )
