I didn't finish the fourth shift yesterday, I was too tired, and little Lori had ulcers on her tongue again, and she made a lot of trouble. But Luo Luo will work hard today, and he must be four more

"God, this must be the second largest city in the world after Rome, right?"

"Sofia, this is the biggest city in the world! The largest, bigger than Rome! ”

"No way, Rome is the largest, it is a city built by the most powerful Roman Empire ever built, splendid and rich, it is the center of the world......"

"Sophia, your point of view is too outdated. The most powerful empire of all time is the Ming Empire! The center of the world is right in front of your eyes......"

"It's all over the job, it's a mess...... How can it be the center of the world? ”

"How could it not be? The Ming Empire has a population of 10,000,000, the land is incomparably vast, and the vast ocean is its inner lake! So this is the center of the world! ”

"Well, half of the center of the world doesn't even have walls! Kyiv has a complete wall. ”

"Sophia, don't you understand? There is no need for a city wall here, and the imperial capital of the Ming Empire does not need a city wall at all. Because the Ming Empire has the most powerful army and navy in the world, no enemy will ever reach here, except as a prisoner. ”

"Just like you? Baoyin, you are his captive and the slave of the Ming Sage. Is that right? Isn't that skill I gave you useful? ”

"Sophia ......"

"Baoyin, you hurry up and tell me, how did he get on you, is he strong? Did you use a whip? Did they tie you up? Look at the way you look. Tying up and whipping must be useful, right? ”

"It still hurts!"

A mother and daughter, Sophia from the Rurik family in Kiev. Svyatoskaya and Chen Dexing's concubine Baoyin Temur were riding their horses. While chatting and arguing, they simply started to talk about meat - in the ancient Rus' language, of course, which no one could understand. It will definitely not poison the young heart of the little Mongolian princess who went south with them.

This bald little Lori is now seven years old, but she is very tall and sturdy, and she looks like a ten-year-old girl. She was also proficient in the three skills of men - horseback riding, archery, wrestling, and especially wrestling, and the eleven or twelve-year-old Mongolian boys were no match for her.

Baoyin's mother and daughter and Ku Ballun only left and went south with Lin in the spring of this year, because they still brought many children of Mongolian nobles who went south to study, as well as hundreds of good horses from the Western Regions. Therefore, I walked slowly, leaving in March and arriving in Yanjing in July. At this time, Chen Dexing had already gone south. So I didn't see it. Bao Yin and his entourage rested in Yanjing for two months, and Bao Yin arranged most of the Mongolian children who accompanied him into the Mongolian Children's Academy affiliated to Yanjing Tiandao Academy.

Then she took her mother and Kubalun with a hundred carefully selected Central Asian horses (Ahma, most likely sweaty horses), and was escorted south by a team of Eight Banner soldiers. I didn't take a boat either—the BMW that Baoyin collected in the Western Regions was very delicate and couldn't get seasick. All the way upstream, I walked to the bottom of the Jiangdu City in November.

Jiangdu New Town was still a construction site at this time. The old city of Yangzhou seems to have returned to the Chengping period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The streets are bustling with pedestrians. Compared with the battle of Yangzhou nine years ago, I don't know how much prosperity it has. The people of Jiangdu were all dressed in clothes that seemed unusually gorgeous to Sophia—a random woman on the street. Du Bi, who was born in the Rurik Dynasty, slept with three Mongol Great Khans, a Mongol prison state, and a Mongol Khan king. At least one platoon of noble women of Mongolian thousand-household officials were dressed more beautifully, and the material of their clothes was obviously more expensive.

And three women on horses, one of them is Bai Yi. One is a mixed breed, and the other is a loli dressed in Mongolian clothes. Escorted by a team of steel-armored Eight Banner soldiers. He also entered the city with hundreds of tall horses and walked on the streets of Yangzhou. Immediately, it became an eye-catching sight, and the pedestrians on the street stopped and began to watch.

"Come and see, there's a woman there! Who are they? Why are you still holding cavalry? ”

"Maybe the Mongolian nobleman caught in the north, did you see that little fat girl? Dressed in Mongol clothes. ”

"Could it be Kublai Khan's wife and children?"

"Probably right? I don't know if I will be killed? ”

"The old and the little one should be killed, but that little girl of mixed breed looks bewitching enough, why do you have to let people enjoy it before killing it?"

The people on the street are not talking about good things, after all, the Mongols have not been defeated for a long time, and the people of Jiangdu have no good impression of all kinds of barbarians! Neither Sophia nor Kubalun could understand Chinese, and they just looked at the magnificent city and its inhabitants. But Bao Yin knew Chinese, and when she heard these words, she couldn't help but whip people with a horsewhip - she was wearing a sacred white robe! That's a white-clothed Taoist girl, who is a high-ranking heavenly envoy, is this a person who can be discussed casually by all sentient beings?

But before Baoyin could go crazy, there was already a gong in front of him, followed by a loud shout: "The saint has arrived, and all the people kneel to greet him!" When the saint arrives, all the people kneel to greet him! ”

It was Chen Dexing who personally greeted him.

Baoyin has made a great contribution this time, and has brought Haidu Khan to the side of Daming, although this Haidu must belong to the fox. But with the two sharp weapons of the Eight Banners and the Heavenly Dao Sect, Chen Dexing was confident enough to completely subdue the sea. Therefore, he was not afraid of Haidu at all, he was afraid that this goods would be captured and killed by Kublai Khan, or run to Sarai to defect to the Golden Horde. In this way, it will be difficult for Chen Dexing to find a strong collaborator in the golden family.

Therefore, Baoyin can bring the sea capital to Helin, which is indeed a great achievement!

Moreover, what made Chen Dexing even happier was that Baoyin actually let all the more than 30,000 households in Haidu and the Mongolian steppe convert to Tiandaoism. It also made Tiandaoism the state religion of the Mongolian steppe, and also established the Mongolian Great Sect of Tiandaoism.

The significance of this incident is really no less than the Manchu Qing Dynasty's use of Tibetan Buddhism to fool the Mongols!

In addition, the girl Baoyin also unconsciously made another big contribution - bringing back a Rurik from the grassland!

An elderly woman surnamed Rurik doesn't seem to be worth much, but what if Chen Ming's army arrives in Kyiv? Bao Yin's wife could theoretically also be the Grand Duchess of Kievan Rus. The Rus' kingdom of the Rurik dynasty had been shattered long before the Mongol invasion, and there were eighteen or twenty archdukes, most of which were now conquered or killed by the Mongols. The still living princes of Rus' even worshipped the Golden Horde as their ancestors, let alone an authentic Rurik?

Even if Baoyin's mother doesn't have such appeal, it doesn't matter, being a leading party and contacting the Ross princes can always be competent, right?

Baoyin, who has made so many contributions, is now in Jiangdu, and naturally deserves Chen Dexing to go out of the palace to greet him in person. Anyway, his emperor's shelf is not as big as Zhao Song's official family, and it is not a big deal to get out of the palace.

……

"Baoyin, you have made a great contribution to me and Daming this time. From now on, you are not only my concubine, but also the heavenly envoy of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Chen Dexing smiled and handed Baoyin a cup of chocolate drink. Chocolate is now the main drink in Chen Dexing's palace, along with tea. However, there are not many people who like this kind of bitter water with milk and sugar. He has now taken Baoyin, Sophia and Kubalun's little sister back to his temporary palace, also called Zhaoming Palace, which is the original Song Dynasty's Lianghuai System. It is in the inner city of Yangzhou, and now the inner city of Yangzhou has temporarily become a forbidden place. The cabinet, the military department, the Heavenly Dao Palace, and the Advisory Council were all crowded in.

While talking to Baoyin, Chen Dexing's eyes swept over Sophia, carefully looking at this elderly woman. Not to mention, Baoyin's beauty is really inherited, although this Sophia is in her forties, her skin will inevitably sag. But she was not as fat as the Soviet aunt of later generations - she was not Russian in the first place, the Rurik family was a Viking, and she had long been married to Poland and Eastern Rome - and her facial features were very delicate and beautiful, and there was a kind of charm between her eyebrows, but she did not see any resolute and strong temperament, and her eyes flickered when she looked at herself, and she seemed a little weak.

This is not a man who can be a ruler...... Chen Dexing quickly came to a conclusion in his heart and immediately revised his previous decision. Sophia can't be promoted to the position of the archduchess, but she can return to her hometown, walk around Europe, and contact the princes of European countries for the Ming Empire.

His gaze turned to Sullen, a chubby, very stocky, tall little girl. The facial features are still upright, and they have not inherited the big cake face and triangular eyes of the golden family, but they are not pretty. He was also wearing a Mongolian leather robe, which seemed to be a little dirty. Sitting on a chair with a big grin, not scared or shy at all, holding a cup of chocolate drink and drinking it one by one, it seems that he likes this taste.

Seeing the sudden bald lun, Chen Dexing thought of his children again, and he was lucky, he has not paid for the loss of his son so far, and all the children are healthy. It seems that Guo Fuer and Li Cuixian took good care of them, and of course there is also the credit of cowpox.

Chen Dexing's children all live in Yanjing and did not follow them south. Traveling long distances is not good for these children. Moreover, Chen Dexing's eldest son Chen Changan began to study after the New Year, and went to school in the Mengxue School in the Imperial City of Yanjing, together with dozens of children of meritorious heroes. There was also no arrangement for the minister to be the emperor's teacher. Instead, Xiao Ai, who graduated from the Heavenly Dao Academy, was arranged, and several young officers from the Guards were also appointed as teachers. Li Cuixian, who stayed in Yanjing, would supervise their homework. This Mongolian girl named Kubalun looks quite big, but she is actually only seven years old, so it is better to let her be classmates with Chang'an. (To be continued......)
