Chapter 25: Starting Again (3)

After departing from Odessa, the fleet of Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, did not take the previous route of going directly south, but sailed directly to the southeast. The shape of the Black Sea is intermediate between rectangular and olive-shaped. To the northwest is Odessa, and to the southeast is Georgia under the Ilkhanate of Torre.

In contrast to the clear azure of the Mediterranean, the flotilla became darker the deeper into the Black Sea, hence its name. In the encyclopedia of the Great Song Dynasty, it is recorded that the Great Song Emperor Zhao Jiaren described that through the action of anaerobic bacteria, the sulfate in the seawater decomposes to form highly toxic hydrogen sulfide, etc., which causes the deep sea water of the Black Sea to be unable to appear life, and then causes the dark color of the Black Sea water.

In the Great Song Dynasty, such a factual explanation made the intellectuals sigh from the bottom of their hearts, making the citizen class believe that the Zhao Guanjia was the Wenqu star in charge of knowledge, and the rural people believed that the Zhao Guanjia was the reincarnation of the Guanjiangkou Erlang Manifestation Saint Zhenjun. In the Yuan Kingdom, apart from determining that there would be no fishing in the Black Sea based on this knowledge, it did not cause any undesirable effects.

Facing the black seawater, Hao Ren didn't expect the fact that there was no life in the deep waters under the boat, he only felt that the dark water surface made him feel even more gloomy. No one in the entire Yuan Kingdom supported Hao Ren's decision, let alone understanding and caring for Hao Ren's feelings. Such a mood made Hao Ren not talk to his wife at all when he left. Thinking of his negative behavior, Hao Ren felt self-blame.

Twenty years ago, in the war of the Song Dynasty, Hao Ren, a young naval army, happily participated in the war. After hitting Jiangnan, he was attracted to a tall, fair-skinned Han woman. Hao Ren was originally just expecting to collect a big ticket after the victory of the war, and such a woman would take it back to enjoy. When he defeated the Great Song Dynasty and rushed to the mouth of the Yangtze River, Hao Ren felt that he would soon complete such a dream. Even without him doing it himself, those Han generals who surrendered would naturally send Han women according to Hao Ren's requirements, and Hao Ren just picked and choosed.

Then he encountered the first test of life and death in his life, when Zhao Jiaren's fleet attacked the Dayuan naval army, Hao Ren also commanded the warships to bravely meet the battle. The Song artillery tore the thick planks like pieces of paper, and Hao Ren and the sailors fell into the sea together.

Fortunately, he was not drowned, and he swam ashore with great difficulty, only to let the surviving Yuan navy face the hunt of the Han people on the shore. The moment the arrow pierced deep into Hao Ren's body, Hao Ren was desperate. Waking up from a coma and being sheltered and taken care of by Bao Xiweak, Hao Ren did not appreciate it, he only thought about killing Bao Xiweak and escaped, but he was too seriously injured to be able to move at all. You can only passively accept everything. When Hao Ren escaped with his body propped up, he couldn't believe that he had escaped death when he encountered the Yuan army who came to search for him.

Until now, Hao Ren can't clearly recall what happened during the whole process of that defeat. The only thing I can remember clearly is to watch Bao Xi condescendingly helping him and treating him. The tall figure, the slender waist, the snow-white skin, and the indescribable sense of security, as well as the gratitude and longing from the heart.

Bao Xiweak never talks about the past. After reading the letter of 'Yang Tiexin's greetings to Bao Xixiao', Hao Ren finally knew what Bao Xiweak's ex-husband was called. knows that this Yang Tiexin is a general in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a great figure in the Great Song Dynasty at the moment. This did not make Hao Ren feel particularly unhappy, and the Mongols did not care about this. What really made Hao Ren unhappy was Bao Xiweak's lost demeanor after seeing the letter, twenty years, Bao Xiweak spent half of his life by Hao Ren's side, isn't twenty years of love worth a short marriage twenty years ago?

Sitting on the gently swaying boat, Hao Ren felt aggrieved and felt self-blame. After thinking about it, Hao Ren decided to apologize to Bao Xiweak after returning to the Yuan Kingdom, but he also wanted to let go of the past. His life is saved by the weak, and he wants to share the future with his beloved wife.

The fleet sailed for three days on the lifeless sea, and after seeing the coast, it continued in the direction of the coast, only to increase its speed again after entering the lighthouse field. This route is a route that Hao Ren has opened up since the shipbuilding. By now, hundreds of thousands of Mongols had boarded ships from the seaports in the Georgian region of the Ilkhanate and headed for the Yuan kingdom to seek a living.

Upon arrival at the port, the officials of the Ilkhanate came to greet them with great pomp. At the Kuritai Conference, Hao Ren was at the same table as the Ilkhanate Khanate, and the two descendants of Torre had very noble status.

Starting from the port of Georgia, follow the official road all the way south, and go straight to Baghdad, the seat of the Golden Horde of the Great Khan of Mongolia. This route avoided the territorial waters of the Eastern Mediterranean controlled by the Great Song Mediterranean Fleet, and in the agreement of the Four-Power Alliance, Hao Ren demanded that the warships of the Eastern Mediterranean of the Great Song Dynasty not enter the Black Sea, and that the Yuan State was the master of the Black Sea. Now that Yuan Guo has finally achieved his goal, the previous unhappiness has dissipated.

Seeing the magnificent figure of Baghdad City, Hao Ren's mood increased a little nervous. In the city there was his trusted friend Yuxi Timur, and many more princes who were not friends. When you enter the city of Baghdad, you have to entangle with those princes.

Staying in the accommodation arranged for the princes, the Mongol Khan Timur issued an order on the same day to ask Hao Ren to move into the royal city of Baghdad. A place to live in the royal city has been prepared for Hao Ren, and there is no need for the descendants of Mongol Torre to live in the same place as other princes. After resting for one night, Hao Ren didn't see the order of the Great Khan to meet him the next day, and he was happy to rest a little, and the journey was indeed very hard.

In the palace of the Great Khan, Yuxi Timur, who learned that Hao Ren had entered Beijing, came out to play, "Great Khan, Prince Hao Ren has arrived in Baghdad, and those who say that he is going to rebel are self-defeating. He also asked the Great Khan to summon Hao Ren immediately and explain the matter clearly. ”

Yuxi Timur's words fell, and the minister in charge of finance, Urban, came out and said: "Since everyone has arrived, why be in such a hurry. Lord Hao Ren has also worked hard all the way. ”

This is obviously more in line with the thoughts of the Great Khan Timur, and before that, there were rumors circulating in the Baghdad court that Hao Ren was going to rebel. Some people even gave an inopportune example of Jochi, who was the first Great Khan of the Kipchak Khanate, because Genghis Khan asked him to go to the Golden Horde, but Jochi did not come, and as a result, Genghis Khan was dissatisfied and almost sent troops to fight him.

If it was the court of the Han Chinese, this example was actually used to prove that Hao Ren did not necessarily want to rebel if he did not come. But in the Mongol court, this example was to indicate that anyone who disobeyed the orders of the Great Khan was a traitor. Even Jochi, the eldest son of the Great Khan, was the same.

Yuxi Timur looked at Urban with an unfriendly gaze, this guy was a henchman of the slain Chancellor of the Exchequer Ahma, and now he finally took the position of the old governor. Yuxi Timur felt that Urban's man was a traitor.
