Riding his horse around the city of Tabriz, the commander of Boyan returned to the big tent with an indifferent expression. Kublai Khan did not have the slightest nervous expression, and even if he did not walk around the city, the city of Tabriz that Kublai Khan saw through his telescope was no more magnificent than the famous city that the Mongols had ravaged.

"Emissaries have been sent." Kublai Khan said.

"Then we can wait a little longer." Boyan replied indifferently. He didn't particularly like to talk, even when it came to something so important.

The two monarchs and ministers were silent for a moment, and Kublai Khan asked: "After solving the problem of Tigu Dieer, do you stay or continue the western expedition?" Kublai Khan did not mention the previous battles, and the rulers of Tabriz were Mongols, and the Mongols knew the Mongol rules best.

"Continue westward and set up the Great Khan's Golden Horde in Baghdad."

"You've been to Baghdad before, what kind of place is there." Kublai Khan continued to ask.

"It's hot in Baghdad, and there is occasional snow in the winter, but there is no snow...... says of his impressions of the region.

Even if he was such a smart person as Marshal Boyan, he didn't know that the earth was in the Xiaoice era at this time. The Xiaoice era caused the cold air from the north to move southward, and the Mongolian plateau was cooler and snowfell more. At such temperatures, the plant grows for a shorter time. For areas such as Baghdad, the southward movement of cold air brings the rain line closer to the Baghdad area, when the two river basins receive abundant rainfall and more pleasant temperatures.

Kublai Khan originally didn't care about Boyan's previous military history, and when Boyan arrived in Dadu as Hulegu's envoy, he was taken by Kublai Khan at a glance. Since then, Boyan has been entrusted with important tasks by Kublai Khan's side. During this expedition to the west, Kublai Khan began to rely more and more on Boyan's experience in the West. Boyan also had a proud resume, having participated in Hülegü's expedition to the west, destroying Khasassin in the southern Caspian Sea, and killing the Mongols of the Assassin groups that had terrorized the Middle East and Europe.

The Habas dynasty was then destroyed. Baghdad fell, the 36th Sultan was trampled to death by horses, and the empire that lasted for more than 500 years came to an end. Later, the Mongols destroyed the rule of the Ayyubid dynasty in Syria. The rulers of the Ayyubid dynasty fled from Damascus to Egypt and were subsequently replaced by the Mamluk dynasty.

The Crusader Boyan Cheng was already a general at this time, and he was also a literati in the Mongol army who was proficient in foreign languages. As a result, Hulagu Khan was entrusted with diplomatic responsibilities. In the 13th century, the Mongol conquest of the West quickly led to a 'Mongol Wave' in Europe, and the European elite wanted to contact and cooperate with this powerful eastern country. For Europe, the East does not refer to the distant Great Song Dynasty, but to the two river basins and the Persian kingdom.

The foreign policy of the Ilkhanate, which controlled this 'eastern region', was to liaise with the Crusades and fight against the Mamluks, a true theological state. So in Constantinople, in Rome, in Vienna, in Île-de-France (Paris), and even in London, there was a figure of Boyan.

Listening to Boyan's suggestion to continue his expedition to the west, Kublai Khan continued to ask, "Don't you need to stay here?" ”

"Great Khan, Baghdad is richer than the Ilkhanate. After the Golden Horde was erected in Baghdad, it was the traitors of the Golden Horde, the White Horde, and others who colluded with the True God Cult to go north. Conquer them, and the Great Khan can once again convene the Kuritai Assembly. "Boyan expressed the idea of maintaining the status quo of the Ilkhanate.

Hearing that the Kuritai Conference was convened, Kublai Khan was finally moved. After the death of Möngke Khan, who had been elected at the Kuritai Congress, Kublai Khan ordered a new Kuritai Congress. Only Hulegu, the then leader of the Ilkhanate, sent people to support Kublai Khan. The other Chagatai Khanates, the Ogedai Khanates, and the Mongol-founded states such as the Golden Horde and the White Horde either supported Ali Buge or ignored Kublai Khan at all. Hao Ren had previously settled the Chagatai Khanate and the Ögedai Khanate, and Kublai Khan's current enemies should not be the Ilkhanate loyal to him, and traitors such as the Golden Horde, which had not been reunited under the Mongol banner, should be eliminated.

By the time Kublai Khan had determined his direction, it was already approaching evening. The generals of the Great Khan's pro-army returned to their orders, and they had already informed the defenders of Tabriz of the current situation by shouting and other means. Kublai Khan was satisfied with the efforts of the people, and let the situation continue to develop on its own.

As night fell, a procession of torch-carrying appeared in the streets of Tabriz. Walking in the middle of the line, Tigu Die'er's face was gloomy. Tigudier has never been able to understand why his father Hulegu and his brother Abha are so obedient to Kublai Khan, who is far to the east, why should the Ilkhanate thousands of miles away grovel? Now Tigu Dieer is beginning to understand a little. Just shouting the city during the day, there were many generals in Tabriz who were swayed. It was also thanks to those who believed in the True God that they patrolled around and caught some people who had secretly contacted Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongols.

It didn't take long for Tigu Dieer to arrive at the edge of the city. A bonfire was lit on the ground, and more than a dozen people near the bonfire were tied with ropes. Walking over and taking a look, Tiegu Dieer felt that there were a few people who were quite familiar. Turning his head to look at the generals who were being summoned, the owners of those guys all bowed their heads.

Secretly scolding these people in his heart, Tigu Dieer shouted loudly: "The purpose of Kublai Khan's coming this time is to annex our Ilkhanate, do you think that after Kublai Khan's success, he will only deprive me of my khanate?" There are so many men under him, which one doesn't need pastures, and which one doesn't need slaves. My throne was taken by Kublai Khan, and your place will be taken by Kublai Khan's men. Where can there be a reason to only deal with me and let you go. Confused, you are so confused. ”

As soon as these words came out, those generals were also skeptical. Tigu Dieer pointed to the people who were caught and said, "These people, one person will be whipped twenty lashes. Let it go. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tula, a white-bearded Cult of the True God, shouted: "Sultan, no! ”

First stop Tiegu Dieer from sending these people, and the white beard immediately approached, and whispered to Tigu Die'er Tigu Dieer: "Sultan." If they let it go, they know that they will not be punished for what they do. ”

These words hit the sore spot, and Tigu Die'er's face immediately became ugly. The white-bearded man immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Sultan, at this time, you must kill these messengers, and let those who send them know that they are powerful." It would be better to arrest a few people associated with Aruhun as well. ”

At the mention of Aruhun, Tigu Die'er's eyes flashed with murderous intent. During the day, the Mongol army outside the city called Cheng, and had already declared Aruhun the successor of the Ilkhanate. is the heir recognized by the Great Khan Kublai Khan. This news made Gu Die's angry seven tricks smoke. The heirs of the Mongolian ministries are elected by nomination, and they are all the ones with the strongest comprehensive strength among the ministries. The same is true of the Kuritai Assembly. Even if Genghis Khan strongly recommended Ogedei, it was also recognized by the Kuritai Conference.

Now it has become Kublai Khan who said that whoever is the heir is the heir, and the Mongolian tradition is completely destroyed. Thinking of this, Tigu Dieer trembled a little with anger. Glancing fiercely at the generals, Tiegu Dieer pointed at the errand runners and shouted: "These people are all beheaded!" ”

After saying that, turn around and leave. Those who had run errands before hearing that they had only been whipped twenty lashes were relieved. Suddenly, the situation changed dramatically, and the corporal punishment of twenty lashes turned into the death penalty of beheading. Immediately they began to cry out. When Tigudier heard the pleading of those people, he became even more angry, and he had no intention of forgiveness. The errand runners saw that it was useless to ask for help from Gudier, so they turned to their master for help. Where did those masters dare to speak up at this time.

Just as Tigu Dieer walked away, he heard a scream from behind. The executioners have begun to kill prisoners.

Do you just arrest and kill those Aruhun factions, Tiegu Dieer hesitated. Names crossed over his mind, but in the end, he still didn't give the order. Back in the palace, Tigu Dieer drank wine. He needed wine to soothe his spirits, and the war had put too much pressure on Tigudier to make him feel like he was being clutched by something.

Not long after, Tula the Whitebeard came to ask for an audience. When he arrived in front of Tigudier, Whitebeard saluted and asked, "Sultan, why did you spare those traitors?" ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, Tigu Dieer said indignantly: "I can't be sure who the Aruhun faction is right now. ”

"Whoever does not believe in the true God is an Aruhun." Whitebeard gave an answer without hesitation. From the beginning, he advocated so, and he still does. The holy scriptures of the true God say that the pagans are not trustworthy, but can only be trusted by the sword. Since the Sultan offered to return the Ilkhanate to the true God, have they ever been obedient in this matter? Never. Now that these people have finally found an opportunity to fight the true God, how can they let it go. The infidels were hostile to the Sultan from the very beginning. ”

"You! Go down! Tigu Dieer shouted.

Whitebeard looked at Tigu Die'er's expression, stood up and walked backwards away. When they came out, Whitebeard immediately went straight to where Tula was, and when the black-bearded and white-bearded saw Whitebeard come in, they immediately came up and asked, "How's that!" ”

"The Sultan is already tempted." Whitebeard said happily, "It seems that the Sultan has understood that true believers such as us cannot coexist with other infidels. ”

"Thank God!" A true god who lifts up his eyes to heaven and rejoices.

Whitebeard hurriedly said: "It's not time to celebrate, I don't think the Sultan has made up his mind. Let's first set the heretics who need to be purified by the sword, and if they dare to make the slightest move, we will do it directly. ”

The Tulas also knew that there could be no carelessness in this matter, and hurriedly replied: "Good! ”

Early the next morning, Boyan got up. As soon as I started breakfast, someone immediately reported, "Dashuai, some heads have been hung up at the head of the city." But they don't know who was killed. ”

Hearing the news, the commander of Boyan stuffed the food into his mouth as soon as possible, washed it down with milk, and then went to see Kublai Khan. When he arrived at the Great Khan's Golden Horde, without waiting for Boyan to speak, Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Boyan, I think you also know that people are starting to kill people in the city." ”

"It's time to do it." Boyan replied indifferently.
