240th Italian Campaign VIII
"Great Khan, the envoy of the Kipchak Khanate asks for an audience."
"Nope."
"Great Khan, the envoy of the Song State asks to see you. Or ask if you can put back the matter of the abolished emperor. ”
"Let them wait outside."
“……。 The Tibetan envoy asked for a meeting. ”
"Nope."
"The Tibetan envoy said......"
"I know. The Tibetan envoys still want to beg us to send troops, and the Song State has already taken Kangzang. Let them bear it themselves, where does Song Guo have the strength to take care of them. ”
……
The Golden Horde civil servant reported that he wanted to see Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan basically chose not to see him. Having people wait outside is worse than meeting, people outside wait from morning to night, and if they have the perseverance, they can continue to wait the next day. If it weren't for the situation of crying Qin Ting who had to ask for a meeting, the envoy would naturally know how to advance and retreat.
After these explanations, Kublai Khan suddenly asked, "Are there any interesting people?" ”
“…… The Great Khan, there was a messenger of the Venetian Republic who asked to see him. ”
"Oh! Well, it's been a long time since I've seen the Shears come to Baghdad. In the past, they had traveled thousands of miles to Helin. "Kublai Khan became interested when he arrived.
Since the Mongols took the Holy See from abduction, the Semu have not been visited. The civil officials knew that Kublai Khan wanted to have some fun, so they went out to make arrangements. Kublai Khan sat comfortably in his seat, waiting to meet the envoy. Since putting Timur in charge, Kublai Khan handed over some of the matters at hand to Timur. After Timur quit drinking, his performance has been able to satisfy Kublai Khan so far. Looking at the small number of royal courts, Kublai Khan was a little disappointed.
Not long after, a man of about the same height as the Mongols followed the civil official into the main hall. After seeing Kublai Khan, the envoy of the Republic of Venice hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, I have been instructed by the Doge of the Republic of Venice to inquire of you something. We're worried you don't know something. ”
Kublai Khan did not like to be questioned, but the envoy of the Republic of Venice was humble and replied: "Yes." ”
The messenger has been preparing how to deal with it along the way. At this time, when he had the opportunity, he asked: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Mongolian generals have fully cooperated with the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
This sentence surprised the courtiers in the court. Some are real experiences, some are pretending to be surprised. Kublai Khan's face sank, and he slowly asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The envoy saw the opportunity and immediately told Kublai Khan what he knew. There is so much cooperation between Da Song and Boyan, it is difficult to write. The most important thing is that the cooperation between the two sides is at sea. Each time they cooperated, it meant a great loss for the Republic of Venice.
Kublai Khan knew a lot of this. For example, the Great Song fleet transported grain for Mongolia. In the past, when the capital was set in Dadu, the ships of the Great Song Dynasty occupied the sea, and Mongolia was almost unable to enter the sea. Now in Baghdad, it is tens of thousands of miles away from the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea at that time, and the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty still occupies the Tianzhu Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea. In the Mediterranean, the Great Song fleet was still active. Every time he had to face this fact, Kublai Khan's pride was greatly affected.
The envoy of Venice saw that the Mongol Khan was angry, and thought that he had moved Kublai Khan, and hurriedly continued. Speaking of Mongol cooperation with the Song state to fight against Christian power, this is what Kublai Khan did not know. Although he had heard that the Crusader countries had a hostile interest in the Mongols, Kublai Khan did not know that Boyan had fought so many big battles without saying a word. Kublai Khan's expression couldn't help but relax a lot.
After listening to the revelation of the Venice envoy, Kublai Khan said to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites next to him: "Take these people down and inquire carefully." ”
When the Venetian envoys were forcibly taken away, the ministers looked at Kublai Khan, hoping to get some instructions from Kublai Khan. There are things that can be done, but not said. At this time, many variables were directly exposed, and Kublai Khan could have severely punished Boyan, or he could have acted as if nothing had happened.
Wait, wait, everyone only saw Kublai Khan frowning and looking at the center of the royal court. In the center of the royal court's golden hall is a portato-like part. This part is surrounded by glass, and the bright sunlight shines through the glass, making the huge golden temple much brighter. Now Kublai Khan is looking at the position of the sun.
Then Kublai Khan, frowning, rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands, and asked his subordinates, "Have you seen a big black bird under the sun, which is barking at me?" ”
The courtiers' eyes were cast into the shadows of the ground, and it had been a situation where birds had broken into the hall and flew around in it. But they were all small birds, like swallows. Now you don't see any birds in the light and shadow, and you don't hear any sounds.
At this moment, Kublai Khan stood up irritably and said angrily: "Stop screaming! ”
The eyes of the ministers fell on Kublai Khan, and then saw Kublai Khan fall forward, and the whole person lay on the ground softly.
With a 'Great Khan' who didn't know who, the ministers flocked to the front, wanting to lift Kublai Khan up and wake him up. But no matter how hard they tried, Kublai Khan remained unconscious. By the time Timur, who had received the crown prince's gift, arrived at the palace, Kublai Khan had already died.
From coma to death, the time was only ten minutes. As a means of death, it's a bit enviable. But Kublai Khan's death was a huge shock to the capital of the Mongol Empire, until the news of the Kuritai Congress, the permanent delegates of the prince of Baghdad immediately sent their best riders, the best horses, and set out in a procession. This important news must be delivered to the forces to which they belong as quickly as possible.
The Mongol royal court did not deliberately prevent these people from doing so, because it could not be stopped. The first thing the royal court had to do now was, of course, to determine how Kublai Khan died. According to the rules, the last person who saw Kublai Khan was naturally directly responsible. Although the time and space are different, the social system is different. But this style of 'touching porcelain' has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The last person to see Kublai Khan was the envoy of the Republic of Venice, who at this stage belonged to the camp of the Mongol enemy. The envoy was also a man of lust, and Timur, the crown prince of the current prison state, immediately told his ministers that he would cremate Kublai Khan in three days, in accordance with Mongol rules.
In the past, the Great Khan of Mongolia was buried in the valley after his death. This is a mysterious land where Genghis Khan is buried, because everyone knows that there is such a place, but they don't know the specific location of the Qiran Valley, let alone the specific burial location of the Mongolian Great Khan in the Qiran Valley. No matter how mysterious this place is, now everyone only knows that Qilin Valley is raging under the iron hooves of the Great Song army. No one dared to send the body of the Great Khan to the Qilin Valley for burial. So Mongolia chose cremation. The ashes are good to store, and they can wait until the Mongols have defeated the raging Song army before going to be buried.
Some of the old rules were changed by the powerful Song Kingdom, but others did not. Before cremation, slaves, horses, and concubines were killed to accompany Kublai Khan. Previously, Timur had learned the way of the Great Song Cemetery and built a cemetery for his father. Now after killing the slaves, horses, and concubines, they can be buried in a special burial pit in the cemetery, and the gold bottle containing Kublai Khan's ashes can also be secretly buried in the cemetery.
Timur declared, although the Mongols did not kill the emissaries. But the messenger of the Republic of Venice was unforgivable, and had to be the first sacrifice, and the five horses were divided.
The envoy of the Republic of Venice, who was imprisoned at this time, did not know that he was so unlucky that he was about to become a punching bag and sacrifice for the Mongols. The envoy was still wondering how he could continue to convince Kublai Khan so that the Mongol Khan could fall out with Boyan. If the Mongols had made a change of generals, the situation in Italy would have changed radically.
Marshal Boyan didn't know that his opponent would take such a move, and if he really knew, he would probably only laugh dryly. At this time, Marshal Boyan focused all his attention on the battle. The Mongol army held the camp for more than ten miles well, and no matter how the coalition forces provoked, the Mongol army could not hold out.
All the Mongolian generals knew the reason of Marshal Boyan, 'The coalition forces are not aligned, and as long as they drag on, they themselves will have internal conflicts over issues such as food and grass.' They are just a gang, and the so-called leader of the coalition is nothing more than a leader. ’
In a blink of an eye, it was June 16, 332 of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, it is already the beginning of August in the Western calendar, and in terms of solar terms, it has just passed the great heat, and the weather is very hot. The Mediterranean climate is exceptionally hot at this time. In order to get the latest news of the coalition forces, the Mongolian cavalry reconnoitred every day. Just running outside for a while, the Mongol cavalry in leather armor was sweating.
Walking through a small valley, the Mongol cavalry noticed that some women appeared to be escorted by soldiers to the coalition camp on the path in the forest opposite. The soldiers on both sides were nervous when they saw each other, and the Mongol cavalry retreated to a safer position, and the Italian soldiers went out of the road to protect the women. The women, urged by the other soldiers, picked up their pace.
After watching the women set off towards the coalition camp and finally disappear at the bend in the road, the young men of the Mongol army also chose to go back. When everyone returned to the camp, some of them couldn't help but ask, "Are those women camp prostitutes?" ”
"I guess so." The other horsemen replied.
"I really want to get us here." The brother who asked sighed.
Immediately the brother was warned, "The commander has ordered that no woman be allowed to be brought into the camp." Violators are beheaded. ”
This brother Tai also seems to be a sperm worm, and he sighed: "I know that the commander gave the order. If only it could be solved in the right place. I can give money. ”
This is a mixture of real longing and unfulfillment, and the combination of the two only gives a strong sense of comical. Everyone laughed together, and then it was over.
After another four days, the same group of brothers went on patrol. Walking around the road again, I saw a group of women appearing under the escort of soldiers. Unlike last time, this time the woman came out of the camp of the Italian coalition forces. Travel in the opposite direction from last time.
The soldiers on both sides spotted each other again, and the coalition forces held back the women again. The women who looked at their brisk steps last time seemed to have heavy steps this time, and they walked staggeringly. Seeing this situation, the Mongolian brother with the brains of the sperm worm not only did not retreat, but also angrily urged the horse to take a few steps forward, pointing at the Italian coalition troops and began to scold.
His choice of words is simple and clear, 'You bunch (beep...... You have women (beep...... and came out to show off. I didn't (beep...... )。 You wait, you all play with weak legs, when you get to the battlefield, Lao Tzu will kill you, and you will have to kill you...... Cut it off! ’
The other Mongolian brothers didn't expect this brother to hold back so much, and his brain seemed to be broken because of too much stimulation. Everyone wanted to laugh, but they saw this lonely man in front, completely ignoring the risks. It's just hard to laugh at. If someone sneaks up on someone with a cold arrow, everyone can't even save them.
I don't know if the Italian coalition forces didn't understand Mongolian, or if they were worried about the trap set by the Mongols. The Italian soldiers were closer to the road. In the midst of such a gap, one of the women suddenly pushed away from the coalition soldier next to him and rushed straight towards the Mongolian brother. Both sides didn't know what was going on, and some people on the Mongolian side had already aimed at the woman with bows and arrows because they were worried that the woman was here to assassinate.
At this moment, the Mongol brothers urged their horses forward, and before the allied soldiers who were chasing them arrived, they grabbed the woman, put her on the horse, and then turned the horse's head and withdrew into battle. Everyone withdrew from the starting point and began to discuss what to do with the woman.
Some people think it's just killing. As a result, everyone looked at the meadow behind the forest that made a strange noise not far away, and smiled bitterly, and the brother immediately dragged the woman to put out the fire. There is also a feeling that I put it outside first, and then say it. But the Mongol army doesn't come out on patrol every day, and there is a rotation. It's not feasible to do that.
While they were discussing, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of cavalry was passing by. Everyone looked at the cavalry's attire from afar, and their faces changed. It was Marshal Boyan's personal guard. The guards were all full of speed when they passed by, and they were talking to everyone when they heard something wrong. Seeing that the patrol had a strange reaction, the guards simply stopped to check. directly caught the brother who was busy with his work.
Dragged away from the woman, the brother didn't say a word, and punched him. Not long afterward, the patrol and the woman were caught in the camp by the guards. As long as you wait for Marshal Boyan to give the order, you will kill people.
Marshal Boyan patrolled the camp every afternoon, and happened to bump into it at this time. After listening to the words of the guards, and seeing the guards who were beaten purple by the reconnaissance cavalry, the marshal said in Latin, 'Drag them out and kill'. Marshal Boyan felt that if he spoke Mongolian, it would be difficult for the Mongolian scouts to deal with it.
As soon as the words fell, the Italian woman shouted in Latin, "My lord, my lord, spare my life." I was the daughter of a scholar in the neighborhood and was forcibly taken to work as a prostitute. I want revenge, please give me a chance to help the adults. ”
This Latin word is round and has a Roman Latin accent. Marshal Boyan groaned, and his murderous heart was shaken.
