The boat was parked on the dock in Cairo City, and as soon as Hao Ren came ashore, he smelled a breath of human life. In such an era, not every corner of the city is clean. However, there is a big difference between whether there is a special public toilet or not, and if the city itself is treated as a large public toilet, the whole city will be filled with this smell.

Riding a camel through the streets, Hao Ren arrived at his destination, the official residence of the governor of Egypt. It was a relatively grand building, but it didn't interest Hao Ren in the slightest. Not to mention the beauty and grandeur of Hangzhou, many of the mansions in New Baghdad are more eye-catching than the official residence of the Egyptian governor.

As an uninvited guest, Hao Ren waited in the hall for a while before he saw the Egyptian governor Boyan appear at the door of the hall. Ordinary people will have some emotional fluctuations for old acquaintances they haven't seen for a long time, but Hao Ren doesn't. At least he had been in constant communication with Boyan for so long. Ordinary people will talk more enthusiastically and freely when they see old acquaintances, but these two high-ranking and powerful people can't do what ordinary people can do. Hao Ren really wanted to say something that would make Bo Yan happy, but he found that his emotions were not shocked, and he simply didn't go to search for emotions that didn't exist.

"Handsome Boyan, long time no see."

"Lord Hao Ren, long time no see."

With such a bland greeting begins, the two sit down. Hao Ren didn't greet either, and asked directly: "I don't know if Marshal Boyan knows about the riots in Baghdad." ”

"I heard that Lord Hao Ren was in Baghdad at the time, can you tell me about it."

After exchanging information in this regard first, Boyan also inquired about the incident of Da Ma Ba Ra being poisoned, and Hao Ren told Bo Yan about it. After telling this information, Hao Ren asked Boyan what he thought of the situation after the Pope fled back to Europa.

"I don't know." Boyan replied calmly.

Hao Rendeng's eyes widened, and he said very unhappily: "Even if you perfunctory me, please also tell some comments." ”

Seeing that Hao Ren was really angry, Boyan sighed: "Do you think that the Pope can fight if he wants to?" How many soldiers does the Pope have in his hands? I didn't see the papal guards after I stormed Rome. The countries of Europa had troops, and the pope gave them a reason, an excuse, and they used it to send troops. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know about the Europa countries. ”

Even though he knew that this was very useful, Hao Ren couldn't help but feel a little angry. With a burst of anger in his heart, Hao Ren found words that were close to his mood at this time, "Marshal Boyan is causing trouble now, but I am the first to bear the brunt." Moreover, when he was in Baghdad, the Great Khan said that after the Pope was captured, he did not see a single soldier from the countries of Europa. I did not inform the Great Khan of the war with the Knights of Europa. I don't know why Lord Boyan didn't say it. ”

"You don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to get myself in trouble. If the Great Khan had known that the Knights of Europa were trying to save the Pope, he would have ordered an expedition. Will you be a pioneer then? Boyan replied indifferently.

Hao Ren was speechless. At this time, he was no longer angry, but a little aggrieved.

Bo Yan looked at Hao Ren coldly, and his tone was not shocked, "The Great Khan is now arrogant, and what he ordered to ask for is a battle of will. The more it does, the more the state wastes. And you and I bear the brunt. It's useless for you to blame me. We have done everything we can to protect ourselves. ”

“…… Let me think again. Hao Ren didn't answer. The question pointed out by Boyan made Hao Ren suddenly enlightened, and it was difficult to accept it immediately. A high-spirited monarch is probably a faint monarch, and the faint monarch may have fulfilled the responsibility of 'carrying the black cauldron, I will come', but the loyal ministers in the court have to face the fate of 'sending you to death' one after another. If he hadn't made a move for the benefit of the Yuan Kingdom, everything Hao Ren had done for Mongolia over the years would have been a simple loss-making deal.

Seeing Hao Ren pondering for a moment, Boyan said: "At the moment, the Yuan Kingdom and Egypt are in front, and the Great Khan has used a little bit of the strength of the Ilkhanate to use troops in the north of Tianzhu. The other khanates didn't have to do anything. Actually, I think the Great Khan may have had some calculations in doing this. If the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ögedai Khanate were to send troops, God knows what the khans of these khanates would propose to the Great Khan. So simply don't give them a chance to mess up. ”

“…… The Great Khan wouldn't ask for anything more, would he? Hao Ren asked with some fear. He had not expected reinforcements from Mongolia to deal with Poland in the west, as long as the Kipchak Khanate did not take advantage of the fire behind his back. In fact, it is not very likely that the Kipchak Khanate will take advantage of the fire to loot.

After listening to the analysis of the Great Marshal Boyan, Hao Ren was worried that if Kublai Khan woke up to his sense of responsibility as the Great Khan of Mongolia and launched a new expedition to the west. With the Great Khan's current ability to rule, just imagining the future of the Western Expedition made Hao Ren's back chill.

“…… I wonder what plans for the future of Boyan Dashuai? ”

"I want to go on an expedition to Italy, and I have a territory in Italy."

“…… If Marshal Boyan leaves Egypt, I am afraid that the new Egyptian governor will not be able to manage the canal. ”

"If I don't want to go, can I not go? Lord, you also know the riches of Egypt, and I can still hold on to it when I am alive, but when I die, and my children are still young, how can he keep the errand of the governor of Egypt. Rather than fall into the middle of the road at that time, it is better to find another way early. Having a territory in Italy is my best bet. ”

What Bo Yan said was pitiful, and Hao Ren felt that he had no way to deny it. Based on Hao Ren's experience, if he wants to get a piece of his own land now, he can only go to the frontier of the Mongol Empire to open up. Hao Ren was allowed to expand on the frontier only after Kublai Khan defeated various separatist forces in the Mongol Empire and greatly weakened their strength and territory. If he had stayed in the Mongol Empire, perhaps Hao Ren would have become the target of extermination.

"How long can this last?" Hao Ren felt that Marshal Boyan must have a comprehensive plan.

"We can't call the shots."

Departing from Cairo by boat, as the ship sailed into the Mediterranean, Hao Ren found that he had not much sympathy for the marshal Boyan. Ten days ago, Boyan was handsome and pretended to be pitiful, and Hao Renzhen was moved. It took four days to visit the city of Cairo and another eight days to visit several of Egypt's major agricultural regions. Now that he has left Egypt, Hao Ren began to suspect that Marshal Boyan was not telling the truth at all. With Boyan Marshal's familiarity with Kublai Khan, he must have known Kublai Khan's choice, but Boyan just refused to share it with Hao Ren.

The ship took Hao Ren to Alexandria, where he set off on a freighter. All the way through, soon stopping at Rhode Island. It was already the second island of the Great Song Dynasty in the Mediterranean, and compared to Cyprus, which was next to the Mongol territory, Rhodes was considered a safer place due to the weaker Eastern Roman Empire.

It was no longer the Crucidian faces that were active in the harbor, and looking at these Eastern faces, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of what he saw and heard when he visited Cairo. Slaves were bought not only by the True God, but also by nobles from the black countries of southern Africa. These people are very fond of buying Semu. They seem to prefer to buy young men over women. Hao Ren asked the people over there puzzled, could it be that the black country in the south lacked strong labor? The answer was that the men were bought back not only to make them slaves, but also to assign local black women to wives. In this way, it is possible to give birth to a relatively white domestic slave.

Rhodes is home to tens of thousands of Hospitallers and locals. Later, the Knights Templar sent tens of thousands of troops to save the besieged island of Rhodes. The two men together numbered 40,000 or more, and they either went to God or to the slave market in Cairo to meet the buyers, and it was not known which side was more fortunate.

A large number of oriental faces are busy building lighthouses and other buildings, and some of the foundations that have been repaired are installing huge fan blades of windmills. Looking at the sites under construction, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh that the Han people seemed to have the talent of craftsmen.

There were regular ships from Rhode Island to Yuanguo, and Hao Ren soon boarded the nearest ship and began to head north. When he saw the port of Odessa, all the negative emotions disappeared cleanly. The thought that it would not be long before he could return to Kiev, to his country, to his home. Other thoughts are naturally ruled out.

It took three days to return to Kiev from Odessa, and as soon as Hao Ren returned home, his son and daughter immediately jumped up and hugged him. Holding the children and listening to the chirping of these little guys, Hao Ren felt that it was good to go home.

By the next day, hearing only the third article of the recent report, Hao Ren couldn't help but be furious, and the Teutonic Knights sent envoys to declare war on the Yuan State again. Until now, the Yuan State had not really thought about settling the Teutonic Knights, Poland and Lithuania bordered the Yuan State, and they were the primary and secondary targets. The Teutonic Knights, which did not border the Yuan Kingdom at all, were blindly mixed with anything.

"How many times did the Teutonic Knights come while I was away?" Hao Ren asked angrily.

"Came twice. In addition, the Lithuanian state also came once, and they also said that they would crusade against us for the sake of the Holy See. ”

"Humph! When these two countries were destroyed, all the men were taken and sold to the black men of the South for breeding. Hao Ren said viciously. But after saying that, he suddenly felt that there was something feasible about this deal. As long as the Song State was contacted, the Semu prisoners of war could be sent directly to the black countries in southern Africa by the fleet. After seeing the slave market in Cairo, Hao Ren realized that the price of selling captives to Egyptian slave traders was too low. The nobility of the black country would pay a lot of money to buy slaves on the market.

"King, King." The official looked at Hao Ren's thoughtful expression and couldn't help but call softly.

"Poland didn't send anyone?" Hao Ren asked.

"Poland has not moved, and I don't know what they are up to."

"Then go ahead and debrief." Hao Ren said. Listening to the whole report, Hao Ren was a little exhausted. He pulled out a small notebook and read the to-dos he had recorded while in Baghdad. After reading the first item, Hao Ren ordered: "Find a special old Houshan stallion, and cooperate with five first-class Houshan horses to send to the Khan King of the Kipchak Khanate." ”

The courtiers didn't know what this meant, so they could only write it down and prepare to draft an edict or warrant, which was to be issued after Hao Ren signed it.

Hao Ren's orders were mostly actions to liaise with various khanates. When he arrived in Baghdad this time, Hao Ren found that the khans were not as hideous as he imagined. Looking back now, when the khanates of various countries were the enemies of Hao Ren, it was Hao Ren who was ordered to go to crusade against the various khanates. Maybe in the eyes of the various Khan kings, Hao Ren is the one with a hideous face.

At this time, it was already April 331 of the Great Song Dynasty, and Hao Ren went to inspect the wheat harvest after giving the order. The vast black soil of Ukraine is either densely forested or golden ripe wheat fields. Anyone who was able to work in the wheat fields had probably already rushed to the harvest. The sooner you harvest the day, the sooner you can plant your soybeans. Winter in the Yuan Kingdom came relatively early. By planting soybeans a day earlier, many losses can be reduced.

This time he went to Egypt, and what Hao Ren envied the most was the agricultural production areas of Egypt. The fertile Nile Valley, which became very fertile due to silt after the Nile flooded, could grow two crops of grain. The freshwater canal that leads from the Nile to the Egyptian Canal is no longer the main channel for boats, but it serves to irrigate the nearby land. The canal can also easily transport grain, and Hao Rencai, who has seen this, does not believe that Marshal Boyan will really give up Egypt.

The biggest advantage of Egypt compared with the Yuan Kingdom is that there is no winter. As long as there is water in the grain-producing areas of Egypt and the fertility of the land is not reduced too much, it can continue to produce food.

In order to compete with God, King Hao Ren worked with the laborers of the Yuan Kingdom during the inspection, and he had to cook for the laborers of the Yuan Kingdom with the cooking staff, and he wanted to cheer everyone up. After five days of traveling, Hao Ren received a spy report that the Teutonic Knights suddenly sent troops to attack Warsaw, and the Knight Army's army failed to succeed in the surprise attack, so they could only stop the city. They sent emissaries to the Polish nobles, announcing that the Teutonic Knights were going to conquer the Yuan for the exiled Holy See, and asked all the Polish nobles to follow the Teutonic Knights in Warsaw.

Sensing the danger, Hao Ren returned to Kiev to convene the courtiers to discuss the matter, and when he told what had happened, Hao Ren asked, "What do you think the Teutonic Knights are going to do?" ”

Jiang Guangtou touched the smooth head and the top of his head, and said slowly: "Look at this meaning, the Teutonic Knights want to annex Poland. I don't know what they will do after they annex Poland. ”

Wei Jingwang hurriedly followed and said, "After annexing Poland, it will definitely start a war with us. ”

Shang Kele, the general of the government soldiers, replied unhappily: "The Teutonic Knights have now started a war with our Yuan Kingdom. ”

These words only gave a general description of the situation, and did not say anything about the solution that Hao Ren was expecting, and Hao Ren had to say by himself: "Then what should we do?" Sit back and watch the Teutonic knights and the Polish princes eat dogs, or use them to do something. ”

My lord, if we want to deal with the Teutonic knighthood with Poland, we must first have a good lobbyist. Someone said, everyone's eyes fell on that man, and it turned out to be General Wu Yougui, who had been fighting against Poland.

"Who is responsible?" Hao Ren asked.

"There was a Crucidian Orthodox priest on our side named Joseph Dzhugashvili. After studying the scriptures in a local Orthodox monastery, after the establishment of the Yuan Kingdom, many people tried to rebel, and this Joseph Dzhugashvili personally went to various places to inform the local Semu people that the Orthodox scriptures said that people need to accumulate merit and choose the right path to save themselves, so that they can be saved after death after being approved by God. Obedience to the government is a necessary means of self-help. With his desperate lobbying in various places, the local people did not rise up in rebellion, and the diocese where Joseph Dzhugashvili was located was not swept away by us. ”

"Oh? There is such a guy. Interesting. Hao Ren said with a smile. But after laughing, he asked, "Does he really believe in God?" I really believe that God should be a demon monk. ”

Wu Sangui replied slowly: "Whether it's a demon monk or not, then I don't know." However, the second son read a lot, and I heard that he did not talk much about God during his sermons. I think of this man only because we really don't have any good people here, and if we send our own people, those Poles will probably think of the captive woman first. ”

The last sentence caused laughter in the audience, and what Yuan Guo adopted against Poland was a plundering tactic. Destroy farmsteads, villages, and cities on the border between Yuan and Poland. Kill the men and kidnap the young women. Hao Ren smiled a few words and said: "In the future, when we fight against Poland, men will be taken prisoner if they can." They can sell it for some money. Don't waste it. As for this Joseph, he will call me first. ”

Three days later, Joseph was brought to the court. The ministers all thought that this young man looked very good, and he looked upright. It makes people feel trusted. After Joseph saluted Hao Ren, he didn't say much, and stood very calmly in the position arranged for him.

"Can you speak official language?" Hao Ren asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I can say something." Joseph replied in thick consonants and an exotic tongue-curling tone.

"I want you to go to Poland."

"For what, King."

"Now Poland is under siege by the Teutonic Knights, perhaps in crisis. You can tell the Grand Duke of Warsaw that if he is willing to submit to me, we can help them resist the Teutonic Knighthood. If the Grand Duke of Warsaw is unwilling, you can go to the other nobles who have been attacked by the Teutonic Knights and see if they are willing to submit to us. ”

"What does the king want to give them?"

"We will recognize their fiefdoms and recognize their current power. However, they must submit to us and officially exist as nobles of the Yuan Kingdom. ”

"Don't you ask them to convert first?"

"Conversion? Will the faith of the Holy See of the Cross Sect be changed to the Orthodox faith of the Cross Church? ”

When Joseph heard this question, he didn't answer it immediately, he stared at Hao Ren for a moment before continuing: "Great King, if the nobles are not baptized by pain, and they don't feel pain, how can they really believe in your persuasion. ”

Hao Ren didn't really want to persuade the Polish nobles to surrender. Now the Yuan Kingdom is just not strong enough, and when the strength is strong, these nobles will all have to be wiped out. In the face of Joseph's conditions of persuasion, he was really shocked.

"Convert and hand over the hostages. Very high taxes, presented to women. The soul and body of sinners will be scourged. This kind of pain will make their souls truly surrender. This kind of pain will really believe that they are giving their best. Only after their dedication will they truly believe that the king needs their dedication, and they will truly look forward to your blessings. ”

The ministers listened to Joseph's advice, and most of them had disbelief on their faces. Such a cruel remark came from the mouth of a young priest who looked no more than twenty years old, and it was still a handsome, upright and awe-inspiring priest, and there was an inexplicable persuasiveness. A handful of courtiers covered their mouths with their hands, almost laughing. What they felt was visibly funny.

“…… Okay, so be it. Hao Ren didn't feel convinced, nor did he think it was funny. He also thought it would be very difficult to fish in troubled waters among the enemy, and the reason why he did this was just to try it out and not lose a piece of meat. After reading the evaluation of religion and feudal sects in the "Theory of the State Contract", Hao Ren felt that it did not matter how many priests like Joseph Zhugashvili died.

After the agricultural harvest on this side, the good news of industry on the other side came. The ironworks, which had invested a lot of money, finally produced iron, and the initial products were wrought iron, white iron, and gray iron. These ironware are still not cheap, but they are much cheaper than imports. Then Hao Ren found that the huge investment in the ironmaking plant was only the beginning, and the ironworking factory in the future still needed huge investment. Gritting his teeth, Hao Ren allocated a huge amount of money again and smashed it in.

It took less than a month for the situation of the Yuan Kingdom to be teleported to Zhao Jiaren. The news of Kiev was first sent to the Western Regions Protectorate, where most of the Western Regions had been restored, through the Mongolian post station. Then from the Western Regions Protectorate along the telegram to Hangzhou. After being processed by the relevant departments, it was sent to Zhao Jiaren.

The intelligence department said that if Hao Ren's side can handle it better, the message delivery time can even be shortened to 20 days in the future. This made Zhao Jiaren very happy, the news could be sent to Hao Ren in twenty days, which meant that within a month, Zhao Jiaren's news could reach the Eastern European Division of the Great Song Dynasty. In the past, it took a lot more time.

In addition to these, Zhao Jiaren also finds it very interesting to see how the situation in Europe is changing. This kind of mentality of not caring about oneself is not very suitable for Europe, after all, Da Song also has a finger stuck in Europe and began to stir. These changes are bound to lead to some changes.

In addition, after the uprising in Baghdad, various uprisings and riots began to appear throughout the Arab region against Mongol rule. In order to be able to suppress the rebellion, the Mongol army had to suppress it in various riot sites, and even had to draw troops from the front line against Tianzhu.

Zhao Jiaren even had an idea that he wanted to try and see what it was like to knock down dominoes.
