The Crusades are over. Qishuwu.qishuwu.The unprecedented victory of great power, the devastating blow to the infidels, and the large amount of booty, land, and money plundered from the Holy Land, gave the Crusader kings great prestige, as well as substantial benefits. Among them, the greatest gain was the Norman Empire, the leader of the crusade, Egur Skadergrímsson.

Syria, Palestine, Egypt. Three princely titles, one for the whole of Syria, Cyprus, Alexandria, Sinai, Jerusalem. The large territory of the Near East gave the Norman Empire a great advantage in trade with the East in the future...... Egypt: Saladin dies and the kingdom is destroyed, and Egypt is divided into six.

Holy See: The new Pope Gregory VII has been restless lately. Although it is said that the Crusades ended victoriously, the successful recovery of Jerusalem is a good thing. However, the increase in the prestige of the Norman Empire, and indeed the kings of other countries, was an outright bad thing for him. Ecclesiastical power and imperial power are opposed. As the imperial power grew, the power of the European royal family increased, and the corresponding decrease in the power of the Holy See naturally increased. Not all of them are so religious. The ......, who would obediently watch the Holy See collect tithes, sell indulgences, and occupy a large amount of land in his domain, "is dying......" On a cloudy morning, Gregory VII got up and muttered to himself in mournful muttering as he looked at the gray void...... Iberia, the Spanish nations: Also with the victory of the Crusades, the kings of the three Spanish powers: León-Castil, Aragon and Portugal, bore great reproach from the nobility of their countries. Although in the Reconquista, several victories were achieved with the Eastern Roman Empire. However, these exploits are nothing compared to the Egyptian dynasty that the Crusaders recovered Jerusalem and destroyed Arabia.

The three countries did not receive any spoils, they did not receive any territory. Even because of this, some have been isolated by other countries. This made the nobles in the three countries feel very embarrassed, and the common people also feel very unhappy. It further shook the king's rule and even caused a rebellion among some nobles...... Eastern Roman Empire: Although also gained prestige, honor, spoils, and territory during the Crusades. However, many people felt that the Roman Empire had more to gain than to lose in this crusade. An army of 70,000 followed Basil II, and less than 30,000 returned. The loss of so many professional troops was enough for Basil II to suffer for a while. In addition, on the Iberian side, the Empire suffered another defeat in Iberia under the attack of the Three Kingdoms of Christ and the Sultanate of Córdoba.

In addition to this, the Christians, Norman, to be precise, were also disturbing in the Apennines and southern Italy. A large influx of merchants, explorers continued to pour into the weak areas under the jurisdiction of the empire, and even tentatively, settled several settlements here.

Such an act caused unease in the Roman Empire, but what could be done about it? The Eastern Roman Empire, which was now referred to as a sign of decay, no longer had the courage to speak in the face of the Norman Empire, which was in the middle of the day.

Sultanate of Moldova & Barbary States: Suffering from the double blow of the Norman Empire's huge fleet and pirate groups, the Barbary pirates suffered heavy losses. In the end, with the defeat and death of the pirate king Hayreddin, the last chance for the revival of the Barbary pirates was lost. At the same time, the Ottoman Turks, who had always supported the Barbary pirates, were in trouble and could not provide them with effective support.

And the young and resolute Sultan Arslan of Moldova saw the opportunity and threw an olive branch to the Barbary pirates. I hope that they will abandon Turkey and take himself as their ruler...... Ottoman Turkey: Already the third defeat. After Suleiman's ascension to the throne as sultan, Suleiman, who had high hopes, lost the war against the Eastern Romans for the third time. Whether it was the morale of the army, or the public opinion, or the nobles, they were all dissatisfied with him. On the battlefield in Asia Minor, although the war made some progress at the beginning. But soon, it came to naught under the powerful counterattack of the Eastern Roman princess Lilianu and the famous Eastern Roman general Narciss. ...,

Lost troops, money, materiel, equipment, food...... In short, the successive defeats of the Ottoman Turks cost the country considerable losses. And it was at this time that an unexpected army appeared on the border of the Turkish Empire...... Semi-Ma Tribe & Cuman: Under the strong rule of Ayujie Khan, a powerful khanate with a dualistic system of semi-Mama as the main ethnic group and Cumanjin as a second-class people, slaves and vassals was born. The Kalmyks entered their golden age of white spoons.

Of course, this golden age was not very long...... It's almost just over a year. At the same time that the vanguard army led by the cowardly Buhua entered Babylon, another more brilliant and terrifying Mongol general had already led the same number of elite Mongol troops into the territory of the half-entered horse.

Subutai, another powerful eagle dog of Gengusi Khan, one of the four Mongolian dogs, and one of the top ten heroes of Mongolia. Like a vicious wolf, he rushed into the territory of the half-entered horse, killing and plundering indiscriminately, and his actions completely angered the Ayujie Khan of Kalmykia. The war between the Banjin Khanate and the Great Mongol Khanate was officially started...... Mongol Empire: The Mongol cavalry that swept across the Asian continent continues its westward expansion. With speed not to stage, timid not to spend two ways into the horse as a pioneer. The Mongol Iron Horseman, one of the most terrible plagues and plagues in history, still looks unstoppable...... Mongols & Timurid Khanate: Another heavy defeat! Timur suffered another crushing defeat in the face of Gengush Khan's ghostly strategy! The forces gathered from the Indian battlefield and the garrisons drawn from other regions - a total of 600,000 troops - lost most of them after a great battle. The rest of them were also discouraged and no longer had the courage to resist the Mongols.

So, as a last resort, Timur chose to surrender, proclaimed himself a vassal to Gengush Khan, paid tribute, and offered protons. At the same time, he was completely deprived of his territory in Central Asia. The vast Persian Empire collapsed. Today, Timur retains only part of the territory in Pakistan, Afghanistan, northwestern India. His main focus was on regaining his military strength, boosting morale, strengthening his territory, and suppressing the insurrection of the indigenous people of Afghanistan and the Sikh invasion of India.

Sikhs: The Sikh patriarch Rangut launched a massive uprising! A large number of Sikhs declared independence, and these fierce Sikhs adopted Rangut as the Maharajab of Punjab. And organized an army to wage war with the army of Timur, which came to suppress it. The Sikh army, armed with scimitars and hoops, with excellent light cavalry units, as well as infantry and archers, now numbered 50,000. Their morale is high. Brave and fierce. Although it lacks organization and is poorly equipped. However, their white-spooned opponents are equally embarrassed. Timur's army still did not come out of the clouds of defeat on the 1st. In northwestern India, a great war is about to begin.

Maratha: A total of 300,000 Indian troops, led by King Chhatrapati, were defeated by the Don army, which was only half as numerous as them. The commander of the Tang Army, An Lushan, performed outstandingly.

And at his urging, a war began against the regime in southern India. Tang Emperor Li Longji, who was extremely keen on expanding the territory, gave him the greatest support for his love generals. The treasury and armory, which are no longer abundant, are all thinking of An Lushan's department to open up supplies. At the same time, Li Longji also gave him the right to "exercise restraint and control over major military and political affairs." This announced that the 500,000 troops in northeast India, the most elite armed forces of the Tang State, had all fallen into the hands of this Hu Zhi...... Tang Guo: Although it was still a time of war, Li Longji still maintained a high, luxurious and decadent life - or in this regard, Egur and he had a lot of common language. However, Egur would have objected to his practice of looting thousands of court ladies to enrich the harem and continuing to build the vast palace gardens. ...,

"You can't afford to raise so many women, don't you deserve to find yourself a green hat to wear? ”

"You can't live in so many houses, and build a palace on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? Are you idle and panicked?"

In short, Tang Xuanzong in his later years had a lot of egg pain. It seems that he will not give up until his empire is ruined.

By the way, the trade between the Tang Kingdom and the Norman Kingdom was already on the right track. The crusades that were in full swing not only did not interrupt this sea trade route, but on the contrary, entered the Normans and were secretly manipulated by Egur. The Norman merchants used the power of the Crusaders to suppress dissidents, monopolize trade, and earn more money.

Jiangnan: After a period of development, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Red Turban Army, the leader of the rebel army in the Jiangnan region, consolidated his power, expanded his territory, and became the largest warlord in the Jiangnan region. Tang and Mongolia were vying for his support. Tang Guokai's price code is the general manager of Jiangnan Road, and the envoy of Yangzhou Festival. And the Mongolian barbarians were even more vicious, and Jingran even took out the title of king and prince. Temujin said in a mocking voice: "If you are a vassal to me, I will help you to send a million Mongol troops to help you dominate Jiangnan." While ordering the genuine Taishi King Mu Huali to train the navy desperately...... All this made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very uneasy. Bi Jing only has 100,000 lone troops in his hands. It's just a province. In the face of the Tang State and the two behemoths of Mongolia, the leader of the rebel army was at a loss......
