To this day, this series of wars is still having a huge impact.

Representatives of Novgorod and Moscow began to greet the dignitaries as they entered the venue. They were especially enthusiastic about Guo Kang and Li Xuanying, and said that they must be allowed to come to greet them.

Needless to say, Guo Kang here. Ever since his uncle Guo Li, known as "Old Peter" in the Rus' mouth, he was stationed in Novgorod and brought many unexpected benefits to the locals. The Petrograd port is still generating huge profits for the Novgorod Republic, which they cannot ignore casually.

As for Li Xuanying, it's even simpler.

His grandfather, Li Yinglin, was the famous man who received three arrows from his father, who turned the tide at the critical moment of the "Civil War" and left a deep impression on the Rus' countries.

At that time, the Northern Ya rebels, allied with the Poles, marched south, and rushed along the Dnieper River to the hinterland of the Purple Horde, threatening to take Varna, where the Great Ear was located, and expel the Khitans, Greeks, and the false Great Khan they supported. On the way, some Rus' principalities and steppe tribes joined one after another. The Hungarians also mobilized when they heard the news, and attempted to move eastward to regain the eastern part of the country that had been lost.

In the face of a strong enemy, the Queen Regent Maria Kedun panicked, and while planning to cede the land for peace, she secretly prepared ships and prepared to take her son to escape back to her parents' house and take refuge in Moreah. She ordered Li Yinglin, Cao Xun, Guo Shuai and others, who were on the southern front at the time, to stop military operations, negotiate peace with surrounding forces, and escort the Khan's court to escape.

The princes of the families were quite dissatisfied with this order. Taiwei Wang Fangzhong, Zuo Prime Minister Ye Lujian, Dazong Zhengfu Zalu Hu Chi Tali and others mediated and persuaded everyone that when the country was in danger, they should not openly destroy the system. Even if the Queen Mother's order is unreasonable, we must first seek a solution within the system.

A group of old ministers went to visit Mary Kedun, which explained that it was very powerful. Jerry pointed out that the Palaiologous family was scattered, and the self-proclaimed emperor John V could not fight not only the Ottomans, nor Serbia, nor the usurper John VI Kantakuzenus. Even, he and his sons could not unite and divide each other in a small territory.

The Northern Song Dynasty had only one Huizong and one Qinzong, but the Palaiologous Dynasty had a group of Huiqin. Such a small regime has no prospects, and there is no need to think about them at all.

That should be true, but Maria Kedun had more ideas. She thinks that since her father and brother are all wrecks, she can clean up the mess. The struggle for the north should be abandoned, and the Greek regions in the south should be remedied. She was sure that with the help of diplomatic conspiracy, the rebels, the Poles, and the Hungarians would soon fight for loot and not come to the trouble here.

And the army of the Khan's court is enough to deal with the Greeks, and it is completely possible to blow away the waste father and the waste brothers, and become the empress of Rome herself, and afterwards, it will give everyone more power.

She thought that this exchange of interests would satisfy the ministers, but this compromise made the ministers completely disappointed, and they turned to support the Marquis of the Southern Army.

However, Li Yinglin believes that this is a good opportunity. Originally, he was worried that the Ottomans would take advantage of the fire to rob, but the Queen Mother's stupidity was just right, just enough to paralyze the enemy. The Ottomans were happy to see the Greeks continue to fight and would stay on the sidelines for the short term. As long as they can neutralize at least one enemy in the north before they react, the situation will be much better. So, now instead of tearing your face.

Soon, the peace talks were successfully completed. The Southern Ya armies were ordered to take their divisions and return to Da Ear to escort the Khan's court. However, on the night of entering the city, there was a bloodless palace change.

Li Yinglin and others, citing the example of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the doctor and the boxers admonished the king of Chu, led the army into the palace and captured Maria Kedun. The cowardly Xue on duty did not interfere, but Kedun fled in a hurry and was captured by the Southern army outside the city.

The prime minister, the Taiwei and others have counted the crimes of the queen mother, accusing her of being a chicken Si Chen, interfering in state affairs, and even plotting for a big position, and her thoughts are clearly revealed. If it is not stopped, Daqin will suffer the same calamity as Empress Wu and Empress Wei like the Tang Dynasty.

The Great Khan was filial and could not bear to do anything to his mother. However, social affairs are more important than personal feelings, so the ministers are forced to enforce the law of the country on their behalf.

In the future, it is necessary to reaffirm the ancestral system, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The Great Khan swore an oath with the pillars to keep his promise.

The ministers planned to make the Queen Mother a monk in accordance with the old Greek customs. But they are too unfamiliar with the habits here, and they don't know that there are processes such as eye scarring, so they think it is shaving. As a result, Jongsho Tari was in charge, and Maria Kedun had her head shaved and exiled to the island under house arrest.

This incident once again proves that it is useless to play conspiracy if it cannot be defeated. Of course, the Greeks did not lack this case at all......

Of course, this is only the first step. After stabilizing the interior, Li Yinglin immediately set out north to intercept the rebels.

At this time, the rebels gathered more and more, claiming to have 100,000 people. Many of the middle and lower rank officers in the army, from Bulgaria and Wallachia, were a little afraid of the enemy and asked him what to do. Li Yinglin told them with a disdainful look that it was because they had little knowledge.

He told everyone the examples of Ban Chao, Li Jing, Yelu Dashi and others, and told them that it was the daily routine of his hometown to defeat 100,000 Central Asian and Turkic armies with thousands or even hundreds of people. It's just that these newcomers don't know how to do it, so they are frightened by this small scene.

In Eastern Europe, these Porjees (known as Poland in Yuan history) and Magyars (known as Hungary in Yuan history) were mixed with Hu, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Turks, otherwise they should have fought Jerusalem. It can be seen that the rebels look at a lot of people, but they are actually a group of local chickens and dogs. In the past, there were no people who could fight to command, so they seemed to be powerful. Now, he will show you what it means to fight.

The crowd will be skeptical of his story, and feel that it is an exaggeration. At this time, the patriarch of the army, Daochang Yin, stood up and told everyone that in fact, God had already intended this, but everyone was not pious enough to feel it.

Daochang Yin summoned the officers and soldiers, took out a handful of small silver coins, and showed them them. These are ordinary Roman silver coins that don't look anything special. He then prayed that if God really wanted them to win, and therefore sent the warlike Seris to lead them, then please perform a miracle so that all the silver coins would be face up.

He took the coin back, put it in his hand, shook it a few times, and threw it on the sacrificial table in front of the cross. Everyone took a closer look, and more than a dozen silver coins were really facing up, and they immediately let out a burst of exclamation. Yin Daochang ordered people to nail the silver coin on the table with a holy relic iron nail and show it to the whole army.

The soldiers in the army had never seen so much of the world, and they all shouted miracles.

Yin Daochang said that in fact, God had already blessed the Romans with victory over the barbarians more than once, and such records are everywhere in the history of the church. It's just that now that the church is in decline and has lost the noble feelings of the ancient apostolic era, the level of the country priest is indescribable, and it is impossible to tell you so much.

However, God is a noble god who wants to save face. Divine grace is not just given to anyone. People are picky.

If you just believe in God and go to the temple to worship a few times, and God recognizes you as a devout disciple and blesses you, then God has not become a peddler who sells divine graces, and it is too shameless? This is obviously impossible.

God is not a stupid and bad lord in the countryside, who unprincipledly favors his relatives and favored ministers. The reason why God loves the world is because God is just and strict and does not show favoritism. Only those who were virtuous and capable, who could care for their citizens and protect the Roman Empire, could be protected by God.

Now, everyone really believes it.

Of course, whether it is the identity of the Khitans, or the banner of the Roman legions, or the divine grace of God, in fact, they cannot directly increase people's combat effectiveness. But if everyone believes from the bottom of their hearts that it really works, then they will be more determined and more motivated. And the more determined the army, the higher the combat effectiveness.

Guo Kang has always suspected that all of their old Li family are so capable of blowing, and they have been trained on the battlefield. However, bragging can only be done for a while, and their ability to realize the big words they have blown out is the fundamental reason why people have been believing in the past few decades. And this is really people's ability.
