Chapter 135: The Past of Northeast Rus

The change in policy of the Purple Horde left Moscow dumbfounded. It seems that they have not only been recognized for the position of the metropolis, but they have also been promoted and directly become the patriarch, but now there are patriarchs everywhere here, which is not the same as taking it for nothing......

And the act of soliciting country priests is a direct struggle with various principalities for control of the countryside. The principality's top brass tried to stop these acts, even sending people to intercept and arrest wild priests. But as a result, things are even more troublesome.

Originally, it was just the Church of Junbao that was propagating, and it was all up to the monks sent to run errands and inform the dioceses, and people might ignore it, and the speed of transmission was very slow.

As a result, they were so brutally manipulated that all localities were notified that the Grand Duke was arresting the country priest. Why catch? Of course, it's because Junbao wants to recruit them!

Now it's okay, there's no need to advertise, now everyone knows about it.

In addition to this, the Moscow Church has also thought of a lot of ways to try to deal with the Church of Kimburg, but unfortunately, their tactics are not very mature and they are no match for the Greeks.

Before the Civil War, Moscow also wavered for a while, but in the end, it managed to take sides again and maintain its dominant position.

Not long after the end of the war, the performance of the army of the Purple Horde impressed the locals. Many people still remember the classic example of a few thousand people defeating an army of 100,000 in one day.

Although a closer look at the history of the war, this figure is estimated to be exaggerated. But the problem is that in this era, everyone's army is full of water, and no one dares to say that their soldiers are all those 10,000 elites, not other tens of thousands of paddling.

Moreover, the tactics carried out by the Purple Horde army were based on their ability to execute. Without this ability, no matter how smart the commander is, it is useless. On the contrary, as long as there is such ability, a mediocre commander can also play a classic operation according to the military book. Can the armies of the Rus' countries really go toe-to-toe with them now?

In this case, many people did not dare to gamble and violently confront the Castle Church.

The other Rus' principalities, looking at the righteousness and awe-inspiring one by one, want to maintain their independence all day long, and can't get along with the Purple Horde, but their thoughts, everyone knows very well.

Princes and nobles, which one is not a descendant of Rurik? Back then, everyone came all the way here to rule the Slavs. Rome or Mongolia, as long as it contributes to this goal, can listen to them; And if you threaten your power and future, you have to find a way to do something.

Why do they still want to rebel from time to time? Under the current system, only Moscow has the position to govern all of Rus. Others want it, but this system doesn't give it, and those who think they have this qualification can only find a way outside the system.

After discovering that they really couldn't beat the purple tent, the princes' minds would of course change. If Moscow takes the lead in rebellion at this time, there will be more people who are jealous of his position and are ready to replace him himself. He himself started by reporting others, can't others learn from it?

For the sake of the overall situation, I can only endure it.

It is also because of this that the old queen mother's reputation among the top leaders in Moscow is quite bad, and everyone is very unconvinced by her.

After all, while the Greeks often looked down on the Rus, the Rus' princes looked down on the Greeks equally.

When the Rurik dynasty was first established, the Greeks were much stronger than they are now, and the queen Seofano was more insidious and cunning than the Queen Helena. Today they united with the Bulgarians, tomorrow with the Pechenegs, and tried by all means to lay siege to Kievan Rus', but the result was not the second tribute that was beaten.

The princes and boyars, therefore, often speak harshly in the country, saying that this old lady is taking advantage of the situation to bully people. If it weren't for the Northern Yajun beside him, he would have followed the deeds of Grand Duke Igor back then, went to Junbao, and scared her out of the.

When the Queen Mother fell, Muscovites rejoiced. The Grand Duke sent his younger brother Daniel to Dadu to meet the new Tsar, saying that he had always been very loyal, and that he could change his previous decision for the sake of this.

Basil III pondered for a moment and told him that he believed in Moscow's current loyalty, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the palace.

But people's ambition is not innate, nor is it always constant, but always ups and downs with different circumstances.

Moscow now wants more. And if they have more power and higher status, they can still ask for more.

He advised Daniel to go back and tell his brother that he was willing to believe that he was humble, that he had no excessive desire for power, and that he would remain loyal to Rome at all times. But there are many things in the world that cannot be decided by individuals. If the boyars insisted on his independence and gave him the crown of Baselius, would he not have been sadly forced to accept it?

As Baselius, he could now take the initiative to make the Grand Duke of Moscow a co-ruler and elevate the Moscow Church to the level of Constantinople. So if the loyal Moscow defeated the other Rus' principalities and took control of these lands, how could he reward and promote them? This is beyond the reach of human beings, and I am afraid that only the Heavenly Father can give this higher reward.

Basil said that if there was a rebellion, it would not be able to defeat Rome, and the result would definitely be his own death and the destruction of his family. He had great respect for the great ancestors of the nobility and wanted to preserve their status and lineage. So, for the sake of the ancestors, just be a happy prince honestly, don't think so much.

Daniel broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and after he went back, he said everywhere, this tsar is very powerful, everyone should not make trouble.

However, it turned out later that the Rus' probably liked this kind of ruler. Especially after the Anda War, as he really showed his ability and brutally dealt with a group of boyars who took advantage of the rebellion, the various dioceses in the Great Rus region were stabilized. So far, there have been no unexpected changes.

The contradiction between the three churches has not completely disappeared.

The Romanian Church has always considered itself an official organization, and the other two are temporary workers in Zhao'an; The Church of Junbao believes that it is the most sacred being, and the other two are grass platform teams and subordinate institutions; The Rus' church considered itself to be the most laborious, and the other two were façade organizations that were cultivated by different dynasties.

They will also join forces with each other to see that the third party is not pleasing to the eye. The Church of Romania and the Church of Castle believed that the Church of Rus was now a club run by a gang of barbarians; The Rus' Church and the Church of Castle considered the Romanian Church to be a wild heresy; The Romanian Church and the Rus' Church believed that the Church of Kimburg was a bunch of rubbish who only talked about it.

Even now, in the cathedral, you can see these people from different factions making trouble with each other.

Guo Kang often goes over there, so he is very familiar with their situation, so he wants to pull away from Huan to mediate with these people, asking them not to make trouble in the future. After all, he himself is often active here, and he always feels annoyed by people making trouble all day long.

But the old mother who was detached said that it was normal to make trouble. This church was originally for them to have something to do, and they had enough trouble inside. So, this matter is also over.
