Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 310 The unexpected big fish, the princess of Byzantium, the Roman Empire

Since you have said this, naturally I cannot just destroy you because of your will.

"You can come, we Liang agree. The city wall is extremely tall and made of the hardest wood, with stones underneath to build the city wall. You nomads have come to attack many times, but all have failed. You are It is impossible to enter our city." A guard next to Prince Theodore said.

The European businessman standing aside as a translator shook his head, turned his head and translated the sentence.

After hearing this, all the Mongolian generals present laughed.

"Hahahaha! Can a city wall made of wood stop us?"

"Hahaha, it's so funny. The city wall is made of wood. It's extremely strong. How strong can a city wall made of wood be?"

"Hahaha! So you think the city wall made of wood, plus you guys, can stop us?" Batu asked in a funny tone.

Where does the confidence come from? Or have they never seen a city wall made of stone?

That’s not right either!

I learned from some businessmen that there are still many stone castles in these Western countries. Don’t they know that?

"Master Military Advisor, do you mean you want to keep these Russians?" Batu asked.

"Hmph! Can't we stop you guys?"

First of all, all Russians are tall and strong, and as long as you feed them well, they are basically willing to listen to you.

None of them posed any threat to the city of Ryazan. With wooden city walls, it was okay to have a small fight on this land, but if they faced the Mongolian army trained in the East Asian monster room, it would be a joke.

Don't blame me, Prince Theodore. Anyway, both of you, father and son, are going to die. Those Mongolian commanders asked them to sacrifice their wives and daughters.

"Master Military Advisor, do you have any ideas?" Batu asked.

Batu smiled and ignored it at all. In the eyes of those Central Plains peoples, we Mongolians are extremely backward barbarians, but compared with you people, we Mongolians appear to be more advanced.

"Great Khan! Let me tell you, Prince Theodore's wife is the most beautiful girl in the entire Ryazan city.

"Batu, how about leaving it to me next?" Zhang Yong said.

These Russians have been divided for hundreds of years. They have no such thing as national loyalty. They work with whoever gives them money to eat.

Originally, he wanted to kill him directly. Although he was the commander, no matter what, he had to ask the deputy general and military advisor for their opinions.

Zhang Yong waved his hand, and several Mongolian soldiers stepped forward to protect the man, while other Russian nobles were surrounded by soldiers and did not dare to act rashly.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. The young man sitting in the middle of the Mongolian Khan just now seemed to want Prince Theodore's wife.

These people do have the capital to be confident. Before the Mongols came, the people of the Bulgarian Khanate, the Kipchaks, the Alans, the Smokys, and other armies of the Russian Grand Dukes.

"Kasef, I'm going to kill you." The Russian man with a big stick suddenly became furious and drew out his sword to kill the man in front of him who took the lead in surrender.

Her identity is not simple either. She is the princess we Ryazan married from the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire, through all the hard work. Kasef said.

This bastard covets his wife.

This is an army that can be used. Take these Russians to fight Western Europe. They are very good infantry.

The Russian people during this period were extremely backward in terms of cultural level and other things, and they were looked down upon by the noble knights in Western Europe.

As the strategist of this Western Expedition, I have a small duke in the Ross area, which is no problem at all. Anyway, there are about a dozen grand dukes in the big land of Ross.

Hearing this, a group of Ross nobles began to whisper. The position of Grand Duke was indeed very attractive, and Prince Theodore's face began to look ugly. These bastard nomads, what do they want?

The nobles under him were personally canonized by his father or grandfather. Would they betray his family?

When Prince Theodore heard this, he suddenly lost his composure.

But one thing must be admitted, that is, the Russians are really excellent fighters, and they have advantages over the Kipchaks, Alans, and some countries in Western Europe.

Hearing this, Batu nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

"You all listen! Now, as long as any of you is willing to surrender to Mongolia, he can save his life and become the new Grand Duke of Ryazan." Zhang Yong said.

"Coach Batu! I think we can use these Russians to let them understand how powerful we are, and let them understand how fragile the city wall they are proud of is in front of us." Zhang Yong said.

"What position do you hold now in Ryazan Principality?" Zhang Yong looked at the man in front of him and said.

They are very good warriors, but they lack a qualified ruler. If these people can be incorporated into your army, then they will be very good. "Zhang Yong said.

When Zhang Yong heard this, he smiled and looked at Batu sitting beside him. Batu nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Yong.

Subotai waved his hand, indicating that he had no objection, just do whatever you want.

Her skin is whiter than all women, her hair is as golden as the sun, and her figure is prettier than other girls.

Moreover, in its original history, Mongolia recruited a large number of Rus' servant armies, and these Rus' servant armies were even able to sneak into the city of Kiev, open the city gates of Kiev, and allow the city of Kiev to be captured by the Mongols.

It is hoped that the identity of a princess, especially a princess of the Byzantine Empire, can save other noble women of Ryazan.

"Commander Batu, every one of the more than 10,000 Rus slaves I took over is very strong.

"Kasef, you coward, how dare you betray our Grand Duke!"

"Sir, I, I am an ordinary Ryazan noble with a knighthood." Kasef said.

"Master Military Advisor, General Subotai, do you think we should let them go back or kill them directly?" Batu turned to look at Zhang Yong and asked.

"I, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, can you really make me the Grand Duke of Ryazan?" A Russian man in his thirties suddenly knelt down and said.

"Take us to the city of Ryazan. We will capture the city in one day. Then you will serve as the Grand Duke of Ryazan and rule the whole of Ryazan, but for us Mongols. And you will conquer all the Ryazan troops and attack for us. Other areas." Zhang Yong said.

"Really? Thank you, thank you sir. If you can really fulfill your promise, then I will definitely manage Riazan for you." Kasev said with excitement.

The European businessman in charge of the translation also informed the group of Russians in front of them of Zhang Yong's words.

What is the identity of his wife? She is a princess of Byzantium, and Byzantium is the orthodox Eastern Roman Empire, in terms of noble bloodline.

He, the son of the Grand Duke of Ryazan, was able to marry a princess of the Eastern Roman Empire.

It can be said to be a very easy thing, which makes many grand dukes and even nobles in Ross jealous.

"Princess of Byzantium in the Eastern Roman Empire, are you kidding me?" Zhang Yong suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

The orthodox continuation of the Roman Empire was actually the Byzantine Empire, and Byzantium believed in the Orthodox Church.

Historically, more than two hundred years ago, the first Grand Duke of Kievan Rus to rule the entire Rus' region married a princess of the Byzantine Empire.

Then the entire Rus region converted to Orthodox Christianity, but what was the identity of the Grand Duke of Ryazan?

To put it nicely, he is a grand duke with a noble status, but to put it unpleasantly, your mother is just a county magistrate. His son married a princess of the Byzantine Empire. Is there anything wrong?

But it seems right when you think about it. The Byzantine Empire now is not the Byzantine Empire two hundred years ago. The Crusades once captured the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Although the Byzantine Empire will be restored in a few decades, it is just an ordinary small kingdom now.

Wait, it seems like this identity can be used! If she was really a princess of the Byzantine Empire.

Then in the name of this princess, restore the rule of the Roman Empire at its peak.

It is justifiable, and it is more recognized by the people of Western Europe. Unlike the traditional concepts in the East, Europeans care very much about bloodline. Having a good bloodline and a good background is more important than anything else.

"Let me ask you, are you sure she is the princess of the Byzantine Empire? How did she marry your Liangzan?" Zhang Yong asked.

"I can confirm this. As for why she married to the Principality of Ryazan, it is because we in Ryazan are only weaker than the Principality of Kievan Rus and the Principality of Vladimir.

It is the third most powerful principality in the entire Rus region, and our prince Theodore is handsome and very young. Kasef said.

Please, why do you say it as if the son of the Grand Duke of Ryazan has reached a higher level by marrying a Byzantine princess? What do you mean by this?

The Byzantium of today is not the Byzantium of the past. They were all destroyed by the Crusaders, okay? Now it only takes up a little more space.

"Well! How long has this princess been married? Has she given birth to any children?" Zhang Yong asked.

It doesn't matter if you have heirs, the Mongols won't mind, but it would be better if you don't have any.

"She has no children, you are not even pregnant, and she has just arrived in Ryazan not long ago." Kasev said.

This princess from Byzantium had just been taken to Ryazan, but on the way she fell ill due to the severe cold weather. How could she give birth to a child?

Zhang Yong nodded, signaled to a group of Mongolian soldiers, suppressed all of them except this guy named Kasef, and then locked them up.

"Master Military Advisor, could it be that you have fallen in love with this Byzantine princess?" Batu asked with a smile.

"Batu, how many wives do you have now?" Zhang Yong asked.

"???I don't know, I haven't counted them, probably one or two hundred!" Although Batu was surprised why Zhang Yong asked this, he still said.

One or two hundred! Damn it, these Mongolian nobles really have an unusual number of wives!

As the top dignitary in Mongolia now, the King of Guanzhong, is my wife a bit lacking?

"Do you mind marrying this Byzantine princess?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Why marry her? What good will it do to us?" Batu asked.

“The Roman Empire once ruled the entire Europe, and its territory even extended to Egypt. This land in the West places great value on blood and inheritance.

Marrying their princess would save a lot of trouble, and her son would have dual bloodlines from the Mongolian and Byzantine Empires, making him more suitable to rule this land. "Zhang Yong said.

Batu! Batu! I'm helping you a lot. If you want to rule legitimately, you can make good use of the status of this Byzantine Empire princess.

You can even use her to contact her relatives behind her, and then ask these royal families and nobles of the Byzantine Empire if they are willing to surrender to Mongolia.

Mongolia helped them restore the rule of the Roman Empire.

"Master Military Advisor, I still don't understand. We conquered these countries with the saber in our hands and our strong strength. What's the use of a woman?" Batu said.

The logic of this military strategist really puzzled him! They also knew about the Byzantine Empire. It was indeed very powerful before, but now it is completely in decline. Even their capital was captured by the Crusader countries.

What's the use of a princess from such a weak country?

"We just need her name." Zhang Yong said.

"I don't like these women, Master Military Advisor, if you like them, you can marry her!

If she can give you a son, I will choose a piece of land and let her son be the king and manage these areas. " Batu said.

In fact, if Zhang Yong's current status is not too high and his territory in the East is too large, he really wants to let Mr. Zhang stay here and stay in the West to help him.

But if you yourself are not willing to stay here, then if you leave a son here, you can also help me rule some countries here. In this way, if anything happens here in the future, your father, who is far away in the east, cannot ignore this little boy. Son?

Anyway, in these Western countries, Zhang Yong also intends to continue the strategy of his grandfather Genghis Khan, which is to divide more princes and nobles into chaos, and will not form a strong unified country.

And more importantly, he doesn't like these Western women. They are all tall and more masculine than men.

His skin was as white as a ghost, and he even had hair, and he didn't really like the golden hair.

In Batu's view, these Western women are not as good as those Persian dancers from the Western countries!

Although they look like Western people, their bodies are quite petite, and their skin is smoother and less hairy.

If you have to choose someone to marry them, then Master Military Advisor, sacrifice yourself!

The other sons of princes basically had the same idea as Batu.

Zhang Yong rolled his eyes when he heard this.

I wipe it! I was looking for a wife for you, why did you end up with me instead?

Zhang Yong was about to say something more, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Okay! This Byzantine princess is mine." Zhang Yong said.

Wait until you completely unify the East. He has no intention of letting go of these Western countries. And it is definitely not possible to adopt centralized rule like in the East.

After all, the territory is too large and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is impossible to rule it, even if you have the means to reach the sky.

Therefore, it is very important to support a qualified agent. Since you want to support the agent, why not support your own son? When the children grow up, Dongfang should also take care of it.

At that time, the western territories will be distributed to his sons, and he will even think of the reasons for attacking these western countries, so as to restore the glory of the Roman Empire!

The Holy Roman Empire only bears the title of Rome, and the orthodox continuation of Rome is Byzantium.

"Hahaha! Master Military Advisor, you have very strong tastes, and you actually like the girls here?" Batu and a large group of Mongolian generals said with laughter.

Depend on! I did that for political reasons, okay?

The princess of an ordinary small country is indeed worthless. There are twenty or thirty countries scattered on this land, and there are a lot of princesses!

But the princess of the Byzantine Empire is the most noble one in terms of blood. What I like is her orthodoxy of the Roman Empire.

Now that the strategic goal was decided, the Mongolian army didn't waste any more nonsense. The whole army packed up and marched towards the Principality of Ryazan in a mighty manner.

A few days later, the Mongolian army arrived at the city of Ryazan Principality.

how to say! This is a city wall with a foundation of some stones at the bottom and a wooden structure on the upper level. If it is the size of a city.

To be honest, in Zhang Yong's opinion, it is the size of a small county town in the Central Plains region. Even if the city wall is made of wood, the height of the entire city is only a little more than five meters.

In order to defend themselves, these Russians poured some ice water on the wooden city wall, and now it has formed a thick layer of ice.

Obviously, these Ross people have done some homework and know that wooden city walls are very afraid of fire. However, in the Ross area, where there is severe cold weather and frequent snowfall, it is difficult to catch fire.

After arriving in Ryazan City, the Mongolian army had no intention of talking nonsense.

He directly took out Zhang Yong's secret weapon explosive pack, then fired it with a catapult, and threw it at the wooden city gate of the Ryazan Principality.

With a loud bang!

In the stunned eyes of Grand Duke Ryazan, the city gate he was proud of was blown to pieces in an instant, and even several other city walls were blown open by the Mongols.

Then a large number of Mongolian soldiers rushed directly into the city.

"How is this possible? God! Are they the devils of hell?"
