Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 319: Conquering the Ross Kingdoms, the dedicated princess

Hearing this, Mikhail suddenly became very nervous. Please, brother, now is the time to speak harshly. Why don't you look at the situation now?

The Mongols have already reached our city. What can you do to stop these Mongols? With his own life, plus the lives of more than a thousand defenders?

Oh, and there are some militiamen you temporarily recruited, farmers who can go to work in the fields with hoes and sickles. What if you expect these people to defend the Mongolian army?

Then I can only say that your head has been occupied by Satan. There is no other explanation other than that.

“General, are you the person in charge of this city?

Can I take your words as a declaration of war on Mongolia? "The Mongolian envoy was also very arrogant. He raised his head and said arrogantly.

Although he came here to persuade him to surrender this time, the Mongolian envoy's consistent style made him never flinch. This time, it was time to be loyal to his master.

Demytro, after hearing this, immediately waved his sword and wanted to kill the Mongolian envoy in front of him.

"Enough! I am the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus! I am the supreme ruler of this city, and you are just the guard here." Mikhail stood up from his throne and roared loudly.

If he doesn't stop it, the Mongolian envoy will be killed by Demytro. Once the envoy is killed, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between them and Mongolia.

"But I am the general who defended the city appointed by the previous Grand Duke." Demetro also said with a cold face.

It's a pity that he is just a soldier. He has climbed from an ordinary soldier to his current position step by step, although he can also be regarded as a noble.

Good fellow, this is really Your Majesty. I am about to fight to the death. Why did Your Majesty surrender first?

However, this is indeed a good thing for himself, as he can take down the city of Kiev without any bloodshed.

Demetro is now under his control, and his army will be taken over by himself. If any of the nobles in the city dare to disobey his orders,

Then he killed the noble, copied all his property, and gave one-third to the Mongols.

The remaining two-thirds belong to him. Speaking of which, he has made a lot of money!

In the afternoon of that day, the Mongolian envoy returned to Zhang Yong's military camp.

"Of course, three days is enough." Mikhail smiled and said.

Then let all the nobles in the city prepare one-third of their property. "The Mongolian envoy nodded and said.

A new grand duke has appeared in Liangzan, and the same is true for several other principalities. Since you can do it, there is no reason why I can't.

"Thank you, King of Guanzhong. I have resigned." The Mongolian envoy happily nodded to Zhang Yong, then stood up and retreated.

"Then I'm relieved. Grand Duke, you should follow me out of the city now to meet our King of Guanzhong.

At the beginning, the city's garrison was unwilling to surrender, but the new Grand Duke was willing to surrender to you. He did not want to provoke a war. "The Mongolian envoy told Zhang Yong everything that happened in the city.

"Yes, the great King of Guanzhong, I am willing to surrender to him and become his right-hand man." Mikhail said.

"You actually want to arrest the protector of this city? Do you want to hand over our city?" Amitro looked at the archduke in front of him, with an expression of extreme disappointment on his face.

It is too important for me. It will become a bridgehead for attacking Central and Western Europe, as well as a logistics supply base.

"Respected King Zhang Yong of Guanzhong, King of Wanhu Zong of Mongolia." The Mongolian envoy said.

"Despicable coward, blood is not flowing in your body, coward! Coward!" Amidst the curses, the general who wanted to defend the city, the only real man in Kiev, Dmytro was beaten by the guards Drag it down.

I hope you can provide some food and meat so that our army can reward the soldiers. "The Mongolian envoy said.

"King Guanzhong, I have persuaded this city to surrender in accordance with your order.

“I can start preparing right away, but it might take a little while.

"Dear envoy, I am the new Grand Duke of Kievan Rus. Some unpleasant things have just happened, but I am willing to surrender to the great Mongol general..." At this point, Mikhail felt a little embarrassed. Because he didn't know who the leader of the Mongolian army outside the city was.

But in the real circle of great aristocrats, he was excluded. Therefore, although he is the defender of Kiev City, the position of Duke is not yet his turn.

Originally, he planned to lead his army to plunder some property in the city before the Mongols completely besieged the city, and then directly abandon the city and escape.

"This is what it should be. The Mongolian army has come all the way, so I should naturally entertain them. We have a lot of food and meat in the city." Mikhail said.

"You did a good job this time, go and get the reward!" Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"Get down here, Dmytro. I have to think about the people of the whole city. There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians here. We Russians have shed enough blood this winter. We should not shed more blood." Mikhail said.

In fact, Zhang Yong didn't even mention that he added the meat and wine as a reward to the three armies.

"Are you going to abandon our faith and surrender to these nomads?" Demytro roared.

Please ask the envoy to stay in the city for two more days, and I will entertain you well. Come, please arrange for me to have this Mongolian envoy. "Mikhail said.

"Well! Yes, this man named Mikhail is quite good at life. In that case, I will let him be the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus." Zhang Yong said.

"Have you told the new Grand Duke of Kievan Rus about our conditions?" Zhang Yong nodded and asked.

I was able to seize the position of Grand Duke of Kievan Rus not just by words, but also by bribes. I have real military power, and I still have some private armies under my command.

After seeing that the troublesome Demytro was taken away, Mikhail immediately changed his face and looked at the Mongolian envoy with a smile on his face.

You have so much passion, but have you ever thought about it, you have died a hundred times, but what will the people in the city do? "Mikhail said.

This man is called Mikhail. He is quite interesting. In that case, I will let you be the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus.

"Come here! Invite General Dmytro down." Mikhail said.

“That’s right, surrender would be good for all of us.

A group of guards immediately appeared and surrounded Demytro. Although the defenders outside the city obey your orders, all the guards in this Grand Duke's mansion are my people.

"I have to think about the people of the city, I have to think about all the nobles, and you are just a reckless man who only knows how to wield a sword.

Our army has come a long way and is tired from the journey.

But it seems that there is no need to do this now. With the help of the Mongols, he can completely secure his position as the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus.

"King Guanzhong, please don't worry. I have told him clearly, and he has agreed to our conditions, and will also provide some food, wine, and meat so that our soldiers can have a full meal and have a good meal." Reward the three armies." The Mongolian envoy said.

"No need, I have to go out of the city to report to the King of Guanzhong. After three days, I hope you can formally surrender." The Mongolian envoy said.

He has already seen that this coward, this extremely cowardly guy, actually plans to surrender to the Mongols. The last Grand Duke died heroically in battle, but you plan to surrender, you trash.

"Brother Zhang, I thought there was a battle going on, but I didn't expect these Russians to surrender." Guyu said from the side.

"This is human nature. If they don't surrender, they will be dead. There is no point in acting recklessly." Zhang Yong said.

Zhang Yong, named Demytro, seems to have a little impression of it, mainly because of some records of Ross' unofficial history. There are many historical unofficial records in his e-book.

When copying these stories, Zhang Yong once read some records about Demytro.

There are some very interesting passages in it. It is said that the Kiev defender Dmytro actually disguised himself as a woman, and then even fascinated Batu. Damn it, Zhang Yong was stupid at the time.

Have you ever made such an outrageous mistake? If you Slavic men dress up as women, are they not more masculine than men?

In the eyes of the Central Plains people, your women look like men, okay? What will happen to Batu's aesthetics before he falls in love with a man wearing women's clothing? There is also a piece of Russian unofficial history. It is said that the reason why Batu did not want to massacre the city of Kiev was because he fell in love with a Russian noble lady in the city.

The family members of this Russian noble lady were all killed by the Hungarians, and then Batu directly attacked Hungary in order to please his sweetheart.

In addition, there is also a record about Subotai. It is said that when Subotai attacked the Ross area ten years ago, he once fell in love with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old noble lady.

As a result, this aristocratic lady became Subotai's dream lover, but this aristocratic lady married the Grand Duke Ryazan and became a duchess. This outrageous and wild history is quite surprising.

I guess I am the only one who has traveled through modern times and likes these big sheep and horses with blond hair, white skin, tall figures and long legs.

The other Mongolians didn't seem to be too interested in them. On the contrary, the Kipchak girls, who were also nomadic, were very popular with these Mongolians.

Batu, Guyuk, Baidar, and Mengge all found many local Kipchak women as concubines.

On the contrary, Miss Rose was not very interested in these. (In ancient times, they were called Rakshasa ghosts for a reason. Westerners looked extremely ugly in ancient times.)

Soon, three days passed, and the gate to Kiev opened. Grand Duke Mikhail of Kiev came to Zhang Yong with dozens of carts of gold and silver jewelry and made a gesture of invitation.

In these three days, Mikhail carried out a large-scale purge in the city of Kiev. A large number of nobles who did not obey his orders were directly killed, and then all their property and territory were confiscated.

Now that he is making a lot of money, he will naturally prepare a big gift for Zhang Yong. At the same time, there will be dozens of carts of grain and grass and a large number of pigs, sheep and other livestock.

These large white pigs raised by the Russians are very sturdy and much larger than the black pigs in the Central Plains. Zhang Yong is now considering whether to introduce some breeding pigs back.

European pig breeds are still very good. If you cross them with local pig breeds, you might be able to develop new breeds.

"Dear King Guanzhong, this is newly baked bread, please enjoy it." Mikhail waved.

A pretty Rose girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old came to Zhang Yong with a basin of freshly baked bread.

After seeing Zhang Yong, this little beauty. His body was shaking a little and he looked very scared, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and handed over the freshly baked bread in his hand.

This is the Ross area, where the most distinguished etiquette for entertaining guests is to offer them freshly baked bread.

In the Ross area, only some lords and nobles had ovens in their homes. All civilians who wanted to bake bread had to go to the lord's home.

After these breads are baked, they will be stored at home and then used slowly. They can be used for impact when hungry, and they can also be used as weapons at critical times.

Zhang Yong smiled, came to the little beauty, reached out and took out a piece of toast, and then stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted extremely soft and tasted pretty good.

Zhang Yong is not too worried about the enemy poisoning him, because as long as this guy named Mikhail is not an idiot, he will not do this.

Seeing Zhang Yong accept the baked bread, Hail felt relieved.

"I have seen these properties, and I am very satisfied. From today on, you will continue to rule the city of Kiev." Zhang Yong patted the Grand Duke on the shoulder and said.

"Serving you, my great king." Mikhail made a noble gesture to Zhang Yong and said.

After accepting the surrender ceremony, Zhang Yong led his army to receive the spoils of war, and by the way, took over the entire city of Kiev.

At the same time, in order to commend the Duke, Zhang Yong brought over all the previously captured Rus slaves with a wave of his hand, and then selected the local slaves of Kievan Rus, a total of 30,000 people, and handed them all over to the new Grand Duke. .

Winter is about to pass, and after spring begins, Zhang Yong needs to plant a large amount of wheat and sugar beets, then squeeze them into sugar and flour, and then mix them with dairy products from the grassland and ghee to make compressed biscuit powder.

After all, we are in enemy-occupied territory, so we can save on things like eggs.

Now in the entire Rus' region, Northern Rus has a grand duke named Kasev whom he supports, while Kievan Rus has a grand duke named Mikhail. With these two grand dukes around, his influence in the Rus' region will be reduced. Small.

In the next half month, Zhang Yong lived in Kiev and began to wait for battle reports from various places.

The progress of the other 4 armies was quite smooth. Basically, wherever they hit, cities began to surrender.

If they refused to surrender, the Mongolian army would naturally launch a fierce attack, and after breaking the city, there would be a brutal massacre.

This kind of massacre formed a very effective deterrent, and people in the entire Ross area were panicked.

At this time, Grand Duke Mikhail, who surrendered to Zhang Yong, stood up.

He said that he was the new Grand Duke of Kievan Rus, and as long as he surrendered to the Mongolian army, nothing would happen to the people.

A large number of cities began to surrender, and the entire Rus region was quickly pacified.

More than half a month later, the other four armies met under the city of Kievan Rus, and Zhang Yong's 100,000 troops began to be stationed near Kiev for rest and recuperation.

As for the Byzantine princess, Zhang Yong also took her over and let her live in the city of Kiev.

Then that night, Princess Eupracia dressed up and took the initiative to move into Zhang Yong's room, to which Zhang Yong himself did not refuse.

Just kidding, it has been a year since the Western Expedition. You are also a man, okay? I have needs too!

"My lord, you truly amaze me.

I really didn't expect that in just over four months, the entire Ross area would fall into your hands. "The Byzantine princess sat up from the bed.

She combed her scattered blond hair, put a gauze dress on her body, covered her snow-white body and said.

She really didn't expect that the promise of the man in front of her would be fulfilled so quickly.

In less than half a year, the entire Rus region was ruled by them.

Now that the other party has fulfilled her promise, she will directly become his bride without any hesitation.

Although she was a little disappointed without the priest's blessing, it didn't matter, as long as he could really help her and restore the empire's former prosperity.

"Hahaha! Of course I will keep my word. Next, I will use my skin as a bridgehead to attack Central Europe." Zhang Yong said while lying on the bed.

"My King, please don't be careless. The Russian countries are quite backward. In front of those Central and Western European nobles, they are complete barbarians.

The Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Poland, the Principality of Austria, the Kingdom of France, and even the most powerful Holy Roman Empire are far stronger than the Russian countries. "Princess Pracia came to Zhang Yong and said while stroking the man's chest.

"I know this, but don't worry. No one in Europe is our opponent." Zhang Yong said.

"Your face is so young and looks so smooth. Are you really in your thirties?" Princess Yu Pracia sat on Zhang Yong's lap, stroked his face, and said.

This oriental man has no wrinkles on his face, the skin on his face is extremely smooth, and his eyes are bright. He does not look like a middle-aged man in his 30s at all, but like a young man in his 20s.

"Hahaha! How should I put it, maybe we Easterners age slower." Zhang Yong said with a somewhat proud smile.

There is no way, this is the racial advantage of Orientals!
