Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 328 Hungarian Envoy, Mongolian Army Gathers

After all, some of the habits of nomads are really unacceptable to people from farming ethnic groups like them.

It is common for people to trample crops at will and let their cattle, sheep and other livestock eat the crops in the fields, and there are even some that are a little more extreme.

Some nomads would even use sabers to kill all the residents of a village and then rob them of their food and livestock.

This was the thing that King Béla IV of Hungary was most worried about, because if such a thing happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

If it is smaller, he can suppress it, but if it gets bigger, it will arouse the resistance of the people across the country, and then it will be very difficult for him to be the king.

"I understand this, Your Majesty the King. I will restrain my people. You must ensure that they have full stomachs." Ke Tai'an Khan said.

As long as you take care of food and shelter, they will definitely grab it if you bring food or not, and I can't help it.

After all, people are starving to death, so why would they listen to me, a leader? I, as a leader, can't say, you just sit here and you are not allowed to leave even if you starve to death, right?

"The current situation is more difficult. Believe me, as long as you restrain your subordinates, all this will pass. You just need to give me some time." Bella IV said.

First of all, we have to find a way to stabilize the Mongolian army. As long as the conditions are not absolutely unacceptable to him, then the two sides can negotiate.

If he could stabilize the Mongolian army, he would take these Kipchak cavalry and immediately attack the aristocratic forces in the country and take back all the king's rights.

It was already late autumn. More than half a month ago, Batu sent an envoy to Zhang Yong to inform him that the army on the grassland had finished repairing and had begun to march here.

But if the negotiation with Mongolia fails directly, then he will keep these nobles and let their troops come to fight.

"This is more troublesome to explain, but I can tell you one thing. I have already been in contact with Pope Gregory IX of the Papal States. This should have been a very pleasant negotiation and a collective crusade against heretics. action.

After appeasing the kind-hearted Kipchak who came over, the King of Hungary sent an envoy to the city of Kiev where Zhang Yong was located.

But, this is just a folk legend. Why, how come this Mongolian king actually took his seat?

This time, Meng Ge's army carried enough grain, dried meat, dairy products, etc. to last for several months.

So he immediately started talking to the envoy in Hungarian, and gave an exaggerated description of what he saw and heard.

Zhang Yong estimated that it would not be long before the troops of Batu, Subotai and others would arrive. At that time, the armies would meet under the city of Kiev, then hold a combat meeting, and then divide the troops into two groups.

"As for the title, maybe you can make some changes. You should call me King John of the Elder Kingdom." Zhang Yong said.

This envoy from afar was also received by Zhang Yong. The time of this envoy's arrival was lucky. If he had arrived a few days later, Batu's Western Expeditionary Army might be arriving soon.

"This, this really surprises me! I will go back and report this to His Majesty the King." After the messenger pondered for a moment, he said.

This bastard Pope Gregory IX has a very bad conscience. Zhang Yong thought that he would lose the identity of an orthodox Elder John, even if he lost two artifacts!

The results of it? This pope actually kept silent about his own affairs and did not announce anything about the Presbyterian Kingdom or King John at all.

Although this statement is very outrageous and even a bit absurd, as a messenger, he must maintain good qualities and bring this news back to his king.

So now if he wants to obtain the title of King John of the Elder Kingdom, he has to find a way on his own.

"Dear Mongolian King, I am your brother-in-law, King Bela IV of the Kingdom of Hungary, and I have sent an envoy to say hello to you." The envoy came to Zhang Yong, performed a ritual, and said.

"??? You mean, you are the legendary King John of the Elder Kingdom?" The messenger widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

Because when the country is in crisis, these nobles can no longer disobey themselves. After all, if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the country is gone, what is the use of having territory?

"Your Majesty the King, we have also brought some livestock and need a medium-sized pasture so that these animals can be fed." Ketai'an Khan said.

The legend of the Elder Kingdom and King John has been very popular in recent years. Many teachers have declared to them that soon, King John will lead his army from the east, and then join them to fight against the pagans. .

When the European businessman who was responsible for translating for Zhang Yong heard this, he immediately became unwilling. What do you mean? Do you even dare to doubt it?

Even the last time the envoys and church knights were sent to ask for the artifact, they were all done in secret.

"Well! Leave this matter to me, then go and appease your subordinates!" King Bela IV of Hungary said.

But the other party was a despicable villain. He actually stole the artifact I brought back from the Lord, and tried to control me and even the Mongolian army behind me. "Zhang Yong said.

The envoy suddenly remembered that not long ago, the Pope issued an order requiring all Catholic countries to unite to jointly attack Mongolia. Could it be related to this matter?

"I have said too much, but I can indeed prove my identity. It's just that the stupid Gregory IX was afraid that I would affect his position as pope, so he did not announce my identity to all the Catholic countries, and even tried to Let them attack me." Zhang Yong said.

"Dear Sir Zhang Yong! This is a letter written by my king to you. There is also another letter written by our queen Maria and given to her sister Princess Eupracia, your queen." The messenger said from his arms. He took out two letters and handed them to the guards on the side.

Now this Byzantine princess is nominally Zhang Yong’s queen. After all, she is in the West! Just give her an authentic name.

Zhang Yong nodded and reached out to take the letter from the messenger. Of course, he couldn't understand it, but there was someone nearby who could translate it.

“Dear King John, King Béla IV of Hungary first greets you and gives you a wedding blessing.

May your country be strong and prosperous, and may you be able to play your part in bringing peace between the two countries. "(Please note here that the translator will call Zhang Yong King John, but the envoy will not, because the Pope has not recognized the identity of the protagonist.)

"Well! I understand the purpose of your coming. Hungary wants to form an alliance with Mongolia, or maintain a peaceful relationship with Mongolia, right?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Yes, respected King of Mongolia, our King feels that there is no conflict between the two countries, and we still have a kinship relationship. We should maintain peace and then communicate with each other," the envoy said.

"I know, but I am only one of the top commanders of our Mongolian army this time. There are two other beings with equal status to me. We are divided into the Great Khan of Mongolia, which you can understand as the emperor's order.

Come to carry out the Western Expedition, so Hungary has two options. The first option is to attack our Mongolian city, and the second option is to go to war with our Mongolia. "Zhang Yong said.

"So King of Mongolia, you mean you don't intend to make peace with us, right?" the messenger frowned and asked.

"Nominally, you must obey Mongolia's orders and pay 1/10 of the country's tax revenue to Mongolia every year." Zhang Yong said.

"Please forgive me for being rude! We will not agree to this condition. Do you need to write a reply to our king? If not, please allow me to leave here." The messenger said with a very ugly face.

"The conditions I proposed are quite generous. I said this because his wife is my wife's sister. I believe that after his army is defeated, he will understand how kind I am." Zhang Yong said. .

In his first move, the other party accepted Byzantium's goodwill and agreed to cooperate.

But the next Papal State directly violated its own goodwill and even directly withheld things it had brought from modern times.

Electric wands and driving recorders are not ordinary gadgets. They are completely impossible to copy in this era.

Zhang Yong naturally cannot let him go, and the King of Hungary nominally supports the Pope. In this case, he will definitely cripple you first.

Moreover, the Hungarian king would not surrender to Mongolia because of his relationship with him, so he had no choice but to fight.

This time, the two parties broke up somewhat unhappily, and even Zhang Yong did not show the projector artifact to the other party.

That night, in Zhang Yong's bedroom.

"My king, can you really, really not make peace? You, must you go to war with my sister's husband?" Eupracia said.

"This is something that can't be helped. Don't worry, I will spare the lives of your sister and your brother-in-law, and their country will be ruled by your brother-in-law in the future, but I have to teach him a lesson first." Zhang Yong said. Teach Bela 40 a lesson, just leave this matter to Badu and Subotai. Now the army led by the two of them is three times that of the original history.

Dealing with Bela IV is just like playing. When the time comes, I will appear as the savior, and then persuade this guy to surrender, so that Hungary will completely side with Mongolia.

If the other person disagrees with something, say no. So does he have a son or something? Just support a puppet first, but Zhang Yong believes that Bellas will not choose this, because this guy is a very shrewd person.

"As long as you promise to let go of my sister and my brother-in-law, after all, I don't want anyone in my family to die." Eupracia, who was lying in Zhang Yong's arms, said.

At this time, the Byzantine princess's lower abdomen had begun to bulge slightly. After Zhang Yong's hard work for several months, the two finally harvested.

"You just stay in Kiev to raise the baby and give birth to the baby. I estimate that I will come back when the baby is born or about to be born." Zhang Yong said.

It has been more than a year since the Western Expedition, and the strategy for the second year is about to begin. This time the goal is to destroy the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Papal States that disgust me.

Shame on you, you stupid pope, you dare to rob me of my things. If I don’t beat you up this time, I will take your surname.

After comforting the little princess in his arms, Zhang Yong hugged her and fell asleep peacefully.

Ten days later, Batu, Subotai and others also came to Zhang Yong's land with nearly 150,000 Mongolian troops.

In the Northern Rus' region, especially the Principality of Vladimir, Batu left part of the army to guard it, and also left part of the army to sit on the Kipchak grassland.

Therefore, only 150,000 people were brought over, and even some of them were Kipchaks.

After Batu's army arrived at the gates of Kiev, they set up camp in the camp prepared by Zhang Yong in advance, and Zhang Yong also came to Batu's big tent outside the city.

"Hahaha! It's been a long time since I last saw you, Master Military Advisor." Batu stepped forward and gave him a hug, and Zhang Yong said very cordially.

"It's only been seven months. We separated last winter, and it's not winter yet!" Zhang Yong said.

"Yes! Such a long time has passed in the blink of an eye. Now we have completely controlled the Ross area and are about to start the next conquest goal." Subotai stood aside and said.

"Master Military Advisor, Batu heard that there is a pope here, and he actually robbed your things, right?" Batu asked.

"Yes! There is a legend of the Elder Kingdom circulating here. This matter is not just based on rumors. Strictly speaking, the Nestorian religion spread on the grassland is the Elder Kingdom, which belongs to the Mistonian sect of Christianity.

These beliefs are widely spread on the grassland, so I plan to use this as a chess player, and cooperate with some of the artifacts I brought from the cave of the gods to surrender the Papal Kingdom.

Let them side with Mongolia and surrender to Mongolia. But unfortunately, this pope rejected my kindness and even seized the two artifacts I sent over. "Zhang Yong said.

"How unreasonable? He even robbed the military advisor's artifact. The military advisor's artifact is our Mongolian artifact.

How can you let others snatch it? We immediately mobilized our army to destroy this Papal State. " Batu said.

"I will settle the score with the pope personally about this matter," Zhang Yong said.

"Master Military Advisor! Prince Batu, he is the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition.

Isn't it too inappropriate for you to contact the enemy without authorization and even claim to be King John of the Elder Kingdom? "At this moment, Meng Ge, who was standing behind Batu, suddenly said.

"Yes! Although this Elder Country is a bit like Mongolia, we have never thought of ourselves.

And even if this King John wants to call himself King John, Lord Batu should call himself King John, not you, Lord Military Advisor. "One of the host kings said.

"Oh! King John in their language means someone who has been in contact with God, and is an elder who is also the king appointed by God himself.

And I have entered the cave of a god, so I have been in contact with gods. I am also the Mongolian king canonized by Genghis Khan. What's wrong with that? "Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"Who are you? It's your turn to speak here? How dare you question the military advisor? Do you take me, Guiyou, seriously?" Guiyou, who was sitting next to Zhang Yong, suddenly sat up. He pointed at Meng Ge and said.

After all, Brother Zhang is also the respected king of Mongolia, and he is the only person who has come into contact with the gods, even the golden-armored god general of his family.

There is no problem in saying that he is King John. After all, Brother Zhang had explained this matter to him in advance.

"Okay! What do you say? The military advisor is one of the commanders of this western expedition.

The Great Khan gave me special instructions before leaving. If you have any questions, you must listen to General Sutai and Master Military Advisor. "Batu spoke up to stop the quarrel between the two parties.

"Hmph! Batu." Guyu snorted coldly.

"There is nothing wrong with calling himself King John of the Elder Kingdom. Zhang Yong was originally the king named by Genghis Khan.

And we have indeed come into contact with gods and men, but what we have to do now is how to conquer these Western countries, not discuss anything else. "Subotai also stood up and smoothed things over.

It seems that military advisor Zhang Yong is quite right in saying that Batu and Guyu cannot be allowed to get together. If Guyu is allowed to return to the grassland and be with Batu, what kind of huge conflict might happen between the two people?

"Brother Meng! Don't you even know who your eldest brother is? Come sit here." Guyu yelled at Brother Meng who was sitting next to Batu and said.

Hearing this, Brother Meng gritted his teeth and planned to get up and sit next to Guyu.

After all, he is nominally the adopted son of Wo Kuotai, and Guyu is his eldest brother. Since the elder brother has spoken, he, the younger brother, must go.

But as soon as he stood up, he was pushed down by Badu.

"Brother Meng performed well in this Western Expedition and gave me many suggestions. Let him stay with me. I have personally written a letter about this and handed it to Ogedai Khan."

After hearing this, Guyu directly held his hand on the handle of the knife.

However, he was stopped by Zhang Yong who was standing beside him. At the same time, he shook his head at Guyu and signaled him to be silent.

Boy, this is not the time to fall out!

After all, Batu is the nominal commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. If you get angry with him at this time, you will be the unlucky one. When the time comes, he will send a letter to Ogedai, and Ogedai will not call you back. What a curse!

When you are recalled, it will be difficult for me to deploy my strategy here.

"Okay, let's discuss the next strategy for dispatching troops!" Zhang Yong said.

"Then just follow what the military advisor said. You, Batu, General Subotai, and Meng Ge will lead the remaining troops to attack the Kingdom of Poland, and then follow the trend to attack the Teutonic Knights and the Holy Roman Empire.

As for Hungary, as well as the Papal States and the Mediterranean area, I will leave it to me and my military advisor, Guyot. "Guiyou said.
