Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 387 Henry VII, attacking the German region

The eldest prince of the Holy Roman Empire, King of Sicily, King of Germany, and Grand Duke of Swabia, had quite a few titles.

You can take advantage of it. At this moment of chaos in the entire German region, having a nominal king of the German region will bring you considerable benefits.

First, Zhang Yong can attack in his name. In the German region, after occupying this land, the great prince can be surrendered to Mongolia.

In Germany and Austria, support an emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and then let him and his father confront each other, and let him fight with his father.

As long as this guy faces an enemy that he cannot solve by himself, then he needs to turn to the Mongol Empire, and if he needs to turn to the Mongol Empire, then he must be loyal to the Mongol Empire.

In the future, even if he leads the Western Expedition to leave, he will need the support of the Mongol Empire to establish a very good buffer zone between Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire.

After asking for the detailed location, Zhang Yong immediately called his own guards and asked a Qianhu to lead the team in person. Five hundred Mongolian cavalry came out in full force, and then took the Croatian Grand Duke Kalman to go there in person.

"King John, I can't go in person. I can send one of my confidants. If I go in person, the few attendants sent by the Holy Roman Emperor will be suspicious. They are now arranged by me in the military camp." Kalman He spoke.

His detention place was about two days away from the city of Vienna. Even if the Mongolian cavalry was very fast, it would take at least three days to go back and forth.

If he suddenly leaves in the past three days, the envoys sent by the Holy Roman Emperor will become suspicious.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so let's do it. You send one of your men as a guide to lead the Mongolian cavalry over there. Be sure to bring them back." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

What Kalman said makes sense. If he left suddenly for several days, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire would become suspicious.

"Thank you, King John, for your understanding. During this period of time, I have to stabilize these messengers, and then complete the mission you gave me." Kalman said.

The Mongol king would use himself to deliver false information to the Holy Roman Emperor. If the other party takes the bait, he is dead.

At midnight that day, a group of Mongolian cavalry secretly left the army camp and headed towards a small village in Austria.

The Principality of Austria, a remote mountainous area, is nearby a baron's territory, and there is a fortress on the mountain, where an important prisoner handed over by the Holy Roman Emperor is imprisoned.

"How is it? Are the horses ready?" a knight in armor asked.

"Your Excellency, the arrangements have been made. All the carriages are ready. We can leave here at any time." The servant said.

"Very good, you guys stay here while I go pick up His Highness." So he nodded, entered the castle, passed through the layers of guards, and arrived at the uppermost room.

This is a small, dark room with only a tiny window, and even a person's head cannot go out. Only a little sunlight can enter the room every day.

Even in broad daylight, this small, dark room needs to be lit with candles. Sitting on the bed is a man in his thirties with a slovenly beard. He looks listless, sitting on the bed with eyes blank.

"Your Highness, I need you to leave with me immediately. Something big has happened." The knight knelt on one knee in front of the man and said.

"Oh! Did my father give you another special task? Are you going to change my detention location again? How long have I been living here?" the man asked nonchalantly.

"You have been living here for four years. Your Highness, something happened outside. Now the whole of Austria is not safe. You need to evacuate immediately with me." The knight said.

This eldest prince was originally a talented monarch, but unfortunately, his father was more powerful, and his father was still in his prime, and this prince also committed the thing that all monarchs dislike the most.

"Austria is in danger. Could it be that the lords in the German region rebelled? Or did the lords in the Austrian region rebel? Or the Kingdom of Hungary attacked Austria under the order of the Pope." The man asked.

Since being imprisoned here, he has been cut off from all news from the outside world. Therefore, the eldest prince does not know about the Mongol invasion, nor does he know that Hungary and even all European countries in the east have been invaded by Mongolia. Man surrendered.

"I am not Hungarian. Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth.

Because this is the emperor's order, you cannot learn information from the outside world.

Now you just need to know that Austria is very dangerous. You should pack your things immediately, get on the carriage, and I will escort you away. "The knight said.

In Texas. After the news of the fall of Vienna, Austria, he immediately wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, just yesterday evening.

He received a reply from the emperor, who asked him to take the eldest prince to evacuate to the rear first, to Italy or France.

"Do I have the right to choose? I can only go wherever he wants me to go. But I am quite curious about what is going on outside. I found that the servants who have been serving me recently have nervous expressions, and even some Terrified." Henry VII sneered and asked.

Although he was locked up in this small place, the servants who usually served him would not say a word to him. But he still saw a trace of anxiety or fear on the face of the servant who came to deliver the meal. Something big must have happened outside.

"You have mistaken your Highness, don't say any more. Your Highness, quickly change into these clothes and leave with me. We must leave quickly." The knight said impatiently.

Please, now that Vienna has fallen, the Mongols will soon sweep across the entire Austrian region. Their small castle built in the mountains will definitely be discovered by the Mongols.

By then it would be too late to leave. Fortunately, the identity of the eldest prince was relatively secret, and not many people knew his correct place of detention.

Henry VII smiled, put on the civilian clothes, and then followed the knight down.

At this time, outside the valley, a group of Mongolian cavalry was arriving quickly.

“That’s Lord Valley in front of me, the eldest son of the Holy Roman Emperor, who is imprisoned here.

Our Grand Duke also asked me to follow the messengers, and I accidentally discovered this location and learned about the people detained inside. "The Croatian knight who was responsible for serving as a guide for the Mongolian army said.

The Grand Duke of Croatia had never believed in the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, so he was naturally on guard against him.

So every time the envoy returned, he would send some trusted knights to follow him, and accidentally discovered this secret castle near Austria, and learned that the correct place of imprisonment for the eldest prince was not in Italy as advertised by the outside world, but in Italy. It's in Austria.

"Very good, the whole army is moving forward at full speed." Mongolian Qianhu ordered.

"No! Captain Akers, outside, a group of Mongolian cavalry suddenly came outside." As soon as everyone arrived at the bottom of the castle, a scout ran over in a panic, knelt down in front of Akers and said.

"What! The Mongols are coming so quickly?"

"Mongols? Are they some nomads? The nomads actually attacked Austria?" Knight Henry, who was just about to board the carriage, said with a surprised look on his face.

He had indeed heard of nomads, and the Cuman Kipchaks were also a nation that mainly engaged in raiding.

It's just that the targets of these nomads have been attacking the Bulgarian Empire and the Rus' principalities. They can't even touch the territory of Hungary and Poland. How could they attack Austria?
"How many people are here?" Ax said with an ugly face. Damn it, the Mongols arrived at this juncture. If they had arrived even half a day later, they would have left by themselves.

"Akers Knights, there are probably about six or seven hundred of them."

Damn it, there are six to seven hundred people, and there are only a dozen regulars on my side. It's fucking impossible to fight!
Why did so many Mongolian cavalry suddenly appear?

"Ackers Knight, should you explain to me what happened?
The emergency you are talking about is not an invasion by these nomads, right? What about the Rus’ countries? How about Poland? And the Hungarian region, how did they cross so many regions to get here? "Henry VII asked.

“I don’t have time to explain so much to you, Your Highness, you just need to know that an extremely large expeditionary force is known to have invaded our country from the east.

Now the entire Rus region, the Bulgarian Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Poland, the Teutonic Knights, Prussia, and the Principality of Lithuania have all fallen, and even the entire capital of Austria has fallen. Knight Ax said with a long sigh.

"What? My God, this, how is this possible? What happened to me during these years of imprisonment?" Henry VII asked with a look of disbelief.

At first he thought it was the Archduke of Austria or the Archduke of Bohemia who was at odds with his father.

That's why I had to evacuate urgently, but I didn't expect that nomads would invade and so many countries would fall?
"The eldest prince gives you this sword. Whether we can survive for a while depends on God's will. If we can't survive, please don't reveal your identity and let them think you are an ordinary noble baron. That's good." Ax said.

While the two were talking, the Mongolian army had already appeared in front of them. All the Mongolian armies dispersed and surrounded everyone in just a moment. Then they aimed their bows and arrows at all the servants and some knights.

"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and I will spare your life." Qianhu Bart, the leader, said.

This time, it was Bart himself who carried out Zhang Yong's mission, and the Croatian knights who followed him acted as translators.

"Sir, we are just some small nobles in the countryside. Please let us go. You can take away all our property, as long as we keep our lives." The leading knight gritted his teeth and said.

Previously, the Mongolian army drove away many people from Austria. Ordinary people traveled to the German regions. Among them were many nobles, of course, after giving up all their property.

Barter ignored these people at all. He glanced at the crowd and saw a man wearing a black robe surrounded in the center.

The Croatian knights who followed also nodded to Bart. Bart waved his hand. All the Mongolian knights opened their bows and drew arrows. Hundreds of bows and arrows were shot out. Everyone present, except the man in black robe, They all fell under the rain of arrows.

"Prince Henry, the King of Guanzhong invites you, please come with us!" The Croatian knight came to the frightened Henry VII and said.

At this time, in the city of Vienna, the main Mongolian army, led by Batu Subotai, was already marching towards the German region in a mighty manner.

Zhang Yong himself stayed in Vienna with his own 10,000 troops.

In the afternoon of that day, Bart took a certain captured prince Henry VII and successfully met Zhang Yong himself.

"I really didn't expect that one day I would be summoned by a nomadic Khan in the palace of Vienna." Henry VII looked at Zhang Yong and said.

"It seems that you have been locked up for a long time. I'm afraid you don't even know what happened outside in the past few years, right?" Zhang Yong asked.

"I know a little bit. On the way here, the Croatian knight told me something.

Although it is not very detailed, it still surprised me. I heard that the Roman Empire in the east has actually been restored, and that the Bulgarian Empire was destroyed by you, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Poland, the Rus, the Principality of Lithuania, the Principality of Croatia, The principality of Serbia has surrendered to you? Henry VII looked at Zhang Yong and asked.

If all the news is true, then the man in front of him is simply Caesar resurrected! In other words, Alexander is resurrected!

What a brilliant and dazzling achievement this is! In just four years, they actually conquered such a huge land, conquered so many countries and peoples, and even restored the fallen Eastern Roman Empire.

"You are a smart man. Otherwise, you would not dare to raise an army to resist your father. I will make a long story short. I can make you the king of Austria and Germany." Zhang Yong said.

"You are so generous! So what is the price? There is no free lunch in this world, I learned this a long time ago." Henry VII asked.

really! The other party came for me. Father, father, you didn’t expect it! One day I actually have a chance to make a comeback.

"I can make you the king of Austria and Germany, but you must be loyal to the Great Mongol Empire.

But after you succeed to the throne, you must go to the Mongolian headquarters, Kharakhorin, to pay homage to the Mongolian Khan, and then donate one-tenth of your country's total income every year." Zhang Yong said.

"I can write letters to some lords in Austria and Germany. I have accumulated a lot of contacts in Germany and Austria before, and many small lords are willing to support me, but I hope our conditions can be changed. We can Make an alliance, but I will not surrender to you," Henry VII said.

In Henry VII's view, the other party's only purpose in obtaining him was to control some disobedient lords.

"I'm afraid you are overthinking. Now the entire Austrian region has been captured by us. The properties of all small lords have been confiscated by us, and people have been driven to the German region. Civil strife is currently breaking out in the German region.

Moreover, our army has already rushed over. We are just trying to find a better agent to support you. If you do not accept Mongolia's conditions, then we can also support new agents, such as the Duke of Austria who was captured by me. "Zhang Yong said.

This brat actually dares to negotiate terms with me. What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?
No wonder your dad locked you up. According to some historical accounts, you bastard launched at least two or three rebellions.

Your father forgave you the first two times. It was not until the third time that your father couldn't bear it anymore and imprisoned you. But even then, he didn't kill you.

After hearing this, Henry VII's face looked a little ugly, but he also knew the current situation. He was just a polished commander with only one title, and the rest was useless!

"I accept your conditions and I will surrender to your empire." Henry VII gritted his teeth and said.

"We in the East have a saying that he who knows the current affairs is a hero, which means he can see the situation clearly. And he who knows how to surrender is the real hero. Come, please send this prince back to have a good rest." Zhang Yong said said.

After dealing with the prince, Zhang Yong immediately led hundreds of cavalry and advanced lightly with the prince towards the camp of Batu and others. The remaining 10,000 Mongolian troops guarded Austria. area.

The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick II, frowned as he held the letter in his hand. Bad news had been coming one after another recently. He really didn't expect that his eldest son would be robbed by the Mongols.

But I hope the Mongolians don’t know his true identity!
Another letter made him a little happy. This Croatian Kalman finally sent a piece of useful information, that the Mongolian army was divided.

Among them, 30,000 troops went to Bohemia, and 10,000 troops were left to guard Austria.

"Write a reply to my illegitimate son and ask him to report to me the movements of the Mongolian army and where they are stationed." Frederick II said.

This Kalman, if only he could give me more useful information, I really have a headache now! (End of chapter)
