Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family
Chapter 552: Humiliating the Messenger of Arabia, Farewell Banquet at the Western Expedition
So the other party must have had some misunderstanding and thought that those Europeans sent a fake letter.
But unfortunately, this letter was written by me. Didn’t you expect that?
The main purpose of Zhang Yong writing this letter is to humiliate this Pearl Branch. Your behavior is too arrogant, isn't it?
I sent such a large fleet there, and you said to detain all the goods, so we detain all the goods. If you disagree, you will kill people and then drive them all back.
You even dare to send an envoy to question me, so of course I won’t be polite to you.
The Mamluk envoy opened his mouth wide when he heard this, in disbelief. Is this really the emperor of Central Plains?
Isn't it said that the emperors of the Central Plains are all polite and courteous? Why? Why is it like this?
"Great Emperor, Your Majesty, I didn't hear clearly what you meant. You meant that this letter was indeed written by you!
You ask our Sultan's wife, our Queen of Egypt, the Pearl Twig, to come and dance for you, right?"
The envoy from the Mamluk Dynasty once again wanted to confirm Zhang Yong's words. (In ancient times, it was called Tianfang Kingdom or the Black-clad Caliphate, but here it is written as Mamluk for everyone to understand. In ancient times, when civilians or other ministers discussed, they would call it the Black-clad Caliphate.)
"Yes, I did say that, and I also said that I would tie a dog chain around its neck and lead it to me. Wasn't my letter clear enough? Can't you understand it or what?" Zhang Yong said.
"How could you be so rude?"
"I am so rude because you were the first to be so rude. Our merchant ships were here to do business, but you were like robbers.
You directly detained all the goods and killed my merchants. Isn't this unreasonable?
Are you only allowed to kill my merchant, but not me to write a letter to insult your queen? I tell you, not only will I humiliate him, I will also wage war against you." Zhang Yong slammed the table and said with a cold face.
This time it was a declaration of war! Genghis Khan once attacked Khwarezm with such an excuse, and now Zhang Yong has also found such a suitable excuse.
The merchants I sent were doing business, but you seized their goods and killed them. This is your old tradition.
"Hmph! Our two countries are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is a huge desert. If you can walk over, just come! I will pass these words to our queen." The Mamluk envoy looked at Zhang Yong and roared.
"The Sultan of Khwarezm once cut off the beards of Genghis Khan's envoys, killed the main envoy, and only sent a deputy envoy back, right?" Zhang Yong sneered and looked at the envoy standing next to him.
"You, you, what do you want."
In the Muslim sect of this period, which is the Central Asian region, beard is a symbol of masculinity. If you don't have a beard, you are not a man. Only a thick and big beard can symbolize that you are a man.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm not as barbaric as the Sultan of Khwarezm. But I will shave off all your beards and cut off everyone's ears," said Zhang Yong.
I inherited the empire founded by Genghis Khan, so naturally I have to learn his style!
If you don't agree to my request, I will march west and fight until you agree.
"You, you, how dare you do this?"
"I am the son-in-law of Genghis Khan, and I am the emperor of Central Plains, but I am also the Great Khan of Mongolia. I still have this identity, don't forget it." Zhang Yong said.
In this era, the status of the Mongol Khan had not declined much. Even in some parts of Europe and Central Asia, this title was more famous than the emperor of the Central Plains, because it was won by Genghis Khan and his descendants.
"Come here! Take these messengers away, cut off one ear of each of them, and then shave off all their beards. Then use a knife to tattoo on their faces, using their own characters, saying that I want their Queen of Egypt to come here to see me in person, and on her knees." Zhang Yong said.
Under Zhang Yong's command, several fierce soldiers rushed in and dragged the envoy sent by the Mamluk Dynasty out directly, and then a scream was heard outside.
In the post station, the Mamluk envoy who was originally waiting for rewards from the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty also met with bad luck.
Every time the countries in their region sent envoys to the Central Plains, the emperor of the Central Plains would reward them with a large amount of wealth, exquisite clothes, silk products and porcelain.
Being sent as envoys to the Taohuashi Kingdom in the Central Plains, they were considered useless. However, what was waiting for them today was not a good thing. Instead of receiving Zhang Yong's reward, they received a large group of soldiers.
"What do you mean? We, we are guests of His Majesty the Emperor." Looking at the soldiers with fierce faces, an attendant envoy spoke tremblingly.
"Hmph! You are not envoys. You are here to provoke our country. How can an envoy kill the other party's merchants and detain a large amount of their goods?" The leading officer drew out the long sword in his hand.
"This, this, they are passing through our territory, and all this is ordered by the Sultan." said an attendant.
What's going on? Didn't they say that getting the Peach Blossom Stone from the East was a good job? The emperor would give them all kinds of rewards, and they would eat well and live well.
Why did he just rush in with a knife?
"Hmph! His Majesty said that letting a woman be in power and becoming your leader is a humiliation to him. He will not negotiate with a woman. Come, hold them all down, shave off their beards, and cut off their left ears." The leading soldier conveyed Zhang Yong's order.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"No, you devils, you can't shave our beards, you can't shave our beards."
"Woohoo! You can't shave our beards, they are sacred."
"Cut off our ears! Cut off our ears and give us back our beards."
But these soldiers didn't care about these things. Instead, they stepped forward fiercely with swords in hand and completed the task assigned by Zhang Yong.
The beard was shaved clean.
"You see, it's much more comfortable now. You all look a lot younger. It's so ugly to have a big beard." The leading officer said with a laugh.
"Woo woo!" A follower cried and banged his head against the wall, and his head was immediately broken and bleeding.
"You have shaved off our sacred beards. We have no face to see God." Many messengers began to commit suicide. (There is a real story here. During the Western Expedition, Damascus surrendered. Hulagu ordered not to massacre the city, but the European Crusaders wanted to massacre the city, but were stopped by Hulagu.
The European Crusaders came up with a very bad idea: if you don't allow us to massacre the city, then can we humiliate the local people?
So they lifted the veil of women and shaved off the beards of men, which led to a large number of civilians committing suicide. The veil of women and the beard of men are quite important.)
There were more than thirty messengers in total, more than a dozen of whom committed suicide. The rest all had one ear cut off and were directly kicked out of the post station.
"We are too embarrassed to see anyone. Let us die here. We are too embarrassed to go back." said a messenger with a shaved beard.
"We, we must go back, compatriots, we must go back and bring back the news that the East wants to go to war with us." said another messenger.
"That's right. We can't live for ourselves. We also need to consider the country. If we die here, no one will bring back the news that the East is going to attack us, and the country will be defenseless."
Finally, some of the envoys were persuaded, and all the Mamluk envoys began to support each other and leave Zhang Yong's capital Daxingfu and start returning along the same route.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. After we shaved their beards, some of them committed suicide." The general sent to carry out the mission knelt in front of Zhang Yong and spoke with a terrified look on his face.
He really didn't expect that these Tianfang people were so stubborn. They committed suicide just because their beards were shaved off, and they didn't even have time to cut off their ears.
"Hmph! Some people like to preserve traditions, then let them go to see God! Aren't there still a few alive? Tell the officials in various places to pay attention and not let them die on the road. Let them return the same way they came. I am counting on them to bring me the paintings!" Zhang Yong said.
What is a country of etiquette? I treat my friends as a country of etiquette, but I treat villains like a ferocious wolf. Only if you are fierce enough, the jackal will not dare to bully you.
Only if you are ruthless and strong enough, the enemy will not dare to spy on your country.
Zhang Yong shaved the messenger's beard and cut off his ears, and the news quickly spread among the people.
Most of the ordinary people applauded. After all, the caravan being robbed and the merchants being killed had caused quite a stir. "Finally, we can let out a sigh of relief. We should teach these Tianfang people a lesson."
"How dare a poor and remote place challenge our Celestial Empire?"
"The Emperor Daqian is quite courageous, much stronger than the Emperor of the Zhao family." A drinking man said.
"You bastard, how dare you talk like that? You're the emperor, too. You should call him Your Majesty. Do you understand the rules?
If you've had too much to drink, go somewhere else and don't cause trouble here." The restaurant owner snorted coldly.
Are you kidding me? If you say something bad about the emperor in front of me, what if the government gets in trouble with me? After all, this is the new dynasty!
"Haha, the emperor is magnanimous and will definitely not bother with a commoner like me."
"This is the emperor of us Central Plains people. Look at how cowardly the emperor of Zhao Song was. In hundreds of years, he has completely lost the bloodiness of us Han people." A scholar with a sword said.
"That's right. From now on, we will no longer be cowardly. Whenever an envoy from any country comes, we will treat him well. As a result, our envoys were treated unfairly in the past, and merchants who did business in the past were also suppressed."
"That's right, we need to humiliate them severely."
"I heard that the queen of Tianfang Kingdom is Wu Zetian. Her husband died, and she declared herself queen. She also married a man. This man was her general before, but now he has become her gigolo."
"Not only did he become a gigolo, he also became that Sultan. It was said that it was the king's will."
"Hahaha! The queen's nickname seems to be something like Pearl Twig. It is said that the new emperor threatened to capture this woman and bring her to the East."
"Why did the old emperor capture her and bring her to the East?"
"Hahaha! Of course I'll enjoy it."
"Hahaha!"
Soon the weather gradually turned cold, and heavy snow began to cover the entire northern region, but it was still autumn in the south. Although it was winter, the south was not very cold. Unlike the northern countries, which were basically covered with a layer of silver-white clothes.
Daxing Prefecture was also covered with white snow, but although the snow was thick, it could not suppress the atmosphere of Daxing Prefecture, and the New Year atmosphere was still in full swing.
Now Zhang Yong’s armored vehicle has been scrapped, and the drone can only fly in the sky for a few minutes. The battery is almost completely aged and can no longer fly.
The only thing that could be used normally was the projector. Every Chinese New Year, Zhang Yong would take out the projector and play a few carefully selected videos for all the people to watch.
This is also a wonder in the capital city. Many businessmen, citizens and students from other places come here to watch Zhang Yong's projector performance.
Look at those prehistoric beasts and see what those gods from outer space look like.
The appearance of these celestial beings, the magnificent landscape murals, and the giant beasts that blocked out the sky and the sun brought unparalleled shock to ordinary people.
At this time, no one doubted that Zhang Yong was not the one who accidentally entered the immortal cave. If he had not insulted the immortal cave, how could these things be there?
Sometimes theocracy is indeed much more useful than anything else. On the Mongolian grasslands, Zhang Yong has been regarded as the spokesperson of Eternal Heaven.
The Mongolian people are quite convinced of Zhang Yong. Now the Han people in the south and north have also begun to identify with Zhang Yong and the newly established empire.
Inside the imperial palace of Daxing Prefecture, countless palace maids and eunuchs carried pots of exquisite dishes and placed them in front of Zhang Yong. Today was Zhang Yong's family dinner. Dozens of his concubines, dozens of children, and even married children with their families, all sat together. There were as many as two hundred people in total.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Under the leadership of Queen Tulanlun, all of Zhang Yong's concubines paid homage together.
"Your son greets you, father!" The one leading Zhang Yong's sons is the eldest son Zhang Dingguan.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" His sons' wives, each with their own children, also paid homage to Zhang Yong.
"No need to be polite! Today is a family dinner, you don't need to be polite. Everyone sit down and come and eat!" Zhang Yong waved his hand, motioning everyone to take a seat.
It has been twenty-six or twenty-seven years since I traveled through time. I am about to turn fifty. In such a long time, my grandson has already been born.
Time really spares no one! But for modern people, if he stands outside now, people would only think he is in his thirties. To be honest, seeing so many descendants.
Zhang Yong suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment. His ethnic group hall was finally complete. There were even two European girls, as well as a Persian woman, a Western Xia woman, and a woman from the Delhi Sultanate.
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Soon the banquet began, and Zhang Yong's family members were no longer restrained. The women and children sat together at the table and chairs to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
This time the dinner was very sumptuous, with sea fish and shrimps from the south, cattle and sheep from the north, and yaks from the Tubo area.
There are fruits from Western Liao as well as fruits from the south. Things from all over the world are gathered on one table.
"Cherish this family dinner! In the next few years, you will have to live on your own on the journey to the west." Zhang Yong looked at his seven adult sons and said.
Zhang Dingguan, Zhang Dingxia, Zhang Dingchuan, Zhang Dingshu, Zhang Dingjin, Zhang Dingzhong, and Zhang Dingnan.
These seven children have grown up, and this time, they will participate in the Western Expedition together and make achievements together with their two older brothers.
"Father! Please rest assured that I will take good care of my brothers and will never let anything happen to them. I will also do what you ask, so please rest assured." Zhang Dingguan said.
"Well! I am confident in your ability to do the job. You have experienced the baptism of war many times. I believe that in this Western Expedition, you will successfully complete the goal and destroy Batu." Zhang Yong said.
"Father, I will definitely destroy Batu. It will take three years at the fastest and five years at the slowest. I will end this war and then return to the east." Zhang Dingguan said.
"Well! Dingxia! After you leave this time, you will establish a country in the west. If nothing unexpected happens, you will never see me and your mother again." Zhang Yong said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the table fell silent. When Farmaina heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and tears flowed out.
The other sons who participated in the expedition will all return, but the second son wants to establish his own country in the West and become the caliph to rule the entire Western Regions on behalf of their family. If nothing unexpected happens, I will never see him in this lifetime.
"Father! I will spend more time with you and mother during this period of time." Zhang Dingxia said with tears in his eyes.
I have to leave, because in the West, my father must have someone he can trust, someone with family blood, and I am the most suitable one. If I don't go, then this burden will fall on my younger brother.
The mother lost herself and another son.
"Woo woo! My son, Your Majesty, can you let him not go?" Farmaina said. (End of this chapter)
