Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Don't underestimate my brother! Now the entire Hungarian national power is controlled by my mother and me.

In the future, I will further centralize power, and I will also take control of the Croatian region.

Originally, Hungary would definitely be a powerful country in this land, and I would inherit my father's name and become the new generation of emperor." The little King Charles said proudly.

Although they had only been together for less than half a year, he learned a lot from this brother.

The political philosophy of the East, centralized royal power being greater than divine power, these ideas influenced the little king, not to mention that his father was King John, the great emperor of the East.

He is the descendant of the noble King John, and he must not let down his father's reputation. He must become the great emperor of this western land, not an unknown king.

"Hahaha! Is that so? Well, I'm looking forward to that day when you intimidate European countries and spread our father's reputation." Zhang Dingguan patted his brother's shoulder happily and said.

Before returning from this western expedition, he had summoned the Russian grand dukes to the Hungarian royal city for a meeting. After they withdrew, the Russians would form an alliance with Hungary.

"But you, brother, when you rule the Eastern kingdom in the future, if you encounter any troubles, don't forget to send a letter to the West. I will bring the Western army to help you." said the little king.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other brothers and even Queen Maria covered their mouths and chuckled.

This child obviously has no idea how powerful his father and their empire are in the East!
The national strength of the entire Eastern empire is dozens of times greater than the total of all the countries here combined, and its military force and total population far exceed those of European countries.

"Hahaha! If that day really comes, I will definitely not be polite to you. But if it is an enemy of mine that I cannot defeat, then your coming will probably be of no use." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Hahaha! This little brother is quite courageous." Zhang Dingchuan said.

"Queen Maria, will you really not consider returning to the East with me to see my father?" After saying goodbye to the little king, Zhang Dingguan once again came to Queen Maria and asked.

"I have recorded a video, you can go back and bring it to your father. I have too many concerns here, and my son has not grown up yet.

In the future, when my son grows up, he will have children, and I will have grandchildren here. Only here can I have a home. I am destined not to go to the East. "Queen Maria shook her head and said.

The relationship between himself and Zhang Yong is very complicated, but no matter what, he cannot abandon his son, abandon his country, and blindly pursue his lover.

"Well, Queen Maria, you and father can still maintain correspondence. After we open up the trade routes between the East and the West, we will establish a complete intelligence and trade routes, and then the spread of letters will be faster." Zhang Dingguan said.

Hearing this, Queen Maria nodded.

A grand royal banquet was held in the palace of the Hungarian royal city, and the young king finally married the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire.

However, due to their age, they were only engaged, and a grand wedding would be held after they came of age. (There were no so-called royal family members in the Eastern Roman Empire, so the two were not related by blood.)
In addition to being the little king's engagement party, this banquet was also a farewell party. Zhang Dingguan, his brothers, and other Mongolian and Han army generals attended the banquet together.

A few days later, the Mongolian army began to pack up and prepare to return east.

In mid-March of that year, Zhang Dingguan led his army along the Kipchak steppe.

He began his journey back eastward along the route his father Emperor Zhang Yong had taken, and was expected to arrive in Karakorum in the winter of that year.

The Ögedei Khanate and the Kulejian Khanate had already established their own states on this land. It took 50,000 Han Chinese troops more than a year to reclaim the wasteland here and put it into use again.

This land will be a grain-producing area in the future. The princes, thousand households and ten thousand households of the Khanate of Ögedei all abide by the national policy set by Zhang Yong. In addition to developing animal husbandry, they also need to develop agriculture.

Let their country have an agricultural grain-producing area to produce some grain. These farmlands are vital to the two Han countries.

In the future they will not be able to graze here, but will have to continue to cultivate the land and grow wheat, and perhaps learn how to bake bread from the Russians.

After this kind of toast is baked, it can be kept in a dry place and will not go bad for a month or two. It is also very suitable as military rations. However, Zhang Dingguan will no longer care about these things.

Because their war was over, 50,000 Han troops and 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, a total of 100,000 people, set out on their journey home.

"Uncle Hedan! From now on, this piece of land will be handed over to your Ogedei family. This piece of land is larger than the Mongolian grassland, and the grassland is more fertile.

You can feed countless cattle, sheep, and horses, protect the trade routes between the East and the West, and ensure the prosperity of the Khanate." After entering the Kipchak steppe.

Hedan brought several thousand troops from the Ogedei family to see them off and accompanied them on a walk around the Kipchak steppe.

"Dingguan! I originally thought that you would become the Khan here this time, or because of your brotherhood, you would become the Khan here. I didn't expect that your father would actually hand over this land to our Ogedei family." Hedan said.

To be honest, many generals of the Ogedei family did not expect that Zhang Dingguan and his son Zhang Yong would actually abide by the agreement with Guiyou and reward this land to the Ogedei family.

"This is the agreement between my father and Uncle Guiyou. Uncle Guiyou has never lied to our family, nor has he lied to my father. My father will naturally not go back on his word." Zhang Dingguan said.

It would be best to give this land to the Ogedei family to rule. If the land is too far away, it will be difficult to rule, and none of his brothers are willing to live on this grassland.

"Don't worry, we will always recognize the Daqian Empire. Khan Zhang Yong is our suzerain. Each new generation of our Khan will report to the emperor of the Daqian Empire when he ascends the throne!" Hedan said.

"Well! Uncle Hedan! Develop this land well. The number of Mongols is still too small."

More than 60,000 troops of the Ogedei family and hundreds of thousands of people of the Ogedei family settled here, in addition to the Mongols who remained from the previous Golden Horde period.

Now, there are more than 600,000 Mongolian herdsmen in the Khanate of Ogedei, who can organize a grassland army of more than 100,000 people. As for the remaining Turks and Cumans, they once again surrendered to the Ogedei family.

The only things Zhang Dingguan took away were a few thousand direct descendants of the Jochi family. All other Mongolian herdsmen were left on the grassland.

If the number of Mongolian herdsmen can exceed one million, then these ethnic minorities can be subdued, so more births should be encouraged. The grasslands in this land are very vast and fertile, and can feed many people.

"I understand. There is also the issue of religion, which I will pay attention to. I will not allow anyone in the Khanate of Ogedei to convert to one religion." Hedan said.

Before launching the Western Expedition, Zhang Yong recruited him into the palace and explained to him in detail the dangers of a single religious dominance, as this would threaten the rule of the monarchy.

YSL, Catholicism, Shamanism, Nestorianism, and even Orthodoxy can spread their beliefs to each other, but no single religious force should be allowed to dominate.

"Uncle Hedan, as long as you follow my father's plan, there will be absolutely no problem. You need to slowly change the beliefs and customs of the people of this land, the Kipchaks and the Turks, instead of just killing them all at once.

Soon, the Abbasid dynasty established by the Caliph will fall, which will surely deal a huge blow to their religion. You can take this opportunity to free them from the shackles of their sect." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Well! I understand, Dingguan. Although you call me uncle, in name we are both grandchildren of Genghis Khan. You also have the blood of the Golden Family flowing in your body. You have also used this Western Expedition to prove the nobility and legitimacy of your bloodline." Hedan said.

"Uncle Hedan! The little king of Hungary is my father's blood. If the Kingdom of Hungary encounters any trouble on this land, please help take care of it." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Don't worry! I know that Khan Zhang Yong's bloodline is also the bloodline of the Golden Family. I will take care of him. After I die, I will also ask my son to take care of him. As long as our Ogedei Khanate has not been destroyed, we will not let it disappear, and we will ensure that the bloodline of this little king can be passed on." Hedan said.

To be honest, he originally wanted to marry the little king of the West! But in the end, the little king chose the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Perhaps in the future, when this little king comes of age, his descendants may be able to marry a daughter of the Ogedei family.

"Hahaha! Uncle Hedan! Just take care of yourself and I'll send you here! Your country has just been established and still needs good development!" Zhang Dingguan nodded and said.

Hedan nodded and stopped seeing off the army on the Western Expedition.

Europe's westward expedition has officially ended!

Zhang Dingguan led all his troops and set out on the journey back east from the Western Expedition.

On another battlefield, the battle of the Western Expedition had just begun, and an army of 200,000 people was marching forward.

They rested for a full year in the land of Khwarezm. After the long winter, they spent several more months traveling, crossing the long Gobi Desert.

The second army to the west was led by Zhang Dingxia, Zhang Dingjin, Bater, Hulagu, Guo Kan and others.

They also came to the first place they wanted to conquer, the territory of the Assassin Old Man of the Mountain.

This will be the first place the Western Expedition Army will attack. About half a month ago, the vanguard of the Western Expedition Army had already arrived here. The commander of the vanguard army was none other than Que Debuhua.

The Assassins are a terrorist organization that has been entrenched here for hundreds of years. Even in the same Islamic country, some local monarchs and sultans regard the old man in the mountain and his organization as heretics among heretics.

Even Europeans didn't like them very much. When the Kingdom of Jerusalem still existed, the Old Man of the Mountain often sent his own assassin troops to carry out extortion.

“Commander! Ahead is the Eagle’s Nest where the old man in the mountain is. The castle here is built very trickily.

It is on a high mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The road to the mountain is very rugged and can only accommodate two people. If the army wants to go up the mountain, it is very difficult. Just send a few dozen defenders. You can guard some important roads, and even more people can't go up. "Bamxin said.

When he accepted the assassination mission and came to the East, he was actually extremely desperate and didn't even have any hope when he first arrived in the East.

But sometimes, life is full of surprises. He met his long-lost brother, and then joined the Eastern monarch and witnessed him unify the entire East.

In just twenty years, this great monarch completed the unification of the East and expanded his sphere of influence to the lands that once existed in the West.

They came to the place where they were born, the territory of the Old Man of the Mountain. Now he was leading an army to wipe out the once-invincible Old Man of the Mountain.

"Bamxin! You were born in this land and should be very familiar with it. Do you think they will surrender to us?" Zhang Dingxia asked.

Some of the training methods used by his father's ace army, the Assassin Corps, came from the Assassin organization.

The terrain here is truly easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is inconvenient to transport cannons up there, so we can only attack from the bottom of the mountain, so if possible, it is best to persuade the enemy to surrender.

“Grand Prince, if it were the ordinary grassroots, those lowest-level assassin apprentices, and ordinary assassins, then I tell you, they would never surrender.

They are all fanatical believers, and even think that death is an honor, because they firmly believe that they will go to heaven, but if they are some assassin masters who know the truth, it is another matter. "Bamxin rolled his eyes and spoke.

Some assassin masters knew the truth. The place where these assassin apprentices and ordinary assassins went was not the legendary paradise at all, but a place they carefully designed.

The only purpose of designing this place is to deceive these teenagers. After they become adults, they will be brought here to enjoy honey, fruits, wine, and beautiful women. They will party here for seven days or even half a month before being taken out.

Whether they were leaving or entering, they were all knocked unconscious, so they had no idea where they were going.

At this time, the old man in the mountain will appear in front of them and tell them that the place they are going to is heaven.

If you die while performing your mission, you will be able to go to that place again after death and stay there forever.

“The old man in the mountain would let these assassin apprentices inhale a very secret poison gas, and then make them have self-hallucinations, thus controlling them through this method.

Only some assassin masters and assassin elders know the truth." Bamsin said.

Hearing this, Zhang Dingxia nodded. It seemed that this organization that had stood in the world for a hundred years was not so easy to deal with.

A strong attack would undoubtedly result in heavy losses. Otherwise, he would send an envoy first to see if the old man in the mountain is willing to surrender to him.

After all, although his castle is easy to defend but difficult to attack, if you besiege it yourself, you can't store enough food for one or two years on the mountain, right? It's only a matter of time before you are besieged to death.

However, Zhang Dingxia still ordered his scout troops to set out, explore the nearby terrain first, and then ordered the army to set up camp.

But that night, an unexpected news was delivered.

"Master, I have already found out everything! The old man in the mountain is named Aladdin.

He sent his son Rukledin with a hundred thousand troops to wait for us at the foot of the mountain, and he is said to be ready to fight us to the death." The scout knelt on the ground and spoke.

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent showed a look of disbelief. Was this a mistake?

The old man in the mountain did not choose to rely on the terrain to hold on in his castle, but chose to let his son lead the army down the mountain to fight him to the death!

This is really, really too weird!

"Are you sure? That old man in the mountains, whose son, Rukledin, is bringing an army of 100,000 down the mountain to fight me? Do they really have 100,000 troops?" Zhang Dingxia asked.

It was already a formidable thing for an army of tens of thousands to live in the Eagle's Nest, but they only controlled a small area nearby.

And they are basically all notorious. During the most powerful period of the Old Man in the Mountain, he only controlled an army of tens of thousands of people. Where did he get an army of 100,000 people!
And more importantly, if you really have an army of 100,000, why don't you stay on the mountain?
"Coach! I have been observing from a distance.

Rather than saying it was an army of 100,000, it would be more accurate to say that there were only more than 30,000 troops, and most of them were ragtag troops.

Some of them are even made up of bandits or civilians, just to make up the numbers." The scout knelt on the ground and spoke.

"Okay, I understand. You go down first!" Zhang Dingxia nodded and said.

"Commander, I think there may be a trick here. No general would deploy his troops in this way, abandoning his advantageous terrain and bringing a group of ragtag troops to fight a decisive battle with us." A Han general said. (End of this chapter)
