open sea

Chapter 1362

The war in Moscow was only because of one thing - access to the sea.

This period of time in Europe belongs to the era of great voyages. Everyone is busy going to sea. How uncomfortable is Moscow without an outlet to the sea.

Strictly speaking, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has an outlet to the sea. In the north, the Arctic Ocean freezes when ships go out, so there is no outlet to the sea.

Ivan the Terrible took great pains to fight for the mouth of the sea. He first attacked the Crimean Khanate to open up the Black Sea, and later found that even if the Black Sea was opened up, there was still a country called Ottoman, who was poor and weak these days and definitely did not have such a big arm. Wrestling with Ottoman, you can only aim at the Baltic Sea.

So this battle has been fought for decades, involving Sweden, the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, the Livonian Sword Knights, Poland, Lithuania, and the Crimean Khanate.

In the process, in order to fight against the vicious skinny bear, the angry Poland and Lithuania united and used the free election system to allow all nobles to elect a king to fight against the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which has one enemy and many enemies.

What's interesting is that Ivan the Terrible in Moscow couldn't get out, but Elizabeth in England was able to come in, which made the Moscow company in England earn a lot of money.

The war lasted from the 37th year of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty to the 11th year of Wanli. At first, due to the poor management of the Sword Knights, the local residents regarded the Moscow invading army as the liberators who rescued them from the Germans, so that Ivan the Terrible could Successfully conquered the city.

But Riga, the most important estuary to the sea, was at a loss. The Knights of the Sword asked for help from the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway.

Let relatively weak Lithuania decide to confederate with Poland.

Ivan the Terrible can indeed fight, because he has a vote of Tatars under his command, and the European army is not familiar with the Tatars. Whether it is Denmark or the Swedes, they have suffered big losses in the hands of the Tatars. The capital of the Knights of the Sword was also taken down.

However, there are plagues and famines in Moscow, and the source of external supplies has been completely cut off. The Englishman came here to make money, not to work hard, and no one can save him.

After the [-] troops assembled by Moscow composed of Tatars and Cossacks were gradually exhausted during the long-term offensive, the poor and weak Moscow was no longer able to organize a decent offensive, and the situation was reversed, and the coalition forces entered Moscow.

Fortunately, there was still a blizzard in Moscow, which allowed Ivan the Terrible to ask Roman priests to mediate the war and bow his head to admit defeat.

After the battle was over, all the countries just received the call of the Roman priest, and they all happily sent envoys.

The envoy sent by Poland's King Stefan Bathory was his nephew, Prince Sigismund of Sweden.

In fact, Stefan Bathory really wanted to go to the Vatican to thank the Pope in person, but a long time ago, because of the Polish throne, he had a relationship with the Habsburgs. When he heard that there was also Fei Laoer from Eagle Castle , not to mention that he himself will not go, and he is not even willing to send Poles to this rally at all.

For the lower body, any throne that can be mixed must be mixed.

In the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, all the nobles elect the king. As long as there is one person who opposes the king, the king cannot be elected. There is also a behemoth like Habsburg who wants to get involved. Naturally, it would not give Eagle Castle a good face.

The Crimean Khanate was not included in this convening, and the influence of the Roman priests had not yet reached the point where Sudan could be overwhelmed, but the Crimean Khanate needed it, so they also sent an envoy to follow Sigismund all the way to Rome .

The emissary of the Khanate was named Asubatur, which is a representative name.

Asu is Aso, referring to the nomadic tribe living in Crimea. They were called Alans in the Han Dynasty. Among the Hungarian troops commanded by Attila, there were Alans who surrendered on the westward migration road and accompanied Attila on his expedition. orleans.

Mongolian Great Khan Mengge also recruited Luo Asuo people to form the Asu Army to move eastward, and entered the Central Plains to fight against the Southern Song Dynasty, where they were called Biyan Huihui.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the first battle of the Red Turban Army against the Yuan Dynasty was to defeat the [-] Asu Army.

Later, some Aso people were integrated into the Han area, and some were integrated into Tumed's tent.

And Batuer is a transliteration of Mongolian warrior, and Batulu is also the word.

The Great Khan of the Crimea worked hard to find someone who could easily gain ties with the Ming army. The ancestors of Asubadul went to the Central Plains under Meng Ge’s tent, and settled down for generations, but were expelled at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. All the way westward, he was plundered by other Mongolian tribes on the way, and the road back home was extremely difficult.

Until now, they, a tribe returning from the east, are still not reused in the Crimean Khanate due to their weak strength.

The so-called Batuer is just a good wish of parents when naming their children, but it is not Batuer at all.

In a panic, Khan took him out of the tribe, put the letter in his arms, and assigned the mission to chase after the Swedish prince Sigismund.

What is a sheep mixed with wolves?

It was when the Roman priests used their influence to convene envoys from various countries to Havana for a meeting on behalf of Chen Mu that an envoy from the Ottoman vassal Crimean Khanate mixed in.

Unfortunately, Asubatuer was the sheep.

It was a rare grand event for the Roman priests to summon the envoys of the princes from all over the world. The great nobles who received the invitation and the small feudal lords who did not receive the invitation all followed to see it, which almost drove the whole of Europe.

The nobles were going, and the merchants were naturally going even more, as well as those homeless wandering knights and mercenaries recruited as guards, all rushed to Rome in a swarm.

It is inevitable that we will meet on the road as we walk. Wouldn't it be nice to invite a few bards and singers to play the piano and drink some wine at night, and talk about the general trend of the world?

During the short meeting, it is not difficult for everyone to find out: Hey, there seem to be a dozen pagans in the Polish, Lithuanian and Swedish envoys, why don't we put them... Hehehe.

The conspiracy and tricks along the way were difficult and dangerous, and he escaped several times. When Asubatuer successfully saw the city wall of Rome, at least in terms of guarding against assassination and fighting, he was already a real Batuer.

But he still couldn't see Chen Ju, because the Swedish prince who went to the city to help him inquire about the news came back and told him that Chen Ju had already gone to Ottoman, and when he took a boat to Havana, he might still see the man sent by the Great Khan there. Another messenger.

Because Ottoman will also issue an order to summon envoys to all vassal states like the Roman priests, and Ming will summon all countries in the world except the vassal states of Ming Dynasty in Havana.

The Crimean Khanate is likely to be the only country in this event that has sent envoys to both factions.

A difficult question was posed in front of Asubatul, whether he would get on the ship sent by the Catholic world to Havana or not?
