The 99th year of the Great Zhou Republic, the 82nd year of the Guangming Calendar, and the 1212th year of the Western Calendar.

After more than a year of long journeys of sea and land, the huge group of ambassadors from the East finally arrived at the most prosperous city of Kiev on the Black Soil of Ross.

The city was once the capital of Kievan Rus. After the fall of Kievan Rus, the city fell into the hands of the conquerors from the East.

The Ross people in the city still remember the terrifying legends they heard from their ancestors... The 200,000-strong golden tent army armed with muskets, cannons and strong armor roared, swept across the entire Ross prairie and entered the rich black soil. The eighteen Ross Principles fell one by one, and no city resisted in front of the terrifying Jin soldiers for more than three days.

Finally, the army of the Golden Horde, under the leadership of their Great Khanate King Zongbi, met outside the city of Kiev. The camp of a 200,000 army surrounded Kiev.

The desperate Grand Duke of Kiev sent envoys to Constantinople and Rome, hoping that the crusaders could come to Kiev to save the Christians surrounded by pagans.

But before the Grand Duke's envoy arrived at his destination, Wang Zongbi's cannon blasted the walls of Kiev.

The Jin soldiers carrying heavy muskets and spears rushed in, and the warriors of Kievan Rus were vulnerable to them and all died miserably.

Then the Golden Horde King Zongbi issued a "Light Order" to the entire city... Christians in Kiev will either convert to the light or be executed!

Countless believers who firmly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ chose to martyrdom and prove their loyalty to the Lord with their lives. But more people chose God of Light.

A few days later, all the churches in Kiev became light halls. The talisman frame of the God of Light replaced the cross, and the messenger of light replaced the priest...

Since then, Kyiv has also had a city of light, also known as the city of light!

The Golden Horde that conquered Kiev did not continue to move westward as expected by the kings of Eastern Europe and Western Europe who were trembling with fear by the "golden tent" and the "yellow peril".

Instead, he stopped in the rich black soil zone, regarded the city of Kiev as his own comfort zone, and began his hard work for decades.

A large number of carefully designed and constructed "Guangming style" buildings (actually semi-Chinese and semi-Persian buildings) appeared in the city of Kiev, and a huge basin structure protected the beautiful city.

Commerce, handicrafts and education in cities have also developed well.

The Jurchens who conquered Kiev were not the barbarians who had just emerged from the deep mountains and forests. They had long absorbed the civilizations of the Han and Persians, and had also established two capitals at the foot of the Yin Mountains and on the banks of the Volga River. Therefore, they had accumulated rich experience and could turn the city of Kiev into a big city with the third and fourths of Europe at that time (one and two must be Constantinople and Rome).

When Yang Anguo, the envoy of the Great Zhou Republic, arrived in Kiev together during the peaceful and peaceful manner, they were all shocked by the city in front of them.

According to the records of Heiyishi in his "Miscellaneous Notes of Hojo" (the ancestors of Heiyishi came from Japan, Hiraki, and Miaozi Hojo): "...Kiev is slightly the same as Xuzhou, and is protected by mounds and ridges on the outside, which are extremely strong, so the Mongols are not allowed to enter. The city walls are extremely prosperous, with straight streets and no tiles. There are many tall Zhou-style buildings, slightly Persian style. There are many residents in the city, known as 300,000 to 400,000. Most of the people have blond hair and white skin, blue and green eyes, and believe in the Guangming Heavenly Principles. Women are often graceful when they were young, with beautiful faces, and fat when they were older. There are also black hair and black pupils in the city, all of whom are noble people, not called Jurchens, but Han people..."

It is obvious that Kiev was a very prosperous and beautiful city at this time. Due to the protection of the outer bastion, it did not suffer much damage in the Mongol attack.

However, the nobles and people in the city still hate the cruelty of the Mongols very much. Although Kiev has not been broken, there are still many Jurchen cities in the black soil area. After all, not every city is as strong as Kiev, and even if it is strong enough, there are not necessarily enough defenders.

As for the villages in the countryside outside the city, they were even more destroyed, and many places were empty in nine out of ten rooms!

What made the Kiev citizens even more angry was that the evil Mongols actually broke through the top of light in Baku and plundered the saint of light Mo Qisi...

That is the number one agent of God of Light in the world!

The hatred of the Mongols naturally turned into a warm welcome to the Great Zhou mission!

Therefore, the Great Zhou delegation who came to Europe from a distance on an "Aggressive" class battleship (displacement of 15,000 stones) received an unprecedented warm welcome in Kiev City.

The Khan of the Golden Horde is Wang Yongji, a descendant of Wang Zongfu, the third son of Aguda. His father, Wang Yong, was the son of Wang Zongfu. He came to power through a palace coup and created a prosperous era of the Golden Horde.

However, the prosperous and prosperous Khanate completely wiped out the fighting spirit of the Jurchens. The land they occupied was so good and fertile that they could harvest any harvest. Moreover, this black soil was close to the Black Sea. Through the Dnieper River and the Black Sea, the output of the black soil could be transported to cities along the Mediterranean coast. Then various exquisite handmade products were transported back to Kiev. The city was decorated to rival Tianjin and Xuzhou... Oh, in fact, Kiev is much more beautiful than Tianjin, Xuzhou, Jiangning, Shanghai, and Haizhou!

Because there is no "secondary industry" that will produce pollution in the city of Kiev, there are not so many workers in handicraft workshops, naturally there are no unemployed people, and there are not many bankrupt farmers who pour in from the countryside.

With such beautiful and wealthy cities and villages, where did the Jin people conquered Poland, Lithuania, and even the Holy Roman Empire?

Those places are not as good as Kievan Rus! Kievan Rus can trade with Eastern Rome, Italy, Egypt and the Dashi Empire through sea routes. Poland, Lithuania and Shinra are close to the Baltic Sea, and who will they trade with? Are the pirates in Nordic?

The loss of pioneering was not the worst, the worst was that the Jin people also lost interest in their nests in the Volga River.

How can the Volga River compare to the black soil of Ukraine? It is not that fertile, not connected to the Mediterranean, and there are no Ukrainian young models... It is too boring to live there! Moreover, the number of "purebred Han people" in the Golden Horde has not increased so much. In the era of Zongbi's conquest, there were about 600,000, and the number of people is still hovering around 700,000 to 800,000. At the same time, the population of mixed-race and blonde-haired and blue-eyed Ross without the qualification of "Hangui" has increased at a faster rate. In this case, in order to strengthen its rule in the Black Earth, the Han people in the Golden Horde had to gather their tribes and live in several large cities along the Black Sea and the Dnieper River.

So when Wang Yongji came to power as the Khan, the Han people in the Golden Tent had actually given up the grasslands in the Volga River and Ural River, and lived in cities in the black soil zone, living a comfortable life.

Therefore, when the Mongols rose up in the Ural River area, Wang Yongji had no idea of ​​sending troops to exterminate them.

His eyes were just staring at Yelu Zhilugu of the Constantinople's Great Stone Empire in the south to the south and wanted to seize the King's Fortress and achieve his dream of entering Europe. Wang Yongji was unwilling to see the King's Fortress fall into the hands of the powerful Great Stone Empire.

Because that will inevitably lead to the trade route of the Golden Horde to the south!

Therefore, the Golden Horde united Eastern Rome and Egypt to launch a series of open and secret struggles with the Dashi Empire, and even joined forces with Adilai Safdin of the Ayubic dynasty (Saladin's younger brother, after Saladin's death, used the struggle between Saladin's three sons to seize power and become a sultan) to siege the Dashi Empire.

It was precisely because of Yongji's short-sightedness that the Golden Horde missed the best opportunity to destroy Temujin. When the Mongolian army rushed over like a tide, he was at a loss and knew to defend Kiev. In the end, he paid annual monies and called Temujin a minister.

However, when Temujin led his troops to the east and the envoys of the Great Zhou Republic arrived in Kiev again, Wang Yongji's mind became active again.

After all, it was too humiliating to pay tribute to the Mongols before... Now these arrogant Mongols have provoked the Great Zhou and Western Song, among the three powerful enemies of Xia, which they could not resist at all.

So it’s only a matter of time before Temujin fails!

"Temujin surrounded the net? Really? Eastern and Western Song Dynasties will also participate?"

"This is great! With the lead of Zhu Xia Sanxiong, what else is there?"

"Yes, the Great Zhou Dynasty alone is enough to deal with Temujin. What's more, there are two Song dynasties joining!"

"Now I can finally get rid of my previous shame!"

"That's great, the Golden Horde can finally regain its former prestige..."

"That's right, we must let the Mongolian Tartars know how powerful we Han people are!"

"Yes! You must kill all the captives!"

Perhaps even Wu Haogu, who had been buried in Babaoshan, Yanjing, would not have thought that these Jurchens who had been to Ukraine would actually think they were Han people... and they were noble pure-blooded Han people!

This perception was caused by the "entering into China" education implemented by the Golden Horde after arriving in the Volga River Basin.

The main reason why the Golden Horde implemented the "entering China" policy was of course because of the strength of the three heroes of the Xia Dynasty! Especially in the New Zhou Dynasty, the two world empires that brought their own New World Continent were placed there, who would not want to attract relatives?

A relative can also make a fool of himself and scare Europa!

So when Mongolia rose, the Han people in the Golden Tent naturally hoped that the Chinese motherland would lend a helping hand.

However, the embassies of the Great Zhou, Western Song and Eastern Song dynasties in Kiev have always been claiming neutrality and have no intention of interfering in Western wars... It was not until not long ago that news came from New England on the Crim Peninsula that the Great Zhou Republic sent a huge mission and proposed to form an anti-Temujin alliance!

The so-called New England was not a colony of the Kingdom of England on the Crem Peninsula, but a stronghold established by a group of Anglo-Saxon warriors who fought against the Norman conquest and their descendants.

After the failure of the war against the Norman Conquest, these people went into exile to Eastern Rome, attached to Alexei I (Kominina's father), joined the Valangi Guard, and obtained a piece of land located in the southern part of the Crem Peninsula, which originally belonged to the Eastern Roman Empire, and established the "New England Colony" to remember their homeland.

However, the freedom of New England could not last for many years. It fell under the attack of the Golden Horde and became a vassal minister who was dependent on the Golden Horde.

The English warriors on the Crim Peninsula also turned to serve the army of the Golden Horde.

New England City itself has gradually become a foreign trade port for the Golden Horde.

The Great Zhou delegation that bypassed the African continent was to dock in New England on the Cromu Peninsula, and then, under the protection of New England mercenaries, crossing the black soil villages where thieves were rampant due to the Mongol invasion, and arrived in Kiev.

...

"Will the Great Zhou send troops to Europe?"

In the city of Kiev, in the Palace of Light, Wang Yongji, who was holding a banquet to welcome the Great Zhou delegation from afar, suddenly asked directly whether Zhou would send troops.

Yang Anguo, who was a soldier, looked at him, his deputy, and his short professional diplomat Ping Yi.

Yi Shi said: "The Great Zhou Republic currently has a small number of troops stationed in Europe. We have castles, ports and markets in Gibraltar in southern Spain."

The territory of Gibraltar he mentioned was taken from the territory of Córdoba that ruled the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The so-called Córdoba caliph actually no longer exists. As early as 1031 of the Western calendar, after the last Caliph of Córdoba was abolished, the Caliphate was divided into more than 20 small feudal countries. The Christian countries on the Iberian Peninsula took the opportunity to rise and have now regained most of the peninsula, suppressing the small state of the Tianfang Cult to the southern part of the peninsula.

At the same time, the Christian Egyptian Kingdom expanded greatly along the coast of North Africa, capturing two colonial cities, Ceuta and Nagia along the coast of Morocco on the opposite side of the Iberian Peninsula, causing the Tianfangists on the Iberian Peninsula to be attacked from both sides.

In this case, Emir of Grenada took the initiative to contact Zhou State and cede Gibraltar to exchange for Zhou State to guarantee peace between them and the Egyptian Kingdom.

Wang Yongji was not satisfied with Ping Yishi's answer and frowned, "Ping Deputy Envoy, I am asking when the Great Zhou Republic can send troops to the Ross Plain... Ross's terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend, and it is difficult to resist Temujin's army!"

Yang Anguo smiled and said, "Temujin's army cannot come to Ross for the time being. Because the Western Song Dynasty has declared war on Temujin, the 200,000 expeditionary force has set out and will soon counterattack the Thunderbolt City.

Although our country has no plan to send troops directly to the Ross Plain, it will send instructors to help the Golden Horde train its army, and will also recruit mercenaries for the Golden Horde through financial support.

In addition, we will also provide the latest artillery and muskets to the Golden Horde."

In other words, the Great Zhou Republic will pay money, guns, and instructors, while the Golden Horde and the Western Liao Dynasty only need to be responsible for sending people.
