Chapter 179: Out of the Sea
The war in Moscow was only due to one thing going out to the sea.
This period of time in Europe is an era of great voyage. Everyone is busy going out to sea. Moscow, which has no estuary, feels so uncomfortable.
Strictly speaking, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has an estuary. In the north, the Arctic Ocean, the ships freeze when they go out, so there is no estuary.
Ivan The Thunder Emperor worked hard to fight for the sea outlet. He first attacked the Krim Khanate to open up the Black Sea. Later, he found that even if the Black Sea was opened, there was a country called Ottoman. During this period, the Russians were poor and weak, and they definitely did not have the big arm to fight with Ottoman, so they could only aim at the Baltic Sea.
So the war lasted for decades, affecting Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom of Norway, the Knights of Livonia, Poland, Lithuania, and the Krim Khanate.
In this process, in order to fight against the vicious thin-haired bear, the angry Poland and Lithuania united to freely select the king to allow all nobles to choose a king against the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was one to fight against the many.
Interestingly, Ivan and the Terrible Emperor of Moscow could not get out, but Elizabeth of England could come in, which made the Moscow company in England make a big fuss.
This war lasted from the 37th year of Jiajing in 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 troops as liberators who rescued them from the Germans, allowing Ivan the Thunder to successfully conquer the city and territories.
But Riga was helpless in the most important sea port. The Knights of Swords asked for help from the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway. Sweden saw chaos joining in, and the opportunity for the countries to intervene, Ivan and the Thunder sent troops to attack Lithuania.
Let the relatively weak Lithuania decide to go with the Polish Federation.
Ivan the Thunder could indeed fight because he had a Tartars under his command. The European army was not familiar with the Tatars. Both the Denmark and the Swedes suffered great losses in the hands of the Tatars, and the capital of the Knights of the Sword was also taken down.
But there were plagues and famines in Moscow, and the external sources of materials were completely cut off. The English came here to make money and not to work hard, and no one could save him.
When Moscow assembled 30,000 troops composed of the Tatars and Cossacks gradually consumed during the long attack, the poor and weak Moscow was no longer able to organize a decent offensive, and the situation turned around and was invaded by the coalition forces.
Fortunately, there was a blizzard in Moscow, which allowed Ivan to drag him to ask the Roman priests to mediate the war and bow their heads and admit defeat.
After the war was over, the countries also happened to receive the summons of the Roman priests and all happily sent envoys.
The envoy sent by Polish King Stefan Bartori was his nephew Swedish prince Zigmont.
In fact, Stefan Bartori really wanted to go to the Vatican to thank the pope in person, but a long time ago, he had formed a bond with Habsburg because of the Polish throne. When he heard that there was Fei Laoer from Eagle Castle this time, he would not even want to send Poles to the rally.
As for the lower body castle, you have to get involved in any throne that can be mixed.
The United Kingdom established by Poland and Lithuania was elected by all nobles. As long as one person opposed the king, it would not be elected. There was also a giant Habsburg that wanted to intervene. The throne of Stefan Bartori was very difficult, so naturally it would not give Eagle Castle a good face.
The Krim Khanate was not a convening this time. The influence of the Roman priests was not yet at the level of Puzhasutan, but the Krim Khanate needed it, so they also sent an envoy to follow Sigmont all the way to Rome.
The messenger of the Khanate was named Asubaduer, which is a representative name.
Asu is Asu, who refers to the nomadic tribe in Crimea. In the Han Dynasty, he was called the Alan people. Among the Huns commanded by Attila, there were the Alan people who surrendered on the way to the west and followed Attila to expedition to Orleans.
Mongke, the great Mongolian Khan, also took the Luo Asu people to form the Asu army to move eastward, and entered the Central Plains to fight against the Southern Song Dynasty. There they were called the Blue Eye Huihui.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the first battle of the Red Turban Army against the Yuan Dynasty was to defeat 6,000 Asu Army.
Later, some Asu people merged into the Han area, and some were integrated into the Tumote tent.
And Baduer is the transliteration of the Mongolian warrior, and Batulu is also the same word.
Krim Khan had a good intention to find someone who could easily establish a relationship with the Ming army. Asubaduer's ancestors went to the Central Plains under the Mongge tent, and later settled for generations. They were driven away by the end of the Yuan Dynasty and moved westward. On the way, they were robbed by other Mongolian tribes. The road to returning home was extremely difficult.
Until now, their tribe that returned from the east was still not valued in Krim Khan due to its weak power.
The so-called Baduer is just a good wish when parents name their children, but in fact it is not at all.
The Khan was taken out of the tribe in a panic. The letter was put into his arms and assigned a mission to chase the Swedish prince Zigmont. Asubadur felt more uncomfortable as he went along the way.
What does it mean to sneak a sheep into the wolves?
It was when the Roman priest used his influence to call envoys from various countries for Chen Mu to meet with the meeting in Havana, an envoy of the Ottoman vassal Crim Khanate came in.
Unfortunately, Asubaduer is this sheep.
It was a rare event for Roman priests to convene envoys from all directions. The great nobles who received invitations from all over the country and the small feudal lords who did not receive invitations had to follow them, which almost led to the whole of Europe.
The nobles were going, and the merchants naturally wanted to go. There were also those unowned wandering knights and mercenaries recruited as guards, all rushed to Rome in a swarm.
As we walk, we will inevitably meet on the road. At night, we invite a few minstrels and singers, play the piano and drink some wine, and talk about the general trend of the world. Isn’t it a pleasure?
Any time we meet for a short time, it is not difficult for everyone to find: Hey, there seem to be more than a dozen pagans in the messengers of Poland, Lithuania and Sweden. It is better for us to take them...hehehehe.
The conspiracy and intrigues were difficult and dangerous, and he survived several times. When Asubatuer successfully saw the Roman city wall, he was already really a Batuer in terms of being wary of assassination and fighting.
But he still couldn't see Chen Ju, because the Swedish prince who came to the city to inquire about the news came back and told him that Chen Ju had already gone to Ottoman and that when he took a boat to Havana, he might even see another messenger sent by his Khan there.
Because the Ottomans would also issue orders to all vassal states like Roman priests to summon envoys, and the Ming Dynasty would convene countries all over the world in Havana except the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
The Krim Khanate is likely to be the only country in this grand event to send envoys to both factions.
