Chapter 18 Moscow, the Loyal City

The Civil War was the worst crisis since the Khanate established the tent. The young Khan might have understood why his Greek father-in-law had to repeat the exam every day, saying that internal troubles were more serious than external ones.

Khanting had long known the internal conflicts, but no one expected that it would come so suddenly and violently.

Sui Yexianbuhua Taishi attacked the Northern Yajun in Poland, supported his son Boyan, rebelled against the court, and colluded with the enemy country to prepare to go south.

At this time, the guards of the Southern Ya are located on various battlefields from Thrace to Transylvania. Some of the loyal new troops in the Northern Ya army were also suddenly besieged by the rebels in the Northern Expedition Army and destroyed; some are arresting a group of bandits in the Principalities of Ross.

More than ten years ago, the Grand Tutor Yexianbuhua defeated the Golden Horde Zhanibee in the decisive battle. Since then, the Duchy of Ross gradually shifted from the Golden Treasure to the Purple Treasure. However, this kind of surrender is still reluctant, and they actually don’t like it.

This time, the princes and princes had already made plans. They elected the Grand Duke of Tver Ivan as their leader, and had already secretly colluded with Lithuania, Poland and other countries, preparing to launch an attack together and defeat the scattered new troops.

More than a thousand new troops were coming to Tver at this time. Ivan planned to wait for them to relax their vigilance and eliminate them in one fell swoop. Other princes will learn from his actions and strive to resolve them as soon as possible.

At the critical moment, the Grand Duchy of Moscow received this news through merchants. The loyal Grand Duke of Moscow Dmitry immediately reported the rebellious princes to the Khanate.

The Moscow family had always had a very good relationship with the Khanate of all dynasties, and the intimate relationship between the two sides can be traced back to the Badu era. When the Western Expedition Army of Badu came to the Ross region, Yaroslav, the ancestor of the Dadu, was the first locals to surrender to them.

Yaroslav had a good relationship with Badu, and as a representative of Badu, he attended the Hulyltai Conference of Hala and Lin. However, Ogedei's wife, Noma Zhen, who was in power, hated Badu, detained Yaroslav and finally poisoned him to death.

Perhaps because of this, Badu was very kind to Yaroslav's son Alexander, and even let his son Saridar become Anda. With Badu's support, Alexander also had his own territory.

Alexander was a very capable man. He had previously led the Novgorod army to defeat the Swedish robbers by the Neva River. The Slavs actually defeated the Nordic people, which shocked everyone. People gave him the nickname "Nevsky", which means "the hero of the Neva River". Later, he defeated the German Knights of the Eastern Expedition in Lake Chud, and achieved a miraculous victory at the time, making people realize that the Slavs could also fight.

What is even more valuable is that unlike other princes who have some power to rebel, Alexander Nevsky was very loyal to the Khanate.

Later, his younger brother Andre secretly united Prince Ross and Western countries to overthrow the rule of the Mongols. Alexander immediately reported to the Khan, destroying his relatives for justice, and promptly defeating the evil plan of the conspirators.

The Khanate of the Golden Horde also reciprocates. Alexander Nevsky sent his son to Novgorod as lord, but was expelled by the locals because of his brutal rule. The Khanate sent troops, and with the cooperation of Alexander, he suppressed Novgorod's resistance and supported his son again.

Throughout his life, Alexander worked diligently for the Khan. Until the end, an uprising against the yurt tax guarantors occurred in various cities of Ross. Alexander rushed to Salai in person to report the betrayal of the Ross people. He advised the Khanate not to be despised and to send heavy troops to suppress it decisively.

After persuading the Khan, the loyal Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky died of illness on his way back to his fiefdom at the age of 43. It can be said that he died on duty, which is not an exaggeration.

Guo Kang had chatted with Tuo Huan and others before, saying that this person would be regarded as a hero and saint by the Slavs in the future. Tuo Huan deeply agreed with this. There are really not many people so loyal these days, and it is indeed unreasonable not to praise them.

Alexander's descendants continued to serve Khan Ting. By the time of his grandson, Yuri, Khan Yue of the Golden Horde would not marry his sister to him, and he also became a "Gu Liegan", which was considered to be on par with Timur at that time.

After Yuri, his younger brother "Money Bag" Ivan ascended the throne. At this time, the people of Tver, the important state of Ross rebelled and killed the Mongolians who arranged for tax holders in the local area. Under the order of Yuejibe Khan, Ivan sent troops to suppress the rebellion and obtained the responsibility of taking over tax holders and levying taxes on various countries. Since then, Moscow has become the tax agent of the Khanate in the various principalities of Ross. Ivan also got the nickname of "Money Bag" because of his excessive tax collection and being greedy.

The sons of "Money Bag" Ivan remained loyal to the country, supervised the anti-Mongolian forces in other city-states, and reported to the Khanate in time. The situation changed only when his grandson Dmitry was his grandson.

The Khanate of the Golden Horde was trapped in a long civil war and its national strength was greatly weakened. The western part of the Khanate was controlled by the warlord Mamai. Dmitry's ambitions expanded and he colluded with the Khanate rebels.

The Principles of Ross gathered more than 50,000 troops to fight Mamai at Currykovo on the Don River. As a result, Mamai's army was defeated, and Dmitry became famous because of this and got the nickname "Donskoy", which means the hero of the Don River.

However, just three years later, the White Horde came here to get lost, trying to restore its rule over the countries of Ross, and use it as a rear and continue the war with Timur.

Although he could not defeat Timur, Tutuo Mishu was also a ruthless man who could command strategic decisive battles on the main battlefields of the Eurasian continent. It was not the ones who could fight against these Slavs. It might have won the local tyrant Mamai, which gave them too high confidence. As a result, the Slavs were defeated again and Moscow was burned by Tutuo Mishu. Dmitry and others fled in a hurry, surrendered to Timur and the Purple Horde, and asked for support.

After Tuotumi's failure, Moscow began to rebuild. They also picked up traditional skills again and began to report the remnants of the golden tent, as well as other Ross people who were hooking up with external forces, and actively led the way in the wars between Purple tent and Poland and Lithuania.

Moscow claimed that they only opposed the powerful corruption and violence of Mamai and the illegal usurper, the throne, and were always loyal to the Khanate itself.

Guo Kang scoffed at this. He told his adoptive father and mother in private that there is no doubt that these Moscows will be the biggest threat to the Khanate in the future. They cannot be deceived by their current behavior, and they must always be prevented.

But the adopted mother told him that everyone actually knew about this kind of thing. Although the Khanate monarchs and ministers were not prophets, they also dealt with rulers from all over the world all year round. Everyone knew very well what these local heroes liked to do.

But the problem is that the Khanate's strength is indeed not enough to manage so far, nor does it have enough military power and officials to maintain the organization. In this case, it is only possible to select agents locally to help rule.

The Ross people are not a country, but a collective name for a large number of states. The long-standing Kiev, the noble Vladimir, the free Novgorod, and the wealthy Galic... all have their own characteristics.

Moscow is an emerging small town, but it actually has no characteristics. Its only advantage is its loyalty.

This is not to say that Moscow has not rebelled, but to compare with other states that rebel every few days, Moscow is completely worthy of the Khanate's trust in them.

As for the issue of the decline of the Khanate, this actually doesn't make much sense.

If Khanting can beat him, he will naturally continue to work. If Khanting can't even beat him, there is no need to worry about him. At that time, there will be stronger and more deadly enemies.

So, even if this is really a prophecy, and it convinced the Khanate that everyone was at best a lot of thoughts and it was impossible to really do anything - even if it was a different person, would it really be more loyal than Moscow?
