It had been half a month since the document was sent out. Xie Song, who was as horny as a thorn, found that the Yuan Kingdom did not respond immediately. This made Xie Song very happy. He only expected that the Yuan Kingdom would not agree to this matter and then peace would be achieved. Within three days of happiness, he received news from Athens. The court ordered Yang Congrong and others to end their term in the Europa Province to return to the Song Dynasty. Looking at the report, Xie Song gave birth to the suspicion that the court would hold Yang Congrong accountable.

The telegram asked Xie Song to rush to Athens as soon as possible to attend the upper-level meeting of the Europa Province convened by Yang Congrong. Xie Song explained the matter a little and rushed back to Athens by boat. The meeting was held on the same day when he returned to Athens. Before entering the venue, Xie Song thought he would meet Yang Congrong, who was frowning or forced to smile. At the beginning of the meeting, Yang Congrong, the governor who made great contributions to the Eastern Mediterranean, looked calm when he started speaking, and looked no different from usual, which made Xie Song feel that Yang Congrong was amazing.

"Brothers, when I first came to the Europa Province, I was still a young boy. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. I guess some people may be worried about whether the court wants to deal with me, but I am not worried about this. The officials repeatedly said that if the country is clear and clear, it is not a crime to die. Everything must be fair and open. So I am not worried at all. For me, it is great to be able to return to China!"

No one spoke, and Xie Song, who was already full of suspicion, didn't know what he was going to say. Yang Congrong had already mentioned the issues that everyone was worried about. If he said anything at this time, he could only mention how to fight against the court.

"For me, it's great to go back to China early. I've been out for more than ten years. Even if I can't say I've left home and returned home, my accent has not changed." After saying that, Yang Congqing raised his hand and tapped his temples, where there was already a lot of white hair.

Some people want to smile politely, so is Xie Song. Just as she was about to laugh, Xie Song felt his nose sore and tears were almost flowing out. Hearing his hometown, he would have an uncontrollable emotion. Even if he saw others being able to return to his hometown, it would be enough to make Xie Song feel uncomfortable.

"I'm going to be honest with you. I was willing to go to Europa thousands of miles away, and I asked for additional opportunities for promotion. I didn't expect to become the current governor of real power. Things that I can't do in China are here no matter what, and I have no regrets. When I parted, I want to say something to you. My hometown is in the Song Dynasty, not in the Europa. My Song Dynasty court is clear and the system is stable. Everyone is loyal to the country overseas to be the foundation of waiting for a lifetime, glory and wealth. The country has not treated us unfairly. I hope that all brothers can fulfill their loyalty and integrity and self-support. We have helped overseas for a long time and have a deep friendship. I will leave this time and return to China. When you return, I will definitely ask my brothers to drink the wine in my hometown! Thank you everyone!"

Xie Song was excited and applauded hard. Like him, he was moved by Yang Congrong's words.

This time, the personnel transfers were mostly in the middle and lower levels. The Jiedushi was replaced by Yang Congrong's deputy, rather than sent by the court. This made everyone feel much more at ease. The biggest change was to improve the school system in the Europa Province, and the seniors of the school were sent by the court. Yang Congrong made a boat after arranging official duties. He thought that he could finally return to his hometown, and he felt happy and uneasy. He had been away from his hometown for too long, and when he remembered his hometown, buildings in the Europa area often appeared in his mind.

The ships were safe all the way, crossing the canal and traveling along the Tianzhu Ocean Sea. They landed at the isthmus on the Siam side. At this time, there was a very good road on the isthmus. In less than a day, they arrived from the Tianzhu Ocean side to the Pacific Ocean side. This distance alone saved a few days, and then headed north all the way to Songjiang Prefecture.

The passengers stayed at the epidemic prevention station for three days. Yang Congrong, who had ended the quarantine period, was directly led out of a side door. He saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door, most of whom were capable soldiers. Among them, they knew only an old classmate who was the director of the Ministry of Personnel. The old classmate introduced to Xie Song, "This is Jiang Ding'an, deputy minister of the Lifan Department. This is the crown prince Zhao Qian."

Yang Congrong only felt his head buzzing. When he saw so many soldiers, he was a little confused. Could it be that these people were here to arrest him? When he heard that the prince actually came to Songjiang Mansion to greet him, he felt that his old classmate was joking with him. The Song Dynasty had moved the capital back to Kaifeng, and the capital was no longer Hangzhou. Even in Hangzhou, it was far from Hangzhou to Songjiang Mansion, so the prince would not come to greet him in person.

Just when he was at a loss, he saw the tall and handsome 30-year-old middle-aged man who was called the prince stepped forward and stretched out his hand. Yang Congyun reached out and held his hand in a daze, and felt that the other party's palm was very strong, which made Yang Congyun's mind clear. He hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Prince."

"Director Yang, I have long admired your reputation." Zhao Qian replied with a smile.

"I wonder why the prince is here?" Yang Cong-chan asked calmly.

"The Yang Jiedushi who can open up boundaries and open up land thousands of miles away is indeed refreshing." Zhao Qian praised.

Yang Congrong didn't expect that he would get such a high evaluation, and he was completely confused. He couldn't help but look at his old classmate, and saw him give him a thumbs up and express his appreciation. Now Yang Congrong was a little relieved, and suddenly remembered that the old classmate said that the prince had spoken for Yang Congrong.

I still didn't know what I was going to do, so I felt that Zhao Qian let go of his palms, turned back to look at Zhao Qian, and heard Zhao Qian say, "The court has something to ask about Yang Jiedu. If the matter is urgent, I will come first with Deputy Minister Jiang of the Lifan Department. Yang Jiedu will set off with us now, but there is no way for you to go home to visit your family first."

"Abide by the order." Yang Cong-chan replied calmly and readily. After saying that, he remembered something and quickly said, "Prince, I have stepped down and no longer become the governor of the foreign land. And in the Song Dynasty, it is better not to use this title."

Zhao Qian replied: "Why should the governor Yang be too Qian? It was the name of the governor who ruined the military commander's name. Just call him whatever he should. Let's go, let's go to catch the boat now."

Yang Congrong sighed in his heart and could only follow Zhao Qian and the others. As Zhao Qian said, the Jieduan was originally a good title. In the early Tang Dynasty, the general manager was appointed as the commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. He was renamed the general manager in important areas, and then changed it to the governor. However, Shuofang was still called the general manager, and the border prefectures were appointed as the governor, and there were other military and political envoys to be appointed as the military envoy. The local military and political chief established in the Tang Dynasty. When he was appointed, the court gave him a tribute. Jiedu was a kind of seal letter at that time. Those who received this full-power seal letter could be fully dispatched, so he was called the Jieduan.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial governors from all walks of life were respectful, and the court was full of vassal states, and the court was over. After the military governors were linked to the vassal states, their reputation became very bad. In the Song Dynasty, they hated the vassal states and the court tried their best to weaken the military leaders. Later, the military governor became an honorary title. To put it bluntly, only those who passed away were qualified to be the title of vassal states.

Yang Congrong knew these stories, so he was a little uneasy about the positioning of the title of the Supreme Chief of the Europa Province as the governor. He even suspected that the name of the official family might be secretly warning the officials of the Europa Province who were alone overseas to not inflate themselves. Now back in the Song Dynasty, Yang Congrong could only listen to the prince. He no longer said the title and followed him honestly.

When everyone got on the boat, Yang Congrong saw that there was no one else on the boat, he judged that something big must have happened. He specially sent a boat to come over and the prince was in charge. Could it be that someone said that Yang Congrong rebelled, so the prince came to save him?

Several people sat down in the empty restaurant and conference hall. Zhao Qian said to Jiang Ding'an: "Minister Jiang, say it."

Jiang Ding'an immediately opened his notebook and asked, "Director Yang, how much do you know about the slave dynasty in northern India?"

The so-called slave dynasty is easy to remember the Mamluk slave dynasty. It is said that Mamluk was the title of slave mercenary, and has always served various forces from Egypt to Syria and has betrayed countless masters. Later, the slave soldiers turned over as masters, and were still in the name of Mamluk. It is said that the general of Hulagu, the Khan of the Il Khanate, fought with Mamluk in a battle with Mamluk. He was betrayed by the Crusaders and was defeated. Mamluk wanted to surrender, and Buhua cursed: "I will be a servant of Hulagu Khan for life, unlike you who are the murderers of the monarch!" General Mamluk, who was so ridiculed, was furious and directly cut off the head of Hulagu Khan.

"The slave dynasty... isn't the Mamluk slave dynasty?" Yang asked calmly.

"No. It's the one in northern India."

"Well, as far as I know, the slave dynasty in the northern part of India has been fighting with Mongolia." Yang Congrong said while thinking. This slave dynasty also has a different name, called the Sultanate of Delhi. Since it is a Sultanate, its system is similar to the True God Cult. The army of this country is also the so-called "slave soldiers", so it is called the Sultanate of the Northern part of India.

After saying the news he knew in less than ten sentences, Yang Congqing fell silent. The slave dynasty was east of the Mongol Empire, and there was an Il Khanate between Baghdad. In the eyes of the Europa Province, Baghdad was already a faraway place, and the slave dynasty was not considered by the Europa Province at all.

The closest distance between the Song Dynasty and the slave dynasty should be the Lifan tribe who conquered cities and territories in the southern and central parts of the Indian Peninsula. Since the Lifan tribe said this, it seems that something is a big deal.

After asking Yang Congrong a few prepared questions, Jiang Ding'an, deputy minister of the Lifan Department, closed the notebook, "Mr. Yang, let me introduce the situation first. As far as we know, the slave dynasty is collecting troops. It is not clear who they are planning to fight with, but based on the information we have obtained, the slave dynasty mobilized more than 200,000 cavalry and 3,000 war elephants this time. If a war really breaks out, the situation in Tianzhuyang will change drastically. That is why we will let the Jiedushi return home early and participate in the discussion of this matter."

"Twenty-hundred thousand cavalry and three thousand war elephants..." Yang Congqing repeated for a while, but found that he didn't believe this number. He subconsciously frowned and asked, "If the slave dynasty was defeated, wouldn't it be that the country would be destroyed?"

Jiang Dingan looked at Zhao Qian and saw that Zhao Qian was full of praise. People who do not understand politics and military will definitely think it is very powerful when they hear this number. Those who understand politics and military understand that mobilizing such a number of troops requires strong organizational strength and logistical support capabilities. After this battle, even if they win a big victory, they will exhaust national strength. If they fail, they will face the crisis of national destruction.

Turning back, Jiang Ding'an said: "We don't know who they are going to fight with now. If they fight with our Song Dynasty, they will definitely destroy the country. If they are going to fight with Mongolia, then they will not know the result. I invite you to come this time to ask Duke Yang to provide information about Mongolia. The one we know most about Mongolia in the Song Dynasty is the Europa Province."

Yang Congrong nodded. He finally made sure that the court did not deal with him, nor did he deliberately despise him. Yang Congrong thought about it and took out his notebook. He wrote a brief outline first, and then began to introduce the situation of the Mongolian Empire. "Now Mongolia's finances are very bad and cannot collect taxes. The Mongolian military system is a tribal system, and after arriving in Baghdad, it was soon similar to the local tribe."

"How could the Arabian Peninsula become a tribal system?" Zhao Qian was always puzzled by this.

"Because the land is salinized too much." Yang Congyun replied.

After hearing this, Zhao Qian felt that the dark clouds were blown away by this sentence and saw the clear sky. After working in the agricultural department and the water conservancy department for so long, Zhao Qian felt that this sentence was better than a thousand words.

At this time, on the road close to Damascus, Hao Kang and Tuotuo rode on the horse along the muddy road. Both of them were wearing only thin clothes and wet clothes on the bracket behind the horse.

Tuotuo said in a breath: "Brother Hao Kang, this ghost place means it rains as soon as it rains."

Hao Kang was not angry. He lived in Hangzhou when he was studying in the Song Dynasty. During the plum rain season, it was only 20 days. This sudden heavy rain was not bad at all. The east roared and the west roared, and it was said that there was no sunny but there was sunny. Back then, he and I stood under the eaves of the shops on the street and sheltered from the rain... Even the rainbow in the sky looked the same.

Tuotuo, like a Mongolian nobleman, had never experienced his student days, so naturally he could not understand what Hao Kang was thinking. Looking at Hao Kang's appearance, Tuotuo asked: "Brother Hao Kang, are you worried that the singing girl will come to Damascus on time, right?"

After hearing this, Hao Kang laughed and was speechless at this elder brother Tutuo. He was itchy to watch the singing girl perform. He learned that the singing girl group refused to go to Baghdad, so he was willing to spend a few days to go to Damascus. Such determination was really touching.

"What are you laughing at?" Tuotuo asked.

"It's nothing. You are too far from what I think of and what I said, so I laughed."

"what's on your mind?"

Of course, Hao Kang would not say that he was missing classmate Mu, nor could he say nothing, so he pointed to the barren land around him, "I heard that thousands of years ago there were fertile soil here, and there was no edge at all."

Tuotuo looked around and saw large green patches on the ground, but they could not even be evenly covered. Moreover, the green plants were all wild grass and shrubs with strong vitality. It was impossible to see that there could be endless fertile fields in this place. He asked suspiciously: "Brother Hao Kang, don't lie to me."
