In November, Constantinople was covered with clouds, and drizzled drizzles fell from the clouds, sprinkling in the city, on the construction site where the Song Dynasty Embassy in East Rome was temporarily suspended.

The Eastern Roman Empire inherited not only the title of Roman, but also the many inheritances naturally included water pipe construction technology. Hundreds and thousands of miles of water pipe channels were built in the area of ​​Constantinople, and aqueducts spanning river valleys. Hundreds of covered water cellars and open-air water cellars stored a large amount of water. Small water pipelines sent this water to thousands of self-flowing wells, which is the so-called "Roman fountain".

With the friendship of the eunuchs of Eastern Rome, the Song Dynasty mission finally mobilized the new emperor of Eastern Rome and chose the embassy location itself. The new location is relatively close to the suburbs, with an area of ​​about 40,000 square meters. The biggest feature is that it can obtain water from a small spring. This avoids the use of public water sources provided by Constantinople. Of the 40,000 square meters of these 40,000 square meters, more than 15,000 square meters are slope greening areas, with the purpose of ensuring the cleanliness of water sources. Other areas are designed as beautiful gardens with artificial lakes.

From the perspective of the Eastern Romans, the Minister of the Song Dynasty spent a lot of money to acquire these lands. From the perspective of the Song Dynasty, it was a very cost-effective transaction to exchange silk for land. Yang Congqing, the head of the Minister's Group, walked in the light rain in Constantinople with a few main cadres, and watched the scenery in the embassy. The main buildings of the embassy with only frames looked a bit gloomy under the dark sky, but the technicians guaranteed that the quality of cement could be promoted after being soaked in the rain. If the cement quality was not good, it could be discovered in time.

Everyone was walking around the main building and heading to the pavilion in the garden area. Several thatched pavilions were the only completed buildings. Sitting in the thatched pavilion in the open area, as long as they did not shout at the top of their lungs, the people around them did not know what the people in the pavilion were saying.

Click the charcoal furnace in the designed position, and everyone sitting around felt the warmth. Yang Congqing rubbed his hands calmly and sighed comfortably: "Compared with the Mongolians, we are really latecomers. I didn't expect that the Mongolians have always colluded with the Roman Church."

"Let's tell the government this way if it will make the government want to give up here." Others were a little worried.

"The purpose of our trip is to give information to the officials, not to incite them." Yang Congqing's tone meant to advise.

"The Mongols colluded with Europa decades ago. If we can't catch up now, we will be left behind by the Mongols in the future."

"The Cross Cult and the Mongols also have their own ulterior motives. If you write about how the Cross Cult is so timid, you can see the relationship between the two sides more comprehensively." Yang Congrong expressed his opinion. Of course, he knew that the guys under him had a strong desire to intervene in the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, but Yang Congrong did not want to use his own wealth and life as a bet. As a descendant of the Yang family, Yang Congrong did not dare to underestimate Zhao Jiaren at all. If the Zhao official family saw that the delegation actually wanted to play tricks, it would be a worrying end.

"The Mongols held the Hulitai Conference, and I think the Mongols will decide their direction. Wouldn't these people avenge the timids? When the Mongols defeated Mamuliuk, we would hang alone in Constantinople. It would be useless."

"Of course these must be written into the report." Yang Congrong tried his best to calm the emotions of the delegation.

The eunuchs sent by the Song Dynasty, and soon became involved in the relationship with the eunuchs in the Eastern Roman circle. A large amount of information that was not a big deal in the circle of eunuchs was learned by the Song Dynasty. When Hulagu withdraws his troops, he leaves behind a timid Buhua leads more than 10,000 Mongolian troops to continue fighting with Mamuliuk. The Cross Clans, who cooperated with Mongolia, originally wanted to follow the Mongolian army to fight. After the situation changes, they had to fight on their own. Therefore, the Cross Clans refused to go to war.

In the eyes of the Mongolian warrior Chou Buhua, this kind of push and stopping is simply outrageous. Under his straightforward expression, the Mongolian army and the Cross Clan army had a quarrel. Since they had torn their faces, the Cross Clan army quickly colluded with Mamuliuk and betrayed General Clan General Clan and the Mongolian army under his command. On September 3, 1260, in Aingarut near Zelin, the Queering Buhua army was defeated.

According to European records,... Although the soldiers left him, he (Qiu Buhua) continued to fight thousands of enemies, and was captured because of a war horse... his hands were tied behind him, and he was taken to Hudusi, who insulted the conqueror and said, "You have defeated many dynasties, and now you have been arrested!"

The answer of the Mongol of the Nestorian religion is worthy of the epic of Genghis Khan: "If I die in your hands, I think it is God's will, not you. Don't be intoxicated by a moment of victory. When the news of my death was passed to Hulagu Khan, his anger will be like a boiling sea, and the land from Azheer Byzan (Azerbaijan) to the gate of Egypt will be flattened by Mongolian horse hooves!"

The timid Buhua laughed at the Mamluk sultans who rely on opportunities to become kings. Murdering their predecessors was their usual way to seize the throne: "I will be a servant of Hulagu Khan for life, unlike you who are the murderers of the monarch!" Then, he was cut off his head...

That was 23 years ago. In the past 23 years, the Mongolian army has not avenged Qie Wuhua. As for what Kublai Khan will do now, Yang Congrong is not clear. The only thing he knows is that Kublai Khan will not attack Mamuliuk in order to avenge Qie Wuhua. Yang Congrong still has great expectations for his future. If he is regarded as incompetent and unserious by the Zhao Guanjia, this future will naturally be greatly reduced.

In Constantinople, shrouded in misty rain, Boyan looked at the unfinished embassy of the Song Dynasty under the eaves on the second floor of the courtyard. After escaping from the war 23 years ago, the idea of ​​avenging many Mongolian brothers for the timid Buhua has never been extinguished in Boyan's heart. It is precisely because of this that Boyan tried so hard to suggest Kublai Khan moved the capital to Baghdad. With his understanding of Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Khan would not accept Mamuliuk to continue to exist.

Because the construction was not completed, the Song Dynasty's embassy in Eastern Rome was just a mixture of unfinished brick walls and trees. Marshal Boyan did not know what the embassy in the Song Dynasty would look like in the future, just as he did not know what kind of response to the Song Dynasty would be in the war that would break out soon.

At this time, a warm hand covered the back of Marshal Boyan's hand, and Princess Maria asked melancholy: "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes." Beyan held Princess Maria's palm with his backhand. In these days, Boyan had talked with the new emperor of Eastern Rome. The young emperor did have plans to regain the old land of Eastern Rome. In the ideal of this young emperor, he hoped to regain Anatolia eastward, that is, Asia Minor occupied by the Turks Seljuk. To the west, he hoped to regain Greece, Thrace and other places. To the southward, the young emperor did not show any ambitions. Although in history, Syria was once the core territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. The young emperor of Eastern Rome said that if Mongolia was willing to help the young emperor of Eastern Rome, Eastern Rome would do its best to support the Mongols in captivating Egypt.

Boyan did not think that destroying Eastern Rome would have any benefits to Mongolia. At least at this stage, helping Eastern Rome would have more benefits than disadvantages. Kublai Khan's biggest enemy at the moment is the True God Cult. Gently touching Princess Maria's hand, Boyan said, "I will capture Jerusalem soon."

Princess Maria said softly: "If you want to be quick, I will be gossiped if I will not marry again or go to the monastery."

Marshal Boyan left Constantinople early the next morning. At the same time, the Song Dynasty envoy also handed over the latest report to the fleet, and the fleet headed to the mouth of the Nile River. The former Khanate of the Il Khanate, Tigudier, mingled among the passengers and boarded the ship to Egypt ruled by Mamuluk. Seeing these eastern holes on the ship, Tigudier admired the boldness of the civil servant Isfair of Mamuluk. However, this method has its merits. No one would have thought that Tigudier, who had a grudge against Kublai Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom, would actually take the ship of his mortal enemy Song people.

With a nervous mood, he stayed in the cabin honestly and obediently. The fleet arrived at the mouth of the Nile River three days later. When he got off the boat, he saw merchants taking large and small bags of cargo off the boat. Tigudier asked the people sent to him to contact the local Mamuliuk government, and he was waiting at the port with others. After seeing that the Song Dynasty fleet unloaded the personnel's cargo, many people who were already waiting immediately started to board the boat with large and small bags of goods, as if they had been waiting. This made Tigudier very puzzled.

Before these people got on the boat, the contact personnel brought local officials over. When they went to the government together, Tigu Dier couldn't help asking, and the local officials explained a little. The fleet of the Song Dynasty did not switch the pirates and sailors based on the strength of the passengers like other people who were eating at sea. Although the business hours were only a few years, this fleet with strong combat capabilities was also credited among the merchants.

According to the meaning of the Mamulik official, the fleet of the Song Dynasty made a lot of money in the Mediterranean. This surprised Tigu Dier even more. The officials of the Mamulik dynasty did not seem to have the intention of scraping oil from the Song Dynasty fleet. After staying in the upper floor for so long, did the Mamulik official gain benefits from the Song Dynasty fleet? That was something you could feel at first.

Holding it in and not talking nonsense, Tigudier honestly followed the officials of the Mamulik Dynasty to continue walking. They found Egyptian ships on the other side of the port. The Song Dynasty fleet only traveled to sea, from the mouth of the Nile River to Cairo, with a local unique fleet. It can be seen that the Song Dynasty fleet did not intervene in this aspect of shipping.
