In 1236 AD, all the armies joined forces to march westward and attacked Burial, which was located in the middle reaches of the Volga River. General Subotai conquered Burial.
In 1237 AD, the Mongolian armies attacked Kipchak. Mengge killed his general Bachiman, and the area north of the Caspian Sea was occupied by the Mongolian army.
In this era, the Mongols were wreaking havoc on Russian soil, even more ferociously than at home.
"Are these all Russian treasures? I have seen such a small crown. It seems to be a treasure on display in the Russian National Museum." More than 40 sets of treasures will definitely not be unearthed in a short time.
And every piece of it has extremely precious value, so they have to pay attention to it.
Even Han Peacock, who was used to seeing treasures, couldn't just miss any piece of jewelry, so they talked about the strength of Genghis Khan's army while looking for any piece of jewelry.
The small crown Mu Ling mentioned is made of gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, and spinels. The manufacturing process is very exquisite. Only members of the royal family can wear such crowns.
Of course, there are small crowns and big crowns. The crown I just discovered is the big crown. This big crown is also made of gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, and spinels, but it is more made.
fine.
In addition to the crown, there was also a tiara. It was because of this tiara that Han Peacock and the others were able to determine that this batch of jewelry should come from the Russian court in the twelfth century, because there was a Russian beauty on this tiara.
The headdress engraved with a Russian beauty is absolutely rare. It is made of platinum, diamonds and pearls, and is 60 cm high and 500 cm long.
With this discovery, Han Peacock searched for some information and immediately identified other harvests. After the identification, Han Peacock was a little bit dumbfounded.
Because these women who were buried as martyrs wore a variety of crowns, including large and small crowns, queen's crowns, and even a bishop's ceremonial crown.
So many crowns were concentrated on a group of women by the Mongols and sent here. It has to be said that the Mongols are sometimes very good at playing, and they can actually do such a thing.
For a while, Han Peacock couldn't determine who these crowns belonged to, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were exquisite and luxurious.
For example, this queen's crown is made of gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, and red wall seals. The most outstanding feature of this crown is the large ruby weighing 100 grams.
The archbishop's ceremonial crown must be one of the most representative works of Russian art. It should be the crown worn by bishops and archbishops of the Orthodox Church.
The surface of the ceremonial crown is embedded with images of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and several saints. Such ceremonial crowns are usually given to archbishops by the tsar.
In addition to these easily identifiable jewelry, there are also other accessories, such as angular hairpins, made of gold, silver, and diamonds.
There are also some ornaments that the Korean peacock cannot name. There are many in front of each skeleton. At last count, there are more than four or five hundred pieces. These ornaments include gold, silver, enamel, and 411 diamonds, a total of
Composed of 5949 carats.
Looking at the hairpin in my hand, it is made of silver, gold, sapphire, and diamond. It is 100*170 centimeters. If you don’t look at the black silver, the other parts are still very beautiful.
Of course, there are many beautiful jewelry here, such as a diamond necklace. Because it is made of platinum, gold, and diamonds, it is still dazzling even if it has been buried here for eight hundred years.
There are also breast ornaments, which are designed and made with platinum, gold, diamonds and emeralds. If you wipe off the dirt on them, they will still be shining with golden light.
"This is an amethyst ornament, made of gold, silver, diamonds, and amethyst. This is a tassel, and there is a bow here." Treasures were unearthed one by one, and each time they were unearthed, they could
Let them be full of surprises.
"Look at this, it should be neck jewelry and earrings. They are also made of gold, silver, and diamonds. Look at what this is, it is actually carved enamel." Mu Ling's voice kept ringing. It seemed that she liked these jewelry very much.
"Seeing these things, I know why the Russians are so good at playing with the Mongols now. They are feuding people." At this time, the golden demon said with a smile.
He has seen clearly how the Russians have been playing tricks on Outer Mongolia recently.
Especially in modern times, with the rise of Russia, the Mongols were almost crippled by the Russians. Don't think that the Russians are too much. In fact, they also have historical hatred.
In 1237 AD, Batu led his army to invade Russia on a large scale and captured 14 cities including Ryazan and Moscow. Among them, Moscow was burned three times by them, not to mention the number of people killed, but there were many.
In February 1238 AD, Vladimir was captured every day, and Kiev was captured the following year.
It can be said that the Russians were trampled miserably by the Mongolian cavalry, otherwise the crowns of their emperors, queens, and archbishops would not appear here.
Now, Han Peacock is doubting whether these women buried in sacrifice are really Mongolian noblewomen?
Although this is recorded in history, it is actually very rare for such a thing to happen. It is very likely that these women were plundered noblewomen from an enemy country, and perhaps there were Russian queens or princesses among them.
"Keep going! There must be more treasures ahead." Han Peacock sighed.
The ferocity of the Mongols back then definitely exceeded many people's expectations. If you couldn't see the treasures they plundered from various countries, you wouldn't know whose heads their horses' hoofs had trampled on.
"Boss, there are some boxes here. It seems that your inference is correct. These should have been brought in later." After a while, the golden demon discovered something again.
"These things seem to be European works of art." He opened a copper box, which contained some metal products and gems. Judging from the style, it had a strong European style, so Han Peacock judged that these were not Russian treasures.
“It’s not surprising in Europe. In 1240 AD, the Mongolian army attacked Borel (today’s Poland) and Magyar (today’s Hungary). In April 1241 AD, the Mongolian army captured Krakow, Lignica and other cities.
Plundered Moravia and other places.
Batu's three-pronged army defeated the Magyar army, and his king fled. The Mongolian army attacked the east coast of the Adriatic Sea and various places in southern Europe. No one can tell how many treasures they grabbed back then. Here is a group of real treasures.
It's too normal." Mu Ling said at this time.
"This really makes you think. The things in this box should belong to Hungary. Look at these silk paintings and medals. I have seen them in the Hungarian museum." As he kept digging forward, Han
Peacock also found some bronze chests.
Perhaps copper is not easy to corrode, so the boxes here are all made of copper, some are brass, some are bronze, and some are red copper.
I opened the bronze box, which contained coins, ancient paintings, and some large and valuable gold and silverware.
There are the king's crown, sword and scepter, as well as carvings and embroidery, which are extremely exquisite.
In the ancient paintings, the princes and nobles dressed in gold and jade, and the peasant dinners drinking wine and eating meat are full of Hungarian style.
Han Peacock had seen such ancient paintings before, so he recognized them at a glance, because this kind of ancient paintings was the pride of Hungary.
It can be seen from the content of the painting that Hungary was one of the richest countries in Europe at the beginning, but now the Hungarian people have been reduced to the middle and lower classes.
After looking through other boxes, some boxes also contained coins and medals from various dynasties of ancient Greece, ancient Rome and Hungary. There were many of them, apparently tens of thousands of them.
In addition to these coins and medals, there are also portraits of Hungarian historical figures, small sculptures, oil paintings and prints depicting cities and historical events.
"Fortunately, Wo Kuotai died early, otherwise, they would not have known how many countries they would have harmed!" Mu Ling said as each treasure box was unearthed.
"They will stop robbing after Wo Kuotai is dead?" Jin Yao asked.
"When Wokuotai died, they split up." Mu Ling glared at Jin Yao and said.
"The Four Great Khanates were established after Ogedai's death. After splitting into the Four Great Khanates, they lost part of their strength, but their attacks became more fierce. At that time, they directly attacked what is now Syria, Iran and Iraq.
, was finally blocked by the Euphrates River in Iraq, otherwise the whole of Europe would fall under the iron heel of Mongolia." Han Kongque said.
This can be seen from the treasures in the brass box in front. Most of them are gold objects, because these gold objects have a strong ancient style, whether they are gold swords or Korans.
Holding a sword in one hand and a Koran in the other is an ancient mantra.
It can be seen from this mantra that the Iranians and Iraqis back then were very brave and could be considered fighting nations. However, compared with the Mongolian cavalry, they were just scum.
Han Kongque knew the history of the Mongol Empire very well. At the end of 1241, news of Ogedei's death reached the army, and Batu led his army to withdraw from the Balkans to the Volga River Basin.
Batu led his headquarters to establish the Kipchak Khanate (i.e. the Golden Horde) on the banks of the Volga River with Sarai as its capital.
In 1253 AD, Tulei's son Hulagu led his army on the third expedition. He was the famous Hulagu the Great. He conquered Iran and Iraq and made them cry for father and mother. It can be said that it was a real coercion in Eurasia.
In October, the Mongolian army marched into West Asia. Hulagu led his troops to invade western Iran and reached the Mesopotamia. The target first pointed at the Mulai Kingdom (in today's Iran).
Hulagu led his army carrying a large number of stone crossbows and firearms, passing through Alimali and Samarkand to the Persian Jieshi City. He directly informed the kings of West Asia to coordinate the elimination of Mulai.
In 1256 AD, Hulagu led the Mongolian army to cross the Amu Darya River and arrived in Mulai territory in June.
The Mongolian vanguard generals were too timid to capture many forts in Mulai and dealt a heavy blow.
