"Have all the people from the Chagatai Khanate left?" an old man dressed in Tianfang religion sat on the bed and asked while eating the fruit brought by the maid.
"Yes, Vizier, they have all left." The guard bowed and said. While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the ground, without even looking at the person called Vizier or the maid.
"Where have they been in the past three days?" the old man asked again.
"There are taverns and high-end restaurants all over the city, whether they are Tianfang or Christian, and there are both major religions; as well as the homes of various low-level officials in the city. They have paid about one pood (about the same as now)
16.4 kilograms) of gold to bribe low-level officials and well-informed people in the tavern..." The guard told the man known as the vizier all the news he had followed the Chagatai Khanate's envoys and the information he had learned from the tavern.
.
"Go down," the old man said. The guard immediately bowed and left.
Just after the guards retreated, the old man coughed softly. The wall beside him suddenly moved back, and the movable iron door rubbed against the surrounding masonry, making a "huohuo" sound. After a while, the iron door itself
When it was fully opened, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties came out. If the guard were still here, he would have been able to identify him at a glance. This man was Shadibe Khan, the current Khan of the Golden Horde.
After he walked out of the iron gate, he patted the dust on his body, sat opposite the old man, and complained to him: "Yedigai, every time I come to your place, I have to take a secret passage. It's really inconvenient."
"Why do we seem to be hostile on the surface?" Yedigei said with a smile. This old man was apparently the same Yedigai who was rumored to have a very tense relationship with Shadi.
In the perception of most people in the Golden Horde, the relationship between Shadibeh and Yedigai was very bad, including most of their subordinates; but in fact, after the first two years of running-in, the two of them had a very bad relationship.
After that, the relationship was pretty good.
The reason for this is of course related to the tribal system of the Golden Horde. The tribes directly under the jurisdiction of the Borzhijin family experienced two attacks by Timur during the era of Tokhtamysh Khan, and their strength declined a lot; at the same time, the strength of the tribes in the south
The Nogai tribe rose up and, with the support of Timur, attempted to seize the rule of the Golden Horde.
But Yedi, the leader of the Nogai tribe, understands very well that under the current system of the Golden Horde, even if he controls the nominal supreme power, it does not mean much. On the contrary, it may make the differences within the Golden Horde appear on the surface.
, or even break up completely, which may not be a good thing for the Nogai tribe.
At the same time, Western countries are also rising, and they believe in Christianity. Although Poland and Lithuania believe in Western Christianity, and the Oros believe in Eastern Christianity, to him, they are all the same, and they are all Kafis who should die.
le.
Therefore, although Yedigai and Shadi also had fights, they often cooperated, and it was not a fight to the death. However, many of their subordinates could not understand these things, so the two of them had to secretly discuss matters in private.
"Actually, what the envoy of the Chagatai Khanate said makes sense. Prepare the army in advance. If Timur is really defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the east, it will be just in time to seize the territory of the Timur Khanate. Why don't you let me agree to him?
What?" Shadibie Khan asked after eating an apple.
"Why don't we refuse?" Yedigai said: "As long as Timur wants to go east to attack the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely go, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely fight back. Since we will not send troops before Timur is defeated, we will not
It can’t affect the outcome of the war, so why not refuse?”
"And agreeing is a bad thing. What if Timur finds out, and in order to avoid worries, he will raid our place before marching eastward to attack the Ming Dynasty. The warriors of the tribe can escape, and what will happen to the city of Salai, which has just become a little popular?
"
After listening to Yedigai's explanation this time, Shadibu suddenly realized: It turns out that Yedigai had no intention of taking advantage of Timur's defeat, but was just being cautious.
Instead, Shadibie suddenly thought of something and said: "Actually, even if Timur is really defeated in the future, we will not have much spare power to seize the place of Timur Khanate. Lithuania in the west has been under the rule of King Wladyslaw since
II married King Jadwiga of Poland and formed the Lithuanian-Polish United State. It became increasingly powerful and continued to attack the Black Sea, trying to gain an outlet in the Black Sea."
"Although the Genoese and Venetians who established many colonies along the Black Sea coast did not care whether they were doing business with pagans, the Lithuanians and Poles could provide them with more goods, including many German slaves, so the Lithuanians' attack was
I’m also happy to see it come to fruition.”
"It is no longer easy for our people to hold Ukraine now. Sending troops to fight in the east may cause Belarus or Western Ukraine to be captured by the Lithuanians."
"No, this problem can actually be solved," Yedigai took an orange from the maid's hand, peeled it open and ate a segment, then said, "The Lithuanians are not without other enemies. The Teutonic Knights are in Livonia.
Asia and Prussia, and Hungary in the south also have a bad relationship with the Poles. We can try every means to encourage them to go to war with the Lithuanians. Of course, they may start a fight without us inciting them."
"What we have to do is prepare secretly after learning about Timur's expedition to the Ming Dynasty; once the news of Timur's defeat comes, we will send troops across the Caucasus Mountains to attack Persia. Presumably Kolijak will send troops to attack the river at this time
, the Chagatai Khanate will send troops to attack the Land of Seven Rivers, and the counterattacking Ming Dynasty may also participate. The remaining strength of the Timur Khanate cannot take care of us, and we can seize northwest Persia at a low cost."
Shadibiehan nodded lightly. Although Yedigai's plan was simple, it was very practical. He had no suggestions to make now, so he nodded lightly to express his approval of the plan.
After talking about business, the two chatted again. Shadibie Khan said: "Speaking of which, if the Chagatai Khanate hadn't sent an envoy over, I wouldn't have known that the Tolei Khanate had been driven out of its own country by the Khitans.
, and established the Ming Dynasty."
"Is this normal? If the Castilians hadn't sent people to Salai to form an alliance to deal with the Ottomans, we wouldn't have known about the country of Castile." Yedigai said.
"Forget it, don't talk about this. Don't sweat it, Shadi, you have been staring at me, the new maid, since I saw you just now. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to her?" Yedigei smiled again.
"Now that you can see it, I won't be polite. I just noticed her waist. This small waist must be very interesting in bed." Shadibiehan said.
"Then I'll give it to you and take it with you when you go back later." Yedigai said with a smile.
