Regarding Guo Kang's evaluation, Tuohuan is not surprising.
"You also know the level of everyone here." He spread his hands and said: "There are so many people, but none of them are... uh, literary and virtuous ministers. It has taken a lot of effort for us to be able to write these."
"We can only do so much on our own now. Don't worry, you won't have to do everything." He added: "I even called a few helpers."
Seeing that Tuo Huan was already lying down, Guo Kang could only nod his head to show his understanding.
He turned back again and glanced at the only line of words.
Judging from the wording above, Tuo Huan and others have indeed considered it.
The name of Great Qin Dynasty Roman Ulusi is a formal title that has only been used in recent years. Guo Kang felt that it should be an imitation of the name of the Yuan Dynasty.
The word "Ulusi" is a noun characteristic of the grassland. Roughly speaking, it has the dual meaning of tribes and land.
The grasslands are vast and sparsely populated, and people move around frequently, so simply looking at "territory" doesn't make much sense. An Uluth can be simply understood as a group of tribesmen and the grasslands they occupy, which constitutes a feudal unit.
When the Mongolian regime was first established, its name was "Yeke Mongol Uluth". Directly translated, it is actually very... crude. It means "a very large Mongolian territory".
Later, Kublai Khan claimed to be emperor and took "Dayuan" as his country's title. In documents sent to other khanates, the full name of the Yuan Dynasty was written as "Great Yuan Great Mongol Uluth". In the official statement of the Yuan Dynasty, the Great Yuan is Mongolia and Mongolia is the Great Yuan. The two have the same meaning. In some documents, it is simply written as "the great Mongol Uluth known as the 'Dayuan'".
As for why they all have the same meaning and are put in... probably because important things need to be repeated.
Of course, the above are all the Yuan Dynasty’s own opinions. It is hard to say whether the other khanates regard the Yuan regime as Mongolia. It depends on the specific time and circumstances.
For the current Purple Horde Khanate, this writing method can be borrowed. "Da Qin" is the ancient Central Plains people's name for Rome, and "Rome" is the local language, but it expresses the same meaning. When these two are stacked together, they are "the Roman state known as 'Great Qin'", which should be easier to understand and more formal.
Bai Saihan is easier to understand. The official title of the emperor of the Purple Horde Khanate is a Greek title, called "Basileus". As early as when the Purple Tent was still operating in Bulgaria and was still an ordinary force, everyone knew this name. In order to save trouble, it is usually called "Pai Saihan" in colloquial language. As time went by, it became a common practice and became the Roman emperor's exclusive sweat number.
The second half of the sentence is a name for the Ming Dynasty.
There are actually many names for the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of names in the various Mongolian khanates alone. The most popular one is to directly use the country's name and call it "Daming Uluse". Or, add the prefix indicating the ethnic group and call it "Khitan Ming Dynasty".
In the correspondence between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal and the Jisu Guards, it was often called "Dotoradu-Ulusi" or "Dotoradu-Hezha". Literally translated, it means "inland".
In external documents, the Ming Dynasty official’s favorite translation was “Dunta Ulusi”, which means “Central Kingdom”. This is an officially designated name and is the most formal Mongolian name. Using this name will indeed make people in the Ming Dynasty happier.
As for the last "Zhu Tianping Hehan", he is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Guo Kang himself heard what others said, and was surprised to find that in this world, Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, did not die of illness early, but ascended the throne normally, with the reign name "Tianping".
Guo Kang realized at that time that the changes in the world might not be as simple as his adoptive father's "internal power".
"Hehan" is the honorific title above Khan. If the ordinary Khan was the king, Hehan would be the emperor. In the Yuan Dynasty, this word was directly translated as emperor. The title "Zhu Tianping Hehan" is also a customary usage.
In short, the good news at the moment is that in this short sentence, Tuo Huan and others have basically considered the words that require special attention and that both parties care about, and it has obviously been carefully verified and scrutinized.
The bad news is that the Tuhuan team has been thinking about it until now and has just come up with this sentence...
Of course, there is really no way around this. As Tuo Huan himself said, his men were indeed not the same material.
In order to maintain balance and win over nobles from all over the country, almost all of his attendants and ministers were Bulgarians and Serbs.
The reason is actually because the Greek women in the court were too strong.
In order to gain more support, marrying locals is a common option. Since the Purple Tent went south, almost all the direct wives of the great Khans of the past dynasties were Greeks, with the only exception being Basil Yerigo Borginus, the great-grandfather of the Purple Tent.
Daughters from the powerful Eastern Roman families have controlled the inner court for generations. The scope of the Khan's rule is not small, but the princesses and ladies from Bulgaria, Serbia and Rus are no match for these scheming old Greek ladies. Even the Great Khan and the Zhuguo people were often tortured.
The early Khanate still practiced polygamy, and the signs of this were already very obvious. Later, as the Khanate became more and more Roman and monogamy became the mainstream, the advantage of Greek noblewomen was irreversible.
The Khanate needed the support of the Greeks, but it could not allow these people to completely control the court. Therefore, in response, the great khans of all dynasties had to train their heirs from an early age so that they could get familiar with talents from other ethnic groups as early as possible, so as to avoid being betrayed by their mothers. Manipulation with uncle's family. Among them, including early marriage with Guo Kang and others, as well as the selection of these Serbian followers.
However, these people can fight well, but it is too difficult for them to deal with diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty...
The problem is that the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is very important to the Khan's court. Sooner or later, they have to take on this job, there is no way to avoid it.
Commerce was vital to the Khanate.
The reason why Constantinople is rich is because it is stuck at the mouth of the Black Sea, and materials coming from all directions have to be transited and gathered here. Once the trade route is monopolized and diverted by others, it will soon suffer huge losses, and even become a bottomless pit that can only be entered and cannot be exited, which in turn will swallow up the empire's economy.
The Golden Horde had a positive example back then.
During the reign of Yue Jibie Khan, the Khanate was extremely powerful. From the Yuan Dynasty to Bulgaria, it was the territory of the Great Khan. The Khan's court invested heavily in building and maintaining roads and inns, and deployed heavy troops along the way.
The caravan does not even need to carry food, fodder or hire a guide, because as long as you give money, the inns and settlements along the way will provide all the needed supplies. There is no need to worry about robbery, because all the tribes along the way have been beaten into submission by the Great Khan.
This makes trade extremely smooth. Starting from Yuandadu, including the time for loading and unloading goods and water and land transfers along the way, it only takes 270 days to reach Europe.
And these investments have also brought huge returns.
This grassland passage maintained by the Golden Horde once replaced the ancient Silk Road through Central Asia and Persia because it was closer and more convenient. Goods from the East flowed continuously into Belgosarai, the capital of the Khanate, and then to various parts of Europe and West Asia.
These goods brought previously unimaginable wealth to the Khanate. Arab travelers recorded that the prosperity of this city on the steppe had surpassed that of Persia and other cities in Mesopotamia. Together with the entire Ross region, it has entered an unprecedented era of prosperity - and it will probably not happen again for a long time after this.
Among these commodities, silk was the earliest famous. But if you look at the transaction volume, the largest ones should be porcelain and ironware. Especially in maritime trade, ironware accounts for the largest proportion of weight.
Regardless of whether it is at sea or on land, the main type of ironware exported is large iron pots. The so-called Maritime Silk Road can actually be called the Iron Pot Road.
It can be said that the iron pot is the lifeblood of the Khanate.
This can be seen from many places. For example, the last Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty was named Tuohuan Tiemu'er, which means "iron pot".
The emperor even called it an iron pot, which shows how important this thing is.
Even Tuohuan himself, the name actually means "pot".
