In fact, the words of the adoptive father and stepmother were quite polite.
From beginning to end, Guo Kang never mentioned these things to more people. This is not to say that things about the "future" cannot be said. In fact, he has "spoiled" it to others many times in the name of divination and historical deduction. But the result was never very good.
After all, this world is somewhat different from his original home, so it is natural for there to be deviations. If it were just for this reason, he wouldn't be so helpless.
The biggest obstacle is that many "problems" in the eyes of later generations were not problems at the time, but were the best choices that could be made. He originally thought that by pointing out the hidden dangers that would arise in the future, he could try to avoid them. However, actual attempts have revealed that this may bring greater side effects.
Sometimes, the authorities will indeed ask questions, but more often than not, the people who made the decision may not have thought less than him. In fact, because they are more immersed in the situation and have richer relevant experience, these people will consider it more carefully than he thinks. Others also understand his worries.
For example, is it right for the Khanate to support the city-state of Rus?
Judging from later generations, the Rus eventually destroyed the Golden Horde. But at this moment, the Russians are the most harmless.
At this time, Lithuania was in a period of prosperity. It had repeatedly intervened in the affairs of various Russian countries, and even openly challenged the Khan's court. Not long after Zanibe Khan's death, the Lithuanian army defeated the Golden Horde army at the Blue Water River, occupied Kiev, and expelled the Mongols to the east of the Don River. Until Tokhtamysh was defeated, the first thing that came to mind was Lithuania.
Not supporting these Russians and allowing them to maintain their independence is tantamount to making the Grand Duchy of Lithuania fatter. By then, I am afraid that the Khanate will be completely finished before the 15th century.
To the west of Lithuania, there is Poland, which is more difficult to deal with. The Poles also reached out to southern Russia many times. In 1352, when Zhanibe Khan was still there and the Golden Horde was still in decline, Poland entered what would later become Ukraine, partnered with Lithuania, blatantly carved up the principality of Galich-Volen, and tried to expand its territory to the Black Territory. seaside.
Failure to support the Ross agents would mean that the Khanate would have to rely on its own strength and engage in a long war with these big countries on long borders, surrounded by unfriendly locals. This cost is obviously unbearable.
After all, people of Guo Kang's time would inevitably have stereotypes about these countries - at his time, most people probably didn't know what Lithuania was. Occasionally, those who pay attention to the international situation will often only remember his inexplicable provocations against themselves, thinking that this is a weird little country with the level of a clown.
As for Poland, more people should know about it, but its most famous joke is that it was divided up every three days, making it look like a weak and unlucky guy.
The Russians have become the largest country in the world, and are known as the "Fighting Nation", which makes them appear very powerful.
In this case, supporting the Russians and fighting against Poland and Lithuania does tend to give people a sense of indifference. It seems that it would be better to eliminate this potential opponent early.
However, at this time, Poland was one of the best in the entire Christian world. Lithuania, on the other hand, is the largest country in Eastern Europe. It occupies a vast territory from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea. Its area is so large that it makes people wonder who will become Russia, between it and Moscow.
In this case, it is difficult for him to guarantee that his suggestions are really appropriate.
Not to mention, there are some concepts that people of different generations may not be able to understand each other at all. For example, in this era, if he had to find someone to ask who is the fighting nation, then everyone would think it was him.
Europeans have not had contact with East Asian forces, but the Tianfang Sect world has been dealing with them for a long time.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Umayyad Dynasty was undergoing its second major expansion in the Arab world. This aroused concerns in Central Asian countries, so they all requested the Tang Dynasty to come forward to deal with the Arab invaders. However, the Tang Dynasty was not very interested in this, so it left the job to the Tuqishi tribe that split from the Western Turkic Khanate.
After that, Sulu, the leader of Tuqishi, led his army southward and fought with the Arabs for more than ten years. The Arab Empire lost nearly 200,000 troops, and most of them were veterans brought from Arabia and Syria. Khorasan, the largest province in the empire, was beaten to a bare bar by the Tuqishi people. The Caliphate was forced to mobilize troops from India, the Caucasus and even Asia Minor to fill the bottomless pit in the East.
The serious military defeat forced the suspension of expansion in other directions, damaging the empire's prestige. The rapid depletion of the core army directly shook the rule of the Umayyad Dynasty. Not long after, they were overthrown by the more Persian Abbasid dynasty because they could not suppress the resistance of the Persians.
This result makes the Arabs themselves find it incredible.
You know, at this time, six thousand Arabs can conquer northern India, and more than seven thousand people can defeat the most powerful country in Iberia. In the Western Expedition that was carried out at the same time as the Eastern Expedition, tens of thousands of soldiers fought all the way from Tunisia to southern Gaul, conquering almost all areas along the way. They did not stop until they were defeated by the Frankish Kingdom in Poitiers. Moreover, these people are basically new converts recruited on the spot, and they do not consume much strength from the headquarters. Even thirty years ago, in the decisive battle with the Eastern Roman army commanded by Heraclius at the Yarmouk River, only 25,000 soldiers were invested.
If the more than 100,000 veterans who were given away in vain in the East went to the Western Expedition, then there would probably be no Catholic world in the future.
And Tuqishi was not even a truly powerful country - later, Sulu Khan had a falling out with the Tang Dynasty. As a result, he was killed by the Tang Dynasty without causing much trouble.
From the Arab perspective, this represents a very outrageous reality.
In this world, only the people from the Central Plains care, or are qualified to care, about the difference between "jisu" and "native". In the eyes of other civilizations, this was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, who beat the Arab Empire to the point of doubting his life.
This kind of shock will undoubtedly have an impact on subsequent history.
Later, due to Gao Xianzhi's outrageous operations, the regular army of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by the Abbasid Dynasty in Talas, and their record was not even as good as that of their own vassals. But even so, the Abbasid Dynasty still took the initiative to maintain friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty and had little interest in expanding eastward and proselytizing. Because the lesson from the previous government was very straightforward, that is, "Why bother with them if you have nothing to do?"
