Although Guo Kang also wanted to pay attention to that side, Tuhuan, who was sober, quickly told him that there was another big news: someone on the Mamluk side wanted to invite them to intervene.
To be honest, Guo Kang didn't think the news was heavy at all.
These Mamluk envoys are definitely not as simple as hiring engineers - or in other words, they want to hire, at least the kind of engineers who are on the battlefield.
This is not the first time this has happened, nor is it surprising.
The Mamluk regime was far different from the imperial court that the Central Plains people understood in many aspects.
Although the Purple Horde Khanate retained some Greek and Mongolian elements due to its reliance on commerce and the need to rule different regions, the core area of the Khanate, "Romania", is now a place with a strong Central Plains style.
The administrative area here can be divided into three levels: province - state capital - farm. However, despite having a name that was familiar to the people of the Central Plains, Zi Zhang had a limited territory when it started, and their provinces were at best counties in ancient times. The so-called prefecture is just a county in the Central Plains. At the lowest level, there are army farms.
The Purple Horde Khanate had a very strong military character, with corresponding military and political institutions at all levels and theoretical local army establishments.
The military organization of the province is called Wei. At first, it was a separate military organization, responsible for various matters from conquests to raising military expenses. It was almost a feudal kingdom and very rough - because at the beginning, the Purple Horde Khanate was just an armed farming organization. Basically, each family was responsible for a piece of it. , I am responsible for one piece, it was put together so hard.
This Wei was directly copied from the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and its history is older than the Zizhang Province itself.
Later, after years of adjustments, the administrative institutions of the Khanate gradually improved, and the provinces gradually became the highest-level local institutions.
When Queen Mother Helena was in power, she had conflicts with the Han princes who controlled the Nanya guards. At this time, the Nanya guards were led by Li Yinglin, who had deposed the Queen Mother Maria and won the "Civil War", which was very popular. Therefore, Queen Mother Helena raised the topic of local administrative restructuring and proposed to improve the provincial system and map the provinces one by one. Guards that are too large should be split and smaller ones made up.
Li Yinglin, Cao Xun and others believed that this was deliberately targeting themselves and that the Greeks wanted to steal the fruits of their victory. But at this time, Guo Gai, the only remaining first-generation veteran minister and veteran of the Khanate, stood up.
Guo Gai believes that the reform and formalization of administrative agencies is a necessary process. Everyone can manage under a more complete system and follow the existing rules. He did not support Li Yinglin and others launching "military remonstrance" again. He believed that now was not the life-or-death situation it was then, and it was not a good thing to use troops to break the rules all day long.
He suggested that Li Yinglin agree. On the other hand, he would also ask the Greek and Serbian nobles to increase the frequency of their visits to Beijing and give up some control of their hereditary estates as a response. Only by taking a step back can we make the Khanate better.
Li Yinglin thought that Guo Gai was exchanging his own interests for concessions from others, and left in anger. However, not long after, the Queen Mother, who convened a meeting of Serbian nobles at the Adrianople Manor, suddenly received a report.
Someone reported that Li Yinglin, Cao Xun, Tang Ao, Wu Zhaoguo and others were preparing to assemble an army to besiege the manor and kill the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother immediately took John VIII the Great Khan southward to Constantinople and ordered the city gates to be closed.
The Queen Mother put Yelu Jian, the left-behind prime minister, in charge of guarding the city, while she hid in the Empress Temple. She did not interfere with the city defense, but used her reputation to attract a large group of citizens armed with weapons to gather outside the temple and on the wall, claiming to defend her. He also ordered the recruitment of Grand Master Guo Gai, Dazong Zhengta Lishi and others, asking them to lead the army to defend the Great Khan.
Li Yinglin was in Tang Ao's camp at the time, drinking with Tang Ao and Wu Zhaoguo. No one can tell exactly what was discussed, whether they were framed or if they really wanted to mutiny.
But at that time, some subordinates did suggest that since the other side had already said so, it would be better to do nothing and abolish the Queen Mother. According to Li Yinglin's temper, it is very likely that he will do so, so now the Li family themselves cannot completely eliminate this theory.
Li Yinglin and others also inquired about the changes in the situation at that time and believed that it was too late now. The defenders in the city had been controlled by the Queen Mother and others, and they rushed to attack the city. There was basically no hope, but the accusations were confirmed. The timing and reason this time were chosen too cleverly, and there was really no way to break the situation.
In desperation, Li Yinglin and Tang Ao abandoned their camp and ran away, crossing the Black Sea by boat and defecting to the country of Alitnabey, their old ally against the Ottomans. Wu Zhaoguo fled westward and fled to Italy under the cover of a caravan.
Cao Xun is probably the most innocent. He was not at the scene at all at that time. According to routine regulations, he was taking the retained non-commissioned officers from the northern guards this year to Adrianople to prepare for routine training. When the incident happened, he and hundreds of non-commissioned officers were still on the ship. Only when they went ashore the next day did they know what had happened.
Everyone was panicked and couldn't figure out what was going on. When I learned that the Queen Mother had run away, I didn't know what to do. Cao Xun's wife was from Russia and came to explain the situation to him and asked him to leave quickly and go back to his father-in-law. Cao Xun had no choice but to return by boat, dismissed the sergeants, and hid with the help of his father-in-law with a few close associates.
Two days later, seeing that the situation was stable, the Queen Mother came out of the temple and took over the command from the confused Yelujian. Eventually, Li Yinglin's territory was split into two and a half provinces, and the status of Tang Ao and Wu Zhaoguo as pillar states was abolished.
The Serbian nobles who came to the meeting were also coerced by the Queen Mother and entered the castle in a daze. Under the pressure of Guo Gai, who arrived later, he was forced to accept the re-division of administrative districts.
Originally, the Cao Xun family was also going to be dealt with, but his wife was very tough. She broke into the palace with an ax and looked for Queen Mother Helena everywhere.
She threatened that she would die if she died, and her father and husband would take revenge on her anyway. But the Queen Mother must give an explanation to convince everyone. Otherwise, come out honestly, maintain the dignity of a noble lady, duel with yourself in front of the cross, and let the Father decide who is righteous.
The Queen Mother was obviously not suitable for this kind of palace fighting, and she did not dare to come out in the end. Guo Gai and others also believed that the matter could not be made more serious and the matter would be settled.
Ten years later, the Queen Mother collapsed due to a political crisis, and Guo Gai also passed away. Under the auspices of former comrade Guo Shuai and others, Li Yinglin and others were welcomed back. However, at this time, the new system was basically stable. The Li family was actually quite satisfied with the new military government plan, and it was hard for him to do anything.
When it was first released, Wild Boar Pen was once ranked second on the Qidian character list, but it fell off the list yesterday.
There are more than 400 people in the circle, but only two are working. It has only been like this for a week, and it has deteriorated extremely quickly...
Please give me more likes, fan posts, and dubbing (this does count, I give you a lot...), you can all give me a lot of points.
You know, if we are lazy here, we will be lazy in the pigsty; if we are all lazy, we will not be able to let the platform customize cards, gifts, or even the homepage to celebrate the character's birthday!
I read the platform rules and you can rename the circle. Therefore, I plan to change the name of "Diandian Circle" to "Zhengda Guangguangdian Circle". What do you think?
