Winter is the most comfortable day in Egypt, with an average temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius in January, which is very cool. In such a beautiful season, if there is no toss of Boyan Dashuai's two sons and a daughter, Dashuai feels that life would be better. Even so, Boyan Dashuai still sat on the soft chair with his daughter, who was not a toss, and looked at a copy of the "Gallic Wars" in Latin.

The little girl tried to pull the book in her father's hand, but she couldn't pull it because of her height. She didn't give up, and went to climb her father, hoping to achieve her goal by climbing to a higher position. Just as she was laboriously approaching her goal, she was dragged by the old lady on the back of the back of her neck and held her in her arms.

"Someone delivered a letter." Princess Mary told Boyan.

Boyan snapped the book and took it to the reception room. As a person who still loves books, Boyan Dashuai really can't stand the behavior of the little things tearing books. In the adult world, Boyan's subordinates did not dare to tear up Dashuai's book. The people from the Constantinople liaison station sent a message, and Hao Ren asked Marshal Boyan if he had any plans to continue the expedition to Italy.

Hao Ren knew that the Marshal of Boyan was not a character who could be fooled, so he asked the Marshal bluntly, "...... Recently, it was learned that all the countries of Europa recognized the newly elected Holy See, and the Holy See also issued a holy war order, declaring war on Mongolia. If the marshal goes on an expedition to Italy now, I am afraid that he will face a lot of trouble. So I want to ask the marshal what he is going to do, so I can be prepared for the marshal's plan. ”

After reading it, Boyan put the letter away. He asked, "Has the Song side been transferred to Rhode Island?" ”

The envoy shook his head, "I didn't see such an action, but the Song Kingdom seems to have told the Eastern Roman Empire about Europa's possible eastward crusade again." ”

Boyan didn't speak, he just sighed in his heart that the Eastern Roman Emperor, who was his brother-in-law, was probably very nervous. The previous Crusades had already destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, and after the father-in-law of Marshal Boyan rebuilt the Eastern Roman Empire, the current territory is only about a quarter to a third of the territory before the Crusades. Another crusade to the East, thinking that the Eastern Roman Empire would be completely destroyed.

"Dashuai, we see that the Song Kingdom has sent a lot of people to the Mediterranean, and the total number is nearly 10,000. Aren't these people afraid that they won't be able to retreat back to the Song Kingdom? The messenger asked.

"Of course they're not afraid. Now that the Yuan State is asking for the Song State, even if the waterway is impassable, they can be escorted back to the Song State by the Yuan State. ”

“…… Is the Yuan Kingdom going to collaborate with the enemy? The messenger was puzzled.

Marshal Boyan did not answer such a naïve statement, when will the Mongolian tribes not cooperate with the enemy? At every time there was no way, the Mongols would choose the decision that was most beneficial to them. As a man who has traveled all over the World Island, Boyan thinks that even if the Song Kingdom goes on an expedition to Baghdad, they will not really come and move here. Compared to the wealthy Song Kingdom, it was too barren here. Therefore, the Yuan State has found a good partner to cooperate with, as for whether this object is an enemy of Mongolia, why should the head of the Yuan State care.

After sending the messenger away, the handsome Boyan thought about how to reply to Hao Ren, and then heard his daughter's immature voice. When he turned his head, he saw his daughter holding Princess Maria's hand and coming to find Boyan. Looking at his wife and children, Boyan was determined to give his family a territory that belonged to the Boyan family.

Without the changing Europa, the expedition to Italy would be a ridiculous errand, and Marshal Boyan would not have been able to obtain the territory anyway. Until now, no one in the Mongol court has ever had the idea of fighting Hao Ren, isn't it because the Mongolian frontier occupied by Hao Ren has blocked the enemy from Europa. No one wants to go over there and touch a nail.

Handsome Boyan happily picked up his daughter and played with her. He hoped that he would live long enough in such a happy mood, at least surpassing Kublai Khan's Great Khan.

Yang Congrong, the director of the Department of Eastern Europe, was also taking care of his children, and when he arrived in Eastern Rome, he brought his wife with him like everyone else, and he also added a lot of new people like everyone else. So Yang Congrong finally waited for his wife to finish taking a bath, then handed over the baby to his wife, and he went to meet the Eastern Roman Emperor in private after a little preparation.

After meeting in the garden, Boyan's handsome brother-in-law's attitude towards Da Song became significantly friendlier. Hearing the news that the Crusaders would continue their march again, he could not be friendly. Yang said calmly: "Your Majesty, what do you think of our request for the Eastern Roman Empire to support the Greek translation?" ”

"Do you really want to go to Athens?" The emperor of Eastern Rome asked.

"Yes. We want to go to Athens. But we still have that position, and if the Eastern Romans want to regain Greece on their own, we are still willing to support the Eastern Romans. Yang said calmly and decisively, while carefully examining the expression of the Eastern Roman Emperor.

It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is full of confusion in his expression. For an emperor with only 5,000 direct Praetorian Guards, the current Eastern Roman Emperor is already the most powerful military lord in Eastern Rome. But that's about it. That place in Greece was not easy to conquer, and it was not enough to put in 5,000 Praetorian Guards. The result was probably that the other lords would choose to seize the position of Eastern Roman Emperor.

After thinking for a long time, the Eastern Roman Emperor still said helplessly: "We will help you." But will your country's pledges be fulfilled? ”

"Rest assured, if the Crusaders come, our Great Song fleet will definitely choose to prevent them from crossing the Bosphorus Strait." Yang Congrong also replied very firmly.

Soon, the translator provided by the Eastern Roman side had been assigned to Yang Congrong. The bishop sent by the great pastor here also found Yang Congrong in private. The two sat down in the private reception room, and Yang calmly smiled and asked the archbishop, "How do the African-African blacks who gave it to the bishop last time feel?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the archbishop couldn't help but smile a little wryly. He liked the black slave girl very much, very much. However, as a clergyman, the archbishop also felt a little embarrassed to do this all day.

Yang Congrong didn't feel embarrassed at all, what could impress these upper-class guys was probably fame and fortune, and money and women were the most useful means. If you can give some rare goods, it will be easier for these powerful people to have the capital to show off. The reason why Yang Congrong is not so foolish is because he has gotten rid of low-level interests and concentrates on pursuing his own progress, fame, and family prosperity. Today's Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty is Mingjun, and Yang Congrong is very confident in realizing his ideals. So Yang calmly smiled calmly: "This time we attack Greece, we will definitely be able to catch a Greek woman that the lord is more satisfied with." ”

"That'...... Thank you so much. Could it be twins? The archbishop still couldn't hold back and raised his expectations.

"This one is relatively rare, we have to look for it." Yang Congrong felt that he admired the bishop's taste.

"I have come this time because of the Patriarch's order, and I hope that if you take Greece, you will be able to restore the Orthodox diocese." The archbishop began to get down to business.

"If the diocese is restored, what will happen to the dioceses of the Holy See that have already been opened?" Yang asked calmly and straightforwardly.

The archbishop did not speak, but made a cutting gesture with his hand around his neck. This made Yang Congrong very satisfied. Since the Orthodox Church is so ruthless, then there is no need to care about the betrayal of the Orthodox Church. As long as the Great Song was not driven out of Greece, the Orthodox Church, which solved the local Catholic Orthodox Church by massacre, had to fully support the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Congrong said again: "Then I have another question, that is, what I talked about with Da Mu Shou before. Previously, in order to belittle the orthodox Orthodox Church, the Holy See had belittled things such as bathing as lies to destroy Rome. Now even the Orthodox diocese says so. We hope that you will be able to compete with the Holy See for Roman orthodoxy, especially since it is the Orthodox Church that is the true successor to the Roman tradition, and not the Holy See that is in league with the filthy Germanic barbarians. ”

“…… That's what kind of patriotic health month, right? The archbishop hesitated.

"It can be told about love for religion, true Rome, and hygiene." Yang calmly gave advice. After the Great Song Dynasty carefully investigated the Orthodox Church and Catholicism, the documents given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty contained opinions on helping the Orthodox Church. Because the Orthodox Church says that 'you must first save yourself, and only after you die will you be chosen by Christ for salvation'. According to this doctrine, the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church could not issue indulgences. Just have money, don't cultivate virtue yourself. There's no way to get into heaven.

The doctrine of Catholicism in the Holy See is that as long as you believe in God without brains, listen to the words of the Holy See, and pay money to the Holy See honestly. No matter what kind of murder, arson, rape and looting, you can go to heaven.

Compared with the two, the Great Song Dynasty really had no way to support Catholicism. In particular, Zhao Jiaren, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, really did not know the difference between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism. When he understood, this position could be known without asking.

Yang calmly looked at the embarrassed expression of the Orthodox archbishop, and he said firmly: "Catholicism, they are the lackeys of the barbarians, and the scum who distort the doctrine. We should not assume that they are right because of their temporary military victories, and that it would be blasphemy to do so. Do you believe in victory and sword, or in those teachings. ”

When the archbishop heard this, he cursed in his heart. I still believe in the triumph of faith. But he couldn't say that, so he could only change the subject, "The translators this time are the most proficient in Greek in our church, and they also have some local connections. We are waiting for the Song Navy to be able to win. ”

Soon, Yang calmly took people to sea. Their first stop was Rhode Island, which belonged to the Great Song Dynasty. In Rhodes, the climate is better than in Egypt. At least that's what the Great Song people on Rhode Island think. The people on this island were all trafficked to Egypt, so everyone could build everything on the island exactly according to the model and plan of the Great Song Dynasty. Then the gang found out that they needed slave labor to do such a huge amount of work.

Facing everyone's questions, Yang calmly smiled and said: "Don't worry, to take the Duchy of Athens, there are as many slaves as there are." ”
