Chapter 236: Breach (26)
Winter in Athens is not beautiful, and even the lush summer does not completely cover the city of Athens, which is not short of marble resources, under greenery. At this time, the grass and trees withered, and the stones stood out even more, making the whole view outside the window look quite gray.
The province of Europa caused Jeruhon to withdraw his gaze from the window, and his heart was unhappy. There was little good news about the change in the situation, and the war between the Mongols and the slave dynasty tilted in favor of the slave dynasty. Even if Boyan reminded Mongolia that it could no longer blindly copy his previous strategy, it had to adapt to the situation. But because the Mongolian court was unable to come up with a new plan, it still copied Boyan's ten strategies.
Yeluhong didn't want to mock the Mongols, because he initially felt that even if Boyan's ten strategies were not ten percent powerful, even if they were only six or seven percent, they would be enough to deal with the slave dynasty. The upper echelons of Europa were of the same opinion as Yeluhun, and the Mongols could gain the upper hand again after repairs.
As a result, the Mongols recovered much less quickly than expected, and the slave dynasty was given a precious opportunity to recuperate. Judging from the information obtained so far, although the slave dynasty had achieved a certain advantage before, it suffered heavy casualties in the fierce blows of the Mongol banner army. But now they have regained their power through cooperation with the native True God Cults, Cross Religions, and even the Mongols in the occupied Ilkhanate. The city of Basra has been approached through a series of new battles recently.
Mongolia had suffered huge losses because it had not carried out Boyan's plan before, and now it has fallen into an even more disadvantageous situation because of the implementation of Boyan's plan. In the past, Yeluhong looked down on Boyan a little, but since the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty came to power, the Great Song Dynasty has become increasingly powerful, and Boyan has no ability to save the fate of Mongolia from North China. After that, Boyan seemed to forget about the previous war and fully cooperated with the province of Europa. The skin is thick enough to break through the sky.
Now Yeluhong finally changed his angle and saw a completely different Boyan. This Boyan will choose the most advantageous decision at all times, not the most decent one. These decisions saved Kublai Khan from a devastating blow and brought him to the pinnacle of his life in Baghdad. And Boyan also became the Augustus of the Western Roman Empire through cooperation with the Great Song Dynasty, even if many people in the country now want Boyan's head, but the Great Song Dynasty had to order the province of Europa to cooperate closely with the Western Roman Empire.
Boyan is really remarkable, very remarkable.
There was no talent like Boyan in the Mongolian court, so the situation was getting worse and worse. The Yuan Kingdom simply went to civil war, and the latest news surprised Yeluhong. The army that had defected to Hao Kang before was very disgusted with the Empress Dowager Bao Xiweak, who killed the Taiwei Jiang Guangtou, and was very brave in the battle, and once defeated the army in Kiev. However, Hao Rui, the third prince in Kiev, asked Boyan's envoy to come out to expose the previous secrets, Hao Kang, the eldest prince of the Yuan Kingdom, was not the biological son of Hao Ren, the last lord of the Yuan Kingdom, but the son of the Yuan King Bao Xiwan and her ex-husband, which means that Hao Kang is a Han Chinese.
At this time, the morale of Hao Kang's army fluctuated, and the will to fight was greatly weakened. What he didn't expect was that Wei Jingwang, the prime minister of the Yuan State sitting in Odessa, was recruited by Hao Rui after confirming the news, and Wei Jingwang immediately counterattacked, leading his cronies and Hao Rui's army to attack Hao Kang back and forth. Hao Kang ran out of food and grass, and was finally defeated after half a month of fierce fighting. Wei Jingwang immediately launched a purge of the 'Yuan traitor' in the Yuan State, in order to behave in front of the new master, Wei Jingwang issued a killing order in the south of the Yuan State that he would rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of one, which plunged the Yuan State into a terrorist politics and also inspired the unprecedented hatred of the Song Dynasty in the Yuan State.
The Eastern Roman Empire was the weakest of the three kingdoms, and it was almost plunged into a full-scale civil war just because the Yuan Kingdom stopped exporting grain. Fortunately, this thousand-year-old country still has a bit of cultural heritage, and it has moved out of the political system of a thousand years ago to try to bridge the contradictions.
Compared to these three countries, the Mongols began to grant citizenship through taxation much earlier, and then rebuilt the Senate and the Lok Sabha, and restored the position of tribune. Even the remnants of the Republic of Venice, who had hated the Roman regime before, adopted the method of pulling some and fighting part, and pulled the part of the Venetians who did not want to be subjected to war again into the side of the Western Roman Empire.
With this new group of forces, the Western Roman Empire borrowed hundreds of years of parliamentary experience from the Venetians to reform the Senate and the Lok Sabha. The Western Roman Emperor inherited Octavian's idea of 'first citizen' and transformed the Senate into a 'problem-solving court' like the Great Song Dynasty. The senators themselves were selected from among the officials of the outstanding talents and powerful factions, who directly held the executive power, held positions according to their ability and influence or were dismissed, and from then on came to the fore in a dignified manner, and were no longer the group of guys who hid in the Senate and were isolated from the people in history.
Yeluhon picked up the teacup, but only sighed and put it down again. People like Boyan are so terrible, so terrible that people who know him have to respect him. The more I know about Boyan, the more I have to respect Boyan. If the Zhao official family did not appear in the Great Song Dynasty back then, the result after the surrender of President Lin'an was really terrifying. After his ancestors died for the first time, Yeluhong had to experience the death of the country again in a new country.
The most infuriating thing is that Yeluhong found that he couldn't take the initiative to change the situation and turn the situation into what Yeluhong expected. He could only wait, wait for the situation to turn for him to grasp.
While thinking about it, the secretary sent a telegram. After reading this, Yeluhon was a little dismissive, and Szezon reported to Athens that he wanted to put up a female comprador named Sheila in the office to compete for the position of city councilor of Constantinople. There is also a telegram for such a, Xie Song seems to be very idle. Yeluhong sneered at Xie Song fiercely in his heart. However, Yeluhon also knew that Xie Song was probably his biggest competitor, and Xie Song would definitely not bother Athens to come forward when he was idle for this little thing.
Concentrating, Yeluhon considered the situation in Eastern Rome for a while, and soon understood what Xie Song was embarrassed about. Women did not have the right to vote during the Roman Republic. There were female emperors in the Eastern Roman Empire, and many women participated in brutal court battles. However, there was no institutional path for women in Eastern Rome to legally become politicians or officials, and the evaluation of those famous women was not good, which was very similar to the evaluation of Bao Xi, Daji, and Yang Guifei.
Regardless of whether Sheila, the comprador is capable, if she wants the Eastern Roman Empire to make institutional changes, it is really up to the Athenian side to exert pressure. Yeluhong thought about it and convened a meeting, at which Xie Song's request was told to everyone. A group of officials of the Great Song Dynasty, you look at me, I look at you, no one has spoken for the time being.
The Zhao official family is a rare hero in the whole of China for thousands of years, and no one dares to object to this, let alone the province of Europa. The very fact that the province of Europa was established was far beyond the limits of what the great heroes of the past could do. Of course, these great heroes are different from ordinary people, in addition to the knowledge of the stars, the Zhao official family has done a great thing that has never been done in ancient and modern times, that is, to establish a legal system for women to enter politics.
When this decision was introduced, even half of the loyal ministers loyal to the Zhao official family openly opposed it. Zhao Guanjia adhered to his usual style and made an undisguised explanation. "If women are not given the opportunity to participate in politics legally, those women who participate in politics will naturally have to participate in politics according to different interests, and eventually all the women you meet will be forced to become women who you ridicule as a scourge to the country. You also have daughters, and I don't believe you don't love your children. Politics itself is not something that can be seen forever behind closed doors, since it is destined to be affected, as long as there are people, there will be politics. In that case, why not give your daughter a chance to become an upright official. If they are not given a chance, they will be forced to go the wrong way. ”
It turned out that Zhao Guanjia was right, and when the female officials appeared, the men suddenly realized that they did not understand women at all. Women are better at obedience than men, and they are unhappy with repetitive tasks, but they are able to release stress in their own way, and in many cases are much better than men. What's more, men also found that female officials had a sense of morality and mission that was not weaker than that of men, but they were more likely to be moved, so they sometimes appeared weak. Before coming into contact with female officials who acted decisively, took a clear position, but were mellow in their means, many men thought that the virtue of perseverance was something unique to men.
So after listening to Xie Song's suggestion, some people finally disagreed with the reason that 'this is not in line with Eastern Roman tradition', and other officials who held the same position also said the same thing, because officials really couldn't say that women should not be parliamentarians.
Yeluhong himself has no interest in whether a woman should be a parliamentarian, and he himself has long been too lazy to consider this question, which has already been determined by the Great Song Dynasty. In the Great Song Dynasty, women can still be lieutenant generals, and a certain number of female soldiers will be recruited in the army every year, but no one dares to have the slightest disrespect for these women. Yeluhong's brother married a retired female soldier, and Yeluhong couldn't help but want to stand up and salute when he saw his resolute and resolute sister-in-law who was full of self-reliance.
