    ?

    Ji Xu said that it was a group of Sichuan farmers from his ancestors who saved Europe and changed the history of the world.  This is not a lie. There is indeed such a thing in history, that is, the "Diaoyu City Incident" that occurred in the first year of Kaiqing [1259] in the Southern Song Dynasty.

    The impact of Mengge Khan's defeat in Diaoyu City was enormous.

    First of all, the Mongolian army who attacked Sichuan was forced to withdraw and escort Mengge Khan¡¯s coffin back to the north; he led the Eastern Route Army to break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River and surrounded Kublai Khan in Ezhou.  Returning to the north; from Yunnan to the north of Guangxi, the Wulianghetai army, all the way to victory, has entered the city of Tanzhou [now Changsha].  Under the collusion, they also crossed the Yangtze River to the north.  As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty regime was able to last for 20 years.

    Second, it stopped the Mongolian army's third western expedition [1] and eased the threat of Mongolian forces to Europe, Asia, Africa and other countries.

    After dinner, everyone moved to the living room to drink tea, and Qing Wan followed to make tea for them.

    I thought Jackson was just a businessman. At that time, no matter how rich the family was, as long as they made a living by doing business, they would be looked down upon by others.  Now it seems that Jackson is not a merchant, but an aristocrat in Angland, and doing business is just a side effect of his travels to the East, so Qing Wan has her own little plan in mind.

    Qing Wan asked: "Jackson, is your title also inherited by the eldest son?"

    Jackson said: "Yes! Our inheritance method is completely in accordance with the Eastern practice. If the eldest son dies early, the eldest grandson, the second son, the youngest son or other family members will make up in sequence.  During his lifetime, after being approved by the king and the high court, his close relatives will inherit his title and land, but in most cases, the title will be taken back by the king."

    Qingwan asked again: "What is this high court for?"

    Ji Xu said: "It is our 'Da Zongzheng [2] Mansion'."

    Qing Wan smiled and said, "Did your grandfather's title pass to you?"

    "No," Jackson said, "after my grandfather passed away, the title of viscount passed to my father."

    Qingwan said: "Why did you get promoted!"

    Jackson said: "Our titles are not fixed. If you gain outstanding military service, outstanding political achievements, or are particularly favored by the king, you can also be promoted to a higher title or receive a new title.  , a good opportunity and way to increase or improve the title.¡±

    Qingwan asked: "Your grandfather went to war again?"

    "There are so many battles to fight," Jackson said. "In our place, titles and fiefdoms are very dazzling and pleasant, and are admired by many people in society. Therefore, those who have noble status and family property and their long-term descendants  The heir always gets admirers and suitors easily My aunt married an earl, and my grandfather went up a notch."

    Qingwan asked: "Where is your aunt? Isn't your grandfather always fighting outside?"

    Yougan said: "After the war, don't you allow those who are alive to go home."

    "Oh," Qing Wan said with a smile, "do you still have a brother?"

    Jackson said: "No, there are only three older sisters, all of whom are married."

    "You three older sisters!" Qing Wan said in amazement, "If each of your older sisters married an earl, your father would not be able to become a great king with him!"

    "Our generation pursues love and doesn't care about titles."

    "Oh, chasing love," Qing Wan murmured, "Pursuing love is good! So, have you found your love?"

    "not yet."

    "What kind of girl do you want to find?"

    "Just like you, sister."

    "Hey~, my sister can't do it, my sister is old and not good-looking, but my sister can give you a pretty one like me Hey, what do you belong to?"

    "What is what?"

    Ji Xu told him, "My sister asked you how old you are this year."

    "Oh," Jackson said, "I'm twenty-three this year."

    Qing WanbyeWith more than a hundred ships, they repelled their reinforcements and took advantage of the momentum to pursue them to Chongqing and return.  At that time, the weather was very hot, the plague was prevalent, and the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army was greatly reduced.  Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack the Mongolian camp at night many times, making everyone terrified and restless at night.  On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Mongolian forward Marshal Wang Dechen led his troops to break through the Majunzhai in the outer city by night, and Wang Jian led his troops to resist the battle.  When it was about to dawn, it began to rain, and the Mongolian army's siege ladder was broken again, and they were forced to retreat.  The Mongolian army attacked the city for five months and could not go down. Wang Dechen rode alone to Diaoyu City to persuade him to surrender.  Mengge Khan was furious, and ordered the army to build towers and buildings outside Dongxinmen to spy on the real situation in the city for a decisive battle.  On July 21, Mengge Khan came to the scene to command in person, and Zhong Feishi was injured.  On the 27th, he died in the army.  The Mongolian army then withdrew from the encirclement and returned to the north.

    Later, Diaoyu City lowered the Yuan and put down their weapons on the condition that no one in the city could be killed, and voluntarily terminated the resistance.  In 1279, the guard general Wang Li opened the city, and Diaoyu City fell into the hands of Mongolia.

    (9) Eighth Crusade

    ? In the Eighth Crusade (1270), King Louis IX of France, in order to avenge his defeat in 1250, refused to listen to the dissuasion of the French nobles and close ministers, led the hired knights, and marched into the muslim Hafs dynasty of Tunisia.

    Shortly after the Crusaders landed in Tunisia, the whole army was infected with the plague. A large number of soldiers died along the way, and Louis IX also died of the disease.  Louis IX's son and successor, Philip III, immediately ordered the retreat.

    The Crusaders retreated and ended in failure. Since then, the Pope has repeatedly called for the organization of the Crusades, but they have not been realized.

    In the 13th century, the Crusades were at the end of their battles, and the Western European feudal lords, Italian merchants, and religious knights who stayed in the East were full of internal conflicts.  In the middle of the 13th century, Hulagu of Mongolia established the Ilkhan Dynasty, captured Baghdad in 1258, and killed the last caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty; Syria and Palestine were both threatened.

    Sultan Baibars I of the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt (reigned 1260-1277) defeated the Mongolian army in Ainjarut, south of Damascus, in September 1260, and continued to seize the territory of the Crusaders, and captured Antioch in 1268  gram.  In 1289, the Mamluk dynasty captured Tripoli, an important stronghold of the Crusaders, and in 1291 they captured Acre, the last stronghold of the Crusaders in the East, and more than 60,000 Christians were massacred.  All the Crusader countries in the West Asian continent have now perished.

    There were eight times before and after the Crusades, which lasted nearly 200 years. The territories previously occupied were recovered by Muslims one by one. From North Africa, Asia Minor, to Southeast Europe, they all became the sphere of influence of Muslims.

    [2] Dazong (Zheng) Mansion

    The Dazong Mansion was one of the judicial institutions of the Yuan Dynasty. It tried cases involving Mongolians, Semuren, and clans.

    The central judiciary in the Yuan Dynasty was chaotic: the Ministry of Criminal Justice was set up to replace the Dali Temple in the Song Dynasty, and the Dazong Mansion was set up to hear cases of Mongolian nobles; the Privy Council was set up to handle military court trials;  The Government Yuan also deals with intrauterine cases; the local judiciary is divided into four levels: prefectures, prefectures and counties.

    In other words, the Yuan Dynasty did not set up Dali Temple, but the Dazong Mansion as the central judicial authority; the Ministry of Punishment was the central judicial and administrative authority of the Yuan Dynasty and the highest judicial authority.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
