Chapter 1256 Postscript 112: Ask the Ming Dynasty to help us build a navy for Hungary

Anna followed her brother into the hall and passed by five noble ladies from the Cumans.

She was under great competitive pressure.

These Cumans were plunderers by nature. They had been robbing wealth and beauties for hundreds of years, and the genes of the East and the West were mixed from generation to generation.

Those who were not adapted to the environment had long been eliminated, and the genetic "hybrid decline" could be ignored. Especially among the Cuman nobles, there were many handsome men and beautiful women.

Women from the five largest Cuman tribes were carefully selected to be presented to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could they not be beautiful?

Princess Anna was brought into the hall and saw a mother and son sitting in front of her from a distance.

This room is so big!

Princess Anna felt that she had become small, as humble as a country woman. And the mother and son in front of her, although they were too far away to see their appearance, still looked so noble.

The brother and sister came forward to pay their respects.

They were given a seat about ten meters away from Queen Mother Ye.

"You claim to be descendants of the Huns?" asked Queen Mother Ye.

Prince Laszlo said: "Decades ago, an Eastern Roman scholar read documents from the Ming Dynasty. This scholar was sure that we were descendants of the Huns in the far east."

The Byzantine Empire still likes to study history. The earliest record of Hungarians comes from the Byzantine history books in the 9th century.

The Ministry of Rites had already done enough homework. Before the envoys of the Three Kingdoms arrived in Gaochang, Luoyang had received a telegram that there were scholars reading historical materials to study Hungary.

Queen Mother Ye had already communicated with the Ministry of Rites and said at this moment: "When China was in the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic Khan divided ten arrows into ten tribes. He also established a Yazhang in Shuanghe, Anxi Province of today's Ming Dynasty, to lead the ten Turkic surnames. You Magyars are actually descendants of the ten Turkic surnames."

Laszlo was stunned.

This is a beautiful legend based on history and epics.

The tribes from Xinjiang to Hungary, as well as the Seljuks a hundred years ago and the Turkic nobles of the Mamluk Dynasty at this time. In their legends, they are all descendants of the Ten-Surname Turks.

The real history is that Su Dingfang killed the Western Turks. Most of the Ten-Surname Turks stayed and submitted to the Tang Dynasty, but some fled to the west.

These Turks who escaped conquered various places and assimilated local nomadic peoples. So the legends about the Ten-Arrow Alliance and the Ten-Surname Turks spread among the nomadic peoples.

It even spread to the Eastern and Central European steppes!

The name of the Kingdom of Hungary is the Turkic pronunciation of the Ten-Arrow Alliance, bridged with the Magyar language.

The Magyars who established the Kingdom of Hungary believed that the Ten-Arrow Alliance was very noble, and they attached themselves to the dragon and the phoenix to form ten tribes, and then called themselves the Ten-Arrow Alliance. That is, the Ten-Surname Turks.

Because the Karakhanid Khanate established by the Uighurs in Central Asia was once very powerful, the Uighurs also became equal to the Turks. So in some places, the Ten Arrows Alliance and the Ten Surnames of the Turks are also called "Ten Arrows and Ten Uighurs".

Hungary actively embraced Europe, successively married with the Holy Roman Empire and France, and took the initiative to introduce French literature. They have forgotten the patronage of their ancestors before the founding of the country, and they no longer know where they came from.

Their language is also very messy. They first absorbed the Turkic language, then the Eastern Roman language, and then the Slavic language. They also introduced a bunch of French and German words.

Until now, they don't even know the true meaning of the "Ten Arrows Alliance".

Their country name comes from this, which represents the most noble Turkic royal family legend in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and West Asia!

An official of the Honglu Temple, holding the text excerpted from the "New Book of Tang" and the research results of Ming scholars on the westward-migrating Turks over the past decades, walked to Prince Laszlo and handed it to him.

In another time and space, the same research results will have to wait another hundred years, from the Persian historical masterpiece "History of the World".

The historians of the Ming Dynasty were not idlers. They had already studied the history of the Turks thoroughly.

"Read it to him." Empress Dowager Ye said.

The official of the Honglu Temple first read the New Book of Tang, explaining the origin of the Ten Surnames Turks. Then he briefly described the heritage of the Turks in Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Finally, the official of the Honglu Temple said: "The founder of your country should be the Ten Surnames Turks who moved further west. Half of your country's name comes from the pronunciation of the Ten Surnames Turks."

Prince Laszlo was stunned.

Empress Dowager Ye smiled and said: "Han people and Turks are all from the Huaxia ethnic group. We are originally one family. It's just that you have been away from home for too long and have forgotten your ancestors."

Indeed, you have forgotten, but you have forgotten how your ancestors attached themselves to the dragon and the phoenix.

Laszlo stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you Daming for telling me these things."

Queen Dowager Ye said, "I will have someone translate these into Turkish. You can take them back to your country and ask the nearby Turks. Their tribal legends can verify them."

Laszlo thanked her again.

Princess Anna was not interested in these things and kept peeking at the little emperor ten meters away.

Prince Laszlo took the opportunity to say, "Since our country and Daming have the same ancestors, then marriage between the two countries is a better choice."

"Do you know the marriage system of Daming?" Queen Dowager Ye asked.

Prince Laszlo said, "A man can marry many wives."

Queen Dowager Ye said, "The Queen of Daming has been selected. Your sister can only be a concubine."

The translator relayed the story and translated concubine into "vice queen."

Laszlo was quite satisfied with this, because the vice queen was also the queen.

Queen Mother Ye also said, "Do you want firearm technology?"

Laslo said: "Yes. Hungary will be Daming's most loyal ally in the West!"

Queen Mother Ye said: "It is impossible for artisans to give you. But you can give you some fire and ammunition."

Of course, it is impossible to presented a wire -wiring gun and a paper shell setting ammunition.

Daming is about to be delivered soon is the old -fashioned smoothbore fire rogue, the lead bullets without paper shells, and the unparalleled black gunpowder formula.

These things, some European countries have long been, do not have to worry about the problem of technological diffusion.

Empress Ye Ye came with another sentence: "If you are just marriage, you will give up ten fires at most as a gift. Do you want a thousand fire?"

One thousand?

Laslo was surprised and quickly said, "Please ask the queen queen to propose conditions."

Queen Mother Ye laughed: "The king of your country, convert to the teaching of the scene."

Laslo is difficult to answer.

What is Jingjiao, he has seen it halfway. Heresy heresy!

Making Hungary from Catholicism into Scenicism is afraid that it will immediately recruit endless diplomatic trouble.

Fortunately, Kiev Ross had broken the ground, and Shen Luo's separators were about to be civil strife. Otherwise, Hungary will be mixed by neighboring countries with converts.

After thinking for a long time, Laslo said, "This is too big, I can't do the Lord, I need to go back to ask the king."

The Empress Dowager Ye nodded and said, "Yes. I am about to send messengers, register King Kurman. The registered envoy will bring a thousand fires. If your country agrees, it will be delivered in Kurman."

Laslo said: "If it is just a thousand fires, His Majesty in my country will definitely not be able to agree."

"What else do you want?" Queen Mother Ye asked.

Laslo said: "Your country sent a group of craftsmen to help my country build the Mediterranean Navy!"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

You did not hear, the Hungarian Navy.

At this time, Hungary, the site was very large. It had a port in the Mediterranean and the coastline was six or seven hundred miles.

But most of the peripheral islands on the coastline are occupied by Venice.

With the navy of Venice, Hungarian vessels could not go to sea at all. It can only sell high -quality shipbuilding wood nearby to Venice merchants.

The Venetian businessmen bought wood and used as strategic supplies, and sold to deserted countries at high prices.

Qian made all the Venetian!

"Okay. As long as you are willing to convert to Jingjiao, Daming sent a craftsman to help you build the navy." The Empress Dowager Ye agreed.

Just like giving a gifted musket, advanced shipbuilding technology will definitely not give.

Laslo also said: "If because of converting to the scene, my country has been invaded by other countries.

Queen Mother Ye said, "You have to provide food and pay for some money."

"This is of course," Laslo said.

The two sides have reached a intention of cooperation.

But whether it can be done depends on the thoughts and means of the Hungarian king.

At this time, although Hungary has been converted to Catholicism for more than two hundred years, there are still a large number of pagans. Relatively speaking, its religious policies are relatively tolerant.

In addition, from the King of Hungary to the nobles, due to the inheritance system, there is always a huge contradiction with the priest group.

Because the main body of Hungary is nomadic people, even if many have become farming, there is still a strong inheritance tradition.

In particular, the nomadic areas of the nomadic areas are still in the dark, and they are habitually inherited the position and territory of adult descendants (regardless of the division).

This is related to survival.

A young eldest son inherited the land, and it was difficult to deal with the environment of the wolf wolf.

However, the priests have to line up a set of inheritance, which leads to the king and nobles who are out of the priests before they inherit.

This kind of bribery is often given the castle, territory and privilege!

When the king and nobles were facing the priests, they turned on their knees to eat.

Two consecutive Hungarian kings have been relying on the support of the Emperor Shen Luo, and constantly crack down and weaken the group of domestic priests.

It depends on this king, dare to accept Jingjiao.

If you dare not, Daming has nothing to lose.

Empress Dowager Ye glanced at the world map on the table, and a smile could not help showing her face.

She has lived in Qizudu Mansion since she was a child, knowing the power of religion, and she must not make that thing eastward.

Regardless of how Hungary choose, at least this time the Kuman people are willing to accept the Daming mission.

The Kurman people are still fierce.

When Zhu Minggang crossed at that time, the Kurman was still very weak and ran to provoke strong Kievros. At that time, Kiev Rogs had split substantially, but still fled the Kurman to the Caucasian area.

Just more than a hundred years, the Kurman killed again. He also took advantage of Kyiv Ross into one place to occupy his territory crazy.

With a little support for Kurman, they may be able to pass Buddhism and Jingjiao to Kiev.

The brothers and sisters were led to withdraw from the hall.

From time to time, Princess Anna wanted to communicate with the little emperor.

Unfortunately, the little emperor, like her, sat there without talking.

After leaving the palace, Anna asked: "Will my father really convert to that scene?"

Laslo shook his head:

"I don't know. The contradiction between the nobles and the civilians in China is very fierce. The princes of Shenluo are being eroded by the pope forces, and sooner or later will reach Hungary."

"Moreover, we need firearms and a navy, otherwise we will not be able to resist the surrounding forces. We have always had a good relationship with the Cumans, but they have expanded too fast in recent years, and now they have become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."

"If we do not have enough strength, the Cumans may invade Hungary. It was because of the threat of the Cumans that my father sent you to the Ming Dynasty for marriage."

"We converted to Catholicism in the past to consolidate our rule, and the West is indeed stronger. Now the East is truly powerful. If we can get more benefits, perhaps my father will really agree to convert to Nestorianism."

"I am afraid that those nobles will also be happy to accept it, without having to secretly marry several wives, and without having to bribe priests for inheritance issues."
