Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 1 Sophia Empress Temple
In the winter afternoon, the warm sun shines all over the earth.Guo Kang leaned against the big tree in the small garden, feeling more and more lazy and didn't want to move.

The bell rang, and it seemed that the landmark of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia, began to worship again.

The Guo family's mansion is in the fourth district near the Royal Palace of Constantinople, where the rich and powerful gather.From the garden, you can see the Hagia Sophia, which is commonly known as the Empress Temple by the foster father and others.Her magnificent main building, and the four huge Sulu ingots around it, are very conspicuous even here.

Guo Kang has always doubted who designed this layout.

But now, he is not in the mood to think about it.The soreness in his limbs made him just want to continue lying down and do nothing.

It's been a few years since he came to this world, but he still can't stand the devil's training from his adoptive father.

Last night, he had a strange dream. He dreamed that an unknown city was enveloped in a soaring fire, and the momentum was like the end of the world as the Greek priests said.He wandered around the city in a daze, not knowing what to do.After waking up, I felt depressed and depressed.

After breakfast, Guo Kang still didn't regain his energy and decided to go out to relax, but as soon as he went out, he saw his adoptive father practicing qigong.

He was shirtless, completely ignoring the coldness of the deep winter, and slapped an iron bar until a layer of white mist rose from his muscular body.Guo Kang said hello to him, and he put down the iron bar, came over and asked kindly.

Guo Kang said that he was just not feeling well.The adoptive father heard this and nodded seriously.Then, he lifted two stone locks and handed them to Guo Kang.

"Kang'er, don't think too much. As long as you exercise for a while, your troubles will disappear." The foster father said with a hearty smile.

As a result, Guo Kang was pulled by him to practice for more than half an hour, and he didn't want to move until now.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a head suddenly poked out from the fence, and looked around.

As soon as he saw him, Guo Kang knew that there was no need to rest today.

Before he could stand up, a handsome young man skilfully climbed over the wall and jumped into the garden.He was still holding the long pole in his hand, and as he strode forward, he greeted him loudly: "Don't lie down, get up quickly! Master Wang is looking for you!"

"You have something to do with me, can't you go through the main entrance?" Guo Kang said angrily, "The stepmother told me last time that if Li Xuanying comes over the wall again, she will be thrown out..."

"The main entrance is too detoured." Li Xuanying waved her hand: "Why does your door open to the east? Every time I walk on the street, I have to go around. Next time I see my wife, I will apologize to her."

"If you get caught next time." He thought for a while and added.

Guo Kang has a headache for this kind of guy who casually visits people's houses.However, the other party threw down the sentence "I'll wait for you outside", then turned around and left on his own.

The fence of Guo’s house is actually not short, but Li Xuanying grabbed the long pole in his hand, ran a few steps, stabbed the pole to the corner of the wall, jumped over the wall in one fell swoop, and was able to draw the pole over.

Guo Kang rolled his eyes.I looked around and found no one there, so I also ran to the corner.He raised his breath, jumped on the top of the wall through a crack in the stone, and turned over.

"You've made great progress in your skills, kid." Li Xuanying hugged the long pole and said with a smile: "But it's definitely better to use a lance than bare hands. Do you want to learn from me? Call me big brother, and I'll teach you a few moves passed down by your ancestors. "

"If your ancestors knew that the pole was used to climb over the wall, they would have killed you too." Guo Kang said angrily, "Why did the Great Lama Wang seek me?"

"Probably it's a matter of Guoshu again." Li Xuanying said: "You go to Suo Niangniang Temple and ask him yourself, and you will know."

Lama Wang is a nickname, but the real title seems to be "Patriarch Wang".But Guo Kang and others got used to calling this joking nickname, and they couldn't change it.

In this world, there are far more people from the Central Plains to the Western Regions than the world Guo Kang came from.For example, Wang Da Lama, who was originally a wandering warlock, lived in the river when he was young, and made a living by pretending to be gods and ghosts.However, the competition in this industry is too fierce and there is no future, so I decided to change the place and reopen.

He heard that the Roman Empire is now ruled by the Purple Horde Khanate. After thinking about it, he felt that the most promising thing in the Khanate should be the Lamaism.So, he memorized some scriptures, got dressed up, and claimed to be a great lama from the East, ready to start anew.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Zizhang Khanate officially believed in the Orthodox Church, and the lamas were no longer popular. The Wang Da Lama faced the risk of losing his job again, so he could only start from scratch again.

However, when he was working as a helper for the church, he met Yin Daochang, the patriarch who had just been appointed by the emperor at that time.Daoist Yin was also unfamiliar with the place, and he was quite troubled by the environment here. Seeing that Lama Wang was smart, he accepted him as an apprentice, which counted as an extra helper for him.

Fortunately, Da Lama Wang's basic skills are already solid, and he is very good at professional business such as speaking and performing miracles.With the guidance and support of Daoist Yin, he has risen rapidly in the church. After Daoist Yin passed away, he took over as the Patriarch logically.

Of course, this is actually nothing.The Roman Empire has always had a tradition of emperors interfering with the church. In the past, it was common for emperors to send trusted eunuchs as the chief shepherd capital.Lama Wang was at least a religious person, and he was a bit more "serious" than the eunuchs.

After leaving Guo's house, the two walked along the main road to the Niangniang Temple.Thanks to the victory of the previous war, the city has been relatively stable in the past few years, and there are more and more people, especially profiteers from Venice.

There has been a traditional friendship between Venice and the Khanate.When Batu marched west and entered the Black Sea coast, he established contact with Venetian merchants.

The merchants provided detailed information to the Mongol army. In return, Batu's army would protect their commercial interests and drive out their competitors.Under the leadership of these Venetians, the Mongols were sometimes more familiar with the local geographical environment than the local princes themselves, which provided great convenience for combat.Naturally, the Merchant of Venice also made a fortune.

When the Golden Horde was on the verge of disintegration, a force under the Khanate gradually became stronger on the west coast of the Black Sea—of course, they did not have this name at that time.

The leader, Boyan Timur, claimed to be a descendant of Batu Khan of the Golden Horde. With the help of his friend, Guo Gai, the ancestor of the Guo family, and others, he broke away from the Golden Horst and established a new Khan court.Although Guo Kang seemed to have never heard of this force in his original world; moreover, even in this world, Boyan Timur's identity and lineage were quite suspicious.But in the chaotic environment, no one went to study these things in detail.

Since then, the Khan Court has been in close contact with the Venetian merchants because of common interests.

Later, after years of hard work, they succeeded in making their way south to Constantinople.Because the Khan court believed that it was also a Roman regime, it also imitated the Romans and used purple as the most honorable Khan logo.Although the official name is still the same as that of the Roman Empire, everyone generally calls it the "Purple Horde".

The Venetians were among the most vocal supporters of this move in order to restore their local trading position.For Khanting, the Genoa power here is too strong.To balance them, Venice is undoubtedly the best choice.

Passing through these pedestrians coming and going, they soon arrived at their destination.

Lama Wang has several offices. In addition to being the abbot of the Sophia Niangniang Temple, he also has to serve as the royal shaman and participate in various necessary diplomatic occasions and religious ceremonies.Usually, it is really not easy to find where he is.

Fortunately this time, there were priests waiting for them in front of the gate.Li Xuanying said that he still had something to do and let Guo Kang go by himself.

Guo Kang could tell something was wrong at a glance.

"If you have something to do, you won't come to me." He pointed out bluntly: "If you just inform me, you can send a servant to do it. It is worthwhile for the young master of the Li family to drop other things and go there in person? Now you are in a hurry Let's go... Let me think about it, you just want to take the opportunity to escape and go to the theater?"

Li Xuanying blushed, faltering and saying nothing.

It's not that Guo Kang can't understand him, it's just that his excuse is really a bit speechless.But his family is indeed strictly controlled, and there is nothing good to do.

Like the Guo family, the Li family is also a meritorious prince of the Purple Horde Khanate, ranking among the pillars and having a high status.Li Xuanying's great-grandfather, Li Tiance, had five victories in five battles and completely defeated the Hungarian-Polish coalition forces. With the support of the Holy Roman Empire, there was no powerful force in the northwest that could directly threaten the hinterland of the Khanate.

This war is regarded as one of the two founding wars of the Purple Horde Khanate.After this battle, the Purple Horde took advantage of the internal struggles of the Paleolio Dynasty to expel the emperors John V and John VI who were fighting in the city with almost no resistance, and easily entered the royal family. Fort Tandy.Li Tiance himself also received great honor from it.

Constantinople was designated as the seat of the Khanate of the Purple Horde and was renamed "Dadu".And Li Tiance was appointed as "Jing Zhao Yin" and became the first guard of the capital.

——In fact, the Khanate had known the city for a long time.Because this is the capital city established by the Roman Great Khan, it was once called "Khan Bali": Khan is the Great Khan, and Bali is the city.Taken together, it is "the city of the Great Khan".

The Oros people under the Khan court also know this name.They called the Great Khan the Tsar and the city Gele, so Khan Bali became "Tsar Gele" in their mouths.

The Vikings from the north ruled Oros back then, and they still retain a deep cultural influence.These Vikings - also called Rus - called Constantinople "Miklagarde".Mikla means big, Gard means the city.Therefore, the name is simply "Dacheng", or "Dadu".

From this point of view, Czargrad, Khanbali, and Dadu are all one place.Everyone thought Dadu was the best to hear and remember, so they used it to replace the original name that was too long.

However, after the war, Li Tiance became complacent, indulged in Greek dramas, and ignored business all day long.Only two years later, while the main force of the purple tent was out to fight, the two Emperor Johns actually joined hands, and with the sponsorship of Shinra and Poland, they sent their cronies back to Constantinople to incite the citizens to riot.

At a critical juncture, Li Tiance, who was in charge of defending the city, was watching a play when he was suddenly besieged by actors.Unprepared, Li Tiance was seriously injured, and escaped from the city in a hurry under the desperate rescue of another Zhu Kingdom and veteran Cao Meng.However, his subordinates suffered heavy losses, and even Cao Meng was seriously injured and died.

The following year, Li Tiance also died of injuries and depression.Before he died, he gave his son Li Yinglin three arrows and asked him to fulfill three last wishes: to fight back the expelled Constantinople, to destroy the Polish-Hungarian alliance, the old enemy, and to ban the usurped pseudo-Holy Roman State.However, these last wishes have not yet been fulfilled.Therefore, the whole Li family kept the hatred of the country and the family in their ears every day.

Li Xuanying grew up in this environment since she was a child, and was urged by her family to learn the art of war and practice martial arts every day.His entertainment activities are much less than those of other noble children.Going to the theater is a pain point for the family and is strictly prohibited.

Guo Kang's thinking is somewhat more "free", thinking that as long as the business is not delayed, it is not impossible to have fun.He waved his hand at Li Xuanying, expressing that he didn't care and would not sue his family.

Li Xuanying ran away in a hurry, carrying the iconic pole as if she had been pardoned.
