Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Kublai Khan was very happy. It would be good for him that Zhang Dingguan could become the crown prince and the future heir to the country. He had a good relationship with his sister and could even be said to be the best one among the brothers.

Even after he came to power in the future, he might release himself. Of course, even if he was released, Kublai Khan would not have any ambitions, because he knew that if he rebelled again.

He would definitely be killed, and he had no capital to do so. He would not get any support in Mongolia, let alone in the Central Plains.

The northern region of the Jin Dynasty has also been completely conquered by Zhang Yong. He has no hope at all. His only hope now is to obtain a relatively free identity.

"Second brother! Eldest brother is dead now. His Majesty has spared you. You must be loyal to His Majesty! Don't think too much." Zhang Dingguan's wife Hu Chaduo said.

He really knew his second brother too well. Among all his brothers, he was the most capable one, as well as the most scheming and cunning one.

To be honest, when the city of Samarkand was just captured, he thought that his second brother was dead. He even thought that the farewell in the military camp was a farewell. He didn't expect that after being sent back to the capital, his father-in-law Zhang Yong did not kill his second brother.

He was not even punished, but was placed under house arrest in the capital. Except for not being able to leave the capital, he could even walk out of his mansion and walk around the city. He just needed to be protected by the assassin army and some palace demonstrators.

"Brother Kublai Khan, there are some things I can only do my best! I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and drink in the future, but you have to live in my capital. Maybe when I go hunting in northern Mongolia, I can take you with me, and you can come back with me afterwards." Zhang Dingguan said.

He naturally knew what Kublai was thinking, but there were some things that he really had to guard against until he ascended the throne in the future.

Or he could take Kublai Khan for a stroll on the Mongolian grasslands and do some hunting, but afterwards, Kublai Khan would still have to follow him back.

As for Kublai Khan's descendants, he had already discussed with his father that in the future they would all be parasites and live in Kublai Khan's palace.

Even if he got married, he was not allowed to leave Kublai Khan's palace and could only live there for the rest of his life.

"Hahaha! Being able to go hunting with you is already my greatest wish. I dare not ask for anything else.

Now I am really happy for you, you finally became the crown prince, although you are my brother-in-law, you have the same status as me, you are the grandson of Genghis Khan, and I am also the owner of our Golden Family, that is enough. "Kublai said.

Among all of Zhang Yong's sons, Zhang Dingguan is the most promising one. Now the reason why the princes of various Mongolian tribes in the entire central Mongolia are willing to submit to Zhang Yong's policies and allow Zhang Yong to become the Great Khan of Mongolia is largely because of this son.

The identity and bloodline of this son were the key to the submission of the Mongolian tribes.

"Brother Kublai Khan, it's good to know! From now on, you will be a burden to the family. Only Ariq Böke's lineage will be able to survive in the north. As for Hulagu, he will probably have to settle in the west." Zhang Dingguan said.

There is no other way! Hulagu killed his uncle and his mother's brother. This man must die.

It was because Hulagu had done a lot for their family over the years that their father left his descendants and arranged for Hulagu to die of illness.

Then let his descendants establish a country in the western land and have their own khanate as a buffer zone against Western forces.

"Ask yourself, Your Majesty has treated our Tuolei family very well. When my father was alive, he opposed Your Majesty many times and even wanted to kill Your Majesty. It was the same when my elder brother was alive. Even I have opposed Your Majesty many times.

Throughout history, it is rare to have someone as broad-minded and courageous as Your Majesty who does not kill me.

I can get a life. From today on, there is no Tolui family anymore. There are only Ariq Böke family, Kublai family, and Hulagu family. "

The descendants of Mongke had been killed completely by the previous Mongol Khan Guiyou, so they dragged down a family and sold them directly, leaving only these people. Of course, there were also some other sons of their father, but these sons could only be regarded as branches of the family.

"Well! Come on, let's drink more wine and have a good chat today. For a long time in the future, I guess I can only spare a little time every month to come and see you. My father has allowed me to join the cabinet and participate in politics, and I need to deal with many state affairs." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Of course I understand this matter! National affairs should be given priority. It doesn't matter to me. You should study hard how to govern the country! This country is the largest one in history." Kublai Khan said.

It inherited all the territories of the Great Mongol Empire, plus Western Xia, Tubo, Central Plains, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Dali, Western Liao, the Mongolian grasslands through the north, and even towards that bitter and cold land!

Such a vast territory can be said to be unprecedented. Governing such a country is indeed the first time in the world. Zhang Yong can run this country, which is indeed a first-class existence in the world.

His grandfather was right in choosing the right person, but he underestimated the ambitions of some people and the determination of Ogedei. Their Golden Family had several opportunities to completely eliminate Zhang Yong's hidden danger.

But he dodged them all, and was trusted by three generations of Mongolian Khans. Eventually, he gained the position of Mongolian Khan himself, and also firmly ruled the world with full legitimacy. Zhang Yong was indeed extraordinary!
Especially after defeating him, he did not kill him and even left his descendants with such a broad mind. Kublai Khan felt that he was not as good as him.

Kublai Khan accepted the defeat sincerely, having been defeated by Zhang Yong and by the father and son!

The couple, Kublai Khan and his wife began to drink and eat meat together, and they chatted until late at night. Only then did Zhang Dingguan and his wife say goodbye and leave.

"Your Majesty! An hour ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Kublai Khan's residence and returned to his own residence." At this moment, the leader knelt in front of Zhang Yong and spoke.

"What did they talk about?" Zhang Yong asked while sitting on his dragon chair.

"Your Majesty! Kublai Khan told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lot of ways to govern the country and how to manipulate the Mongolian tribes, and once again expressed his submission to you." said the assassin leader.

Even in his own government office, Zhang Yong had his own spies and informants. Zhang Yong never let down his guard regarding Kublai Khan's every move and always maintained the highest level of surveillance.

"Hahaha! This is quite good. When it comes to governing the country and maintaining the situation of the Mongolian tribes, Kublai Khan is indeed good at this." Zhang Yong said with a laugh.

Zhang Yong also knew very well that his eldest son had gone to Kublai Khan's house.

However, he did not refuse his son to go there. Kublai Khan was a rare talent, and sometimes he could teach his son a lot of things.

For example, how to control people's hearts and minds, how to achieve balance in the court! Now the entire court is divided into several factions, among which there are representatives of Mongolian military generals.

There are the central military forces, Sichuan military forces, southern military forces, and Hebei military forces.

As for the civil servants, they are divided into Central Plains, Guandong, Sichuan and Shu, and the southern region. Mongolia is indeed not very good at civil servants.

Because he founded his country on military power, although he has been vigorously promoting and supporting some civil officials in recent years, compared with the military generals, the civil officials are still a little inferior.

When dealing with state affairs, there are some things you have to balance between the two sides. You can't let one side be too strong, nor can you let the other side be too weak. You have to find the right balance.

If the military generals are too strong, it will be easy to undermine the imperial power and produce some powerful warlords. When there are no powerful foreign enemies, weakening the military generals is indeed a good choice.

As for civil officials, the highest achievement they can achieve is to be one of the Three Dukes or the prime minister. This is indeed the position that poses the least threat to the imperial power. Having been an emperor for so many years, Zhang Yong deeply agrees with this.

"Your Majesty! In addition, Kublai Khan also told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he wanted to leave and follow him to the north to hunt." The assassin leader, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke.

Kublai Khan had never expressed such an intention, but the prince had agreed to take Kublai Khan to the north to hunt, so he reported the matter truthfully.

"Hahaha! Isn't it just hunting? If he likes, I will take him there when I'm free." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

There are some things that the father and son are aware of tacitly. Kublai Khan is completely in his own hand. It can be said that he cannot fly away even if he has wings. Even if he flies out, he has nowhere to go. The Mongolian tribes hate Kublai Khan very much.

On the Mongolian grasslands, Kublai Khan was like a rat crossing the street and had a very bad reputation.

"Okay! I'm tired and need to rest. You go down first!" Zhang Yong waved his hand to signal the assassin leader to leave.

In the following days, Zhang Yong began to personally take his eldest son to deal with some national affairs and taught him how to handle some important matters.

How to deal with some problems in the court, maintain personal connections with all parties, maintain the interests of various power groups, and even bind their interests.

For more than a year, Zhang Dingguan followed Zhang Yong to handle various state affairs. The father and son worked together to formulate basic national policies, the future development guidelines of the empire, and various future plans for military, politics, production, manufacturing, commerce, agriculture, etc.

“Remember, a person is like a lock. You need different keys to open it. The same trick may work on one person, but it may not work on another person.

You have to support these forces in the court and not let them be suppressed too much or even destroyed.

You must not allow any one force to become too powerful. If Mongolian generals in the north rise up, you must find a way to suppress them, but you must be careful not to inflict too great a blow on them.

If the military commanders in the Central Plains rise up, you must also find a way to suppress the civil service group. The same is true for the north and south, the Central Plains, and the Sichuan region. You must strike a balance and let them sit together at the same time, but never allow one to dominate. "Zhang Yong said.

"I understand, father! I will keep your teachings in mind." Zhang Dingguan nodded and said.

"Well! Remember, when suppressing some forces, you don't necessarily need to do it yourself.

You are sitting in a position of imperial power, and sometimes you have to be fair.

You have to consider the interests of all parties, and you have to learn to kill with a borrowed knife, borrowing the power of another party to suppress the power of the other party.

For example, when the power of the South is too strong, you have to use the power of the North to suppress them, but at the same time you cannot let the North have an absolute upper hand. When the North suppresses the South, you have to weaken the power of the North at the same time.

But you cannot attract the target of hatred to yourself as the emperor, but let them hate each other. "Zhang Yong said.

Zhi Heng knows that you have to play this kind of thing carefully, otherwise, it will cause great harm to the country.

"Your Majesty, I've made note of this!" Zhang Dingguan nodded and said.

His father was indeed a learned man, worthy of having lived in the cave of the gods for three years. What he said and the principles were clearer than what Kublai Khan said, even more detailed, which made him feel as if everything had suddenly become clear.

In the past, he was only proficient in war and knew some strategies, but he knew nothing about governing a country or controlling the entire court.

Over the past year or so, he has followed his father and learned a lot. The more he learned, the more he admired his father, Zhang Yong, Zhang Dingguan.

His father's wisdom even surpassed the entire era, and he seemed to see everything about everyone.

“You and I are different. I have the identity of a messenger from heaven. I have many magical artifacts, but many of these artifacts will be useless in a few years.

You know this situation. Your generation may be able to make use of what I left behind, and your descendants may also be able to make use of it.

But at most three generations, these things will be useless, and all I can leave you is the knowledge, the vast amount of knowledge. All the knowledge I brought back has been copied into books, and these things are your future treasures. "Zhang Yong patted his son's shoulder and said.

Some of the electronic and mechanical products I brought back are now broken, and some may break down completely in the future. I can rely on these things, but my son cannot.

All the e-books that he brought back from the modern era had been copied down, even some very unpopular knowledge, even some atomic knowledge, had been copied down and then sealed in the national treasury.

With this knowledge, coupled with the independent research of future generations, Zhang Yong is confident that the technological level of the entire Chinese civilization will remain at the forefront for at least the next thousand years.

As for a thousand years later, I have already secured a thousand years of lead for you. If you can no longer maintain your lead, then don't even think about national rejuvenation. Just go to bed as soon as possible!

"Father! The classics you brought back from the gods are also part of my reading. There are many things in them that will be of great help to the country, but it will not be accomplished overnight to realize them one by one." Zhang Dingguan said.

During this year or so, after finishing his government affairs during the day, he would return to his residence and take at least an hour to read the various books and knowledge brought back by his father.

It was not until he read this knowledge that he realized how precious these books his father brought back were. Any one of them was enough to dominate the world.

What is even more valuable is that the things his father brought back, in addition to those for marching and fighting, also included various technologies that benefited the country and the people, and even some advanced theories.

"You are right, kid! It took me decades of hard work to get out a tiny bit of something, but even this tiny bit will make us the world's most powerful and invincible.

But you have to remember that these things will be exhausted one day. Using the knowledge I have brought you, you must conduct more in-depth research and develop more deeply.

One day, all these things will run out of use, and then all you can rely on is these rich experiences to innovate other things.

Remember! The advancement of civilization and the development of a country can never rely on just one person, but on a group of people. "Zhang Yong said meaningfully.

"Father! I will remember your teachings." Zhang Dingguan knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Yong.

"Well! Recently, war reports have been received from the West. Your brother is also fighting well. About half a year ago, his army had entered the Damascus area and captured the Ayyubid dynasty without bloodshed." Zhang Yong said.

The main opponents of the Third Western Expedition were Egypt and the Abbasid Caliphate. As for the Ayyubid Caliphate, it had already declined.

In the original history, when the Ayyubid Empire was conquered, only a few battles were fought and the whole of Damascus surrendered.

Now the army that his son brought back, both in terms of equipment and number of people, far exceeded the Third Western Expedition in history.

Taking over the entire Ayyubid dynasty was naturally a piece of cake. At the end of the war, the European expeditionary force had already gathered in the Jerusalem area and acted as agreed.

After conquering Jerusalem, his second son Zhang Dingxia handed the city over to Guyuk's son, and then conferred the title of King of Jerusalem on him.

The Western Pope did not show any opposition to this enthronement. After all, the other party had royal bloodline of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

It is reasonable both from the perspective of etiquette and strategy. Europe is a place that attaches great importance to bloodline. The nobler your bloodline, the greater the respect and courtesy you will receive.

"Father! Since the Ayyubid Dynasty has been conquered, what about the Mamluk Dynasty?" Zhang Dingguan said.

He knew what the Pope wanted to do. This group of Western troops planned to reap the fruits of victory in the end. His second brother must be careful and must not fall into the enemy's trap.

"Hahaha! I know what you are worried about. I have established a complete intelligence channel in the West. It will deliver information to me at the fastest speed. It only takes fifty days.

According to the latest news, about one-third of the Egyptian Mamluk troops surrendered voluntarily, while the other troops were quickly defeated after the Mongolian army entered the Egyptian territory. The whole battle lasted less than a month.

Your brother captured the Egyptian queen and made her his concubine. He entered Egypt with a very suitable identity and even made his son, my newly born grandson, the Sultan of Egypt." Zhang Yong said.

He really didn't expect that his son would get involved with the famous Pearl Branch in history and have a son with her.

Hahaha! As expected, he had his own style. With the support of the Queen of Egypt, many troops that were previously loyal to the Queen chose to surrender after seeing the arrival of the Mongolian army.

The remaining Mamluk army consisted of only tens of thousands of people, facing a Mongolian army of hundreds of thousands.

There were also Han troops equipped with advanced weapons, and these people had little ability to resist.

The Mongol cavalry only had to charge a few times, and the heavy artillery only had to bombard them, and the Mamluk cavalry collapsed.

In less than two months from entering Egypt, his second son captured Cairo and successfully destroyed this ancient country.

"Your Majesty! What's the situation in Europe? I suggest that it's best not to let the Han army return too early, and even the Mongolian army should not retreat too much." Zhang Dingguan said.

"This matter depends on him! After seeing our strength, those Western European Crusaders dare not act rashly.

These people are just a bunch of bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong!" Zhang Yong said.

In the current situation, if these Crusaders dare to come and seize the fruits of victory, they will only have one outcome, that is, annihilation of the entire army, after witnessing the combat effectiveness of the Western Expedition Army.

As long as he is not an idiot general, he will know what to do! Moreover, his second son has established contact with the Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire. And under the introduction of Queen Maria of Hungary, he is preparing to marry a new princess of the Eastern Roman Empire and establish a cooperative relationship with the Eastern Roman Empire.

If these European Crusaders dared to act recklessly, the Eastern Roman Empire would outflank them from behind, and by then they would not even be able to return to Western Europe.

"In that case, my second brother will definitely be able to establish his own regime on that land and continue the territory of our empire." Zhang Dingguan said with relief after hearing this.

"Hahaha! Don't think too much about things in the West. Even if there are some small accidents, they have enough support troops. Don't forget that the Ogedei family is still over there!

Although the journey is a bit long, they open up the main roads of the Eastern Roman Empire along the way. They can drive straight in from the vicinity of the Caspian Sea to support your second brother." Zhang Yong said.

I have basically achieved the point where I can plan everything for myself.

"Ok!"

"Let's let things in the West take their own course! You know, those Han troops are very homesick. They have been fighting for four years, or at most one year.

The five-year period is coming to an end, and as a monarch, I must keep my word, and these Han troops must be withdrawn." Zhang Yong said.

During the years of his rule, he has greatly improved the treatment of soldiers. However, due to the hundreds of years of ideology and culture of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, the Han people are still very resistant to the idea of ​​being a soldier, let alone going on an expedition.

When the army set out, Zhang Yong promised many benefits and assured all the officers and soldiers that they would be able to return to the east within five years.

The people his son could rely on in the future were his mother's relatives, the people in the Khwarezm region, and the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian herdsmen and cavalrymen who had migrated there.

"Father, I feel that having only the Mongols and the Khwarezmians is not enough.

You should sign some Han Chinese or people of other nationalities." Zhang Dingguan said.

"I have been doing this all along. When I was in Guanzhong area, I had already started the migration of the people.

At that time, I settled many Han people in the territory of Western Xia. Now the number of Han people in the entire Western Xia has accounted for more than 70%.

In the Western Liao region, I also carried out immigration work a few years ago, but there were only about 100,000 Han people who moved there. This work is not easy to do. I guess this matter can only be carried out slowly after you succeed to the throne. "Zhang Yong sighed and said.

The task of relocating and migrating common people is not that easy.

The Han people have a very strong sense of family, and even have the tradition of returning to their hometown after death. For the Han people, migrating away is equivalent to exile, and the people who migrated there before them are all sinners who have made mistakes.

In addition, after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali, some bandits and robbers were eliminated, and these people were also considered as an immigrant group.

The domestic public security has been very good in recent years. Why is it so good? Because one of the most fundamental reasons is that if you make a big mistake, you will be sent to the West to reclaim wasteland.

This kind of thing was the most severe punishment for the Han people, equivalent to exile, and not just exile of a thousand miles, but exile of tens of thousands of miles.

Therefore, in recent years, there has been no crime, murder, robbery, or theft among the people.

When the punishment becomes so severe that it is unbearable, no one wants to cross this red line.

But this stumped Mr. Zhang. Immigration work was really difficult. To forcibly relocate the people in some areas, he would have to spend a lot of effort and also had to promise huge benefits.

They are willing to leave their homeland, and this is only a small part. Those who cannot survive in the local area will not leave as long as they can still survive a little.

Therefore, small-scale immigration can be carried out slowly, but large-scale immigration must wait until later. Now, the land of Khwarezm is a barren land and a bitter and cold land of barbarians for the Han people.

"Father! If it's Han people, perhaps we can migrate some Xixia people over, or the Khitans we talked about before, and the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty." Zhang Dingxia said.

Although the Khitans and the Jurchens did not get along well with the Mongols, they were even more incompatible with those Western peoples, after all, because of the color of their hair.

The skin color remains the same, but after going to the West, the hair becomes brown, blond, red, and black.

In this situation, people with yellow skin and black eyes, regardless of their nationality, can easily unite together.

As long as a certain number of people migrate there, it will be easier for his brother to rule there.

"Well, that makes sense. Then we will select 200,000 people from the north of the Jin Kingdom and the homeland of the Khitan people.

Gather another 100,000 Han people, a total of 500,000 people, and give them to your second brother." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

Of course, sending 500,000 people over there would take time and effort. It would be better to send them in batches over several years. Otherwise, the food expenses alone would be enough to bring down a country.

The father and son nodded to each other, discussed it for a while, and started the immigration work.

At this time, Zhang Dingxia, who was far away in the Western Regions, had completed the final work of this Western Expedition and completely captured Cairo, Egypt.

The Crusaders did express their desire to take over Egypt and even produced some so-called evidence.

Some people say that during the Roman Empire, Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire, so Egypt should be under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire.

Zhang Jingxia wanted to refuse this argument at first, but after thinking about it, she decided to allocate one-third of Egypt's land to Christians.

The fact that one-third of Egypt's land was divided to Christians made Pearl Twig very angry. In her opinion, she, as the Queen of Egypt, was the ruler of the whole of Egypt, and even if she was not the queen, she should let her son become the Sultan.

However, faced with Zhang Dingxia's tough attitude, the Egyptian queen finally gave in and ruled 2/3 of Egypt's land, the richest part of the land.

Why did Zhang Dingxia give one-third of Egypt's territory to these Christians? Zhang Dingxia also had his own considerations. First of all, it was to check and balance some local people and give them a target of hatred.

If he ruled this area, he would definitely have to gradually de-religionize it. After staying in this land for a few years, Zhang Dingxia deeply understood how serious the influence of religion was in this land. It would not be accomplished overnight to eliminate this influence.

Even last time, if I hadn’t flown into the sky on a hot air balloon, I would have flown over Baghdad, Damascus, Jerusalem, and Cairo.

If all the people had seen this flying wonder, his rule would not have been so smooth. Now, the local people have, to a certain extent, acknowledged his identity as the son of the great prophet.

He also acknowledged that the magic weapon he possessed did not come from the devil in hell, but was given by God.

But if he rules directly, there will definitely be a lot of resistance in this land, but if he gives 1/3 of the land to Christians.

Then the situation would be different. Christians would definitely migrate some people from Europe, which would inevitably lead to violent conflicts with the local people.

At that time, these people will even form two opposing countries. The Western side will have Jerusalem and the support of mainland Europe, while Egypt will be supported by several other sultanates.

More importantly, the number of Christians and YSLs in the Kingdom of Jerusalem is completely disproportionate.

Christians were at an absolute disadvantage. Allowing Christians to have an enemy and Muslims to have a common enemy would be more conducive to their own rule. That was why Zhang Dingxia allowed these European Crusaders to occupy one-third of Egypt's land.

"You won't stay in this land anyway. I'm going back to Samarkand, the capital of Khwarezm, and build my capital there. As my favorite concubine, you will naturally follow me there.

I will appoint a governor to take charge of the Egyptian region. When your son and I come of age, we will come here to serve as the Sultan." Zhang Dingxia hugged the Egyptian queen in his arms and spoke.

Don't think I don't know what you want to do. You want to use my power to return to this land and become the queen. What a joke! You'd better just stay in the harem and be a concubine.

When Pearl Twig heard this, she gritted her teeth and wanted to refuse. She really wanted to return to Egypt and become queen again, but she also understood some things: the man in front of her would not let her go.

Sometimes fate really plays tricks on people. One is unable to become a ruler and can only live by relying on men.

"I understand, great king, I will go with you, but if you want to build a capital, why not choose Damascus, Jerusalem or even the holy city of Baghdad?" Pearl Twig asked.

The territory of the empire now ruled by her man even surpassed that of the Persian Empire in its heyday, and even the Abbasid Dynasty could not compare to it.

In this situation, it would be best to establish one's own political ruling center in the most central area. In her opinion, it was inappropriate to go to the distant Khwarezm Empire and establish the capital in the city of Samarkand.

"I have my considerations. In the future, our political center will be over there, not here. As for the land near Baghdad and Damascus, I plan to confer them on other people." Zhang Dingxia said.

These lands were distributed to the Mongolian nobles, who would become the backbone of their country's future rule.

The closer your capital is to the East, the better support you can get from the East, so it goes without saying that choosing the capital there is the right choice.

In the end, Pearl Twig could only nod helplessly.

After the war was completely over, the Han army remained stationed in the area for a whole year to maintain public order.

It was not until the fifth year of the Western Expedition that the Han army and part of the Mongolian army began to retreat.

After living in Egypt for a year, Zhang Dingxia also started to return to Samarkand with Zhenzhu, Xiaozhi and his son.

Along the way, the Han army troops were eager to return home. After all, they had been fighting outside for five years since the start of the war, and including the journey it took them a full six years!

On the land of Egypt, Zhang Dingxia supported the Christian sect to establish a kingdom and appointed a governor in the Egyptian region to govern the land.

And the governor is replaced every three to five years. The purpose of this is to ensure that his son can smoothly inherit the land after he comes of age.

The Jerusalem region was granted to the King of Jerusalem and the Principality of Antioch was retained. The power of the Crusader states in this land was expanded, and now they are confronting the Sultanate.

When both sides have an enemy, they will not think of resisting their rule. What they have to do now is to appease the people of Khwarezm and receive immigrants from the East.

When marching to the Caspian Sea, Zhang Dingxia sent his army to bring the Eastern Roman Empire who had married from afar to join the team, and returned to his capital Samarkand together.

This marked the complete end of the Third Western Expedition.

After the Western Expedition, Hulagu was enthroned by Zhang Dingxia and allowed to establish his own khanate, which was located near the city of Baghdad and was named the Ilkhanate.

One year after the establishment of the Khanate, the first Khan, Hulagu, caught a cold while out hunting. He fell seriously ill when he returned to the palace. His condition continued to worsen, and he died after lying in bed for a month.

His eldest son successfully inherited the position of Khan of the Khanate, and personally went to Samarkand to kneel down to Zhang Dingxia. He also sent an envoy to Dadu to report the matter to Zhang Yong.

At this point, Zhang Dingxia completely fulfilled his father's instructions and avenged Tulanlun's brother.

Western rule can only take effect slowly, so Zhang Yong continued to immigrate from the Central Plains to the West and vigorously promoted the West.

In the second year after the end of the Western Expedition, the railway line was opened and directly connected to Samarkand, the capital of Khwarezm.

Zhang Yong's favorite concubine, Famaina, couldn't wait to take the train. After a month on the road, she finally arrived at her hometown, met her son, his wives, concubines, and grandchildren, and fulfilled her wish.

After living there for more than half a year, Famaina said goodbye to her son and returned to Zhang Yong.

In the third year after the end of the Western Expedition, Zhang Yong finally made comprehensive preparations and launched naval forces from the Korean Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula and other places to attack the Fuso Kingdom.

The army set up a detailed landing operation plan several years in advance and spent several years observing the movements of various typhoons.

Naval forces were also sent to occupy several surrounding islands as logistics supply bases.

Finally, they chose an extremely suitable month to launch a surprise attack on Honshu Island. The ships sailed along familiar sea routes and replenished supplies on nearby islands.

After a month, they finally landed successfully on this land. The Japanese pirates put up resistance, but they were no match at all due to their short stature and poor weapons and equipment.

When the Mongolian cavalry and Han infantry landed on this land, the war was declared over.

The war after the landing lasted for three months, and the four islands were basically completely occupied.

After destroying the Fuso Kingdom, Zhang Yong did not stop his conquest plan, but just took a three-year break.

He sent his fifth and sixth sons, with an army of 100,000, to invade the Kingdom of Nanyue, and captured large tracts of land in the south along the way.

In the tenth year after the end of the Western Expedition, Zhang Yong had been on the throne for twenty years. At the age of sixty-one, Zhang Yong, as the Taizong of the Daqian Empire, abdicated.

He handed over the entire world to his eldest son, the second emperor of the Daqian Empire, Emperor Wuzong Zhang Dingguan.

I have done enough!

Next, Zhang Yong handed over the development at sea, the strategy for Southeast Asia, and even the exploration of the American continent, the development of the bitter cold land of Siberia, and the development of the western territories to his son.

He began to enjoy a comfortable retirement life with his wives, concubines, and some grandchildren.

He began to travel around the country. Whenever the emperor went on a trip, officials from all over the country would kneel and greet him.

As the founder of this country, he has done enough. The future development of the empire will be handed over to his descendants. It is time for Zhang Yong to retire.

The whole book is finished!
(When this book was written, it was originally planned to be around 240 million words. After the second Western Expedition, there was no more Western plot.

The protagonist begins to fight for the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and then unifies the world, and the book ends.

It’s just because of the enthusiasm of many book lovers that I wrote the Third Expedition to the West, but the Third Expedition to the West.

To be honest, it was a bit difficult to write. Everyone knows what happened in the last month. I even didn’t have an outline because the outline only mentioned the Second Western Expedition.

But I finally managed to finish writing the story of the attack on Baghdad. There is actually not much to write about the Mamluk Dynasty and the Ayyubid Dynasty afterwards, as for the European part.

If I continue writing, I'll just be forcing myself to write in order to meet the word count, and I don't have a suitable outline, so I'll just finish it here!

There is still a big problem with this book even up to now, and that is that there are a lot of typos.

Old book friends should all know that for a full eight months, the author has been updating 8 words a day and has never stopped until the last month of August.

If there are some typos in this book later, the author will make corrections after you comment on them.

Finally, thank you all for watching! (End of this chapter)
