Regarding Guo Kang’s evaluation, it’s not surprising that Tu Huan is a good person.

"You also know the level of everyone here." He spread his hands and said: "There are so many people, but none of them are... uh, literary and virtuous ministers. It has taken a lot of effort for us to be able to write these."

"We can only do so much on our own now. Don't worry, you won't have to do everything." He added: "I even called a few helpers."

Seeing that Tuo Huan was already lying down, Guo Kang could only nod his head to show his understanding.

He turned back again and glanced at the only line of words.

Judging from the wording above, Tuo Huan and others have indeed considered it.

The name Ulusi of the Great Roman Empire of the Qin Dynasty was a formal title that was only started to be used in recent years. Guo Kang felt that it should be imitated from the title of the Yuan Dynasty.

The word "Ulusi" is a noun characteristic of the grassland. Generally speaking, it has the dual meaning of tribe and land.

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and people move around frequently, so simply looking at "territory" is meaningless. An Uluth can simply be understood as a group of tribesmen and the various grasslands they occupy, which constitutes

A enfeoffed unit.

When the Mongolian regime was first established, its name was "Yeke Mongol Uluse". When translated directly, it is actually very... crude, which means "large, Mongolian territory".

Later, Kublai Khan claimed to be emperor and took "Dayuan" as his country name. In the documents sent to other khanates, the full name of the Yuan Dynasty was written as "Dayuan Great Mongol Uluth". In the official statement of the Yuan Dynasty, Dayuan

It means Mongolia, and Mongolia means Dayuan. They have the same meaning. In some documents, it is simply written as "the great Mongolian Uluth who was called 'Dayuan'".

As for why they all have the same meaning and are put in... probably because important things need to be repeated.

Of course, the above is the Yuan Dynasty's own statement. It is hard to say whether other khanates regard the Yuan regime as Mongolia. It depends on the specific time and circumstances.

For the current Purple Horde Khanate, this writing method can be borrowed. "Da Qin" is the ancient Central Plains people's name for Rome, and "Rome" is the local language, but it expresses the same meaning. When these two are stacked, it is

"The Roman state known as 'Great Qin'" should be easier to understand and more formal.

It's easier to understand Baosai Khan. The official title of the emperor of the Purple Horde Khanate is a Greek title, called "Basileus". As early as when the Purple Horde was still operating in Bulgaria and was still an ordinary force, everyone knew this

To save trouble, people usually just call him "Pai Sai Khan" in colloquial language. Over time, it became a custom and became the Roman emperor's special name.

The second half of the sentence is a name for the Ming Dynasty.

There are actually many names for the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of names in the various Mongolian khanates. The most popular one is to directly use the country name and call it "Ming Dynasty Uluse". Or, add the name to indicate the ethnic group.

The prefix is ​​called "Khitan Kingdom of Ming Dynasty".

In the correspondence between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal and the Jisu Guards, it was often called "Dotoradu-Ulusi" or "Dotoradu-Hezha". Literally translated, it means "inland".

In external documents, the Ming Dynasty's favorite official translation was "Dunta Ulusi", which means "Central Kingdom". This is an officially designated name and can be regarded as the most formal Mongolian name. Use this name

, it will indeed make people in the Ming Dynasty happier.

As for the last "Zhu Tianping Hehan", he is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Kang himself was surprised to discover that in this world, Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, did not die of illness early, but ascended the throne normally, with the reign name "Tian Ping".

Guo Kang realized at that time that the changes in the world might not be as simple as his adoptive father's "inner power".

"Hehan" is the honorific title above Khan. If the ordinary Khan is the king, Hehan is the emperor. In the Yuan Dynasty, this word was directly translated as emperor. The title "Zhu Tianping Hehan" is also customary usage.

.

In short, the good news so far is that in this short sentence, special attention needs to be paid to the wording that both parties care about. Tuo Huan and others have basically taken it into consideration, and it has obviously been carefully verified and scrutinized.

The bad news is that the Tuhuan team has been thinking about it until now and just came up with this sentence...

Of course, there is really nothing we can do about it. As Tuohuan himself said, his men are indeed not this material.

In order to maintain a balance and win over nobles from all over the world, almost all of his attendants and ministers were Bulgarians and Serbs.

The reason is actually because the Greek women in the court were too strong.

In order to gain more support, marrying local people is a very common option. Since the Purple Tent moved south, almost all the direct wives of the great Khans of the past dynasties were Greeks, except for the disgraced great-grandfather, Basil Ye, the hero of the Purple Tent.

Rigo Borgia is an exception.

Daughters from the great Eastern Roman families have controlled the inner court for generations. The scope of the Khan's rule is not small, but those princesses and ladies from Bulgaria, Serbia and Rus are simply unable to fight against these scheming old Greek ladies.

The Great Khan and the Zhu Kingdoms were often tortured.

The early Khanate was still polygamous, and this sign was already very obvious. Later, as the Khanate became more and more Roman, monogamy became the mainstream, and the advantage of Greek noblewomen was irreversible.

The Khanate needed the support of the Greeks, but it could not allow these people to completely control the court. Therefore, in response, the great khans of all dynasties had to train their heirs from an early age so that they could get familiar with talents from other ethnic groups as early as possible to avoid being betrayed by their mothers.

He manipulated his uncle's family. Among them, he had an early marriage with Guo Kang and others, and also included the selection of these Serbian followers.

However, these people can fight well, but it is too difficult for them to deal with diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty...

The problem is that the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is very important to the Khan's court. Sooner or later, they will have to take on this job, there is no way to avoid it.

Commerce was vital to the Khanate.

The reason why Constantinople is rich is because it is stuck at the mouth of the Black Sea. Materials coming from all directions have to be transferred and gathered here. Once the trade routes are monopolized and transferred by others, the place will soon suffer huge losses.

The losses even became a bottomless pit that could only be entered but could not be exited, which in turn devoured the empire's economy.

The Golden Horde had a positive example back then.

During the reign of Yue Jibie Khan, the Khanate was extremely powerful. From the Yuan Dynasty to Bulgaria, it was the territory of the Great Khan. The Khan's court invested heavily in building and maintaining roads and inns, and deployed heavy troops along the way.

The caravan does not even need to carry food, fodder or hire a guide, because as long as you pay money, the inns and settlements along the way will provide all the needed materials. There is no need to worry about robbery, because all the tribes along the way have been beaten by the Great Khan.

This made trade extremely smooth. Starting from Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty, including the time for loading and unloading goods and land and water transportation along the way, it only took 270 days to reach Europe.

And these investments have also brought huge returns.

This grassland passage maintained by the Golden Horde once replaced the ancient Silk Road that passed through Central Asia and Persia because it was closer and more convenient. Commodities from the East continued to flow into the capital of the Khanate, Belgosarai, and then

Go to various parts of Europe and West Asia.

These commodities brought previously unimaginable wealth to the Khanate. Arab travelers recorded that the prosperity of this city on the steppe has surpassed that of Persia and other cities in Mesopotamia. Together with the entire Rus region, it has entered an unprecedented period of prosperity.

The era of prosperity - after this, it will probably not happen again for a long time.

Among these commodities, silk is the earliest famous. But if you look at the trading volume, the largest ones should be porcelain and ironware. Especially in maritime trade, ironware accounts for the largest proportion by weight.

Regardless of whether it is at sea or on land, the main type of ironware exported is large iron pots. The so-called Maritime Silk Road can actually be called the Iron Pot Road.

It can be said that the iron pot is the lifeblood of the Khanate.

This can be seen from many places. For example, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Shun Emperor, was named Tuohuan Temüer, which means "iron pot".

The emperor even called it an iron pot, which shows how important this thing is.

Even Tuohuan himself, the name actually means "pot".
