Chapter 214: Capable Minister Aksuhe

Yin Linna, formerly known as Princess Piroshka, is the daughter of King Laszlo I of Hungary.

She learned from her mother that her father assisted her uncle Gaius I to become the king of Hungary. In 1077, her uncle died, and her two cousins ​​- Kalman, the illegitimate son of Gaius I and his Greek mistress, and his wife's daughter-in-law.

Almos was still young. Nobles from all over the country elected his father as king, who was Laszlo I.

Throughout his life, my father fought in both the south and the north, completely defeating his previous biggest enemy - his cousin and former King of Hungary, Karman; he defeated the Pechenegs and Cumans in Transylvania, ensuring that

Securing the eastern border; conquering most of Croatia...

The father only had one daughter and no heirs, so he could only choose an heir from his nephew. According to tradition, he made his second cousin Almos the Duke of Croatia and was determined to be the heir.

His eldest cousin Kalman refused to accept the order to become a monk and ran to Poland. There, he won the support of the Supreme Duke of Poland, Władysław I, and also had a close relationship with the later Grand Duke of Poland, Władysław.

I's son Boleslaw III formed a friendship.

In 1096, his father died while participating in the First Crusade.

With the support of the Poles and the wooing of nobles from all over the country, Kalman was crowned King of Hungary in Szekesfehérvár. At the same time, his second cousin Almoš was made Grand Duke and gave up one-third of the country.

Cousin Kalman had a quick mind and clever methods. He quickly conquered the remaining Dalmatia region of Croatia. In order to ease the relationship with the powerful country in the east - the Eastern Roman Empire, he decided to marry himself to His Majesty.

In 1105, Kalman's cousin crowned his four-year-old son Yinshtevan as deputy king and confirmed him as the heir. His second cousin Almosh, who had been looking forward to the arrival of his brother, was completely disappointed and began to rebel.

Almos first asked for help from Henry IV of the Holy Roman Empire, but this man was at war with his son Henry V and had no time to care. Almos then ran to Poland, borrowed troops from Boleslaw III, and captured

Obaouyinvar, an important town in the north.

But Kalman's cousin soon restored the friendship with Boleslaw III, and at the same time sent troops to help Boleslaw III defeat his brother Zbigniew. Since then, Poland has become Kalman's cousin.

Brother's staunchest supporter.

In 1107, Almosh's cousin went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and Kalman's cousin took the opportunity to confiscate his principality.

Almos's cousin moved to Passau, and received the help of Henry V, the victor of the civil strife in the Holy Roman Empire, who sent troops to siege Pressburg in September 1108.

At the same time, Duke Svatopluk of Bohemia responded to Henry V's call and invaded Hungary's territory north of the Danube River. Boleslaw III suddenly sent troops to Bohemia, and Svatopluk had to retreat.

.

Henry V withdrew his troops because he could not capture Pressburg for a long time. During the tripartite talks, Henry V asked his cousin Kalman to forgive his cousin Almosh and allow him to return to the country.

At that time, everyone was exhausted from fighting for several years, so they settled down as soon as they could. However, after a few years, cousin Almosh was unwilling to give in and started making trouble again.

Cousin Kalman took the trouble and simply ordered cousin Almosh and his son to be blinded.

Cousin Almosh was imprisoned in a monastery, and cousin Bela escaped to Constantinople with the help of some people.

In 1116, his cousin Kalman died, and his son, his cousin Instivan II, came to the throne. And Bela gradually grew up.

From the bottom of her heart, Yin Linna must be close to her cousin Bela, who was brought up by her, and she also hopes to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish and ascend the throne of the King of Hungary - this throne originally belonged to her father, and Yin Linna felt that she had the right to participate in the disposal.

.

But Yin Linna also knew that this involved the foreign policy of the Eastern Roman Empire. Her father-in-law Alexius I played an important role in the ability of Bella, who was only four years old, to escape to Constantinople.

He has his own card - the identity of the daughter of the former King of Hungary and the aunt of the current King of Hungary is enough to allow the Eastern Roman Empire to intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Now that her husband has ascended the throne as emperor, his close friend Aksukh has even more profound plans for Hungary - this guy who traveled to the Eastern Song Dynasty and returned has become unfathomable, and even his father-in-law Alexius I was obsessed with it.

Impressed.

Yin Linna glanced at her husband who was talking to Bella, and then at her youngest son who was working hard and eating preserved fruits from the state of Song. She felt a little complicated.

After Aksuhe returned to China, he became the assistant left minister to his husband, who was only the deputy emperor at the time. He selected a group of young men with slave backgrounds for his husband to form a Lizi camp.

At the same time, a group of outstanding young men were selected from the sons of middle and low-level officers to form the official camp.

Aksuhe persuaded her husband to spend time in these two military camps every day, studying and training with these outstanding young men. Over time, these people of varying status all regarded her husband as their most trustworthy brother.

That year, the Song Dynasty's advance army for the Western Expedition was like a powerful pack of wolves, turning Persia, Lianghe and Asia Minor upside down.

Aksukh persuaded her husband to recruit poor people and low-level soldiers with the Liziying and Guanziying as the backbone, and formed a new army, which he trained.

The Armenian Kingdom of Chia, the three largest forces on the Asia Minor Peninsula, was crippled by the Song army and had a God-given opportunity to personally go out to conquer the old territory.

The husband defeated the defeated armies of the Sultanate of Rum, the Sultanate of Cappadocia, and the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and completely eliminated their remaining forces in Asia Minor.

Occupying Trabzon, an important port on the Black Sea - it is the main route connecting the Black Sea region to Asia Minor, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Persia. It is very rich. With it, the husband is equivalent to owning a gold mine.

Then the husband led the new army to defeat the Azerbaijanis and Armenians who wanted to fill the gap in Asia Minor; and then defeated the coalition forces of Edessa, Tripoli, and Antioch, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and forced the Archduke of Antioch, Bohemond II

He surrendered to the Eastern Roman Empire and occupied most of the Earl of Edessa.

Baldwin II, Count of Edessa, who was severely defeated by the Song army, succeeded his cousin Baldwin I as King of Jerusalem - Baldwin I took over the throne from Baldwin II's brother.

Baldwin II ran to Jerusalem and passed the title of Count of Edessa to his brother-in-law, Josephine I. However, the main force of the Count of Edessa was wiped out by the Song army, and its vitality was severely damaged.

As the King of Jerusalem and the co-leader of the Christian forces on the east coast of the Mediterranean, Baldwin II requested Antioch and Tripoli to send troops to help the County of Edessa tear off a piece of flesh from Asia Minor and help it regain its strength.

As a result, he not only lost most of the territory of the County of Edessa, but also caused the prestige of Edessa, Tripoli, and Antioch to plummet.

However, her husband became famous and gained great reputation in the Eastern Roman Empire and the Christian world.

Father-in-law Alexius I hoped that his husband John I would succeed to the throne, but his mother-in-law, Queen Irina, preferred that his eldest daughter Anna Komneno and her husband Nikephorus Briannius the Younger should inherit the throne.

Come and take over.

On August 15, 1118, Yin Linna clearly remembered that day. Her father-in-law Alexius I was dying in the monastery. Her mother-in-law, Queen Ilina, controlled the palace guards and attendants, isolated the inside and outside, and insisted on passing the throne to her eldest daughter.

The situation at that time was very critical. When everyone was extremely anxious and at a loss, Aksukh stepped forward!

You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
