The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 110 Eastern European Mongolian Horse

Maybe it feels that Marin's flattery is too much. After all, there are very few monarchs who dare to openly compare themselves to gods, especially European monarchs. After all, in this era, all Europeans are religious.

Therefore, Mungojirehan modestly said:

"Your ambassador is too famous. Although Ben Khan is wise, he still dares not stand side by side with the sky..." Yes, Meng Gejirehan is also arrogant. Except for not daring to compare with the sky, all other compliments are accepted according to the order. now...

In this regard, Marin smiled in his heart - not afraid of you being arrogant, just afraid that you are not arrogant. If I'm not arrogant, how can I continue to shoot my horse?

So, Marin decided to make persistent efforts:

"Great Khan, I am far away in the northwestern border of Europe, but I have long heard of Great Khan's illustrious name!"

"Oh, what did you say about Ben Khan over there?" Mungojirehan said with great interest.

"My teacher once traveled to the Kipchak Prairie and met you, the Great Khan. He has such an evaluation of you..."

"Appreciate further details……"

"The teacher said that the Great Khan is the most prosperous emperor in martial arts he has seen in decades. Your illustrious military exploits remind him of a great hero..."

"What kind of hero can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ben Khan?" For a while, Monggojirehan's domineering side leaked... Obviously, Monggojirehan was overconfident...

"The great emperor who swept the world - Genghis Khan!" Malin spit out a great name...

Now Menggejirehan can no longer sit there and pretend, because Genghis Khan is his ancestor...

So, Mungojire Khan stood up from the throne of the Great Khan and said seriously and solemnly:

"That is the ancestor of Ben Khan, the greatest Khan in the world!" In the face of Genghis Khan's prestige, even if he was as confident as Mungojirehan, he could not calm down. Basically, in the eyes of Mongolian descendants, Genghis Khan is a god-like existence. Therefore, when it comes to Genghis Khan, Menggejirehan can't help but stand up to show respect. Moreover, he is indeed a descendant of Timur the Bald, the thirteenth son of the eldest son of Genghis Khan, Juchi.

"No wonder... No wonder... No wonder the teacher said that you look like Genghis Khan. It turns out that there is the blood of the Golden Family flowing in your veins..." Marin pretended to have a sudden realization, which made Menggejirehan very useful.

"Your ambassador, you actually know about the Golden Family?" Mungojirehan was very satisfied with Marin's performance. In particular, Marin brought up the golden family.

All along, Mungojirehan has tried every means to prove that his bloodline is noble and "ordained". But in fact, because of the mixed blood with the local white people in Eastern Europe, the bloodline of the Mongojirehan, the blood of the golden family has become thinner, and it is no longer like a Mongolian, but more like a European. Strictly speaking, now Monggojirehan can only be regarded as a side branch of the golden family.

Moreover, the rest of Europe has always been hostile to the Golden Horde, treating them as barbarians. Today, an envoy of a major European power (Menggoji Lei Khan still knows about the Hanseatic League) actually respects him so much, and he also knows the blood of the Golden Family on him, which makes Meng Ge Lei Khan very proud.

Even the Crimean nobles who were sitting in the hall of the Khan Palace showed a surprised expression. You know, many things, they may not know it. After all, the Crimean Khanate has long been green, and many Mongolian traditions have been lost.

"Yes, I know the Golden Family, the noble family sent by Changshengtian to rule the prairie. The members of this family are born to be the kings of the prairie..."

"Longevity..." For Crimea, a country of green education, many Tatar nobles, including Mungojirehan, couldn't help but sigh when they heard this ancient term.

"I think, there must be an atavism phenomenon in your bloodline, Dahan..." Marin continued to brazenly touted Mungoguire Khan.

"Atavistic phenomenon? What do you mean?" As a bunch of reckless men and scumbags,

Mungojirehan and the Tatar nobles both expressed that they did not understand...

"The phenomenon of atavism refers to the bloodlines passed down from the ancestors in the body. Originally, it should have become thinner and thinner, but due to special reasons, such as because of the will of God... it suddenly became thick..."

"Oh—" Mungojirehan and the one-pound Tatar noble nodded in understanding. In fact, they didn't understand at all...

"My teacher, who once crossed the prairie, arrived in the far east, and saw the portrait of the great Genghis Khan, and brought it back to me to show it. I found that you, Great Khan, look a lot like Genghis Khan!" Malin shameless He made a look of admiration.

On the side, Kahn brought by Marin, the corner of his mouth twitching - he has not seen such a cheap expression of Marin for a long time... Although he can't understand what Marin is saying, but from the expression, his young master I'm flattering people, and it's the kind of slapstick...

"Ah? A portrait of Genghis Khan? Have you seen it?" Meng Gere Khan was shocked. He is so big, he has never seen what Genghis Khan looks like.

Marin smiled. Will he tell Mungojirehan that there is a portrait of Genghis Khan in his elementary school history book... Moreover, he has learned to sketch and can draw a portrait of Genghis Khan. After all, the portrait of Genghis Khan in the history book has relatively simple lines and is not difficult to draw.

"I have not only seen it, but also painted a portrait of Genghis Khan!" Marin said confidently.

In his previous life, he had learned to sketch, and he also foolishly learned Da Vinci in the text, drawing eggs fiercely. Later, after crossing, Da Vinci became his subordinate and also instructed his painting skills. Therefore, Marin's current paintings are barely acceptable. Painting an oil painting may be a little off, but drawing a sketch is no problem.

"Ah? Why don't you draw the envoy quickly, so that I can wait and pay tribute!" Meng Gere Khan was a little lost. Moreover, he also wanted to see if he resembled his ancestors...

So, Marin found white paper and pencils and started painting on the spot...

However, when painting, did Marin sneak a peek at Mungoguirehan...

As for why he peeked at Mungojirehan, it wasn't that Mongojirehan was handsome, but that Marin planned to slightly change the portrait of Genghis Khan.

After all, he just blew it out, saying that Mungojire Khan "returned to his ancestors" and looked like Genghis Khan. If the drawing doesn't look like it, I will be unlucky...

So, Marin made some modifications, and painted the portrait of Genghis Khan so that it resembled Mongogiri Khan... After the painting, Marin also used the Mongolian and Tatar languages ​​he had learned from Mozhigen and Batel. The words are marked - this is Genghis Khan...

When Mungojire Khan and the nobles of the Crimean Khanate saw the portrait, everyone was shocked...

Because the portrait painted by Marin is very imposing, the portrait of Genghis Khan wrapped in a white turban and dressed in a white Mongolian robe is indeed very Mongolian. Moreover, on the face, in order to make "Genghis Khan" look like Mungojire Khan, Marin specially painted the skin color to be whiter, did not fill in the face, and made slight changes to the nose.

The result is that the Genghis Khan on the painting is indeed quite similar to Mungojire Khan...

Holding the sketch drawn by Marin, Monggojirehan was very excited and very proud. In a moment of joy, Monggojirehan directly rewarded Marin with 100 "Mongolian horses"...

In fact, the so-called "Mongolian horses" in the mouth of Monggoji Leihan are the mixed descendants of Mongolian horses and local Eastern European horses brought by Batu in the early years after the Western Expedition to establish the Golden Horde.

Its characteristics are not very similar to Mongolian horses. However, it still retains many characteristics of Mongolian horses. For example, strong endurance, suitable for expeditions; cold resistance and roughage resistance...

Although the endurance may not be comparable to the original Mongolian horse, it is much stronger than the delicate European horse. Later, the Don Horses that the Cossack cavalry rode were actually descendants of the mixed blood of Mongolian horses and local Eastern European horses.

Influenced by the ancestry of native horses in Eastern Europe, this horse is taller than the original Mongolian horse, and retains many of the advantages of the Mongolian horse's endurance, cold resistance and roughage resistance. Later Cossacks, the descendants of this Mongolian horse, conquered Siberia.

For Marin, although this Eastern European Mongolian horse is a bit small (after all, it is the descendant of Mongolian horses), it is a very good military horse because of its strong endurance, cold resistance and roughage resistance.

Even, its resistance to rough feeding is the most domineering...

You must know that the Mongols and Tatars raise horses on the grasslands, and they just graze on the grass. Only after they are selected as war horses will they have the opportunity to eat fodder. Moreover, even if it becomes a war horse, it usually eats more grass than feed.

In this way, the cost of raising Mongolian horses is very low. Unlike European war horses, although they are tall and mighty, they need to eat well every day. And European oat prices are so expensive, raising a war horse is a high expense for ordinary people. Often, a thousand-acre knight's collar can only support a few war horses.

And the Mongolian war horses, which are resistant to rough feeding, are too overbearing. People freely stock the grass without any cost. A few horses can't be seen, thousands of them, then the contrast is amazing.

Raising 10,000 European horses can cost a fortune. The cost of raising 10,000 Mongolian horses is more than half lower...

Moreover, European horses, even the pack horses used by cavalry to transfer, often need to be fed, which is very uneconomical, and the feeding cost is higher than that of Mongolian horses and Eastern European Mongolian horses (Don horses).

Therefore, it was difficult for Europeans to organize large-scale cavalry in the Middle Ages. It was not until later that the country became prosperous and strong and popularized the taxation of the whole people, that it was able to support a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people. But relying on the advantage of low feeding costs, the Mongols and Tatars can easily pull up tens of thousands of cavalry, which is very terrifying. Because of this, Crimea can bully Russia for many years by relying on its cavalry advantage...

In view of this, Marin is also very happy to get the Eastern European Mongolian Horse (Don Hippo). This kind of horse may not be suitable for plate knights to ride, but it is not too good to use it for light cavalry. First of all, the feeding cost is low, which can save a lot of costs and is also conducive to large-scale equipment.

In addition, this horse has strong endurance and is suitable for long-distance rushing, which is very suitable for the "blitzkrieg" admired by Marin. Even plate armor knights may not be able to use this small Eastern European Mongolian horse in battle, but it is an excellent choice to use as a transfer when on the road. At least, on Hurry Mountain, Eastern European Mongolian horses have much stronger endurance than European high-headed horses...

Therefore, Marin immediately "thanks", thanked Mongojirehan for his "great reward", and planned to bring these 100 Eastern European Mongolian horses back to breed...
