Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth the bottom line
It is because of the lack of strength and the dangerous situation. Even if the public education side is covered with many selfish thoughts (crusaders), Byzantine side can turn a blind eye. Watermark advertising test. Watermark advertising test
Everything is just because of strength.
The weak strength caused the Byzantines to be unable to straighten their backs, and even Boximond, in the First Crusade, met with the Byzantine Empire many times.
This was of course a huge humiliation for the Byzantines.
It would be strange if the two were intimate from beginning to end.
Of course, any national policy is related to the strength of the country. Strength determines everything!
One of the major reasons for the policy changes in the Byzantine Empire in recent years is their increased national strength.
They are no longer the same as before.
With the help of the Crusaders and decades of rest and recuperation, the strength of the Byzantine Empire has recovered rapidly. Nowadays, Byzantium has strong fists as a backing. When looking at the Crusaders, isn’t the meaning different?
John II has been seeking "rule" over the Antioch Principality in recent years. According to the principle, Antioch belongs to Byzantine, but who would spit out the fat meat that was eaten in his mouth? It even caused a great conflict between Byzantium and the Crusaders.
But the contradictions are the contradictions, but the Byzantine Empire never hopes to see the Crusaders collapse completely.
This is a perfect shield, why watch it destroy?
Although the strength of the Komuning Dynasty increased, John II never thought of defeating the Tianfang World and completely restored the glory of Byzantine heyday.
Therefore, it is better to continue to block the Eastern Front.
The First Crusade has been forty years so far.
In the past forty years, the Crusader Kingdom, which was once sharp, has now shown some decline.
The Zanji Dynasty, which occupied part of Aleppo, Haran, Mosul and Syria, threatened Jerusalem, Edessa, Tripoli and other places, but was increasing.
But both sides can't tell a winner for a while.
Imaddin Zanji had strong military capabilities, but Fulk V of Jerusalem did not give it in vain.
This seemed to be the best in the Byzantines.
None of the Crusaders and the Heavenly Kingdoms such as Zanji in the battle could become a threat to Byzantine.
The only one who can break this balance is the Seljuk people behind the Zanji Dynasty and other forces.
Byzantines have always been worried that the Seljuks would end in person.
That would make Byzantium unable to stay out of the matter anymore and fall into the mud with the Crusaders.
But now, this problem that has caused many adults in Constantinople has been completely solved.
The Song Empire's Western Expedition Army simply defeated Sanjar, which not only caused heavy losses to the Tianfang World, but also caused the authority of the Seljuk Empire to suffer a major setback.
Sanjar's current first priority is to consolidate his basic foundation, and the second priority is to restore his strength to deal with the threat from the Eastern world. The Crusaders and Byzantium are still ranked third and fourth...
"This is really beautiful." Orwitus is about to sing and dance.
"Doesido, go and call the people of the delegation quickly. I think we are going back."
Orwitus did not go back to report to John II. Byzantium had its own news channels in the Crescent Land, and the news of Sanjar's defeat would definitely not be hidden from the Byzantines.
But Orwitus believed that the Byzantine great men were certainly unable to determine how long the threat of the Song Empire in the East to the Tianfang world would last.
No matter how huge the threat is, it will be of little use if it cannot last!
The Byzantine missionaries were about to leave, and the news soon spread into the palace, and Zhao Gou had nothing to agree to.
The matter has been agreed, and it is useless for these people to continue to stay in Bianjing. And now they have arrived in Lingnan and have confirmed that the ship has indeed reached the return season.
Similarly, the two princes in the palace are approaching their eighth birthday day by day.
It's time to uncover the mystery.
Over the past year, God knows how the two princes, their mothers, and even the supporters behind them have suffered.
The answer is clearly right in front of you, but you have to be patient.
The cultural relics ministers of the Song Dynasty were not fools. Even if some people didn't see through it at the beginning, they slowly came to their senses.
The emperor revealed the news early, it depends on the human nature.
It's a pity that when some people realize something, it's hard for them to stay out of it.
At that time, many people envied Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. These two people were so favored by the emperor.
Thinking about the actions and useless achievements of the Xing family and the Pan family, it was clearly the emperor who took action to block the trouble for the Yue and Han family.
What a simplicity this is in the Emperor's heart.
Therefore, even though the characters behind the two princes were a little impatient, or they had to fight each other, they told the two princes over and over again that they must be impatient.
Never show any emotions you shouldn't have in front of your brothers!
Wouldn't such a life be hard?
Those who are involved in major events, looking at the emperor who sits firmly on Diaoyutai, will they suffer these days?
Now as time approaches, their day of relief has finally come.
"Your Majesty, why?"
Pan is somewhat unable to accept this cruel reality. Why not choose his own child?
"Erlang is handsome and brave, and His Majesty clearly likes him so much..." Why did he choose the son of Xing?
Concubine Pan compared to Zhao Gou to shape Zhao Yuan.
From behavior to personality, from hobbies to ambitions, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Gou are so similar!
"Oh!" Zhao Gou sighed.
What should I say? That's because the second brother is a bit too similar to him, Zhao Gou chose the eldest brother.
No one knows how many years he can live, but Zhao Gou knows it in his heart.
There are only two years left now!
The two children will be only ten years old by then.
The uncertainty of a successor who is too much like his is too great.
Don’t forget the lessons of the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qin's reorganization of the six kingdoms, but failed to completely merge the six kingdoms with Qin. Although the collapse of the Qin Empire was due to many reasons, it was one of them if it was too big.
Or use the Alexander Empire as an example, it is even more obvious.
The territory that Zhao Song has expanded over the years is already quite large. If you don’t have a good rest and completely digest it. If another emperor with good military strength is produced, he will continue to implement Zhao Gou’s expansion policy. Even if the Song Dynasty’s national strength can continue to build a considerable territory, such as Tianzhu and Tianfang, Zhao Gou is very confident in his heart.
Anyway, he thinks it may be that there is nothing left!
As for Zhao Yuan is still young and can be corrected in the future, Zhao Gou is a little hilarious.
It’s the age of three to look at older ages and the age of seven to look at older ages. As the saying goes, it’s not a single reason.
