    ?

    After several days of observation, Jackson discovered that the Zhen family is headed by the heroine Yu Lu.  Seeing Yu Lu severely criticize Ji Xu and Mu Yu, Jackson regretted it too much:

    Tell me, how could you offend the two important people in the Zhen family because of your blond hair!  Fortunately, today is "Jade Emperor Reception Day", so it is inconvenient for people to get angry. If it is a normal day, they will definitely find an excuse to send themselves away Jackson thought while eating, if he wants to stay in Zhen's house, he must first win Mu Yu's favor  .  Although Mu Yu is Yu Lu's nephew, he is more like the young master of the Zhen family.  Not only did Yu Lu hire a private tutor for him, but she also asked her own son to accompany him; Ji Xu couldn't afford to offend him, and I just needed someone to help me interpret "Advice for the Government"!

    [1] "The Ancestral Hall of Zhang Erzhongchen, King of Diaoyu City-Shangque" by Yang Shen. Poetry

    The river water in the fishing city is clear,

    The desolate smoke and ancient fortress are still alive;

    Ju Yang has a strong general in a hundred battles,

    Mo Di defended nine times without surrendering troops.

    I saw Mu Yu eating with her head sullen, her little face stretched so long!

    He held the bowl with one hand, and put the rice into his mouth with the other. His small ghostly eyes still sneaked a peek at Jackson from time to time, which clearly meant¡ª¡ªyou wait!

    Jackson thought to himself: Don't wait any longer, let's say something nice!  He first exclaimed, "Oh, I remembered!"

    Everyone looked at him in amazement.

    I saw him smiling and said: "Mu Yu, you are right! I, papa [father], I really ate I ate the kind of thing you said"

    Everyone stopped eating and looked up at this Western "little Biaozi [referring to silly]".

    Jackson said: "I heard from the grandma that one day in the year 1259 of the Lord's Era"

    Qingwan asked: "What year is this 1259?"

    "They are talking about the Western calendar [1]," Ji Xu said, "the so-called year of Jesus' birth is the first year of AD. This year 1259 AD is our first year of Kaiqing."

    Jackson went on to say: "That year, grandpa went out to fight, and only grandma was left at home"

    Qingwan asked: "Who is this soft father and soft mother?"

    "His grandfather and grandmother." You Gan said, "When talking at home, don't use the foreign language of 'crawl-ma-' [pa-ma-], just say grandfather and grandmother."

    Jackson said: "After several days of heavy rain, my sheep have been hungry for several days. They kept barking in the sheepfold. At noon this day, as soon as the rain stopped, my grandmother drove the flock out to graze.  During the stocking process, I could hear my father¡¯s cry all the time, so she let the sheep eat grass for a short time and then drove the flock home. When I got home, I couldn¡¯t hear my father¡¯s cry  , Grandma was very frightened, thinking that the wolf had taken it away! She threw down the whip and ran to the house desperately, and when she ran in the door, she was terrified"

    Everyone was thinking about it, but Jackson stopped talking.  He picked up the spoon, scooped up a bowl of "seafood tofu soup" and drank it slowly.

    Yu Lu asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with your father?"

    Jackson put down the bowl in his hand and said, "You asked me to say this!"

    Yu Lu urged: "Speak, speak!"

    Jackson said: "My father, from hair to heels it's all yellow"

    "Why is it Huang Chengcheng? Shouldn't it be bleeding?" Yu Lu asked anxiously, "Is your father still alive?"

    "Aren't you talking nonsense!" You Gan laughed, "If his father is dead, where did he come from!"

    "Oh, forget about this." Yu Lu asked again, "Then, why doesn't he cry?"

    "I'm full after eating shit!" At this time, Mu Yu pushed the bowl and responded, "I said just now, you don't believe it Look at brother Jack's hair this kind of yellow hair his father will definitely eat it  Not old or youngotherwise, why would he call his father 'Dad'he didn't eat 'papa'"

    Anyway, everyone had finished their meal, so they didn't shy away from anything. Hearing what Mu Yu said, the whole room couldn't help bursting into laughter.

    Seeing that both Yu Lu and Mu Yu had smiles on their faces, Jackson picked up his bowl and continued to drink his bowl of soup.

    Qingwan looked at the clear yellow seafood tofu soup in his bowl, and saw that the circle of his mouth turned yellow after eating, and a burst of nausea rushed up.  She ran out of the restaurant with a "huh", squatted on the edge of the flower bed and vomited "Wow".

    Just listening to the room, Yu Lu continued to ask: "How old was your father?"

    Jackson said: "It's only five or six months. My father was born on New Year's Day."

    "Oh, no, it's time to eat shit!" Jackson's pronunciation was not standard, Yu Lu asked again: ???Civilians all responded positively.  They wear white shirts with various colors of the Christian cross.  Therefore, it is also called the Crusades. After more than a hundred years, the Crusaders organized a total of eight Eastern Expeditions, which are collectively referred to as the Crusades by later generations.  At that time, it was called a holy war, because although the pope and the kings had the ambition to expand their territory, in the minds of the middle and lower knights and peasant soldiers at that time, this war was completely "fighting for the Lord".  This is also the earliest source of the word jihad.

    In the first Eastern Expedition (November 27, 1095-July 15, 1099), the fastest response was a group of "death squads".  Underestimate the strength of the enemy.  A total of nearly 60,000 peasants from France and Germany, under the leadership of a monk Pierre who was very good at speaking at the time, set off on the road in such a hurry.  They were poorly equipped and ragged, and they were called poor crusaders.  This army lived entirely by begging and robbing along the way, and was completely wiped out by the Turks when they got there.

    Later, the three countries organized real crusaders, mainly composed of knights from France, Germany, and Italy. The total number was only half of that of the poor crusaders, about 30,000.  But when they got there, they occupied Jerusalem and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem, leaving the Knights Templar and the Knights of Medicine to defend the new kingdom.

    But then the Turks counterattacked and nibbled back piece by piece the land occupied by the Crusaders.  The King of France and the Kaiser of Germany went out in person, and the Second Crusade (1147-1149) broke out.  The Shuangwang led the team to completely kill the Turks, but the mantis caught the cicada and the oriole followed. At this time, Saladin in Egypt was rising. The Arab army he led defeated the Crusaders and annexed the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

    ? For Westerners, the Eastern Expedition is getting more and more vigorous. If two kings can't do it, there will be three kings.  In 1189 AD, Kaiser "Redbeard", French King Philip, and British King "Lionheart" led a team to set off together. The Kaiser traveled across Asia Minor by land, and Britain and France arrived in Palestine by sea.  As a result, the Kaiser drowned while crossing the river; the King of France immediately returned home after occupying Acre Port; the King of England continued to fight and occupied Cyprus, and established a Kingdom of Cyprus, but before returning home, he felt that he could not defend it anyway.  He simply sold Cyprus to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.  This Eastern Expedition can be said to be neither lost nor won. The West has not made any new progress. The Kingdom of Jerusalem is still in the hands of the Sultan of Egypt. The tired two sides decided to negotiate a truce. The Sultan agreed to allow Christian believers to go to Jerusalem to worship through their own territory.  .

    ? After three wars, the West nominally helped Byzantium fight the enemy, and after defeating the Turks beat the Arabs, but no one considered Byzantium's feelings.  The land occupied by the Crusaders has never been returned to Byzantium, and most of the territory is now annexed by the Egyptian Sudan, and Byzantium has been messed up.

    It stands to reason that the war should be over at this point, but the enthusiasm of the West for the Eastern Expedition has not diminished, and it is no longer just for the sake of going to worship.  The pope had expanded enough to want to bring other worlds into the Christian jurisdiction system, so in 1202 he organized the Fourth Crusade.  This time I wanted to "go straight to the Yellow Dragon" and cross the Mediterranean to fight the Arab headquarters in Egypt.  But fighting across the sea requires ships to transport troops, and at that time only Venetian merchants had a large number of ships.  The Pope came forward to ask them to help transport troops, but the Venetian merchants had close trade with Egypt, and the profits were very lucrative, so they were definitely unwilling to help the Crusaders destroy Egypt, and it was not easy to refuse directly, so they called out a sky-high shipping fee.  There are two advantages to doing this. One is to make the Crusaders retreat and give up attacking Egypt;  It will be able to destroy Venice's commercial rival, the dilapidated Byzantium along the way.  Sure enough, the Crusaders changed their thinking and decided to annex Byzantium. Constantinople, which had never been occupied for thousands of years, was captured by the Crusaders under internal and external difficulties. The thousand-year-old city was burned, looted and burned by the Crusaders.  The Crusaders used this as a stronghold to establish the Latin Empire.  57 years later, the remaining Byzantine forces regained their capital.

    The purpose of the Fifth Eastern Expedition (1217-1221) was very clear, to defeat the Egyptian Sultan and retake Jerusalem.  At the beginning, due to the death of the Sultan at that time, the Crusaders were able to win a preliminary victory. When they reached Cairo, they were still defeated.  With the gain and loss of some occupied areas in the first four times, and the inability to fight against the Arabs, the will of Western countries has begun to become depressed.  Before this fifth expedition, the pope's mobilization work had already begun to be full of difficulties. After that, Britain, France and Germany went to fight each other, and the previous scene of several kings going out together could no longer appear.

    At the end of the Crusades, the Mongols, who also came from the Turkic homeland of eastern Eurasia, conquered the empires of Turks, Persia, and Arabia with the power of swallowing up the world, and eliminated the Sultanate established by the Turkic Seljuks in Asia Minor.  Only the Mamluk cavalry led by Baibars blocked the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The Mamluk cavalry led by Baibars stopped on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
