Ten Burg Castle in the Wadden Islands, two very special people came today. Because, these two people have oriental faces...
It turned out that these two were two of the Mongolian doctors recruited by the newly promoted Teutonic Grand Commander Philip in the Golden Horde...
At the beginning, when Marin left the Teutonic Kingdom, he asked Philip to send someone to the court of the Golden Horde to hire a court doctor to treat his aunt Tana. So Philip complied.
Unexpectedly, after the people sent by Prince Philip arrived at the court of the Golden Horde, the recruitment went very smoothly...
It turns out that the Great Horde, the remaining main body of the Golden Horde, is now in a precarious situation. Its neighbors have now become its enemies. Among them, the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the two former subordinates, are the closest to the Great Horde, and they most hope that the Great Horde will perish. And the Nogai Khanate in the north is also encroaching on the few remaining territories of the Great Horde Khanate.
In such a situation of internal and external troubles, people in the Golden Horde are also in panic. Even the imperial physicians haven't been paid for a long time.
Therefore, when Prince Philip's people came to the court of the Golden Horde to recruit doctors, many of the former imperial physicians were willing to sign up. The condition is very simple, that is, the whole family must immigrate...
During this period, many people have already seen that the Golden Horde cannot last for a few years. If the Golden Horde is destroyed, these imperial doctors will be at a loss. Taking advantage of someone coming to solicit, many imperial physicians simply decided to run away early...
Therefore, Prince Philip's men, who originally planned to recruit only two Mongolian doctors, met a bunch of imperial physicians from the Golden Horde who were looking for jobs...
In the end, Prince Philip's subordinates selected 10 Mongolian doctors with the best medical skills according to the guidance of the local people...
The two oriental-looking Mongolian doctors that Prince Philip gave to Marin are actually one of the best Mongolian doctors. However, the two of them were not very old, they were only in their early forties, they were considered young among court doctors.
After Prince Philip recruited 10 court doctors, he selected the two oldest and second-best Mongolian doctors as his royal Mongolian doctors, and at the same time helped Marin's aunt to see a doctor. As for the remaining 8 Mongolian doctors, he distributed four to his subordinates, sent two back to his elder brother, and sent two to his important ally Marin. Of course, the family members of these Mongolian doctors were accompanying them.
When Prince Philip selected Mongolian doctors, he selected them according to their age and their original official positions. The two oldest Mongolian doctors were senior medical officers of the former Golden Horde Khan royal family, and their medical skills were naturally good. So, Prince Philip did not pick the wrong person.
It's just that the two Mongolian doctors sent to Marin have a special identity...
One of them is named Mozhigen, and the other is named Bateer. They are absolutely authentic Mongolian doctors and purebred Mongolians. Moreover, they moved from the Mongolian steppe to Eastern Europe...
Because they moved from their hometown in Mongolia two years ago, although they joined the Tai Hospital, they had to start from the bottom, so their status was naturally not high. But in fact, their medical skills are not inferior to those of the two oldest medical officers...
It turned out that the Mongolian tribe where Mozhigen and Battelle belonged to was a vassal of the Chahar tribe, the largest tribe in Mongolia. But many years ago, their tribe participated in the siege of Borjijin Bayanmengke, the father of the current Mongolian Great Khan Dayan Khan, resulting in the death of Borjijin Bayanmengke.
After Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne, in those years, he continued to exert strength and was unable to retaliate. But in the past few years, Dayan Khan has accumulated enough strength to take revenge on those tribes who once besieged the Chahar headquarters.
The small tribe where Mozhigen and Bateer belonged was also defeated by Dayan Khan, and the important members of the tribe were also hunted down by Dayan Khan.
Mo Zhigen and Battelle are brothers, and their father was an important member of Dayan Khan's father who killed Dayan Khan's father. Therefore, the two brothers are also on Dayan Khan's killing list.
In desperation, the two brothers took their families and fled to Oirat Mongolia in the west, lingering on their last days. But I didn't expect that Dayan Khan was very vigorous, and Oirat Mongolia was also defeated steadily.
The two brothers didn't like it, so they took their families and continued to flee westward...
They drove the large tent carts that the Mongols migrated, and followed the caravans that went to several khanates in the west to do business, crossed the Kazakh prairie, came to Eastern Europe, and joined the royal court of the once famous Golden Horde Khanate. With skilled Mongolian medical skills, he joined the Imperial Medical Office of the Golden Horde and became an ordinary court doctor.
But unexpectedly, the situation in the Golden Horde has been bad in recent years, and the brothers also know that they have fallen into a trap, so they are also looking for opportunities to leave. When Prince Philip sent someone to recruit Mongolian doctors, they signed up decisively...
At this time, the Golden Horde was in chaos and panic. As for the collective escape of the 10 imperial physicians, no one came to stop them. It can be seen how chaotic the Golden Horde has become at this time.
In fact, the Golden Horde has become more Eastern European at this time. The people of the Golden Horde have been mixed with the local Slavs for several generations for hundreds of years, and their appearance has been Eastern European.
The 10 Mongolian doctors, apart from the brothers Mozhigen and Bateer who came from the east, the other 8 Mongolian doctors all have the faces of Eastern Europeans, but they still retain some Mongolian traditions in their serving habits.
Of course, these people also have their specialties. For example, because they have lived in Eastern Europe for many generations, their herbalism has fully integrated local herbs and no longer relies on oriental varieties of herbs.
In the past two years, the reason Mo Zhigen and the Battelle brothers have not made their mark is that they are learning the use of Eastern European herbal medicine from these native Mongolian doctors. Of course, they also need to learn the local language, the Europeanized native language.
Fortunately, the official language of the Golden Horde is still Mongolian, otherwise, it would be even more difficult for the two to confuse. However, once they left the Golden Horde, the two were a little confused.
Because, in the Teutonic country, they do not understand the language of the locals. And the other 8 doctors, because they are natives of Eastern Europe, basically speak the local language. Even, two of them speak German quite well.
The reason for this is that the Golden Horde has always been an enemy of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The Teutonic Knights are also deadly enemies with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the "Battle of Lake Chud" broke out between the two sides. The Teutonic Knights also had contacts with the Golden Horde, hoping to deal with the Grand Duchy of Moscow together. It's just that the Teutonic Knights stopped thinking about forming an alliance when they saw that the Golden Horde was also down and out, even more unlucky than themselves. However, the exchanges between the two countries have not been interrupted, mainly among the people. Therefore, many people from the Golden Horde have also learned the German language that is circulated in the Teutonic Kingdom, and there are also some crappy Mongolian doctors who have mixed in the Teutonic Kingdom. For example, the Mongolian doctor who treated Aunt Marin before.
Poor brothers Mozhigen and Battelle, although they are highly skilled in medicine, they cannot speak the language, and their appearance is pure oriental—a Mongolian bearded man looks more like a gangster than a doctor. So, Prince Philip doesn't want to see them. Thinking of the importance Marin attached to the Mongolian doctor, he simply gave it to Marin, and let Marin pick up a bargain...
In fact, the medical skills of the two are still very good. When treating diseases, although the medical methods of the Mongolian doctor are a bit harsh, they are absolutely effective. For example, in terms of bone setting, the level of Mongolian doctors is definitely the top. Because Mongolians all ride horses, many people fall off their horses every year and get injured or disabled. This has led to the fact that Mongolian doctors have seen and dealt with such injuries too much. Therefore, falls from horseback are the most common ailments of Mongolian doctors. Even, it is said that in the Qing Dynasty, there were ministers who almost broke their brains and were cured roughly by Mongolian doctors...
Also, Doctor Mongolia is an excellent veterinarian. Those rough methods might be a bit scary when dealing with people, but they are very practical when dealing with animals. Especially in the care of horses, Mongolian doctors are absolutely unparalleled in the world. Marin once heard that after Huang Taiji conquered Mongolia, he hired a large number of Mongolian doctors as veterinarians to manage the horses, which reduced the non-war damage of the horses to the extreme...
Of course, Mongolian doctors will also treat people. At least, they are much better than the current bloodletting doctors in Europe. Therefore, Marin decided to temporarily let these two goods act as his court doctor and part-time veterinarian to help him take care of the horses.
For a long time after that, Marin handed over the lives of the people and horses in the castle to Mozhigen and Battelle, two rough-looking Mongolian doctors who treated them equally rough...
