Broken Wrist (7)

Kublai Khan quietly listened to what Bu Kuimu said, all kinds of hardships in the people's livelihood and the various methods of official corruption, his face gradually turned pale, and his body slowly trembled. As a young man, he was punished for accusing the Great Khan's close vassals of corruption, so he vowed to build a relatively 'clean' Mongol empire. During the southern expedition, the corruption of the officials of the Song Dynasty often became the laughing stock of him and the generals after drinking. And now, the Mengyuan Empire he single-handedly created is darker than any other country, and the officials who follow him are more shameless. This cold but iron-clad fact, how not to shock him, to make him feel hopeless!

"When an official takes office, he must receive a ceremony for his appointment. When you are transferred, you have to receive money from the bank. When an official is promoted, the people have to pay the relevant servants hardship money, which is called "regular money", the plaintiff has to pay, which is called "Benfa money", and the defendant also has to pay, which is called "official money". If you receive money, it is called "success", if you can't receive money, it is called "bad luck", if you are transferred to a good place to be an official, it is called "good land", and if you stay in a big city, it is called "good nest". When the boss comes to inspect, he has to send the carriage and horse expenses, and if he wants to be promoted to the first level, he must not give the boss 18,000 yuan. And the money given to the boss has to be recovered from the people later. Lord Ahmad also ordered the local officials not to interfere in the affairs of the transit envoys. Those transshipment envoys have a tax amount in their bodies every year, and if they collect too much, they will be rewarded and commissioned, and if they fail to collect it, they will be punished. The transfer of the minister made Lord Zhang unable to bear to exploit the people and invite merit, so he had to hang up the seal and flee this autumn. The minister quickly went to chase after him, and he actually said to the minister that if the minister forced him again, he would commit suicide! "Don't look at Kublai Khan's face, and talk to yourself." Ordinary people worked hard for a year, but not only did they have no surplus, but in the end, they owed a lot of debts to the government and needed to sell their children and daughters to pay them off. They can't survive, so they naturally hope that someone will come to their rescue. It doesn't matter who comes, from the south or from the north! (Alcoholic's note: The unique term for Mongolian officials to collect money is found in historical books, not made up by alcoholics)

Thinking about the Great Khan's reprimand for himself, and thinking about his younger brother Ali Buge's mockery of the Great Yuan Empire before his death, Kublai Khan felt that there was a knife that stabbed him straight in the heart. A quick muscle bulged and stretched open the robe, and the iconic nose was twisted to the side of the ear.

Knowing that something was wrong, Hututmur hurriedly colored Buhu Mu and signaled him not to add fuel to the fire of the Great Khan. Who knew that Bu Humu suddenly made up his mind to admonish each other with death, and shouted unscrupulously: "State affairs are so corrupt, an official like a minister who is dedicated to the country cannot afford to eat or wear complete clothes." But Lord Ahmad had innumerable land, and every year the family had to build a new treasury to hide the silver. The wife took more than 500, more than the previous Great Khans. The Great Yuan Dynasty was hollowed out by their gang, and only a skeleton remained. That's why Wen Tianxiang was able to succeed, so people everywhere rebelled. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to kill Ahma, confiscate his family property and replenish military funds, so as to quell the rebellion in the north! (Historical facts, Ahmad had fifty wives and more than four hundred concubines.) It's a veritable stallion)

"Good, good!" Kublai Khan said a few good words one after another, and his knuckles gurgled in his fingers. Hututmur wanted to speak out, but he didn't know what to say at this moment. I only hope that the sky will get dark soon, and end this undeserved "whiteness" as soon as possible. But the sky refused to be dark, and the cold wind of late autumn blew through the surface of the bubble, with an endless chill to drill into the neck of the person.

Don't ignore the wooden words, straighten up, and straighten out the clothes. Relieved, he took a few breaths of fresh air and waited for Kublai Khan to dispose of himself. After a long while, I didn't see Kublai Khan's seizure, and when I peeked, I saw that His Majesty the Emperor instantly staggered to the stone bench next to the bubble as if he was a teenager old.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the autumn cool!" Hututmur hurriedly rushed forward and supported Kublai Khan with the eunuchs.

"It's okay, I'm not weakened to that point!" Kublai Khan said with a pun. Disperse the eunuchs, then nodded and called Buhumu to the front, and said in a calm tone: "Leave your recitals, and you can go back and continue to take office." I will give you a few pounds of gold from the inner treasury to reward you for speaking up to me today! ”

"Long live thanks!" Bu Kumu hurriedly thanked the reward and put the fold in Kublai Khan's hand. But his steps refused to move, looking into Kublai Khan's eyes, waiting for his next step.

"Do you have to force me to kill Ahmad today?" Kublai Khan smiled wearily and asked.

"Minister?" Bu Humu hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Judging from the fact that the emperor rewarded himself, he should have accepted his advice. But he left the folds, but did not take action, and his ambiguous demeanor was faintly disappointing.

Kublai Khan knew what Bu Kumu was thinking at the moment, and his demeanor was very much like his own reprimanded when he was young. He smiled and asked in a low voice, "If I kill Ahma, do you have a suitable person in mind to manage the country?" ”

"This?" Bu Humu's answer was silent for a while, and after a while, he reluctantly responded: "Lu Shirong in Hanchen, and Brother Sang, who is afraid of Wu'er, are said to be good at financial management!" ”

"Are they as incorruptible as you?" Kublai Khan nodded and continued to ask.

"The two of them? Lu Shirong was dismissed for corruption, and Master Sango also likes to receive gifts! Bu Humu hesitated for a moment and said truthfully. The disappointment in my heart suddenly turned into dissatisfaction with myself. According to the teacher, if Sora points out the problem but does not come up with a solution, it cannot be considered a good advice.

After thinking about it, Bu Humu lowered his head and said, "The minister knows that he is reckless, but seeing them destroy His Majesty's foundation, the minister is anxious every day!" ”

"You're a good boy, I didn't hurt you in vain. But we have to eat our food in one bite, and we can't choke ourselves to death because we are hungry! Kublai Khan patted Buhumu's shoulder and said earnestly, "After leaving the palace, don't mention today's events to anyone." I'll take my time to figure it out. Among us Mongols, we can't only produce generals, but also ministers and capable officials, you didn't disappoint me! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty bowed and bowed, and slowly walked into the distance. There were only two people left on the side of the Taiqing Pond, Kublai Khan and Hutut Muer, thinking about a pool of autumn water.

After being silent for a while, Kublai Khan shook his head and sighed: "The thief said that my court led beasts to eat people, and I still hated him for scolding viciously. Now it seems that I really have thousands of well-dressed beasts! ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, as far as the minister knows, not everyone is corrupt!" Hututmur hurriedly spoke out to explain to everyone. Kublai Khan was an eloquent monarch who was decisive in his dealings, but sometimes he was reckless. Once Kublai Khan suddenly became impulsive and strictly opposed to greed, I am afraid that few of the Manchu ministers will be clean.

"They follow me to fight the country, and I can't help but let them get some dividends. Otherwise, who would want to work with me. But they don't know the end, and they can't help but overestimate my patience. Ahma's business, you keep an eye on it, we can't touch him now. Otherwise, there will be no one to raise money and food for me to deal with the north. Kublai Khan shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty has to withdraw his troops from the south?" Khuttemur heard some clues from Kublai Khan's words and asked tentatively. He didn't think it was a good idea. On that day, Kublai Khan personally promised Zhang Hongfan to provide him with a stable rear. Now, the battle has only been fought for a few months, and the emperor cannot go back on his word. Besides, when everyone went south to attack the Song Dynasty, it didn't take months or even more than ten months to gnaw on a hard bone, and sometimes it took three or five years to fight for a city, which was not too long.

"It's so easy to withdraw, they said it simply. How many things does a word repetition involve? How many people are going to lose their heads for this? Kublai Khan shook his head and sighed.

Hutut Mur was silent, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that withdrawing troops from the south may not be as simple as a temporary victory or defeat. The Mongolian ministers would think that the old man was useless and would find trouble with Zhang Hongfan. The kings of Saiwai also recognized the fact that the Great Yuan was weak. And Chen Yizhong once took the initiative to surrender, willing to use the remnants of the Song Dynasty to replace Dayuan with his grandchildren to guard the land of Yanzhang in Guangnan. The Mongols and Semu people in the Dayuan court all agreed with the peace, believing that the two roads in Guangnan had been a place for distributing prisoners since ancient times, and it was not worth using heavy troops at all. However, the Hanchen did not agree, with Shi Tianze's eldest son Shi Ge as the leader, and jointly negligent Bi Lie, analyzed the situation in the world for it, and determined that the poor would be chased.

If the army is withdrawn from the south at this time, Wen Tianxiang is not Chen Yizhong, and he will definitely not let the remnant Song give Dayuan as a grandson. Now Liangzhejiang has been beaten by literary thieves, and Jiangxi has become a den of bandits. The Great Yuan soldiers and horses withdrew, and the Broken Army would definitely take advantage of the situation to regain the lost ground. After several defeats, Zhang Hongfan could not escape the responsibility, Dachun could not escape punishment, and even those who wrote to Kublai Khan to destroy the Song Dynasty would be attacked by the Mongolian officials.

In the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian, Han, and Semu officials were like the three legs of a stool, and any one missing was troublesome.

"But if I don't make some concessions, Echitsatra and Sariman and the others won't break with me. Maybe I'll stab me in the back, it's hard! Kublai Khan continued to shake his head, his brow tightly furrowed. He knew that Hututmur was limited, and he didn't expect this person to help him with anything. It's just that when you are in trouble, having such a loyal courtier by your side to listen to yourself will reduce the depression in your heart.

"Your Majesty, why don't you try Dong Xiang's last strategy!" Hututmur was unwilling to play the role of a mediocre minister who was unable to worry about the king, thought for a while, and said.

"You said that the Mongol army went south and the Han army went north?" Kublai Khan's eyes widened and he asked, then quickly shook his head, "No, no, I don't want to do this again." Brother confused, you also know when you broke the forest, dozens of miles of road was sprinkled with the blood of our Mongolians! ”

"But if it's not, why should the enemy stand in the way. Now the Mongol armies have no desire to fight, and the ministers of the court and China are half-hearted. As for the killing, Nayan will show us mercy when he kills him? And, if there are respectable people in the army, killing can still be avoided! Huttum said loudly. And the slaughter of the forest is the only thing that Kublai Khan did in the first half of his life to be painful to his relatives and happy to his enemies. To a certain extent, this massacre directly severed the connection between the Great Yuan Empire and the Mongol khanates in the Western Regions, so that the two groups of people no longer became one. They no longer support each other, but hate each other.

Naiyan rebelled, and the enemies in the eastern Liaodong region could not stop it and surrendered one after another. It is not so much because of the lack of combat effectiveness, but rather because the two sides are unwilling to kill each other within a nation.

Therefore, in this case, Dong Wenshan's last policy is the most available. The Han army marched north, not giving sympathy to the Mongol army and the local rebels. There is an excellent general in command, with a heap of numbers, enough to bulldoze the north. The Mongolian army has rich combat experience, and it has moved south, relying on its mobility and soldiers' combat effectiveness, even if it can't calm Fujian in one go, it can still press Wen Tianxiang in his nest and can't get out. But the Mongol army would not show mercy to the Han people, and wherever they passed, they would be burned to the ground. Similarly, the Han army after the bloody battle will not be soft on the northern Mongols.

"Restrain the armies, restrain the armies. Confused, don't you know that the so-called emperor is a blind man riding on the back of a stubborn donkey, who can only be dragged forward, but he can't decide the direction? Kublai Khan smiled bitterly and said. Carefully weighed Hututmur's words, thought about what Dong Wenshan played at that time, and asked in a low voice: "Dong Da sacrificed the gunpowder recipe that day, how did we make it?" ”

When it came to specific things, Hututmur's reaction speed suddenly increased a lot, and without thinking about it, he blurted out a string of numbers. "I made more than 400,000 catties, and I originally wanted to send it to Jiuba together with dozens of imitation copper cannons. Now, I think it could be used for something else! ”

"Is there anyone in the Guards who is good at handling artillery?" When Kublai Khan heard the sharp weapon in his hand, his mood was lifted, and his voice also increased a few points.

"They practiced every day in the wasteland around Tongzhou. Spread to each gunner, more than twenty shells were consumed. It should be refined. It's just that there is no general who is familiar with artillery warfare, and I don't know if it can exert its maximum power on the battlefield! ”

"What about Ali Hague and Arakhan, the two wastes were bombarded with artillery and half dead, they can't fight, so you always know why they are beaten. You draw up a decree for me, let them hand over the remnants of the army to Dachun, and return to Beijing as soon as possible! Kublai Khan suddenly had an idea and commanded loudly.

"Yes!" When Hututmur saw that Kublai Khan was reinvigorated again, he was overjoyed and agreed loudly.

"Don't be busy, you will draw up another will for me, gather the Mongolian army in Zhongshu Province, as well as Shanxi and Henan, and let them meet in health and be ready to go south at any time!" Kublai Khan continued to order, and a general idea of how to deal with the immediate crisis slowly came to his mind.

"Yes!" Hututmur agreed loudly and asked the eunuch to quickly get a pen and paper and record Kublai Khan's dictations one by one.

"Decree, reward Jiubadu for the merit of capturing Yashan, let him hand over the front-line military power to Dachun, come back to me, I have a big task to him!"

"Your Majesty?" The pen in Hututmur's hand paused and asked hesitantly.

"Zhulu of Zhongshu Province, Shaanxi Province, and all parts of the north, except for those who fought with Boyan, all the Han army and the Tanma Red Army converged in Dadu. Summoned all the guards, except for those who followed Jade Timur, the rest went to Dadu to converge. If it does not happen after one month, it will be punished as the crime of delaying the military aircraft! Kublai Khan ignored Khuttumur's questioning and continued.

"I tell the world that I am commanded by heaven and will not be coerced by any heresy. Whoever believes in Christ but colludes with Nayan to interfere in the affairs of the world, kill! Kublai Khan patted the stone case, stood up, and shouted loudly in the autumn wind: "I will personally fight Naiyan in a decisive battle, and order Jade Timur to command all the Mongol and Tanma Red armies, and Zhang Hongfan to command all the Han troops." Ali Hague and Arakhan were well versed in artillery warfare, and I allowed them to make meritorious contributions to their crimes and command artillery divisions. Didn't Li Guida, Da Chun and Jiuba, who surrendered, say that he has great talent, so let him work with Ali Hague and Arakhan to operate the cannon for me. I want people to see who is the hero in this world! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Hututmur praised loudly, admiring Kublai Khan's adaptability and broad-mindedness.

In the name of the critical situation of the war, Zhang Hongfan was summoned from the south to the north, that is, Kublai Khan did not break his previous promise, nor did he say that the southern attack on the remnants of the Song Dynasty was a complete failure. As for Dachun, with his intelligence, he should know how to stabilize the line of defense and hold out until the day when the crisis in the north is completely resolved.

"Itchechara, Saliman, a few of them, you will meet them privately, don't say more, just tell them that I will not lose to Nayan. They are smart people who know how to repay me! Kublai Khan glanced at Khuttu Mur and calmly ordered.

In an instant, the excitement on his face was replaced by sadness, and his voice gradually turned low: "Everyone is Mongolian, it's rare to fall, will Naiyan treat them well?" Maybe they take a step back, after you have dealt with everything, go to see Liu Shen on my behalf, and say that I know that I am very sorry for him! ”

"Yes, Your Honor!" Hututmur agreed, and ink flowed down the nib, obliterating a large piece of paper.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Three days later, after listening to Hututmur's words, Liu Shen knelt down in the direction of the palace and saluted. That night, Liu Shen, the deputy marshal of the Han army, died of a violent illness in the house, and there was no last word on his deathbed.

The Mongol, Han, and Tanma Red armies, mighty, drove along the official road to the capital.

Alcoholic's note: In history, the Naiyan rebellion occurred in the twenty-fourth year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty (1286?), in this battle, the Mongol army was unwilling to fight, and Kublai Khan mobilized more than 500,000 Han troops before and after to defeat Naiyan and others. Afterwards, all the Mongols who might have had something to do with Naiyan were sent to various parts of Jiangnan.
