Broken wrist (5)

In the autumn and September of the second year of Song Xiangxing (1279, the Yuan era was the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty), the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in civil strife, and the chief of the Mongolian kings in the host province rebelled, erected a cross flag, and claimed to be entrusted to God. The army reached Liaoyang, besieged the city without attacking. Missionary James was sent into the city to discuss Bible stories with the armies. Liaodong Dao consolation made Koriji confused his words and led the Mongol army in the city to surrender. Liu Wenzhong, a thousand households of the Han army, refused to stoop to the enemy and was killed.

Since then, it has been a big face. Within half a month, it swept through Liaodong, and the kings of the host country joined one after another. The Liaodong Commanders' Commands and Wanhu Mansions also succumbed to their military might.

At the end of September, Naiyan and Hazar (Genghis Khan's brother) and the queen of Wang Shi Duer, the queen of Hechiwen (Genghis Khan's brother) Wang Sheng Nahar, and the queen of Beligutai, Hadan Ballugan, and others allied on the bank of the Troubled River, vowed to restore the covenant between Genghis Khan and the Mongols, rebuild the Great Hulitai, and jointly promote the Ming Lord.

In the inscription issued to the world, Naiyan reiterated Genghis Khan's oath on the bank of the Troubled River, "The elder brothers and younger brothers have negotiated and decided, take the world, divide the land, and share the wealth." He denounced Kublai Khan's disrespect for Mongol traditions, his self-proclaimed khan, and his defeat and poisoning of Ali Buge Khan, who had been elected by the Great Kuritai. It is believed that he favored Hanchen, changed the ancestral system in vain, and led foreign races to encroach on the interests of the Mongols; and was immoral and incompetent, stole the authority of the Great Khan, drove millions of troops, but could not swallow even a small Southern Song Dynasty, fell into the name of the Mongols in a hundred battles, and lost the face of the Golden Family.

The text said that now, under God's guidance, Naiyan and others will lead the Mongols of the world back to the right path. It is necessary to build a Christian nation in which God has the same place in the East and the West. As for the position of the Great Khan, Nayan and the others vacated it. In his crusade against Kublai Khan, he solemnly promised that after the "suppression of rebellion", the descendants of the golden family with prestige and talent would be elected by the new Great Kuritai, and the new Great Khan would be crowned by God's spokesman himself, so that he could combine God's grace with the glory of the world. (Note to alcoholics: Historically, this rebellion took place six years later, under the banner of the Cross, and many Nestorians participated.) ）

When the kings of the northwest heard the news, they also raised troops to respond, and for a time, the smoke of gunpowder rose on the grassland, and the world shook.

The world could not help but shake, and Naiyan in Liaodong joined forces with Haidu in the northwest, and the total number of soldiers and horses on both sides exceeded 200,000. This is 200,000 genuine Mongolian troops, the elite of the world. Back then, Genghis Khan swept through the Western Regions and conquered the Jin, Western Xia, and Huazimo kingdoms, but he didn't bring more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. Batu Khan marched westward, from the northern steppes to the banks of the Danube, slaughtering more than 40 countries along the way, relying on only 20,000 Mongolian iron horsemen.

Even in the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, there was no case where 200,000 Mongol troops went into battle at the same time. Although in the battle of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Empire often claimed to be one million, but most of the Han army, the Tanma Red Army and the new annex army that escorted grain and grass equipment on the side, waved flags and shouted, and the number of regular Mongolian troops never exceeded 100,000.

Now, however, 200,000 Mongols are attacking from the east and west. Break Quang Ninh in the east and Daning in the next. Xikesu Prefecture, Duo and Lin. If it weren't for the autumn flood, Yuxi Timur and Boyan were guarding the Luan River and the Yellow River, and the rebels' horns would be heard in the capital.

The bustling and peaceful capital was in turmoil, and people of all ethnic groups who had fled from the north crowded with cheap shelters such as temples, Taoist temples, and city gates. Merchants were cut off, and prices skyrocketed. The merchant, who was plainly dressed and eager to put all his possessions on his body, quietly changed his robes and shoes, and prepared to run south. Some Han, Jurchen, and Khitan tycoons began to quietly transfer their family property to the countryside. Even the Mongols, who had the most confidence in Kublai Khan, secretly prepared fast horses, and saddles and stirrups did not leave the horse's back day and night.

Under the nest, there will be no eggs. When the real soldiers burned, it was not clear to distinguish between the Mongols and the Han Chinese. Wars on the steppes have always been unmerciful, and the slaughter of cities is commonplace, even when the Mongols conquer their cities. Thinking that the Great Khan broke through Helin and faced the subjects of his own brother Ali Buge, the army did not seal the sword for several days. Now the situation is reversed, once Naiyan breaches Dadu, the city must have the same result as Kublai Khan's capture of Horin.

The people were in turmoil, and the ministers in the imperial city were even more restless day and night. The DPRK meeting was held for three days in a row, but no appropriate response measures were come up. The only prime minister who could suppress the ministers was dragged by the rebels on the bank of the Yellow River, and the left prime minister Hututmur had little qualifications, and his knowledge and ability were far from Boyan, and Weide could not convince the public. The contradictions between the Mongolian, Han, and Semu ministers broke out at this critical moment. Regardless of the urgency of the situation in the north, the important Mongolian ministers led by Itchechara, Sariman and others put all the blame in front of them on the head of Zhang Hongfan, who was fighting hard with Wen Tianxiang in Fujian, believing that if Jiuba had not failed to live up to the grace of the gods, the million-strong army had been abroad for a long time and had made no achievements, causing the northern defense to be empty, and Nayan and Haidu would not have a chance to take advantage of it.

The ministers of the Semu system, led by Ahma, Said and others, took the opportunity to fall into the ground, not only experienced Zhang Hongfan's tyrannical and domineering in the south, resulting in the annihilation of Ali Hague and Arakhan's entire army, and other mistakes in the use of troops, but also brought out the old story of Liu Shen's invasion of farmland in the south and connivance with his subordinates to kill the people.

The common view of the ministers of the two factions was that since Naiyan and Hai both attacked the Great Khan for being too indulgent to the Han people in their inscriptions, the imperial court had to take some practical action to stop the world. Now following Haidu and Naiyan are all Mongol warriors who have been bewitched by them, and even if the court wins, it will greatly hurt the vitality of the Mongols. It is better to take some action and make some sacrifices to appease the Mongol tribes and ease the current situation.

Of course, these victims were neither Mongols nor Semu.

When you heard this, you immediately jumped up and retorted. thinks that at this moment, Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang are not divided, and the imperial court will replace Zhang Hongfan at this time, which just confirms the rumors that Naiyan is in the text and thinks that the imperial court has been invincible. Moreover, the Han ministers led by Liu Mengyan, Ye Li, and Zhao Mengfu also pointed out with reason that the reason for the rebellion in the north was mainly caused by Ahma and others wantonly misappropriating the money and grain promised by the imperial court to the kings. In particular, Ye Li took out the ability to impeach Jia Nidao when he was in the Southern Dynasty, and impeached Ahma as an important minister for the country's financial management, but he wantonly filled his pockets. At present, the taxes added to the heads of the people in the Great Yuan Dynasty have been three times that of the Song Dynasty, so that the people have worked hard for a year, and they still can't pay the taxes, and the homes of ordinary officials have no overnight food. But even with this expropriation, the amount of money allocated to the "Great Ulus" (the property of the Golden Family) is decreasing every year. Mobei is bitterly cold, and many families who have followed generations of Han people to fight the world rely on the court's rewards to live, and in recent years, the court's rewards are not in place, which naturally forces them to take risks. (Drunkard's note: The Great Ulus was a spoil-sharing system pioneered by Genghis Khan, similar to the joint-stock companies of later generations)

Naiyan said in the text that these were the responsibilities of the Han system and the Han Chen, but in fact, this responsibility should be borne by Ahmad and his envoys.

As soon as Ye Li's words were finished, he immediately received the approval of many people. Most of them were Han ministers, and there were also a few Mongolian courtiers with relatively upright temperaments. Among them, the deputy envoy of Hebei Province to probe Buhumu happened to return to the dynasty and was appointed by Kublai Khan. He impeached Ahmad for "being unbridled and corrupt, forming a party for personal gain, bribing goods at home, and demonstrating and punishing him externally." Only collect money, do not know how to cherish the people! "I think that at this moment, the reason why the south has been fighting for a long time, the north is in rebellion, and there are groups of thieves in various parts of the Central Plains are all caused by the greed of this Lord Pingzhang. Please Kublai Khan immediately make a decision, kill Ahma, and confiscate his family property. Recruit strong men with its financial resources to appease the Mobei tribes. Adopt both soft and hard means to quickly put down the rebellion.

As soon as a few words came out, a buzzing sound immediately sounded underneath. Buhumu is the same disciple and friend of the prince Zhenjin, and both of them studied under the great Confucian Xu Heng. To some extent, his position represents the views of the younger generation of Mongolian families. Some of the Mongols, who had originally targeted the Han ministers, thought that Buhumu's move had been instructed by the crown prince Zhenjin or even higher-ups, and when they saw the wind and rudder, they immediately changed the object of condemnation to Ahma.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ahma hurriedly gave his cronies a look. Zhongshu provincial officials Hao Zhen, Said, Geng Ren, and Tuhuanchar jumped out one after another to defend Ahma. This struggle transcended ethnic boundaries and turned into a chaotic struggle between the Mongols, Han Chinese, and Semu ministers. Annoyed, Kublai Khan was furious, and ordered several low-ranking but very happy courtiers to be dragged out, tied to a tree outside the Golden Palace, and whipped twenty lashes.

With a whip down, the leaders of the various factions relented. But for a while, he couldn't change his mind to how to deal with the rebellion outside the Cypriots. Annoyed, Kublai Khan had no choice but to dissipate the dynasty, and even the links of deliberations with important ministers such as Hutut Mur, Ahma, and Liumengyan were also saved.

Early the next morning, the court meeting continued. This time, the ministers of each side no longer blamed each other, but each talked about their own plans. The minister of the Han system suffered a small loss yesterday, and in order to regain the decline, he took the lead in jumping up and playing the book. Zhao Mengfu personally went out to relay the daily actions and loyalty to Dayuan of Liu Wenzhong, the only officer who died in the imperial court in the Battle of Liaoyang. It is believed that at this time, the imperial court should issue an order to commend the loyal and righteous, not only to reward Liu Wenzhong, but also to those soldiers who died in the battle against the Broken Army, whether it is the Mongol army, the Tanma Red Army, the Han Army, or the New Annexed Army, should be greatly commended. Through this means, the people involved in the rebellion were made aware that their actions in following Nayan's back were disloyal and unjust, thus shaking Nayan's military morale. As for the 200,000 troops that came from the east and west, Zhao Fuzi thought that there was no need to make a fuss, as long as the imperial court cleared their walls and did not let them attack any big cities. Soon, a harsh winter is coming, and they will naturally break apart after plundering without supplies. At that time, the imperial court sent another general to lead the troops and clean them up separately.

This method naturally did not win the approval of the Mongol ministers, and in addition to the selfishness that Han Chen hid in it, it was also unsatisfactory for Han Chen's strategy to deal with Naiyan. The Mongol ministers such as Itchechara believed that the Hanchen did not understand the methods of warfare on the steppe, so they came up with ideas. Prairie men have always fought with food from the enemy, and they grabbed wherever they fought. The method of clearing the wilderness with strong walls can protect most of the area south of Yanshan, but it has no effect on the provinces outside the Saiwai. Once the imperial court was slow to deal with it, it gave Naiyan a chance to be separated from the outside for a long time, forming a real confrontation with the imperial court. At present, there are only two ways for the imperial court, either to negotiate with Naiyan and use the Huairou way to divide and disintegrate the forces of several princes, which is a superior strategy to prevent the Mongols from being damaged. Either gather all the Mongol armies scattered throughout the country and go to the outside of the fortress to fight the rebels. The only one who could defeat the Mongol army in the wilderness outside the fortress was the Mongol army. What Han army, Tanma Red Army, don't have this ability, and they don't have this qualification.

While explaining his own response, Ichotshara also reminded Kublai Khan to pay attention to his relationship with the Nestorian sect. The influence of the religion in Liaodong was so strong that the imperial court should have sent people to negotiate with the priests of the religion to persuade them not to support Naiyan's rebellion. If they are willing to contribute to the imperial court, then the imperial court can canonize them in the same way as the Changchun Palace, Longhu Mountain, and Tibet, and give them both tax and political benefits.

Ahmad and other ministers were angry and dissatisfied yesterday because the Mongol ministers defected halfway. On the one hand, I would like to tell the ministers that the current treasury is empty, and it is impossible to support the two-way war between the north and the south, let alone pay the money (reward) for the Mongol samurai. On the other hand, he also gently and skillfully pushed away the accusations of Buhumu and others about the corruption of the ministers of the color and eye system. At the end of the day, Ahmad also mentioned in passing that he did not approve of fighting on two fronts at the same time, and at the same time did not think that what science and Christianity could play a role in breaking up the enemy army and boosting his morale. Nestorian came from his homeland, an evil branch that neither Orthodox Christianity nor Muslims tolerated and should have been banned long ago. Whether it is fighting a war or governing the country, it is about clear responsibilities and clear government decrees. If you make a mistake or miss your duty, what responsibility should you bear, what responsibility you should bear, what price you should pay, what price you should pay, what price you should pay. Instead of playing some false concepts that no one believes, and obliterating the responsibilities and obligations that officials should bear. Christianity is like Song Renlixue, it sounds like that, but it is actually self-deception. If you don't believe it, think about the ending of the Southern Song Dynasty. Those Confucian scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty who were loyal, except for one Wen Tianxiang, are not all messing around in the north now?

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the court. After Dong Wenshan, a Hanchen from the north, went, most of the representatives of Hanchen in the court were born in Jiangnan. Among them, Ye Li used to be the imperial history of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Mengyan was once the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Mengfu, although his position was not as high as the two, he was a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin.

The three of them listened to Ahma's ridicule with a gun and a stick, and their faces were red with shame. Liu Mengyan immediately proposed to tell the old man, and Ye Li and Zhao Mengfu insisted on resigning. Annoyed, Kublai Khan slapped the table and reprimanded all the ministers. After a court meeting, a criticism meeting was held, and in the evening, the monarch and the ministers broke up unhappily.

On the third day, the ministers stopped attacking each other, but they all remained silent. Occasionally, a few inconsequential four-grade petty officials jumped out and put forward some suggestions, all of which sounded simple and difficult to implement.

"Is this my Great Yuan Dynasty?" Kublai Khan glanced at his ministers and thought sadly.

At this moment, he misses Dong Wenshan more and more, with Brother Dong here, those Hanchen will not be stupid enough to make the state urgent, and they are still bent on profiting. And the Semu people and the Mongol courtiers did not dare to oppress the Han ministers too much. It's a pity that Dong Wenzhi died, and his younger brother Dong Wenyong and son Dong Dexin are not great talents who can be alone. At present, the courtiers are missing a round stool with one leg, and it is not safe to do anything.

On the fourth day, just as Kublai Khan was saddened by the performance of his ministers, the jade Timur's urgent document was sent to the palace again. The whole Luanhe River was in an emergency, and just when the ministers were undecided, three more cowardly Xue soldiers (the guards of the Mongol Great Khan, also had the role of an officer training regiment) and more than 5,000 soldiers were killed on the front line. If the imperial court can't do anything more, the essence of the guards will be buried.

At this moment, on the Luanhe front, all of them were Kublai Khan's men and horses sent from Zhongshu Province, in addition to the ordinary Mongol army, there were also Kublai Khan's guards in the new army of Xue and Semu, the Cowardly Xue army was the Great Khan's personal guard, and it has always been composed of the children of Mongolian heroes. However, the new army of Semu is the descendant of Ahma and other high-ranking officials of Semu. Even among the 5,000 soldiers who died in battle, they accounted for only one-tenth, which means that there are 500 nobles' sons and nephews buried in the wilderness.

In an instant, there was chaos upwards. It took a while for the ministers to recover from their shock and pain. This time, the ministers of the three factions no longer cared about fighting each other, but made some concessions and compromises among themselves. In addition to the boring method of temporarily recruiting soldiers from among the people in the ratio of one out of five, and winning by numbers, even the absurd idea of moving the capital to Bianliang and abandoning the wild lands of Guangnan and Fujian was proposed.

"Zhenjin, you sort out the various methods of the ministers on my behalf, write them down one by one, and wait for me to read them slowly." Kublai Khan, who listened impatiently, also realized that bringing the war to the court would not have any effect, stood up and gave a loud command.

"Yes! The son will live up to his father's expectations! Prince Zhenjin nodded and replied.

"Retreat!" The deacon and eunuch shouted in a long voice.

"Bow to Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed together. Then with a faint disappointment, he followed behind Prince Zhenjin. A few young courtiers who were not taken seriously by their ordinary words were eager to make a good impression on the future monarch. Hao Zhen, Said and other people who were not in harmony with the prince's power quietly slipped out of the palace gate. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Prime Minister Hu Tutmur secretly slowed down, and then took advantage of the corner of the wall to turn his legs and walked towards Kublai Khan's study.

"In my opinion, the emperor is a little scratching his head on this matter. There were so many old generals in the Manchu Dynasty, but no one came up with a suitable idea. What else can I do in this situation, fight first, try each other's depths! Outside the palace wall, Hao Zhen, the right man of Zhongshu Province, whispered to his colleagues.

"As far as you are wise, who does not hide their own ways in their hearts? Who's stupider than whom? Fight, who leads the troops to fight. On both sides are Mongols, both are golden families. It was the nephew who pulled the bow here, and it was the uncle who was shot there. This battle, mysterious! Said, who was an official under Ahma's subordinates with Hao Zhen, shook his head and commented.

"High, high!" Hao Zhen was dumbfounded. He obtained his official position by bribing Ahma, and was not very familiar with government affairs and the mentality of the Mongols. After listening to Said's words, he realized that the ministers had been discussing seemingly chaotically for several days, and had not come up with a single useful idea. In fact, many people are not unscrupulous, but they are just unable to work.

"The Mongols kill the Mongols, the Golden Family kills the Golden Family, this battle is interesting! I don't understand, I don't understand! Said muttered, shook his head, stepped onto his horse, and trotted away.
