"A bunch of rubbish!" Kublai Khan grabbed the emergency paperwork, crumpled it, and threw it onto the scarlet carpet with a grunt.

The imperial study was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, and several close ministers such as Hututmur, Ishtmur, Itchala, Saliman, Ahma, and other close ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. Even Marco Polo, a courtier who had always been favored by Kublai Khan, lowered his eyelids and did not dare to come out.

The Great Khan was on fire, and the right prime minister Boyan Boyan inspected the northwest and did not return, the left prime minister Dong Wenshan was seriously ill, and the two ministers of the humerus were not around. Kublai Khan's waste words, although he was scolding Fan Wenhu, the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, sounded more like scolding everyone.

It is no wonder that Kublai Khan was so angry, none of the ministers expected that Wen Tianxiang would dare to send troops to attack Liangzhejiang under the condition that an army of 500,000 was pressing. When the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered, in order to prevent the people from resisting, Boyan ordered the new annexed army to demolish the walls of the cities of all over the two Zhejiang, even if it was the capital of Lin'an, it was reduced to less than seven feet, this height, it was overstretched to prevent ordinary bandits, let alone deal with the broken army with artillery.

And the navy army that Dayuan had worked hard to accumulate attacked Japan in order to plunder the silver, encountered a hurricane, and the pieces were returned. (Historically, the Northern Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan twice.) This is the first time) Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation, there is a sea without defense, there is a city without a wall. was stabbed by Zhang Tang with all his might, and there were holes everywhere.

Therefore, no matter whether the officials in various places are loyal to the Great Yuan Dynasty or not, in the face of the artillery of the broken army, there is no city that can support more than three days. Zhang Tang led more than 10,000 men and horses, using the strategy of only attacking but not defending, and swept all over the two Zhejiang provinces in about two months. The urgent documents of the two Zhejiang provinces flew like snowflakes, and they begged the Northern Yuan court to send reinforcements. But at this moment, where to find reinforcements?

The most hateful is Fan Wenhu, who led 100,000 new troops back to save Lin'an, and was beaten out again after entering the city for less than half a month. If it is said that the first time Lin'an was lost, it was due to the surprise of the captive army. lost for the second time, but I have to say that it was the strength of the Broken Army, which was far beyond the new annexed army.

In the eyes of the southerners, Lin'an City represents the country. The reason why many of the Southern Dynasty generals who had fought hard chose to surrender to the Northern Yuan Dynasty was because Lin'an was lost, their court was gone, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. And now Lin'an has been recovered by the Great Song Dynasty, and once it was recovered by a surprise attack, and once it was beaten down with dignity. "The Great Song Dynasty is still alive!" , Lin'an's two changes of hands undoubtedly clearly told heroes everywhere such news.

Those who Kublai Khan had not yet freed up his hands to clean up the appeasements, and those who promised them to lead the troops to guard their homes at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there must be a considerable number of people who would take the opportunity to collude with the Broken Army. And once this momentum intensifies, the entire situation in Jiangnan may be out of control.

"Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, Yichen only sees that the broken army is just a small fight in Liangzhejiang, and there is no need to worry!" After pondering for a while, Hututmur, the political affairs of Pingzhang, remembered Boyan's words before leaving, stabilized his mind, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Oh, a little fight. I don't know how Temur came to such a conclusion. A small fight will ruin my two Zhejiang, a big fight, how can he make trouble, can't he land in the southeast of Dadu with a sailor? Kublai Khan glanced at Khuttemur with pure white eyes and did not give him a good word. He was a straightforward and honest emperor, both happy and angry. Respect people who have the ability and courage, but they don't like people to blindly say good things and prevaricate.

"Your Majesty should indeed make some preparations, the thief is bold, this time he clearly doesn't care about the life or death of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and blindly does it. One day he is really anxious and desperate to harass Gyeonggi, it is not impossible! Seeing that Kublai Khan had made Hututmur look ugly, Ahmad came up and took the opportunity to blackmail Hututmur behind his back. As the head of the ministers of the Semu family, he has always been at odds with the Han and Mongolian families, and as long as there is an opportunity to embarrass others, he will never let it go.

"That's not necessary, Lord Ahma's words are serious!" Hututmur turned his head and glared at Ahma. With his temperament, he was going to ridicule him on the spot, thinking about Boyan's advice, gritted his teeth and took back the words that were good for his tongue, bowed to Kublai Khan, and then continued: "The places attacked by the army are all less than a hundred miles away from the sea and the river. Since then, it can be seen that the thief's move is to disrupt the situation set up by Jiubadu. So far, the nine pulls are only one and a half of the men and horses of Fan Wenhu's defense, and the rest of the armies have not moved. Your Majesty, and don't be blinded by some short-sighted people and make a momentary mistake! ”

Since Kublai Khan promised to hand over the Jiangnan war to Zhang Hongfan, he really shouldn't forcibly intervene because of changes in the middle of the war. Otherwise, it will cause great interference to the front-line command and the echo of the rear.

Kublai Khan's hand pressed on the bookcase, shook it, rushed up in anger, and was forced down by him. "Hmmm! Makes sense! I am indeed dizzy! Come, let's sit down and speak," he nodded, and apologized to Hututmur with his eyes. Waving his hand to find someone, he moved Hututmur's seat forward, placed it opposite his imperial case, and said while flcanting the urgent letter on the table: "Since Qing thinks that the situation is still under control, how should I deal with it next?" Since I am the lord of this country, I can't ignore this thick stack of documents! ”

"Since Fan Wenhu is the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, he should naturally bear the responsibility of defending the territory. Otherwise, every battle will be lost, what is the use of His Majesty still raising his 200,000 new vassals. Moreover, he has a lot of protégés in the old department of Liangzhejiang, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses! His Majesty did not give him an order, and ordered him to regain the lost territory with his whole army. Seal these emergency documents and give them to him together, see if he is ashamed or not! Hutut Mur groaned slightly, and said with a straight face.

As soon as these words came out, several people who were summoned by Kublai Khan to discuss the matter became active, and repeatedly accused Fan Wenhu of being passive and slacking off. In private, Yichechara, Sariman and other important Mongolian ministers knew Kublai Khan's thoughts, and as early as the year before last, he planned to disband the soldiers and horses in Fan Wenhu's hands. At that time, because the remnant Song Dynasty had not been destroyed, it was necessary to leave Fan Wenhu, an "inferior horse", as an example for the remnant Song generals who surrendered and insisted on resisting, and the other was because the Mongol army and the Han army were not accustomed to navigation, and the imperial court planned to destroy the Song Dynasty and use troops to the Wa State to plunder the silver there. Therefore, Fan Wenhu was reluctantly allowed to leave the compilation.

Today, the heroes who were willing to surrender to the Great Khan have basically surrendered. The rest are all Wen Tianxiang who resisted to the end like this, and Fan Wenhu's role model has been lost. And the Great Yuan Water Division is exhausted, and the act of cutting down the Japanese is a distant thing. Therefore, there is no benefit in leaving Fan Wenhu and his more than 200,000 troops and more than 100 generals. The reason why Fan Bu's combat effectiveness is so poor today is also the result of repeated secret suppression by the imperial court. Hututmur asked Kublai Khan to send a decree to rebuke Fan Wenhu, which actually contained the intention of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf. forced him to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Tang and Li Xing of the Broken Army, no matter who won or lost, the battle was over, and Fan Wenhu's two Zhejiang men and horses basically didn't need Kublai Khan to bother anymore.

"Jiubadu ordered General Fan Wenhu to attack Fujian from the flank and contain the thieves. Now that the thieves and horses have entered the two Zhejiang, the diversion effect of the two Zhejiang soldiers and horses has been achieved. There is not much difference between the battlefield in Fujian and Zhejiang. If the Nine Pulls succeed in the frontal battlefield, the Breaker Army will eventually have to retreat from Liangzhe. Therefore, I think that what Lord Hututmur said is reasonable! Master Itchechara stood up from his seat and said loudly.

"The minister also thinks that the current rebellion between Zhejiang and Zhejiang is just a means for literary thieves to disturb the audio-visual, and the itch of scabies is not enough to cause trouble!" In the Imperial History, Saliman chimed in. He didn't know anything about military affairs. But for the Jiangnan ministers, he looked down on them a hundred times, and he couldn't wait to see their jokes.

"The itch of scabies, this scabies is too big. Lord Zhongcheng doesn't know, where did I get the most food and salary from? Ahmad listened to the fire, and without waiting for Kublai Khan to make a conclusion, he rushed forward to question.

Just now he ridiculed Hututmur's perfunctory, saying that it was possible for the Breaker Army to attack Dadu from the sea. And Hututmur proved with the battle situation of the two Zhejiang that the targets of the Breaker Army were less than 100 miles away from the coast or river bank. The closest ports to Dadu, Haiyang (Qinhuangdao) and Zhigu (also known as Nigu, now Tanggu), are more than 200 miles away from Dadu. Therefore, the capital city is far outside the attack range of the Breaker Army, and is not a target for its harassment. Ahma was caught by the other party from the distance and touched a nose of ash, so he was anxious to show it and get back a little face.

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, and they have been important places of finance and taxation for all dynasties, which is true. But as far as I know, the state capital destroyed by the Broken Captives Army was not plundered on a large scale, and most of the wealth and goods obtained were scattered among the people. When the thieves withdraw, with the power of Lord Ahma, he can naturally be collected! Sariman replied with a sneer. It is Ahma's duty to collect taxes, just as fighting a war is the duty of Van Wenhu and other soldiers, and Sariman doesn't understand, but not understanding it doesn't mean that he won't take the opportunity to cause trouble for Ahma. Moreover, in his eyes, wealth usually refers to livestock pastures, and gold, silver, grain, and silk cloth are really superfluous. If you can't collect it, you won't be able to collect it, and when the time comes, I just took the opportunity to persuade Kublai Khan to kill all the people in Liangzhejiang and turn it all into pastures.

"You ......" Ahmad was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he wanted to swing his old fist and knock Sariman to the ground. The army scattered wealth into the people, and Dayuan forced the money to rebel, didn't he force those people to rebel. The people are opposed, of course Saliman and the others are willing to kill them, but the source of wealth is cut off, what is the use of the court still using people who can write and calculate?

"Okay, Saliman is, he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are when he doesn't belong to his family. Ahma doesn't need to be angry, the two Zhejiang finances and taxes can't be collected this year, our monarchs and ministers are squeezing in other places, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty will be wiped out in the coming year, and we can double the money from those banknotes. I heard that Fujian is very rich under the rule of Wen Tianxiang. A lot of gold pits and silver mines have been opened, and they have accumulated them in the Song Dynasty, and we Yuan people have enjoyed them, hasn't this always been the truth? Kublai Khan smiled and spoke from behind the imperial case, and the discord among his subordinates was the result of his deliberate connivance. Only in this way can he better grasp the shortcomings of his ministers and control them in the palm of his hand. But because of the discord between them, it shouldn't have delayed the major affairs of the court. So, he interrupted the quarrel that was about to break out and said as impartially as possible, "Everything at the moment must make way for Jiubadu." Before he left, I had promised that he would have no worries. Therefore, the affairs of the two Zhejiang provinces should be done according to Temur's words. I want to see if this General Fan can be forced out by me to show some real skills. As for what Ahmaqing said, it is not completely unreasonable, my cowardly army and pro-army have not fought for a long time, so it is better to let them move too. In this way, the pro-army Observation Guard, Kang Liwei, and Ah Suwei made a move and moved from Zhuozhou to Yangcun, and the Cowardly Army also took out 10,000 children to be stationed in Tongzhou, ready for trouble! (Alcoholic note: banknote households, is a major invention of the Northern Yuan, the people of Jiangnan each household to pay the imperial court five times a year, drought and flood do not decrease)

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ahmad bent over and retreated into his seat with a red face.

Under his instigation, Kublai Khan's new pro-army was composed entirely of Semu warriors, both in armor and weapons, and was better among all armies, second only to the traditional Great Khan's pro-guard army left by Genghis Khan. Kublai Khan's transfer of them from the camp in Zhuozhou to Yangcun, which is close to Zhigu, itself shows that the Great Khan attached great importance to the Semu people.

"You don't have to thank me, you have to think of a way to deal with the wealth. The money and grain of the two Zhejiang provinces will not be able to be harvested this year. But the soldiers in the north could not fight hungry, and I promised to give the Liaodong troops money and food to prevent the white disaster (snow disaster), and they would be delivered regularly. So, if you look at Shanxi Road, Shandong Road, and Hejian area, can you charge more, and if you owe them, they will be allowed to deduct it in next year's finance and taxes! Kublai Khan sighed and continued to command Ahma.

"Your Majesty told them to borrow, that is a grace for them, why not!" When Ahmad heard that double rations of money and grain could be levied in some areas, he immediately rejoiced. The abacus crackled in his stomach, calculating how many people he could arrange to go in, and how many of them could fit into his pocket.

"Alright, Hututmur stays behind to prepare the decree for me, and the others go back to rest!" Kublai Khan waved his hand, his face tired. Deep down, he was disappointed in the people in front of him. After discussing for half a night, he came up with such a way to respond to all changes without change, if Boyan was there, he would definitely not be so passive. If Dong Wenzhi is here, he will not let himself lose his temper again and again.

But after all, there is only one Boyan in the world, and in the northwest, without him in charge, the princes are ready to move. And Dong Wenshan, Kublai Khan knew in his heart that Dong Wenshan might not be able to survive this winter. This minister, who is as close as a brother to himself, can't get around that knot in his heart. Ever since those in the south came up with the idea of a nation, his physical and mental condition has deteriorated daily. Although he was committed to being loyal to himself and giving advice, the helplessness and hesitation in his eyes could be seen.

"Why bother with any country, isn't it better for you and your family to live happily than anything else?" In private, Kublai Khan once enlightened Dong Wenshan in this way, Dong Wenshan was submissive, and he told himself with Wang Meng, and he still acted in a state of depression after that.

"Your Majesty, the holy decree has been prepared, please take a look at it!" After a while, Hututmur looked up from the table and whispered.

"Well, let it go! Kublai Khan waved his hand and motioned for Hututmur to place the decree next to the bookcase, and then withdrew.

"The incompetence of the ministers has made Your Majesty tired!" Hututmur put down the holy decree and did not leave immediately, but said in a low voice with a bit of self-reproach.

"It's none of your business, it's my carelessness that let the thief take advantage of the loophole! I didn't expect him to be so bold. Kublai Khan looked up, looked at Hututmur, and said with a forced smile.

"The minister can't share the worries for Banzai, please punish Your Majesty!" Khuttum looked at Kublai Khan's tired eyes, and the expression on his face became more and more sad. Boyan is not there, Dong Wenshan is seriously ill, and it is his responsibility to share Kublai Khan's worries. At the same time, once Dong Wenzhi dies, the vacated position of the left minister, there will be a compromise and struggle between the ministers. It's better to perform well now than a hundred times in the future.

"You are open-minded today, and it is too late for me to reward you, how can you punish you? Sit down, since you're not in a hurry to go back, let's talk for a while. Tell me how you held back your anger today and let that boy Ahma! Doesn't that seem like your temper? Kublai Khan asked with a smile as he pointed to the stool.

"Before Lord Boyan went to the west, he specially told his ministers to take the overall situation into account. Every time the minister thinks of this, it is like being washed by a cold mare's milk, and those who are not pleasing to the eye also look pleasing to the eye! Hututmur replied honestly. For Kublai Khan, he has always been loyal and has something to say. This is also the reason why Kublai Khan valued him, so although he has done a lot of things, he can still be in a high position.

Listening to Hututmur's words, Kublai Khan's gloomy mood was a little happier, and a few real smiles appeared on his face, "It turns out that Boyan is worrying about me, and you are willing to listen to his advice, which is really beyond my expectations!" ”

"The minister is foolish, compared to the self-examination of Lord Boyan, I know what I am not worthy!" Hututmur blushed and replied modestly.

"If the minister is like this, what do you want for the king?" Kublai Khan said with emotion, for Boyan's loyalty, but also for Hututmur's frankness. "Temur, we Mongolians have grown up on horseback since childhood, and our essence is pure, which is the most important character of human beings. You can listen to Boyan's words, do your best, and learn from others' strengths and make up for your own shortcomings, and I am very happy. Actually, don't be like Ahma, I'll tell you the truth, I know all the things he did. But we Mongolians are not good at this, so we have to rely on the power of the Semu people. With them, Hanchen's grievances against the Mongols will also be shared by them. That's why I had to use them. At present, in Taixue, our Mongolian children are learning calculations and scriptures and history, and they are learning slowly. When they grow up, I will gradually use them to take the place of the Semu people and the Han people! Fight the world on horseback, we can't rule the world on horseback. We Mongols are not good at governing the country, so now we must use the Semu people and the Han people. Wait for ...... future"

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Hututmur praised it heartily and admired Kublai Khan so much. "Your Majesty employs people on the basis of merit and magnificent. Naturally, the ministers should also learn to be generous. Anyway, the world belongs to us Mongolians, and no matter how much trouble the Semu people make, it's just a ...... we raise."

"Just a loyal dog! If you can look at it this way, it means that you are much smarter than before, and you have trusted you in vain! Kublai Khan laughed and took Khuttmur's words. I used to look down on this "confused" Temur, but I didn't expect that he was still a Wang Zuozhicai. The mood was slightly better, and the topic in Kublai Khan's mouth began to relax, "It's not meritocracy, it's meritocracy, it's the words of Han scholars who fool laymen." In fact, they never do it themselves. As for employing people, in fact, we must first know people. Use its long, and discard its short. No one is perfect, where do you ask me to find so many sages? Take Ahma, for example, his hand is a little longer, but he can calculate, and with him, I don't have to worry about not being able to give the soldiers a reward! As for whether he was greedy for the silver, he was not like other people who were bent on moving the money to heaven for pilgrimage, but stayed at home, in the land of my great yuan. One day, if any of you has the ability to replace Ahma, his days of corruption will come to an end. Now that I tolerate his greed, I can naturally find a way to get him to return all the money he was greedy to! ”

"Yes, it's like His Majesty lent him a pair of breeding sheep and let him put them first. When the autumn comes, even the sheep and the cubs will come back, let him work in vain! Hututmur waved his arms and happily agreed. He finally understood that the Great Khan's heart was still towards the Mongols.

"Let's talk about these things in private, and you must not spread them. Whether it is the Mongols, the Han Chinese, or the Semu people, as long as they are of the same mind as us and are useful to us, we will take out a lot of strength and benefits to treat others. This is like those monks, Taoist priests, Muslims, and foreign monks with crosses, no matter what scriptures they read, as long as they bless me for thousands of years in the world, they can recite them as they please. If they don't have the same heart with us, no matter which clan they are, what gods they believe in, or whose descendants they are, we can't be soft! (This assertion is quoted from Kublai Khan's original words, and it is indeed very magnanimous)

"Yes, the minister knows!" Hututmur nodded in reply. He came from a tribe near Liaodong, where the leaders believed in a sect with a cross and were preparing to establish a cross state, all sorts of strange things. He'd heard about it. Kublai Khan said this today, on the one hand, to show that he valued him. On the other hand, it also clearly shows that Kublai Khan has been alert to the affairs of Liaodong and expects him to stand firm. (Alcoholic's note: When Nayan rebelled, he started as a branch of Catholicism.) Embroidered the cross on the battle flag)

Although Hututmur was known as "confused", deep down he was not ignorant of Kublai Khan's words and the situation of the various factions in the court. The head of the ministers in the DPRK is nominally Boyan, but Lord Boyan often goes out to patrol the fortress, in fact, the authority of the world is in the hands of Dong Wen, the left minister. At present, Dong Wenshan is seriously ill, and the position of Prime Minister Zuo is about to be vacated. The ministers of the Semu and Han clans were staring at this position. If he can continue to satisfy Kublai Khan as he does today, it can be expected that the position of left minister will be his in the future.

"Actually, Dong Da is my best arm, much stronger than Wang Meng they say. Zhuge Liang is better than what they say, he can go to the court, I am down-to-earth, and I will not easily make impatience when I encounter anything. But he's about to be summoned by the Immortal Heaven! Kublai Khan seemed to see through Hututmur's thoughts, and said with a sigh. There are two peerless talents among the Han people, one is Dong Da and the other is Wen Tianxiang. Other celebrities, Confucians, are famous, but in fact, they are not er. Back then, I was reluctant to let Boyan slaughter the surnamed Wen on the spot, thinking that I could tame him and let me drive him. Who knew that he had a chance to run away, and he would cause me so much trouble today. Originally, there was Dong Da, and I didn't worry, without Wen Tianxiang, Dong Da drew his sword and looked around, and he couldn't find an opponent, so he was inevitably lonely. Who knows, Dong Da has talent and no longevity, alas! ”

Kublai Khan let out a long sigh, both for Dong Wenshan, and for himself.

"The ministers will do their best to achieve His Majesty's hegemony!" Hututmur swore to heaven that he would live up to the emperor's grace. He also admires Dong Wenshan's talent very much, and he also knows that the gap between his ability and Dong Wenshan's ability is obvious, and he can't catch up no matter how hard he tries.

Looking up at Kublai Khan's regretful expression, Hututmur suddenly had a plan, looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if it is useful or not!" ”

"What kind of plan, you can tell me and hear it!" Kublai Khan smiled and encouraged.

"Kill Wen Tianxiang and kill him with the hands of the Song people. Since the minister's talent is not as good as Dong Da, he naturally will not be a good man to compete with Wen Tianxiang. It's better to find a way to kill him! Hututmur said viciously, his eyes like a lone wolf wandering over the grassland.

"If Hongfan's plan can be successful, I have already killed him!" Kublai Khan smiled, a mysterious expression.
