Tiger Roar II
Tiger Roar (2)
"Zhang Tang is in Liangzhejiang, valuing the people and ignoring the scholars, which is actually the way to take trouble, forcing the family to throw himself to His Majesty's side. This is the opportunity for me to regain the two Zhejiang in the future, Lord Temur, remember, remember! Dong Wenzhi turned his head to Hutu Tmur and said weakly.
Since learning that Kublai Khan had brought Hututmur to see him, the careful Dong Wenzhi deferred that Kublai Khan intended to let Hututmur take over as the left minister. He was not very satisfied with this arrangement, as a Han official, he should be an official from the Han army to maintain the balance of the various series of forces in the court. However, if you count the civil officials of the Han family in the DPRK and China one by one, they either have knowledge but no ability, or they have knowledge but no backbone, and their ability and bearing are much inferior to Hututmur. Therefore, Dong Wenzhi had no choice but to acquiesce in this arrangement and carefully explain the future affairs.
"Temur has written it down, please rest assured!" Hututmur was moved to tears, and said in a trembling voice. He was usually dissatisfied with Kublai Khan's respect for Dong Wenshan, and was jealous of Dong Wenshan's talent, and did not get along with Dong Da. Unexpectedly, when the other party was dying, he still thought about national affairs, and taught him the strategy of pacifying Jiangnan in the future. Obviously, he pushed himself and helped himself sit firmly in the position of the left prime minister. With such a mind and such kindness, how could he not be moved!
Kublai Khan saw that the green tendons on Dong Wenshan's forehead were all visible, and knew that he was already burning his last life after working so hard, so he stepped forward, pressed his shoulder, and forcibly pressed him on the pillow and ordered: "Big brother, don't work anymore, everything, wait for the eldest brother's body and bones to get better and then plan!" ”
"It's useless! It is a blessing for a minister to be able to do something for His Majesty. The ancients said that a soldier dies for a confidant. The minister has to meet His Majesty, he must obey his words, and he must accept it, among which kindness and righteousness, how can the word "confidant" be described" Dong Wenzhi shook his head sadly, stretched out his hand and held Kublai Khan's arm, "If you haven't met at that time, you will be a hero of old age." If Jiang hadn't been known to King Wen in Weishui back then, he would just be a mess of old men eating and waiting to die by the river, how could it be his name through the ages! And the young man has to meet His Majesty, and the clouds have risen to the top, all these years..."
Dong Wenshan said with all his strength, the expression on his face was pride and helplessness. He was born in the north since he was a child, and he was familiar with Confucian classics. And the north has fallen for a long time, Kublai Khan is his righteous king, in addition to the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, which book, has written the words "country and nation".
In Dong Wenshan's heart, the so-called country is the land of the monarch, and it is a dynasty born in accordance with the mandate of heaven. In the past two years, what Wen Tianxiang and Chen Longfu have repeatedly preached is a nation-state. And this nation is not a simple Han nationality, but the Chinese nation composed of all the ethnic groups in the Central Plains that were oppressed by the Mongols. Chen Longfu secretly changed the concept of the country, and turned around, but in the newspapers and folk commentaries, he made the first move and scolded him as a traitor without naming him. This is the biggest worry in Dong Wenshan's life, and he wants to refute it, but he is powerless. If you want to defend yourself, you have nowhere to put pen to paper. Seeing that Chen Longfu's doctrine was becoming more and more popular among the people, and his reputation behind him was getting worse and worse, his heart struggled repeatedly between the national righteousness of the country and Kublai Khan's selfishness, and he became the root cause of the disease. Now that he is approaching the limit of life and death, his heart is relieved, no longer considering the name behind him, and wholeheartedly repaying Kublai Khan's kindness.
"I will live up to my eldest brother, dominate the world, and be a virtuous monarch who is more famous than Zhou Wu. When the time comes, drive all those fame and reputation seekers to the desert island and starve to death! to fulfill their grand wish to go to Boyi" Kublai Khan held back the pain in his heart and said a joke.
"Then they will definitely thank Your Majesty for achieving their reputation of not eating Yuansu!" Dong Wenshan was amused by Kublai Khan's words, as if he had seen his victory.
"But the eldest brother must also hold on, and wait until the day when I recast Jiuding!" Kublai Khan held Dong Wenshan's hand tightly and prayed word by word, lest once he let go, the partner who had accompanied him for half his life would be goodbye.
"Your Majesty treats the ministers like this, and the ministers are enough!" Dong Wenshan felt the friendship from Kublai Khan's hands, felt satisfied in his heart, enjoyed it for a moment, and said with half-squinted eyes, "Your Majesty, the minister has recently been recuperating at home, thinking about the things in the south of the Yangtze River, so that Dexin found dozens of family members to try and test, and finally had a small gain!" ”
"I don't know what Dexinxian's nephew has gotten!" Kublai Khan knew that what Dong Wenshan mentioned at this time must be unusual, so he called Dong Wenshan's eldest son to the bed and asked solemnly to the father and son.
Dong Dexin's eyes were red, and she untied a bunch of keys and opened the gold-painted wooden cabinet in front of Dong Wenshan's bed. From the cabinet where the owner of a large northern family treasured the title deed of jewelry, he wiped out a few pieces of writing paper and a small bag, held them in both hands, and held them up in front of Kublai Khan's eyes.
A strong smell of sulfur instantly covered the medicinal fragrance.
"Your Majesty, this is gunpowder that the son of the minister has tried no less than 300 formulas and re-prepared them. The giant cannon made by the Hundred Workshops is no different in appearance from the cannon used by the Broken Army, but the range of the cannonball is far less. The minister later thought about it, it should be the wrong gunpowder formula. Therefore, the minister has always ordered Dexin to develop it privately. A few days ago, although the performance was unstable, and the bumps needed to be re-stirred, it was much stronger than before. (Alcoholic's note: After the original black powder is bumped, the ingredients will be separated, so it is unstable.) The gunpowder of the early Ming Dynasty (the gunpowder used by the Broken Army in the text) was simply granulated, so the performance was greatly improved)
Ahmad supervised the construction of artillery under the order of Kublai Khan, and spent nearly a year to build it, spending tens of thousands of catties of refined copper, and the resulting cannon was not only bulky and abnormal, but also had a range of no more than 500 steps. It wasn't until recently that a fine artist secretly drew a map of the artillery from the remnant Song Dynasty, and got the theory of copper tires and iron, so he barely made a decent artillery, but the range still did not improve much. Everyone knows that it is a problem with the formula of gunpowder, but because the gunpowder is uniformly manufactured in Fujian, the formula cannot be stolen. And if the formula of gunpowder is not available for a day, the generals of the Yuan army are unwilling to collide with the broken army on the battlefield. Kublai Khan was always worried about this, and I don't know how many times he scolded Ahma. Unexpectedly, the problem of the helplessness of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs was solved by Dong Wenshan, a critically ill person.
Kublai Khan took the silk bag containing gunpowder from Dong Dexin's hand, looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, and knew that this was the brainchild of Dong Wenshan. His nose was sore, and the tears of the bean were dripped onto the paper. Ignoring the image in front of everyone, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face, choked up and said, "Big brother treats me like this, I really don't know, what to do not let you down!" ”
Dong Wenjiao smiled and avoided answering. Pointing to the gunpowder bag, and then to his son, he said: "The Broken Army uses firearms to defeat me, and Your Majesty can also use his own way to treat his body." I am a great resource, rich in resources, and full of talents, how can he compete with a corner of Fujian......"
"That's, that's. I, Dayuan, built artillery with the strength of the country, and I could get hundreds of them in half a month, pull them to the south of the Yangtze River, and bombard them! Seeing the opportunity, Hututmur hurriedly said, "Besides, there is a rising star like Dexin Xian's nephew, and I am afraid that he will break the army!" ”
Kublai Khan looked at Dong Wenshan, and then looked at Dong Dexin, who was afraid of his hands and feet on the side of the bed, and knew that Dong Wenshan put the credit for improving gunpowder on his son's head, and had the intention of entrusting him on his deathbed. He immediately nodded and said, "Dexin's talent, I have heard of it for a long time. How can I do such a great thing to him today? In this way, let him follow the example of our Mongolian people and receive the title of a marquis. Your father and son are in the same dynasty, and it is also a good story to spread out! ”
"Minister, thank you for your kindness!" Dong Wenzhi nodded with a smile on the sickbed. Dong Dexin, who suddenly obtained the position of super-grade marquis from the sixth grade, was stunned and quickly knelt on the ground.
"You go out, tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Rites to get your robes, and then come to see me!" Kublai Khan slapped Dong Dexin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Dong Dexin got up from the ground, looked at Kublai Khan, and then looked at his father who was acting strangely, not knowing what to do next.
"Go and wait outside!" Dong Wenshan shook his head and let the stupid son retreat. At this moment, the last trace of concern in his heart was gone, he was in a happy mood, and his mind was clearer. After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a way that a man is about to die, and his words are good, and a bird is about to die, and his words are also sad." The minister has killed countless people in his life, and to be able to die on the bed is already a special grace from God, and he has no regrets. It's just that the minister has one matter, and I hope His Majesty can consider it, otherwise, the minister, the minister really can't rest assured."
"Big brother, even though he said, if there is an enemy, I will kill him for you. If you want, I will take it for you! Kublai Khan's eyes were red, and he replied happily.
"If Your Majesty takes all the world, how will he treat the Han people in the world?" Dong Wenshan's eyes widened, looking at Kublai Khan expectantly and asked.
Somewhat embarrassed by the gaze in front of him, Kublai Khan slowly turned his head away and sighed: "Big brother, I have always treated you as a Mongol, when you are my own brother!" ”
"Can Your Majesty treat the heart of the handle and the people of the Han family in the world. Your Majesty, is the difference between the Mongols and the Han really important? Dong Wenzhi reluctantly raised half his head and asked eagerly.
Kublai Khan knew what Dong Wenzhi wanted him to promise, but he didn't know how to answer. As a generation of emperors, he does not have too deep national concepts in his own heart. Basically, the heroes of all ethnic groups are treated equally. But let him depose the Great Yuan and divide the various ethnic groups into four classes, he really can't do it.
"Big brother, Your Majesty is sometimes very difficult!" Seeing that Kublai Khan was embarrassed, Hututmur hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.
Wen Tianxiang no longer obeys the orders of the Great Song Dynasty, and what he uses to tempt the world's heroes is only the word "equality". If Your Majesty can ......" Dong Wenshan glanced at Hututmur and said with a sigh.
"It's not that I don't know this truth. But it's easier said than done. Big brother, you also know that the northern princes have been dissatisfied with me for a long time for the affairs of the Central Plains! Kublai Khan sighed and explained to Dong Wenshan. It's not that he doesn't know that Dong Wenzhi is kind-hearted, hoping to change the hierarchical division method of the Great Yuan Dynasty and dismantle the reason for the existence of the Broken Army from the root. It's not that I don't know that classifying the people who account for ninety-five out of ten of the people in the world as third- and fourth-class slaves will lay a deep curse for the Great Yuan Dynasty. But he could not fail to take into account the thoughts of the majority of the Mongol nobles, otherwise, without the support of the Mongol heroes, he himself would have nothing left.
"Alas!" Dong Wenshan let out a helpless sigh, his body was light, and the last trace of supporting strength also withdrew from his body with a sigh. Closing his eyes, gasping for breath, two lines of tears slowly rolled out of the corners of his eyes.
"Big brother, I ......" Kublai Khan wanted to explain something, but he couldn't explain anything. Dong Wenshan is a smart person, what he thought of, he had already thought of, and at this moment, it seems redundant to say anything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Majesty's Hardship. But the minister still has a word of advice for Your Majesty! After a while, Dong Wenshan sighed and said: "The Great Song Dynasty is a broken candle in the wind, even if Wen Tianxiang has the technique of returning to the sky, it will not be able to become a climate in three years and five years." but the north, the north ......"
"I know, I know!" Kublai Khan replied repeatedly, and a wave of sadness welled up in his heart. Dong Wenshan was trapped by the knot in his heart, and because he repaid his kindness, he felt that he had failed the whole nation, so he was seriously ill. And Kublai Khan himself was not misunderstood by his own people and was not tolerated by many Mongolian nobles.
"If there is really something discordant, Your Majesty, Your Majesty can try, with the Han army, with the Han army against the Mongols, with the Mongol army against the Han people, maybe it will work, or it may work...... Dong Wenshan's words came and went, and finally came to an end.
"Isn't that really a lonely person?" Kublai Khan suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, as if he saw Temujin being elected as the Great Khan on the banks of the Xilam River, hundreds of thousands of Han army iron horsemen roared by, set fire to the yurts on the steppe one by one, and killed all the Mongolian children who were higher than the chariots. In the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the Mongolian warriors rushed into the yellow-skinned Han people, like tigers into the flock.
"Dong Da is confused!" Kublai Khan reached out to the tip of Dong Wenshan's nose and probed his breathing. Then he lovingly tucked the blanket and exited the room with Hututmur.
In the hall, Dong Dexin, who was still immersed in the excitement of being promoted unusually, saw that the emperor was about to return to the palace, and hurriedly greeted him.
"The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to your father is not good, after dawn, go and ask a Tibetan doctor!" Kublai Khan admonished as he walked out.
"Yes, Your Honor!" Dong Dexin bowed down and replied, thinking about his father's condition, the joy on his face turned into worry again.
Kublai Khan shook his head, very disliked Dong Dexin's out-of-the-box character. Thinking about Dong Wenshan's demeanor back then, he sighed and asked, "Is there any medicine that is missing?" If not, I will go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor, and I will say that I will give priority to all medicines in the Dong Mansion! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dong Dexin was so moved that she fell to her knees and kowtowed a few times in succession.
"Thank you, your father's illness matters. If the medicine is complete, if it is not complete, say it, and I will send someone to find it for you! Kublai Khan was uncomfortable by Dong Dexin's verbosity and stubbornness, and asked impatiently.
"This, this ......." Dong Dexin hesitated, and didn't say a reason for a long time.
"What are you hesitating about, there are still medicinal materials in the world that Your Majesty can't find for you. Say it, hold on! Hututmur pushed Dong Dexin and reminded him kindly.
"The Mongolian doctor Amur gave an old recipe, saying that it can greatly replenish qi and blood. But dragon's blood is needed as a medicine. The minister has already ordered people to rush to Boni in the starry night to buy the thunder dragon! It's just that it's thousands of miles away, and the sea route is blocked by thieves...... "Dong Dexin Luo Li was verbose, and it took a long time to explain things clearly.
Kublai Khan's ministers were divided into three lines: Mongolian, Han, and Semu, and the doctors of the court and China were also divided into three lines: Mongolian, Han, and Usizang. Each department has its own strengths, and they are not convinced by each other. For the same condition, you can find completely different explanations and prescriptions. Among them, the sensational home remedies are the most popular in Mongolian doctor Amur. Under Amur, there are all kinds of sweet grass, humanoid shouwu, conjoined lambs, all kinds of strange things. It's just that this person can cure some serious diseases that others can't treat, so he has some reputation. A month and a half ago, Amur came to see Dong Wenshan, and immediately wrote a home remedies, but he wanted to use dragon blood as a medicine. The Dong family inquired around how to find the legendary dragon, and finally in the mouth of Marco Polo, he heard that there was a beast in the overseas Boni country, which the local Han people called the thunder dragon (giant lizard), so he sent someone to buy it at any cost.
"Bastard, wait for the person who bought the thunder dragon to come back, your father, why didn't you let me know about such a big matter earlier!" Kublai Khan scolded angrily, eager to catch Dong Dexin and beat him hard. It's too late to say anything at this moment, and when the person who bought the thunder dragon comes back, Dong Wenshan is estimated to be able to be buried.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Dong Dexin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again.
"Useless things, get up!" Kublai Khan scolded hatefully, and he didn't understand how Dong Da Yingming I cultivated such an unbearable son. I looked around, and suddenly, I had a plan in my heart. After a few steps, he walked to the table and grabbed a teacup.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here to see tea for Your Majesty!" Thinking that Kublai Khan was thirsty, Hututmur hurriedly stepped forward and poured tea and water for Kublai Khan. Dong Dexin also hurriedly got up and called his subordinates to hurry up and get new water.
"No need, you guys stay away!" Kublai Khan impatiently pushed Dong Dexin and Hututmur away, washed the teacup with his own hands, and put it in his hand. Then he reached out with his right hand, took out the short knife that the Mongol carried with him from his waist, and slashed it on his left wrist.
Bright red blood immediately poured out, flowing down Kublai Khan's wrist, like a stream, into the tea bowl on the table.
"Your Majesty!" Hututmur, Dong Dexin, and the servants of the Dong family who rushed to deliver water were all so frightened that they fell to the ground, not knowing what Kublai Khan's move meant.
The smell of blood filled the room. Emperor Kublai Khan smiled and saw that his blood was flowing all over the bowl, then he cut off the sleeves of his robe, tied the wound on his wrist, and explained with satisfaction: "They say that those who are emperors are the reincarnation of the true dragon. I don't know if it's enough to make medicine. Dexin, you take it to boil the medicine first, it's not enough, come to the palace tomorrow, I will get it for you! ”
"Your Majesty!" Dong Dexin fell to the side of the table, crying silently. At this moment, he finally understood why when his father was seriously ill, what he never forgot was the sentence that a soldier dies for his confidant. Kublai Khan was not only his father's confidant, but also a friend, a good friend who could be trusted with his life.
"But for the sake of the other party's personal kindness, can you betray your own country and nation?" The controversy in the newspapers in the capital broke into his mind again.
The question was so deep that he didn't know the answer and couldn't think about it. There was just a patch of blood in front of me, red, red, breathless.
