p> Yuan people's Zhongshu Provincial Consul Hundred Officials, and the Privy Council and the Imperial Historical Observatory were in charge of the three powers of government, military and supervision, which were newly established according to the Han system after Kublai Khan's reform of the Yuan. The Zhongshu Provincial Governor Zhongshu Order, because the Zhongshu Decree is the crown prince's real gold, and then a law is formed, so the right and left prime ministers are the actual prime ministers. Under it, there are Pingzhang political affairs, right and left ministers, and the governor of the government as deputy ministers. Zhongshu Province has six departments: officials, households, rites, workers, criminals, and soldiers, and there are Shangshu and Shilang to manage government affairs.

p> Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhongshu Province of the Yuan people was located outside the imperial city, and together with the six yamen, it was located on the side street not far from the palace gate. This is quite a distance from Boyan's official residence, so although there is no court meeting today, he still arrived early, there is no way, the recent political affairs, especially military affairs, are too heavy, and since Shi Tianze, who was originally the same as him as the prime minister of Zhongshu Zuo, has just passed away, all the affairs have been pressed on his shoulders alone.

p > walked into the lobby, Boyan looked at the case opposite him and was slightly distracted, but he didn't expect this person to leave as soon as he said it, although he also lived to be more than seventy years old, which can be regarded as a long life. But Boyan knew very well in his heart that the reason why Shi Tianze died suddenly after a long illness was directly related to his son Shi Ge's death in Jiangnan, and this qiē was inseparable from him.

When P > went to mourn, the Shi family did not blame him, they were all gentle, and Boyan could see that they were indeed sincere. But this does not mean that he himself has no sense of guilt, and indirectly caused the death of the Shi family's father and son, and the latter is still the pillar of the house, and his son has just been able to call him "Daddy", so since that day, Boyan has stayed here every day, distracting his feelings with heavy affairs.

p > is not only so, because the right prime minister An Tong went to the northwest with the army, and the entire Zhongshu Province was carried on his shoulders at once, not to mention that he was still responsible for the affairs of the Privy Council. In addition to the financial power in charge of the Pingzhang political affairs Ahma, the military and political affairs must be summarized by him, and after the decision is made, they must be sent to the palace for sealing, and then sent to the provinces as soon as possible.

p > Although he is the actual prime minister here, there is the prince of the Great Khan and the imperial historian, how can there be the refreshment of one person during the southern expedition. As soon as he sat down on the chair, his subordinates brought him a large number of chapters and documents, and Boyan suddenly felt that he was just a scribe of the Great Khan.

p> According to the will of the Great Khan, all the northern provinces issued conscription orders to supplement the attrition of the previous year's expedition to the south, for which the tax will be increased again this year. Fortunately, there are many Han people, and this dynasty does not spend too much than the Song people, and a cannon fodder-like miscellaneous soldier has to be raised for hundreds of dollars, so even if some burdens are added to the people, it has not reached the point where the people's grievances are boiling.

> Boyan knew very well in his heart that the Great Khan had made the greatest determination this time, although it would take a few days for the figures from all over the country to be reported, and he had already roughly estimated how huge it would be. The Great Khan is getting old, and gradually becoming a little arbitrary, he can feel it, this time even Han Chen, who has always liked to defend in the court, has stopped his mouth, who doesn't know that he has to send an arrow on the string?

> what worries him the most is not this, he still has tens of thousands of subordinates and a large number of generals in the hands of the Song people, although the Great Khan sent an embassy headed by Lian Xixian, but he is faintly worried in his heart, this is only a move. Whether it can be negotiated or not, whether to get back the captives, including thousands of Mongols, does not seem to have been taken to heart by the Great Khan, otherwise there would not have been a national conscription at this time, lest the Song people would not know.

p > Lian Xixian's handwritten letter from the capital of the Song people was on his case, and the Great Khan only said one sentence after looking at it: "If the Song people dare to move the envoys again, I will personally lead the troops to ask for it." Despite the heroic words, isn't this a clear push to death? Now the Song people have detained the envoy on the grounds of Xia Gui's death, which is no better than Hao Jing back then, and the people are all there is oral and physical evidence, and it is difficult to find an excuse if they want to shirk.

> he had been worried about this matter for several days, and the Jinghu side had also sent the argument at the same time, and he believed the above statement but could not use it to convince the Song people. The person was captured at the assassination scene, dressed in black and holding a weapon, the Song people would kill their own generals in order to plant such stolen goods? Boyan shook his head depressedly, this matter is too strange, full of doubts, but there is no way to confirm it.

p> "Qi Yu Prime Minister, the military department Lang Zhong asked to see him." Boyan, who was in a daze in front of a note, was awakened by the voice of a scribe, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly ordered someone to call in, and the person who came was a dark-eyed and gray-haired man, and he was wearing an official uniform on him very incongruously, and there were many such people in the court.

p>Like Ahma, Khusin's father, Zhistin, was trusted by the Great Khan, and since he was sent to Yunnan last year to serve as the governor of Pingzhang, he changed the original administrative system to the same state and county system as the Central Plains, and quickly put down several rebellions in the province, which was highly appreciated by the Great Khan, and he went there to carry out an important mission.

P> "Hu Xin has seen the prime minister. Like those who came back from the Western Regions, Hu Xin also performed the local common flat-chested ceremony, his Chinese was not very fluent, and Mongolian was also very general, but I heard that it was still not a big problem, Boyan accepted his salute, stood up from a few backs, and pulled him up.

P> "You're from the palace?" What the Great Khan said. The two of them took their seats in the hall, and Boyan didn't talk to him politely, so he asked directly.

p> "To hide from the Great Prime Minister, the Great Khan had great expectations for Yunnan, but my father and I both thought that it was not a good time to send troops at this time, and if we were given another three, no, two years or even a year, we were confident that it would always become the most loyal territory of the Great Khan." ”

p> Huxin shrugged his shoulders and said, he didn't say these words to the Great Khan, because he knew that it was useless to say it. Yunnan Province is the southernmost land of the Yuan people, although it has been more than ten years since the conquest of them, but because the people's feelings are too complicated, they are far from being as easy to rule as these Han lands in the Central Plains.

p > Boyan was silent for a while, how could he not know this, the daily political and military reports had to pass through his hands, although the large-scale rebellions in the past few years had been suppressed, but the leader was not caught, and the sporadic small rebellions were even more endless, and they would recur if they were not careful.

p> "You go over this time, help me bring a letter to Ezhou, hand it over to Ali The Hague Pingzhang, ask it personally by the way, and then send a confidant back to Beijing to report to me, I don't worry about some things to be done by others." He didn't have a good opinion of the Great Khan's measures, so he changed the topic and said.

p> according to Boyan's request, Hu Xin had to go around again, but he didn't say anything, and agreed without hesitation, anyway, everyone knew that his trip was very long, and the Great Khan didn't stipulate any time limit, so it didn't matter if it was delayed for a while.

> knew that he was about to leave, but Boyan didn't keep him longer, this time the Great Khan didn't even let go of the enclave, and his determination was already clear, and it was irretrievable. The Han people said that "the wrath of the Son of Heaven will ambush millions of corpses and shed thousands of miles of blood", and now their horses are about to taste the wrath of thunder.

p> "These people were immediately sent to Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Lingbei, Zhengdong, and Zhongshu provinces, and told them to be ready for conscription before the onset of winter." After Hu Xin left, Bo Yan quickly finished the edict that had been drawn up before, and called a few officials to order them to go down, these places are relatively remote and may not be used, but preparations still have to be made.

p> As for the more distant places, such as Mobei and the khanates, they will not be taken into account, one is that the distance is long and it is not easy to transport, and the other is that those areas are sparsely populated, and it is difficult to make up many people. What's more, now that the northwest is not quiet, some ambitious sect kings are ready to move, and these have to be guarded against.

P> Now Boyan regrets his previous failures, if it weren't for his carelessness, he wouldn't have been like this, so desperate, in case there was a setback. Boyan didn't dare to think about it anymore, the example of the previous generation of Great Khan Meng Ge was placed there, although the prince was established early now, but the grassland has always been respected by the strong, which of the kings of each sect is not a descendant of Genghis Khan?

P> "What do you say they're doing?" Ali Hague did not hear what was going on, and took a few steps forward to ask the knight who was kneeling on one knee, and the man seemed to have arrived overnight, with some dew on his body, and he was panting for breath.

p> "The Song people seem to be withdrawing their troops, and they seem to have torn down even the walls of the county seat, and by the time we approached, it had become a white field, and there were no houses left. All of their men had withdrawn into the mountains, and further they were driven away, and from a distance it seemed as if the Song were strengthening the passes. ”

P> Patrol Rider recounted the situation again, which made Ali Hague cry and laugh a little, thinking that they wanted to fight to the death, but they withdrew silently. The aftermath I prepared all failed, I really don't know whether to say that this Li Tingzhi has a strategy or is lucky.

p >Yes, his Yangluo Fort has added nearly 30,000 new troops, and it is not appropriate to say that there are new forces, that is, those who retreated to Qizhou to eat. Among them, there were nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen without horses, who were also brought by one of their commanders, Ashuhan, and after replenishing in Ezhou, they secretly came to this fort, but who knew that the opponent suddenly disappeared.

p> force up with these troops again? Ali Hague knew that there would be no changes except for attracting Li Tingzhi back and maybe facing more Song troops. The two armies did not have an absolute chance of victory, and the Song people were unwilling to fight under a fortified city like Yangluo Fort, so how could he want to attack the strengthened Dabie Mountain Pass again!

> the grain collected from the Jiangbei Province of Henan Province was being transported to Xiangyang Prefecture and then to Ezhou City, and all he had to do now was to keep this place of advance and wait for the next Great Khan's conquest order. He had long known about the big moves in the provinces of the Central Plains, and since this was the case, he was happy to temporarily stop the army and truce, and in terms of the efficiency of the assembly, the Song people were far inferior to his own side.
