Verses 570 and 571 The layout of the Khan's Eagle Workshop, the queen Haidong's military exercise.

Wanyan Weihuo didn't dare to hide it, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and Li Luo and the others knew that Gu Ding had been discovered.

The abandoned gold camp was indeed built on a so-called feng shui treasure land. It is said that when the camp was built, an ancient altar was excavated. But no one thought much about it at the time.

"Wanyan Weihuo, this should be Jizhou Ding. You have protected the Ding, and you should be rewarded. However, the Kyushu Ding is very important, and it cannot be transported back at the moment, so in order to prevent leakage, the widow will send you to Dongzhou. Li Luo said.

Eastern State? Where is that? Wan Yan Weihuo's heart trembled.

"It's not far from the East China Sea, starting from Lin'an, and it's a few days away." Li Luo explained. It's not okay not to send them to Dongzhou, if any of them leaks this secret, it will soon be known to the whole world.

After all, Jizhou Ding has not been able to be shipped back in a few years, and it is the territory of the Yuan Court, and it is still outside the Saiwai. Once the Yuan Court secretly learned that the Yuan Court had dug up Jizhou Ding, there would be nothing to do with Li Luo.

"The widow counts your dedication to the crown, makes you a first-class viscount, rewards 10,000 taels of silver, and goes to Dongzhou for the time being." Li Luo generously gave the reward.

At that time, he sat in the Ming Hall of the Son of Heaven, announced the loss of ancient books, passed on the national jade seal, and listed Kyushu Baoding, thinking about it was full of dynamics.

Throughout the ages, only one emperor can have both classical books, the jade seal of the country, and the treasure of Kyushu: the first emperor.

Except for the First Emperor, there was no second emperor who could possess all three of these treasures at the same time.

And he, Li Luo, is likely to really have this luck and become the second.

"King Xie rewarded ......" Wanyan Weihuo couldn't imagine that he would not only be able to save everyone's lives, but also get a reward.

He didn't know what treatment the Viscount of Tang Guo had, but it was much better than hiding underground as a rat.

Li Luo heard the words and said: "The widow Yuan Cong is mostly a Jurchen, and the Jurchen people are also widows and children, equivalent to Han people. You have gone to Dongzhou, you can live with peace of mind. ”

"The king is merciful, and the true lord of the world is also, no wonder Jizhou is out." After Yan Weihuo bowed again, "The minister is old, and he is in his last years. This viscount is willing to be transferred to grandchildren, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Li Luo said with a smile: "At present, the titles of the Tang Dynasty are all the founding lords. It can be passed on to future generations, so you don't have to worry. ”

"King Xie......" Wanyan Weihuo was very excited. The title can be inherited, which means that his group finally has something to rely on.

Li Luo immediately wrote a knighthood edict, stamped it with a big seal, and asked people to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites.

After Yan Wei Huo Qian'en withdrew, Wen Tianxiang and the others stood up together and said, "Congratulations to the king!" Jizhou is out, but it is a great omen! ”

Li Luo said: "Don't be busy congratulating the widow first. Jizhou Ding is still buried in Saibei, and I don't know when it will be shipped back. ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "Don't worry, the king. As long as you keep it a secret, wait until the Tartars are driven out and the northern kingdom is restored, and you can dig it out openly and see the light of day! ”

…………

At this time, the northern country has been frozen for thousands of miles, and the snow is drifting for thousands of miles. The majestic capital city is covered in silver, adding a kind of vast domineering.

On the frozen Taiye Pond in the Yuan Palace, the dog sled was pulling a few Mongolian nobles wearing fox furs and struggling to run towards the Guanghan Palace in the middle of the Taiye Pool.

The cowardly guards in the palace all knew that the host kings Naiyan, Shengnahar and others had come to Dadu from Liaodong and Lingbei on the orders of the Great Khan to meet the Great Khan.

Temujin claimed that after the establishment of the Khan's state, he divided the west of the Khan's court to his sons, and the east of the Khan's court to his brothers. This is the origin of the king of the Western Daozong and the king of the Eastern Dao of the Mengyuan Empire.

Temujin once said: "If you have conquered the world, the people of the Golden Family should share the land and share the wealth!" ”

The host province was mainly divided into the four Ulus (vassal states) of Hesar, Hachivin, Temuge, and Belgutai. The vassal king was called "Urus Khan", and his status was higher than that of ordinary clan princes.

The prince of the clan used a seal, but the vassal king used a "treasure". For example, the "treasure" of Temugoulus is the "treasure of the emperor's brother" given by Temujin, and the "treasure of the emperor's nephew and nobleman" is used by Hachiwen Urus.

Due to the Mongolian custom of "keeping the stove for young sons", Temujin's younger brother Temuge received the largest population of land during the partition, so among the four Ulus in the host province, Temuge Ulus was the strongest and was the head of the host vassal domain.

Naiyan, the great-great-grandson of Temuge, is the current vassal king of Temugo's Ulus.

When Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the throne of Khan, the four great Ulus kings of the host province all supported Kublai Khan, which was an important reason for Kublai Khan's victory.

However, as Kublai Khan's position was secured, he began to weaken the power of the host vassal and limit their power.

Kublai Khan forbade the king of the host province to plunder the people as slaves, forbade the use of bows and arrows by tribes such as Shuidada, who shot without permission in his territory, and forcibly recruited the various households under the command of the king of the host to become shipwrights. It was even forbidden for the host king to trade with Goryeo.

Kublai Khan's series of "ungrateful" behaviors made the host king more and more dissatisfied and began to rebel.

However, at this time, the king of the host sect had not yet made up his mind to rebel, and he did not dare to rebel rashly.

Soon, several dog sleds came to the outside of the Guanghan Palace. A Goryeo lieutenant on the steps has been waiting here for a long time.

"The four venerable Urus kings, the Great Khan are already in the Eagle Fang, waiting for the younger generation of the Golden Family, whom he has been thinking about day and night. Come with the minions. ”

Naiyan, who was about 30 years old, stepped down from the dog sled and stepped up the steps.

It's not the first time Nai Yan has come to Dadu. He knew that the Great Khan liked to summon his close courtiers at the Eagle Square. Receiving these host kings in Eagle Fang, of course, was a sign of closeness.

This year is the twenty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are still more than two years before Nayan and others rebelled in history.

In fact, the direct reason why Naiyan rebelled later was that Kublai Khan wanted to withdraw the domain.

That's right. The reason for Naiyan's rebellion is very similar to Wu Sangui in later generations.

Some people in later generations simply pointed out that Kublai Khan deliberately forced Naiyan to rebel.

From the rebellion of the host kings, although the momentum was huge, it can be seen that Kublai Khan was prepared. He set a trap to force Naiyan to rebel, and after suppressing it, he took back the power of Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia.

Historically, Kublai Khan did it. After the suppression of Naiyan and others, Eastern Mongolia and the whole of Liaodong came under the direct control of the Yuan court.

Why did Nai Yan rebel? Because Kublai Khan wanted to deprive him of his rule over Liaodong and bring Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia under the direct control of the Yuan court, which of course violated the interests of the host kings led by Naiyan.

Historically, the fuse of Naiyan's rebellion was the "Liaodong Province".

In the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan established the "Tokyo Province" in the Naiyan fiefdom of Liaodong to take charge of the military and political power in Liaodong.

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that the realizable one has taken away Naiyan's fiefdom and turned him into an empty cylinder sect king.

How could Naiyan, who has an army of 100,000, agree? He has both the reason and the strength to rebel, so why not rebel?

It just so happened that Haidu and others in the Western Dao rose up to rebel against Kublai Khan, and Naiyan simply colluded with the king of the Western Dao Sect to rebel.

But at this time, although the central government of the Yuan Court was pressing step by step, Nai Yan was already rebellious, but Nai Yan's antipathy was not strong. In fact, if it weren't for the "Liaodong Province" that forced him to do so, he would not have easily taken the risk of rebellion.

If Kangxi does not withdraw the domain, will Wu Sangui rebel? Probably not.

History has changed a lot now because of the time-travelers. Will Kublai Khan still implement the "Liaodong Province"?

The vassal kings of the four great Ulus soon met their "day and night" Great Khan, their elder Kublai Khan, in the Eagle Fang.

"Sun Chen meets the great Khan King, my noble and merciful Abge!" Naiyan took the lead in bowing.

Because he was a grandchild of Kublai Khan, he called Kublai Khan Abge (grandfather).

"Great Khan, my esteemed Abg, Thanahar has finally knelt before you!" The current vassal king of Hachiwen Ulus, Shengnahar, was also the grandson of Kublai Khan.

"The Great Khan, my esteemed Abaga (uncle), your dear Achi (nephew), finally see you again!" The current king of the Horus of Horus was the son and nephew of Kublai Khan.

Another nephew, the vassal king of the Ulus of Belgutai, did not do anything, and hurried down to bow down.

These two grandsons and two nephews all presented a list of honors to Kublai Khan.

What sea Dongqing, Dongzhu, ginseng, mink, sand gold and other things, the number is not much, but there are many types.

It's ridiculous to say that these four people rebelled together in history, and they were all suppressed.

"Calm your tired body, my children!" Kublai Khan opened his arms and personally lifted up the four Urus kings.

"You have trekked through mountains and rivers, braving the wind and snow to come to Khan Bali and Tuo, which is really a comfort to me, a lonely old man! It's like four fires burning with cow dung, which warms my heart! Kublai Khan said.

When Nai Yan and the others heard this supreme and noble old man in the whole world, saying such close words, their hearts were filled with long-lost warmth.

"The Great Khan is the head of the Golden Family, the most just elder, and the filial piety of the younger generations is like a sunflower to the sun, and they are the most loyal guards of the Great Khan, and they will not make the Great Khan feel lonely and lonely!" Nayan said.

Kublai Khan asked the group of relatives to sit down on the kang and instructed the Timid Xue guards to bring them hot milk tea and the oldest vintage wine.

A few of the fattest lambs, as well as the forepaws of several black bears, were also roasted golden brown and stewed, and sent to the desks of the four feudal kings.

It seems to be a simple family feast specially prepared by Kublai Khan. In addition to the four major vassal kings and Kublai Khan, it is the crown prince Zhenjin, as well as the two princes in Beijing, King Ning and King Zhennan.

The four of them are not polite, they are all a family anyway, and they don't see each other drinking and eating meat.

Kublai Khan cut four of the fattest pieces of mutton with a golden knife, ordered the guards to give them to the four, picked up the jade cup and said, "How are your days in the steppe and Liaodong?" ”

Naiyan stroked his chest and saluted and said, "Great Khan, your Naiyan is not doing well." ”

The man who was calling for wind and rain in Liaodong said, "We lack a market for each other, and there are not enough slaves, and many tribes are not allowed to use bows and arrows, so it's difficult......"

Many of the tribes he mentioned were not allowed to use bows and arrows, not the Mongol tribes, but the other Hu tribes in the territory. Because Kublai Khan forbade tribes such as Shuidada to use bows and arrows, he limited Nayan's strength.

The other three also complained.

They were not stupid, and of course they knew the purpose of the Great Khan's summoning them. If you don't take the opportunity to make a request at this time, when will you wait?

Kublai Khan sighed and said, "It turns out that your life is so sad, but I am negligent. Well, then I will lift the decree of prohibiting bows and arrows in Sudada and other ministries, and then allow you to exchange markets with Goryeo. Slaves, let you catch more. ”

Nai Yan and the others were overjoyed, and they left the case together and bowed down: "Thank you for the Great Khan Longen!" ”

Kublai Khan smiled: "Flatten your body." You must remember that no matter how big the world is, no matter how many slaves there are, it is also my son's only catty. The meat is rotten and all in the pot. As long as the world is in hand, my son's wealth is iron. ”

"Genghis Khan used the metaphor that an arrow is easy to break, and a bundle of arrows is difficult to break, and warned the people to unite as one, create a great cause together, and keep wealth together, you are all clear. Don't forget the words of the ancestors. ”

Nai Yan said: "Genghis Khan's words are like gold, how dare we forget them?" The Great Khan is relieved. ”

Kublai Khan stood up and pointed to the south, "The south is now making trouble with thieves. They are not only against me, but also against you, but also against all the nobles of the Golden Family. It is like a man who is unwilling to be a slave rises up against his master. ”

"Da Yuan is not only mine, but also yours. Now the thieves want to rebel against your Dayuan, you can watch and do it. Will you suppress the daring minions and take them back as slaves, or will you watch them get bigger and bigger, snatching the food and money that belong to their masters? ”

Nai Yan said: "Great Khan, since the minions have rebelled against the master, the master will not look at them like wild dogs!" What the Great Khan said is like gold, the Great Yuan is the Great Yuan of all the Sons and Sons, and the thieves can't be turned upside down! ”

It's not that he's acting cowardly, but that he really thinks that he should crack down on the thieves.

That's right, he was dissatisfied with the Great Khan, and he was always aggrieved in his heart, and even wanted to rebel. However, if the Han people rise up to create the Great Yuan Dynasty, it will definitely not work!

If you only fight for the Jin family, it will also be a family property. No matter who grabs the sweat position, it is still the world of the Son's Jin. But if the family property is robbed by the thieves, what else do they have to fight for?

At this time, the Mongolian aristocracy was far less degenerate than at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Nayan and the other host sect kings were originally more obedient than the west dao sect kings, so naturally they would not fail to express their positions.

Before Naiyan and the others met Kublai Khan, they were full of resentment against the imperial court, but now after Kublai Khan's rubbing, their resentment did not know where to go.

In their own vassal realms, they are exalted and seem to be omnipotent. Talking about Kublai Khan, I also feel that the Great Khan is old, not so terrible, as if he will fall down if he pushes it.

But once they really faced the Great Khan, they were still afraid from the bottom of their bones, understanding that even if the Great Khan was old, he would still be a terrible and irresistible old man.

As soon as they entered the eagle room today, they were pinched to death by Kublai Khan, completely carried the rhythm, and were unconsciously subdued in momentum.

When Kublai Khan saw that the four of them were well-behaved, he immediately added a grace: "Aren't you complaining that there are not enough slaves?" Let's go to the south and catch it. I promise to give you 800,000 male and female slaves, as long as you have the ability to catch them. ”

There were still 60 or 70 million people in the south, and 800,000 slaves, and Kublai Khan didn't care at all.

Naiyan and the others were overjoyed, what they wanted most now was slaves!

Female slaves, who could bear children for the warriors, multiply their population, and weave cloth for them. Male slaves can be used to work, fight, and grow food.

"Great Khan, your respectful Naiyan is willing to send 50,000 cavalry to suppress the rebels!" Nai Yan said a little excitedly. His subjects included not only the Mongol tribes, but also the Shuidada and other tribes, more than 100,000 households, and of course more than 50,000 cavalry. But the 50,000 cavalry is also half of his soldiers and horses.

Sheng Nahar also said: "Great Khan, Sun Chen did not have many soldiers in Naiyan, and Sun Chen sent 30,000 cavalry!" ”

"My nephew also gave 30,000!"

"My nephew also gave 30,000!"

"Hahaha, good! Sure enough, it is a good son of my golden family, a warrior of Dayuan! I gave you permission to send troops! Kublai Khan laughed.

Today's gentle and gracious means were indeed not in vain. This is the power of the Son of Heaven in the ninth fold, as long as a little grace is given, he can influence the courtiers and make them die.

Dogs who resent their owner's meanness and unkindness will most likely wag their tails again if they suddenly get the meat and bones thrown by their owner.

Who is the emperor? The Lord of the People also. Since he is the master of the man, the art of the emperor is the skill of the master to control the eagle and dog.

This time, the four kings of the host province have a total of 110,000 cavalry, and there are good-looking thieves.

Li Luo, this is my second knife, if you can block it, I still have a third knife, a fourth knife. I'd like to see if you can block a few slashes.

Wait, you lamb.

After Nai Yan and the others expressed their allegiance to send troops, Nai Yan suddenly thought of another question.

"Great Khan, how did our cavalry cross the river? Sun Chen heard that the anti-thief Li Luo's sailor was powerful, and the Yangtze River was locked to death by him. ”

Kublai Khan smiled and said, "This, I already have a plan. When you go back, just send your troops and go south as soon as possible. When I arrive, I will have a secret decree for you. ”

"Wow!" The four feudal kings received their orders together.

When Naiyan and the others left the eagle house after the family banquet, Kublai Khan ordered Prince Zhenjin to personally send them out of the palace to rest, and then sent the Privy Council to envoy Boyan to meet them.

Now, Kublai Khan is worried that the military situation will be leaked, and he rarely discusses the military situation at the court meeting, and discusses it with one or two important ministers in a small area.

"Slave Boyan, meet the Great Khan! Hooray, hooray, hooray! It didn't take long for Boyan to come in with a snowflake.

Kublai Khan brushed the snowflakes on Boyan's body, "I'm flat, drink a cup of milk tea first, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Xie Da Khan!" Boyan finished drinking a cup of hot milk tea and asked respectfully: "Great Khan, how many soldiers and horses did King Nayan send?" ”

"One hundred thousand." Kublai Khan said indifferently, "Not only can I not implement the province of Liaodong, but today I also promised them to exchange markets with Goryeo and lift the ban on bows and arrows from Sudada and other ministries, which is not counted, and I also allowed them to increase slaves." ”

Boyan said with a smile: "The Great Khan is wise, and the minions feel that the Great Khan's move, in the words of the Han people, is really a step back from the sea, air and sky." The Great Khan is the emperor, and this one step is more than 100,000 cavalry. ”

Kublai Khan smiled: "It's not because of Li Luo, a thief. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to. Nayan and them, they should be grateful to Li Luocai. ”

Boyan said: "Please rest assured. The Great Khan gave the servants the errands they had done personally, and the minions had already done almost it. In a month at most, it will be ready. Li Luowan never imagined that the Great Khan still had this move. This move is matched with the soldiers and horses of Nai Yan and others, which is very suitable. ”

Kublai Khan said: "This move seems simple, but the difficulty is sudden. So, the less people know about it, the better. When you hunt an eagle, you can't let the eagle find out. ”

Boyan said solemnly: "The slave remembers the will of the Great Khan. ”

The two of them discussed for a long time before Boyan left the eagle room and left the palace in the snow.

No one knew what the two of them had said.

…………

In late November, Cui Xiuning, who was in Haidong, finally got a report: I found a nitrate mine!

Cui Xiuning put down the rice bowl he had just served, left the original Tang Mansion, and rode a horse to Lanxi County, where the nitrate ore was discovered.

"Villain Lu Wuer, meet Her Royal Highness the Queen!" Cui Xiuning came to the location where the nitrate ore was discovered, and Lu Wuer, the master craftsman of the nitrate, bowed down a little excitedly, "Live up to the queen's trust, God bless the Tang Dynasty, the villain finally found the nitrate mine, and the nitrate is abundant!" ”

Cui Xiuning was relieved to see the mine cave that had been dug up on the side of the mountain.

She has been in Haidong for a month, and she has been urging the nitratemen to look for mines every day, and her heart has been stuck in her throat.

Now, I can finally rest assured.

Lu Wuer, the original spy of the Yuan Court, finally did not disappoint her.

Lu Wuer's month can be described as sleeping in the open air, seizing the day, running around Haidong, and everyone is thin.

Fortunately, this month has not been in vain. He finally found a small nitrate mine.

"Herald! Lu Wuer rewarded a second-class Luban medal! ”

"Herald! All the township warriors and sergeants in Lanxi County are ordered to dig and transport nitrate! ”

"Herald! The craftsman now only does one thing, and starts making gunpowder day and night! If you don't have enough manpower, transfer it from somewhere else! If there are no 5,000 catties of gunpowder a day, they will be punished! ”

Cui Xiuning gave three orders in a row, and then rode back to Luoning City quickly, personally supervising the production of gunpowder.

Five thousand catties of medicine a day, this requirement is seven or eight times that of the previous one, you can imagine how much pressure the craftsman department has.

Fortunately, Cui Xiuning came to Dongzhou this time, and he had already brought a lot of craftsmen from Liangjiang over with him, and the manpower was very sufficient.

"Mother, the king's letter."

As soon as Cui Xining returned to the Tang Mansion in Luoning City, Shi Coral handed her a letter.

Cui Xiuning opened it and took a look, it turned out to be about the Tang Army's anti-Yuan arrangement.

The 400,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance have been stationed in Hengyang. Li Luo said that in about half a month, a big war may break out.

The man also said that if the nitrate mine could not be found, then even if the Tang army could win this battle, there would be many casualties. Once defeated, it will be difficult for Jiangnan to hold.

Li Luo asked her to be optimistic about Dongzhou, which was also the only way for Tang to retreat in case of failure.

Cui Xiuning immediately wrote to Li Luo: "Dear, the nitrate mine has been found, and it is working overtime, and hundreds of gunpowder craftsmen are 797 blessings..."

After the woman finished writing the letter, she handed it to the guards and sent it out quickly.

Then, she opened the map and looked at it, always feeling a little uneasy. But I can't say why I am uneasy. But this uneasiness does not come from Hengyang.

Hengyang has now stationed 400,000 allied troops, and the Yuan army has not yet arrived. Now gunpowder can be produced in large quantities, and there is no major problem in the direction of Hengyang.

Sichuan? But in the direction of Sichuan, there are more than 100,000 troops of the Liang State in the way, even if the Tubo army comes east, the Liang army will at least resist for a while.

Yangtze River and Liangguan? It's okay for now.

But why be uneasy?

Suddenly, Cui Xiuning thought of where she was uneasy.

Large-scale decisive battle in the south, could it be that Uncle Kublai Khan will only watch the excitement? He will only wait for the result?

How can it be!

Kublai Khan will definitely make a move, and it will have a great impact on the situation of the war. He couldn't... Do nothing!

However, since Kublai Khan did not issue any military orders in the court recently, but only discussed secretly with a very small number of courtiers, the special investigation bureau could not figure out what Kublai Khan was going to do for a while.

"Sango, send Li Silk to see me."

"No!"

Soon a petite woman came in, "Teacher." ”

"Li Sui, you immediately send a message to Li Yong and ask him to summarize all the anomalies he has collected. Not only the capital, but the entire northern abnormality, all summarized. ”

"No!" Li Silk was ordered to go out in a hurry.

Cui Xiuning sat in a daze for a long time, and suddenly wrote down another warrant:

"Dongzhou Shepherd Guards Yamen: Select the elite soldiers of the ten counties and townships in Dongzhou, come to Luoning to gather, temporarily set up two battalions of the township Yong battalion, and train the regular soldiers! The Xiangyong battalion is all equipped with spears, and all the armor in Haidong is handed over to the Xiangyong! ”

There are 100,000 villagers in the ten counties of Dongzhou, in fact, they are the original peasant soldiers, who usually farm and train in their spare time.

However, due to the strict training of the Tang army, even if it is a village warrior, it is not a rabble, and its combat strength will not be much worse than that of the traitor army of the Yuan Dynasty. At least the queue and basic tactics will still be there.

Cui Xiuning's order is tantamount to temporarily turning Xiangyong into a regular army and training it as a regular army.

With the queen's order, all parties in Dongzhou did not dare to slack off, and in less than four days, 50,000 of the strongest villagers gathered outside Luoning City, showing Haidong's unparalleled efficiency.

Cui Xiuning transferred the guards around him to temporarily serve as the senior general of the Xiangyong Battalion. On the same day, Xiang Yong settled in the camp left by the Tang Army and began the same hard training as the regular army.

The food and military pay of the Xiangyong are also the same as those of the regular army. But they train for only one tactical move: stab!

On the second day after the formation of the Xiangyong Battalion, Cui Xiuxiu wore red armor and led a team of guards to ride to the camp to review the exercise.

Tens of thousands of village warriors who had already received queue training, under the command of the temporary generals, knelt down on one knee together and shouted like a tsunami: "Meet Madame!" Datang will win! ”

Although Cui Xiuning is already the queen, the people of Haidong have not changed and still habitually call her Mrs.

ps: Please support me a lot, where are the recommended votes? The data of this ticket is really unwatchable. Good night, everyone!
