Liu Bingzhong went through the matter of Gong Qianbai being renamed King Yu in detail, and at the same time introduced the situation of the Mingjiao uprising in the Central Plains from the Ministry of Planning.

"The Mingjiao uprising happened before, but in fact, they played the banner of the White Lotus Sect, and the trouble was vigorous, and the news came mainly from Henan Jiangbei Province, but in fact, basically there was turmoil in all places north of Meiling that were not occupied by the South Temple, and it was obviously premeditated."

"According to the report of the Ministry of Planning, there were originally people in the Liangguang area who organized an uprising, but there were too few responders, and they were strangled by the South Hall with a thunderous force, and they did not stay overnight at all."

"Now the Mongol kings value their land, soldiers and wealth very seriously, they are no longer willing to fight, only willing to guard their fiefdoms, so when the news of the large-scale uprising of the Ming Sect reached Dadu the night before, half of the nobles who stayed in Dadu immediately began to pack their bags, and left Dadu early yesterday morning to return to the fiefdom!"

"Early this morning, the Empress Dowager summoned Yan Timur and Boyan and a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures, but no one was willing to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, on the contrary, almost everyone immediately recommended the master to go south to suppress the rebellion. The Empress Dowager thought twice and decided to change the title of master to King Yu, and none of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs objected! ”

Gong Qianbai thought for a long time after hearing this, and then asked Liu Bingzhong: "Have any of our people been attacked?" ”

"No such news has come yet! At present, the news about the South Temple, the latest is the previous one, it was transmitted through the letter eagle in the secret language of the Taigong, and everything is going well, and we have all seen it, it doesn't look like it's fake! ”

"The power of the Ming Sect is extraordinary, I suspect that the reason why we are so smooth in the south may be due to the fact that the Ming Sect secretly released water...... Gong Qianbai told everyone what he had seen and heard during his trip to Helan Mountain, and several people were silent after listening to it, obviously these situations were outside the scope of everyone's grasp.

"The original strategy in the south was that I was a little impatient!" Gong Qianbai sighed and said, "At that time, I thought that with you, it was easy to get it, but I didn't expect that the longer I lived in this world, the deeper the water in this world became, and now I suddenly popped up a Ming Sect, which really caught me off guard!" This time, they worked hard to lure me to Helan Mountain, in fact, they wanted to subdue our forces, and obviously my attitude was not friendly to them! Now the reason why they haven't done anything to our forces is that they have the idea of not giving up, but I believe that soon they will lose patience and secretly attack us! ”

"The hosts! Should we shrink first and focus on self-protection at this stage? Li Mi hesitated, "In fact, we haven't figured out the situation in many places now, and we don't know enough about many forces and interest groups, so that this trip to Helan Mountain seems to be very passive." There is a saying in the Art of War, which is called "first invincible, then invincible", and then the enemy is invincible, which I think is very reasonable and suitable for our current situation. We should also consolidate the power we already possess, let the court and the Ming Sect fight each other, and we will reap the benefits; Instead of us fighting with the imperial court and Mingjiao at the same time, we must be the first to lose in the end! ”

Gong Qianbai, who was talking, nodded again and again: "That's exactly the reason, I think so too!" I decided to change my strategy and expand the territory of the South Hall to the Yangtze River and Sichuan Shu, with the Yangtze River, Daba Mountain, and Qinling Mountains as the borders, and strictly defend them, and at the same time recruit Han people, develop production, and build our iron bucket country! On the other hand, I can use my status as the king of Yu to control the Central Plains, on the one hand, as our buffer zone, and on the other hand, once there is a change on the Mongol side, I can immediately send troops to the actual battle territory! ”

Li Mi pondered for a while, nodded and said: "The master's office, both offensive and defensive, is reasonable, and his subordinates agree!" ”

Liu Bingzhong and others also nodded in approval, and Gong Qianbai asked people to urgently send orders:

First, order the East Temple to immediately raise troops and capture Jiangnan; Ordered the West Hall to retreat to Hanzhong, and not to let any enemy step into Hanzhong; Ordered the north hall to immediately evacuate from Liaoyang and go to Yuzhou to standby.

Second, the center of the military, political, strategic, commercial, and cooperation departments will be moved to Jiangxia, and Jiangxia will be regarded as the "national capital" for a long time to come.

Third, at the same time as the capture of Jiangnan, he sent troops to disguise himself as Mongols, strongly confiscated all wealthy households, confiscated his family property, destroyed all paper deeds such as house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds, destroyed all official documents and archives, and returned all land to Gongying

Fourth, write to the imperial court, asking for food, money, and soldiers. The grain is 500,000 stones, the money is 1,000,000 taels of gold, and the soldiers are 200,000. In addition, ask for Hanchen and Han generals, and ask for Lu Sicheng, Ouyang Xuan, Lin Quansheng, Li Hao, and Zhang Qiyan.

Fifth, it is necessary to drive the people of the Ming Sect and the imperial court, as well as all other uncontrollable forces, to the north of the Yangtze River and even the Yellow River, and let them consume each other, not make wedding dresses for them.

Sixth, pack up immediately and prepare to enter Luoyang!

……

Gong Qianbai's official document asking for food, money, and soldiers was passed to Yan Timur, which provoked Yan Timur to scold for a while, and finally let people send it directly to the queen mother; When the queen mother received the official document, she was also worried, and hurriedly summoned Boyan and Yan Timur to the palace for deliberations. Boyan went obediently, but Yan Timur only sent his son Tang Qishi into the palace.

"Queen Mother! What my father means is that now the court is in difficulty, there is no food, no money, no soldiers, and King Yu is a descendant of Temujin, and he has no credit, and now it is very inappropriate to open his mouth and close his mouth to ask for this and that, and it is recommended that the Queen Mother sternly refuse! ”

Tang Qishi was furious, and the more angry he became.

The Queen Mother glanced at Boyan and comforted Tang Qishi and said: "What the prime minister said is true!" Hongu knows it! But what King Yu asked for was not too much, he now only had 100,000 soldiers on Yidu Road, and he had to stay to guard the place; If he doesn't give him anything, he won't be able to fight! ”

Tang Qishi replied: "Queen Mother, now that he Tara is the king of Yu, it is his duty to suppress the rebellion of his fiefdom, and these problems should be solved by himself!" ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and asked Tang Qishi: "If he insists on not going south, then what?" ”

"This ......"

Tang Qishi couldn't answer. If the opportunity is missed, even if it is reprimanded or even punished by King Yu, it will be useless, and it is the entire Great Yuan Dynasty that suffers, including his Yan Timur family.

"Why don't you do it!" Boyan stood up at the right time, "It's true that there is no money, food, and soldiers, but he is allowed to collect taxes and recruit troops in Henan Jiangbei Province, and all the military and political power is given to him, so that he can solve these problems by himself, right?" ”
