Chapter 245: The Troubles of the Great Leader Kublai Khan
Kublai Khan, the big boss at that time, certainly had his self-confidence.
The construction of the capital city is far from what it used to be, and the craftsmen of Dayuan have long learned to fire cement and use reinforced concrete...... Although the quality of cement is not as good as that produced in the Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot be compared with that produced in Liuqiu Island, it is far better than the Sanhe soil or yellow mud in the past.
Therefore, the walls around the capital city are much taller and stronger than in the past...... Moreover, on the periphery of the capital, the big boss Kublai Khan also set up several secret military camps, which were full of elite ironclad cavalry.
On the city walls, he also arranged huge stone and bronze cannons...... Although his craftsmen could not make more elaborate marching cannons with a longer range, they could make working marching cannons, and even more so thick and bulky garrison cannons.
When the huge stone cannon and bronze cannon were test-fired, it was also sonic boom nine days away, and the cannon was four or five miles away!
At that time, he also formed an arquebus team and a pistol team, and placed them at the head of the city, even if thousands of troops came to attack the city, it would be in vain!
The bandit group that originally hated the city has now learned to defend the city.
The Tatar robbers started out of the destitute steppes, and in their years of warfare, they continued to learn from other peoples, and they could kill anyone except the craftsmen.
As long as others have any new weapons, they must learn to master them, and they will never be confined to any east, west, north, south and culture.
Kublai Khan had never fought lightly against the Liuqiu army, so his confidence in his firearms and equipment was greatly increased.
Once the Liuqiu army comes to attack, use the city of the capital as a chopping block, and the cavalry on the periphery as a quick knife...... As many strong soldiers come, as many as they come, they will die.
However, the nobles of the Tatar bandit group objected with silence.
It's enough to maintain the current situation, where else dare to go south...... The silence of the nobles made the great leader Kublai Khan helpless, and without their wholehearted support, his ambition could only be a slogan.
Pingzhang Ahma reported to the big boss Kublai Khan, saying that the material reserves of the Great Yuan could only maintain the current military strength, and it was simply not enough to launch a major war from the north to the south.
And that's when they only go to fights, rob, whatever the construction.
Pingzhang Ahma's official position has not changed, but his real power is far less than before, and the big boss Kublai Khan is paying less and less attention to him, and in his opinion, the big boss Kublai Khan's attitude towards him is about to be the same as that of those Hanchen.
At present, the Great Yuan is alive with the high yield of new grain varieties and the tribute of the Great Song Dynasty...... Originally, he could have gained more benefits by doing a big livestock and leather business with the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
But now the price of big livestock was so cheap that he had never heard of it.
The best skins can't be sold for a price...... I heard that Da Song not only has whale skins in the sea, but also kangaroo skins, listen, they can even use mouse skins.
In the past, the nobles of the Tatar bandit group asked to go north, return to the steppes they were familiar with, and regain strength!
Some asked to go west, to other khanates to find their brothers, and the more horses gathered, the more powerful they became!
Pingzhang Ahmad privately said to the big leader Kublai Khan:
"O Supreme Great Khan, anyone can leave the capital, but you cannot.
They will be nobles wherever they go, and you are the Great Khan of the Great Yuan only in Dadu! ”
Kublai Khan, the big leader, thought so, so he found an excuse to capture two exemplars from among the nobles who were clamoring to go north and west, cut off their heads in the name of arbitrary corruption, and all the members of the family were enslaved, and their property was robbed and distributed to others.
In this way, the clamor for going north and west was silenced.
But where is the way out for Dayuan...... No one can give an answer.
Just when everyone was getting by and outdated, there was news from Dengzhou that the firearms of the Liuqiu Navy were becoming more and more violent, and the range was getting farther and farther!
Their navy is like this, and what will happen to the army?!
It's a pity that the details can't be transmitted back to their army...... But their cavalry units could still be seen in the distance.
In a few years, they built up an all-firearms cavalry of 10,000 men!
The more news like this, the more uneasy everyone becomes...... No one has ever dared to respond to and recapture the East Shandong Road, and even the idea of bypassing them and attacking the Great Song Dynasty from the Hetao area has not been supported.
It wasn't until after the establishment of the so-called Great Shang and many members of the federal empire that some Hanchen began to be eager to try, and they said: "The Great Song Dynasty thinks it is a great power, how can it allow the Liuqiu Island, which is only separated by a narrow strait, to call itself an empire and proclaim itself king?!"
Next to the side couch, how can they be allowed to sleep soundly?! ”
Kublai Khan, the great leader, had been marginalizing the Hanchens, and several times he had been involved in the great defeats of the Liuqiu army, which he believed were all related to the bad ideas offered by the Hanchens.
In fact, he is also marginalizing the Lustful people.
An excuse is an excuse, but the situation is stronger than the person.
After these defeats, the nobles of the Tatar bandit group were boiling...... They are indeed huge losses.
If you use the Hanchen and Semu people to balance the nobles, I am afraid that there will be a big mess.
Without the help of people of Tatar origin, he would have achieved nothing.
Kublai Khan, the big leader, casually agreed to the Hanchen's suggestion and asked him to lead people to sow discord in the name of the mission.
If it succeeds, it's better, if it doesn't, let them ask for some supplies back.
Kublai Lie, the big boss, was able to see the main newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty and the Federal Empire, but the date was later, which did not delay anything.
He found that none of the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty reported on the mission's mission...... And it seems that no one has any opinion on the creation of a federal empire...... At most, the Federal Empire is a maritime country, and the land is basically large and small islands.
The big boss Kublai Khan, of course, could also buy the so-called world map.
He looks at it every day...... Every time he looked at the map, he was proud of the territory of his ancestors, and coveted that his brother khanate, which seemed to be no smaller than his.
There is still a large area of land further north of the capital, but he is really unmoved, as a Tatar, how can he not know that there is a winter that no one can survive!
He had seen a tribe of 2,000 people freeze to death in a cold wind.
No amount of land in the north would attract him.
Of course, he also saw the territory of the Federal Empire, hehe, all islands...... If there were no big ships, it would not be possible to possess them one by one in 10,000 years.
The big boss Kublai Khan is completely dead, and he wants to counterattack the federal empire in the future...... As for those overseas islands, he doesn't want to give them for nothing.
At this time, he desperately sent all kinds of firearms to his brother country of Ilkhan, and then obtained slaves and other supplies he needed from his brother.
Although the cost of land transportation is much higher than that of sea transportation, if you use a lot of pack horses and camels, the time is really similar to that of sea transportation.
The Silk Road, built by the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty a long, long time ago, is now being used smoothly by the Tatar bandits.
