Chapter 398: Yuphro Xin
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "You will never be able to do my training method." It's not that you don't have the ability, it's that you spend too much money, and it's no less than building roads. The money I spent to train one soldier is enough for you to train ten, that is, the Southern Song Dynasty was rich, and it is impossible to change to another place. You've seen a lot of equipment, and you've seen more. As for the arrows, I know that you have secretly copied them, and I am not afraid to tell you that the cost of that arrow is five times that of a normal arrow, and that they will shoot at least ten times as much each! I'm the richest in the world, right? Only 30,000 such soldiers have been trained, and even I can't afford more. β
All the generals are experts, and when they hear it, they know that what Cheng Yue said is not an exaggeration. Only three to five pieces of silk ** anti-arrow for each person is a huge expense, armor, swords, and crossbows are more expensive than silk **, and Cheng Yue is training soldiers, which can be called at a loss.
And Cheng Yue said first, the weapons in the army will not be sold to Dayuan, even if the Yuan Dynasty has invested a lot of effort to train the same elite soldiers as Cheng Yue, it still can't be without the same equipment. Among them, crossbows and knives are the most important, and Cheng Yue certainly can't let the Yuan Dynasty get them.
Zhang Hongfan sighed gloomily and silently stepped aside. He has been in the army for a long time, and he can see at a glance that Cheng Yue's military training is the best, but he can't learn it.
It would be nice if Cheng Yue was really the prince of Dayuan! Zhang Hongfan sighed in his heart.
Cheng Yue invited them to come, of course, to take care of the meal. He has always wanted to win over the generals, and this meal is to treat them, and the banquet is naturally very rich.
Cheng Yue called Zhang Xiaozhong and others together, and all the generals arrived and were relaxed. Very different from before the war.
There was laughter and laughter during the banquet. Happiness knows no bounds. Unconsciously. The generals of the Yuan army have integrated into the serious and lively atmosphere in Cheng Yue's army, and they feel very comfortable and happy, and their relationship with Cheng Yue is getting better and better, and they really regard themselves as Cheng Yue's subordinates. Waiting for Cheng Yue to take them on the expedition next time.
Cheng Yue was not idle, and Kublai Khan was even more intense.
After some preparations, the Kuritai Conference was held, and Haidu, Timur, Duwa, and Hehu all offered their waist knives and the soil and water they had brought from the feudal kingdom. Formally ask Kublai Khan for forgiveness and canonization, which was the custom of the Mongol surrender. At the same time, it also represents the recognition of the legitimacy of Kublai Khan's throne by the major khanates, marking the reunification of Mongolia, which was divided after the death of MΓΆngke Khan, at least formally!
Kublai Khan agreed one by one, canonized them again, and swore an oath with the four khanates that there would be no more attacks against each other, the four khanates would always be vassals, and all disputes would be decided by Kublai Khan.
The Kuritai Conference was held for more than half a month, and Mongolian nobles continued to arrive to attend. Kublai Khan's throne was posthumously recognized, and all his opponents bowed down. So that Kublai Khan was elated every day. I've never been happier in my life.
Cheng Yue did not slacken, training his troops day by day, to roughly train the new army formed by the slaves, and to strengthen the training of cavalry, which did not look like the war had ended.
On this day, Talahai and other concubines and the three princesses took time out of the Kuritai Conference to eat, Cheng Yue was naturally happy to entertain, and he couldn't find a chance to have a private meeting with Nuhan and Sa Buhu, and it was okay to sneak around his little hands under the table.
When the concubines first saw Kutolon, they were all surprised by her overly tall figure, and unconsciously wanted to come over to compare with her.
The average height of women in the Southern Song Dynasty was only a little more than one and a half meters, and Zhang Shufang, the tallest among the concubines, was less than one meter seven.
Ku Toulon is very generous, and at the same time, she also understands very well the truth of getting along with the concubines, so she does not refuse to come to compare her height, and she calls "sister, sister" more affectionately, without the slightest princess shelf, which makes the concubines full of good feelings for her at once.
Rou Niang and Zhang Shufang are obviously the most favored among the concubines, and Ku Toulon has more respect for them.
Rou Niang was bold enough to let Kutoulun pick her up and test how powerful Kutoulun was. As a result, Toulon easily hugged Rou Niang horizontally, and raised it three times in a row, which made Rou Niang laugh more than once.
Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen can't help but secretly admire Kutoulon's methods, although their relationship with the concubines is good, but after all, there is still a layer of princess identity and Cheng Yue's status as Cheng Yue's wife, it is difficult to mingle with the concubines without any gaps like Kutoulon.
Zhang Shufang looked at the three princesses thoughtfully. Cheng Yue went north, originally only wanted to marry one princess, but now that there are three princesses here, will there be many branches in the inner house in the future? Who do Wan Ze and Ding Niang respect in the end? How do I get along with them? These are unanswered questions.
After dinner, Cheng Yue went out of the tent conveniently, and when he came back, he met Nuhan and used the excuse that it was convenient to come out, and the two hurriedly hid behind the tent and kissed.
After a while, Nu Han finally pulled his tongue back from Cheng Yue's mouth, and said coquettishly: "You really have the ability, there are so many beautiful princesses in Mongolia, all of them were taken away by you at once, do you know how many people will hate you?" β
Cheng Yue smiled: "I haven't succeeded yet, I'll talk about it when I succeed." β
Nuhan slapped Cheng Yue's hand that was stretched into her arms, and said resentfully: "You only think about them, what should I do?" β
Cheng Yue said seriously: "I really thought about it, but I can't tell you now, I'm not sure at all." β
Nuhan didn't expect any result between her and Cheng Yue, it was impossible, she just wanted to be coquettish when she said this, and said with a smile: "You have a conscience." Don't be embarrassed, you can come to Dadu from time to time to see me. I thought about it, after returning to Dadu, you can find an excuse to come to the palace, and I will separate the people in my palace, and do whatever you want, and the people around me have very tight mouths. You can't stay for a few days, so I'll accompany you as much as I can. β
Cheng Yue nodded contemplatively, and said, "What is the relationship between you and Sa Buyu?" β
Nuhan smiled and said, "Do you have an affair with her?" I think she seems to be very protective of you. β
Cheng Yue kissed her on the mouth and said with a smile: "Don't be jealous, so that you are not alone in the palace, isn't it good for someone to say what is in their hearts?" β
Nuhan suddenly fell silent and said faintly, "How do you know that I am alone in the palace? β
Cheng Yue hugged her gently and said, "It's not just you, in fact, several of you are very lonely, I know all this." Nanbi was favored and gave birth to the youngest prince of the Great Khan. Bo wants Uzhen's only daughter to marry into Goryeo, you have no children and no daughters, and the Great Khan has rarely been blessed with you over the years, so it's no wonder that you are not alone. This time I came out and had a good time, enough to go back and talk about it for a few years, right? Others see you as noble and have everything, but I think you are miserable, so many nights have to be spent alone, no matter how windy or rainy, can you not feel uncomfortable? β
Nu Han punched Cheng Yue hard, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't worry about it!" What can you do if it sounds good? β
Cheng Yue hugged her into his arms again, and said in her ear: "The solution is thought up by people, as long as it is my Cheng Yue's woman, I will never ignore it!" Believe me or not. β
Nuhan pressed his face to his chest and said with tears in his eyes: "It's not that I don't believe you, no matter how great your ability is, what can you do?" Even if I can get the Great Khan to abolish me, at most I can only live in the cold palace, so what will my tribe do? Mongolia is the Mongolia of the Great Khan, you better remember it clearly and not be delusional. β
Cheng Yue stroked her shoulder and smiled slightly, and said firmly: "I also want you to remember one thing, what I Cheng Yue said has always counted, I said that I will not ignore you, I will definitely do it." β
Nuhan raised his head, stared at Cheng Yue deeply, and said, "I'm more than ten years older than you, don't try to lie to me." β
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "Do you have candy to eat?" Don't take age seriously, I don't care. All you have to do is remember that you are my woman, and I am not one to take advantage of it and run away. β
Nuhan rubbed Cheng Yue's body where she had just been beaten, his eyes were faintly filled with tears, and he said softly: "Anyway, I can't go anywhere, you can watch it." All you have to do is talk and count, and I'll wait for you to pick me up. β
Cheng Yue knew that she didn't believe it, so he simply stopped explaining, hugged Nu Han, and lingered with her for a while, afraid that others would be suspicious, so he returned to the tent one after another.
The Kuritai Congress was a complete success as scheduled, and Kublai Khan finally became the Great Khan recognized by all the Mongol nobility. Cheng Yue, as the commander of the overall situation in this campaign, was prestigious, and wherever the golden dragon banner on the red background went, except for the khans, princes and important ministers, ordinary Mongolian nobles had to avoid it.
On the last day of the Kuritai Conference, everything was decided, Kublai Khan feasted the ministers, all the Mongolian nobles and important ministers attended, and Cheng Yue was naturally a nobleman.
Cheng Yue arrived relatively late, and when he walked into the Golden Horde, he found that there were more strange women in the seat, they were all the wives and concubines of the Khan kings, and there was no serious business to talk about today, they were specially appointed to serve the Khan kings.
Beside Nahai knelt a beautiful woman in a magnificent purple European aristocratic robe, in her early twenties, with long chestnut hair, skin better than snow, and extraordinary beauty, and a delicate cross hanging from her full chest, which was inlaid with at least a dozen exquisite gems, which were of great value.
"Yufro Xin!" Cheng Yue said secretly in his heart.
Time pushed back to before Cheng Yue entered the account, the first time Yufu Luo Xinshengping saw so many Mongolian nobles, and there was still the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan sitting on the throne, so frightened that her whole person kept shrinking back.
She was only the youngest illegitimate daughter of Michael VIII, not a princess in the true sense of the Byzantine Empire, and Michael VIII gave her to Nahai only to please the Mongols. Today she followed Nahai here, for fear that Nahai would send her to the Mongol Khan again. After the Mongols surrendered, they often sent women to show their submission and to get closer to each other by the way. She was a European nobleman, and her appearance was different from that of the Mongols, which made her a good gift. (To be continued......)
