Chapter 49: The Beginning of the Decline of the Red Cult

Cheng Yue understood his thoughts and said: "Your merits are real, because of your presence, I have no worries about the future, and I can rest assured that I can fight with Ah Shu, and the credit is by no means less than that of the soldiers who went out to fight." Take it with confidence. Tokhtar put the gun away with peace of mind.

The other generals also had their own rewards, but none of them had pistols to make people happy.

Yang Ting asked, "I don't know how Gongzi is going to deal with Boyan?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Wait! Boyan has now sent the war report to Dadu, and I want to see how Kublai Khan's next step is to decide how to act. Tomorrow Zhang Gui will take half of the thousand households to guard the camp, and the remaining half of the thousand households will go to Pingjiang with the people who came back with me, I will go to see my recruits, and you will also go to see how I train the recruits, and in the future, the veterans will also be trained in rotation, so that the whole army can be uniform. ”

The generals took orders and dispersed.

At the same time, in the capital of Yuan, the glorious capital that the Mongols called Han Bali, Kublai Khan was gathering a large number of monks and craftsmen to study the warheads sent by Boyan.

Kublai Khan is in a very bad mood these days, and his originally extremely smooth southern expedition was about to be completed, when suddenly a person named Cheng Yue popped out of nowhere. The first shot killed Ah Rahan, and then killed Dong Wenbing's family. The death of these two generals made him feel a heartache. They were all generals that he relied on very much, and he thought that they would be reused in the future, but they died so inexplicably. Especially Dong Wenbing, who can be literate and martial, is loyal, and will be in charge of the government in the future, which is really a pity. couldn't help but issue an order to reproach Boyan, and also cut him to the third level of knighthood, so that he could make meritorious contributions.

Who knew that before he could come out of his grief, he would get another battle report.

It was that Cheng Yue again, who actually led only fifty people to deceive into Ali Hague's residence, rescued Li Fu's 3,000 people, and captured Ali Hague and almost all 10,000 households, which is not counting, and actually deceived 5,000 elites with tricks. Then Cheng Yue coerced Ali Hague to write a handwritten letter, and then ran to deceive Lu Shikui and Wu Liangbi, took Xie Fangde, and even cheated away 10,000 sailors even more!

Awesome! If it weren't for the enemy, Kublai Khan would have applauded him! What kind of monster is this, how can you come up with such an idea? It turns out that the battle can be fought like this?!

Kublai Khan did not hesitate to approve the reward that Boyan reported. However, he also instructed that if anyone can capture Cheng Yue alive, the reward will be doubled! If Cheng Yue can be persuaded to reduce the yuan, he will personally reward him.

The result? A few days later, the battle report came. Cheng Yue killed Rinchen Gyaltsen, the younger brother of the national teacher Phagsipa and hundreds of other great lamas, along with Jali Timur, Busy Gu, Yiqili, Yan Che'er, and Kubuhua.

The death of these living Buddhas and generals finally made Kublai Khan cry profusely. The loss was too great for him to bear. Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, so many rare generals are dead, where to find someone to replace them? He hasn't found a candidate for Ali The Hague yet.

Rinchen Gyaltsen is the next generation of the Red Sect, and Pasipa was about to return to Tibet, but now he has to stay and perform several Dharma services for his younger brother.

Kublai Khan also attended with the empress. But when doing things, many Mongolian nobles whispered, saying that the Red Sect of Ba Si Pa was probably a cult, otherwise how could it be inferior to the monks of the Song Dynasty? Both Kublai Khan and the empress were overshadowed by the Eight Sipas and believed in the Red Sect, knowing how serious the consequences would be if such a thing was really discussed. Immediately issued an edict that Rinchen Gyaltsen was reborn in Nirvana, and the national teacher of Phags-pa prayed for it and was not to attack.

However, even if they were not attacked on the surface, the incense of the Red Sect in the temples in Dadu and various places had suddenly decreased a lot, and the lamas of the Red Sect could not raise their heads one by one, and many bad deeds were also exposed, but it was only because of Kublai Khan's holy decree that Yushitai did not attack.

The Han temples and Taoist temples are flourishing with incense, and even the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty secretly go to offer incense donations, and those who are inconvenient to go also ask a Buddha statue to offer at home.

Kublai Khan knew all this, but what could he do? In fact, even he himself became suspicious of the Red Sect. What about mana, you are talking about? What about your dual cultivation? Why is Cheng Yue unharmed, but you are all dead? What kind of supernatural power is this? Although Phags-pa approached Kublai Khan several times and tried to justify himself, no matter what he said, Kublai Khan could not believe him as much as he used to. Thinking of the bad deeds of the Red Sect that he had deliberately ignored before, Kublai Khan couldn't help but wonder if he had been deceived by the cult. But when it was clear that the Red Sect had won the debate. Kublai Khan only felt that when he thought of this incident, he was one head and two big, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Today, Kublai Khan summoned so many people to figure out the secret of Cheng Yue's weapon, and only by cracking this secret can he avenge so many people. Kublai Khan's anger was already burning, and he had changed his mind, and he must cut this Cheng Yue with a thousand knives in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

The warhead was passed repeatedly in the hands of these people, and it was speculated for an unknown amount of time, but no one dared to come forward and tell Kublai Khan what it was.

Kublai Khan gradually grew impatient.

He pointed to a Han craftsman leader, who was a master of making firecrackers, and said, "You say, is this a firecracker?" ”

The Han man was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Qi Yu Great Khan, this kind of projectile slave has never been seen. It looks like steel, but it's much better than steel. None of the steel used to forge knives in our army is so good. This shape is good for flying in the air, but how can you beat it out and still make it fly smoothly? The minion thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of it. Moreover, it is said that it flew nearly a thousand steps away, and now the best gunpowder can fly at most a hundred and eighty steps to hit such a heavy projectile, and the minions are ignorant and really don't know how to do it. What's more, it can be launched continuously. The minion can only say that if it is a fire gun, it must be a fire gun that the minion can't even think of, I don't know if I can find one, let the minion take a look, and then understand what is going on. ”

Kublai Khan frowned and said, "You said a difficult problem. I've already ordered to get one at any cost, but I haven't had a chance yet. That Cheng Yue is very cautious. ”

He pointed to a lama and said unceremoniously, "Do you see what's coming?" ”

The lama smiled bitterly, where did Kublai Khan have this attitude towards them before? If the national teacher of Pasipa refused to come, he didn't dare to say anything wrong, and now he can only endure it. Immediately said respectfully: "Hui Great Khan, whether this projectile is a demon weapon or not, I am still not sure." We won't know what to do until we go back and look through the various texts. The Great Khan can rest assured, the Dharma is boundless, and the demons succeed for a while, and it is only ......"

"Alright." Kublai Khan interrupted him impatiently and said, "Go back and check, and report the results to me immediately, and I will not keep you." ”

The red-clothed lamas looked at each other and could only retreat with a salute. The few yellow-clothed lamas who were deliberately invited here did not dare to stay, and then retired.
