Chapter 388: Mongol Jianyuan
"The 100,000 soldiers who were drawn from the Hezhou Imperial Army and the Dingkun Army, who were at home in Sichuan, Yunnan, Jingzhaofu Road, Qingyuan Road, Lintao Road, and Fengxiang Road, left the barracks on December 20 and returned to the barracks on the 20th of the first month of the next year.

Wu Shaogang said this, and everyone was not surprised.
The grain and grass have been raised, all the preparations have been completed, everyone originally thought that the attack on Henan Road would be launched before the year, but Wu Shaogang decided to postpone it, which was also because the Mongol army's attack on Xiangyang Fucheng was frustrated.
Wu Shaogang decided to let the soldiers whose families in Sichuan return home to spend the Spring Festival because he considered that once the war spreads, many soldiers will never be able to return home, and this expedition will definitely not end in a short time.
The order of the yamen was quickly conveyed.
To the surprise of Wu Shaogang and others, the vast majority of the many soldiers with high morale actually chose to stay in the barracks, and only a small part went home for the Spring Festival.
The morale is so high, which Wu Shaogang and others did not expect.
The six years of Xianchun have finally passed.
This year, Sichuan, Yunnan and Jingzhaofu Road and other places were calm, the Mongol army still did not capture Xiangyang Fucheng, the capital did its best, but it was not able to break through the encirclement of the Mongol army and rush to the aid of Xiangyang Fucheng, and Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court also made up their minds to concentrate their main energy on the south, ignoring the rebellion in Mobei and other places.
The arrival of the Spring Festival finally made Wu Shaogang a little easier, and the stability of Jingzhaofu Road and other places made Wu Shaogang greatly relieved, but fortunately, now it is not as good as a thousand years later, the people who have been relocated on a large scale, once the grain has a bumper harvest, they will not starve, they will be satisfied, and there are not too many other pursuits, which also makes the festival make the yamen a lot less things.
The biggest change in this year is the quietly increasing number of sergeants.
The total strength of the Hezhou Imperial Army controlled by the Yamen has increased to 130,000, the total strength of the Dingkun Army has exceeded 20,000, the total strength of the Imperial Army of Xingyuan Mansion has reached 40,000, and the total strength of the Jinzhou Imperial Army has also reached 30,000, that is to say, the total number of the army controlled by Wu Shaogang is close to 250,000.
This was unimaginable a few years ago, even now, Wu Shaogang felt a little surprised, you must know that with Sichuan and Yunnan and other places, it is really not easy to feed an army of more than 200,000.
However, such a situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and Wu Shaogang must expand his territory in order to truly maintain the expenses of the huge army.
There were 100,000 troops involved in the battle, and the other more than 100,000 troops were responsible for maintaining the stability of Sichuan, Yunnan and Jingzhaofu Road.
Wu Shaogang is very comfortable, after many years of Taoguang cultivation, it is finally time to show his skills.
During the Spring Festival, Wu Shaogang basically accompanied his family at home, his parents and father-in-law, from the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Hanwei and others couldn't believe that Wu Shaogang Jue could be at home for such a long time.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court issued an edict to the world, which made Sichuan no longer peaceful.
Kublai Khan and the Mongol court officially established the name of the country as the Great Yuan.
This news shocked Wu Shaogang, in history, Kublai Khan and the Mongol court established the Great Yuan Dynasty, which should be at the end of the year, and Kublai Khan decided to establish the Great Yuan Dynasty according to the suggestions of Liu Bingzhong and others, and its country name was taken from the meaning of "Qianyuan" in the Book of Changes.
The so-called Qianyuan is the meaning of the beginning of the way of heaven, that is, the beginning of all materials in spring.
Kublai Khan and the Mongol court, for a long time, have always referred to themselves as the Great Mongol State, which means that the Mongol court is Mongol and has little to do with other people, which also invisibly prevented Kublai Khan and the Mongol court from absorbing talents from other aspects on a large scale, and then Kublai Khan created the Great Yuan Dynasty, indicating that his rule was not just the Mongol court.
It should be said that Kublai Khan and the Mongol court have actually ruled the Central Plains, and most of the governance methods, as well as the setting of court officials, etc., are modeled after the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State, which means that Kublai Khan is gradually sinicizing.
The founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty shows that Kublai Khan has abandoned the idea of a Mongol dynasty in his mind.
The festival makes the yamen, the wing.
On the table are the edicts of Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Everyone's expressions were relaxed, and they didn't feel anything abnormal because Kublai Khan established the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Wu Shaogang looked at Liu Bingzhong, quite emotional, in history, Kublai Khan created the Great Yuan Dynasty, it was this suggestion put forward by Liu Bingzhong, and now Liu Bingzhong has long been submitted, but Kublai Khan still created the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Coughed lightly, and when everyone was quiet, Wu Shaogang slowly spoke.
"You are not very concerned about Kublai Khan's creation of the Great Yuan Dynasty, when Kublai Khan was called emperor in Kaiping, and then moved to Dadu, now in the former Great Mongolia of Dadu, renamed the Great Yuan Dynasty, which is already side by side with my Great Song Dynasty, no, it should be said that the Great Yuan Dynasty has more great vitality."
After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Li Tingzhi spoke.
"Kublai Khan has been the emperor for a long time, and the Great Mongolian State was changed to the Great Yuan Dynasty, which is nothing more than thinking about dominating the world, thinking about being able to be the real emperor, I don't think it's a big deal, Kublai Khan announced to the world and created the Great Yuan Dynasty, then we will use a sharp attack to tell him that things are not as simple as imagined."
Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, but what came to mind was other aspects.
According to historical records, Kublai Khan founded the Great Yuan Dynasty for two reasons, one is that the Great Mongolia State has been extremely strong, has the strength to completely destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and the actual leadership and control of the Central Plains has been formed, and the other is that Kublai Khan followed the example of the Han Dynasty and believed that replacing the Great Mongolia with the Great Yuan Dynasty could jump out of the previous limitations and make it the emperor of the world, not the emperor of the Mongols.
The establishment of the Great Yuan Dynasty was advanced, and Kublai Khan no longer had many outstanding Han ministers around him, so Kublai Khan's strength was actually weakened, far less than the records in the history books.
Sichuan and Yunnan, Kublai Khan has been out of control, Jingzhaofu Road and other places have also been lost, don't underestimate the loss in this regard, indicating that the Great Yuan Dynasty has lost the complete encirclement of the south, indicating that the attack on the Great Song Dynasty can only break through from the front, but also indicates that the Great Song Dynasty can rely on the complex terrain of Sichuan to deal with the Great Yuan Dynasty.
According to Wu Shaogang's prediction, Kublai Khan changed the name of the country at this time and created the Great Yuan Dynasty, to a greater extent, thinking that it would be able to inspire people and finally achieve his strategic goals.
Seeing that everyone nodded and agreed with Li Tingzhi's analysis, Wu Shaogang spoke again.
"The establishment of the Great Yuan Dynasty has a huge harvest for Kublai Khan and the Mongol court, and many Confucian scholars and scholars in many places in the Central Plains, in order to display their own ambitions, will take the initiative to take refuge in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the people in the Central Plains will also recognize the existence of the Great Yuan Dynasty, which allows Kublai Khan to gather people's hearts and stabilize the place."
"It has been a hundred years since the Great Song Dynasty lost the Central Plains, to say that the people in these places are still looking forward to the Song Dynasty, it is nonsense, the old man who yearned for the Great Song Dynasty has long been gone, even if they have repeatedly told and entrusted their descendants, but how long can such an entrustment last."
"You have been doing things with me for so long, you should understand a truth, that is, the common people don't care who is the emperor, what they care about is whether they can live a worry-free life, otherwise no matter who is the emperor, the people will not fully support it."
"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, necessary for people's survival, these aspects are not satisfied, how can the emperor and the court get the real support of the people."
"Kublai Khan's creation of the Great Yuan Dynasty showed his determination, and it also brought us difficulties in the conquest, but this is nothing, as long as we implement the predetermined strategy and do our best to stabilize the people everywhere we go, we will be able to fight steadily, and we will be able to eliminate all the forces that hinder our progress."
"Someone told me yesterday that it was Kublai Khan who founded the Great Yuan Dynasty and fought against the Great Song Dynasty, so Sichuan side, did it also create a dynasty, don't say such words in the future."
"Wait until we take most of the Central Plains, and then come back and talk about these things."
"There are still four days to go, the army is about to start the expedition, spring operations, is a rare situation, all parts of the country are busy with spring ploughing, maybe the time is not the most suitable, but we can not continue to delay, the more we delay time, the next situation is more unfavorable for us, as long as we can seize the opportunity and occupy more places, we have greater confidence to completely exterminate the Great Yuan Dynasty."
。。。
After everyone dispersed, only Li Tingzhi stayed.
"Father-in-law, the affairs of the Yamen, the affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan and other places, please, about the matter of me being the king, don't mention it for the time being, the battle of Xiangyang is underway, the Mongolian army is eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, if I am the king at this time, not only will I not get support, but I will also become the scolding handle of everyone, even if the court wants to make me the king, I will not accept it, I thought of six words, slow to be the king, accumulate grain, this should be our most important strategy at present, until we really control the Central Plains, It is enough to compete with the Great Yuan Dynasty, and it is appropriate to consider the matter of being the king at that time.
