Chapter 354: It's about patience
Although Kublai Khan had made the final decision, he did not take action for a long time, that is to say, the Mongol princes already knew that the focus of the imperial court's attack was Xiangyang Fucheng, but Kublai Khan never announced the news to the outside world, nor did he immediately order the Mongol army stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng to withdraw part of it and return to Dadu.

No one knows why, let alone asks.
During this period, Kublai Khan had several secret conversations with Brother Mo, what exactly was discussed, outsiders could not know, from some of the performance of Brother Mo later, it seems to expose some clues of conversation, that is, the Han ministers in the court, almost all of them have been adjusted from important posts, and more Mongols and Semu people have entered important posts.
In the first month of the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in the first month of the fourth year of Xianchun, a greater change appeared in the Mongol court, and all the Jurchens, Khitans and Han people in many provinces and roads established by the Mongol court were removed from the position of the highest governor of the local administration.
The so-called Daru Huachi is a position unique to the Mongolian court, that is, the highest local official with real power, meaning the town guard, Kublai Khan also specially issued a holy decree, from now on, all Daru Huachi people, all by the Mongols and Semu people, the rest of the people are not allowed to hold this position.
This was an obvious rejection of the Han ministers, and many speculations appeared for a while.
Zhang Wenqian, Shi Tianze, Yao Shu and others are the worst, after all, they are the best Han ministers in the Mongolian court, but after a long time in the Mongolian court, their status is not as good as a year.
Kublai Khan didn't seem to care about all this, and didn't care about the feelings of the Han Chinese, Jurchens and Khitans in the court.
After this holy decree was issued, Kublai Khan suddenly sent part of the army to Mobei, and there was some news in the court, saying that the sea capital of Mobei had begun to rebel, thinking of following the example of Abuligo back then, Kublai Khan sent the Mongolian prince Tachar to lead the army to quell the rebellion.
After Tong Weihua got this news from Zhang Wenqian, he was overjoyed and immediately sent information to the Sichuan side, and suggested in the information that he could start recruiting Han ministers in the Mongolian court on a large scale.
Wu Shao had just received information from Tong Weihua, and it was already the beginning of February of the fourth year of Xianchun.
The two pieces of news are very critical, one is that the Han ministers in the Mongolian court have once again been excluded, and the second is that the Haidu rebellion in Mobei has disrupted the layout of the Mongolian court.
Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others all believed that the time was ripe to dismantle the Han ministers in the Mongol court, and they could ask Tong Weihua to take action, and at the same time recruit Zhang Wenqian, Shi Tianze, Yao Shu and others as soon as possible, and let them all come to Sichuan.
At this time, Wu Shaogang was unusually calm and did not express his position for the time being.
Whenever Wu Shaogang is particularly calm, he is thinking about important matters, Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others will not disturb Wu Shaogang, nor will they put forward more suggestions at this time.
Wu Shaogang was waiting, waiting for Tong Weihua's next information.
In his opinion, the rebellion of Mobei Haidu is not to be feared, I am afraid that Kublai Khan has complete confidence to extinguish, Kublai Khan is afraid of Haidu and many forces in Mobei, such as the union of Bara and others, if that happens, it will pose a real threat to the Mongolian court, and the same is true in history, after Haidu and Bala and other forces were united, Kublai Khan was forced to draw an army to attack Lin'an, and went to Mobei to quell the rebellion.
The power of Haidu is not very strong, it is not enough to pose any threat to the Mongol court, Kublai Khan will definitely adopt corresponding strategies for the situation in Mobei, such as giving Bala certain benefits, letting Bala and Haidu do it, at least let Bala not unite with Haidu, you must know that Kublai Khan sent Bala to seize the khanate of Chagatai State, the purpose is to deal with Haidu, which is gradually becoming stronger.
The situation in the Mongol court is still changing, so don't make any other moves at this moment, just wait and see what happens.
Wu Shaogang's judgment is not made casually, at least the Mongolian Tartars in Xiangyang have not yet evacuated, and they are still tightly surrounding Xiangyang Fucheng, which shows that the Mongolian court has not encountered much of a problem at all, as for the exclusion of Han ministers, this is not the first time, many Han ministers have been able to endure it so many times before, and this time it is also bearable.
Wu Shaogang is very sober, Sichuan is not attractive enough to the Han ministers of the Mongolian court, Kublai Khan is the emperor of the Mongolian court, he Wu Shaogang is just the Yunchuan Festival envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the power is quite strong, it will not make people die.
So there can't be any movement right now.
In mid-February, Wu Shaogang talked with Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others respectively, and expressed the many concerns he had thought about and the difficulty of his current actions to achieve his goals, which was recognized by Li Tingzhi and Hao Jing.
In March, Tong Weihua's intelligence arrived in Sichuan again.
The news this time is one, the army led by Tachar was indeed to Mobei to conquer the rebellious Haidu, and the army under his command defeated Haidu in Beshibali and chased to Alimari, and after Haidu suffered a heavy defeat, he was forced to flee westward to the river.
Haidu was not Kublai Khan's opponent, and the fiasco of this conversation greatly reduced Haidu's strength, which meant that in a short period of time, Haidu no longer had the strength to rebel alone, unless it was to unite the forces of Ba Ra and other forces in Mobei.
Tong Weihua's information came, and Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others sincerely admired Wu Shaogang's judgment.
Since then, Wu Shaogang has added another layer of mystery in the eyes of everyone.
After so many years, at every critical moment, Wu Shaogang's judgment was accurate, not to mention that the Mongol Tatars attacked Xiangyang Fucheng and changed the strategic deployment of the previous attack on Sichuan, Wu Shaogang made an accurate judgment, and he insisted on his own opinions.
No one knows that Wu Shaogang is a person who travels through time, is familiar with history, and when history has not yet undergone major and fundamental changes, Wu Shaogang is almost always able to make correct judgments based on his accurate grasp of history.
Such an accurate judgment would seem incredible to others.
At the end of March, the spring ploughing has ended, Sichuan and Yunnan have stabilized, the people who fled from the Jingnan Road have entered Sichuan one after another, but there are not many, the government at all levels has been enough to deal with it, Sichuan and Yunnan, which have not had a lot of population, have increased their population suddenly, and there have been rare prosperous and prosperous scenes in many places.
The topic of when to attack Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road was brought up again.
At the beginning, Wu Shaogang's decision was to start attacking and occupying Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road after the Mongol Tatars completely surrounded Xiangyang Fucheng.
The festival makes the yamen, the wing.
This was originally a place for Wu Shaogang to rest, but now it has become a place for discussing important matters, and the lobby seems deserted.
Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and pointed to Kaifeng and Xiangyang on the map.
"You all think that the time is ripe for an attack, I also thought so at the beginning, once the Mongol Tatars completely surrounded Xiangyang, it proves that the focus of their attack has been completely determined, that is, Xiangyang Fucheng, now it seems that this can be completely confirmed, even if the Haidu rebellion in Mobei, Kublai Khan did not send a large army to besiege Xiangyang Fucheng, which shows that he made up his mind."
"But there is still a big army, don't forget, that is, Habichi stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Mongolian Tatars under his command still don't make any moves."
"Maybe you think that this army is nothing, even if you want to fight a decisive battle with my army, it is not an opponent."
"I agree with this, defeating the 20,000 Mongol Tatars led by Habichi, as well as the new annex army stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, the various armies of Sichuan can indeed do it, but I still think that the time is not yet fully ripe for attack."
"Since we have decided to take Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road in one fell swoop, it is to completely occupy these places and not give the Mongolian court and the Mongolian Tartars any chance to counterattack, so we must be steady and ruthless, and we must also make the Mongolian Tartars die and let them think of attacking Xiangyang Fucheng."
"Now Kublai Khan doesn't necessarily think like this, I often stand in Kublai Khan's position to think about the problem, Sichuan has become Kublai Khan's henchman, I'm afraid it is difficult to make it peaceful, so as long as there is an opportunity, Kublai Khan will not give up the plan to attack Sichuan, so far it is still like this, when the Mongolian Tatars stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture are withdrawn, it shows that Kublai Khan is completely determined, not ready to change again."
"Kublai Khan is patient, we are even more patient, you must know that hundreds of thousands of Mongol Tatars are besieging Xiangyang Fucheng, Kublai Khan does not have so much time to hesitate, he must make a final decision in a short time."
"Don't worry, I see it soon, no more than June, Kublai Khan must make up his mind."
"The city of Xiangyang Mansion is strong, and the grain stored in the city is enough to support several years, if Kublai Khan always hesitates like this, it is the Mongol court itself that suffers, according to Kublai Khan's judgment and wisdom, he will soon be sober."
"Don't hit the south wall and don't look back, wait until Hedan and Ashu launch an attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, and after encountering defeats, Kublai Khan will be completely determined, and at that time, even if we occupy Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, Kublai Khan will not send a large army to Sichuan to conquer."
"Hehe, it's about patience, it depends on how long Kublai Khan's patience lasts."
"Kublai Khan can't consume us, so you just wait to see the information in the direction of Kaifeng." (To be continued.) )
