Kaiping, the capital of the Mongol Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the rise of the Mongolian tribes, it has become the most prosperous place in the Mongolian steppe, and it is not only many Han Confucian scholars from the northern Central Plains who come here to pay homage, but also envoys from Arabia and Europe.
However, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan always had some regrets in his heart, that is, the city of Helin in Mobei was still his heart disease.
Genghis Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, established the capital of the Mongol Dynasty in Holin, that is, at that time, the Mongol tribes rose rocket-likely, conquered the entire steppe, and then defeated and destroyed the Great Liao one after another, and then the successor defeated and destroyed the Jin State, occupied the northern Central Plains, and forced the Great Song Dynasty to move to the south of the Huai River.
Today's Helin is still occupied by Abuligo.
The Mongolian iron cavalry led by Hedan and Tachar has fled in all directions, abandoned the city of Helin, and wandered around Mobei, but after years of conquest and fighting, Mobei has also become a desolate place, and most of the people have chosen to flee.
Kublai Khan knew that Abuligo's complete defeat was just around the corner.
According to the suggestions of Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong and others, Kublai Khan finally decided to make Dadu the capital of the Mongol Dynasty, after all, the capital built in the vast steppe has too many limitations.
Kublai Khan's ultimate goal was to dominate the world, and the weak Great Song Dynasty was no longer an obstacle to him.
Kublai Khan's most hated is Abuligo, although they are brothers, but because of Abuligo's rebellion, the Mongolian court can not attack the Great Song Dynasty wholeheartedly, it has been six years, Abuligo's rebellion, the Mongolian court has caused a heavy blow, the grassland desert north is desolate, there are too many dead and wounded.
You must know that in Kublai Khan's view, the Mongolian iron cavalry is the most powerful army in the world, and the fierce battle between the Mongolian iron cavalry under Kublai Khan and the Mongolian iron cavalry under the command of Abuligo is actually internal friction.
Because of Abuligo's rebellion, which led to the rebellion of Li Pu in Shandong, and the Battle of Huaibei, because of Abuligo's rebellion, which led to the emergence of changes in Sichuan, because of Abuligo's rebellion, Kublai Khan had to consider the possibility of fighting on multiple fronts.
Li Pu's rebellion had been completely suppressed, and Huaibei was basically stabilized.
It was Sichuan that worried Kublai Khan.
The Mongolian court took a lot of hard work to occupy Chengdu Fulu, destroyed the Dali Kingdom, and conquered Tubo, but now, Yunnan is occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, and Chengdu Fulu is controlled by the Great Song Dynasty.
This was a deep pain in Kublai Khan's heart, and it was something he could not bear.
But Kublai Khan will not act immediately, after all, Abuligo's rebellion is nearing the end, and the most critical matter now is to completely suppress Abuligo's rebellion and stabilize the Mongol court.
Nothing is done to mean nothing.
Kublai Khan handed over this task to Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong and others, and he knew that these Han ministers could think of a way, at least to make the Great Song court uneasy.
In private, Kublai Khan discussed with Brother Mo several times, and Brother Mo also sent someone to write a letter to his niece Akecha, full of the intention of persuading Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to settle in Sichuan, but unfortunately Akecha's reply did not mention this matter at all.
When Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze and others entered the main hall, Kublai Khan and Brother Mo were already seated.
"Meet the Great Khan."
Zhang Wenqian led Liu Bingzhong and others to salute, and Kublai Khan waved his hand.
"Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze, how is the matter that Ben Khan asked you to receive."
Zhang Wenqian, the head of Hanchen, looked at Liu Bingzhong and Shi Tianze, and after saluting, he spoke again.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, the ministers and others thought of a way, my Mongolian court and the Great Song court negotiated peace, and in the process of negotiating peace, the only condition was put forward, which was to punish Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Sichuan.
Before Zhang Wenqian's words were finished, the last brother on the side spoke.
"Is it so simple, Wu Shaogang fought bravely, how could the Great Song Dynasty court agree."
"Report to the prince, my Mongolian court can offer favorable conditions, such as saying that the Mongolian court and the Great Song court have been friendly for generations, jointly govern the world, and never attack each other, etc., presumably the Great Song court will be tempted."
After Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Liu Bingzhong added.
"Great Khan, prince, the Great Song Dynasty court is already in a corner, the reason why Yue Fei was killed is because the Jin State was willing to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty, and the condition he put forward was to punish Yue Fei, and the Yue family army led by his father-in-law gave the Jin army a headache, so the Jin State put forward this condition, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty also did it."
Brother Mo frowned slightly, but a smile appeared on Kublai Khan's face.
"Well, this method can be considered, but I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to succeed."
After Kublai Khan finished speaking, Zhang Wenqian spoke again.
"Great Khan, the minister is sure, the minister thinks that what the Great Song Dynasty is thinking about is to be able to maintain its rule, and the most feared thing by the Great Song Dynasty is also my Mongolian court, as long as my Mongolian court promises to be friendly with the Great Song court, no matter what kind of conditions, they will agree...
didn't wait for Zhang Wenqian to finish speaking, Brother Mo also spoke again.
"What if the Great Song Dynasty doesn't agree."
"The minister thinks that even if the Great Song Dynasty court cannot form a unanimous opinion, it will cause internal disputes among them, and those civil and military officials who want to live a stable life will definitely try their best to calculate Wu Shaogang, so that Wu Shaogang can not secretly do things in Sichuan, and the minister can expect that if Wu Shaogang knows about these matters, he will definitely be angry, and may even be completely opposed to the Great Song Dynasty.
A smile appeared on Kublai Khan's face again, and he turned to Moge and spoke.
"Brother Mo, I think this method is feasible, so let them try it."
Kublai Khan spoke, and Brother Mo could only nod.
After Zhang Wenqian and his entourage left, Brother Mo couldn't help but speak.
"Great Khan, the minister thinks that these Han ministers are unreliable, they can think of such a despicable way to deal with Wu Shaogang of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is possible to think of the same way to deal with my Mongolian court in the future, what the Han people see in their eyes is power and money, and the minister does not believe that they have any loyalty."
Seeing the look of hatred on Brother Mo's face, Kublai Khan nodded slightly.
"Brother Mogo, even if you don't remind you, I will pay attention, the Han people are indeed cunning, but how to make the cunning Han people use for us, this is the most important, think about the rich Song Dynasty, why it fell to the current situation, the lessons in this, we need to learn and pay attention, the men of my Mongolian tribe are all brave, they are all standing up to the sky, even if it is the rebellious Abuligo, who has been fighting with me for nearly six years, he has never thought of contacting the Great Song Dynasty, and then look at the Great Song Dynasty, One will unite with the Jin State to attack our Mongolian court, and the other will unite with our Mongolian court to attack the Jin country, there is no principle, such a dynasty should have been completely overthrown a long time ago. ”
"What the Great Khan said is that the minister wants to be crooked, but the minister has some doubts about whether this method is feasible, if there are capable people in the Great Song Dynasty, they will suspect that there is a fear of our Mongol Dynasty."
"What I said is, I have also thought about this aspect, there is no big deal, we don't expect to defeat Wu Shaogang in this way, in fact, I still want to be able to have a real duel with Wu Shaogang, in this world, there is no one who is the opponent of my Mongolian iron cavalry, Wu Shaogang can attract my attention, that is his pride."
The self-confident Kublai Khan looks unusually majestic at the moment.
Brother Mo was finally convinced.
"What the Great Khan said is that the minister also has a suggestion, don't spread this matter in the court, just let Zhang Wenqian and others do it, if this kind of thing spreads, I'm afraid the other brothers will be uncomfortable."
"Of course, such a thing must not be made public, the peace with the Great Song Dynasty is just an expedient measure, Brother Mogo, Abuligo is about to be unable to hold on, during this time, I must think about the matter of completely defeating Abuligo, this matter of peace with the Great Song Dynasty will make you worry a lot."
"The minister must do a good job."
After seeing Moge leave, Kublai Khan had a strange look on his face.
In fact, Kublai Khan has long been alienated from the Hanchen in the court, and now the military and political affairs in the court are all under the command of Kublai Khan and the Mongolian princes.
Kublai Khan also did not completely believe in the Semu people, and letting Ahmad be the prime minister of Zuo and Shi Tianze as the privy deputy of the Privy Council is the best proof of this.
Kublai Khan's purpose was to set the Semu people against the Han people, especially the Semu people and the Han people in the court, so that he could coordinate in the middle and control the two sides.
The Mongols are high, commanding and controlling everything, and the rest, whether they are Semu or Han, are all in the service of the Mongols and are all slaves of the Mongols.
This is what Kublai Khan really thought.
As the Great Khan, Kublai Khan did not fully trust anyone in his heart, not even to Moge.
After Brother Mo's niece Akecha was captured by Wu Shaogang, Brother Mo's attitude changed, and he was particularly concerned about any action against Wu Shaogang, of course, Kublai Khan believed that Brother Mo should care about his niece Akecha.
However, from this matter, Kublai Khan believes that Brother Mo is still a little selfish, not dedicated to the Mongolian court.
Brother Mo was Kublai Khan's most trusted Mongol prince, and he had such a performance, not to mention others.
Kublai Khan, who has experienced too many hardships, has long seen through a lot of things, and his feelings have become indifferent.
Conquering and exterminating the Great Song Dynasty and dominating the world was Kublai Khan's ultimate goal, and for this goal, everything was worth paying. (To be continued.) )
