Chapter 13 Thousand Autumn Hegemony

The Mongol Xue Army, similar to the Han Imperial Forest Army, was first formed by Genghis Khan himself.

The Cowardly Xue Army is mainly composed of meritorious children such as nobles and generals, and every ordinary Cowardly Xue Army soldier has the salary and rank of an ordinary general. The Cowardly Xue Army has a strict discipline and devilish training method that is different from the general army, and also enjoys extraordinary privileges, the status of an ordinary Cowardly Xue soldier is even higher than that of a thousand household officials, of course, every Cowardly Xue soldier is an extraordinary combat power, with one as ten, no less than the imperial guards of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Competence and loyalty coexisted, and in modern parlance, this force was the Zhongnanhai bodyguard of the Mongol Great Khan.

In addition to the founding of the establishment, this cowardly Xue army followed Genghis Khan to fight everywhere, made immortal feats, and also won the reputation of being invincible.

When Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the throne of Khan, the original cowardly Xue army stayed in Mobei and became the trump card in the hands of Ali Buge. At the same time, Kublai Khan reorganized a cowardly army on the basis of his original hidden guards, which was led by his close general Dong Wenbing.

That night, Boyan came to Kublai Khan's study in the Shangdu Imperial Palace. There was a big pot of coals in the house, which baked the study warmly.

"See the Great Khan, Boyan came to the Great Khan's tent to listen to the order on the orders of the teacher."

As soon as Boyan entered the house, he respectfully kowtowed to Kublai Khan three times.

"Boyan is here, stand up, let me take a good look at you, grow up Chengren, well, yes, a talent, I remember the last time I visited your teacher before sending troops to quell the rebellion against Ali Buge, you were still shouting that you wanted to go to war with me, and it has been four years in a flash. Come, I will first introduce you to my two favorite generals, this is Dong Wenbing, the commander of the cowardly Xue Army and the economic strategy of Shandong. Kublai Khan smiled as he pointed to a middle-aged Han man in a white scribe's robe on his left.

Boyan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen General Dong, Boyan has admired General Dami's name for a long time, and I will ask for more guidance in the future." ”

"Boyan is polite." Dong Wenbing replied.

"This one is General Ashu, the marshal of my Mongolian expedition to the south." Kublai Khan pointed to a person on his right hand and said.

Boyan clasped his fists again and saluted: "I have long admired the name of General Ashu, and I also ask the general for more guidance." ”

"Boyan doesn't have to be polite, he is really a hero out of a young man." Ah Shu, who was dressed in a black battle robe, laughed.

Kublai Khan looked at the three of them, and said with a smile on his face: "The three of them are the eagles of my Mongol Empire, come, sit down and say." ”

Dong Wenbing is about forty years old, with a calm complexion, and he looks polite, he doesn't seem to be a military general on the killing battlefield, but completely an elegant scribe. Ah Shu is in his thirties, his face is full of cheeks, and his whole body exudes a ferocious aura unique to soldiers, and at a glance, he knows that he is a fierce general in the army who kills decisively.

Both were once generals in the Su Guard, loyal to Kublai Khan, and trusted by the Great Khan.

Dong Wenbing and Ah Shu have followed Kublai Khan's expedition to the east and west since they joined the army, and they have been fighting for a long time, and they all know that Boyan is a disciple of the great god Yin Tianya, and they dare not wait to ignore it.

After watching the three of them sit down, Kublai Khan said: "Boyan, I plan to let you serve as the deputy commander of the Cowardly Xue Army to assist General Dong, and I will move the capital to Zhongdu (Yanjing) later, I want to follow the example of the ancestor Genghis Khan and expand the Cowardly Xue Army to 10,000 horses, and this matter of recruiting and training troops will be handed over to you first." ”

"Xie Da Khan, Chen Boyan will definitely live up to his love." Boyan was slightly startled, then overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

It is the dream of every Mongolian boy to be able to join the Cowardly Xue Army, let alone serve as a senior general of the Cowardly Xue Army.

"Get up, Boyan, the source of the soldiers of this cowardly Xue army can only be selected from the nobles and the descendants of the generals according to the ancestral system, which actually has advantages and disadvantages, and after the rebellion of Ali Buge, many noble generals also participated in the rebellion with him and were destroyed by me, so the source of soldiers will be dwarfed, so I want to expand the scope of the source of soldiers, all my good Mongolian men are eligible to participate in the examination, and those who can pass the test can be selected according to their ranking, and, General Dong."

"The minister is here."

"Those who pass the test must personally work with the Zhongshu Province to find out the details of the selected personnel, so as not to get mixed with the details of the Western Khanate."

"Obey."

"Yes." Kublai Khan said to Boyan again, "Boyan, I know that you have learned a lot from adults, but you must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, time, place, opponent, and even weather and any other factor will lead to different strategies of our side, resulting in poor results, this is a kind of experience facing the enemy, you can't learn from books, you must explore and summarize in actual combat, don't learn from the ancient Zhao Kuo who can only talk on paper." Later, I learned this actual combat skill from General Dong and General Ashu, they are all great experts on the battlefield, a few in and out of the pile of dead people, and they have rich experience, I have high hopes for you. ”

"Great Khan, the minister understands." Boyan knew that Kublai Khan's words could be described as golden and jade good words, just as the teacher Yin Tianya often said when teaching himself to learn martial arts and the art of war, "The shape of the sky is ever-changing, and only when it changes can it be passed, and only with the times can the gods be formed." ”

Kublai Khan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "General Dong, General Ashu, you two don't hide your secrets. ”

"The ministers will definitely not, the Great Khan can rest assured."

"Well, the time left for you will not be too long, at most three or four years, in the past few years, you have trained my Mongolian iron cavalry into an invincible elite army, and then, we will step on the Southern Dynasty in one go, and then advance to the west, and destroy the rebellious khanate in one fell swoop."

Ah Shu heard Kublai Khan say that he would have to prepare for three or four years, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Great Khan, the minister thinks that it will not take so long at all, since the death of Meng Hui, there are only a handful of people in the south who can fight habitually, and the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty has just ascended the throne, Jia Rudao controls the government, the dynasty is not in order, the Great Khan gave the minister 100,000 troops, and the minister said that he led the army to the south, and he will bring back Zhao Yu'er's head within three years." ”

Kublai Khan smiled and said: "General Ashu should be impatient, you are only half right, although the Southern Dynasty is chaotic, but there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River and Huai River to defend, and our dynasty has just quelled the rebellion of Ali Buge, the treasury is tight, no matter the grain and grass, the ordnance is not enough to support you for three years, is it possible to let the 100,000 army go hungry to attack the city and plunder the land?" And the four great khanates in the west are also waiting for me and the Southern Song Dynasty to fight and lose in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen. The reason why I said for three or four years was to wait for the national strength to recover, and at the same time, to wait for the completion of Liu Quan's naval army in Sichuan, so that I could level the Southern Dynasty in one fell swoop and dominate the world. ”

"The Great Khan is wise, and when the water is ready, he can attack the Song Dynasty, and now he is rashly sending troops, once a stalemate is formed, it will be unfavorable to our side." Dong Wenbing continued.

Kublai Khan nodded and said, "General Dong is right, when the time comes, I should let you lead my Mongolian iron cavalry and pacify the world for me." ”

"I am willing to rule the world with the Great Khan and achieve hegemony for thousands of years." The three of them were hot in their hearts, knelt down and said in unison.

"Okay, what a thousand years of hegemony, Zhao Yu'er, even if it is as the adults say, your life star shines, and my iron horse will make your Southern Dynasty fall into a catastrophe from which it will never recover." Kublai Khan suddenly stood up and laughed arrogantly.

Lin'an, thousands of miles away.

I was reading a book in the imperial study and suddenly sneezed several times in succession, and said to myself, "Hey, who is talking about me?" ”
