246th New Great Khan (4)
The sharp silver knife cuts through the tender handlebar lamb, revealing the pink flesh color. The cooks carried knives like the wind, and the boneless mutton was delivered to the prince who attended the Great Khan's enthronement reception. Hao Ren was already hungry, and he was satisfied to observe that the servants who served the food were clean and clean, and there was no dirt in their nails. Although I can't see how the chef who cuts the mutton is, I think it should be no worse than the servant.
Hao Ren sat in his seat, picked up a hot hand, dipped the mutton in leek sauce and put it in his mouth. The mouth was full of aroma, and I immediately felt very happy. At least half of the princes next to him were enjoying themselves, and the rest were at least smiling. The men who couldn't stand Timur's succession to the throne of the Great Khan did not come to the banquet for various reasons.
I enjoyed the mutton by hand, and the next fried beef was served. A large piece of beef was placed on the iron plate, and there was a small foam of oil. It is topped with a dark brown sauce and has a fragrant aroma. After that, there were two meat dishes, and even the princes couldn't eat them. If you eat meat, you have to drink some wine, and Hao Ren himself has already eaten two large glasses of wine. Then he saw the prince of the Kipchak Khanate coming with a wine glass.
His gaze fell on the prince's fingers. I saw that his nails were quite long, and there were a lot of black things in them. Hao Ren forced himself to look away, but he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. He didn't care about it at first, except that before the meal, he went to the sink to wash his hands. Seeing that the Baghdad Palace had already used the latest Da Song castile soap, Hao Ren also felt that the palace was quite fashionable, and the aroma and moisturizing feeling of this kind of castile soap were much better than the old ones.
While thinking about this, I washed my hands. Under the faucet next to him, a pair of black hands with nails stretched out. When I turned my head, I saw that the Khan King of the Chagatai Khanate casually rubbed his hands under the faucet, took the towel sent by the servant next to him and wiped it, his fingernails were still black, and his palms were not much clean. King Chagatai Khan turned around and went to the meeting place.
As the head of the country to promote Patriotic Health Month, Hao Ren felt that he might have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The Yuan Kingdom had a patriotic health month every year, and like the patriotic health month of the Great Song Dynasty, the propaganda of the health month included both public health and personal hygiene. For the Yuan Kingdom, which lacked labor, death from disease was a great loss.
Then Hao Ren watched for a while, like a voyeur. It was found that at least half of the prince's personal hygiene was very bad. Looking at the prince of the Kipchak Khanate now, Hao Ren felt that the meal system was really good. Such a dirty guy was at the same table as someone else, as if he had deliberately poisoned him.
"Lord Wang. I have something to ask you. The prince of the Kipchak Khanate said in a coarse voice with the strength of wine: "Some of our herdsmen here have fled, and I heard that they seem to have fled to Kievan Rus'. But I don't know if the prince knows. ”
"How could I possibly know that kind of thing." Hao Ren replied decisively. Some herds or herdsmen came to the original road on the grassland, and they would immediately find that as a country with a high degree of management like the Yuan Kingdom, it was impossible not to know. Therefore, Hao Ren must decisively say that he doesn't know, because the guys in the gang of herdsmen who went to the border of the Yuan Kingdom to commit crimes were all cut off their heads, but those who came to make a living were absorbed into the production system by the Yuan Kingdom.
The prince of the Kipchak Khanate looked at Hao Ren for a while, and then continued to say drunkly: "Lord, I know that you have sent some brains. Do we think you're killing people like that, are you going too far? ”
"What's the wrong thing to kill these people, they're looting on our ranches, they're killing our people. Let them go, how can I explain to the people on our side. Hao Ren replied lukewarmly.
"But. Recently two great tribes have passed through our borders, and they don't even want cattle, just to go to you. Ask them why, and they say that you Kievan Rus' are having a good time. Your life is good, but our life is very bitter. ”
Listening to such ill-intentioned words, Hao Ren scolded in his heart, your father's eggs. Although I don't know what the reputation of the Yuan Kingdom for a good life spreads, it is true that some tribes went to Hao Ren to beg for a living. Originally, Hao Ren didn't care about this at all, but after coming to Baghdad this time and coming into contact with Aruhun, the khanate king of the Ilkhanate, Hao Ren found that the countries of Great Mongolia were generally poor. The Great Khan's territory in the valley of the two rivers was okay, but it was also bad because of the huge expenses and unrest. At this time, Yuan Guo was loudly accused of being rich, which was really disadvantageous.
Hao Ren really didn't bother to talk nonsense with the prince of the Kipchak Khanate, who had a lot of and broken habits, and because of the sanitary situation, Hao Ren didn't even want to talk to this guy with a good breath at all. So Hao Ren stood up and said, "It's my turn to toast the Great Khan, do you want to go along?" ”
"Uh...... Just go. The Khan of the Kipchak Khanate stood up drunkenly and replied with some unhesitant momentum.
The two men brought their glasses to Timur Khan, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and raised their glasses at the same time. Timur also raised his glass, and the two men below gave congratulatory speeches, and then drank the wine in one gulp. Next, Timur, who was beside Timur, said, "Lord Haoren, please come over, the Great Khan has something to say to you." Hao Ren stepped forward and followed Yuxi Timur to the back room, leaving the prince of the Kipchak Khanate in the main hall where the banquet was held.
There was no one behind, and Hao Ren felt much quieter in his heart. The two sat down in the apse, and Hao Ren asked, "I don't know if the Great Khan came to inquire about the matter, or if the Yuxi Timur envoy asked you to ask the matter on behalf of the Great Khan." ”
Yuxi Timur moved his body to make himself sit more comfortably, and he sighed: "Neither. The Great Khan had something to say to those princes this time. They were poor, and many of them simply went to the north of the Great Khan's territory and the Ilkhanate to plunder. This was the case during the lifetime of Kublai Khan, and now it is even more important to explain it to them. Save them and talk nonsense after they're gone. ”
"I see." Hao Ren kind of understood. Under the system of the Yuan Kingdom, there was only a shortage of labor. The second-rate sons who hated labor and hated work did equally badly in the army, and were finally sent to hard labor. Therefore, Yuan Guo has no interest in running to other places to loot. Then Hao Ren asked tentatively, "The imperial envoy won't just come to invite me to tea here, right?" ”
"Huh." Yuxi Timur laughed dryly twice, "The prince is wise." Of course I don't dare to underestimate the prince so much. Now the situation is like this, the Song State stormed Helin, and the population on the other side of the desert could not stay, and fled to the Baghdad side one after another. Of course, the Great Khan wanted to accept these people, but where was there so much land and food for these people. Kublai Khan had also previously moved some tribes to the Kipchak Khanate, the Ögedai Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate. The Ilkhanate was slightly better, and the people of the other three khanates drove these tribes to plunder. So we thought about it again and again, and felt that we could only let them go to Kievan Rus' and be under the care of Prince Haoren. ”
After hearing this, Hao Ren felt that it was like pie in the sky. What the Yuan State lacked the most was labor, and the Mongols had experience in grazing and breeding, and they could almost use it directly. So Hao Ren opened his mouth and said, "This is not good. The population of our Yuan country is already small, and so many people have arrived in Kievan Rus', we are only afraid that it will be difficult to restrain it. ”
"Please also rest assured that we will only let the small tribes go to Kievan Rus, and the big tribes will stay in the territory of the Great Khan."
"How small?"
"It's a tribe of forty or fifty people."
"How to get to Kievan Rus?"
"We heard that Prince Hao Ren is very familiar with the fleet of the Song Kingdom, so let them go by boat."
"By boat? How do you transport their livestock......" Hao Ren paused at this point, he thought for a moment, and said unhappily: "They probably only have clothes left, right?" ”
"When a small tribe comes all the way to Baghdad, it must be attached to a large tribe. What more cattle can they have? Yuxi Timur sighed. After sighing, Yuxi Timur said sincerely: "When I was in Dadu, I knew the prince. Mr. Hao Jing praised the prince as a true Confucian student. Marshal Boyan has always praised Wang Ye as a first-class talent in my Great Mongolia......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Hao Ren interrupted the sycophant, and he asked, "I wonder how many people the Great Khan wants to stuff me?" ”
Yuxi Timur opened his palm to Hao Ren to see.
"Fifty thousand?" Hao Ren asked.
Yuxi Timur shook his head.
"Five thousand?"
Yuxi Timur shook his head again.
"No, it won't!" Hao Ren's face was shocked, but he was actually very happy in his heart. 500,000 people is nothing to the Yuan Kingdom, as long as you are willing to work, one million is not a problem.
"Give 500,000 first." Yuxi Timur said.
"Hey, hey!" Hao Ren was really shocked, he didn't expect the Great Khan's territory to be so troublesome.
Yuxi Timur Zhengse said: "I don't hide it from the prince, now there are more than two million poor Mongols in the territory of the Great Khan. If they can't find a living, these people will definitely make trouble in the future. can only let the prince take away 500,000 first. ”
"500,000 is not good." Hao Ren immediately refused. He didn't want others to know that his life was so good, and if he did, something big would happen. Now it is the poor khanates who are robbing the territories directly under the Great Khan, and if it is known that the Yuan State is having a good time, it is the Great Khan who leads all the khanates to rob the Yuan State. As in the case of the so-called Crusades, it was not the True Gods on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean who suffered the greatest losses.
"Up to five thousand a month. No, three thousand at most. If 3,000 people are villains, I don't dare to ask for the next wave of people. Hao Ren lowered the rules to a normal level. He wanted to pretend to be a 'normal Mongol state' that was not much like the other khanates.
The lessons of the Crusades are not far away. Before the arrival of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongols, the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, which had been taken from the Cult of God, was again taken by the Cult. It was the Eastern Roman Empire that really suffered terrible losses during the Crusades. The country once perished. In comparison, the Eastern Roman Empire and the countries of Europa are considered the entire Europa world, and Hao Ren's Yuan Kingdom is also one of the members of the Mongolian world.
"Five thousand. Five thousand a month. "Yuxi Timur began with Hao Ren bargaining.
On September 5, 332 in the Great Song Dynasty, the lord of the Yuan State, Hao Ren, led 3,000 troops called Huazi to Damascus. They are really poor, poor and poor. It's only when it's time to eat that I look at the meaning of some scramble. Other times, it's almost numb to watch.
When they arrived in Damascus, the Great Song fleet looked at these people and said, 'We don't dare to send such a group of people, you can clean up these people first.' Hao Ren knew what the Great Song Dynasty meant, so many people were transported to the Yuan Kingdom, God knows if there would be a plague.
There was no way, Hao Ren could only discuss with Song Guo and set up an epidemic prevention camp first. Quarantine for these people, blood tests, worming, haircuts and other preliminary work. After processing, it will be sent to Yuan in batches.
Through the intelligence and communication station established by the Yuan State, the news was first sent from the Mediterranean Sea to the liaison station in the northeastern corner of the Black Sea, and from there it was sent to the Western Regions of the Great Song Dynasty by fast horses. It was sent to Hangzhou from the Western Regions telegraph station. By October 15, 332 of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song had received a detailed report.
The news of Kublai Khan's death had already been published in the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty, which made the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty very happy. Although he failed to slash this enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, at least the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty died. As for the newly appointed Mongolian Khan Timur, a baby in his twenties, he has no grudges with the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Jiaren didn't say anything after reading it. He only knew that the new Mongol Great Khan Timur was the third son of Zhenjin, and he knew nothing about Timur beyond that. At the moment, there is something more important, the Yinshan Military Region has started the cat winter again, and all the troops have contracted the strongholds near the Yin Mountain.
In the entire 332 years, the Yinshan army set a new peak, beheading 630,000. And the last unit of the Yinshan Military Region to return was withdrawn to its stronghold only in early October 3. The troops braved the heavy snow and marched back to their stronghold. In the report of the military region, it was pointed out that not many tribes had gone to graze the more than a dozen rivers that had been swept before. The vanguard of the army has already reached the Songhua River, and at least half of the 630,000 brains killed this time have been captured north of Helin City.
In addition, there are new developments. After the Yinshan Military Region went north, a Mongolian cavalry of more than 30,000 people of all ages was killed at the garrison of the Yinshan Military Region, wanting to take advantage of the emptiness of the Song army's base camp to loot. These scum who only had bows and arrows were unable to capture the camp of the Song army, but they did not want to leave empty-handed, and were completely defeated by the Song army that rushed quickly. From the mouth of the captive, this was the last thing they could convince the Mongol tribal alliance to come. Other tribes said they would rather starve to death than send them to death.
The Yinshan Military Region did not execute these guys, but sent them to hard labor. Because the area from Youzhou to Zhangjiakou was so important, Zhao Jiaren ordered the construction of a railway road between the two places, which was transported by oxen and carts. The captives were sent here to build a railroad. According to tests, the transport capacity of the railway rail road is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary livestock transport. There was no train, so Zhao Jiaren also decided to get on it first.
After reading the report, Zhao Jiaren asked his secretary Zhao Qian, "How is the southern part of Tianzhu?" ”
