Chapter 85: The Distant Bowl (1)

"Publish a map of the whole territory of China in the Great Song Daily." Zhao Jiaren gave an order to the editor-in-chief of the Da Song Daily.

The editor-in-chief took a small notebook to record, and after listening to Zhao Guanjia's order, the editor-in-chief asked: "Guanjia, do you still want to continue to publicize the affairs of Song Lizong?" ”

Zhao Jiaren shook his head slightly, "Don't publicize it for the time being." When will there be mass propaganda, I will tell you. ”

"The main propaganda lately is the reconquest of the old land of China?" The editor-in-chief tried to make sure.

"That's right. That's where the main publicity lately comes. What is the homeland of China, not an inch of the homeland of China can be lost. Recently, I promoted this first. ”

After sending off the editor-in-chief, Zhao Jiaren called the chief of the general staff and asked about the latest situation in the north. The news obtained was quite positive, and the establishment of the stronghold north of Yinshan was quite smooth. The situation in Liaodong seems to be progressing slowly, and it is a big problem that no one is willing to immigrate there.

Listening to the real problems, Zhao Jiaren was also quite emotional in his heart. The current Great Song Dynasty did not have the ability to carry out large-scale population transfers in New China, let alone distant Liaodong, and even emigration to Henan and Hebei was a problem. If you can't immigrate, you risk recruiting locals. This kind of surrender is likely to allow the enemy to blend into the population of the Great Song Dynasty. Regarding this problem, Zhao Jiaren can only tell himself to hold on.

The colonel who came to report to the military department did not know the thoughts of the Zhao official family, and he talked excitedly about the issue of continuing to use troops in the south, "Guanjia, now that the Yungui area has been recovered, if we send troops from Yungui, we can naturally restore a lot of land." ”

"If you can fight it down, but you can't hold it, it's a waste of time." Zhao Jiaren replied.

was poured such cold water, and the colonel was not particularly convinced, "How can our Song army be those weak Mongolian troops." Even the Mongol army couldn't stop our Song army, but the Mongol army was doing well in the local area. ”

Such a comparison sounds very nonsense to Zhao Jiaren, the Great Song Dynasty did annihilate the Mongolian army stationed in Yungui in Yungui, but the use of a large number of troops in the local area is not right in itself, what does this have to do with whether the Mongols are stationed in the local area. Zhao Jiaren was too lazy to discuss this issue more, he said: "Now that Yungui has been recovered, the next step is to focus on Liaodong. ”

The colonel was stunned, this was a huge strategic adjustment, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

"After having steam cars and ships, I want more sea shipping."

"In the future, the Type 22 rifles will be supplied to Liaodong?" The colonel's concerns are not the same as those of Zhao Jiaren. In the past, for the sake of war, new rifles were supplied to the military districts of Liangguang. With such high-quality weapons, the war went very smoothly. If the Type 22 rifle is only supplied to the Liaodong Military Region in the future, it will really prove that the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty has changed.

"In the future, 8 percent of the Type 22 rifles will be supplied to the Liaodong Military Region, and 2 percent will be supplied to the Yanyun Military Region." Zhao Jiaren gave a clear answer. Every time Li Yun sent a message, he begged to increase the supply of new rifles. And on the steppe, the Type 22 rifle has a wider space for use.

After receiving the clear affirmation of Zhao Guan's family, the news was quickly sent to Liaodong and Yanyun. Li Yun and Zhu Hongwu were very happy, but the two of them were not simply immersed in joy, Song Lizong's news was very shocking, and neither of them dared to wait to ignore it.

Thinking of Song Lizong, Li Yun will think of Zhao Guan's family. If the Zhao Guanjia were to suffer such ......a fate one day, just thinking about such a possibility, Li Yun felt like he had fallen into a fire cave, and he was in pain. His father Li Hongjun followed the Zhao official family, and Li Yun's ideal since childhood was to follow the Zhao official family like his father and follow the banner of the Great Song Dynasty held high by the Zhao official family.

"All the temples in Hebei were closed, and all the monks were arrested and sent to the construction site." Li Yun gave the order.

Before sending the news to Zhao Guan's family, Theravada Buddhist monasteries in Hebei and Yanyun and other places had been completely swept away. Those Rinpoches have been set to a level of never release. It's just that they haven't been assigned to the construction site for the time being.

In the Liaodong Military Region, Zhu Hongwu was extremely angry when he told the troops about this incident. It was evident from the somewhat hoarse voice of his voice, and from the amplitude of his movements. But Zhu Hongwu knew that half of his own anger was true. Compared with Li Yun, Zhu Hongwu has no special relationship with Zhao Jiaren, and his hostility towards foreign races comes entirely from the books he has read. As a cultural person, Zhu Hongwu looked down on those Yidi, and even more down on the Han people who took refuge in Yidi.

In addition to this visceral half of the anger, the other half is some kind of euphoria. The destruction of Song Lizong's bones shows the lower limit of Yidi's faith, which seems to be an unforgivable sin according to the Great Song concept. Zhu Hongwu hopes to completely eliminate the female straight people in Liaodong, but the local female straight people have not shown the damn side of Yidi so far, which makes Zhu Hongwu feel very inconvenient. With the matter of Song Lizong, it should be able to promote the hostility of the Song army to Yidi to a considerable extent.

As for where the Gabala bowl made of Song Lizong's skull is, Zhao Jiaren, Li Yun, and Zhu Hongwu don't really care. They just need to take advantage of it.

At this time, in a tent on the eastern border of the distant Golden Horde, a Rinpoche was doing business. After some running, the Rinpoche had very few things at hand, and the yellow silk spread on the table looked okay, but only a few simple ritual utensils were placed on top of the silk. One of the most conspicuous among the many ritual vessels is a Gabala bowl.

For Tibetan Buddhism, which is keen to use human beings to make ritual utensils, the Gabala bowl itself is extremely sacred. It was a magic weapon made of the skulls of the monks, and it itself represented a powerful spiritual power. As for the Gabala bowl in front of him, it is even more precious, it is a Song Lizong Gabala bowl.

If such a ritual weapon can be taken out, the person who can participate in this ritual activity will naturally have a good status. For example, Hao Ren Wanhu, who didn't look very religious, is now the leader of hundreds of thousands of people. His subordinates were basically composed of traitors and Song traitors, and they arrived here after withdrawing from Hebei and Shanxi.

Hao Ren Wanhu didn't look like he had any spirit, and he had no choice but to come to participate in this ceremony. When some of the local nobles heard that Rinpoche, who was accompanying Rinpoche, had a Gabala bowl in his hand, they had to ask the Rinpoche to perform a puja for everyone.

At that time, Hao Ren knew very well how the demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia was exterminated, and he also knew that there were several so-called Song Lizong Gabala bowls. At that time, Yang Lian Zhenga promised to dedicate the Song Lizong Gabala bowl to the national teacher Basba, in exchange for the support of the national teacher. As a result, Yang Lian Zhenjia was unwilling to let go of this precious treasure, so he made several 'Shadow Song Lizong Gabala Bowls', and dedicated one of the shadow bowls to Basba. The real bowl was left with several other shadow bowls. After learning the news, the national teacher of Basba destroyed Yang Lian Zhenjia.

Although the Somrijong Gabala bowl in front of him is one of many shadow bowls, it is also very sacred in Rinpoche's eyes. But fakes are fakes after all, and Hao Ren Wanhu still can't have the slightest sense of sacredness about the real thing, let alone a fake. While the local Mongolian nobles were earnestly praying with Rinpoche, Hao Ren Wanhu even secretly covered his mouth with his hands and yawned.

Finally waiting for the end of the ceremony, Hao Ren Wanhu came out of the tent and stretched his waist greatly. At that moment, he saw a figure. Although the person was very careful to make himself look inconspicuous, Hao Ren Wanhu still noticed the person. It seems that he called his subordinates very casually and gave a few orders. Hao Ren Wanhu then naturally walked in the direction of his guard.

Not long after, there was a sudden chaos in the camp. Hao Renwanhu's guards began to chase and intercept several people in this temporary gathering place. Instead of holding their hands back, those men began to flee for their lives. After all, this is Hao Ren Wanhu's territory, and it is well prepared, and it didn't take long for the escapees to be caught and sent to Hao Ren Wanhu.

Hao Ren smiled at one of the guys: "I have been in Texas for many years. I didn't expect the master to be so healthy. ”

Seeing that Hao Ren actually recognized himself, the man simply straightened up and said with a cheerful smile: "May God bless you, Your Highness." But I don't know if Your Highness still needs to buy a cross. ”

When Hao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. The man on the other side is now dressed no different from an ordinary herdsman, but a few years ago when he was in Dadu, he wore a cross monk's robe, and his body was covered with various crosses, which were sold on the street.

…… Freshly baked cloisonné enamel crosses, hot, Rinpoche cut the light. Look at this cross, the eight hearts and eight arrows ruby is transparent, self-grinding and polishing, with three eagle dog whistles on the mouth, and you press the gem under the bullet knife to pop out the ......

In the depths of his memory, he could still vaguely remember the shouting of this priest on the streets of Dadu, and Hao Ren even felt nostalgic. It was an era from which there was no return, and the glory of Dayuan reached its peak at that time. As the Song army moved north, the Mongols had to withdraw from Dadu. The last time Hao Ren and the priest met was in Texas, and the Crucidian killed Hao Ren's guards with a switchblade hidden inside the cross.

"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, you probably want to kill me." The priest was very serious this time.

"Hmm." Hao Ren Wanhu nodded in agreement.

"What if I trade my intelligence for my life."

"It's a beautiful idea."

"Your Highness, we are destined. In Dadu, in Texas, here, we all meet when our fates change dramatically, in fact, when I learned that I was going to come here, I was also very emotional. So why don't Your Highness spare me, maybe we can meet next time. ”

Listening to the priest's calm words, Hao Ren pondered for a moment before replying, "How thick your skin is. ”

This is God's arrangement. So of course I don't have to be ashamed. But for Your Highness, don't you want to know what really happened at the Kuritai conference in Baghdad? ”

Hao Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, and this sentence hit Hao Ren's vital point. At this Kuritai Conference, a group of Mongolian nobles jointly elected Kublai Khan as the Great Khan of Mongolia. Other than that, Hao Ren didn't even know anything else. In Hao Ren's opinion, this is not normal. If this is normal, it only means that Hao Ren has been excluded from Kublai Khan's cronies.

"You've been to the Kulitai Conference?" Hao Ren asked.

"I was originally a subordinate of Ögedai Khan, and I was sent to Dadu to inquire about the news. Now, of course, he is still a courtier of Ögedai Khan. ”

"But why are you going to Texas?"

"At that time, the Great Khan of Ögedai was still competing with the Great Khan of Kublai Khan for the position of Great Khan, and it may be beneficial for the Great Khan of Ögedai to contact the Song people." The priest does not hide anything.

"That'...... Why are you here? ”

"Because if Ögedai Khan wants to restore the status of the Khan of the Ögedai Khanate, then he must find a way to let His Highness leave. That's why I was sent, but I didn't expect His Highness to remember me. ”

“…… What really happened at the Kuritai conference? ”

"Your Highness, let's find a quieter place to talk."

"No, it's here. It's all people I trust. Hao Ren didn't want the priest on the other side to dominate the situation.

"If Your Highness doesn't care, of course I don't. At this Kuritai Congress, Kublai Khan assured the Khans of the four khanates of the Golden Family that he would ensure that their children and grandchildren would become Great Khans for generations. Therefore, the Kuritai Conference has been held every two years instead of being held irregularly. Moreover, the four khanates also needed to leave representatives in Baghdad to discuss major matters when the Kuritai Congress was not convened. ”

Hao Ren was really shocked after hearing this, such a huge change is equivalent to changing the situation of the entire Mongolia, and a priest can't talk about such a system design at all. In other words, Hao Ren's worst fears have happened, and he has been excluded from Kublai Khan's inner circle.

The priest continued to tell the news. After Kublai Khan changed the structure of the Kuritai Assembly, the succession of the four khanates became the decision of the previous Great Khan on the next Great Khan. The Kuritai Assembly was the body that carried out the wishes and wishes of the Great Khan. In the same way, the Great Khan could not interfere in the succession of the khanates, and the Kuritai Assembly also carried out the wishes and wishes of the Khanates.

“…… Therefore, both the Chagatai Khanate and the Ögedai Khanate made a request for the Great Khan to settle His Highness. The priest concluded with the central point.

Hao Ren knew that he had dealt a heavy blow to the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate, and the leader of the golden family who ruled the two khanates was captured and sent to Dadu before being executed by Kublai Khan's order. Therefore, it is normal for Hao Ren to become a thorn in the side of the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate. What's more, Hao Ren is now stationed on the territory of these two khanates, if Hao Ren does not move, the two khanates will be like being put under Hao Ren's knife by the neck, and there will be no way to be the master of their own families.

"What you said is true?" Knowing that this question was very nonsense, Hao Ren couldn't help but ask.

"I can swear to God. But does Your Highness believe it? The priest replied.

Hao Ren also felt that this question was too nonsense, so he changed to a more valuable question, "Are these two khanates ready to use troops against me?" ”

"Your Highness, how can your army be afraid of King Khan. So they really want to fight, but it's nothing to win or defeat. As long as you fight with the two khanates, they can continue to appeal against Kublai Khan. Although the various khans and nobles of the Kuritai Congress were dispersed, according to the new Kuritai Assembly method, the representatives of the Khan and those nobles who wanted to advance remained in Baghdad. They probably won't support you. ”

Hao Ren still had the news of deceiving the priest at the beginning, and then planned to repent. After listening to the priest's words to this point, he no longer had the intention of killing. If the Baghdad-Kuritai Conference that this priest spoke about is true, then the Chagatai Khanate and the Ögedai Khanate are indeed invincible. In the eyes of those clan kings and nobles of the Kuritai Conference, the khans of these two khanates were more noble than Hao Ren Wanhu and needed to be protected.

If a priest can come up with such a design with his own brainpower, his view of the world will definitely be in the top ten in Mongolia, and Hao Ren feels that a priest who has reached this level is more valuable in surviving.

"Let this man go." Hao Ren said to the guards.

The priest didn't expect Hao Ren to be so simple, he rubbed his aching wrist that was bound by the rope, saluted Hao Ren and turned to leave. Looking at the priest's back, the guard couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, just let him go?" ”

"Let him go." Hao Ren just said simply. Turning his head, Hao Ren looked at the other guys who had been arrested, and his expression was not as kind as that of the priest. Wan Hu's voice was full of coldness, "What are you doing?" ”

More than an hour later, the guards suddenly ran in front of Hao Ren Wanhu, "Qi Qi Wanhu, that priest is back again." ”

"Let him in." Hao Ren replied in a bad mood. It had only just now ended his interrogation of several other suspicious elements, who had neither understood the situation nor had an accurate orientation to their work. So they finally confessed under torture, but Hao Ren felt angry. If the priest had come to get these people back, Hao Ren wouldn't mind changing his mind about not killing the priest.

After the priest walked in, he first gave Hao Ren a salute, and then said: "Your Highness, I didn't expect Your Highness to really spare my life, so I can't help but want to give His Highness a suggestion. ”

"Why give me advice. Aren't you loyal to the King of Ögedei Khan? There was no sense of appreciation in Hao Ren's voice.

"I originally thought that His Highness was an enemy, so I watched His Highness make such a great contribution, but he was treated like this. I know it's not fair to His Highness, so I'm happy. But since Your Highness said that I will let me go, I think I still want to give His Highness some advice. If there is a rebellion at this time, it will definitely not work. It's useless to wait here. I advise His Highness to go all the way to the west, to a place further west than Kiev. With the strength of the Great Khan now, it is simply impossible to chase there. And the Great Khan had no intention of hitting that side. ”

Listening to the priest's advice, Hao Ren was surprised. This was actually his idea, to build a new country in the far west. But is it told by others, or by the enemy, is there really no conspiracy behind this?

In such chaos, Hao Ren felt that all kinds of thoughts were tangled together. Glancing at the priest again, Hao Ren suddenly remembered the priest's previous words, "Your Highness, you are no longer a close confidant of the Great Khan. ”
