Chapter 50: The Great Khan Sets the System
Genius remembered for a second, "Love β Γ· small? Say β', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Wang Donglu's eyes were fixed on the two cannons. These two cylindrical creatures have a smooth appearance, covered in a layer of black oily stuff that looks like they can be easily scratched.
When the two iron men were moved into the Golden Horde of the Great Khan Kublai Khan, Wang Donglu knew how hard they really were. Use the tip of your fingernail to scratch the iron cannon, and the iron cannon has not been scratched a trace, but the nail has been ground into white shavings. The iron cannon is less than a hundred catties, and it is quite difficult for two people to carry it. Recalling the fierce shelling of the Mongol army in Ezhou when they crossed the river, the earth-shattering power was actually caused by such a 'slender' thing, Wang Donglu still can't believe it.
But there were some things that he could not believe in but did not believe it, and the iron cannon was subjected to a test bombardment before it was transported into the big tent. A pound-heavy iron ball can not only be knocked out of sixty steps. At about forty paces, the inch-thick pine planks were easily punched out of the gap, just like those military ships on the Yangtze River.
"Get these guns out." Kublai Khan commanded.
Wang Donglu and the other guards hurriedly carried these two sharp weapons away and put them in a special tent outside. When Wang Donglu rushed back to his position as a guard, he saw the Mongolian nobles and said angrily in Mongolian, "Great Khan, this Han man is harboring evil intentions. He said that there were too few people in the north who had studied Confucianism, and that they should choose those who had studied Confucianism from among the captured southerners. But he picked thousands of people in one go. That's thousands! Isn't there anyone in the Han people in the north who studied Confucianism? β
Known as 'this Han man' was Gao Zhiyao, a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty, who was tall and calm as he listened to the fierce attacks of the Mongol nobles. γζβε»β³ε°βθͺͺβ³ηΆ² Qu γThere is really a demeanor that Taishan collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. Of course, Wang Donglu knew that this Hanlin bachelor did not know Mongolian. No matter what the Mongols say, he can only be regarded as a deaf ear.
Turning his gaze, Wang Donglu looked at Kublai Khan's most trusted Hanchen Hao Jing. I saw Hao Jing nodding slightly with a serious expression. So Wang Donglu unconsciously tended to support Gao Zhiyao in his heart, because Hao Jing is now Wang Donglu's teacher.
Last year, Kublai Khan established himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and without the suppression of his brother MΓΆngke, Kublai Khan began to fully implement the old Han system in Han land. Wang Donglu followed the trend and worshipped Hao Jing as a teacher and studied Confucianism. Because Mongolia used the era name for the first time, last year was the first year of the Central Unification of Mongolia. Hao Jing gave Wang Donglu a word, Qi Nian. Wang Donglu doesn't have much research on Sinology, whether it's Wang Donglu or Wang Qinian, it's all the same name anyway.
At this time, I heard Gao Zhiyao, a bachelor from Hanlin, speak, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he was full of emotions. Wang Donglu couldn't help but shift his gaze back to Gao Zhiyao. I heard Gao Zhiyao say: "...... For example, Jin also. Gold has a shallow depth, which is said to be gold; Talent is shallow and deep, and it is said that it is a must. β
There was an interpreter next to him who translated this into Mongolian and spoke it to the high-ranking Mongolian officials next to him, and when he heard this, the slender eyes of the high-ranking Mongolian officials widened.
Kublai Khan saw that the two factions under his command were all unwilling to back down, and he made a slight round, "This matter will be discussed again." β
The Mongolian nobles said angrily: "Great Khan! If this matter is discussed again, then you will follow the path that this Han man has led. β
Kublai Khan actually supported Gao Zhiyao's plan in his heart, and when he was so provoked, he laughed and said to Hao Jing: "What do you think? β
Hao Jing replied decisively: "What Gao Zhiyao said is right. Talent is shallow and deep, and it is said that it is a must. β
Kublai Khan turned his head to look at the Mongolian nobles, and saw that the Mongolian nobles had no intention of backing down. Similarly, Kublai Khan was quite excited when he saw that the Mongol nobles were directly expressing their opposition. The Han Confucian scholars, on the other hand, behaved calmly and fully maintained their respect for Kublai Khan.
Sighing in his heart, Kublai Khan once again felt that he was willing to support the Three Principles and Five Constants proposed by the Confucian scholars, as well as Zhu Zi's science. These are based on absolute respect for those in high positions. The state system is based on loyalty, and the family system is based on filial piety. With a clear system, there is a clear management. For Mongolian culture, there are no such considerations, strength and appeal are everything. Confucian theories are all fart. And the reasons of the Mongols are very good, if Confucianism is useful, why was it defeated by the Mongols, why did they ask the Mongol nobles for power?
Previously, Kublai Khan gradually established the old Han system in the Han land, and as the Han system became more and more extensive, the conflict became worse day by day. Making a judgment in his heart, Kublai Khan said: "In various official positions, the Mongols are the main officials. Hui people manage money, and Han people take up specific positions. β
The Mongolian nobles didn't expect Kublai Khan to come up with such a solution, but they didn't dare to answer immediately. After the narration, the Mongolian nobles also understood the system.
All the magistrates were Mongols, and the Hui were in charge of finances. Kublai Khan had Han Chen put together a series of complex administrative positions under the Han people.
"Great Khan! Can we be like our grassland, don't get such complicated official positions? "The Mongolian nobles are making an effort.
"Nope." Kublai Khan replied very simply in Mongolian, "Do you use a bow in the summer the same way you use a bow in winter?" Now not only the steppe belongs to our Mongolia, but also the big rivers and the sea belong to our Mongolian. Springfield is our Mongolian, summer, autumn, winter, all of them are our Mongolian. Since all this is Mongolian, why do you have to be stubborn about the steppe method? β
Hearing the Great Khan Kublai Khan say that 'everything is Mongol', the hearts of the Mongol nobles wavered. He continued: "Great Khan, if it is the system set by those Han people......
Kublai Khan interrupted the words of the Mongolian nobleman with a straight face, and his Mongolian language was solemn, "Where is the system set by the Han people in Mongolia, Mongolia only has the rules set by the Mongolian Great Khan." Am I not the Great Khan of the Mongols? β
Speaking of which, the Mongol nobles no longer had the idea of confronting Kublai Khan. He sang in the manner of Mongolian allegiance: "We Mongolian warriors are eagles, and we will fly wherever the sky is......"
Convincing the Mongol nobles, Kublai Khan said to Han Chen: "The first class of Mongolia, the second class of Huihui, and the third class of Han people." The Mongols were the main officers. Hui people manage money, and Han people take up specific positions. Forever the law! β
After listening to Kublai Khan's order and feeling Kublai Khan's irrefutable attitude, the Hanchen all bowed: "Obey the orders of the Great Khan!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! β
Looking at the appearance of the Hanchens, Wang Donglu felt very puzzled. He is a native of Dali and certainly does not belong to the Han Chinese. And those people with colored eyes are obviously not all the way. As Kublai Khan's bodyguard, Wang Donglu felt that he would probably fall into the ranks of the Mongols. What Wang Donglu is most puzzled about is that he has obviously become a third-class person, why these Hanchen still have a kind of excitement about 'having their great wishes fulfilled'.
Is this the philosophy of the Confucian scholars? Wang Donglu really couldn't understand such a complex issue. Reading, a better reading experience.
