Chapter 125: Where the Authority Lies (4)

"This is Ganmara, Amarba, Timur. It's all the sons of real gold......"

Boyan listened to Kublai Khan's introduction, but he couldn't help but be distracted in his heart. He quickly realized his rare reaction and tried to pull back his thoughts, but he couldn't help but think of his newborn son. Princess Mary desperately gave birth to the child, who was a little thin. Kublai Khan's grandsons in front of him were all strong.

Retracting his thoughts and looking at a few young people carefully, Boyan found that they were also looking over. Among the three brothers, the eldest son, Ganmara, is the most burly and sturdy, and he looks like a leading general. The third son, Timur, looked smart and clever, and had a very pleasing feeling. The second answer is more like reading more, at least he likes to think more after encountering things.

"What would you do if you were to lead an army to attack a place you hadn't been before?" Kublai Khan asked.

The three brothers were stunned, and their eyes quickly became sharp. The second and third were already a little eager to try, and the boss lowered his gaze slightly, and he didn't look like he was in a hurry to speak.

After answering the questions, Kublai Khan sent them away, and then asked Boyan, "Who do you think can be the commander?" ”

"It would be better for them to lead their men than to have a commander."

"Of the three, who do you think is stronger?"

"I just said a few words, and I don't know which one is stronger."

"Are you willing to lead troops to recruit Tianzhu?"

"The sword is tempered on the anvil, and the warrior fights on the battlefield. The Great Khan wanted to see how powerful the three imperial grandsons were, so he let them use them to their heart's content. ”

Kublai Khan looked at Boyan and felt that this person had not changed much from twenty years ago, and he could be so calm and calm at any time.

"Boyan, don't you want to have your own fief?"

"The minister has a deep hatred for Mamluk, and he just wants to kill him completely. He was willing to sacrifice all of Egypt to the Great Khan. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What happened to the plague in Egypt? ”

"No Egyptians have fled from us lately, and the minister is preparing to send cavalry to Egypt to check the situation."

"Do it well."

When Boyan said goodbye and left, he felt very happy in his heart. Since arriving in Baghdad, Boyan only returned to the Great Khan's Golden Horde when Kublai Khan needed it. This time, he was able to leave Baghdad with all his beards and tails, and the handsome Boyan breathed a sigh of relief. Without the slightest pause, Marshal Boyan set out directly on the road back to Jerusalem.

In the region known to later generations as Kuibyshev, Hao Ren gathered his generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will go all the way to the west, and this time I will be able to walk more than a thousand miles to reach the land I promised you back then. Once we get to the west, it's our new home. We will live and work there in peace and contentment, and we will never have to be displaced again. ”

In a few years, Hao Ren will also be forty years old. In the past five or six years, he has been running around, looking thin and straight, and he has not the slightest intention of compromising with fate. In the eyes of everyone, Hao Ren seemed to be shining like a sheathed treasure knife.

Seeing Hao Ren looking at him, Zuo Prime Minister Wei Jingwang hurriedly began to talk about the arrangements for the westward expansion, "This westward advance, all the ministries are dispatched according to the allocated prefectures. and the houses of the procession that go through the house shall be burned down......"

Never repenting is one of the bases of the plan formulated by the upper echelons, and they are not surprised to listen to the narration of Zuo Prime Minister Wei Jingwang. The middle and lower classes listened to this ruthless method of burning down the residence, and their expressions were shocked by Hao Ren's determination. When Wei Jingwang finished speaking, a lower class asked tentatively: "King, why don't we move in two years." The land here is fertile and yields a lot. ”

Hao Ren had already made up his mind, and said without hesitation at this time: "The land in the west is far more fertile than here, let's start early, and if we leave early, we can catch up with the cultivation in the west." Don't wait for the slightest fluke to think that you can enjoy it. We are now spread out like the palms of our hands. Once a certain finger is injured by someone else, the fist cannot be clenched. You can only suffer losses. The sooner we merge with everyone, we'll be safe. ”

has been following Hao Ren for so long, even if everyone does not agree with Hao Ren's opinion, they also obey Hao Ren's authority. Immediately after the meeting, the side began to set off westward. Every 30 miles, a military station is made of straw ropes woven from wheat straw into straw bags, which are filled with soil and built into a temporary shelter. The Mongol army was once powerless in the face of such fortifications, and now Hao Ren also borrowed the technology of the Great Song Dynasty.

The ancient march was 60-80 miles a day, and Hao Ren's troops had been repairing here for more than a year, and their physical strength was still quite abundant at this time. The team doesn't carry farm tools and furniture or anything like that, and marches 60 miles a day. Hao Ren left last, he looked at it every day, and he was actually quite nervous in his heart. This is the last part of the trip, and Hao Ren, who has experienced countless accidents in the previous trip, can't let go of it in his heart.

Bao Xiqiao stayed with Hao Ren, and she held her fifth child to breastfeed quietly. Seeing the figure of his wife and children, Hao Ren felt a heavy pressure. This pressure came not only from the dangers that might be encountered along the way, but also from the Great Khan of Kublai Khan, the lord of Hao Ren. Hao Ren clearly felt that as he grew older, Kublai Khan became less and less able to allow things to go beyond his permission. For those who worked for Kublai Khan, the khan's proximity became more and more apparent. Hao Ren was worried that he would not know when he would become the target of Kublai Khan's purge.

In the Mongol order decided by the new Kuritai Conference, there was no room for Hao Ren. He will either do something in or near the royal capital as a member of the Torre family, or he will be assigned to a small grassland, where he will live the same life day after day, year after year.

Hao Ren was unwilling.

"Official." Bao Xi's weak call interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts.

Raising his head, Hao Ren asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard from the officials that you want Hao Kang to go to the Great Song Dynasty to study?" Bao Xi asked weakly.

"Song Guo hasn't sent the news yet, and I don't know if I can get my wish. If Song Guoken agrees, our children will all go to Song Guo to study in the future, and it is best that everyone can finish college. Hao Ren replied.

This is Hao Ren's sincere words, if he can, he is willing to build his country according to the model of the Great Song Dynasty. Over the years, every time I think back to learning the true meaning of 'materialism' with Zhao Jiaren, Hao Ren feels that it is the biggest opportunity in his life. The second opportunity is to marry Bao Xiweak, so that he no longer has to live in a Mongolian family.

"If Song Guo agrees, I will also establish a new system of subjects in our country, from primary school, middle school, high school, and university. Let the children of our country learn culture from an early age like the Song Kingdom. Hao Ren couldn't help but look forward to the future.

Bao Xiqiao did not answer. Her father was a talented man, and after Hao Ren was able to control hundreds of thousands of people alone, he established the imperial examination system and opened a school system. Most of Hao Ren's subordinates were Han Chinese from the north, but there were also a few Song people. Looking at those children and those officials, Bao Xiweak even felt like he was returning to his hometown.

One of the reasons why he asked this was to make Hao Ren feel better. Only when talking about building a completely sinicized country can Hao Ren leave behind the heavy burden in his heart and allow him to face the future happily for the time being.

Another purpose is to cherish the weak, and there is something really in his heart. Hao Kang is Yang Tiexin's child, and if this child goes to the Great Song Dynasty to study, it is possible to go to Hangzhou. Hangzhou is not too far from Songjiang, Bao's hometown.

Without waiting for Bao Xiweak to continue, the attendant hurriedly came, "Lord Wang, the messenger of the Great Khan has arrived." ”

The smile that was unconsciously revealed because of longing disappeared from Hao Ren's face in an instant. The moment had finally come to decide his fate, and now the Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan had gathered millions of his subordinates in the Crescent of the Two Rivers. This region was located in the center of the Mongol Empire, and the four khanates, the Ilkhanate of the Tore, the Kipchak Khanate of the Jochi, the Γ–gedai Khanate, and the Chagatai Khanate, were all located next to the direct domain of the Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan could mobilize an army of 50,000 at any time to launch an attack on any enemy. If the mobilization time is extended to half a year, Kublai Khan can easily mobilize more than 100,000 troops. Even if the soldiers were experienced in a hundred battles, they could at most die with Kublai Khan's army. Then the women and children of the Fubing family will probably have to rely on themselves to protect themselves.

"Welcome!" Hao Ren stood up resolutely. He was already willing to accept his fate, and no matter what fate Kublai Khan's envoys brought, Hao Ren would carry it out according to his wishes to the end.

The attendants behind the envoys held the Great Scroll of the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan, and the ornate decoration represented Kublai Khan's majesty and authority. Hao Ren's personal soldiers were ambushed outside the meeting venue, and as long as Hao Ren gave an order, they would rush out and kill all the envoys. In addition to the ambushed soldiers, the other soldiers were already nervously checking for news of the approach of the enemy brigade. Although Hao Ren had already made a lot of alerts, these alert systems did not send back a message. But there is no room for the slightest difference at such times.

Hao Ren, who had made these preparations, calmly walked up to the envoy and bowed to the Great Khan of the Mongols. Kublai Khan's messenger took out the decree and began to sing with the decree in his hand. According to Mongolian tradition, the will is to be sung.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You fought for the Great Khan, you fought for Mongolia. The Great Khan has blue eyes on you, and the past is ...... in your heart."

Hao Ren listened to the messenger's singing, and his heart was uneasy. Even if you have merit, what can you do, the era of relying on one's own strength to obtain merit has long passed. It was Genghis Khan, and it was his four sons who obtained the real fief, and these four sons were all born to the queen. And so it was with hundreds of other sons.

The same was true in the era that followed. Among the descendants of the Torre family, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, HΓΌlegΓΌ, and Ali Buge are also the queen's biological sons. Among the sons born to non-empresses is Hao Ren's father, even if his father is Torre, what can he do. It's just better than the ordinary shepherd slave.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Today I heard that you were heading west, and the Great Khan thought it was possible. Before leaving, he explained diligently, and was loyal to the Great Khan......

Hao Ren only felt that his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body was throbbing. Kublai Khan actually agreed to his request?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Kievan Rus' was to the west and originally belonged to the Kipchak state. The Great Khan Long gave Hao Ren the grace and ordered you to be in charge of the western road. Remember not to occupy the east, and not to invade the Kipchak Khanate. The west is boundless, and the Mongolian boy is galloping......"

When the envoy finished singing Kublai Khan's will, Hao Ren was prostrating, and then got up to receive the will.

"Feast! Wash the dust of the honorable messenger! Hao Ren shouted to his soldiers.

The attendant led the envoy into the tent, and Hao Ren hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and investigate, and you must not relax in the slightest." ”

At this time, Hao Ren was not willing to die because of the slightest carelessness. According to the information of the Polo priests and the liaison between Hao Ren and the Hanchen in Baghdad, many of the princes who were resident in Baghdad in the new Kuritai Congress had a deep hatred for Hao Ren, and they had been violently beaten by Hao Ren.

The messenger was very pleased with the ale and drank it very happily. Hao Ren and Hao Ren's subordinates urged him to drink, and the envoy also told him about the recent situation in Baghdad when he was drunk. "Now the people around the Great Khan are thinking about the southern expedition to Tianzhu, who ...... No one has ever mentioned the matter of 10,000 households. ”

"Haha. I see. Hao Ren said happily. Although he was also drinking, Hao Ren's heart was not so relaxed. If the envoy was telling the truth, Hao Ren, who had made great contributions to Kublai Khan's relocation of the capital to Baghdad, was sent to the west, and Boyan, who had made a comprehensive design for moving the capital, faced Egypt, and probably when the plague subsided, he would send troops to the desert area of Egypt again.

Those who remained in Baghdad were Kublai Khan's royal family and the courtiers. If Hao Ren stayed there now, he would probably have to mix with those people in the turbulence within the palace.

After entertaining the envoy, Hao Ren returned to his residence a little drunk. Bao Xiwan saw Hao Ren coming back, and was thinking about culture, but saw Hao Ren carrying a bottle of ale wine and sitting on a stool. Bao Xi couldn't help frowning slightly. Hao Ren said with relief: "If it is...... If the news is correct. The Great Khan has made me the governor of the Western Frontier Road, and we have an official name! ”

"Oh." Bao Xiwan just responded, she cared more about when Hao Ren's drunken madness would happen.

Raising the wine bottle and taking a big sip, Hao Ren sighed: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly!" Unexpected! ”

"Since it's going so well, you'd better go sleep for a while." Bao Xi weakly persuaded.

"Can't I say a few words here?" Hao Ren gave Bao Xi a weak look.

Looking at this relieved drunken cat, Bao Xiqiao heard the little son in the house crying. She sighed, got up, and went back to the bedroom.

Hao Ren was preparing to follow up on the bedroom. The attendant came in to report, "Lord Wang, Prime Minister Zuo is here." ”

"Let's ...... Let him in. ”

Soon, Zuo Prime Minister Wei Jingwang came in with his attendants, "Lord Wang, the five thousand people who will leave tomorrow are ready." ”

Every day is preparing for this migration, Hao Ren can discuss fluently without thinking, "I got the news today that the Great Khan promised us to move west. Although we can't be completely assured, we still increase the daily population to 10,000. ”

"Is it in such a hurry?"

"Soldiers, noble and fast!" Hao Ren can remember to say to Wei Jingwang before he was confused.

When he woke up the next day, Hao Ren felt quite comfortable. When I got up, I saw that I was sleeping next to my wife. I put on my clothes and walked out of the room, and it was already dawning outside. I saw that the captains of the government soldiers were reorganizing their teams and preparing to set off. The 10,000-strong team looks okay when it is in a tight queue, but after dispatching, it can form a team that is several miles long. At this time, there was no shortage of cries from the dolls, and there were also some women who couldn't help crying about their furniture and house.

The men were quite calm, after all, they had come here from Shanxi, Hebei, and the men knew that it was completely impossible to carry furniture. Following the order, the brigade of men and carts began to march westward.

Hao Ren went back to the cafeteria to eat, and then went to the office. Naturally, everyone discussed the westward migration, and the total number of Han people who followed Hao Ren here was more than 500,000, and most of them were young people. Now that the total has increased to 700,000, the 100,000 new children are really lucky, and many of them would have died if it had not been for the Kuibyshev region's suitability for growing food. But how many people will unfortunately die during this thousand-mile migration?

"Two hundred thousand people have gone. Even 10,000 people a day have to walk for another 40 days. Hubu Shangshu Lin Daihua sighed.

"Then go 20,000 a day." Hao Ren replied, "Ten thousand in the morning, ten thousand in the afternoon." From here to Kievan Rus', more than a thousand miles. That's a twenty-day journey. Last year, 100,000 people were already prepared there, and the land there is extremely fertile, so if you get there, you can start farming. ”

"There must have been some accidents on the way." Lin Daihua couldn't help but remind.

Hao Ren said impatiently: "What should I deal with at this time?" In the end, all the cavalry and carts were gone. Even if it is transported, it can also transport them to Kievan Rus. ”

Twenty-two days later, Hao Ren and the last of the cavalry left the garrison. Originally, Hao Ren wanted to burn all the wooden houses, but he couldn't do it. Either way, this is where they once lived. The main reason for saying so ruthlessly before is to dispel the delusions left by those who are not determined. At this point, everyone left the station, and there was no point in burning it again.

Hao Ren looked at the familiar house and decisively ordered, "Let's go!" Then he took the cavalry and went away.

There were still a few sick and wounded people in the barracks, and Hao Ren ordered them to be transported in empty carts. After walking out for ten days, I saw a newly built tomb near the military station. It should be the dead in the ranks of immigrants who are forever resting here. The more you walk, the more tombs you have. At first, the tombs were mostly near the military station, and later there were also tombs on the roadside.

Hao Ren has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and Hao Ren has done his best when he moved west, but human life cannot be completed simply by planning. A lot of people died on the road. Compared to previous migrations, the number of dead was much lower.

Twenty days later, Hao Ren arrived at his destination, Kievan Rus'. Kievan Rus is an ancient East Slavic language, this country is an Eastern European monarchy founded by the Viking Oleg with the East Slavs as the main body, which existed from 882 to 1240 and had the capital Kiev. It was destroyed during the 1236-1240 Batu expedition.

Since then, Kievan Rus' has become a place name, referring to the Kiev region. This region was bordered by Poland and Lithuania, and the Mongols were not able to gain a foothold in this area, which belonged to the frontier of the Mongol Empire, and even outside the territory. In the year 326 of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, in 1886, Hao Ren had already sent relatively strong men and horses to arrive here, and soon established a stronghold. The black soil here is so fertile that as long as you burn the weeds and sow the seeds, you can have a rich harvest.

Standing on his own territory, Hao Ren looked at the blue sky and the endless plains under the blue sky, and he only felt a lot of emotion in his heart. This is the western place he once believed he could fight for his own world. After really arriving here, Hao Ren saw nothing, and he wanted to carve out a world of his here. The long journey took him years, and when he reached the end, he found that it only meant a new beginning. That mixture of anticipation and loss is indescribable for Hao Ren.

Since he couldn't say anything, Hao Ren could only hold a meeting first. Zuo Prime Minister Wei Jingwang first congratulated everyone on finally arriving at their destination, and then said: "Let's divide the land and start farming." ”

"No." Shang Daxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately objected, "The prince said that we must learn the system of the Tang Dynasty. The land cannot be divided among themselves. We were all landlords, and when the land was divided, the government came to collect taxes, and we probably had to come down with knives. It's still good as the prince said, let's learn the methods of the Nanban. ”

Hao Ren listened to these discussions, and felt very happy in his heart. It was only because he respected the Han system that he also carried out the imperial examination internally when he was in difficulty. I didn't expect the system to play such a big role, even the people who came out of the exam at a critical moment are all different people. At least I can make a point.

The so-called Southern Barbarian means are naturally the system adopted by the Great Song Dynasty. It is also thanks to Zhao Jiaren that he never concealed his views, and his content on the 'study of the system of the First Qin and Han Empires' was directly published in the newspaper. Hao Ren and his men were also able to learn a lot about political science that they would not have known otherwise.

The abolition of the well field only replaced the earlier model of joint labor with the family-based means of production. But when the state sows seeds, two and two-thirds of the rice seeds are used per mu; a bucket for millet and wheat; two-thirds of the adzuki beans; Half a bucket of soybeans. If the land is fertile, the amount of seeds sown per acre can be appropriately reduced. The state used laws to ensure that all farmers used the most advanced methods at the time to grow their crops. The state's management of farming can be so specific.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cattle began to replace manpower in cultivating fields, and its significance at that time was no less than the use of tractors instead of cattle in modern agriculture. Therefore, the status of the ox was very important in the Qin state's national policy of cultivating the country. The newspaper said: In the Qin and Han dynasties, the number of cattle in each county should be strictly registered. If more than three cows die in a year due to improper breeding, the cattle keeper is guilty, and the official in charge of the cattle is punished, as are the prefectural officials and the prefectural ordinance. If a person is responsible for feeding ten adult cows, and six of them do not give birth to calves, the person who feeds the cows is guilty. Those involved are also subject to varying degrees of punishment.

The Qin and Han dynasties did not completely replace the well-field system with private ownership, but comprehensively upgraded the well-field system in response to the development of productive forces.
