When Yang Jing returned from the north, he let Zhao Yun exploit all official positions, leaving only the title of Count Zhongyong and the idle errand of the Lifting Dongxiao Palace, many people think that Yang Jing's career has come to an end, and the big deal is that he is an earl who eats and waits for death.

But I don't know what happened in the palace, Yang Jing actually mastered the internal ban again, and ran errands with the Imperial Medical Hall and the Imperial Pharmacy for more than two months.

From the Count of Loyalty and Courage to the Marquis of Jingxi, the meaning of this is very obvious, one is just to commend the loyal and brave, to show grace, and the other is the real leader of the president!

Although there is still Jia Nidao as the prison army, he controls Yang Jing to the death, so that he can't do what he wants, and the 100,000 forbidden army is not so much in the hands of Yang Jing, but in the hands of Jia Nidao, the prison army.

But as long as the people in the court are not blind, they should know that Yang Jing has not only been reused, but also entered the core of real power!

So someone spread the news again, saying that before the court meeting, Dong Huai had greeted Yang Jing with the treatment of the prince, and the news that the official family was going to marry Princess Ruiguo and Yang Jing gradually entered the topic of discussion.

The courtiers began to run towards the Earl of Zhongyong Mansion again, no, now it is no longer the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion, but the Marquis of Jingxi's Mansion!

It's just that Yang Jing, as usual, closed his door to thank guests, but just entertained some familiar people such as Xu Fo and Dong Huai, and Jia Rudao asked people to send a family banquet to the post, which actually made Yang Jing refuse, which is a bit interesting!

Yang Jing also knew Jia Yidao's thoughts, and knew the intentions of these courtiers better, but he was not good at politics in the first place, so it was better not to touch it.

Just like a person who is not good at drinking, he must make his position not to drink from the beginning, otherwise after setting a precedent, those who persuade him to drink will come up, and he will not be able to get drunk if he wants to.

Although he did not meet these people, Yang Jing was not idle, and he was fully prepared during this time.

He asked Lu Baiyu to go to Jiangling first, summoned the native soldiers of Miao Jiang and Dong Zhai, recruited them in the name of the imperial court, and gave them extremely generous treatment, coupled with Lu Baiyu's appeal and Yang Jing's kindness to these people, this matter is not difficult to do.

Of course, Yang Jing also understands that there is no kindness in this world, and if you can let a group of people work for you, in the final analysis, you still have to come up with enough benefits.

For this reason, he has asked the imperial court to use the same method of resettlement of the Yelang people to settle these minority brothers who are regarded as barbarians by the imperial court.

The reason why Zhao Yun wanted to use Yang Jing was because Yang Jing had such influence in the southwest and south, and using these barbarians to defend southern Xinjiang was also a strategy he set, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.

This time, Kublai Khan led the Mongol army and captured Dali like lightning, but was blocked by the southwest and could only make a detour to Vietnam.

This Vietnam is not the Vietnam of later generations, it includes some areas in the south of Guangxi and the central part of northern Vietnam, called Jiaozhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, changed back to Jiaozhi in the Sui Dynasty, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, accepted the canonization of the king of Jiaozhi County of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and called its country Jiaozhi, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it began to be called Annam, and later changed to Vietnam.

Kublai Khan's detour to Vietnam was also a helpless move, after all, there was more than one step in the southwest and Sichuan and Shu guarded by the door god.

Yu Jie's fort tactics also extended to the southwest, where these areas were mountainous and the roads were rugged, which was not conducive to cavalry movements, and Kublai Khan did not have much to do.

In his opinion, the people of the Tran dynasty in Vietnam often harassed the Great Song border, and even went to the interior of Liangguang to burn and loot, and they must have hated the Song people and should be easily subdued.

He thought

The Tran Dynasty in Vietnam will bow their heads and bow down, who knows that these Tran Dynasty people who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth don't take the Mongolian army seriously at all!

The climate in that place was hot and humid, and the jungle was full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and the miasma was diffuse, and there were many dark swamps and deep pits, and the slightest carelessness could kill you.

The soldiers in the north simply could not stand such hot and humid weather, and many of them were not accustomed to the soil and water, and a large part of them fell ill and died.

And the terrain here is more complicated than the southwest, it is difficult to charge cavalry, march on horseback, these barbarians of the Chen Dynasty do not know which forest to drill out of, wow wow monster screamed and killed, and like a ghost hidden in the mountains and forests, the Mongolian army has no way at all!

Moreover, Guangxi and the southern part of Guangxi, since ancient times, the people have been fierce, and the ethnic minorities such as the black clothes are even more ferocious, and the rattan soldiers are famous wolf soldiers in ancient times, even if Kublai Khan surrendered to Vietnam, it is not easy to break into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty from Guangxi.

Almost three months have passed since the news was received, but the news of Vietnam's fall has not yet come, and there is no urgent military report on Quang Nam West Road, indicating that Kublai Khan has not yet cleaned up Vietnam.

Although it has been delayed until now, most of the reason is that there is a leprosy epidemic in the palace, and because the officials in the court believe that the north is the main battlefield, and Zong Yun's righteous army is the biggest hidden danger and threat, and they do not agree to send troops to the south.

But Zhao Yun finally chose to send troops in May, and it was not because he had actually prepared for it, he was very familiar with the advantages of the south, and it was a scorching heat in May and June, if he wanted to defeat the Mongols, this was the best time!

From this alone, it can be seen that Zhao Yun actually had a bottom of the entire military plan in his heart, and the ridiculous thing is that those officials in the court are still arguing about whether they should send troops or not, and even after Yang Jing's appointment is issued, there are still people arguing and shouting.

Yang Jing asked Lu Baiyu to go back in advance to recruit native soldiers and contact the black-clothed Zhuang and other ethnic minority brothers on Guangnan West Road, and asked Lu Changan to go to Juzhou, and transferred the 20,000 Luo Demon people of Yelang to the vicinity of Hengshanzhai.

Since Yang Jing decided to fight Zong Yun in the north and south, he has made final preparations for this upcoming war.

He once handed over everything he had to Zong Yun's rebels, including his own intelligence network, including the Mamluk mercenary group and the Viking Iron Bone Men who were recruited later, and he was always so selfless towards the rebels.

But when he finally wanted to become the commander of the first army like Zong Yun, he didn't have the worries he expected.

When everyone wanted to visit the newly promoted Jingxi Marquis, the general control of Guangnan West Road, Yang Jing changed into civilian clothes and sneaked out.

Ji Jin's belly was already big, and although she insisted on following Yang Jing, Yang Jing still persuaded her to stay at home and raise the baby.

Lu Baiyu has rushed back to Jiangling, and only Feng Ruochen and Countess Ashley, as well as Xiao Nimo, can follow Yang Jing.

However, Countess Ashley is a Western alien, and Nimo is a Mongolian, and neither of them is very good at martial arts, so Yang Jing did not take them with him.

After Yang Jing left the Marquis's Mansion with Feng Ruochen, he came to the Wanguo Hotel in the northwest of Wulin Gate under the leadership of Li Yu.

The envoys of many small countries are not eligible for preferential treatment by the imperial court, and can only solve the life of the envoys on their own, and even when they can be summoned, they also need to open up the joints.

There are also political needs here, such as the competition for the throne in the country, if one of them can get the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, then it will be a sure victory.

To many small countries there are also several envoys, in order to get

His Majesty the Emperor's summons also showed all his strength, sending a large number of gifts to the people of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, etc., and various means of making connections were also endless.

Of course, the envoys are also a bit like stones in the pit, smelly and hard, no gifts or stammering, Yelang is arrogant, just spent in Lin'an, such as the envoys of the Tran Dynasty from Vietnam!

When Vietnam was not called Vietnam, but when it was called Jiaozhi and Annam, the country was in turmoil for many years, and the poorer it was, the more noisy it was, and the poorer it was.

Vietnam has also experienced the Li Dynasty, the Li Dynasty and the Tran Dynasty, and now there is another Hu Dynasty in the country, and the land of the projectile is fighting for each other, and the people have never had a chance to breathe, let alone recuperate.

Vietnam is also unwilling to be lonely, often go to Quang Nam West Road to burn, kill and plunder, and have had many wars with the Zhuang people in Yongzhou and other places.

The famous general Di Qingdi Angel of the Northern Song Dynasty broke the Vietnamese at Kunlun Pass, and the Vietnamese army at that time was marching all the way, and the momentum was also terrifying, and finally it was not also gray and slipped.

In view of the fact that Vietnam is a monkey who loves to toss, the imperial court also ignores their envoys, and the envoys are greatly neglected, but they entertain themselves and deceive themselves, believing that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will one day see their sincerity and see their usefulness, and the envoys have always relied here.

At present, the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty is also in full swing, and the righteous army that came out of nowhere swept through Guanbei, the center of gravity of the imperial court is placed in the north, and the Vietnamese envoys are also sitting on the cold bench with peace of mind.

I thought that I was going to sit on the cold bench, but Yang Jing's arrival made the envoys a little flattered!

The most important thing in this world is the icing on the cake, and the most lacking is to send charcoal in the snow, Yang Jing's arrival, for the envoys, is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow!

Although they did not give gifts everywhere like other envoys, it does not mean that they do nothing, and they are very clear about the dynamics in the court, like other envoys.

As a new nobleman and the Marquis of Jingxi, Yang Jing's noble status goes without saying, and more importantly, Yang Jing has a great authority in his hands, which is enough to decide the life and death of the Vietnamese people!

If Yang Jing took the opportunity to take over Vietnam while resisting the Mongols, Vietnam would be sandwiched between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia, and he was afraid that even the bones would be gnawed away!

And the reason why the Vietnamese envoys are so tough, the greatest confidence and self-confidence also come from this!

They can choose to surrender, either surrender to the Mongols, lead the way for the Mongols, and help fight the Great Song Dynasty, or help the Great Song Dynasty and block the pace of the Mongol war!

It's a pity that no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty seems to realize this, and even if they do, no one has come to negotiate with the envoys, and they don't know what political purpose it is, or there is no oil and water and selfish interests in it.

But now, there is finally a person of insight, and he is the hottest Jingxi Marquis right now, Yang Jing!

Yang Jing's pattern is larger than those courtiers, and his vision is broader, Yang Jing may not be good at how to command the army, but when it comes to the direction of the general situation of the war, he is more familiar than anyone else!

The Mongol army in history attacked Vietnam three times, but failed to succeed three times, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that China really recovered Vietnam.

In other words, if Yang Jing could win the support of Vietnam, Kublai Khan would never have been able to cross this treacherous place and threaten the homeland security of the Great Song Dynasty!

If the ambition is greater, maybe with this point, Kublai Khan's soldiers and horses will be completely buried in the jungle, why not!
