Zhu Han cleared his throat and interrupted their discussion with something to say.

"Ahem!"

"Well, what people in the world care about is the erudition and wisdom of the saint, and what is truly immortal is the wisdom left by the saint, not the bloodline of the so-called descendants of the saint of his unfilial descendants, and now Kong Kejian is fake or true, anyway, he has already gone to the Mongols, and now the mansion of the Kong family is public!"

"This king plans to set up a Confucius Museum in the front yard, and the backyard will be used as a school and dormitory for Shandong Taixue."

Zhu Han's words immediately made a group of officials applaud one after another.

"Your Highness cares about the students, and all the people are looking forward to it!"

"Shandong is a land of sages, and with the support of His Royal Highness, my generation will definitely inspire the students to work hard."

"Prosperity of the Dao of Literature begins here!"

……

The scale of Yan Shenggong's mansion is so large, which Zhu Han never expected.

He originally thought that the mansion of Yan Sheng Gong was only thirty or fifty acres, which was already very large, but he never expected that it would be more than thirty or fifty acres, and even hundreds of acres.

It would be a serious waste to use such a large space to build the Confucius Museum.

Therefore, he immediately decided to make this the first new-style university hall in Shandong Province.

In front of the gate of the Confucian family's mansion there is a huge flat open space.

When Zhu Han led a group of officials here, he was immediately moved again.

"It's a pity if it's empty, what do you think of the statue of the first Confucius sage?" Zhu Han asked.

"Statue?"

"Isn't it a little inappropriate for clay puppets to be used in place of sages?"

These scholars-born officials were all Confucian scholars, and they naturally agreed with a set of Confucian doctrines from the bottom of their hearts.

Buddhism's practice of using clay statues to worship saints is not in the eyes of their readers.

"You don't understand, many ordinary people have not read, and they don't understand any subtle words, if there is an inspiring statue of a sage here, as long as you come to this statue, you can feel the teachings of Confucius, then wouldn't it educate the people invisibly!" Zhu Han immediately said what he thought.

Tall and majestic buildings or statues can be spiritually impressive.

Since His Royal Highness already had an idea, the officials who accompanied them naturally didn't say anything anymore.

Everyone immediately agreed.

Zhu Han sent people from Nanjing Yingtianfu to transfer a group of newly learned painting and sculpture talents, all of them were Zhu Han's disciples and grandchildren, and they all learned the realist painting and sculpture pioneered by Zhu Han.

Soon after, a sculpture more than ten meters high was erected here.

This statue of Confucius is pointing forward with a sword in one hand, raising a palm in the other hand to greet the back, and under the feet are layers of bamboo slips, striding forward as if to summon people to the battlefield.

The statue of Confucius is basically a reference to the image of the Soviet Motherland in later generations.

"The saint is calling!"

Zhu Han looked at the sculpture that he had provided a sketch, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and named it on the spot.

Zhu Han used the imperial history patrol to crack down on local tyrants in Shandong, and then established a new image of Confucius and promoted the new study of Confucianism, and the atmosphere of the whole Shandong suddenly took on a new look.

In less than three months, the common people and scholars in Shandong had strong support for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Han used the army under Qi Xiang to command the capital of Shandong, and launched another round of strikes against these remnants of the local tyrants, not only confiscating their property, but also distributing them to Guangnan Road and other places in Hunan to fill the army.

Under the new atmosphere of the Qingming Dynasty, thousands of Shandong people and righteous soldiers have asked the British King Zhu Han to fight, they want to immediately organize a Shandong righteous army to march to the capital of the Northern Expedition, completely eliminate those hateful Mongols, these Shandong righteous people have donated their money, the unprecedented scale of the people to ask for the Northern Expedition to the capital, immediately like long legs to the capital of the capital of the capital of Mengyuan.

The entire capital city was shaken all of a sudden.

Inside the Dayuan Palace.

The Empress Dowager of Dayuanqi immediately summoned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to discuss countermeasures.

Now Empress Qi's concubine Wang Baobao is stationed in Liaoyang Province and is not in the capital, so Empress Dowager Qi herself is a little undecided.

"Now that the Ming army is recruiting troops in Shandong with great fanfare, it is possible to attack Dadu north at any time, which of you has a way to deal with the enemy? Come on! Empress Dowager Qi said with an anxious face.

The group of civil and military officials of the Yuan Dynasty below immediately looked at each other, and they had no good way to deal with the aggressive posture of the Ming army.

"Tell the Queen Mother, the minister feels that at this time, he should mobilize troops and horses from Huli and Wanhu and other places to go to Shandong to fight against these rebellions, as long as these rebellions are beaten out of Shandong, then Henan can be further recovered in the recovery of Guanzhong." A Mongolian nobleman with big braids suddenly spoke.

For this suggestion made by this Mongolian general.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all showed a sarcastic smile in their hearts.

Even the Empress Dowager Qi of Dayuan showed a displeased expression when she heard this.

"Huligai Wanhu is full of savage Jurchens, if you want to come to the Central Plains to send troops to suppress thieves, you must provide a large number of grain and grass rewards, now the treasury is almost empty, what can you do to let those Huligai savage Jurchens come to the Central Plains to attack the thieves?"

Empress Dowager Qi's words immediately made the Mongolian general speechless, and she couldn't say a single strategy to deal with it.

"Queen Mother, now that the Han people are revival, there are millions of people, so many soldiers and horses are really not something that hundreds of thousands of people in my Great Mongolia can contend with, the minister thinks that the best suggestion is to gather the population treasures and grain and grass in Dadu, Liaoyang, Hebei, and Shanxi, and move north to the grassland!" At this time, another minister said.

This minister was also a Mongol, and his name was Sainchi Tahu.

This Sainchi snoring is none other than Wang Baobao's biological father.

If you count it, this Sainchi snoring is still the father-in-law of the queen mother!

Therefore, Sain's words carried a lot of weight, and his words were immediately supported by some civil and military officials.

Even the Empress Dowager Qi listened to it, and she agreed very much.

"In the past, Wang Taibao once said that I wanted to let Dayuan preserve its strength and move to the Mobei grassland, at that time, the Ming army's attack was not so urgent, and now seeing Zhu Han's layout in Shandong, I am afraid that it will not take long to enter the army to attack Dadu, and it seems that it is imminent to move the capital to the Mobei grassland." Empress Dowager Qi said.

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense, now the situation is not the same as before, and it is even more critical than before, if my Great Mongolia does not preserve its strength, once the Ming army attacks Dadu, I am afraid it will be too late to leave at that time, even if it is barely able to break out of the encirclement, it will not be able to take away so many people, food and treasures." Sainchi replied.

"However, after all, the matter of moving the capital is very important, and we still need to get a positive answer from Wang Taibao." Empress Dowager Qi finally said.

In today's Great Yuan Dynasty, only Wang Baobao has the most elite troops in his hands, and major events in the court cannot be implemented without Wang Baobao's consent.

Although Wang Baobao only has fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, he is already the last main force of the Mengyuan court.

So now the entire Great Yuan Dynasty, even if there is any policy change, Wang Baobao needs to be recognized.

Without Wang Baobao's protection, these thousands of civil and military officials in Dadu rashly embarked on the journey north to the grassland, fearing that they would be looted by various tribes along the way before they settled on the grassland.

After all, don't look at the fact that the Great Mongolia has been founded for hundreds of years, but the grassland is still in a state of fragmentation, and the leaders of the vassal tribes who stay on the grassland often fight with each other.

The various tribes will definitely pounce on them and eat them clean, no matter what kind of Mongolian Khan or Emperor Dayuan you are, anyway, there are still many descendants of the Golden Family on the grassland now, and then you can pull out one casually and be the Great Khan of Mongolia.

In fact, the most dangerous characters are the bloodlines of those golden families on the steppe, that is, the Mongolian kings who are divided on the steppe.

These Mongolian princes who stayed in the steppe, if they destroyed Emperor Aiyou and Empress Dowager Qi, then they themselves could sit on the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Therefore, if these Mongolian nobles in most of the capital want to move north to the steppe, they must be protected by Wang Baobao's soldiers and horses.

"Okay, that's the end of today's court meeting, you all disperse." Empress Dowager Qi waved her hand a little lazily.

"Obey the order, the ministers will retire!"

Seinchi replied and waited for a group of civil and military officials of the Great Yuan to salute immediately, and then withdrew from the palace.

When the courtiers retreated, the Empress Dowager Qi also got up slightly.

Twisting his slightly fat figure, he walked to the side hall.

Empress Dowager Qi took the pen and ink, wrote a secret letter by hand, and arranged for her confidant eunuchs to send it to Liaodong and hand it over to Wang Baobao.

The content of this letter is naturally to summon Wang Baobao to return to Dadu as soon as possible to discuss the matter of Meng Yuan's relocation of the capital to the Mobei grassland, if such a big matter is not made by Wang Baobao, the Empress Dowager Qi will not dare to make up her mind.

Although Wang Baobao is many years younger than the Empress Dowager Qi, Wang Baobao's means and abilities have already made it impossible for the Empress Dowager Qi to leave Wang Baobao.

Empress Qi's secret letter was soon handed over to Wang Baobao.

After Wang Baobao opened the letter, he was greatly surprised by the series of layouts of the Ming army in Shandong.

According to Zhu Han's layout in Shandong, it will not be long before Shandong will become an important base for the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

If the grain and grass population of Shandong were used to attack the capital in the north, there would not be much time left for the Mongols to prepare.

"I originally thought that the Ming army would use the grain and grass population in the south of the Yangtze River as the basis for the Northern Expedition, but now it seems that they want to use Shandong's manpower and material resources, so we really don't have much time to prepare."

After Wang Baobao saw the letter, he said to his second brother Aru Timur with a worried face.

"In my opinion, these thieves in Shandong are vulnerable, if they didn't have more firearms in their hands, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss in Qufu." As soon as Aru Timur mentioned the situation in Shandong, his face was immediately full of dissatisfaction.

Wang Baobao's defeat in Qufu, Shandong can be said to be the most important failure in his life.

Not only did he lose a lot of soldiers and horses, but he also gave the life of his uncle Chakhan Timur there.

"What you said makes sense, although the Ming army is strong, it is indeed not so strong that it is desperate, they just rely on more firearms in their hands, so before we retreat to the Mobei grassland this time, we must also accumulate enough firearms in our hands." Wang Baobao said.

For the overall relocation of the Great Yuan Dynasty to the Mobei grassland, Wang Baobao already had his own plan in his heart, but in his plan, there was an item more important than the population's food, gold and silver, that is, there should be sufficient gunpowder and firearms.

Several battles with the Red Turban Army and the Ming Army before made Wang Baobao fully realize that the gunpowder weapons in the hands of the Ming army were many times more advanced than those of the Mongols, and often before they entered hand-to-hand combat, the firearms of the Ming army shot indiscriminately, and the Mongols were beaten on their backs and suffered heavy casualties.

With such a big advantage at the beginning, the Ming army is naturally invincible.

Therefore, after Wang Baobao led his troops to flee to Dadu, he ordered craftsmen from all over the country to concentrate in Dadu and began to develop advanced firearms, mainly imitating the guns and artillery of the Ming army.

If you want to win, you have to have more muskets and artillery.

"Brother, I don't understand it." Aru Timur said suddenly.

"If there's anything you don't understand, tell me." Wang Baobao looked at his reckless brother and asked.

"The Mobei Grassland is thousands of miles away from here, as long as we take our troops and flee to the Mobei Grassland, it will be impossible for the Ming army to catch up with us in this life, since this is the case, what are the muskets and artillery for? Let's directly kill all the Han people in the Dadu area of Liaoyang, take all the women, grain and livestock, and leave the Ming army with a blank land, can they still catch up with us?! Can you afford to waste so much time here? ”

Alu Timur always felt that Wang Baobao's series of preparations in Liaoyang Dadu were a waste of time, and in his opinion, since he couldn't defeat the Ming army, it would be better to simply flee far away.

"You really haven't made any progress, you always think about things so simply, and you have forgotten all the things I have taught you in so much time!?" Wang Baobao first reprimanded.

Then Wang Baobao got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and then explained to his brother Aru Timur:

"It's too stupid for you to think so, our enemies are not only the Ming army, nor are they just the rebels of the Central Plains and Han land, and the grassland is also full of dangers, those leaders who have been vassal kings for hundreds of years, will they really like Emperor Dayuan to go to the grassland with us?"

When Wang Baobao's words came to this, even the tendon Aru Timur understood it.

In fact, these Mongolian vassal kings on the steppe were originally good emperors, but suddenly a real Mongolian Khan and Great Yuan Emperor came from the sky and gave orders on their territory, so they were naturally very unhappy.

Even, if the Great Yuan court further centralizes power in order to strengthen its rule on the grassland, I am afraid that the vassal kings of the various tribes will also rise up in rebellion.

Rebellion is not only the preserve of the Han Chinese, but also these Mongols.

After all, for more than 100 years, the Great Mongolia has been in a dominant position of expansion, even if the Great Yuan stopped expanding after the establishment of the Great Yuan, it would collect a large amount of taxes in the Central Plains every year, and flow to the steppe in the name of rewards and trades.

These tribal leaders on the grassland were all loyal to the Great Yuan Dynasty one by one, relying on the countless rewards of the Great Yuan Court.

Once the Great Yuan Court became a lost dog and fled to the grassland, the leaders of the various tribes in the grassland naturally did not have all kinds of rich rewards from the Central Plains, and their loyalty to the Great Yuan Court was greatly reduced.

"If we fight for manpower, although we have many soldiers and horses, but we can't resist the bite of the wolves, we must have absolutely strong force, so that all tribes obey our orders and work together to target the Ming army, which is our hope for survival in the Mobei grassland."

Wang Baobao was not at all sure about the loyalty of the various tribes on the grassland.

If the army of the Great Yuan could have a large number of powerful gunpowder weapons like the Xiang Ming army, and form a crushing military advantage over the various tribes of the grassland, then Wang Baobao would be able to maintain the rule of the Great Yuan court in the Mobei grassland.

Otherwise, once the Great Yuan Dynasty moved to the Mobei grassland, there was no need for the Ming army to attack, and only a trace of weakness was exposed, and the various tribes in the grassland would pounce on them and wipe them dry.

Empress Dowager Qi said in the letter that she hoped that Wang Baobao would return to Dadu immediately, so Wang Baobao did not delay time, and immediately handed over all the military and political affairs of Liaoyang Province to his younger brother Alu Timur to preside, and then led thousands of elite cavalry to return to Dadu in a hurry.

After three days and three nights of galloping, Wang Baobao took advantage of the night to return to the capital.

As soon as he returned to the capital, Wang Baobao didn't even go to see his father Sainchi.

Entered the Dayuan Palace overnight.

"Queen Mother, the minister is here!"

In the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Qi, all the eunuchs and palace maids withdrew from the door, and only the Empress Dowager Qi and Wang Baobao were in the room.

Hearing Wang Baobao's words, the Queen Mother Qi, who was dressed in cool embroidered clothes and exuded the fragrance of fat powder, plunged into Wang Baobao's arms.

Wang Baobao was only in his early twenties, and he was at the age of his blood, and when he saw such a beautiful and moving Empress Dowager, he scooped her up, and then strode towards the withered golden bed.

However, the Empress Dowager Qi grabbed Wang Baobao's arm and did not twist her coquettish cry in her lover's arms as usual.

"Good brother, can you not do it today?" Empress Dowager Qi said with a shy face.

"Ah, not today, is the Queen Mother in poor health today?" Wang Baobao said with a little regret.

The expression on Empress Dowager Qi's face became more complicated, and she said in an extremely subtle voice in Wang Baobao's arms.

"It's not that I'm sick, but I'm happy...!"

Rumble!

Hearing this, Wang Baobao suddenly felt a roar ringing in his mind.

"What!?"

"What.

。 What's the joy? Wang Baobao's mouth involuntarily began to stutter.

Empress Dowager Qi glanced at him, stroked her lower abdomen with her slender white and tender little hands and said.

"Of course there is joy in this belly, you are going to be a father!"

Regarding the matter of being a father, Wang Baobao is actually not very unfamiliar.

Although he is only in his early twenties now, several concubines in the family have already given birth to three or four children for him.

But letting the Empress Dowager of the current dynasty give birth to a child for herself, Wang Baobao is still the absolute first time.

"The queen mother, the minister, the minister is guilty!"

Wang Baobao's arm loosened, put the Empress Dowager Qi on the ground, and then took a step back and knelt on the ground to kowtow and plead guilty.

Well, the scene became very awkward for a while.

On the one hand, the Empress Dowager Dayuan is happy, and on the other hand, the Taibao is guilty.
