Chapter 69: Mission Accomplished
Fan Zhuoyuan looked around, and ugly faces who disregarded fairness appeared in front of him, but he had no room for refutation on this occasion, just because he was a southerner general!
And above the court, there is not even a single southerner bureaucrat! There is no way anyone can stand up and speak for him.
After all, Kublai Khan had issued a strict order to prohibit the southerners from entering the center as officials, which shows how much he was afraid of the old Song and southern people, among the various ethnic groups conquered by the Mengyuan Dynasty, they were the most guarded against the southern Han people, and the only ones who killed them the most were the southern Han people!
But at this time, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't care, because the system had already sent a prompt......
"Optional task 2: Return to the Central Plains and achieve the title of Mengyuan First Warrior. (Completed)
Reward: 160,000 proficiency points, Martial Arts of the Gathering Realm and the Extravagant Skill of the Dragon God. ”
Fan Zhuoyuan was surprised, thinking about why this task was completed?
Until he looked up and looked around, there were well-known people such as Samman, Battell, Tibetan Twin Monks, Ba Sipa, Prime Minister Boyan, Qi Zhicheng, and Sloppy Taoist.
Although he didn't speak for him at this time, there was pity and regret in his eyes, and he obviously agreed with Fan Zhuoyuan's strength from the bottom of his heart, and the name of the first warrior of Mengyuan should belong to him!
Even the other people around who tried to persuade Kublai Khan, the eyes that looked at Fan Zhuoyuan at this time were not disdain and contempt, but full of jealousy and fear.
Even though they nominally prevented Fan Zhuoyuan from winning the title of the first warrior of Mengyuan, in fact, everyone had already agreed with this statement in their hearts.
Including Kublai Khan on the throne.
Fan Zhuoyuan said secretly: Could it be that the condition for the achievement of the mission is to obtain the recognition of everyone in fact, rather than the nominal recognition? So, if I lose the competition, but I get the title of the first warrior of Dayuan from other aspects, this task will not be possible.
Kublai Khan raised his hand above to stop everyone from arguing, and said to Fan Zhuoyuan with a smile: "General Fan's strength in all aspects, as well as his achievements in destroying the country, should be worthy of the title of the first warrior of the Great Yuan.
It's just a pity that we have to follow the rules in this competition after all, and the last burst of four arrows to break six targets is indeed amazing, and no one present is unconvinced.
But according to the rules of archery, General Fan cannot be judged to win, and the name of the first warrior of Mengyuan is still a pity after all, very regrettable. ”
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, if a southerner was allowed to obtain this name, then wouldn't the four sides of the world treat them as a joke?
Fan Zhuoyuan has reaped the greatest benefits, and he doesn't care about the false name given by the emperor, and he arches his hand and says: "The minister has not put this false name in his eyes, and the expansion of the territory is based on courage and strategy, and the governance of the country and the country is based on benevolence, righteousness and wisdom."
This so-called name of the first warrior can neither expand the territory nor govern the country, and it is meaningless to Weichen, but today's celebrations and various activities are a game, and it can be regarded as entertaining the ministers, so that everyone present can open their eyes. ”
Kublai Khan squinted slightly, unable to see where his joy and anger were, and smiled, "But General Fan is so brave, he should be paid, and he is praising his achievements in the streets today, how do you feel about the horses under his seat?" ”
Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes lit up, and he praised his achievements on the street today, riding a sweaty BMW from the middle of the West Asian River, with a much larger body than a Mongolian horse, strong feet, and a mighty posture, Fan Zhuoyuan really liked it very much.
"The sweat-blooded BMW is indeed a first-class famous horse in the world!"
Kublai Khan laughed, "Since that's the case, then give it to the Qing family!" ”
Fan Zhuoyuan was also not polite, and bowed in thanks.
After that, the banquet went on as usual, almost all night.
In the second half of the night, Kublai Khan was very tired, but when he left, he called Fan Zhuoyuan and Prime Minister Boyan over.
When he walked to a side hall, he suddenly turned around and retreated from irrelevant people, leaving only a few eunuchs who seemed to be quite strong in martial arts on his side, as well as Fan Zhuoyuan and Boyan.
"If it is decided today, even the Japanese country, which has killed the envoys of our dynasty many times, has been destroyed by General Fan, and the lord of the country has been captured in Dadu and no longer poses a threat.
But under this temple and in the rivers and lakes, there are all kinds of turbulence, secretly conspiring in tandem, intending to rebel. ”
Hearing the emperor's sudden change of words, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't know what he meant, so he could only bow down and listen.
Prime Minister Boyan said at this time: "Your Majesty is right, especially the Southern Vegetable Eating Demon Sect is the worst, and it has repeatedly killed officials and soldiers, but because it is tightly organized and hiding in the rivers and lakes, the imperial court cannot raise a large army to encircle and suppress it. ”
Kublai Khan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan and said, "The Vegetable Eating Demon Sect is the Ming Sect mentioned by the Qing family before, and its headquarters is the Manichaeism in the Hezhong region.
But Manichaeism has long since returned to the Yiner Khanate and does not dare to oppose this dynasty. This group of Middle-earth Ming Sects split out of it and specialized in rebellion.
I remember that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the south, and this Fang La was the original leader of the Ming Sect, which set off a lot of momentum, which made the Song court take a lot of effort to suppress it. ”
Fan Zhuoyuan said in his heart: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the stone people had one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel in the world, and the Ming Sect made a great effort in it, and they were all good men who expelled the Tartars and restored my China, but what is the point of you telling me this.
"There are many capable southerners in the court, but the Qing family is the only one who has both ability and force.
I want to make the Qing family go to the south of the Yangtze River, clear the troubles of Mingjiao, and then clean up the rivers and lakes, so that the people can restore peace.
Is the Qing family willing to receive the fate? ”
Fan Zhuoyuan was stunned, he actually wanted to go to Jiangnan to deal with Mingjiao by himself?
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the minister has a body of martial arts, but what he practices is the art of killing in battle formations, not stronger than the method of the rivers and lakes. ”
Kublai Khan's eyes were cold, but he smiled and said: "I'm afraid General Fan can't think about it, just half a month ago, your Fan family in Jiangnan was attacked by a large group of people in the rivers and lakes, including many Mingjiao bandits, and there were many casualties among the guards and servants at home, fortunately the nearby garrison rescued him, otherwise he would ......"
Fan Zhuoyuan looked up at Kublai Khan, his expression was stunned, "My Fan family is not from the rivers and lakes, why do you want to attack my family!" ”
Kublai Khan smiled, "So General Fan is willing to take this order?" ”
Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I can move me, but I can't move my family, Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”
"It's not a thorough investigation, remember, I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go! I want you to clear out the Mingjiao forces hidden in the people within a year, as well as many anti-Yuan related forces. ”
As he spoke, Kublai Khan looked at Prime Minister Boyan, "Prime Minister, you can directly connect with General Fan in this matter, and you, as his immediate boss, can set up a special organization for the forces of the rivers and lakes, and you can prepare for whatever support you need." ”
Boyan got up and bowed, looked at Fan Zhuoyuan and said, "General Fan, in the future, you are in the light, I am in the dark, what support do you want, here is the Jurchen-domesticated Hai Dongqing, you can pass the news to me."
I hope that with the cooperation of you and me, we can truly make the world peaceful, and the great yuan will be for generations! ”
Fan Zhuoyuan bowed down, but said in his heart: Hu has no luck for a hundred years, but he still thinks about thousands of generations? The imperial court wants me to exterminate the anti-Yuan forces in the rivers and lakes, and I will take one step at a time, but I should also take this opportunity to put forward my own requirements.
He saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to do his best for the imperial court, but there is a matter on the Japanese side that I still ask Your Majesty to permission." ”
Kublai Khan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan with deep eyes, and said suddenly, "Please speak." ”
"The 100,000 troops in Jiangnan have now completely reached the foundation, but they have been separated from their families for a long time.
I hope that Your Majesty will be gracious and will organize a fleet to send the soldiers to Japan, where they will multiply and live in peace of mind.
Only in this way can Japan truly be attached to the Celestial Empire and integrated into one. ”
