Chapter 606: Song of Righteousness (1)

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds.

The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star.

Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom......

The philosopher's day is far away, and the punishment is in the past.

The wind eaves show books and read, and the ancient road shines in color.

This is Wen Tianxiang's new work? Those remnants of the Southern Dynasty are also clamoring to release him because of this?" Two years ago, when Wen Tianxiang was captured in Dadu, Wang Jiweng, Xie Changyuan and others wanted to ask Kublai Khan to let him be a Taoist priest, but it was only because Liu Mengyan said, "Tianxiang is out, call Jiangnan again, and put my ten people in a place", this matter was put on hold.

"Your Majesty, someone proposed this, but it still needs to be decided by Your Majesty. In the hall, a minister replied.

Kublai Khan's face did not move, and he couldn't see whether he agreed or not, and after pondering for a while, he asked a person: "Last time, I ordered you to persuade Wen Tianxiang, but I don't know what the effect is?"

The man hesitated for a while, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister invited him as the prime minister as indicated by His Majesty, but Wen Tianxiang was still unwilling, and persuaded His Majesty to stop the crusade in the east and west, so as not to end up in the future." ”

Kublai Khan frowned, and suddenly said, "The prime minister doesn't want to do it, do you really want to release him?"

Hearing this, although the ministers in the palace were surprised, no one agreed. After a while, a minister said: "Your Majesty, Wen Tianxiang once raised troops in Jiangxi Province after escaping, but I am afraid that after he is released, there will be trouble, and please think twice." The rest of the crowd chimed in.

Kublai Khan, as a generation of heroes, has already made up his mind on this matter, and the reason why he said that he released Wen Tianxiang was just to test the ministers. Seeing them say this, he immediately relieved his heart and said, "Since this is the case, then let him continue to be locked up, and let Wang Jiweng and those people persuade him to surrender in a few days." ”

After the matter was decided, Kublai Khan continued: "The last time Fan Wenhu reported that he had captured Penghu, is there any news now?" At this time, it was already August of the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty, and more than a year had passed since Kublai Khan ordered the requisition of the Japanese to be changed to the conquest of the Japanese last year. In May, under the leadership of Azhuhan, Fan Wenhu and others, the Mengyuan sailors marched south from Quanzhou to Penghu. Unexpectedly, as soon as the advance fleet was dispatched at this time, Azhuhan suddenly fell ill and died, and Kublai Khan had to urgently order Atahai to take over and stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, Fan Wenhu had no choice but to lead the army because the advance fleet had already set off. On the second day after the series of "great wars", he finally conquered Penghu at the end of July, and waited for Atahai, which is what Kublai Khan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Fan said that the fleet had been rested and would continue the expedition to the east in a few days. As long as you can go to the island, with General Atahai here, you will be able to capture him!" replied one of the people in the palace. The Mongols are not proficient in sailors, but when it comes to land strength, it can be said that they are unmatched, and everyone has full confidence.

Kublai Khan was overjoyed, and shouted a few good words to calm the excitement in his heart. Thinking of Fang Zhixing's arrogance and the inferiority of the Quanzhen Sect, he couldn't hold back in his heart anymore, and ordered: "Spread the decree, five days later, I and the hundred officials will set up a battle in the Minzhong Temple, and burn all the apocryphal scriptures outside the Tao Te Ching in front of this temple, and congratulate General Fan for conquering the stream! Hahahaha!" (To be continued......
