Chapter 561: The Rise and Fall of the World (1)

Hearing Fang Zhixing's inquiry, Guo Poyu was a little silent. After a long while, he asked Fang Zhixing, "Master, can we really get rid of the Tartars? There are so many of them......

"There are only a few million Tartars, how many people are there? Look at the soldiers who are fighting now, how many of them are new annexes, these people saw that the Yuan Dynasty was powerful, so they went to take refuge, but they must not be of the same mind as the Tartars. Once the Tartars are in decline, they can still win them over if there are any more people to agitate for them. At that time, it will be the time for us to return to the Central Plains!" Before Guo Poyu finished speaking, Fang Zhixing interrupted his words and cut the railway. Liuqiu is the most lacking people, and has been recruiting displaced people from all over the coast over the years, but even so, there are now less than 100,000 households, and there are many natives among them. Seeing a big battle between the Meng Yuan Navy Division and the remnants of the Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people were dispatched, almost more than everyone on Liuqiu Island, and it was no wonder that Guo Poyu would be suspicious. Today's naval battles mainly rely on side battles, and the main competition is the strength of troops, although the warships and weapons of Liuqiu Island have some advantages under the efforts of Fang Zhixing and others, they are far from being able to make up for the gap in numbers. Compared with the Central Plains Imperial Court, Liuqiu Island, an overseas projectile land, is really too far behind, even if they have worked hard for more than ten years. Fang Zhixing also knew this, so while developing Liuqiu Island, he also asked people to organize a boxing club to encourage the anti-Mongolian and anti-Yuan struggle in the Central Plains and accelerate the decline of the Yuan Dynasty.

"When will this be?" Guo Poyu muttered, his tone a little incredulous. Today's Mengyuan Empire has just wiped out the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and its territory is unprecedented. It's hard to believe that he is in decline at this time. The rest of the ship heard this. The same is true.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing smiled slightly. Slowly pacing to the bow of the boat, looking at the sea in the distance, he asked Guo Poyu: "Polu, do you know how many years it has been since the founding of the Tartars?"

Guo Poyu was on his heels, heard Fang Zhixing's question, thought about it carefully, and replied: "It should be a few decades, if you count from the destruction of the Jin Kingdom." It's been forty-four years. "The Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and the Mongols became a dynasty that entered the Central Plains, which can be counted from this point on.

Fang Zhixing shook his head slightly, and said: "It shouldn't be counted from here, the foundation of the Tartar was laid down by Temujin, and it should be counted from him." It has been seventy-three years since Temujin became the Great Khan. Seventy-three years, only one year less than your father's age. When do you think the Tartars are coming to this day?"

"Seventy-three years ......" Guo Poyu said in a low voice, although he was not good at being quick and wise, but after all these years of experience, he could also hear the meaning of Fang Zhixing's words. said: "Master is saying that although the Mongol Empire is strong today, it has reached its peak. "People are over seventy, even if they are masters like Guo Jing. In recent years, his energy has also decreased compared with before, and Fang Zhixing used people as a metaphor. The implication is obvious.

"Wrong, today's Mongol Empire has actually declined, and it can even be said that it exists in name only!" Fang Zhixing shook his head.

Hearing this, Guo Poyu suddenly became confused and asked, "Master, please forgive the disciple for being stupid, the Tartar is now gaining momentum, how can it exist in name only?"

Fang Zhixing smiled faintly and asked Guo Poyu, "Do you know about the grassland today?"

"The matter of the grassland?" Guo Poyu said blankly: "The disciple doesn't know, and I ask the master to solve the doubts." "He has been busy with construction all these years, and he doesn't know much about the Central Plains, let alone the things on the grassland.

Seeing that this disciple was confused, Fang Zhixing sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't force it. Guo Poyu's talent is limited, and it is already the limit to be able to wholeheartedly open up and seek with the assistance of Fang Yuxia and others, let alone accurately see the general trend of the world. Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing suddenly thought of his grandson Guo Yue, now that this little guy is six years old, it is time to start cultivating. The expulsion of the Tartars depends on the young people.

Thinking in his heart, Fang Zhixing continued: "After Meng Ge's death, the newly elected Great Khan of the Khuritai Conference was Ali Buge, and later Kublai Khan led his army to the north and seized the position of the Great Khan of Ali Buge, and never held the Kuritai Conference after that, which can be said to have violated the rules since Temujin. Mongolia was a vast territory, and Temujin had divided his four sons before his death, but now for decades, these people have become very weak, except that they are all descendants of Temujin, and they are only barely maintained by the Kuritai Congress. Kublai Khan's abolition of the Kuritai Assembly can be said to have severed the last link between the Mongol kings, so the Mongol Empire can be said to exist in name only. What we are dealing with is nothing more than Kublai Khan's newly established Yuan Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Guo Poyu became a little more confused, and asked Fang Zhixing: "Master, the war in the Central Plains has always been presided over by Kublai Khan, and the Mongol Empire is divided, what does it have to do with us......?" Saying that, he suddenly remembered something in his heart, and exclaimed: "Could it be that they won't be able to fight?" But he suddenly remembered what Guo Jing had said about the almost big battle between Jochi and Chagatai.

"Haha!" Hearing this, Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "Of course there will be a fight." When Temujin was divided, Ogedai had the smallest place to inherit the throne of the Great Khan, and it would be nothing if his descendants had been the Great Khan, but it backfired, and Guiyou and Liemen were incompetent, and later let Tuolei's son Meng Ge become the Great Khan. In this way, in addition to having a large fief of their own, the descendants of Tuolei have also become the co-owners of the Tartars, while the descendants of Ogedai only have such a small fief, this contrast is so great, what do you say the descendants of Ogedai will think and do?"

"This ...... There should be a fight, right?" Guo Poyu said uncertainly. He originally thought that it might be the descendants of Jochi and Chagatai who were fighting, but he didn't expect that it was the descendants of Ogedai and Tulei who were going to fight, and it was really strange in his heart.

Fang Zhixing didn't know that Guo Poyu thought of it, nodded and said: "Of course the fight started, when Ali Buge and Kublai Khan fought, Ali Buge was supported by Wokotai's grandson Haidu, and later after Ali Buge's death, Haidu supported Meng Ge's son Siriji rebellion. Three years ago, Lin'an fell, and the Tartars could have calmed Jiangnan in one go, but Kublai Khan suddenly transferred Boyan to the north, is this why?"

"So that's it! So that's it!" Guo Poyu muttered. Four years ago, Boyan slaughtered Changzhou, Guo Jing and others were full of righteous indignation when they heard about it, and they wanted to assassinate this person, but at that time, Boyan had been in the army, but there was no chance. After capturing Lin'an, Boyan quickly went north, making everyone lose the opportunity. Now every time he mentions this matter, Guo Jing still sighs in his heart, Guo Poyu has heard a lot, and naturally remembers this matter clearly. (To be continued......)
