Bala Tusi in the town of Heima River is building on a large scale.

The war, the displacement of the common people, and the windfall of the rulers, the smell of wine and meat in the Zhumen, and the freezing of bones on the road are not a strange thing in that dynasty. Bala Tusi, who made a fortune from the war, has been expanding his back garden these days, putting on a posture of taking root in the territory. In his eyes, the incomparably chaotic wood and stone were spliced into rockeries and stacked stones and towers and water pavilions according to the predetermined procedure.

In the huge back garden of Tusi Mansion, countless exquisite utensils, brocade, paper, spices and precious wood are piled up, and countless craftsmen are busy in the figure, according to the Jiangnan garden architecture and set up rockery stacked stones, buildings and water pavilions have begun to see the eyebrows, Bala Tusi is still idle and too slow to work.

His horse's hooves have been to the south of the Yangtze River, and his steel knife has cut off the heads of countless Han people, staining their robes with blood. But he was more interested in Jiangnan's exquisite architecture. "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can not remember Jiangnan. He doesn't fully understand Bai Juyi's "Remembering Jiangnan", but Jiangnan women and courtyard buildings are his favorite things, he wants to copy them, there is no shortage of fleeing builders during the war, he has money, what do you do with money.

In 1271, the Great Khanate of Mongolia was renamed the Great Yuan Kingdom, and Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Mongol Great Khan, wore the dragon robe of the Han emperor, and walked proudly in front of the bowing officials of the former Song Dynasty, pointing to the huge palace and asking: "What is such a big palace for?"

Someone immediately replied: "In 206 BC, when Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, a huge palace began to be built again in Xianyang. Liu Bang pretended to shirk, and Prime Minister Xiao He's reply was: 'The Son of Heaven takes the four seas as his home, and he is not magnificent. This means that it is not a question of treatment, it is a question of majesty. ”

Yuan Shizu laughed: "Yes, without this huge palace, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty would not be so corrupt, and between the dogs and horses, the fighting spirit will be lost, so that my Mongolian army will drive straight in, destroy the withering and decaying, and achieve the great cause of the millennium." ”

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, soon fell into the flowers and wine, the spring red sleeve door, and the sound of silence every night. The thousand-year-old cause he hoped for lasted only 11 emperors, 97 years. In 1368 AD, the peasant army led by Zhu Yuanzhang captured Nanjing, changed the name of the country to the Ming Dynasty, and officially established the Yuan Dynasty as the emperor, and then the Ming army went on a northern expedition and occupied the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. The rule of the Yuan Dynasty in China ended, and the Yuan regime retreated to Mobei and called the Northern Yuan. In 1402, the Yuan minister Gui Lichi usurped the throne and founded the state of Tatar, and the Northern Yuan died.

History is so cruel.

In the fourteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in the first month of 1277, the Yuan army was like a bamboo, attacking the city, the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, Bala, who had outstanding military exploits, returned to his hometown to become a Tusi, the Tusi Mansion was already very magnificent in his eyes, and the beauties who came from the south of the Yangtze River were not used to living in yurts, and they secretly wept in the south every night, and Bala decided to rebuild the Tusi Mansion completely in accordance with the architectural style of Jiangnan.

The strong laborers in the area around the Heima River were almost all concentrated in the Tusi Mansion, day and night, the soldiers were holding steel knives and leather whips to supervise the work, and the cold wind lingered like a ghost, mixed with the crackling sound of "cane punishment", and there was a salty smell of blood, constantly wafting into the inner room of the palace that had been completed. The ceiling is all decorated with wood carvings, the heart of the fan is pasted with blue gauze, the skirt and the frame are inlaid with cloisonné-style enamel, the white powder wall, and the furniture that exudes the fragrance of wood shows a bit of ordinary and simple scholarly temperament, which is incompatible with the vast grassland outside the courtyard, and the wind and sand dust soon sprinkled a layer of yellow dust on the white paper-made windows.

In the afternoon, Bala Toast, who had just woken up, sat in the living room, drinking milk tea, he was in his forties, fat head and big ears, wearing a robe, and a "corrugated hat" made of rattan on his head, and the jewels on the top were shining. Bala Tusi is a martial artist, with a Damascus scimitar on his waist, and he does not leave his body all the year round, and several Han maids stand on the side, their heads bowed, and they don't even dare to come out.

A sturdy Mongol walked in, and Bala raised his eyelids and said, "Steward China, is there something wrong?"

Chi Na means wolf, Mongols like to name it with the name of brave **, such as Bu Ri Gude is an eagle, Shaobu is a bird, and Bala is the meaning of a tiger, the absolute ruler, Chi Na is his most loyal eagle dog, tiger wolf is still good.

Chila bowed slightly and said, "Honorable master, he Saibainu (hello), there are two things, one is that the Xuanfu Division has come to urge the weapons to be transported, how do you think you should deal with it?"

Bala Tusi thought for a while and said: "The soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, and the weapons are suffering a lot of losses, so for the long-term peace and stability of my Great Yuan Kingdom, send all the ** in our arsenal, only you and a few ten-captains can wear this knife." ”

"But we don't have sharp weapons in our hands, and the swords of the Han people are just some inferior goods that can't be handled, and the soldiers are not easy to use. China replied with a sad face.

Bala Tusi smiled slightly: "The sharp knife must be aimed at a strong opponent in order to play its role, who are you using it to kill now? ”
