Chapter 158: Talking about Kublai Khan

"General Liu, the location of Funiu Mountain is very important. It is connected to Qinling Mountain in the west, Huo Mountain in the east, Luocheng in the north, Han River in the south, Xionger Mountain in the northwest, is a good strategic location. You can work hard here and use Funiu Mountain as the basis to create a new situation." Li Jun was very happy to assign tasks to Liu Hezi.

After receiving the order brought by Duan Ganmu, Liu Hezi discussed with Qingfengzi. The two agreed that if they could make a wedge in the Central Plains, it would be of great benefit to the Southern Song Dynasty. If this peasant team could be built into an important force, it would be extremely beneficial to the upcoming Northern Expedition and could completely strategically restrain the Mongols.

The two agreed, and the next thing would be much easier, which was how to strengthen the strength here. Qingfengzi put forward three suggestions: First, send someone to send intelligence to Jie Jin immediately, asking him to start from Hanzhong and increase the efforts of the eastward assault. Of course, the purpose was to restrain the Mongols' military forces so that they could not concentrate their troops to encircle this peasant team and gain enough time for their development and growth.

Second, Liu Hezi rushed to Funiu Mountain immediately and took over Li Jun to sit here. Because Li Jun has an extremely important mission, it is impossible to stay in Funiu Mountain for too long. It is a good thing to cut a wedge in the Central Plains, but it is not that important than returning to Lin'an to plan the Northern Expedition. Besides, Li Jun is the lord of the Nine Five. If he stayed in Funiu Mountain for too long and the news was leaked, the Mongols launched an attack on Funiu Mountain at any cost, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If the Mongols knew that he was on Funiu Mountain, there was no need to think that the Mongols would definitely mobilize a large army and fight against Funiu Mountain. In that case, Li Jun would be too dangerous.

Third, Liu Hezi will bring a group of military backbones who are extremely rich in military experience, absolutely loyal and reliable, able to endure hardships and become flexible. Because there are only a dozen guards who have truly experienced the baptism of war on Funiu, the need for military backbones is really urgent.

The reason why we have to work hard is that the struggle here will be very difficult. This is an activity in the Central Plains. To use an image example, it is to get into Princess Iron Fan's stomach. The degree of hardship can be imagined. If you cannot endure hardship, the problem will be very big.

Qingfengzi said the idea, and Liu Hezi also thought so, and agreed. He only added one thing, that is, he wanted to set off immediately. As for sending people to send letters to Jie Jin, the selection of military backbones can only be handed over to Qingfengzi. The selection of military backbones can be completed in batches, because even if it is selected, it is impossible to set off in central China. This is to go deep into the Central Plains. If you concentrate on the operation, the danger will be great, and you must be dispatched in batches. If you set out in batches, of course you can choose in batches.

The sooner Liu Hezi arrived at Funiu Mountain, the better. The sooner he arrived, the sooner Li Jun could return to Lin'an. Liu Hezi packed up and took more than a hundred officers with him and set off immediately. They did not attract attention and did not cause any trouble along the way. They rushed to Funiu Mountain soon.

To be honest, Li Jun had no choice but to enter Funiu Mountain. If Li Jun hadn't been able to bear to hang the people for the Mongols, he would have been ignorant and went back to Lin'an directly. He stayed in Funiu Mountain and could not prepare for the great cause of the Northern Expedition. The anxiety in his heart could not be described by his pen. As soon as Liu Hezi arrived, Li Jun immediately handed over to him and prepared to return to Lin'an to arrange more important things in comparison.

Liu Hezi was still full of energy and did not feel a little tired from the long journey. He said confidently: "Prince, please rest assured. I will build an elite army and insert a sharp sword into the Tartars' chest." As he said, if this matter develops well, it would be like stabbing the Mongols in the chest.

He paused and said, "Funiu Mountain and Xionger Mountain are adjacent to Guanzhong, and it is easier to get support from Guanzhong. I will move to Xionger Mountain by camera. With Funiu Mountain and Xionger Mountain as support, the Tatars will not be able to do not have any luck."

The current situation is very beneficial to the development of Funiu Mountain. The main reason is that it has not attracted the attention of the Mongolian leaders. The current Mongolian leaders only think it is a less important civil rebellion, so they sent several few armies to attack and defeated Li Jun.

However, with the loss of time and the victory of Liu Hezi and his friends in more and more battles, the Mongolian leaders will inevitably be alarmed, and the troops sent will inevitably be more and more. Li Jun is a person who thinks of everything and says, "General Liu, just fight with confidence. I will ask General Gundam, Zhang Shijie, Yue Liangchun and others to cooperate with you to take action."

Li Jun meant that Gundam, Zhang Shijie, Zhao Liangchun and others should maintain sufficient military pressure on the Mongols and drag down more troops of the Mongols. In that case, the Mongols would have fewer troops to join Funiu Mountain, which would be more beneficial to the development of Liuhezi.

This is indeed a good plan. Liu Hezi said happily: "The emperor will do it ingeniously. I dare not say anything else. I can guarantee the emperor that as long as the court attacks the north, I can definitely give the Tartars a hard knife."

This is full of confidence and makes people feel comfortable to listen to. Liu Hezi is resourceful, courageous, and has rich experience in fighting behind enemy lines. It is reassuring to have him in charge. Li Jun also said happily: "It's all for the general. I'll set off to return to Lin'an."

"You evil way, you are dead, you are dead." The ministers thought so in their hearts. They were right. They didn't even say that they killed the four beloved generals of Kublai Khan, but actually sent someone to send the head. This was a real demonstration that no one could bear. Not to mention that Kublai Khan's talent and a very high-profile person, he would inevitably regard such a thing as a great shame and a great humiliation. It was reasonable to cut off Master Yang Ming's head in anger.

Taoist Yang Ming had no fear at all. He looked at Kublai Khan quietly, looking at him, as if he had never seen the divine light in Kublai Khan's eyes. There were not only those who dared to look directly at the magnificent emperor like Kublai Khan, but there were very few. Taoist Yang Ming was one of them, and this alone was enough to be passed down through the ages.

Kublai Khan took a long breath, and the divine light in the tiger's eyes slowly faded away, which was very obvious. He had just heard that he was also excited. He had thought of killing Master Yang Ming, but in the end he overcame his emotions, and said to Master Yang Ming: "Mr. Zhao's gift, Kublai Khan accepted it. Please tell Mr. Zhao that Master Zhao very much, and Kublai Khan was very grateful to Mr. Zhao's kindness and did not let Boerhu, Shusuhuli, Wang Dechen, Mu Zhali and others expose the corpse in the wilderness. This is the supreme kindness."

He picked up a grass in the box and said, "This grass is grass on the Songfan prairie. Boer was suddenly buried in the grass. I feel very sad! Mr. Zhao can replace people with grass and give it to me. I cannot express my gratitude. Please tell Mr. Zhao that one day, I will give it to Mr. Zhao a generous gift for Mr. Zhao's work today."

At first glance, his words seemed to be giving gifts, but in fact he would also give Li Jun the same gift, that is, to chop off the head of the general of the Southern Song Dynasty to Li Jun. Under what circumstances can the head of the general of the Southern Song Dynasty be cut off? Needless to think about it, the answer is very obvious, that is, when Mongolia won a battle.

After speaking, tears shed from the tiger's eyes, wiped it with his left hand, and said softly: "Borhu, Shusuhuli, Muzhali, Wang Dechen." Although he was just chanting the names of the four people in a low voice, he did not say anything else, and he understood his intention very well, that was, the four generals died in battle, which made him very sad.

An emperor like Kublai Khan, who is a stubborn man, has a firm will and a hard heart. He either wants to make him cry or ask him to sigh, not to mention shed tears in front of his ministers and in front of the envoys of the enemy country. This is hard to imagine, but the facts are there and people cannot believe it.

According to normal ideas, Kublai Khan's actions would inevitably be punished by people and would say such things as he was incompetent. However, no one in the Golden Palace said such words. The ministers knelt down to Kublai Khan and said, "Master!" Then he cried and wet his clothes.

Kublai Khan cried in front of his ministers and in front of his envoys of the enemy, which only shows one problem, that is, he truly cherished his ministers and regarded them as brothers and relatives, rather than just ministers, nor was there anything more exciting than the tools for him to call and support him?

Not to mention that the ministers were moved, even Taoist Master Yang Ming was very moved and praised: "Your Majesty is kind! King Wen is just so kind to be respectful to the wise and the inferiors!" King Wen of Zhou respects the wise and the inferiors, and the beauty of the "Poems" and "Books" are praised throughout the ages. "All many scholars have achieved great success" praises King Wen of Zhou's virtues.

Kublai Khan cares about his ministers so much that he is not inferior to King Wen of Zhou!

"Thank you for your praise," Kublai Khan calmed down and asked, "How dare I ask the Taoist priest, how can I do?"

The real gold was caught by Xu Guanghan and others by chance, and they would have reported it to Kublai Khan to know. If Kublai Khan hadn't been stimulating now, he wouldn't have asked about this at this time. People like him, killing and decisive decisions were all decided with one thought. Not to mention catching real gold, even if he had more real gold, it would not have had much impact on his decision. There must be some impact, but it would not have been too much.

Like the performance of Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, was forced to be pretentious and had to be pretentious. After Liu Xiu's brother Liu Yin was killed, he was in crisis and could be killed at any time. He had no choice but to pretend that Liu Yin's death had nothing to do with him. In today's words, it was to clear his relationship with Liu Yin. However, when there was no one, he cried secretly, and the tears wet his pillowcase.

However, Kublai Khan is also a human being, he has emotions, he is also a father, and caring for his son is also a normal human being. If it were not forbidden, he would not have revealed his feelings for his son.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, your highness is good, not good either." Taoist Yang Ming said with a mysterious meaning.

Kublai Khan knew that he had something to say later, and said, "How do you say this?"

"Your Majesty, the wise king, should know my intention. I came here not to give gifts, not to your highness, but to the people of the Central Plains." Taoist Yang Ming said his intention straight and said, "If Your Majesty treats the people of the Central Plains well, your Highness will be very good. If Your Majesty does not treat the people of the Central Plains well, your Highness will be very bad." Kublai Khan revealed his true feelings, and Taoist Yang Ming would not go around in circles.

This is a very threatening word, and the meaning is very clear, that is, what kind of consequences will be for real gold? It depends on how Kublai Khan gives the price. If it is not given well, real gold will undoubtedly die.

Kublai Khan didn't understand the meaning of his words. He said, "You are threatening me. What I hate the most is to threaten people. Whether it is real gold or living, it will not shake my determination to destroy the Southern Dynasty." This was said loudly, and anyone who heard it would be moved.

He was a politician and would never shake his determination because the real gold fell into the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty. Li Jun had expected this, otherwise he would not be able to bear the praise of the general four-character genius.

"Your Majesty does not endanger the foundation of the country with family affection. I admire you." Master Yang Ming really admires Kublai Khan's handling. After a change of the subject, he said, "Your Majesty really forgets his affection, ruthless?"

Kublai Khan thought for a moment and said, "Who can be ruthless if a man is not a sage? I am not a plant and a tree, how can I forget my love? The real gold is my son, the past is, the present is, the future is still." This is a big truth full of emotion.

"Your Majesty now knows the pain of losing your son?" Master Yang Ming asked slowly.

Tears surged in Kublai Khan's eyes and said, "It hurts unstoppable! It's like digging out the flesh and digging the heart."

"Your Majesty knows that the pain of losing his son is unstoppable. Have you ever thought about it for the people of the Central Plains? How many relatives and friends have they died tragically under your iron hooves? Are their feelings a little worse than Your Majesty? Is it true that the true gold is the son of man, and the relatives and friends of the people of the Central Plains not the sons of man?" Taoist Master Yang Ming asked righteously and righteously: "Did the people of the Central Plains be born to trample on your iron hooves and ravage you?"

The Mongols did countless bad things in the Central Plains. Master Yang Ming knew the difficulties of life in the Central Plains. The more he spoke, he became more and more excited. The divine light flashed in the tiger's eyes and looked at Kublai Khan with bright eyes.

Looking directly at Kublai Khan was a serious crime, and the ministers were angry and all rebuked them, saying, "Stop talking!"

The ministers were asking the Jin Palace warrior to take down Taoist Yang Ming, but Kublai Khan waved his hand and asked them not to say anything again. He stood up and bowed to Taoist Yang Ming deeply, saying, "I thank Taoist Master Jin and Yu for his words! Taoist Master is right, the people of the Central Plains are human beings, and they should live like human beings and live the life that people should live. 'In the world, are all kings, and guests who lead the land, and are kings and ministers', whether they are Han or Mongolians, they are all subjects of my Dayuan, and they should be treated equally."

Facing the ministers, he said, "Transfer my will: Anyone who dares to kill innocent people will be exiled if they are less likely to be killed, and those who are more likely to be killed without mercy, and the family will be confiscated and the family will be destroyed!" This was said no different from his usual orders, but Master Yang Ming heard the firm meaning in his words: There is no change!

This decree is tantamount to depriving some of the privileges of the Mongolian nobles. They can no longer do anything arbitrarily. Most of the ministers were Mongolians, and they were very reluctant. However, Kublai Khan's determination was already made and could not be changed, so he had to receive the decree. The Han court officials who were looked down upon by the Mongolian nobles all day long, even bullied and suppressed were very happy. They finally received much less anger.

Master Yang Ming was extremely talented and learned. He did not expect that Kublai Khan would act so vigorously and immediately issued an order to eliminate this tyranny. When he thought about it, he had to admire his courage.

Kublai Khan continued: "Transfer my will: Wuhalie's family and tribe members will be all exiled. All the property of the family will be confiscated."

Wuhalie was the culprit of the Hangu Pass bloody case. He himself had already skinned Liu Hezi. Oh, no, the human skin was actually eaten by the angry people before it was finished. Kublai Khan would not know about the Hangu Pass tragedy. This way, it was like demonstrating to the ministers, meaning that if they dared not to obey the order, Wuhalie was your role model.

Kublai Khan's handling of this was actually a continuation of his political ideal "rule of the Han territory with the Han Dynasty". Under his implementation, the Mongols restrained their efforts in treating the people of the Central Plains. I don't know how many people survived due to this will, and how many people suffered less.

This is a great thing of supreme merit!

Regarding this matter, Li Jun said: "Kublai's decree is like giving the people of the Central Plains amulet. Although it cannot be 100% effective, it may be less than 30% effective. It is determined to protect many people. It can do this. The purpose of my mission to send Taoist Yang Ming to Mongolia has been achieved.

"The primary task of the Northern Expedition is to deploy a large army to the north, not to plan how to defeat the Mongols, but to protect the people. The Mongols are particularly good at destroying. If they endanger the people desperately after they were defeated, burning, killing, looting, even if we recover the Central Plains, it would be a desolate scene. This cost is too great to bear."

Finally, Li Jun concluded with a philosophical saying: "It is a stupid thing to pin your hopes on the enemy! We still have to rely on ourselves to protect the people, and we still have a lot to do!"

Li Jun is right, it is absolutely stupid to put such important things on Kublai Khan. Because even if Kublai Khan is unwilling to hurt the people, it is hard to guarantee that his ministers will not do anything to hurt the people on his back? Besides, once the Mongols are defeated in the Central Plains War, their military discipline will be dispersed and the military orders will not exist, and Kublai Khan's imperial edict will inevitably be thrown out of the clouds.

In that kind of defeat, not to mention that Kublai Khan's will is useless, even Genghis Khan's orders are useless.

Facts have also proved that Kublai Khan's will still play a significant role in protecting the people of the Central Plains. Therefore, Li Jun said: "We should do everything that can protect the people, even if it is a little bit, we cannot miss it!"

Kublai Khan looked back at Master Yang Ming, with an inquiry in his eyes, which meant: "Can real gold be safe if you do this?"

Master Yang Ming shook his head slowly, meaning that it was not enough.

"Give your conditions." Kublai Khan sat down and warned Master Yang Ming: "Don't have too much appetite, you must know how to stop when you are enough." His tone was very bad. He meant, "My patience is also limited, you can't ask for a price all over the place."
