Zhu Han cleared his throat and interrupted their discussion.

"Ahem!"

"Okay, what people in the world care about is the erudition and wisdom of the saint. What is truly immortal is the wisdom left by the saint, not the so-called descendants of the saint from his unfilial descendants. Now whether Kong Kejian is fake or true,

Well, they have all gone to the Mongols anyway, and now the Kong family’s mansion belongs to the public!”

"I plan to set up the Confucius Museum in the front yard, and the school and dormitories of Shandong Imperial College in the back yard."

Zhu Han's words immediately caused all the officials to applaud and praise him.

"Your Highness cares about students and is the hope of all people!"

"Shandong is a land of saints and sages. With His Highness's support, I will definitely encourage the students to work hard."

"The prosperity of culture begins from here!"

…

Zhu Han never expected that Duke Yan Sheng's residence was so large in scale.

He originally thought that Yanshenggong's mansion was only thirty or fifty acres, which was considered very large. He never expected that it would be more than thirty or fifty acres, or even hundreds of acres.

It would be a serious waste if such a large area were used to build a Confucius Museum.

So he immediately decided to turn this place into the first new-style university in Shandong Province.

There is a huge flat space in front of the gate of the Kong family's mansion.

When Zhu Han led a group of officials here, he immediately felt something.

"It would be a pity if this place is empty. What do you think of the statue of the first Confucius sage here?" Zhu Han asked.

"A statue?"

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use clay puppets to replace sages?"

These officials who were scholars were all Confucian scholars, and they naturally agreed with the Confucian doctrine from the bottom of their hearts.

The Buddhist behavior of using clay statues to worship saints is considered unpopular in the eyes of scholars.

"You all don't understand. Many ordinary people have not read books, and they cannot understand the meaning of small words. If there is an inspiring statue of a sage here, as long as you come to this statue, you can feel the influence of Confucius.

Teaching, then wouldn’t it mean educating the people invisible?” Zhu Han immediately expressed his thoughts.

Tall and majestic buildings or statues can be spiritually impressive.

Since His Royal Highness the King had already made up his mind, the accompanying officials naturally said nothing more.

Everyone immediately agreed.

Zhu Han sent people to transfer a group of newly learned painting and sculpture talents from Nanjing Yingtianfu. These people were all Zhu Han's disciples and disciples, and they all studied the realistic painting and sculpture pioneered by Zhu Han.

Soon after, a sculpture more than ten meters high was erected here.

This sculpture of Confucius is pointing forward with a sword in one hand, and beckoning behind with a raised palm in the other hand. There are layers of bamboo slips under the feet. Stepping forward seems to be calling people to rush to the battlefield.

The statues of Confucius’ saints basically refer to the image of the motherland calling the Soviet Union in later generations.

"The saint is calling!"

Zhu Han couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he looked at the sculpture for which he had provided a sketch, and named it on the spot.

Zhu Han used patrol censorship in Shandong to combat local tyrants hunting for themselves. Later, he established a new image of Confucius and promoted the new Confucianism. The whole atmosphere of Shandong suddenly took on a new look.

In less than three months, the common people and scholars in Shandong strongly supported the Ming Dynasty.

Those local tyrants and evil gentry who still missed the benevolent rule of Meng Yuan naturally had no good results waiting for them. Zhu Han used the troops under Qi Xiang, the commander of Shandong Dusidu, to launch another round of attacks on these remaining local tyrants and evil gentry.

Not only did they confiscate their property, they also sent them all to Guangnan Road in Hunan and other places for military confinement.

Under the new atmosphere of the Qingming Dynasty, thousands of Shandong people and martyrs petitioned the British King Zhu Han for war. They wanted to immediately organize a Shandong rebel army to march to Dadu in the Northern Expedition to completely eliminate those hateful Mongols. These Shandong rebels

The people generously donated their money, and the news that an unprecedented number of people requested orders for the Northern Expedition to Dadu immediately spread like legs to Dadu, the capital of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

The entire metropolis was suddenly shaken inside and outside.

Inside the Great Yuan Palace.

Empress Dowager Dayuanqi immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to discuss countermeasures.

Now Empress Qi's concubine Wang Baobao is stationed in Liaoyang Province and is not in Dadu City, so Empress Dowager Qi herself is a little undecided about these matters.

"Now the Ming army is recruiting troops in Shandong with great fanfare. It may attack Dadu from the north at any time. Does any of you have a way to deal with the enemy? Tell me quickly!" Empress Dowager Qi said with an anxious look.

The group of civil and military officials from the Yuan Dynasty below suddenly looked at each other, and they had no good way to deal with the aggressive posture of the Ming army.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I feel that at this time, we should mobilize soldiers and horses from Huli Gaiwanhu and other places to go to Shandong to conquer these rebellions. As long as these rebellions are driven out of Shandong, we can further recover Henan and Guanzhong." One person remained.

The Mongolian nobleman with big braids suddenly spoke.

Regarding this suggestion made by the Mongolian general.

All the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty had sarcastic smiles in their hearts.

Even Empress Dowager Qi of Dayuan looked displeased after hearing this.

"Thousands of households in Huligai are full of wild Jurchens. If you want to come to the Central Plains to send troops to suppress the bandits, you must provide a large amount of food and grass as rewards. Now that the national treasury is almost empty, how can you make those Huligai wild Jurchens come to the Central Plains to attack the bandits?

?”

Empress Dowager Qi's words immediately made the Mongolian general speechless, unable to utter a single word of strategy.

"Your Majesty, now that the Han people are resurrected, there are millions of people. Such a large number of soldiers and horses is really beyond the hundreds of thousands of people in Mongolia who can compete. I think the best suggestion is to recruit Dadu, Liaoyang, Hebei, and Shanxi.

The population, treasure, and food must be moved northward to the grasslands!" At this time, another minister said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This minister is also a Mongolian, and his name is Saiyin Chi Dahu.

This Sai Yinchi is none other than Wang Baobao’s biological father.

If we were to count, this Sai Yinchi is still the father-in-law of the current Empress Dowager!

Therefore, Saiin's words were of great weight, and his words immediately received support from some civil and military officials.

Even Empress Dowager Qi agreed very much after hearing this.

"Wang Taibao once said before that he wanted Dayuan to preserve his strength and move to the Mobei grassland. At that time, the Ming army's attack was not so urgent. Now seeing Zhu Han's layout in Shandong, I'm afraid it won't be long before he attacks Dadu.

It seems that moving the capital to Mobei Grassland is imminent." Empress Dowager Qi said.

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense. The situation now is different from before. It is even more critical than before. If Mongolia does not preserve its strength, once the Ming army attacks Dadu, I am afraid it will be too late to leave by then. Even if

It can barely break through the siege, but it can't take away so many people, food and treasures." Saiyinchi Dahu said.

"But after all, the matter of moving the capital is of great importance. We still need to get a positive answer from Wang Taibao." Empress Dowager Qi finally said.

In today's Yuan Dynasty, only Wang Baobao has the most elite troops in his hands, and major affairs in the court cannot be implemented without Wang Baobao's consent.

Although Wang Baobao only had 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he was already the last main force of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.

So now throughout the Yuan Dynasty, even if there are any policy changes, Wang Baobao needs to be recognized.

Without the protection of Wang Baobao, these thousands of civil and military officials from Dadu rashly embarked on the journey north to the grasslands. They were afraid that they would be plundered by various tribes along the way before they could settle down on the grasslands.

After all, despite the hundreds of years since the founding of Mongolia, the grasslands are still fragmented. The leaders of the vassal tribes who stay on the grasslands often fight with each other. Once you see these Mongolians who have become seriously Chinese

The nobles came to the grassland with a large number of gold, silver, treasures, people and food, and there were not enough troops to protect them.

Various tribes will definitely pounce on them and eat them clean. No matter who you are, the Mongol Khan or the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, there are still many descendants of the Golden Family on the grassland. When the time comes, just pull one out as a pawn.

The Great Khan of Mongol is.

In fact, the most dangerous people are the bloodlines of the golden families on the grassland, that is, the Mongolian kings who have enfeoffed themselves on the grassland.

If these Mongolian princes who stayed on the grasslands killed the Emperor Aiyou and the Empress Dowager Qi, then they themselves could sit on the throne of the Mongol Khan.

Therefore, if most of the Mongolian nobles want to move north to the grasslands, they must be protected by Wang Baobao's soldiers and horses.

"Okay, that's the end of today's court meeting. You all can go your separate ways." Empress Dowager Qi waved her hand lazily.

"As ordered, I will leave!"

Saiyin Chidahu and other officials from the Great Yuan Dynasty immediately saluted and then exited the palace.

When the courtiers retreated, Empress Dowager Qi also stood up with a little effort.

He twisted his slightly fat figure and walked to the side hall.

Empress Dowager Qi took the pen and ink, wrote a secret letter with her own hands, and arranged for her confidant eunuchs to rush to Liaodong and deliver it to Wang Baobao.

The content of this letter is naturally to summon Wang Baobao to return to Dadu quickly to discuss the matter of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty moving the capital to Mobei Grassland. Without Wang Baobao, the Empress Dowager, to make the decision on such a big matter.

Although Wang Baobao is many years younger than Empress Dowager Qi, Wang Baobao's methods and abilities have already made it impossible for Empress Dowager Qi to leave Wang Baobao.

Queen Qi's secret letter was quickly handed over to Wang Baobao.

After Wang Baobao opened the letter, he was greatly surprised by the series of layouts of the Ming army in Shandong.

If we follow Zhu Han's layout in Shandong, it won't be long before Shandong becomes an important base for the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

If we use Shandong's food and grass population to carry out the Northern Expedition, there will not be much preparation time left for the Mongols.

"I originally thought that the Ming army wanted to use the food and grass population in the south of the Yangtze River as the basis for the Northern Expedition. Now it seems that they want to use the manpower and material resources in Shandong. So we really don't have much time to prepare."
