Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 308 Private Soldiers
Li Qingwei said with a smile at this time: "Father, don't worry, a mere Kublai Khan is nothing, and Kublai Khan is not the only one in the Central Plains. Although the next successor of the Great Khan is most likely to be the Tuo Lei family, But he, Kublai, was not the only son of Tore Khan."

"Father can now safely and boldly expand and reorganize the army. Moreover, he can turn the soldiers who are not paid by the court into a strong army loyal to our Li family."

Hearing the second half of Li Qingwei's words, Li Qinglong was frightened into a cold sweat.

He said in horror: "My son, don't talk nonsense! What you said just now is a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the family." Li Qinglong winked at Li Qingwei, telling him to be careful of Su Yuan who was sitting next to Mrs. Liu.

Although Su Yuan is a good daughter-in-law who is filial to her parents-in-law, she is a Mongolian noble after all.

Although Liu Shi liked this daughter-in-law very much, Li Qinglong never really trusted her.

Not to mention a daughter-in-law, even his eldest wife, Li Qingan's biological mother, and his first wife, he never really trusted.

This is also the reason why the eldest lady was not favored back then, even though the eldest lady was fair and beautiful, and quite handsome.She also gave birth to two sons to Li Qinglong, but she was married by Wo Kuotai, and she was also from Semu.So Li Qinglong didn't trust her.

The eldest lady was like Su Yuan back then, she had no fault at all, she even defended her husband everywhere and took care of the family.But Li Qinglong was still on guard against her all the time.

Although Li Qinglong is a "traitor", he believes that "people who are not of my race must have a different heart".Therefore, he was much on guard against his eldest wife back then and his current daughter-in-law Su Yuan.

If it wasn't for inheriting the title and having to marry a Mongolian nobleman to maintain family stability, he would not let his son marry a Mongolian woman.

If it weren't for the love and harmony between Li Qingwei and Su Yuan, he, the father, would definitely make the decision himself and choose some Han women for Li Qingwei to marry.

Seeing Li Qingwei say such things in front of Su Yuan now, he was naturally afraid.

Li Qingwei said with a smile at this time: "Father, don't worry, this is what Empress Dowager Naima is happy to see, can't father see it? Empress Dowager Naima doesn't mind what methods we use, as long as we can contain Kublai Khan That’s fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t give my father such power as a Hanchen.”

"Now the Empress Dowager is in charge of the country. To be loyal to the Empress Dowager is to be loyal to the Great Mongol Empire. There is nothing wrong with us being loyal to the imperial court. Besides, if Kublai Khan dares to oppose the Queen Mother, he is against the Great Mongol Empire. He is a traitor. Qing Dynasty We are loyal to the Empress Dowager with a clear conscience."

Seeing Li Qingwei's self-justification of "converting black and white", Li Qinglong wiped the cold sweat off his face, and said, "Father naturally knows this. It's a felony just to keep private soldiers!"

Li Qing shook his head slightly and said: "This is the second advantage I mentioned. The second is that we can build a powerful army to serve us. As long as we have this private soldier, our right to speak will be even stronger. big."

"Right now, my father is just a governor. With the delegation of power by Empress Dowager Naima, my father can directly become a feudal town. If we are strong enough, Kublai Khan will not come to destroy us, but will come to win us over. Besides, we also There is no need to serve Kublai Khan."

"Father, don't forget that there is also a Mongolian prince Alibuge to the west of us, and Alibuge is loyal to Mengge. And I know that Mengge, Alibuge, and Kublai brothers have always met each other Discord, especially between Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, although I dare not say that the situation is the same, but they are also relatively opposite."

"Father can make two-handed preparations now. First, send a secret envoy to report to the Empress Dowager Naima. Tell her the old man that the three brothers, Kublai Khan, are at odds with each other, and then speak to her old man. We can use two peaches to kill three people. Win over Brother Meng and Brother Ali, and restrain Kublai Khan together."

"If my predictions are correct, then the Empress Dowager Naimazhen will gladly agree to father's advice, and then we will secretly inform Brother Alibu to board Mengge's boat. Even Kublai Khan would not dare to do anything to us So father can rest easy."

"To sum up, so my father can safely and boldly expand the army. There are three advantages of father's army expansion. First, we will not offend the Queen Mother Manaizhen, and it can also show our loyalty to the Great Mongol Empire. Second, we have obtained a pro-military force. With this With the support of relatives in hand, it can also be used as a bargaining chip in the future. The third father can actually control Luozhou, and he doesn’t have to look at anyone’s face. All he needs to do is to remain neutral and loyal to the new Mongolian Khan.”

Hearing Li Qingwei's thorough analysis, Li Qinglong nodded silently.Then he stood up and said, "Okay! Just follow what my son said, and obey the Queen Mother's edict."

Hearing that his father accepted his opinion, Li Qingwei said: "Father is wise."

In fact, Li Qingwei's analysis for Li Qinglong is simply nonsense, but Li Qingwei knows the history behind it. In history, after the death of Queen Mother Mazhen, Guiyou took power, and after Guiyou died, it was Meng Ge, and after Meng Ge died, it was Brother Alibu He fought against Kublai Khan for the position of Khan.In the end, Kublai Khan ascended to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

What he said was just to lie to his old father to expand the army, and to train a private army loyal to the Li family in advance, which would be the basis of his own rebellion in the future.

Now that Li Qingwei wants money but has no money, and soldiers but no soldiers, it will be difficult to get things done in a short while with a group of capable people and strangers in the rivers and lakes.

It is still possible for these people to make a surprise attack and take down a city as a base.

But the subsequent development, as well as the first counterattack against the Mongolian army, plus the later siege of the city, required a serious army, not a group of quacks.

The easiest way is to use the resources at hand.After all, his father is a very good pawn.

And this stupid trick of Empress Dowager Naima just gave him a chance. Now Li Qingwei feels that Empress Naimazhen deserves to be the woman who ruined the Mongol Empire.

Now the Li family can cultivate private soldiers openly, Li Qingwei calculated the time, and when he announced the rebellion, this army has gone through several years of training, although it can't be said that one can be as good as ten, but it is absolutely elite.

With this private soldier as the starting capital, these well-trained soldiers will be the backbone of the Tang army when they occupy the second capital in the future and expand the size of the army.

Thinking of this, Li Qingwei is really grateful to Empress Dowager Naima, if she sees her in the future, Li Qingwei will give her a few kowtows.

After discussing with Li Qingwei, Li Qinglong immediately went to write a secret book for Empress Dowager Naimazhen.
