In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 521: Stop resisting
After Meng Zhijing's death, the emperor's eldest son, King Zhao Qi of Han, also came to Palembang. The accompanying officials also included the governor of Borneo Province, Emperor Zhao Yurui's brother-in-law Qin Chen, the envoy of Xinma Province, the new governor of Palembang Prefecture, and many other places. officials.

This time the imperial court wanted to establish a new province in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. The newly appointed envoys and prefects of various prefectures had arrived in Borneo two months ago and have been waiting in Borneo Province.

Now that the Song army has pacified Palembang and occupied the city of Johor Bahru, the corresponding officials must be in place immediately.

Zhao Qi and Yu Rusun (son of Yu Jie), the envoy of Xinma Province, were looking for a suitable place for the capital city of Xinma Province.

In recent years, Zhao Yurui began to gradually transfer the sons and grandsons of military chiefs, including Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Wang Jian, Liu Zheng and other generals, to civilian officials.

In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, the sons of military officers were usually military generals, and the sons of civil officials were usually civil officials.

Now Zhao and Rui are going the other way around. Some of the sons of military attachés will become civilian officials, and some of the sons of civilian officials will become military attachés.

In this way, everyone can be trained, and they must be both civil and military, while appropriately suppressing the military power of the military leaders.

Yu Jie was still very miserable in history. He made great achievements in stationing in Sichuan and built a defense line with Diaoyu City and other fortress mountain cities as the core. He swore that as long as the court gave him ten years, he could regain the entire Sichuan and return it to the court.

However, he offended Yao Shi'an and was impeached by Uncle Xie Fang. At this time, Yu Jie was seriously ill, but Song Lizong issued two edicts in succession asking him to return to Beijing. Yu Jie was filled with grief and anger, and simply committed suicide by taking poison.

"Educated rich people and gentry officials are good at communication, able to coordinate vertically and horizontally, and know how to advance and retreat. They can also inspire people and carry out propaganda. If they have money and resources, they can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhao Qi was puzzled: "Since they surrendered, they are all the people of the Song Dynasty. Why do we have to kill them all?"

Then he added: "We didn't kill him, we let the poor people in the city kill Srivijaya. They are very enthusiastic about killing rich people."

"So people like this must be killed. Kill them all, leaving only the poor and illiterate people."

"His Majesty once said that in order to conquer a nation, one must destroy its writing, destroy its culture, cut off its language, and exterminate its noble gentry."

"Kill" followed someone's command, and with a bang, heads were rolling around the scene, and blood was splattered all around.

Zhao Qi was silent when he heard this. He was kind-hearted and obviously did not agree with his father Zhao Yurui's cruel approach.

Zhao Qi was stunned and couldn't help but turn around and ask Meng Zhijing: "Is this - killing surrender?"

"For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the Yellow Turbans in the late Han Dynasty and others."

"Not to mention Xiang Yu and others, Liu Bang was also an official when he was a pavilion leader, and his father-in-law was a local squire. Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others were either county officials or descendants of the Six Kingdoms."

Yu Rushun explained: "Your Highness."

"Of these four things, being a noble gentry is the most important."

After Zhao Qi came ashore that day, he happened to see a large number of Srivijaya people being pulled out outside Palembang City, and then a group of Srivijaya people wearing Song Dynasty commoners appeared.

"Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. It treated the descendants of the six kingdoms well, but in the end those who rebelled were mostly the descendants of the six kingdoms and the noble gentry."

"Those at the bottom who have no culture and class seldom rebel successfully."

Meng Zhijing was stunned for a moment and glanced at Yu Rushun subconsciously.

Now that history has been changed by Zhao and Rui, Yu Rushun is still called Yu Rushun. This time he was promoted to the provincial envoy of Singapore and Malaysia. He accompanied Zhao Qi, King of Han, to choose the location of the provincial capital. His contemporary Jia Sidao is currently the president of a local bank. , every day I have a headache how to borrow money and make money for the court.

He had a son and a daughter. The son's name was Yu Rushun, which originally meant "having a son like Sun Zhongmou." Someone in the court made a fuss about this name, saying that he had evil intentions. They also said that Yu Jie was corrupt, perverted the law, and confiscated the family property. How much money was copied, Yu Rushun was forced to collect 3,000 guan. It took several years for Yu Rushun to collect enough 3,000 guan, and he changed his name to Yu Shizhong, but he was still killed by Jia Sidao.

"Then we will teach them Chinese and teach them Chinese characters. After a few years or decades, they will truly become our Song Dynasty people."

Meng Zhijing said: "Those who were killed were the wealthy households in the city, scholars, gentry, lords and the like."

"Although these people can be successful for a while, they will eventually fail. Those who achieve the fruits of success must be the descendants of nobles or gentry and officials."

There are also good people among businessmen, officials, and gentry, and not all of them are corrupt officials or profiteers and bullies.

Looking at his expression, Yu Rushun knew that he did not agree with Emperor Zhao Yurui's actions and was worried about him.

At that moment, he said patiently: "We in the Song Dynasty have always been a country of etiquette, and some ethnic groups are barbaric and cruel."

"We civilized people rule everywhere and usually do not kill everyone."

"If those barbarians are given the power, they will not hesitate to kill anyone they see as alien."

"When Your Highness comes to places in Central Asia and Europe, you will be able to understand His Majesty's intentions."

Seeing this, Meng Zhijing quickly changed the subject: "According to His Highness and the remaining officials, can Palembang be the provincial capital of Singapore and Malaysia?"

When Zhao Qi heard this, he shook his head and changed the subject: "Father gave us three choices."

“Lion City (Singapore), Palembang, Malacca City.”

Among them, Malacca City has not yet been built. Zhao Yurui's intention is to build Malacca City in the narrowest part of the Malacca Strait so that the forts on both sides can block the sea.

Zhao Qi planned to look over one by one.

The territory of Singapore and Malaysia will in the future include the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java Island (India), and all nearby small islands.

As a provincial capital, it is best to be in a strategic location, with a large population nearby, and to be able to station a large number of troops and be able to radiate to other places at any time.

To be honest, these three places are all good. Kuala Lumpur, the Malay capital of later generations, was not as good as these three places in Zhao Yurui's eyes.

Because Zhao Yurui has to consider controlling the entire Yinni territory later.

Zhao Qi said at this time: "Bring the map and take a look."

Soon a guard took a nearby map, which looked relatively new.

"Is this Java?" Zhao Qi saw that Java Island is relatively long from east to west. The easternmost part is far away from Palembang and Lion City, and even further away from Malacca.

"The Xinhasali Dynasty over there is now, wait until we finish repairing Srivijaya before we deal with them." Meng Zhijing said.

"How far east is Palembang from them?"

"About three thousand miles."

“How far is Palembang from Malacca?”

"About more than a thousand miles." "What is this piece above?" Zhao Qi pointed to the easternmost part of Java, which was later known as Sulawesi Island.

"Now it is the same as Hanzhou. There is no dynasty and they are all indigenous people. The Xinhesali Dynasty calls them Toala people. There are many small islands around and are rich in spices. The indigenous people often trade with the people of the Xinhesali Dynasty."

The Bugis and Makassar people did not establish a kingdom on this island until around the 15th and 16th centuries. It is now in the savage age, but they will grow spices and then exchange some living goods with the people of the Xinhasali Dynasty, and there is no currency and own text.

This place is further away from Palembang, and Zhao Yurui's request is to conquer this place in the future.

In later generations, there were nearly 20 million people here, which shows that the island is rich in biological resources and suitable for survival.

"I feel that Palembang is good. It can radiate in all directions and is located among the four places." Zhao Qi said at this time.

He looked at the map and found that if the capital of Singapore and Malaysia was Lion City or Malacca, it would be too far away from Java and Sulawesi.

Moreover, Malacca is not even a complete city at the moment, and the Lion City is also being built. Palembang has been the capital of Sriwijaya, and later the capital of other kingdoms. The city has complete buildings, and its geographical location can control all directions. The troops coming out of Palembang, Whether it's to Malacca or Java, it's very fast.

More importantly, most of Srivijaya's population is concentrated in Sumatra. The Song army set the capital of Singapore and Malaysia in Palembang, making it easier to obtain population resources.

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, Meng Zhijing and Yu Rushun nodded at the same time: "What His Highness said is true, and we mean the same."

Therefore, the Song Dynasty decided to locate the provincial capital of Singapore and Malaysia in Palembang, and the envoys were located in Palembang. However, the provincial capital of Singapore and Malaysia was planned to be located in Malacca, and the city of Malacca was built there to guard the Strait of Malacca.

The navy is divided into three parts, one is in Malacca, one is in Palembang, and the other will be in East Java, and may go to Sulawesi in the future.

Zhao Qi reported the report to Lin'an that night and stated his opinions to his father Zhao Yurui.

The capital is Palembang, and there are Shicheng Prefecture, Johor Bahru Prefecture, Malacca Prefecture, Jambi Prefecture, etc. There are five prefectures and twelve prefectures in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. The army requires two infantry and cavalry armies (12,000 people). , two naval corps (12,000 men).

According to early estimates by the Song Army, the local Srivijaya Kingdom, Xinhasali Dynasty, and the indigenous people of each island combined had more than one million people.

More than 20,000 troops are needed to conquer these areas.

Emperor Zhao Yurui's reply came back to Palembang about six months later, which was relatively fast.

Zhao Yurui said that after conquering the two places, he killed all the noble lords, wealthy and educated businessmen of the two countries, and then immigrated some people from Srivijaya to the Xinhali Dynasty, and moved all the people from the Xinhali Dynasty to Some people moved to Srivijaya to let the people from both sides live together, and choose trustworthy people among them, so that they could compete with each other to express themselves in front of the Song people.

The cultures and languages ​​of both countries will be extinct, and in ten years, everyone will only be able to speak Chinese.
-
Just when the emperor's eldest son, the King of Han, was trying his best to conquer Xinma Province, thousands of miles away, on the bank of the Ishim River, in a series of Mongolian palace tents, the Great Mongolian Regent Queen Torregona had a gloomy face, and her eyes were full of panic.

The competition for the Han throne in Mongolia has become somewhat clear. Meng Ge swept away the small Ayush dynasty and captured Damascus with overwhelming force. While Meng Ge began to run Damascus, Guyuk on the other side was still besieging the Lupini dynasty. The final capital.

The Mongolian army drove trebuchets around them and bombed them indiscriminately. The resistance in the city was fierce, because this was the last city in Lupini. Once the city was broken, it would mean the destruction of the country.

Guyu had not been defeated after ten days of fighting, but Meng Ge had returned to Rai City.

With the same force, Meng Ge used less time to gain more territory, and also occupied Damascus, which was extremely important at this time.

Batu immediately raised the issue and appointed Meng Ge as the Great Khan in accordance with the regulations.

Guyu was still fighting Lubini, but Batu had already proposed to make Meng Ge the Great Khan.

Sajisi Buhua stood quietly behind Torrege, his eyes turning around from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before Wokuotai's death, he had expressed his willingness to be loyal to her and Guyu to Torrego, which was equivalent to standing on the side of supporting Guyu. Unexpectedly, Meng Ge suddenly exerted his strength recently, and the situation seemed to have changed.

But he had no choice. Like Kuduhu, he was a member of Wo Kuotai's bodyguards, and he was imprinted with the Wo Kuotai family. Apart from choosing Guiyu, what else could he do? Brother Meng wouldn't need them. .

In the past year, under the regency of Tolegena, the situation in Great Mongolia has been a little better. Meng Ge and Guiyu have fought in all directions and gained a lot of territory. Now it is related to the battle for the throne, and I am afraid there will be chaos again.

The current situation is completely different from that of Tolei and Wokuotai back then.

At that time, Temujin designated Wokuotai, and it was difficult to grab the tow mine openly, so he could only rely on the general meeting to choose.

This time Wokuotai designated the seven or eight-year-old Shi Liemen, and everyone was opposed to it. This meant that others had a chance.

While Sajisi Buhua was deep in thought, someone heard a voice from outside: "Report, Oduraheman is here."

Sajisi was stunned for a moment. This guy was originally a businessman. Because he helped Wo Kuotai do business, he gained the trust of Wo Kuotai and Turegona. He is currently in charge of the copper mine together with Yelu Chucai's son Yelu Zhu.

What are you doing here?
After a while, Odura Heman came in from the door. He looked like a businessman. When he came in, he knelt down in front of Tolegona: "Dear Queen Naimazhen, your most loyal servant Odura Greetings to you, Heman."

Like a humble servant, he fell at Torregona's feet.

Sarges Buhua felt like he was a dog, his eyes full of disdain.

"Get up, I heard that you have something very important to report to me." Brother Tre said a little absent-mindedly.

All she could think about now was the battle between her son Guiyou and Meng Ge. If Odu Laheman hadn't said it was important, she wouldn't have bothered to summon him.

"Uh." Odu Laheman raised his head and glanced at Sajisi Buhua.

There were only three of them in the palace tent, and Oduraheman seemed to want to talk to Tregena alone.

But now was the time to recruit people. Tuolegena wanted to win over Gongjisibuhua, and he didn't expect Aodulaheman to say something important, so he said, "Sajisibuhua is one of us, just tell me what you want to say."

As expected, Sajisi Buhua had a look of satisfaction on his face, straightened his chest, and stood up straighter.

During this period of time when Turegona was regent, he did not take Kuduhu with him. He took him with him every day as a guard. Sajisi was quite happy without spending any time.

In the past, Wokuotai used Kuduhu more seriously, but now Tolegena seems to use him more seriously.

Odurahe had no choice but to hesitate on the spot for a moment, then looked back at the palace gate.

"It's Atuo outside, and he's one of our own." Brother Tuo was a little impatient, so just say what you have to say.

A'tuo is actually Kuduhu's personal guard, and of course he is now being won over by Tolegena.

Only then did Odu Laheman step forward, lower his voice, and said in a very small voice: "Meng Ge will return to the army victoriously soon, and the battle for the Khan's throne is urgent. Please make a decision quickly, Queen."

The expressions of the two people in the palace tent suddenly changed.
