The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 394 Mongolia Notice

The voice just fell.I saw Pu Shougeng and Xiao Tian rushing in.Both of us knew about our trip to Longhu Mountain.But I went to the Valley of the Kings on the way.The round trip time has increased by more than a month.That's not what they know.because of this.It also made them anxious.

"I've seen your son."

"En. President Pu. Xiao Tian. Linger encountered a little trouble. He temporarily lost his memory. So you need to re-teach the work in the Red Society."

"Amnesia." A look of surprise flashed across Pu Shougeng's face.But it soon returned to normal.road. "Don't worry, my lord. Miss Fang is talented and intelligent. Just a little bit will make it clear."

Xiao Tian also said: "Yes. Don't worry, young master. In terms of talent, we think we are not as good as Miss Fang."

"En. I also believe that." I pointed at Lin Ying again. "President Pu. This Miss Lin Ying is my friend. From now on, I will follow Linger to work in the Red Society. Tomorrow, you will arrange specific affairs."

"Yes, my lord."

"Xiao Tian. I have roughly understood the current situation of Shifeng Trading Company. You have done a good job. You, Linger, and Miss Lin first talk about the situation of the Red Society. President Pu. Go to your room. I have something to see you."

In Pu Shougeng's house.I inquired about the export status of Quanzhou Pushi Commercial Bank and the entire Quanzhou Port in the past two months.Although Pu Shougeng said it very simply.But he also said happily: "Young master, the situation is very good. According to our estimates, the export volume of traditional goods will increase by about [-]% this year. And the orders for new goods are even more overwhelming. Many overseas businessmen even bring gold to Quanzhou Port and so on. The oldest order will be delivered in the middle of next year. What's more exciting is that the profit is also growing exponentially."

It will be New Years in two more months.Many long-distance sea ships will be out of service.Therefore, September and December are the peak seasons for export business in a year.It's December.There will be fewer ships going to sea.Most of the ships entering and leaving the port are from foreign countries.

"President Pu. Do you know the situation of the other two commercial ports?"

"My son. The same is true for Guangzhou Port and Mingzhou Port. Compared with last year, both have increased significantly. One word. 'Prosperous'."

"Well. Very good. Mr. Pu. Your credit. I will remember."

"Young master is a stranger. It is really a blessing for Pu to be appreciated by you. Although his subordinates are from the Western Regions, he grew up in the Song Dynasty since he was a child. He can be regarded as an out-and-out member of the Song Dynasty. He can be a son of the Song Dynasty." Effectiveness. The subordinates and the entire Ura family will do their best. Willingly."

Pu Shougeng's words expressed his surrender to me.As long as it is my Da Song.He will work.in other words.Pu Shougeng can be loyal to me.But not loyal to Song Dynasty.

For two months.It was the first time that Ningkun Palace was so lively.

Xie Daoqing wanted to catch the wind for me.Call all my concubines.A dozen or so people sat around a big stage lively and lively.Eating the feast prepared by Xie Daoqing.

We talked about homework.I said: "Mother, just as Zhao Kui said. The oldest group of ministers in the imperial court are contemporaries of Zhao Kui and He Ji. They are all in their [-]s. The backbone is the ministers of each department. Except Ma Tingluan and Liao Yingzhong Except for Fan Wenhuan. Jiang Wanli, Ye Mengding, Chen Zongli, Tang Han, Ma Guangzu, etc. are all in their seventies. So I plan to add an assistant minister to each ministry. While learning from veterans, I will assist them Do things. Queen Mother. Do you think it is feasible."

Xie Daoqing said: "Of course it is possible. People are getting old. Although they have more experience, their energy can't keep up. Today, the officials are making drastic changes in various government affairs in the court. Sometimes the elderly really can't react. It's like when the queen mother is reviewing the memorial. Many times she is not as fast as Jiu'er."

Quan Jiu said embarrassingly: "Queen Mother, you are very considerate. That's why it takes more time."

Xie Daoqing smiled and said, "Jiu'er. Didn't the officials say that time is life?"

Quan Jiu said: "I said it. Time is life. Efficiency is money."

"Officials. You are only in your 20s this year. There should be a group of people around your age. Otherwise, in another ten years or so. Ministers like Ye Mengding are all old people in their [-]s. How can you Doing things. What's more, the older people will accept new things much slower than the young people. Sometimes they will become the resistance for you to implement changes."

With the support of Xie Daoqing.I am more determined to promote young officials.

I nodded and said: "Mother, I will bring this matter to the agenda as soon as possible."

After dinner.I didn't make too many stops either.After all, there are still a lot of backlogged memorials in the imperial study room that need my instructions.

At the court meeting the next day.I paid tribute to all the ministers: "Dear dears. In the past month or so. Although I have not gone to court, the affairs of various ministries and divisions have progressed to varying degrees. It is not because I am not by your side to supervise. You just A little relaxation. This is a sign that officials are becoming mature. It is also a sign that the court is becoming more regular. I am very pleased about this. Today is mid-October. Seeing it. The year is coming to an end. The second year of Xianchun is A very critical year. This year not only continued the changes since the first year of Xianchun, but also the foundation of the third year of Xianchun. Because the end of the third year of Xianchun was the beginning of the Han-Mongolian War that I predicted. Although, the situation this year is gratifying. But it is urgent. Everyone must not relax. We must still maintain the current strong fighting spirit. Make persistent efforts. Draw a successful ending for the second year of Xianchun."

"Yes. Your Majesty. The ministers and others will follow His Majesty's will."

"Every dear dear. If you have a copy, please play it."

Lu Xiufu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have my own performance."

"please say."

"Your Majesty, I received news from the Mongolian side yesterday. On September 29, Kublai Khan officially announced the list of generals for Mongolia's Southern Expedition."

"Really. Read."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xiufu had a strong memory.He recited Kublai Khan's announcement word by word. "Kubla Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, announced to the world. The trend of the world. After a long time, it will be united. Today, the southern dynasty is exhausted. It is like an old man in the twilight. It is rotten. But my Mongolia is thriving. It is actually the sun in the morning. It is the destiny of heaven. The world will be unified. In order to realize the great cause of the unification of the north and the south at an early date. Ben Khan hereby appoints. Ashu is the marshal of the south. Zhenjin and Shi Tianze are the chief and deputy supervisors. Boyan, Zhang Rou, Ali Haiya, and Hedan are the deputy marshals. Dong Wenbing . Signed) is the Marching Army Division. Yao Shu is the Marching Counselor. Commanding the East, Central, and West armies. The total number of people is 50. Ready to go south to destroy the Song Dynasty at any time."

"50." Many ministers began to mutter.You must know that the Mongols attacked Song Dynasty twice before.At most, 20 horses will be sent.

"So many soldiers. A Shu, Zhang Hongfan, Boyan. Hehe. They are all famous Mongolian generals. Is this a demonstration?" I smiled. "Lu Aiqing. Hurry up and investigate the detailed information of these people. Also, who is the unsigned emperor teacher? It also needs to be investigated. It seems that a big war is coming."

"Yes. I obey the order." Lu Xiufu said.

but.There was another question in Lu Xiufu's mind.Why did His Majesty mention Boyan and Zhang Hongfan?Ah Shu is fine.When the Mongols conquered Dali ten years ago.Has shown outstanding military talent.But the other two appear to be less well-known in Mongolia.Far inferior to Zhang Rou, Dong Wenbing and others.

"Your Majesty, my minister Wen Tianxiang has a book to play." Wen Tianxiang came out and said. "Your Majesty. Mr. Zhao Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture, is on leave due to illness. He has also submitted his resignation letter. Please give instructions from Your Majesty."

"I already know about it. Yang Dong, Minister of Agriculture."

"The minister is here."

"Yang Dong. I order you to take the position of minister of the Ministry of Agriculture to temporarily act as Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture."

"Yes. Your Majesty. I obey the order."

"Okay, dear friends. Let me talk about the current Han and Mongolian situation again. Kublai Khan's open provocation. It shows that the war between Song and Mongolia is not far away. In the past one or two years, my dynasty has changed a lot. National strength Gradually recovering. At the same time. The Mongols are also changing the government. Kublai Khan reused a large number of Han people from the original Jin Kingdom. His national power has also exceeded the level before the Mongolian Khan struggle. At present, both Song and Mongolia are fighting for time. Both want to Accumulate enough financial and material resources before the outbreak of the war. Therefore, in the next year, everyone must be mentally prepared. This battle will definitely be a life-and-death battle between our dynasty and Mongolia. The confrontation between the North and the South will soon It is about to be broken. Kublai Khan of Mongolia will not allow the north and the south to coexist. Of course. Neither will I."

"Since Taizu Taizong laid down our Great Song Dynasty. It has been deeply watched by Liao, Jin, Xixia, and Mongolia. For 300 years. Most of the time. Our foreign policy is to adopt the way that peace is the most important. The result. The hostile country made great progress. Even more than 100 years ago, the small state of Jin actually occupied a large area of ​​our northern land. Although Gaozong crossed to the south, he saved half of our dynasty. But the shame of Jingkang has not been snowed yet. 30 years ago. The first emperor The Northern Expedition. Due to various reasons, it failed. Some people thought that the first emperor was too radical. He should not have confronted the powerful Mongolian cavalry. He also gave the Mongols an excuse to invade the south. After that, whether Duanping entered Luo was right or not. I The court has been arguing endlessly. I hereby make it clear that it is absolutely correct for Duanping to enter Luo itself."

I kept talking more and more.Continued: "At that time, the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed. Mongolia was not yet stable. It was a good opportunity to send troops. However, because of the court at that time, there were two opposite voices. The tactics formulated by the first emperor could not be implemented at all. The armies could not coordinate with each other. They did their own thing. There was also a shortage of logistical supplies. This was the root cause of the failure. In the next 30 years, the Mongols fought stronger and stronger. But our dynasty can only be trapped in a long-term passive defense. Many people in Mongolia think that it is only a matter of time before our dynasty is destroyed. Because. No fortress can guarantee that it will never be breached."
