Chapter 1012 Workaround

If Zhao Bing was close at this time, after listening to Yue Chi Cha'er's analysis, he would definitely regard him as a confidant. He thought that the reason why the Song Dynasty did not take advantage of the victory of the water war was mainly due to the shortage of money and food. The main reason was that the Southern Dynasties strictly prohibited the army from garrisoning farms, and all expenses were allocated by the court. The Song army, not the Mongolian army, only had to carry a few food and grass in the war, and most of them were solved on the spot, which led to huge expenses of the Song army.

Yue Chi Cha'er estimated that even if the Song Dynasty maintained its army on weekdays, it would take more than 300,000 guan a day, and would require tens of millions of military expenditure a year. If it would be doubled at least during war, it would require 20 million guan, and it would increase exponentially according to the scale and intensity of the battle. This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty did not launch a large-scale war after regaining Jiangnan. He thought that in addition to stabilizing the court, the Southern Dynasties were to recuperate and accumulate money and food.

"Do you think the Southern Dynasty was unable to launch the Northern Expedition in recent years?" This was the first time Zhen Jin heard this and felt very novel and excited. He walked forward and asked.

"Khan, this is exactly what I mean. Therefore, there is no need to rush to build river defense like Boyan, but to slowly plan it, that is, to avoid stimulating the frequent use of troops in the Southern Dynasty, and to take the opportunity to gradually complete the river defense gradually. In this way, the fiscal and taxation of the two Huai Rivers can be used to invest in the river defense project year by year, and alleviate the financial pressure of the court." Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"Well, that's right. In this way, the ministers in the court have no excuse to impeach Boyan and calm the storm!" Zhen Jin thought about it and thought it was right, so he grabbed another piece of meat and said while eating it.

"I'm afraid it's hard to be like a sweat!" Yue Chi Cha'er shook her head and threw a piece of bone that had removed the flesh aside and said.

"Why is this?" Zhenvin's smile just now froze and asked in surprise.

"Khan, the Han ministers and the Mongolian generals in the court jointly impeached Boyan. It seemed to be because of the construction of the city defense, but in fact it was just an excuse. They wanted to drive Boyan out of the court because of their original intention." Yue Chi Cha'er put the meat on the fire and roasted it.

"They want to expel Boyan from the court? He is proficient in Han laws, supports the use of many Han ministers, and has outstanding military achievements. He has great prestige in Mongolia and Semin. You said that both of them will expel him from the court, so how is this possible!" Zhen Jin shook his head and said indifferently.

"The Khan is actually because of his reputation. Although Boyan supports Han Law, in the eyes of those Han ministers, he is still a person of semen, not as one with them, and is deeply favored by the Khan. Once he submits a memorial to abolish Han Law, he will fail. On the other hand, the Mongolian generals admire his military achievements, but are very dissatisfied with his support for Han Law, thinking that he has betrayed the tradition and suppressed the old sects, so he also wants to drive him out of the court." Yue Chi Cha'er smiled.

"So that's how they are. Boyan is now the pillar of the country. If they succeed, they will be like my right-hand man. They have to be controlled by them. They can't follow their wishes right now." Zhen Jin took a sip of wine and put the bowl on the table and said angrily. Looking at the sizzling meat that was roasted on the fire, he felt as if it was himself.

"Khan, the current situation is fierce, so you should not force yourself. This is afraid that the two parties will merge, and it will be even more difficult to deal with." Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"Will I dismiss Boyan be dismissed according to their wishes? I would never do that." Zhen Jin said decisively.

"Khan, I don't mean this, but I can change my method!" Yue Chicha'er said calmly to the angry Khan, "At present, the princes of Khan have all grown up, and the sea in the northwest are in chaos recently. Khan is sending a prince to pacify the army and sending an important official to help him!"

"..." Zhen Jin did not answer immediately after hearing this, but fell into deep thought. He knew that after the Alibu Ge Rebellion was put down, Haidu had emerged. After he openly raised the banner against the Yuan Dynasty a few years ago, he cooperated with the Mongolian kings who were in power in the northwest of Kublai Khan, who repeatedly invaded the northwest border areas of the Yuan Dynasty, almost subverting the Yuan Dynasty's rule in Turpan and Gaochang areas.

Hai was the grandson of Ogedei, the second Khan of the Mongolian Empire, but his father died very early. His father's early death may be a good thing for Hai, which allowed him to survive the great purge against Ogedei and Chaga Taiwan princes after Mengge succeeded to the throne and become the Mongolian Khan. He has been silently accumulating strength to seek revenge. But it is very difficult to get back without anyone taking care of him.

Haidu could only barely collect thousands of troops from the Ogedei tribes scattered everywhere, and struggled to survive between the Chincha Khanate established by the Prince of the Shuchi and the Mongolian royal court controlled by the Prince of the Mongke. It was not until the dispute between Alibuge and Kublai Khan broke out within the Mongke tribe that Haidu had room for development and growth. The Mongolian prince, who had been tolerant for a long time, seized the opportunity to support Alibuge who opposed Kublai Khan and established the Ogedei Khanate in one fell swoop.

The Ogedei Khanate in Haidu was mainly distributed between the Khonchar Khanate in the West, the Il Khanate and the Yuan Dynasty. His rebellion prevented the envoys of the court from conveying the Khan's will smoothly, which made the Mongolian Khanate, which was established after three generations of war, seem a bit untrue. In order to eliminate this stubborn enemy stuck in the arteries of East and Central Asia, Kublai Khan spent a lot of effort. However, the Mongol Empire, which gradually entered the transition period, showed many discomforts that were not originally encountered when facing his former companions.

The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to the rise of the Ogedei Khanate. During the reign of Kublai Khan, famous officials such as Prime Minister Boyan and Taishi Yusuthetimur were sent out to the northwest of the town. With their superior forces, they continued to fight back against the attack of Haidu. However, until Kublai Khan's death, the two armies were still repeatedly tug-of-war between the Tianshan South Road and the Ogedei Khanate, and they were unable to completely wipe out it.

It seems that the Ogedei Khanate in Haidu cannot be compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, whether in terms of population, army or economic scale, but it dared to repeatedly attack the border prefectures and counties of the Yuan Dynasty for ten years, mainly for two reasons:

Haidu himself was smart and capable, and was good at uniting and joining the border. He called on the oath of all the sects of the sects of the Ogedei-Mongol Khan on the day of the ascension of the throne of all the sects, "As long as they came out of the descendants of Ogedei-Hohan, even if they were just a piece of meat, we still had to accept him as the Khan." He soon received support from many Mongolian nobles who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ir Khanate. Haidu also interfered in the affairs of the Chaga-Taiwan Khanate, established a relatively stable alliance with the two generations of Chaga-Taiwan Khan, and controlled the core areas of Central Asia.

On the surface, the Khanate of the Khanate respected the Yuan Dynasty's edict, but in fact, it secretly assisted Haidu to strengthen to restrain the Yuan Dynasty and the Il Khanate and create favorable conditions for its further expansion of the territory of the Il Khanate. After Kublai Khan failed in the war, the Chagatai Khan supported by Haidu was in power for a long time. As a result, among the four major khanates, the only one who truly assisted the Yuan Dynasty in fighting was the Il Khanate of the Mengge, which led to the failure of the long-term war.

Since Liaoyang established a Tokyo province to govern the Liaodong region, Naiyan, who was guarding Liaodong, felt that his status was threatened and uneasy. He was the great-grandson of Genghis Khan's youngest brother Temugo Ochijin. So this year he joined forces with the king Shiduer of Hesar, and the descendants of Hessar, Shengnahaer, and others to rebel. He colluded with Haidu and the kings of the northwest to rebel, posed a powerful threat to the northwest, but he was also in need of sending generals to quell the rebellion.

"The Khan, the Haidu Rebellion has been around for many years. It has used troops almost every year and consumed a lot of money and food. If Haidu is pacified, it can save huge amounts of military expenditure, and the Northern Army can be used to attack the Southern Dynasty." Yue Chi Cha'er continued to say that the Khan had not spoken for a long time.

"Well, this is indeed a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. What you mean is to transfer Boyan to the northwest to preside over the quelling of the rebellion, so that the court can avoid fighting, and not hurt Boyan." Zhen Jin understood the benefits after thinking for a moment, and nodded and said.

He once pacified the northwest army, and of course he knew that the weakest combat effectiveness of the Mongolian Yuan was the Han army originally deployed in the south of the Yangtze River, followed by the garrison troops in the Central Plains, Sichuan, and Yunnan, and the guards and the northwest army. However, in his opinion, the northwest army was stronger than the guards stationed in both capitals. It would be easy to use it to attack the Song generals in the south.

"Yes, Boyan still holds the title of Shangshu Right Prime Minister and also assists the prince. His status will only be more stable and can appease the army in the northwest. He is still the help of the great knight." Yue Chi Cha'er turned the meat on the grill and said.

"Which prince do you think you'll send to the northwest?" After hearing this, Zhen Jin asked again.

"Of course it is King Jin. He once served as the head coach in Mobei. He is familiar with military affairs and military information and can get started quickly." Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"Is this your idea, or is it your other person asking you to lobby me?" Zhen Jin's face changed and she said solemnly.

After the real gold sat in the sweat position, although he was very hardworking, he felt the feeling of dominating the world above ten thousand people, so he naturally did not want to lose it. However, because his health has always been poor, some people have repeatedly persuaded him to become the crown prince in public and secretly. Of course, he understood the meaning of it, because he was worried that one day he would die suddenly, which would trigger a dispute over the sweat position.

However, Zhen Jin, who eats marrow and taste, is very disgusted with this, and also understands why someone asked his father to abdicate, so he was so angry. He thought about the reason why he had made him appoint a prince early, and maybe he would have a desire to abdicate. Today, Yue Chi Cha'er mentioned this matter again, which made him feel alert. He was bewitched by others to come and lobby for himself. Thinking about how terrible it was for everyone around him to have this heart.

Zhen Jin has three sons. As the eldest son, Gan Mala, was raised by Empress Kublai Khan, since childhood, and was granted the title of King of Jin. He seemed to be inclined to train this grandson as his successor. He was naturally the best heir to the throne and conformed to Confucian ethical concepts. He was naturally praised by a group of Han ministers and also worked for him, hoping to make him the crown prince.

The second son, Dalamabala, was born in the Yan palace when the Zhenjin was the King of Yan. He was deeply favored by Kublai Khan. After he was a little older, he was given the maid Guo. Later, he married the daughter of Hundu Timur, the grandson of Lu King Chen, Hongjila, the daughter of Hundu Timur, and was the main concubine. However, Dalamabala was sick since childhood and was born with disabilities - he was a mute, so he naturally excreted him from the position of Khan, and Kublai Khan loved him more because he was pity.

The third son Tiemur is indeed deeply loved by the Queen Kuokuo. She has no feelings for her eldest son. According to the Mongolian tradition, the youngest son guarding the stove, she certainly hopes to use her as the crown prince, which has also won the support of the Mongolian clan king and his subordinates. So although the throne is not yet determined, the fight has begun secretly, making Zhenjin extremely sensitive to related matters.

"Da Khan... I didn't take anyone's entrust, it's just to be honest!" Dahan suddenly changed his face, which scared Yue Chi Cha'er. He also realized that his words touched the emperor's rebellious scales, and quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, the meat is about to be roasted!" Zhenjin frowned and looked at Yue Chi Cha'er, who was kneeling down for a while. Seeing that his sweat kept flowing down his cheeks and fell on the leather floor, he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it. As if he was very afraid, he raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Dahan, I am indeed unintentional. I am just making suggestions, but I have no selfish intentions. Everything needs to be decided by the Khan!" Yue Chi Chaer has been with the King of Parliament since he was a child. Of course, he knows the truth that being with the Khan is like a tiger. Although he can usually hold his arms around him, call him brothers, or even sleep with him. But if he is wrong, the wealth in front of him will disappear in a blink of an eye, and even loses trust, and it will be difficult to turn over again. He kowtowed again and said, not daring to get up.

"Well, I don't blame you, I just worry that you are being tempted by others and don't know it!" Zhen Jin saw that he was still frightened, and he was obviously scared, so he believed it eight points, and even satisfied his little self-esteem, nodded and smiled.

"Yes, yes!" Yue Chicha'er then got up, came to the grill and picked up two pieces of good meat and put them on a sweaty plate, pouring wine. The remaining few pieces of slightly baked pieces were not thrown away, but put them on her plate.

"Do you think that Boyan North will quell the rebellion, so who should command the two provinces in Jiangbei?" He was very satisfied with Yue Chi Cha'er's respectful and honest gold, but the small episode in the middle made the two feel a little embarrassed. He raised his glass to invite him to drink together to relieve the atmosphere before asking again.

"If the Khan does not give up, I want to go to the two Huaihe Army to fight against the Southern Dynasty!" Yue Chi Cha'er hesitated for a while, stood up and knelt down again and said.

"You go to command the soldiers from the two provinces?" Zhenjin said in surprise.

"Yes, Khan. I have been in the Qyxue since I entered the officialdom. Although I have been in charge of the army for many years, I have not made any contributions. I really can't raise my head among my colleagues!" Yue Chi Cha'er said. In fact, this is also his heart problem. The Mongols value military merits the most. Although he ranks at a high position, he is not as glorious as An Tong, Boyan, Yuxi Timur and others who are also a family of honorary ministers, so he requests to go to war.

"Haha, you wear a bow and arrow, guard the palace tent day and night, and protect the peace in the palace, and you will have great contributions. Why do you need to kill the enemy on your own?" Zhen Jin quickly understood his thoughts, and knew that his ancestors were all powerful generals on the battlefield, and he earned his contributions today with one sword and one shot. As a military general, he also wanted to make military achievements and stabilize his position in the court, but he still comforted him...
