Chapter 1047: The iron-blooded prime minister, the chief general of Athens, the chief planner of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and the sage through the ages.(2/2)

Later, Liu Bingzhong gave Kublai Khan fourteen strategies to stabilize the country:

1. Take over the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately. Kublai Khan should be the Duke of Zhou in Mongolia.

Second, appoint generals and prime ministers, ennoble the descendants of the founding heroes as governors of the world, and reward and punish them for their merits.

Third, the taxes on the people are too heavy. Please reduce the burden on the people, fix the salaries of all officials, and prohibit officials from killing and killing at will.

Fourth, the death penalty should be reduced and the death penalty should be repeatedly reviewed.

5. The people are the foundation of the country, so forgive the people’s debts.

Sixth, formulate commercial taxes and encourage farmers to practice mulberry farming.

Seventh, run schools and open courses to obtain scholars.

8. Encourage the people to engage in production, reduce exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the state supports the widowed and lonely.

9. Respect Confucius, recruit Confucian scholars from all over the world, and visit famous Confucian scholars for the use of the country.

10. Promulgated the new calendar and compiled the "History of the Jin Dynasty".

11. Tax exemption for scholars. Anyone with skills must be retained and put to use.

Twelve, open up the road of speech, stay away from villains, and stay close to gentlemen.

Thirteen, do not talk about benefits and reduce the gap between rich and poor.

14. Establish legal systems, be lenient in criminal laws, and prohibit harsh punishments. Improve the court system and use official positions to win over people's hearts.

In 1259, Mongolian Khan Meng Ge attacked Diaoyu City in Sichuan and was shot to death under the city. There was a vacuum in the highest power of the Mongol Empire. Ali Bu Ge who stayed in Mobei and Kublai Khan who attacked the Southern Song Dynasty each used their own methods to compete for the throne of Khan.

Kublai Khan stopped his attack on the Southern Song Dynasty and led his army back north. Liu Bingzhong suggested that Kublai Khan should succeed to the throne first and gain a political advantage. In the spring of 1260, the Kuritai Conference was held in Kaiping to hold the enthronement ceremony. On May 5

, Kublai Khan ascended the throne and became the Emperor of the Great Mongol Kingdom, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

At the suggestion of Liu Bingzhong, Kublai Khan adopted the emperor system, calling himself me, with the title of Zhongtong and Kaiping as the supreme capital. This move caught Ali Buge off guard. Ali Buge also called himself the Great Khan with Lin.

.

The two men each received the support of the northern and southern Mongolian nobles, and the two sides launched a decisive battle. Relying on the abundant manpower and material resources of the Han Dynasty, Kublai Khan launched a four-year battle for the throne.

In 1261, at the Battle of Ximutunaoer, the Mongolian army led by Kublai Khan and the Mongolian army led by Alibuge met. These Mongolian soldiers all knew each other and were brothers and relatives in the past. So they stood in front of the two armies.

Each of them hesitated to move forward.

Liu Bingzhong suggested that Kublai Khan use the Han army to detour behind the enemy's rear and make a surprise attack. Kublai Khan followed his advice and defeated Ali Buge's army.
