Chapter 290 Cross-Century Dialogue
"But this guy Zhu Houzhao stole the spotlight!"
With a depressed look on his face, Zhu Di had a direct conversation with Kublai Khan, who truly founded the Yuan Dynasty. He thought so too!
The same goes for Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qiyu.
Kublai Khan is different from Huang Taiji's wild boar skin.
In Huang Taiji, they only saw ugliness, but in Kublai Khan, his civil and military skills, his confident and calm demeanor were truly extraordinary.
Even if they were in different camps and put aside the various grievances between Yuan and Ming Dynasty, they had to admit that Kublai Khan was indeed an extraordinary person. Although he had not yet achieved the throne, he already had the appearance of an emperor.
"I've heard about the name of the Fourth Prince for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was truly extraordinary and extraordinary."
Zhu Houzhao was not stingy with his words of praise, and Kublai Khan deserved his praise.
"Haven't I asked you your surname?"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhu is such a wonderful person."
Kublai Khan sneered and said: "The six countries have bad relations with each other, and they even had feuds. Even if they form an alliance, can Brother Zhu be able to command them?"
"Fourth Prince, this is too much."
Kublai Khan undoubtedly had such extraordinary courage. He did not mention the war, but instead attracted Zhu Houzhao: "The Song Dynasty is decaying and declining. It is really an incompetence of talent to use Brother Zhu's talents to devote his life to the Song Dynasty."
"But I am a Han Chinese, how can I do anything against my ancestors?"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the six-nation coalition. I command a million-strong army of the six nations. I hold a high position. Why should I surrender to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty?"
Kublai Khan was full of expectations. He was more happy to conquer a talent like Zhu Houzhao than to capture Xiangyang City.
The King of Ruyang was dumbfounded and speechless. He knew that Kublai Khan cherished talents and loved talents, but was it appropriate to recruit Zhu Houzhao?
"Brother Zhu's family will also be honored by this. It is better than being buried for the Song Dynasty."
"Zhu Houzhao."
"Even if Brother Zhu has superior skills and can easily control the six-nation coalition, so what? Has Brother Zhu ever thought about his own end?"
After listening to Kublai Khan's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't laugh or cry. He had always drawn pie cakes for others, but today he had someone else draw pie cakes for him. This feeling was really wonderful.
There are many people with the surname Zhu in the world, but only two are famous. One is the Zhu family of Neo-Confucianism. His scholarly reputation is passed down to the world and he cannot go to the battlefield. After all, Zhu Houzhao can only be a member of the Zhu family in Fengyang.
Able to do what ordinary people cannot do, and endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
"The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty slaughtered so much in the Central Plains that many people in the Central Plains were displaced and lost their lives."
He fought a battle with the Six-Nation Alliance and suffered a big loss, but until now, he has not figured out Zhu Houzhao's real name.
Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
"good"
"Fertile land, glory and wealth, fame and fortune, with Brother Zhu's talent, can be obtained easily and at your fingertips."
Kublai Khan seemed to be possessed by "Wang Situ". He faced Zhu Houzhao with affection and rational persuasion and said: "Since Tianming Zhenren was born in the desert and laid a solid foundation for the Yuan Dynasty, the rise of our Yuan Dynasty has been unstoppable.
.”
Even if Kublai Khan, who was well versed in Han culture, was a liar, he was still trying to trick people. Others would probably be tempted by what he said.
"Our Yuan Dynasty is now at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. We have many soldiers and generals, and we are united. No country in the world can compete with the Yuan Dynasty. Unification of the world will be a matter of time."
"I think of the famous general Di Qing of that generation, who was invincible on the battlefield and made outstanding military achievements, but in the end he died in depression because of being marginalized by civil servants. How sad and miserable."
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Zhu Houzhao said slowly:
"The fourth prince's promise is very tempting."
"The current Great Khan, Meng Ge, knows people well and is responsible for his duties. He is both virtuous and talented. Our officers and soldiers of the Dayuan Dynasty are even more brave and fearless. They have opened up new territories and conquered the world. They are already destined to serve."
"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked, the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the world is settled, and the counselors perish."
"Brother Zhu has a great talent and a great power. Why don't you change sides and surrender with courtesy? I, the Yuan Dynasty, will not treat Brother Zhu badly. The position of Duke can be easily obtained."
So after Zhu Houzhao reported his name, he immediately thought of the Zhu family in Fengyang.
"Brother Zhu led the armies of the six countries to attack our country today. Although he was able to achieve unparalleled achievements and become famous at home and abroad, brother Zhu also made such a great achievement that he was feared by the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid he will not end up in the same situation in the future.
How wonderful!"
It has to be said that Kublai Khan studied the Han culture very thoroughly, and he firmly grasped the desires of the Han people's civil servants and generals in terms of fame and fortune, glory and wealth, and family inheritance.
Zhu Houzhao's impassioned words spread throughout the battlefield, and countless soldiers were filled with enthusiasm.
The Fengyang Zhu family became famous in one fell swoop at Zhang Sanfeng's birthday party in Wudang, and later took control of the Song Dynasty, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. He knew all this.
"Although I am unworthy, I will not sacrifice my life for a country that harms my compatriots."
Not only Zhu Houzhao, but also the top brass of the two armies were shocked. They never expected that Kublai Khan's meeting with Zhu Houzhao was neither a declaration of war nor a persuasion to retreat, but a solicitation.
Zhu Houzhao led the six-nation coalition to fight all the way to Dadu and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy of the Meng Yuan Dynasty!
"Dayuan will not do anything like killing a donkey, which can ensure that Brother Zhu will live a prosperous life and the family can pass it on from generation to generation."
"Exactly!"
"The Meng Yuan Dynasty was powerful and had unrivaled iron cavalry. However, wherever it passed, there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. The sin was so deep that it would be difficult to wash it away even if all the water from all over the world was poured out. It would be difficult to exhaust all the books and papers in the world."
"If you don't tell lies in front of real people, do you think the Fourth Prince really doesn't know the reason why all the countries joined forces to conquer the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty?"
Zhu Houzhao was caught off guard by Kublai Khan's recruitment, so he decided to play with Kublai Khan.
However, the next second, he couldn't be happy anymore, and the expectation on his face turned into gloom.
Kublai Khan laughed loudly and called "Brother Zhu" with open and closed mouths. He didn't care that it was Zhu Houzhao who led the six-nation coalition to attack the capital city.
An ordinary person would really not be able to resist the temptation of Kublai Khan, but unfortunately, he faced Zhu Houzhao, an emperor with a huge empire.
"good"
"The Song Dynasty always valued literature over military affairs, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were even more wolf-hearted and cold-natured."
Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Qiyu looked at each other, all feeling confused and unable to understand the direction of Kublai Khan's painting style.
"But I, Dayuan, are different. The Great Khan appreciates talents like Brother Zhu very much. As long as Brother Zhu is willing to work for me, Dayuan, I, Dayuan, will not treat Brother Zhu badly."
"Commander-in-Chief of the Six Nations Allied Forces, ha."
Kublai Khan reacted instantly and asked: "Song Ting Fengyang Zhu family?"
Kublai Khan accepted Zhu Houzhao's praise calmly and asked Zhu Houzhao's name.
"Since you know it well, why would the Fourth Prince do more unnecessary testing?"
Kublai Khan pretended to be confused, and allied forces from various countries attacked the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Do they still need a reason?
Meng Yuan is too strong and must be controlled. Is this a reason?
If you have to find a valid reason, you are doing justice to God.
Every time the Meng Yuan went to war, there were rivers of blood, mountains of corpses, and heinous crimes. Countries condemned the people for their crimes and conquered the tyrannical and unkind countries.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly!
"Why did Brother Zhu raise an army to attack my Yuan Dynasty?"
Kublai Khan's words directly confused Zhu Houzhao. In front of the formation, the two armies actually intended to recruit him as the commander-in-chief of the six-nation coalition. Could this be the magnanimity of the Yuan Shizu?
"good"
All the troops shouted in unison, and the sound was like a surging ocean tide, shaking the sky and stirring in all directions.
"It seems that Brother Zhu is determined to be my enemy, Dayuan!"
The smile on Kublai Khan's face slowly disappeared, and there was already murderous intent in his brows. People like Zhu Houzhao, who could not be used by him, should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Wang Situ: Villager Zhuge, it won’t be long before we meet again!
