At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 116

Dadu, outside the Xingsheng Palace, Zhang Zongyan held the jade seal, and his disciple Zhang Liusun held the long sword, and carefully followed the chamberlain to Kublai Khan.

After seeing the gift, Kublai Khan asked for the Heavenly Master's Seal and Heavenly Master's Sword to be brought up.

After passing through the hands of the chamberlain, Zhang Zongyan entered in person.

As an outsider, what bad intentions could Zhang Zongyan have?Offer the seal sword honestly.

These two items were handed down from Zhang Daoling. Compared with today, they are not actually exquisite or gorgeous.

As a symbol of status, it depends on who uses it. At least you can tell from Kublai Khan's inability to put it down that it is still very precious.

After playing with it for a long time, Kublai Khan sighed: "Dynasties are more difficult to know than ordinary ones. If the Heavenly Master seals the sword and passes it down to his descendants to this day, does it have the appearance of a god?"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you." Zhang Zongyan said: "All the ancestors of the past generations have become immortals, and there is really no one who survives forever.

If you want your country to last forever, it must be loved and educated, supported by all the people, and the country will naturally be stable. "

"What the Heavenly Master said is absolutely true." After returning the seal sword, Kublai Khan said again: "Since the army is going to the south of the Yangtze River, I order all the troops not to disturb the people."

"It is because Wang Shi is as powerful as a broken bamboo, and there is no one who dares to stop."

When the business was going on, the chamberlain led the privy envoy Bo'er Jijin and Maunge in.

The privy envoy of Yuanting was appointed by the prince. He was originally the prince of Zhenjin. Because Zhenjin propagandized and pacified Tubo, he was changed to the third son, Mang Gelu.

Generally speaking, the privy councilors don't do things, but taking care of things is a big deal.

Busy Brother paid his respects and said: "Jiangnan urgently reported that Boyan was defeated on the east road. Suddenly he fell into the enemy's formation and retreated. The entire army of Arakan on the middle road was wiped out. I am missing."

"Hmph!" Kublai Khan flicked his sleeves and said: "The Southern Dynasty has its own powerful weapons, so the generals of the National Dynasty don't know how to fight?
Boyan personally led the army but was defeated, and Arahan was nowhere to be found. Could it be that I was asked to conquer it personally? "

Temur Fan Wenhu died in a mutiny in the army camp, he was really rubbish, Kublai Khan disdainfully mentioned that Boyan and Arakhan were both great talents, and now they are still defeated, which really broke Kublai Khan's defenses.

When Brother Lazheng didn't know how to answer, Zhang Zongyan said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, destiny is in the Yuan Dynasty, how can the Southern Dynasty resist it?
Your Majesty may go to the Arms Prison, and there will be results. I dare to say that the fate of the Southern Dynasty will be over soon. "

Kublai Khan said: "Just as you said, I will go to the military weapons inspection department and you will accompany me."

When the Mongols first emerged, the production of weapons and armor was entirely the responsibility of captured craftsmen. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he set up an arms supervisor to take charge of his affairs. The military flagship was responsible for the gunpowder of Yuanting.

When he heard that the emperor was coming, the weapons supervisor abandoned all his work and hurriedly swept the floor and sprinkled water to meet the emperor. However, before he finished cleaning, the emperor had already arrived.

After a while, Kublai Khan arrived at the weapons prison.

Buck, the weapons supervisor, and Prime Minister Zhang Yu led the officials and craftsmen of all sizes to kneel down to greet him. After exempting themselves from the ceremony, Kublai Khan looked at one person and asked, "Why is Guo Qing here?"

Guo Shoujing replied: "The weapons supervisor has prepared gunpowder, but it is not as powerful as the Song Dynasty. I was invited by Zhang Cheng to come to consult on this matter."

"Very good." Kublai Khan praised: "I am very relieved that you are concerned about national affairs. Now that the gunpowder has been released, it is time to try it. You will arrange it."

"I obey the order." Guo Shoujing responded.

In a word, Guo Shoujing took the lead.

It can only be said that the weapons supervisors and subordinates are all honest people and will not show off their merits. Otherwise, why would they wait for Kublai Khan to arrive in person?

The gunpowder test was conducted outside the city, and Kublai Khan once again drove out of the city in a mighty manner.

Soon, more than a hundred kilograms of gunpowder were loaded and buried. Everyone stood far away while a soldier lit the fuse.

Boom~
Crashed.

Although there was no wooden figure, the large hole in the ground still showed the power of gunpowder.

"The power is really amazing. No wonder the generals suffered losses many times." Kublai Khan praised him and said: "Your hard work has made you great, and you should be heavily rewarded."

Guo Shoujing is also an honest man, mainly because he has a good relationship with Zhang Yu, so he said: "I dare not take credit. It is actually the result of Zhang Yu's hard work. Your Majesty should commend him."

And me?Buck was dumbfounded.

Yes, he is a blacksmith from the Western Region, but that doesn't mean he can only blacksmith. The credit of this leader should not be less, right?

Of course, Kublai Khan would not favor one over the other, and said: "Both Buck and Zhang Yu moved to ten thousand households, were awarded gold talismans, and renamed the Arms Supervisor as Wubei Temple, the third rank, with a gunpowder bureau under it.

The following meritorious persons should be reported with their names, and each will be rewarded, so there should be no omissions. "The minister kowtowed to thank God." "Buck and Zhang Yu thanked him happily.

There is certainly money to be made in the Arms Supervision, but when a hero like Kublai Khan is in power, there is a high chance that he will be chopped off if he reaches out, so he has become a little transparent.

At this time, they have become important ministers and the court will be in the front row. Of course, the two of them are very happy.

Moreover, when the emperor said not to miss anyone, he actually asked the two of them to lead a network of connections. This was an excellent opportunity.

Kublai Khan said: "Immediately prepare gunpowder and send it to the front line south of the Yangtze River. Don't delay national affairs."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we'll be ready in half a month." The two agreed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are not far away from being successful in the world." Zhang Zongyan lost no time in showing his presence.

Kublai Khan said: "Daoling, the ancestor of Zhang Tianshiqing in Longhu Mountain, worked hard to obtain the true transmission of the Dharma. It is very effective. It has been passed down to the descendants for dozens of generations for more than a thousand years, and the effectiveness has not diminished at all." .

Today, Zhang Tianshi is bestowed with a jade hibiscus crown, a gold seamless suit, a silver seal of the second rank, and a Daoist Yingchong and a real person, and he is ordered to lead Jiangnan Taoism.

The imperial edict exempted all the palaces and temples in the south of the Yangtze River from paying taxes, and they had to pay their own way to educate people as Taoist priests. Roads were set up with Taoist records departments, prefectures were set up with Taoist officials, and counties were set up with dignitary departments. They all belonged to Yan. "

"I kowtow to thank Tianen." Zhang Zongyan knelt down on the spot.

Kneeling down and licking Kublai Khan, he prayed for the revitalization of Taoism.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty dreamed that he was the reincarnation of the old king, so he devoted himself to seeking immortality. He first called himself Taojun Emperor, then built Gen Mountain to collect spiritual energy, and then changed the world's temples into Taoist temples... and finally got rid of it completely.

Then, Taoism in the south came under fierce attack and was in decline.

In the north, when Qiu Chuji joined Kublai Khan, the Quanzhen Sect flourished and the entire Taoist sect benefited from it.

When Yin Zhiping took charge, the Quanzhen Sect reached its peak, and then it became jealous.

First, Buddhism and Taoism had the "Hua Hu Jing", and then the two had a debate in the eighth year of Xianzong. The Taoism was defeated and its momentum plummeted.

Zhang Zongyan went north with the intention of revitalizing the Taoist sect.

So he kept staring at the gunpowder test, feeling that the movement was almost done, and seized the opportunity to tell Kublai Khan, and he really got a wave of bonuses.

In this short period of time, great gods from all walks of life arrived one after another, flattering him and making Kublai Khan happy.

After taking turns to blow in a circle, Ahema bowed down again and said: "The Great Khan has a destiny, so the Immortal God has given gunpowder. From now on, wherever the sun shines, it is the blessing of His Majesty!"

"Hahaha..." Kublai Khan laughed heartily again and said, "What do you have to say?"

"No one is wiser than your Majesty." Ahma said: "The north is in turmoil, and the south should not be underestimated.

In the past, the king's army was defeated repeatedly in battles, but it was actually due to gunpowder and not a crime of war.

I think that I should use the instigating governor to take charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang affairs to punish the remaining evildoers of the Song Dynasty. "

"I think it's inappropriate." Qin Hao said: "Instigating the dismissal of the capital will not only defeat the army, but actually defeat the people!

If we want the south of the Yangtze River to be peaceful for a long time, we must not only wipe out the remnants of the Song Dynasty, but also win the hearts and minds of the people. This can be done without instigation. Instead, we must choose talented people. "

Kublai Khan was in a good mood today, and did not want to be affected by the ministers' arguments, so he said: "We will discuss it later when Boyan returns to the court. The Arms Supervisor should give him a banquet to reward his merits."

The emperor didn't want to say anything, so everyone shut up immediately.

However, the Boyan family and the Ahema family will never give up the position of the southern coach. There will definitely be some competition. Of course, who will win in the end depends on the emperor's wishes.

On the occasion of the big celebration, of course, everyone played music and danced to their heart's content.

On the Suzhou Ocean, after Zhang Xuan confirmed that there were no ships nearby, he ordered the sails to be lowered and the anchor to be lowered.

When the ship stopped, he took off his clothes first, put the pig's bag on his back, and said: "Brothers, keep up your efforts. When you succeed, your majesty will definitely reward you generously."

The sailors behind him had been tortured to the point of losing their spirits. They lazily took off their clothes and took out the pig sacs. When they were ready, Zhang Xuan jumped into the water first.

No matter how shallow the Suzhou Ocean is, it is still the sea. When you dive to the bottom, the visibility is very low. Zhang Xuan has long been used to it, so he doesn't feel sad at all.

He had a premonition that he would be rewarded today, and he would be granted the title of general in front of him, so he was full of energy.
