Chapter 220 Kublai Khan’s plan
bang~
The tea cup fell into pieces, the tea splashed, and a few drops flew onto Hada's face, but he did not dare to wipe it away.

"You said it is impregnable, but is it so impregnable?" Kublai Khan asked fiercely.

Ha Da couldn't answer, and the others also prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to say a word, for fear of being called by Kublai Khan.

Who would have thought that the Song Army would launch an attack in winter and take Jiaoxi easily?

It's so simple...you can think of it with your toes, don't even think about celebrating the new year.

After all, it was due to strong winds and waves. Kublai Khan suppressed his anger and asked: "The Song thieves are facing each other across the sea. When spring comes, they will definitely cross the sea to attack. What are your countermeasures?"

Hada bit the bullet and said, "I am bold enough to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend the capital."

"The defense line is long, where are the troops and horses?" Kublai Khan asked.

Along the Huaihe River, the Yangtze and Hanjiang Rivers, the outskirts of Nanyang, Guangxi, and now we still have to defend the coastal areas of most cities and the hinterland of Shandong. The defense lines stretch for thousands of miles, and it is simply not enough without 80 million troops.

If you really want to go to war, you can definitely pull it off, but if you lack equipment and training, it will cost you your life. Moreover, if the court's money and food are not maintained, sooner or later it will be over.

Ha replied: "I am dead, please abandon Guangxi and the Japanese country, gather your troops and horses, and return to the capital."

"Guangxi can be abandoned, but the Japanese country cannot." Ahema said: "This year, the Japanese country has transported 20 shi of grain and 30 guan of gold and silver. It will be of great benefit to the court and cannot be abandoned lightly."

"The Japanese country has more than [-] soldiers. If the Song Dynasty cuts off the sea routes, they will all die without a burial place. It is better to withdraw and defend the capital as soon as possible." Ha replied.

After tasting the sweetness of following, the Koreans recruited 3 troops and sent them to the Japanese country. They also recruited more than [-] local servants. Now they have basically controlled the occupied area.

With so many benefits, it’s really not something you should just give up.

But Ha Da’s idea is fine. If the Song Dynasty really wants to cut off sea routes, not to mention one hundred thousand troops, even one million will be in vain.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Wenqian said, "I think there is no need to panic.

The Song army captured Jiaoxi by surprise. In the short term, they must attack Denglai. Once the place is stabilized, they will not be able to continue their invasion until at least February. At that time, the country had hundreds of cannons, so why worry about it? "

"I think what Zhang said in the signed letter is reasonable." Hudu Cha'er said: "With the manpower and material resources of the country, it is not difficult to install hundreds of artillery. How can the Song army dare to invade if they have no support?"

"What if they choose a weak spot to land and invade the capital?" Ahema asked.

"The prime minister doesn't know soldiers, that's why he said this." Zhang Wenqian gave Ah Hema some eye drops and continued: "If the army goes deep alone, we only need to hold it with a heavy force until the food, grass and gunpowder are exhausted, and we can only wait to die."

Ahema became angry and asked: "What if he seizes the city and then sticks to it?"

This...the Privy Council cannot answer.

If they really want to land without advancing, the Yuan army will have nothing to do, and the people everywhere will be frightened. It is hard to say what will happen then.

"Draft an edict!" Kublai Khan spoke and said: "From now on, regardless of Mongols and Han, those who break the law are guilty of the same crime, and there will be an agency to amend the regulations.

Mongolian students in the Imperial College are taught in Chinese, and Mongolian and Han officials are treated equally. The imperial examination will be held in March next year, with both civil and military examinations.

From now on, the hair accessories and clothing of officials at home and abroad will be made in Han Dynasty, and official documents will only be in Chinese. "

"You can't sweat too much..." Ahema lost his composure and exclaimed.

If we really do this, it will be hard to say whether the Mongols will rule the Han people or the Han people will rule the Mongols.

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more." Kublai Khan said, "If you want the world to be stable, you must let the Han people give up their hearts."

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Han ministers bowed their heads and bowed.After the implementation of the above points, no one dares to say that Kublai Khan is not orthodox anymore, not even the people of the Song Dynasty.

People have been completely Chineseized, what else is there to do?

The Khitan, Dangxiang, and Jurchens are not so thorough. Your surname Zhao has all recognized the legitimacy of the other party's imperial power. Now it makes no sense to talk about the Huayi Defense.

Zhao Laosan and Song Zhenzong's Chanyuan Alliance, Zhao Laoliu and Renzong's Qingli Peace Treaty, and Zhao Paopao's Shaoxing Peace Conference not only paid the price of money and territory, but also denied the uniqueness and sanctity of imperial power.

There are no two emperors in the world, and the people have no two masters. When there are two emperors in the world, the emperor has no dignity at all.

Therefore, the Han people in the north regard Kublai Khan as orthodox, not only because Song Ting abandoned the northerners, but also because Emperor Zhao once personally recognized this situation.

Destroying one's own platform is the biggest sequela of the three peace talks.

Kublai Khan has great prestige, and once he has made a decision, he will not change it. Each department will discuss the details after retreating from the court.

Returning to the side hall, Kublai Khan announced that Kudu Chaer and Hada were here.

"I want to send an envoy south to re-sign a contract with the Song Dynasty, and we will use the old border between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty as the boundary. What do you think?" Kublai Khan said.

The two of them were startled, and suddenly Douchaer asked: "What does the sweat mean?"

"The south will be maintained for the time being, and we will do our best to conquer all the ministries. When the north and west are stable, we will go south with all our strength!" Kublai Khan did not let the two people speculate on his holy intentions.

The land that stretches thousands of miles from east to west can be called an empire on which the sun never sets. However, in fact, most places are only in name only and no effective rule has been established.

For example, the four great khanates not only ignored the imperial court, but even openly supported Haidu.

Such territory is actually the same as unoccupied land.

Kublai Khan planned to negotiate with Song Guoxu first, and then go south to settle the general accounts after settling other places.

"The Holy Ming of the Great Khan." Kudu Cha'er flattered him and said: "Although the Song Kingdom is small, it is powerful and has thunder and artillery. It is difficult to defeat it in a hurry.

The imperial court used thunder and artillery to attack the northwest, and it took only a matter of seconds to conquer the various ministries.

It’s just that this year, [-] households in Sichuan will immigrate. Self-sufficiency will only be achieved in the next two years. We can’t give up!
Sichuan is a beautiful place. If it is not returned, the Song Dynasty may not be willing to negotiate for peace. "

One hundred thousand households, 200 million acres of farmland, the government allocated 100 million shi of grain, and another 20 households could not only support the Sichuan army, but even feed Hanzhong.

The investment is huge, the rewards are right in front of you, and the location is so advantageous, how could you give up?

"Great Khan, Guangxi and Yunnan are mountainous and barren, and the place is barren. We can replace it with Nanyang and suburban counties, but Sichuan will not be abandoned." Hada said: "Moreover, the dynasty has been governing Yunnan for a long time, and people's hearts have attached to it. Maybe it can be given to the Song Dynasty. Creating trouble.

In addition, the miasmatic land of Guangxi and Yunnan is far away from the Central Plains. It is not looked upon by both inside and outside, and no one will object if it is abandoned. "

After the general discussion was completed, Kublai Khan summoned the civil and military ministers below to discuss the details.

On the whole, everyone thinks that we can focus on clearing the west and north sides, and maintain the south side first.

With the Tianlei Artillery, it will not take much time to clear the west and north, and the investment will not be too big. This is a hugely profitable thing.

The tacit idea of ​​all the Mongolian ministers is that if all the ministries surrender and millions of Mongolians move south, the control of the Han Dynasty will be unprecedentedly strengthened, and there will be no need for further Chineseization.

By then, both offense and defense will be at ease, and considering the countless wealth and resources, the Song Kingdom is nothing.
