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

Chapter 321 The End of the Hero

At the top of Cangzhou City, Li Sanlang was like a javelin, holding up his binoculars to see the Yuan army slowly retreating, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Jinan garrison was completely wiped out, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to capture the city and advance to Cangzhou before stopping.

Hebei has a vast territory and densely populated towns. The Song army's troops are no longer sufficient. On the other hand, the Yuan army has reorganized its defense line.

As the front line, Cangzhou has only one half-disabled division stationed, and the artillery has not yet been transported. It will definitely be quite difficult to fight.

"Old Li." Deng Bao came up and said, "A batch of winter clothes have been transported from the rear, and the soldiers will not be afraid of the cold."

Li Sanlang asked: "It's freezing cold. It's really freezing. The court also spent a lot of money on it, right?"

"It's not a cotton coat, it's a woolen coat." Deng Bao said, "It's said to be shipped from various countries in the East China Sea. It's indeed warm."

Deng Bao lifted up his coat, revealing the sweater underneath, and said, "You can touch it and see, it's definitely warm."

I suspect you are trying to trick me, but I have no proof.

Li Sanlang looked away in disgust and headed to the logistics office.

Carloads of sweaters are being put into storage, and at the same time, soldiers are queuing up on the other side to advance. The two sides are clearly distinct and do not interfere with each other.

"Mr. Li." Xu Zhou, the leader of the transportation group, said: "This year, countries in the East China Sea harvested a lot of wool and made more than 1 sets of sweaters. First of all, [-] sets were shipped to you."

"Thank you." Li Sanlang picked up a set and found that it was indeed thick.

Xu Zhou said with a smile: "Originally, the countries in the East China Sea planned to use this to offset their debts, but the Ministry of Accounts still allocated the funds, but the inspection and acceptance are also quite strict, so you can rest assured of the quality."

Xu Zhou was a talkative person, and Li Sanlang heard a lot of news from him.

For example, the spinning of wool was enabled by the emperor's instruction to improve the spinning wheel before mass production could be achieved. For example, in order to promote the development of countries in the East China Sea, Chen Yizhong did his best to put the textile center in Xie State.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so that we can have cotton-padded clothes and sweaters without suffering from the cold..." Before Li Sanlang could finish his words, he saw his guards running towards him.

"Commander, we found out that the Imperial City Secret Agent has extremely urgent information." The guard said.

Li Sanlang was startled and said: "Where is he? Take me there quickly."

The personal guard led the way and said: "He was seriously injured and dying, and the military doctor is trying to rescue him."

When they arrived at the military medical camp, Deng Bao greeted him and said, "Just one word, Kublai Khan is critically ill!"

"What?" After Li Sanlang was surprised, he immediately sent an order to pass the news back.

The secret agent risked his life to deliver the news, which is most likely true, but the details still depend on whether the secret agent can save him or not.

Kublai Khan fell into coma and was paralyzed twice, but he could still hold on. However, when the news of Jinan's defeat came, he could no longer hold on.

Zhenjin immediately summoned all his brothers, kings, and clans to prepare for Kublai Khan's funeral.

For nearly a month, the princes and kings came back one after another, and they visited him in batches as if they were bidding farewell.

Kublai Khan was drowsy most of the time, and when he woke up occasionally, his speech was unclear and unable to speak. Everyone could only look at him and shed tears to express their loyalty.

Because Zhenjin had to deal with government affairs, the Namuhan brothers were always at the bedside.

Suddenly, Kublai Khan opened his eyes, and Na Mu rarely saw that while he was sending people to the imperial doctor, he was asking for real gold.

With an army of 20 under Zhenjin's command, and being brutally beaten by the Song army, all the princes had given up their thoughts on fighting for the throne, and only hoped that after Zhenjin ascended the throne, he would go to the West and become a free king.

Compared with facing the arrogant and powerful generals of the Song Dynasty, the stinky fish and rotten shrimps of the West are easy to bully. It is actually good to be a happy king for a lifetime.

"Fourth." Kublai Khan's voice was small, but quite clear.

When the light came back, Na Muhan was not happy but sad, and cried out with a cry of Tao Fu Khan. "Don't cry." Kublai Khan said: "You and other towns and places must be very impressed by the power of the Song Dynasty.

After the second son ascends the throne, you brothers should work together to ensure that the country continues to prosper. "

Namuhan took the lead in expressing his position and said: "Father, don't worry, my son and ministers will definitely take the lead of my second brother."

Kublai Khan said: "You will lead your troops to the west and establish your own country. However, the barrier of the Central Plains cannot be lost. The population, money and food must be sent back to support the center in resisting the Song Dynasty.

The young emperor of the Song Dynasty is young and may not have a good life for another 50 to [-] years. If you are not of the same mind, the West will also be in trouble. This means that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold! "

"Save it for me." Namuhan responded.

At this time, Zhenjin came in, knelt down in front of the bed, held Kublai Khan's hand and called "Father Khan".

Kublai Khan said: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are common occurrences in the human world. Emperors, generals and ministers are all unavoidable. Don't do this."

Zhenjin was so sad that he could not speak.

Kublai Khan touched his real gold head and said: "After you ascend the throne, allocate some military craftsmen to your brothers, and each of them will go west to build a country, as a back-up for the Central Plains."

"My son, I will take good care of all my brothers and never treat anyone badly." Zhenjin promised.

Kublai Khan continued: "There are many mediocre ministers in the center, and all of them can be replaced. However, only Ahema can be used for wealth matters. They should be comforted and stay in office, and they should not be killed by slander."

Zhenjin nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart.

After he returned to China to take charge of the country, in order to ensure a smooth transition of the government, he did not directly remove Ahema, but he also eliminated his party members. For example, Ahma's nephew Beduluddin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, resigned due to negligence in employment.

In the past, Zhenjin thought Ahema was a traitor. On his way back, he saw that the local people's livelihood was in ruins, and he became even more determined to eliminate Ahema.

Kublai Khan didn't care whether Zhenjin could do it or not, he just said: "The defeat of Jinan is very strange. Regardless of Ananda's treason or not, we must not let it go. The northwest must be collected under the central government.

Naiyan's rebellion is a crime that cannot be forgiven, and his subordinates can instigate rebellion.

In the current situation, we have to rely on Han officials. I have not opened the imperial examination for a long time. Firstly, the court has no time to take care of it. Secondly, it is reserved for you to win people's hearts. However, the imperial examination should select Mongolian students, and loyalty is more important than talent and learning.

Queen Nanbi was keen on power, often interfered in politics, or was a nuisance to the harem, so she should be buried with her..."

"My dear, remember." Zhenjin responded and found that Kublai Khan had closed his eyes.

Zhenjin cried and called his father, but received no response.

The imperial doctor standing next to him stepped forward to check tremblingly and found that Kublai Khan was really dead.

The imperial doctor's legs weakened and he fell to the ground. Then he turned over and knelt in front of Zhenjin and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, the Dragon Controls Bintian~"

"Father~" Zhenjin and others cried loudly.

Kublai Khan died, Zhenjin's father was gone, and the mainstay of the Yuan Empire was gone.

The ministers who had already been waiting outside came in one by one, and after saluting, they said to Zhenjin: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a master for a day. Please His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, inherit the great rule and be the master of the world."

"My father's body is not cold yet, how can I do this?" Zhenjin refused and wanted to bury Kublai Khan first.

Three requests and three concessions, everyone was not in a hurry, just packed up Kublai Khan's body and prepared for the funeral.

During the 27 years of Kublai Khan's reign, all the etiquette systems have been completed, and he has already made arrangements for his funeral. Except for the final burial in the imperial mausoleum, which still follows the Mongolian custom, the previous procedures are generally the same.

The whole country was shut down, and officials wore filial piety. Such a big movement was immediately discovered by the Song Dynasty.
