It was almost evening, and the light in the hall dimmed.
On the bed in front of Liu Bingzhong was a huge plan. While he was talking, he drew houses and temples on the paper.
Liu Bingzhong said: "According to your Majesty's true intentions, you are actually not willing to use special personnel to carry out such spying and surveillance. Fortunately, there is finally progress. Your Majesty replied that he intends to let the lost treasure red guards in Qixue's army be responsible for dealing with Li Xiazhi."
Military Intelligence Department.”
"Lost Baochi?" Shi Tianze asked back, not satisfied with the result, "If it is necessary to send spies to Guanzhong, those fools like Lost Baochi can't do it."
In Mongolian, "Chi" means "people". For example, "Tanma Chi" in Tanma Red Army refers to the person responsible for exploring horses, and Daruhuachi refers to the person responsible for calming down.
Erchi refers to the person who offers food and drink.
Losing Bao Chi was the person responsible for managing the falcons in Xue's army.
It sounds like just raising birds, but one thousand households of a cowardly Xue army is worth ten thousand households of an ordinary army.
At this time, Shi Tianze asked. He was worried that Kublai Khan was unwilling to hand over power to the Han people. If the Mongolians who raised eagles were really responsible, it would be in vain.
"Of course the Mongols can't do it." Liu Bingzhong said slowly, "So I ask Duke Shi to recommend candidates to serve as the Lost Treasure Red Guards."
Shi Tianze raised his eyebrows, already having concerns in his mind.
"Is it okay to take Zhang Yi as the main one and Shi Ji as the assistant?"
Zhang Yi was a close friend of Liu Bingzhong and was hailed as one of the "Five Heroes of Purple Mountain" by his contemporaries. He was capable enough to preside over this matter;
And Shi Jiguan was appointed as the military and civilian commander of Zhending.
Today, Shi Tianze has written a letter saying, "It is not appropriate for military and civilian officials to be in the same department. The division of military and civilian power should start from the minister's family." He asked Shi Ji to return with his seal and ribbon, and only appointed Zhending as the general manager of the army. Kublai Khan expressed his favor to Shi Ji.
, has never agreed.
In this way, allowing Shi Ji to serve as a member of the Lost Treasure Red Guards and having Shi Ji's son take over as the commander-in-chief of the Zhending Army can not only eliminate some of Kublai Khan's suspicions about the military power of the Shi family, but also win a promising position...
…
The Lost Treasure Red Guards are known as Su Wei's personal soldiers, but they are actually the emperor's minions, ears and eyes.
After this candidate was proposed, Shi Tianze looked at Liu Bingzhong and saw that half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and there was a little light in his eyes, showing some Buddha nature.
Liu Bingzhong used to be a monk, but he married a wife, ruled the country and brought peace to the world, and now he is still involved in espionage.
It seemed like a long time passed, but in fact it was only a moment. He nodded slowly.
The main candidates for this intelligence agency have been decided. Zhang Yi represents ability and loyalty, while Shi Ji represents the full support of the Shi family...
After talking about this matter for a while, Liu Bingzhong thought of another trivial matter and said: "Since it is dominated by Han people, the name of the 'Lost Treasure Red Guards' is inappropriate after all."
He put down the gongbi in his hand, picked up the brush and paper from the side, wrote the words "Inspection and Pro-Army Command Commander" and handed it to Shi Tianze.
"What does Mr. Shi think?"
"As a formal official title, it is appropriate, but as a normal title, it is too long."
Shi Tianze was very fond of this intelligence yamen that was established by him and Liu Bingzhong. He thought about it carefully and finally came up with a name.
"Lost Treasure Red Guard, Yingfang, in translation, why don't we just call it...Controlling Eagle Guard?"
"Hawk guard?"
Liu Bingzhong muttered, "I just hope I can prevent Li Xia's all-pervasive Military Intelligence Department."
"When water comes, earth will cover it. If you build an earth platform, you won't be afraid of him letting water come over."
There was a slight smile in the eyes of the two of them, knowing that once all the pro-inspecting troops were commanded and envoys were established, Kublai Khan would rely more on them and other Han ministers in the future.
After all, the Great Mongolia took another step towards the Han system.
…
Today's Yanjing is more different from usual. When discussing matters in the joint hall, some distant shouts can always be heard faintly.
When the matter of controlling the Eagle Guards was agreed upon, Liu Bingzhong pulled the rope beside the eucalyptus. Because they had previously discussed in secret not to be disturbed, by pulling the rope at this time, the guards outside were willing to let people in.
Immediately, officials rushed in to report the matter, their faces full of anxiety. And this anxiety was accompanied by unspeakable joy and excitement.
"Prime Minister Shi, Secretary Cong, big things, big things..."
Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong stood up unconsciously.
"News from Hara and Lin, our king's army has not arrived yet, Brother Alibu abandoned the city and left! The imperial chariot has left Kaiping to return to Yanjing..."
Even though Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong were usually calm people, they were overjoyed when they heard this.
The two of them looked at each other and already guessed why Brother Alibaba gave up on Hala and Lin.
In the past six months, Kublai Khan had urged Brother Yixiang to attack Alibu, and on the other hand he had sent a large army north to support Brother Yixiang. At the same time, he had been stationed in Kaiping and prepared for his own expedition.
But on the other hand, the Jinlianchuan shogunate was also helping Kublai Khan contact the kings of the Khan court, and encouraged Yong Aluhu to betray Ali Buge.
Now it seems that the plan has been completed.
Since the death of Meng Ge Khan, he returned to the north and proclaimed himself emperor in the first year, the battle of Longxi in the second year, the battle of Ximutunao'er in the third year, the defeat of Li Fen in the fourth year, and the attack on Li Xia in the fifth year before returning to the army.
Mobei has experienced more than five years.
Now it is late October, and the battle for the throne of Khan will inevitably enter its sixth year, but it has finally entered the final stage of decisive battle... It is Alibaba who first fights Aruhu and then Kublai Khan.
This battle for the throne is not thrilling at all.
It is a group of descendants of robbers who divide the family's wealth. Most of the time they just curse and compete with each other to see who can win more support from the descendants of the Golden Family.
There are only one or two real decisive battles. Most of the time, the kings of the Golden Family recruit herdsmen and people, collect money and food, and then compete to see who is stronger.
From the beginning, Brother Ali was destined to lose.
It's not like he doesn't have a chance.
But when Li Xia handed over the news early, he was still waiting arrogantly at Haraholin, waiting for Kublai Khan to go and surrender to him;
When Brother Yixiang surrendered to Hara and Lin, he still waited arrogantly in Hara and Lin, waiting for Aruhu to collect soldiers, horses, money and food and then hand them over to him;
He will always wait arrogantly and run away cowardly. He is afraid of powerful enemies but likes to crazily squeeze the subjects under his rule.
Treat the Han people as two-legged sheep and disdain their help. Clinging to the old Mongolian system, they only know how to trample all directions with horse hooves in an attempt to massacre cities and plunder and conquer the world?
The era of Genghis Khan has long passed!
The Central Plains is no longer under the rule of the decadent Jin Dynasty, and the days of the Mongolian army taking advantage are over.
Liu Bingzhong knew that this was a victory for the Han system.
This was the realization of his political proposition that he told Kublai Khan more than ten years ago: "To take over the world with horses, you cannot rule the world at once."
He turned to look at the drawings on the eucalyptus, imagining a magnificent metropolis rising from the ground. He looked at the dilapidated palace city that originally belonged to the Jin Dynasty outside the museum, and looked at the setting sun on the horizon, which looked like the old Mongolian system where the sun was setting.
.
"This should be the victory of the Yuan Dynasty over the old Mongolian system. If we can change the country's name first and then march north..."
The country's title of "Dayuan" was actually given by Liu Bingzhong.
Now, although Kublai Khan has agreed to change the name of the country and has been making preparations, the day he fails to issue an edict to the world will only make people feel uneasy.
Not long ago, Liu Bingzhong reported Hao Tianyi's defection to Kublai Khan, expressing this uneasiness.
Just when I thought of this, I saw a figure hurrying towards here from outside the museum.
"Prime Minister Shi, Secretary Cong..."
Wang E was the number one scholar in the late Jin Dynasty. He was rescued by Zhang Rou when Kaifeng was destroyed. Now he is a Hanlin scholar and is responsible for drafting the imperial edict.
He is seventy-three years old this year. He is shouting and running, panting and moving stiffly, which makes people worried and anxious.
Chasing behind him was Dan Gonglu, a great Jurchen Confucian disciple.
Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong rushed to greet them.
"Master Zhuangyuan, please slow down, why are you so urgent?"
"Your Majesty has left for Yanjing..."
"We know, we know. Master Zhuang Yuan, don't be impatient and speak slowly."
Wang E was so out of breath that he couldn't speak. He hurriedly raised his hand to greet Tu Dan Gonglu behind him, asking him to tell Shi Tianze and Liu Bingzhong the news quickly.
Mr. Tu Shan came forward and said, "I have just received your Majesty's order, asking us to draft an edict and prepare to issue a summons to change the country's title..."
"real?!"
Even Shi Tianze, who had always been calm and discreet in his actions, could not help but feel surprised.
Shi Tianze was even a little ashamed because he had not tried his best in the Battle of Nanyang and the Battle of Hancheng in the past two years.
Liu Bingzhong was so excited that he was ecstatic.
Recalling Wang Wentong's death, he thought that His Majesty would start to be suspicious of Han officials, but at that time he did not expect that these Han reforms would come so quickly in recent years.
Over the years, some survivors have always said that helping the Mongols practice Han law is not feasible, but now they have used facts to prove that this path is correct.
Mongolia rose in the desert and would dominate the world in fifty years. In the hands of people like them, it would eventually transform into an orthodox Han dynasty.
"Really, when His Majesty returns to Yanjing, he will issue an edict to change the name of the country..."
~~
November of the fourth year of the reign of Zhongtong.
The sound of drum music swelled in Yanjing City, and someone was reading the imperial edict loudly.
"I was born to be a king, and I am respected all over the world. I must have a good name. I will lead hundreds of kings and establish a system. From the beginning to the end of the ancient times, the bandits will rule my family..."
The edict came from the hand of Tu Dan Gonglu.
Tu Shan Gonglu was a Jurchen, but he could write such beautiful articles for Kublai Khan who did not understand Chinese.
Because the world needs poems and articles like this.
"I, Emperor Shengwu, the great ancestor, held the Qian talisman and raised the earth, and used the divine force to imitate the emperor's map. The sound shook the sky, the earth was vast, and the map was so vast that it has never been seen in ancient times..."
As the edict continued to be read, Zhang Yi, who was standing among the ministers, had his eyes slightly wet as he listened.
Zhang Yi is now appointed as the Yanjing Province and participates in politics. He has received news that after the country's title is determined today, he will be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Provincial Military Command Division, also known as the Commander-in-Chief of the Eagle Guard.
This is an official position that has never existed in the Great Mongolia, and it was specially created to deal with Li Xia.
He will be the first person to be promoted to an official position after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.
Then, I heard the edict reading to the next sentence.
"The founding name of the country is Dayuan, which is derived from the meaning of 'Qianyuan' in the Book of Changes..."
At this point, the land beneath their feet was officially renamed Dayuan.
"Jia and Futian, let's have a big trumpet together!"
"Jia and Futian, grow the trumpet together..."
The ceremony was very grand.
What's even more grand is that the expectations of countless Central Plains people during the thirty years since Jin's death were finally answered on this day.
For them, His Majesty the Yuan Emperor's kindness to the emperor was so profound that the only way to repay it was with death.
…
Just a few days later, while Zhang Yi was still forming the Eagle Guards, he had already selected twelve capable captains to lead their troops south.
At the beginning of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains also had a new atmosphere; when the Eagle Guard was first established, it was the time to make meritorious deeds.
People are excited, Ali Bu Ge in Peking and Li Xia in Xiding seem to be just around the corner...
