When Li Zhaocheng was so frightened by the snakes on the ground that he could not speak, the old Yang Qixin seemed very calm.
Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, pointed at Li Xia who was covered in mud, and said sternly: "Why doesn't your king care about your body so much?!"
As Yang Qixin spoke, he glared at the soldiers around him and shouted, "Why don't you put on your clothes, Your Majesty?!"
No one answered. The soldiers from the Selective Battalion were already standing on the shore, all of them looking indifferent.
It wasn't until Li Xia waved his hand that someone immediately came over with some water.
While wiping, Li Xia said, "If Mr. Yang has something urgent, just tell him. I'll listen."
However, Yang Qixin was not in a hurry to talk about what he wanted to face. He blew his beard and glared, saying: "Now the safety of Sichuan and Shaanxi is at stake. How can the King of Qin enter the water in the middle of winter? How many major events will be delayed if he contracts typhoid fever?
"
Although his tone was criticizing Li Xia, his expression was concerned. It had the earnestness of a minister who was trying to persuade him, but also a bit of the severity of an elder in the family disciplining a younger one.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang." Li Xia said, "You have a good physique and are not prone to diseases."
He wanted to talk about the matter lightly, and after saying so, he said: "Come today, am I going to tell Mr. Yang to write the article?"
Yang Qixin obviously still had something to say, but when King Qin asked, he had no choice but to take out a letter from his sleeve again and replied: "Yes, please read it, your Majesty. This is my written rebuttal to Kublai Khan."
Articles that say 'If you follow the Chinese way, you will be the master of China'."
Li Xia wiped his hands, put on his clothes, raised his hand, and led Yang Qixin towards the main tent, reading the article in his hand as he walked.
"As expected, he is Tanhua Lang. Mr. Yang is very good at poetry and poetry."
Having said that, he closed the book in his hand again, pondered for a moment and then changed the subject.
"But I'm afraid Mr. Yang didn't understand what I meant... Let's put it this way, Hao Jing is not doing academic work for Kublai Khan, he is trying to win over Han officials. In the same way, I don't want Mr. Yang to write an article.
To discuss the right and wrong of this matter, it is to promote my ethnic policy."
"Your Majesty is saying that this article is not well written?"
"The article is well written, but you didn't understand what I meant. To put it simply, I want you to help me tell the world that we are one country. As for whether they are Mongols, Uighurs, Hui people, or Sha
Tuo people? This is just a difference between ethnic groups, and ethnic groups belong to the country."
When Li Xia said this, he picked up a branch, drew a circle on the ground, and said: "What we have to do is to make this truth right, and bring all ethnic groups in and become the people under our rule."
"this……"
"Kublai Khan said that he is the Lord of China, which means that he, the Great Khan of Mongolia, is coming to 'include' us. Now it's up to me to put forward my point of view. I am the Lord of China, and China includes Mongolia. I don't mean to
Kublai Khan said, but fight with him. I need to let the herdsmen know that the Great Khan does not necessarily only occur in the golden family, I can also be their Great Khan..."
Yang Qixin hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Could it be that the king is saying that Kublai Khan dares to compete for the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and the king wants to compete with him for the orthodoxy of the grassland?"
"That's probably what it means." Li Xia said: "Prairie people don't talk about orthodoxy, they only talk about interests and beliefs. I can call myself 'Tian Khan' to them. Then, where does the orthodoxy of Tian Khan come from? How about our subjects?
What do you think? Can we not call him 'Heavenly Khan' but directly allow all ethnic groups to recognize the king? This is what you have to sort out for me."
Yang Qixin didn't agree with Li Xia's view of integrating the Yi and Di into China, and he didn't want to write such an article, so he handed over his hand and advised: "Your Majesty, the Yi and Di cannot be governed in the same way as China, they are like animals.
…”
Li Xia said: "Use Xia to convert Yi and use ritual articles to assimilate Yi and Di. This is what Mencius said, isn't it?"
"Yidi are not of my race, and their minds must be different..."
"I know the truth. I want to argue with Kublai Khan, not you." Li Xia raised his hand to stop Yang Qixin from speaking again and said: "If Mr. Yang can't write, I'll ask someone else to do it.
It’s the same thing.”
"The king's words are serious, I can write the article. But...it seems that now is not the time to do this?"
"Why not?"
"Privately, I think the king's priority is to govern Sichuan and Shaanxi."
Yang Qixin said it very tactfully.
He doesn't think Li Xia needs an orthodoxy to deal with various ethnic groups now.
Based on the current situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi, we should accumulate strength and wait for the next time the Mongolian army invades to resist it.
As for the rest, he probably won't be able to see it in his lifetime...
"No, I need this Taoist tradition soon." Li Xia said: "I don't want that when there are Mongolian tribesmen who are considering whether to surrender, we don't have a formed concept to recruit them."
"Soon? Mongolian tribesmen?"
Yang Qixin instantly became alert.
He once again looked around at the soldiers of the Selected Front Battalion beside the Lotus Pond, with doubts in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qixin's expression became serious, he bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you a question."
This is the first time he has surrendered to Li Xia.
He was a Jinshi of the Song Dynasty, but he had no choice but to stay in Chang'an. Seeing the King of Qin vigorously fighting, he really had the potential to rise. For the sake of unification of the world and the stability of his children and grandchildren, he could assist Li Xia. But I still thought about his old age anyway.
It won't be many years, so it would be better to retain the Song Dynasty's ministerial etiquette.
Today, I finally couldn't help but want to remonstrate. The word "Chen" showed that he was really thinking about Li Xia from his perspective.
"I have to ask your Majesty, why do you have no interest in people's livelihood and government affairs at this time when everything is in ruins, but you are wrestling with warriors in this ruined garden every day?"
Li Xia was silent for a moment, feeling that "not caring about people's livelihood and government affairs" was a bit harsh.
He never fell asleep every time he discussed matters, and he listened to his ministers seriously about people's livelihood and government affairs. Why did Yang Qixin say that he was careless about people's livelihood and government affairs?
When Yang Qixin saw that Li Xia didn't answer, he bowed again and said: "Now the king of Qin has four thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and is admired by four million people, but he still personally controls a hundred warriors. Isn't it that he cares about the small and loses the big?"
As for where the Mongolian tribe came from? What does the king want to do? Could it be that he wants to lead these hundred people to Hetao or the Western Regions?"
After all, Tanhua Lang is Tanhua Lang. In just a few words, he seemed to have guessed what Li Xia was thinking.
This is a rare question.
It is not that Li Xia's prestige has declined, but that these scholar-bureaucrats did not regard Li Xia as a monarch before, but now they regard him as a monarch, and they have new requirements.
Not only Yang Qixin, many officials in Chang'an saw that Li Xia was always practicing the vanguard camp these days, and they were always worried that Li Xia would suddenly lead these people to the enemy's territory one day.
Li Xia looked at Yang Qixin and smiled easily. Just as he was waiting for a reply, a soldier came quickly and whispered in Li Xia's ear: "Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Department is reporting urgently. The messenger is outside the stronghold."
.”
"Let him come to see me."
After Li Xia gave his instructions, he raised his hand to signal Yang Qixin to step aside first.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Qixin, however, refused to leave. He held up his hands and admonished: "The industry is good at hard work but idle at play! In view of the current situation in Guanzhong, I would like to ask Your Majesty to focus on the overall situation and stop focusing on personal success.
Xiaoyong."
Li Xia looked at him for a while and said: "Mr. Yang, please step aside first. When we return to Chang'an City, we can sit down and talk in the council hall."
Li Zhaocheng wanted to persuade him, but when Li Xia glanced at him, he lowered his head and still helped Yang Qixin out obediently.
Yang Qixin was extremely reluctant, but since Li Xia gave the strict order, he had no choice but to leave first with a sigh.
Li Xia looked at their backs and took a few deep breaths.
After a while, a spy from the Military Intelligence Department came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, a letter from Baozhou..."
"Letter to me."
Li Xia opened the envelope, took out the map while reading it, and fell into deep thought.
~~
When Li Xia rode his horse out of the deserted Furong Garden and returned to Prince Qin's Mansion, he saw a group of officials standing in front of the vermilion gate, all of them looking a little excited.
"Mr. Han must advise the king! The son of a rich man will not sit in the court..."
Yang Qixin was holding Han Chengxu's sleeves and crying, as if he was complaining.
When everyone saw Li Xia returning on horseback, they all stepped forward to salute.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for."
Li Xia turned over and dismounted, glanced around and saw Han Chengxu, Yang Guo, Han Qi'an, Li Ye, Li Yong, Wu Pu, Xi Jihu, Lu Xiufu, Dong Wenyong and others coming, he nodded and said: "That's good.
Let's talk about it in the hall, and you will feel at ease once the matter is explained clearly."
Everyone then followed Li Xia and walked into the hall. Before they could sit down, Han Chengxu said, "I heard that the king practiced with the soldiers of the Selected Front Camp? Walking in the mud, eating raw meat, and drinking horse blood? The veteran remembers that the king in the past
He didn’t even drink raw water.”
"Of course I don't want to drink raw water if there are conditions." Li Xia said: "But I have been thinking recently, why the Mongolian army can march thousands of miles away, but every time we want to attack a place, the two words that cannot be avoided are always 'food and grass'
.”
He sat down on the main seat, flipped through a stack of books at the head of the bed, and took out two books.
"Everyone has read "The Story of the Black Tartars" and "The Record of the Mongolian Tartars". The answer to the Mongolian March is not difficult to find, it's right here..."
These two books were written by Peng Daya 30 years ago and Zhao Cong 40 years ago after returning from his mission to Mongolia. Li Xia had already torn through these two books, and they were densely packed with notes.
"When the sheep have eaten, they will shoot wild beasts without raising fireworks. What I am afraid of is the word 'without raising fireworks'. The raw meat will be ground under the saddle, and the taste will be just right in the mouth. You can drink horse milk and blood, and you will be extremely hungry.
Rats can be eaten, and human flesh can also be eaten. They don’t carry baggage, and as long as they have horses that can run, they will never die of hunger. The key to marching thousands of miles is to eat hair and drink blood..."
"Your Majesty," Xi Jihu said: "The Mongolian army is a Mongolian army, but we Han men can defeat them without learning the style of barbarians."
"Yes. We Han men can defeat them. We have defeated them many times in Sichuan, Sichuan and Guanlong these years. But what I am talking about now is the issue of marching, and what I am talking about is that we cannot afford the money and food to conquer."
Han Qi'an immediately asked: "I wonder where else the king wants to conquer?"
"Don't be nervous, I can't conquer anywhere." Li Xia said: "I just got the news from the north. Kublai Khan has almost completely pacified the Mobei grassland, Brother Yixiang has reoccupied Hara and Forest, and Hedan has begun to march westward.
Bali, chasing Ali Bu Ge. But Kublai Khan himself still stayed in Kaiping, and ordered Zheng Ding to garrison Shanxi, Henan and other places in Xilamangu."
"In this case, we would like to ask the king why he still trains these one hundred warriors himself?"
Originally, everyone regarded the selection camp as Li Xia's personal pastime, but what Li Zhaocheng and Yang Qixin saw today clearly scared them.
They couldn't help but completely turned against the matter.
"It's not a secret." Li Xia had already thought about it this month, so he answered very frankly, "I invited Aruhu or Alibu to form an alliance with me. It's that simple..."
