The house leaked and it rained all night. At this juncture, a strange force suddenly occupied Dengzhou Mansion. In normal times, he would have sent troops to retake Dengzhou Mansion. Li Fen felt that he had been extremely unlucky recently.
After all, paper cannot cover fire. Although the Li family firmly controls Shandong Province, the Mongols are not ignorant of what is happening within the territory. Since 1217, the Mongols have changed their tradition of only attacking and not defending.
.
A Tanma Red Army composed of five elite troops, namely Ulu, Mangwu, Hongjila, Yiqilesi, and Zhalayi'er, was officially born. It assumed the main tasks of vanguard and garrison when Muhuali was marching through the Central Plains.
With the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Tanma Red Army became a garrison force. The generals guarding the area under the jurisdiction of the Li Group were Kuo Kuo Bu Hua. In addition to guarding, the Tanma Red Army was also responsible for suppressing internal rebellions, monitoring and intimidating the Han people.
.
Kuokuo Buhua was guarding Yidu, Jinan, and the Li family often went to worship the giant Buddha. With careful management, the relationship between the two parties was very close. There was no problem in delaying the Dengzhou Prefecture incident for a few days, but it couldn't be delayed.
too long.
Five days had passed since the Fuxing Society occupied Dengzhou Prefecture. Li Fen couldn't sit still and couldn't help but go to his mother Yang Miaozhen to discuss countermeasures.
As one of the four great nobles in the Central Plains, Li was a retainer in name and a local warlord in reality. The buildings built by the Li family were naturally extremely luxurious, with pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, rockeries, rocks, small bridges and flowing water.
After Li Fen finished handling the day's affairs, he hurried home to discuss countermeasures with his mother. He would not be able to let go until the matter in Dengzhou Prefecture was resolved.
As Li Fen grew older, Yang Miaozhen gradually retreated to the second line and entertained her grandchildren every day, leading a very leisurely life. However, Li Fen would still seek her advice when encountering major issues.
Backyard, martial arts training ground.
Yang Miaozhen took her two grandchildren and one granddaughter to practice martial arts. When she saw Li Fen looking in a hurry, her face darkened.
"Songshou (characterized by Li Fen), how many times have I told you that you need to calm down when encountering big things. How can I let my mother trust you and leave the family property to you if you are like this!"
Li Fen did not dare to contradict his mother, but he did feel a little embarrassed. He quietly lowered his head and prepared to listen to his mother's teachings. Unexpectedly, Yang Miaozhen did not continue to preach today, but changed the topic.
"Xian'er, Zu'er, and Ling'er, we'll finish training here today. Your father and I have something to discuss, so you should go back first!"
When the three little ones heard this, they immediately stopped practicing and saluted Yang Miaozhen.
"Yes! Auntie! Grandson resigns!"
…………
"Yes! Auntie! Grandson resigns!"
Yang Miaozhen nodded lightly, and the three of them bowed to Li Fen and left.
In the study, Li Fen calmed down a little after the warning just now. After the two of them sat down, he spoke calmly.
"Mom, it's been five days since the thieves occupied Dengzhou Mansion. Should we report it to Kuo Kuo Bu Hua as soon as possible? If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid something will happen to the child."
Li Fen frowned when he spoke. Today is different from the past. Their backer has fallen. Although the Timugeot Chijin family is still continuing, its reputation is not as good as before. Timugeot Chijin is the younger brother of Genghis Khan.
Before committing the rebellion, he was very prosperous.
With the conclusion of the father-in-law's case, the decline of the Temugeor Chijin family is inevitable. In addition, they have been deeply involved in internal strife recently. If Tachaer fails to inherit the throne in the end, they will lose all their previous investments.
All wasted.
At such a critical juncture, Li Fen thought to himself that he must not let go of the truth, otherwise if the Mongolian upper-level officials intervened, Li would not be far behind. In fact, he suspected that this strange force was most likely supported by the left-wing kings.
Yang Miaozhen glanced at Li Fen with a faint look, and sighed silently in her heart.
'This child, alas!'
In the past two days, Yang Miaozhen gradually came back to her senses, and most of the worries in her heart were relieved. She originally thought that her son would be able to see it, but she didn't expect that the child still didn't understand.
"Songshou, I want to ask you, how long do you think Song Ting can survive the Mongols' attack?"
Li Fen looked at his mother in surprise. He didn't know why her mother asked this question for no reason. However, he had been bathed in his mother's majesty for a long time. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still expressed his opinion.
"In my opinion, if the internal fighting in the Golden Family can be ended quickly, and all the energy is gathered to prepare for the attack on Song Dynasty, and vigorously develop the navy, once the navy is formed, the Song Dynasty will not be able to survive for five years!"
"It's just that there are many internal conflicts in Mongolia now. Putting aside the fight between the Great Khan's mother and son, the Muchi, Tuo Lei and Great Khan lines are not all without their dirty laundry."
"If the internal fighting continues, I won't be sure. After all, although the Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses are weak, there is no shortage of money and food. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it will be to them. The Jin Kingdom can learn from the past."
Yang Miaozhen nodded with satisfaction and said calmly.
"good."
"But the first situation you mentioned is difficult to realize. It has only been three generations since the founding of Mongolia by Genghis Khan. Many things are still the same as usual. Batu, the leader of the left-wing kings, has almost escaped the control of the central government since he established the Golden Horde.
, trying to get them all to work together is as difficult as going to heaven!"
"In my opinion, even if Guiyu Khan wins the final victory and gathers the strength of all the ministries, the Song Dynasty can still last for ten years."
She paused after saying this, glanced at Li Fen, and seeing his thoughtful look, she nodded slightly, and then continued.
"Looking at history books, the world can be conquered immediately, but it cannot be ruled immediately. The Mongols are nomadic people, and their ideas are not suitable for governing the Central Plains!"
"Mencius said, I have heard of people using Xia to convert barbarians, but I have never heard of people converting barbarians to barbarians. If the Mongols want to govern the Han land, they must implement Han laws. To implement Han laws, they must use Han people. I, Li Shi, have been managing the capital for decades.
Who else would Shandong be than me?"
The mother's words were as shocking as those of Huang Zhongdalu, causing huge waves in Li Fen's heart.
"This...this..."
For a moment, Li Fen was speechless, and Yang Miaozhen sighed softly.
"Although this is the truth, who knows what the future will be like. What we have to do is to manage our three-acre land well. Kuo Kuo doesn't want to spend it. You can go there in a few days. The news has not spread.
Don't be in a hurry before you come back, Tacha'er's matter is the top priority, my son must remember not to mix priorities!"
Li Fen came back to his senses and bowed deeply to his mother. After this conversation, he felt reassured and was no longer as frightened as before.
"yes!"
"Haier, I'll go back to the government office right now. Boy, please leave!"
"Go for it!"
Yang Miaozhen waved her hand, and Li Fen slowly exited the study. During the process, Yang Miaozhen kept staring at him until Li Fen disappeared from her sight for a long time, and then she looked away.
"well!"
A sigh sounded faintly in the study, and the complicated emotions in Yang Miaozhen's heart finally turned into this sigh.
