"Your Majesty," Kublai Khan said with a slight smile.
Except for the supreme shaman Tsengiya, there was no one else who could directly enter and leave the palace hall without going through communication. What made Kublai Khan even more gratified was that Tsienjiya, who had always opposed the change of the country's name, actually
Instead of calling him the Great Khan, he changed his name to the Emperor. This clearly showed that Tsienjiya's attitude had completely changed and he began to support Kublai Khan's unification.
Cai Enjiya smiled calmly and said, "Jiya has met the emperor."
Yin Tianya on the side also followed and said: "Tianya has met the emperor."
"Okay, okay, my lords. It's been a hard journey." Kublai Khan was overjoyed when he saw that the two of them didn't recognize him. He said quickly, "My lords, please sit down."
You know, it is a great honor to be able to sit in the court meeting. It is like the Song Dynasty. Only the emperor's "teacher" Jia Sidao has the right to enjoy it.
Cai Enjiya did not refuse. After sitting down with Yin Tianya, he said: "My lords, I have been practicing in seclusion. I hope to reach the realm of a guardian. However, now is the time when our country is in danger. The firearms of the Southern Dynasty.
Sharp. No one can beat us. This is not an exaggeration. I have seen the power of muskets with my own eyes. Even with my martial arts, if faced with thousands of muskets, there is only one way to escape."
Although no one in the palace has ever seen Cienjiya's martial arts, everyone knows it. The shaman supreme in front of him has always been recognized by the Mongolian people as a peerless master. He is even better than Yin Tianya, who is known as the number one master in Mongolia.
A three-point victory. When I heard Cai Enjia say that he was not even an enemy of firearms, I suddenly felt worried.
At this point, Enjiya's eyes shone brightly. He glanced at Naiyan, Azhiji and others. He continued: "My lords, the current situation is quite unfavorable to our country. Perhaps, our country has encountered the situation since the founding of Genghis Khan.
The biggest crisis in history. When the situation is so serious, if everyone still has their own thoughts, it will only lead me to a place of no return."
With the prestige of the number one shaman, what Cienjiya said naturally aroused the vigilance of Naiyan and others. All the Mongolian nobles knew that Cienjiya never interfered in the government affairs and always acted impartially.
The reputation among various tribes within the clan is extremely high. Special features
Especially among the middle and lower class people, his reputation is even higher than that of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia. At this juncture, if he continues to oppose Kublai Khan, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of the Shaman Supreme and even the entire shamanism. What's more,
There is also the great enemy of the Southern Dynasty.
Naiyan and Ajiji looked at each other and then expressed their stance: "Everything must be obeyed by the Supreme Lord."
Cai Enjiya nodded and said with a slight expression on his face: "The enemy is ahead. Whatever you have in mind, please postpone it for the time being. From now on, all affairs in the court should be carried out around the central task of annihilating the Southern Dynasty. I, my lord,
Neither understand government affairs
He has no knowledge of military matters. However, the Emperor is a wise and wise man who is both civil and military. He will be able to lead everyone through this difficult situation and then unify the world. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now and go to the weapons inspection department to find a way to crack the firearms."
"Best regards, Your Majesty. Regards, Your Majesty."
As soon as everyone finished speaking, Cai Enjiya and Yin Tianya had disappeared into the hall.
"What a gentleman." Everyone thought in unison.
With the support of Cienjiya, Kublai Khan was refreshed and said loudly: "My dear friends, today's meeting will continue. Since the fall of Dali, the Southern Dynasty has sent out several armies to attack our country. The attack is fierce. First of all. In the battle at sea, our navy was defeated and Liu Aiqing was seriously injured; secondly, the Yinying Lei Department who rushed into the hinterland of our country was also a big worry. They also defeated five thousand Qie Xue led by Edu. However, fortunately, their fire bombs were also They have been exhausted; thirdly, the situation on the east and west roads is not bad. They are evenly matched for the time being; fourthly, although the middle road is intertwined, Bianliang has been lost. Our army is slightly at a disadvantage. Although our army in the middle road has gathered and we are facing The most elite troops, but all the firearms of the Southern Dynasties were concentrated in the middle. Coupled with Zhao Fu's personal visit, it put the most pressure on our middle army. It can be said that the victory or defeat of the middle army was the key to the entire Yuan and Song campaigns. At present, .Our army's strength is insufficient. If the Southern Dynasty navy lands on the coast of Shandong and joins Li Tingzhi, then our eastern side will be passive. The above is a summary of the current war situation. Everyone, do you have any good strategies for this?"
Naiyan and others knew nothing about military affairs and could only remain silent.
Hao Jingdao: "The emperor just said that the key point is the middle road. Weichen completely agrees with this point. To defeat the Song army in Dengzhou, how to restrain the opponent's firearms is the key. Therefore, Weichen believes that before finding a way to restrain the Nanyang army, the Nanyang army Don't act rashly for the time being to restrain the Song army in Dengzhou. In addition, elite troops should be mobilized from the garrisons in various places to trap Bianliang. Presumably, the Song army that goes deep into Bianliang alone will not be able to maintain its food and grass for long. As for the Southern Dynasty navy, which is good at water warfare, if The combat effectiveness of a forced landing will definitely be inferior to that of the army. Our new army can definitely fight it."
Wu Lianghetai praised: "It is what the emperor said. The old minister seconded the suggestion. The power of the Yinying Lei Department that penetrated deep into the hinterland of our country has been reduced after losing the fire bombs. All we need to do is to make the cities in various places tightly defended and send another cavalry force. The army can force him into a desperate situation."
All the ministers spoke eloquently about how to deal with the other Song armies except the middle route. But when it came to the firearms of the Song army in the middle route, they were all speechless and there was no solution.
Kublai Khan naturally understood this. He could only place his hope on Cienjiya and others.
"Wu Liang joins the platform and conveys my decree. The coastal navy is temporarily commanded by Liu Chen of Ten Thousand Households. We will wait until Liu Zheng Aiqing recovers from his injuries. We will send orders to most of the new troops. They will set out for Shandong tomorrow. Fighting will replace training. Emperor The teacher is right. The navy of the Southern Dynasty dared to land. It gave me an excellent opportunity to exercise the new army of the North Dynasty."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"As for the Yinying Lei Department, which general is willing to lead the army on the expedition?"
Yushi Timur, the imperial censor, came out and said: "I will protect you and protect you, and the commander of the guards will make General Dong Shixuan, and General Li Ting will lead the troops to suppress the bandits."
Wu Lianghetai said: "Generals Dong and Li are knowledgeable in the art of war and have strong martial arts skills. They can take on this position."
Of course Kublai Khan knew the capabilities of the two men. He immediately ordered: "Okay. Pass Dong Shixuan and Li Ting enter the palace."
As the emperor's bodyguard, Dong Shixuan, Li Ting quickly entered the hall: "The last general Dong Shixuan, the last general Li Ting will see the emperor."
"Two generals. I order you to lead the majority of the garrison's cavalry to have 5,000 men and to defeat 1,000 men. Go south today and annihilate the Yinying Lei tribe of the Southern Dynasty."
"Yes. I will obey the order."
That night, Cai Enjiya and Yin Tianya came to the palace again.
"Two adults, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cai Enjia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, after a day of careful research, it is not completely impossible to imitate a musket."
"Really?" Kublai Khan said excitedly upon hearing this.
Cai Enjiya nodded and said: "The design of the musket is exquisite. If there is no real object as a template, it would be difficult for us to imagine that there are such sharp weapons in the world. According to my judgment, today's swords, guns, swords and halberds are likely to be replaced by replaced by muskets."
Regarding the judgment of the trend of firearms, Cienjia should be regarded as the first person in the world to think that it will replace cold weapons. If I were not from later generations, maybe I would not have such insight at all.
Kublai Khan asked: "Sir, how much time will it take?"
"Your Majesty, the first sample can be produced in as little as one month or as slowly as three months."
"Okay, Lord Supreme. Regarding the development of muskets, I will fully support it. Give whatever you ask for. This time, I want to thank the two adults. But I don't know when Lord Supreme will return north." Since Cai Enjiya is no longer here Kublai Khan also changed his name to "I" to show respect to the two deities.
Yin Tianya said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Lord has decided to stay in Dadu for the time being to practice. He will return north after the gun has something to show for it."
Kublai Khan said happily: "That's great."
Just as he was talking, Cai Enjiya's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Your Majesty, please reach out and let me take your pulse and diagnose you."
Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, but he still stretched out his hand.
"Your Majesty, do you feel pain in your joints occasionally?"
"Exactly."
Cai Enjia sighed and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay. It didn't cause any complications."
Kublai Khan said: "Sir, what is it?"
"Your Majesty, this is gout. The ancients also called it the 'Emperor's Disease'. It is said that many famous generals, ministers and emperors in history suffered from this disease. This disease is mainly caused by fatigue. During the Southern and Northern Expeditions, they ate and slept in the open. It is easy to cause rheumatism to invade. After winning, there will be wine pools and meat forests, and beautiful women are like clouds. Therefore, it is called the disease of the emperor."
"I didn't expect there was such a name."
"Your Majesty, when simple gout attacks, you will feel severe pain. After the pain subsides, you will feel weak and weak all over the body. If it does not cause complications, it is not fatal. However, if the attacks become more and more frequent, it will not be possible. Tolerable.”
Although Yin Tianya also has medical skills, he is far inferior to Cai Enjiya. Then he asked: "Supreme Sir, how should I treat him?"
Cai Enjiya smiled faintly and said: "Either it is difficult to say. Easier or not. It all depends on the determination of the emperor."
Kublai Khan said: "Please express it clearly, Your Majesty."
"Can the Emperor give up drinking?"
"Quit drinking." Kublai Khan did not expect that the prescription given by Cainjia was to quit drinking.
"That's right, Your Majesty. The so-called wine and meat go through the intestines. You only need to be accompanied by vegetarian food. In addition, the Emperor has been practicing martial arts since childhood. There is no problem in living to be a hundred years old. Your Majesty, the country of Yuan Dynasty cannot do without you." Although Njiya's words were tepid, they had an irresistible power.
The habits of the Mongolians were to eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine. As the emperor, Kublai Khan was no exception. Kublai Khan thought for a long time. Although he did not answer in the end, he nodded silently.
