Chapter 905: Greater Ambition
Chapter 905: Greater Ambition
“Form your own think tank, known as the Kinren River Shogunate.
In 1251 AD, Kublai Khan's elder brother Mongke ascended the throne and became the Mongolian emperor, known as Emperor Xianzong of Yuan.
Mr. Kublai Khan, you have been ordered to take charge of the military and political affairs of the Han areas south of the desert.
During this period, you employed many Han aides and Confucian scholars, and also put forward the idea of a Central Plains dynasty system.
Most of the Han members appointed by you, Mr. Kublai Khan, are elites and virtuous scholars in Central China.
Most of them stayed in Mobei or the Jinlianchuan Prefecture in Mobei for a long time.
There were also a small number of famous Han scholars who were recalled or returned home because of their old age.
Of course, in addition to the Han people, you, Mr. Kublai Khan, naturally also employed your own people.
Senior Kublai Khan, you were courteous to the 'Golden Lotus River Shogunate' and other summoned members who had different backgrounds and purposes, and asked questions with an open mind, mainly listening and asking more.
Senior Kublai Khan, you are a very good leader, so many people follow you. "You are humble, do not hesitate to ask questions, and are willing to change and listen to others' opinions. This is very good.
Even if they are not one of our own, we can still use them and trust them. This is something that many people cannot do because they are not of our race and their hearts must be different.
This is not just talk, it is often the case.
"My little fairy, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must naturally recruit talents and treat them well. Only when you show sincerity will people follow you, right?" Kublai Khan smiled. In fact, it was not so easy to recruit Han people at the beginning.
Of course, it was not easy to recruit other people either, and that all had to be done slowly. And now he succeeded. Emperor Shizu of Yuan Dynasty, ancestor, not bad, not bad, he liked him.
Kublai Khan felt that he had done nothing wrong and that his life was worth it. Thousands of years later, people would still remember him and his name would be passed down through the ages.
"Of course, we should treat our own people better," Yongzheng also said. If you want to recruit talents, you can't act high and mighty. If you do that, no one will care about you.
Talented people also have some temper.
Many ancestors in front of the sky curtain agreed very much, especially those who served as staff for others.
When they follow someone, of course they have to see what kind of person he is. They can't just follow him casually.
Li Wu nodded but didn't respond.
He just continued, "In 1252 AD, Kublai Khan led his army to attack Yunnan. Two years later, he conquered Dali City and Yunnan was incorporated into the territory of Mongolia.
The success of the expedition to Dali demonstrated your military talent, Kublai Khan, and also helped you win the support of the Mongolian nobles in the future struggle for the Khanate.
If you have abilities, you have to show them to let others know. If other people don't know and keep it secret, that won't work.
Of course, if you don’t have lofty ambitions and just want to be idle, just ignore what I said,” Li Wu said that she wanted to be idle, and she was very satisfied with her current idle life.
The ancestors were silent about the words of the little immortal, especially those who were capable. They did not want to be idle, nor did they want to hide their abilities. However, sometimes they had not grown up yet and had to hide themselves.
The three of them could only agree with the little immortal's words, as they were all people with great ambitions!
"Senior Kublai Khan, you also attached great importance to the trip to Dali. Even twenty years later, you can still remember it clearly.
The battle was also compared to the Banjuni River Oath of your grandfather Genghis Khan.
It can be seen that it is really unforgettable.
Senior Kublai Khan, you implemented the "New Deal" in your jurisdiction, and the results were very good and won the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, but this inevitably infringed on the interests of the nobles who were wantonly conquering.
In addition, your power, Kublai Khan, is growing, which is bound to make your brother Mongke suspicious.
In addition, some nobles and ministers said bad things about you in front of Mengge every day. Mengge might not take it seriously at first, but after hearing it for a long time, he would become suspicious even if he trusted you.
As a result, the conflicts between you, Mr. Kublai Khan, and Mongke over Han policies and interests became increasingly serious and eventually broke out.
Well, how can I explain this? Even if the relationship was good before, it would change later. For example, in the royal family, it’s even more so. They fight to the death for that supreme position. What does that position represent? Power!
Who doesn't want to sit?
Not to mention the royal family, even in ordinary families, brothers and sisters would often quarrel over the distribution of property.
Unless there is only one child, there will be a lot of noise. But in ancient times, how could there be only one child? People would want to have ten or eight.
This made Wanyan Aguda and the other two silent. This was true. They used to have a very good relationship with their brothers and sisters, but later on, let’s not talk about this, it was all for their own interests.
When there is a conflict of interest, even if they are relatives, they will be killed.
Many of the ancestors in front of the sky curtain, especially those in the royal family, began to miss the past.
If you ask them whether they regret fighting, the answer is no. If they don't fight, then there is nothing.
Sometimes you have to fight.
"Hey, sometimes you have to fight even if you don't want to. Three seniors, please," Li Wu saw that the three of them were not in a good mood, so he raised his glass, thinking that it should make them think of something.
"Please, little immortal," the three of them raised their glasses to drink.
Li Wu continued, "In 1257 AD, Mengge ordered the governor of Shaanxi Province. Well, the name is too long, I don't remember it." Li Wu scratched his head awkwardly, "Three seniors, your names are too long, it's really hard to remember."
Seeing the little fairy in such a state, the three people and the ancestors in front of the sky curtain couldn't help laughing.
Especially the ancestors in front of the sky curtain, they could not remember the full names of the three foreign emperors on the sky curtain at all, but they still remembered the names. The little immortal said it so many times, if they couldn’t remember it, it would be really fatal.
"Anyway, I will send officials to Guanzhong to set up an examination office to check the revenues of Jingzhao and Henan.
Those ministers fabricated more than a hundred charges against the officials of the Henan Jinglüe Division and the Jingzhao Xuanfu Division, hoping to eliminate the officials trusted by you, Mr. Kublai Khan, and weaken your power.
Mr. Kublai Khan, you adopted Yao Shu's suggestion and sent your family to Karakorum, while you yourself went to meet Mongke.
When Mengge saw that Kublai Khan had come in compliance with the emperor's order, his anger turned into joy.
Mengge did not allow you, Kublai Khan, to explain the situation, but directly ordered an investigation. However, he still dismissed all the departments you set up, including the Xingbu, Anfu, Jinglüe Xuanfu, and Ducao departments, and forced you to hand over the power of the three regions of Xingzhou, Henan, and Shaanxi.
This test is to deal with you, Senior Kublai Khan, because we are afraid that your power is too great and will threaten him.
In fact, it is normal to do so, it is very common," Li Wu did not say more directly, how could they not know.
It's just fear.
Kublai Khan did not say anything. In fact, he did not feel very good about being suspected at that time, but it was understandable.
All these things are in the past. He is no longer the same person he used to be. He now has greater ambitions.
