"Claim the emperor, practice the Han law, open the branch and take the ......"

Kublai Khan's brows were twisted, and now more than half of the reason for the division of Greater Mongolia is actually because of the "Han Law". In the eyes of most members of the Golden Family, Kublai Khan's behavior was too Sinic—he spoke Chinese, liked to live in the city, read many Confucian classics and the Han art of war, and was surrounded by a bunch of Han Confucians.

However, this qiē is not the most disgusting to the big names of the Golden Family. In fact, Kublai Khan was not the only one who lost the golden family of Mongolian traditions. Mongolia's cultural heritage was so poor that it didn't even have a written language before Genghis Khan. When the Great Khan passed on a decree, he had to first compile a song so that the officials who delivered the decree could sing it well, so that they would not forget it. Such a cultural heritage is, of course, easy to assimilate by the culturally leading peoples. In a sense, clinging to Mongolian traditions is clinging to backwardness. The characters of the Golden Family are not stupid, so they naturally know these truths.

However, there is one biggest difference between the law of the Han people and the law of the Turks, Tianfangjiao, Lamaism, and Christianity - the Han law has a very persistent pursuit of great unification! However, the basis of the Great Mongolian state government system was the feudal system. If Kublai Khan had become the Great Khan and had implemented Han law, it would have been possible to "cut down the feudal domain" in the future. Although it may not be possible to cut down the feudal domain of the kings of the Western Dao sect, who have a vast territory and countless subjects. But Kublai Khan would at least seek a unified "Great Khan's Empire" that would include the Mongol proper, the four kings of the host country, the Urus, and the northern Han region.

At the same time, Kublai Khan would also turn this "Great Khan Empire" into his own property, rather than the common property of the Golden Family, according to the laws of the Han Chinese. The future Great Khan will be hereditary by the descendants of Kublai Khan, not by the Golden Family.

This is tantamount to depriving the other members of the Golden Family of their "shares" in the Central Ulus! It is not surprising that Kublai Khan was thus disgusted by members of the Golden Family. The status of the family was similar to that of the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire. It was possible to elect an emperor (Great Khan), but Kublai Khan became a vassal king who had no right to touch the central power. If not, it is really out of reach. It is estimated that these vassal kings will let Kublai Khan be kept in captivity as pets......

As for how many Confucian books Kublai Khan himself read, there were several Han Confucian scholars around him as advisers, all of whom had nothing to do with other members of the Golden Family, and would not have been opposed by so many people.

Historically, with the exception of Kublai Khan's own "sealed" Hulegu (Kublai Khan, in order to gain Hulegu's support, gave him Persia and Dashi as a khanate), almost all the Mongol khans who owned the Ulus opposed Kublai Khan. This guy is so hated because he is trying to form a unified, hereditary "Great Khan Empire". And Yan zhòng violated the interests of most of the Mongol kings!

And Kublai Khan would do so, except that the "Han law" was very beneficial for expanding and maintaining the power of the king. It was to gain the support of the middle and upper strata of the Han (commonly known as the landlord class intellectuals), so as to squeeze out the power of the Han land in the north to the greatest extent, and at the same time to resolve the will of the middle and upper strata of the Song State in the south to resist......

Therefore, Hanfa is a double-edged sword for Kublai Khan. If there was no Han law, he would be the second Meng Ge, who could be elected Great Khan more smoothly, but could not establish the Meng Yuan Dynasty, let alone destroy China.

And now Kublai Khan. The situation is far more difficult than it was historically. The original Great Mongol state and the basis of Kublai Khan's rule, military force, have now proved to be inferior to the newly rising Chen Dexing.

And after the Great Mongol force showed its weakening, the Han marquis, the basis of Kublai Khan's rule over the northern Han land, also diverged. Yidu Li Pu, whose strength ranks first among the Han Hous, has openly raised the anti-flag! Zhang Rong in Jinan, Li Gao in Xuzhou, Zhang Bangzhi in Pizhou and others have already raised troops in response. Shi Tianze, Dong Wenwei, Li Yinuge and Dai Quxue and others have ambiguous attitudes.

Although Li Pu's reaction after raising troops was as sluggish as in history. did not attack Yan Yun with superior forces. Instead, he was wasting time negotiating with the Han and Hou forces of all parties and co-opting them to rebel together. However, due to the existence of the Chen-Li Alliance, Kublai Khan was powerless to extinguish Li Pu. I can only watch him dig into his own corner!

Faced with such a situation. If Kublai Khan is not willing to sit idly by, then he will have no choice but to take risks. Take more radical and risky measures.

Kublai Khan had to gamble his life! Going to the camp of Ali Buge is a gamble! Called the emperor, practice Han law. It's also a big gamble!

If his "sinicization" did not win the support of the middle and upper classes of the Han people in the north, it made him lose the love of the Mongols. Then he and the Great Mongolian Kingdom will be doomed!

"But I often hear people say: Liao is to be released, and Jin is to be destroyed!"

Kublai Khan was silent for a long time, and then he spoke the lesson of the abolition of the Liaojin and Jin dynasties. This is not Kublai Khan's summary, but the common cognition in the northern Han society at the time of the death of Jin and Mengxing.

The defeat of the Jurchen is because of the obedience to Confucianism and the loss of the Jurchen's brute nature!

When Yao Shu heard this, he glanced at Liu Bingzhong beside him. Yao Shu said with a smile: "If the Jurchen law is feasible, why should Xizong, Shizong, and Zhangzong practice the Han family system?" Although Jin died as a Confucian, after all, there was the rule of Dading and Mingchang, which were all due to the credit of Hanfa Confucianism. ”

Liu Bingzhong said: "If you don't practice Han law now, the Liaodong Jurchens will enter the Eight Banners, the Han Marquis in the north will belong to Li Pu, and the Great Khan will only have more than 100,000 Mongolian warriors, can you really use them to destroy Li?" ”

Kublai Khan sighed: "It turns out that Jin Xinghan Law, respecting Confucianism is a last resort!" ”

Kublai Khan asked the same question more than a decade ago, when he only saw the death of Jin Yiru as a lesson. Now I know that it was because the Jurchen force was weakened, and I had no choice but to give in to the Doctor of the Northland!

It is the Jurchen who weakens the force first, and the Han law and Confucianism come later!

Now, due to the rise of Chen Dexing and Li Pu, Mongolia's armed forces have weakened relatively speaking. Without overwhelming force, the Mongols would naturally have to rely on scholars if they wanted to maintain their rule in the Central Plains.

Of course, practicing Han law and respecting Confucianism may not be able to help Kublai Khan revitalize the situation. But if you don't do that, it's definitely a dead end!

"If Mongolia doesn't obey, what can it do?" Kublai Khan pondered and asked.

As far as he is concerned, as long as he can defeat Chen and destroy Li and dominate the world, it doesn't matter what law he practices or what religion he respects! But the Mongols on the steppe may not be willing to sell the Hanfa account.

Yao Shu replied: "With Mongolia and Confucianism, Confucianism and Han, Mongolia as the foundation, and Han Confucianism as the supplement." Mongolia and scholars share the world! ”

Kublai Khan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Let me think about this matter again, and when I solve Ali Buge, I will make a decision!" ”

……

Liaodong, so Gaizhou, Jian'an abandoned city.

It was now the fourth day after the Battle of Zhuangshui, and for four days, Chen Dexing's army was constantly pursuing the defeated troops of Tachar's army day and night. It was not until noon today that Chen Dexing's Chinese army marched into the abandoned city of Jian'an and issued an order to rest for a day.

Although it was daytime, the whole city was like a sleeping city, except for a few people who were still with their eyes open, and most of them were sleeping soundly.

As the commander of the three armies, Chen Dexing was patrolling the city with Zhao Fu at this time - he had already taken a nap in a carriage on the way to Jian'an Abandoned City, and now he could still suppress his sleepiness and discuss with Zhao Fu the strategy of governing Liao after defeat.

Tachar had already suffered a crushing defeat, and he had won more than 15,000 heads in the Battle of Zhuangshui alone! There were also as many as 8,000 prisoners, and in addition to Hong Fuyuan's department, there were also more than 1,000 Mongolian prisoners. In the past few days, as many as 2,000 beheadings and prisoners have been reported one after another! It's just that he didn't get the head of Tachar and Huotu, and Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing were nowhere to be found.

However, even if Tachar, Huotu and others were not caught, it would be a decisive victory.

Tachar's elite suffered heavy losses, and in the future, at most, they would retreat to the grasslands of northern Liaobei to confront Chen Dexing, and strategically switch from offensive to defensive. The Liaodong Peninsula, the Goryeo Peninsula and even the Liaoxi Corridor are all very likely to be captured by Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing's idea of founding Liaodong will soon be realized. But starting a country is much more complicated than building an army! A country has to face complex problems from all sides, and the military is only one aspect, and all aspects such as politics, economy, education, and diplomacy are almost as important as the military. And at the beginning of a country's establishment, it is also the time to create various fundamental systems. The systems created at this time are often far-reaching, sometimes lasting hundreds of years.

If not properly arranged, it can become a legacy that will last for centuries, and sometimes the root cause of the country's demise. For example, the Great Song Dynasty's Wenyuwu, the Ming Dynasty's Wenyuwu and military household system, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners were the fundamental systems of the country, which made the country strong and prosperous for a certain period of time, and later became the reason for the decline of the country.

And the root of all important institutional arrangements is the distribution of interests!

The key to the country's fundamental institutional arrangements is how to distribute the benefits of a country so that a sufficient number of people can become the basis for the maintenance of the regime, and at the same time lead the whole country to a positive and progressive path.

Now that Chen Dexing has the conditions for the founding of the country, he naturally began to arrange various systems that will affect the country for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, now that the land and population under the rule of the Northland Recruitment Division are increasing, it is necessary to set up state capitals, counties, jurisdictions, and collect taxes...... Cultivating the foundation. ”

Zhao Fu crossed his fingers and told Chen Dexing about the various things that would be implemented one by one. In the past, although Chen Dexing had a very big name, what kind of recruiting division, what kind of festival envoy. However, the territory of governance is not large, that is, several small islands off the coast of Goryeo, as well as Tamsui City, Penghu Island and Yashan Island on Taiwan Island. In fact, the civil affairs that needed to be managed were very limited, and apart from the military, Tran's regime had little ruling base to speak of.

And now, Chen Dexing seems to be about to open Liaodong, and will enter Middle-earth in the future, so it is necessary to consider the foundation of the country's rule. (To be continued......)
