Chen Dexing walked quickly into the hall he set up in the Pingluan Heavenly Taoist Temple, which was actually the war room of a former enemy headquarters.

Zhang Shijie, Monk Liu, Wang Wei, Wang Lufei, Zhang Xizai, as well as Guo Kan, who had recently defected to him, and a group of staff officers of the General Staff Department who accompanied the conscription, have been waiting here for a long time. However, everyone else was waiting respectfully, only Zhang Shijie and Guo Kan were sitting next to a desk on the side, fiddling with a bunch of black and white chess pieces, obviously discussing the formation.

Seeing Chen Dexing striding over, a room full of generals and staff officers got up and saluted. Chen Dexing's brows furrowed slightly, obviously having something on his mind. Everyone understands in their hearts that what is going on now is the great war that will determine the rise and fall of the country, whether it is the Northern Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Tang Dynasty, or the Western Yuan, they have all done their best.

As the leader of Beiming, Chen Dexing should also be worried at this time.

Seeing that everyone had gathered in front of the map table in the center of the festival hall, Chen Dexing sighed slightly. originally thought that the battle was nine out of ten, but there were so many variables. It seems that it was the enemy who underestimated Kublai Khan's ability before.

In the era without him Chen Dexing, Kublai Khan was the real son of the plane!

But in the blink of an eye, he restrained his mind again, and slowly glanced at everyone: "The Mongols are mobilizing the Han people and grain and grass from various cities in Yanyun Province to Yanjing...... The message is very certain! As for the purpose of their doing this, the Lone King thought about it all night and felt that there were only two possibilities. The first is that the Mongols want to coerce our Han people to flee! The whole land under heaven is there, and Mongolia is extremely vast, and the population has been almost wiped out by themselves. So land was not worth much to Kublai Khan. What is valuable is the population, and only one or two million people can be plundered from the Han land. Even if he went to the Western Regions, Kublai Khan could still establish a country and claim hegemony.

Second...... It is very likely that Kublai Khan will kill all the Han people in Yanjing City in the face of unfavorable defeat! The Yanyun Province of the Yuan Kingdom had 2 million people in Dingtian. North of the Haihe River, there are up to 1 million. If Kublai Khan is allowed to kill hundreds of thousands, I am afraid that his vitality will not be restored in 20 years! ”

Guo Kan, who followed the Mongols to the west to conquer the Great Food Country and personally participated in the Baghdad massacre, also echoed: "My lord, according to the ministers, the matter of killing people and slaughtering cities has always been liked by the Mongols. When the ministers followed Hulegu to the west, they once slaughtered dozens of cities with the Mongols! ”

This guy turned out to be an executioner with his hands covered in the blood of the Great Cannibal people!

Chen Dexing nodded solemnly and said, "We must prevent the Mongolian dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, do you have any ways to deal with it?" ”

Guo Kan shook his head and said lightly: "People are in the hands of the Mongols." What else can be done? It's a big deal, I'll get it back ten times in the future...... However, the Mongols did not have a few million, and they were all killed. ”

Chen Dexing glanced at Zhang Shijie, and Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "King, you can't let the Mongols kill our people!" Chen Jianyì, immediately send troops to rush forward! To attack Yanjing, you can only attack Dongcheng and force the Mongols to go on their own. As long as the attack is urgent, they should not be able to kill hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"That's it!" Chen Dexing nodded.

"King, they can set fire to the grain!" Guo Kan interjected. "Hundreds of thousands of people, if there is no food, what will we feed them?"

"Zhang Xizai!" Chen Dexing shouted the name of the deputy military division, this Zhang Xizai is now the chief butler of the Northern Ming Eastern Expeditionary Army. All kinds of miscellaneous things are all in Zhang Luo.

Zhang Xizai pondered for a while and said, "You can buy grain from the Great Song Dynasty and transport it to Tanggu...... It's just that there are still 300 miles from Tanggu to Yanjing. ”

"With the Eight Banners to cover it, nothing will happen." Chen Dexing thought about it and commanded again. "You can also choose strong men from the refugees in Yanjing to serve as people's servants, so that the more than 50,000 soldiers who accompany the army can go back to farming as soon as possible. Next year's spring sowing will not be mistaken. By the way, how many people are there here in Pingluan? ”

"There are more than 28,000 households. More than 213,000 mouths. Guo Kan replied. He is the head of Pingluan Road in the Yuan Kingdom, and now Luanzhou in the Northern Ming Dynasty has not yet been established, so the affairs of Pingluan are managed by him and Zhao Fu.

"How many acres of land are there in Pingluan?"

"There are more than 1.2 million acres in the account books." Guo Kan said, "In fact, there are more, and more than 10,000 households who have moved from western Liaoning have been given land on the road, but they have not yet been cultivated." ”

Chen Dexing said: "Immediately arrange for people from western Liaoning to go out of the customs to eat, so that it can also reduce the consumption of grain and grass on the front line." While the weather was still warm, the sea was not frozen, and the navy ships were used to send them away. Don't go back to Liaoxi, but half of them go back to Liaoxi, and half of them go to Liaodong. The farmlands in western Liaoning also have to be redistributed, and there is no need to return them to their original owners. ”

In fact, there is no original owner, and the concept of property rights under Mongolian rule cannot be compared with that of the Great Song Dynasty at all. Theoretically, the land in western Liaoning belongs to the Urus of Hesar, and the Han people there are theoretically all serfs of the Xiangge, and they have no personal freedom, so how can they have property rights?

Therefore, the administrative secretary of the Beiming Dynasty can reallocate land and land to these Han people as needed. As for the principle of distribution, of course, it should be conducive to the implementation of the system of scholars. Shijue is not just a military nobleman and a military merit grant. This system is also the basis of local autonomy in Beiming. The Shijue is in the Northern Ming Dynasty, which is similar to the imperial examination family in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that the Shijue family is all in the beginning, with a small scale and a small population, and it can't be compared with the strong clans that are often hundreds or thousands. As a result, the rule of the nobles in the local area could only rely on the noble council and not on the clan.

Relying on the noble council and the gentry and gentry is also the national policy of the Northern Ming Dynasty. Therefore, every time the Northern Ming Dynasty occupied a place, they would move some scholars from Liaodong to settle down, which became the foundation of the Northern Ming Dynasty in the local area. At the same time, it is also necessary to relocate some local people to Liaodong as much as possible to settle down and allocate a certain amount of land and livestock. They were then encouraged to lease Shijue Grange to increase the agricultural population in Liaodong.

All in all, the system of scholars that Chen Dexing is now promoting is also a reorganization of Chinese society, at least northern Chinese society. With tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of nobles and nobles, a new social foundation was built.

……

'It's even a white slash! Liu Xiaoyuan looked up at the nine pillars erected high in front of Kublai Khan's gold-domed tent, and his heart suddenly brightened.

It turned out that Kublai Khan sneaked all the way not to hide the eyes and ears of the Northern Ming or Eastern Tang Dynasty - this was not necessary, even if the Northern Ming and Eastern Tang Dynasty spread their ears and eyes on the grassland, it was impossible to pass on the information in a short time, and there was no telegraph, Internet and wireless telephone in this era.

What Kublai Khan wanted to hide turned out to be the eyes and ears of the four kings of the Mongolian host! And now he has played the Nine Threads in a grand manner and set up a gold-domed tent, the purpose of which should be to let the four kings who were unprepared in advance come to the pilgrimage!

'This is to learn from Han Gaozu Youyun Mengze! Liu Xiaoyuan took a breath of cool air on the grassland, and while walking in the direction of the Jinding tent, he admired Kublai Khan in his heart.

This Kublai Khan's scheming and actions are also quite heroic! How decisive it was to kill Ali Buge before, and now he is taking advantage of the Battle of Yanyun and the opportunity of the four sect kings to move south to integrate the Ulus of the four sect kings! Moreover, in Yanjing, hundreds of thousands of Han people's lives were used to set a trap for the Northern Ming Dynasty......

"Liu An replied, Liu An replied, I can wait for you." Boyan was already standing outside the gate of the Jinding Tent at this time, and when he saw Liu Xiaoyuan coming on horseback, he hurriedly stepped forward.

Liu Xiaoyuan turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins to the servant, "What's wrong?" Boyan replied, what happened? How did you set up a big tent with a golden roof and make nine white sheets? ”

"These are all orders of the Great Khan, and they are for the four kings of the host country to see." Boyan pulled Liu Xiaoyuan and strode towards the golden tent. "The envoy of the four kings of the host has just arrived, and according to what he can say, the four kings have already set off and will soon come to the camp."

"Oh? Will they come? Liu Xiaoyuan thought, it was really Han Gaozu's trick to travel to the clouds! But...... With the lessons of Ali Buge before, the Mongol kings were reluctant to come to Kublai Khan in person. How could the Four Kings come? Aren't you afraid to call Kublai Khan to kill?

"How can you not come?" Bo Yan said with a smile, "The four sect kings are already desperate, the cattle and sheep have been slaughtered, and they will eat until next summer at most, if they can't possess the sixteen states of Yanyun, hundreds of thousands of people will starve." And the order you sent to the king of Moge was to send troops to block the passes of Juyong Pass and Yanshan! ”

"I see!" Liu Xiaoyuan nodded admiringly. Kublai Khan really did everything! Hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing City were the bait to lure Chen Dexing into the trap. The hundreds of thousands of people of the four kings of the host country are hostages who force the four kings to submit!

While the two were talking, they had entered the golden-roofed tent, which covered a wide area, separated by three spaces with screens, one was the place where Kublai Khan met guests; the second is the place where Kublai Khan studied the war situation and handled official business; The third is Kublai Khan's bedroom. The two went directly into the "office area" of the big tent, and Kublai Khan was looking at the map inside, waiting for a young Mongol beside him, who was Mu Huali's fourth grandson Antong, who was also Kublai Khan's brother-in-law. Although he is only 15 years old, he is already Kublai Khan's cowardly Xue Chang - in history, this master was a cowardly Xue Chang at the age of 13 and a prime minister at the age of 18, and Kublai Khan was really capricious enough to govern the country.

"Minister Liu Xiaoyuan, see His Majesty." Liu Xiaoyuan made a big salute, then took out the reply letter from the last brother and handed it over with both hands. An Tong took it and inspected the envelope, and after making sure that it had not been opened, he tore open the seal and took out the envelope inside, and handed it to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan took the raft and didn't look at it, he put it aside, but asked, "Xiaoyuan, how many people are in Yanjing City?" ”

"It's amazing, there are always hundreds of thousands!" Liu Xiaoyuan replied. "Many people don't have houses to live in, so they can only sleep on the streets, and all the temples and Taoist temples in the city are crowded with people. Great Khan, the hearts of the people of Yanyun are still in my hands! ”

Kublai Khan snorted: "What is not popular with the people, if Chen Dexing enters the city, these men will kneel down to welcome them again!" An Tong, give the prepared national letter to Liu Xiaoyuan. (To be continued......)
