Chapter Mutual Compromise
After the Mongolian Yuan lost Jiangnan and Lianghuai successively, the imperial court relied more on the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas, and Shanxi was closer to Dadu and Shangdu, which was also a must-pass route for the Khan to travel between the two capitals. Therefore, most of the required supply was from Shanxi during the Shangdu period.
In the distance from the Central Plains, it is a chore in the eyes of many princes, powerful men and 100,000 soldiers. It is a chore in the eyes of everyone. He serves him tremblingly every day. If there is any inappropriateness, he will be scolded. Even worse, he will lose his official position and lose his life. However, He Weixian can do a good job, meet their various needs, so that no one can make any mistakes.
In addition to He Weixian's delicate mind and good at planning, An Tong also knew that it was mainly because he knew how to be a human being, and handled the relationship between the court and the palace and outside the palace well. He also had a self-knowledge, could put his position right, not compete for merit with his new favorites, and not be too close to his old friends. He did not show any mountains or water on weekdays, but he felt it was very inconvenient without him.
Think about how he would be lost when He Weixian was forced to leave the center and work in the local area by being forced to work. When An Tong and others thought he would sink, they did not expect that he would be calm and did not complain or ask for help from their old colleagues who were still in high positions. They felt guilty and turned a blind eye to the small mistakes they made, or covered them up for him.
Li Siyan and the others looked down on him. Thinking about the He family who surrendered as early as Genghis Khan, he made great contributions to the Mongolian Yuan and was named the Marquis of Shi. He ignored his surrendered ministers in the previous dynasty and was trusted by the king and was successful. If He Weixian had not shown mercy at night in the inner court, how could he have achieved great success today?
"I still know something about what Li Zuocheng said. Shanxi Xuanwei Department is responsible for the important task of supplying Khan to the Kung Fu in Shangjing, and some materials need to be purchased from the Southern Dynasties. What's so strange about dealing with merchants in the Southern Dynasties? In order to deliver the needs to be delivered to Shangjing as soon as possible, he asked me to clear the checkpoints in various places for him." Before An Tong could speak, Korigis defended him.
"That's right, the old slave can also clarify for He Xuanfu Envoy." At this time, Fang Chenyou also bowed to Tiemur, "There is a shortage of materials in the capital, especially the delay in the return of the Khan to the south in the past two years. The poor food and grass were all solved by He Xuanfu Envoy raising and dispatching from it. The jewelry and gold utensils that the Khan rewarded the princes and the fine wines for the feast all came from the Southern Dynasties, and they were all found through many troubles, so they naturally inevitably interacted with merchants in the Southern Dynasties."
"Well, since that's the case, it's not a big deal, so there's no need to pursue it!" Tie Muer nodded, and he also knew that there were a few civil and military officials in the court, and the sect kings and nobles who had no connection with the merchants of the Southern Dynasties, and everyone was just a tacit understanding. Li Siyan's use of such a thing as a crime was really difficult to convince the public, and if he pursued it, it would make the ministers dissatisfied.
"The Khan, when he went to Beijing, the Southern Dynasties began to invade north. Shanxi was a key place to defend the capital, and there were also the Nansan Xings as the passage to Jin. He Xuanwei envoy requested to issue bows and arrows to the Han army, and it was foresight that the Song army entered Jin from Taihang Xing. It was precisely because the Shangshu Province misjudged the situation that the soldiers guarding the pass were forced to surrender without weapons, and the relevant people should be held accountable!" The Chief Censor Cui Yu reported at this time.
"Khan, this matter is just following the rules, and there is nothing wrong with it." Li Siyan immediately defended himself after hearing this.
"So am I wrong, or am I blinded?" Tie Muer frowned and asked back. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. The Secretariat's memorial was signed by himself, and the root of the chase was still with him. This kid is really uneasy. Could it be that he was wrong?
"The Khan is wise, it is the fault of the minister!" Li Siyan heard the words with anger and immediately realized that he had made a mistake. Even if he made mistakes, it could not be the Khan's fault. He could only take the blame.
"Okay, don't report such incidents in the future, and do not report any evidence. The most urgent task is how to stop the enemy troops entering Jin from entering and then annihilate them!" Tie Muer waved his hand and said helplessly, and he had a headache again. At this time, he understood why his father Khan had a headache. It turned out that these things were all causing trouble.
"Khan, the Southern Army is approaching the capital, and it is difficult to mobilize troops to aid Jin, and it is impossible to reach it in a short time. I think a general can be sent to Jin to command the army and drive him out of Shanxi while the enemy has not yet established a foothold." Seeing that the Khan did not want to pursue this matter again, Korigis turned around.
"What the envoy said is that at present, the military names of Hedong and Shanxi are complicated and do not lead each other. It is necessary to command each army and unify the orders!" An Tong said at the end.
"Yeah!" Tiemuer nodded, knowing that what he said was true.
After destroying the Jin Dynasty, Mu Huali withdrew from the Central Plains. Ogedei Khan ordered the five generals of the explorer Ma Chi Army to separate the Central Plains and "guard everywhere". After copying 720,000 Han people, he issued a decree to enfeoff ministers who had made meritorious destruction of Jin, and gave three thousand households to the five generals of the explorer Ma Chi Army.
During the Zhiyuan period, Kublai Khan joined forces in Shanxi and used various troops to complete the army. In addition to sending Wanhufu to guard the town, he ordered the Han army, the coercion army and the sign-in civilians to surrender to Xijing and Xuande stationed. In the Zhiyuan period, the Yuan court also mobilized 5,000 new affiliated troops in Jiangnan to station in Taiyuan.
During the middle of Kublai Khan's reign, after he seized the military power of the Han generals, although he followed the established system at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and continued to place various Han troops in Shanxi under the command of Wanhu Prefectures in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, and took military actions on the right direction, but he left the Han troops of Wanhu Prefectures in Shanxi, Hedong, and Shanxi, Aolu, stationed in Shanxi, Shanxi, and did not follow the army.
The adoption of such military measures in the front line troops and the rear Aolu districts will help to firmly control the conquering troops in Shanxi, and prompt the Han troops in Hedong and Shanxi to play a more effective role in the expedition. The Yuan court also abolished all the Aolu officials and ordered the civilian officials to take charge. As a result, the chief officials of all the prefectures, prefectures and counties in Shanxi were all the positions of the Aolu.
After that, the Yuan court transferred Zhongyiwei to establish a military farmland office in Shanxi, and dealt with military farmland in Datong, Longxing, Taiyuan, Pingyang and others, and cultivated barren fields. The Wuwei also transferred thousands of homes to separate the right and left military farmland, and to cultivate farmland in Hongcheng area. Later, Zhenjin was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the guards' personal army, and still led military farmland affairs in Shanxi.
Therefore, in the Hedong area of Shanxi, there are the Mongolian Explosive Ma Red Army, the garrison army under the jurisdiction of the Wanhu Mansion of the Privy Council, the Georu Army under the local prefectures, and the Khan's personal guards. So many armies that do not belong to each other are arranged to allow them to supervise and control each other to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
This arrangement naturally has no problem in peacetime, but it is troublesome in wartime. Everyone has superiors, and they are not subordinate to each other, and no one can command each other. It is also difficult to coordinate and command, and the war cannot be fought. Now, only by setting up generals to unify command and coordinate the various ministries, the war can continue.
"Khan, I recommend He Weixian as the chief supervisor of Shanxi Road." Kurigis asked, "The Zuoyi Guards' personal army followed the Khan to conquer the northwest and made extraordinary achievements. They also participated in the Suhu school every year. They are well-trained and have the highest combat power in Shanxi. Moreover, He Weixian was in charge of the Shanxi Xuanwei Department for many years, and was in charge of the war and tranquil rebellion. He has made great achievements in his post. He is the chief supervisor and will definitely be able to resist the enemy outside Jin."
"Khan, He Weixian has indeed made contributions to the court, but our dynasty is to lead the army with Mongolians and Semu people, and there are still doubts that cannot be found out. If he really colluded with the Southern Dynasties, wouldn't he betray the country and the king?" Li Siyan opposed it.
"Li Zuocheng, I know you and He Xuanfushi have a slight rift, but in this time of danger, don't use personal grudges to save others, and don't use those false things to frame them!" Buhu Mu frowned and said dissatisfied.
"The Right Prime Minister, the lower-ranking officials have always cared about the court, and have always been in line with things and people, and will not be mixed with personal grudges!" Li Siyan said with a sneer.
"Even if Li Zuocheng is fair in his work and has no selfish intentions, our dynasty has not been led by Han generals. Back then, Kublai Khan used Zhang Hongfan as the commander to attack Song and seized half of the southeastern country. Why can't He Weixian be the commander to resist the Southern Dynasty? Wouldn't your words disappoint the Han generals in the world?" Kurigis said solemnly.
"You..." Li Siyan was so angry that she blushed with her neck, but she was unable to produce any real evidence. She whispered a few times and couldn't speak.
"Okay, don't argue anymore." Tiemur was so upset by the arguments among the people that he waved his hand, "Daluhua Chisuge, Wanhu Prefecture in Shanxi, Hedong, Shanxi, is the chief military affairs of the Marshal, and Shanxi Xuanwei Envoy He Weixian as the second official to assist in military affairs. He expelled the army into the southern Shanxi as soon as possible to protect the capital without worries!"
"Yes, follow the sages!" An Tong sighed, and Korigis and others glared at Li Siyan. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only obey their orders.
"Since there is no objection, then I will send the order quickly and not delay it!" Tie Muer said tiredly, "Now the Southern Army has entered the hinterland of Hebei in two directions. What are the good strategies for all the ministers to defeat the enemy?"
"Khan, the Song army is coming fiercely, but now the canal is frozen, and they can only transport grain by land, and they will not last long. Therefore, our dynasty should gather troops to defend the important place and suppress the enemy's offensive momentum. At the same time, the capital must prepare for war to prevent accidents. In addition, quickly transfer to Liaodong, Lingbei Grassland Army and the guards stationed in Shangjing to the south to serve the king. When the enemy is tired, they will launch a counterattack and drive the enemy back to the south of the Yangtze River!" An Tong said first.
"Zhending Prefecture is 500 miles away from the capital, and it is the final way to enter the capital and a place that military strategists in history have fought for. Although its city has been disrepair for a long time, its foundation is solid and can be a fundamental place to resist the enemy's northward journey." Kurigis said, "Although Zhang Gui is now ordered to lead troops to defend, the garrisons in various places have not been fought for a long time, and their training is lax, so it may be difficult to last."
"Hmph, don't excuse him anymore!" Tiemur was angry when he heard this. It was a grace that he would not pursue his previous sins, and he would never let him lead the army alone again.
