"I asked you to see how to deploy troops." The emperor stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to the few names he had just written with his pen next to Xiangyang: "I asked you to see this."

Concubine Jia had a good eye. She stood up and walked to the map with the emperor. She saw the names of "Zheng Yunming", "Bai Yijie", "Wang Deng", "Yang Xuan" and other names under the Emperor Zhongzheng's calligraphy.

"These are all the young heroes who Wei Leweng went to Jinghu to supervise the battle and searched for Jinghu." The emperor said slowly: "I hope that there are really a few pillars among these people to defend the border area for the country. That is the best."

Concubine Jia did not recognize any other name, only Zheng Yunming's name was firmly remembered. She smiled and said to the emperor, "Is the youngest son of Mr. Zheng's family in Xiangyang now?"

"That's right." The emperor also smiled at Jia: "He is now the deputy governor of Jing and E, and he has a large army of ten thousand people. How long has he been to Jinghu? Within ten years, this child will definitely become the commander of the commander of Jinghu. If there are a few more Zheng Yunmings among the ministers and nephews, then what else can I worry about?"

Jia naturally understood who the emperor was referring to. She said softly: "Everyone has his own blessing. The young master of the Zheng family was added with his eyes by His Majesty, and his blessing was due to his blessing. With His Majesty's protection, he could rise to the top in the local area..."

The emperor frowned: "Don't always think that I favored him. This kid is training soldiers and selecting generals in Jinghu, fighting with the Hu people, and being calm in offense and defense. That is his natural courage, coupled with the subsequent training. If he doesn't have such skills, no matter how I promote him, can he defeat Mongolia?"

He asked again: "Now let Sidao lead the army alone, can he retreat independently like Zheng Yunming?"

Jia was a little panicked. Jia Sidao was the only son of her father Jia She, and she also loved this young and smart younger brother very much. Now the emperor actually wanted to send this treasure brother to the front line to fight with the Mongols. The soldiers were fierce and dangerous. If there was any damage, how could he be worthy of his father in the Nine Springs? He immediately knelt down and said, "I don't understand military affairs, but I also know the allusions of Zhao Kuo. Now Sidao is so young, he has to hurriedly lead his troops to retreat the enemy. This is a joke for the country. This is both a disaster for Sidao and a disaster for the country. I would rather die in front of His Holiness than hold such an important position in a rash manner, which will cause His Majesty's military and horses to be damaged."

Seeing her serious statement, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "I'm just an example. Zheng Yunming's ability to lead the army before he could dry his breasts is a talent from heaven. You forgot that Zheng Qingzhi once presented me with the "Classic of the World" written by his son, which talked about the 60 or 70 countries except the dynasty, the Jin people, and Mongolia. They all listed the number of soldiers, geography, folk customs and products. They have had such ambition since childhood, so how could they be compared to the Tao?"

Concubine Jia raised her head and said, "Si Dao does not need to take the same path as others. As long as he can use his little talent and do his best for His Majesty. I don't expect him to be a marquis and minister in the future. As long as he can get a seat in the court, don't insult the reputation of the old man."

The emperor sighed and said, "Get up first."

He looked at the beauty with tears in his eyes, and his heart softened. He said, "You are thinking too much. Jia Sidao is talented and will definitely not be a talent in the future. Put him in the place and train hard. If he has not had any talent in time, he will lose to the son of the Zheng family. At that time, he will put him in the position of Lianghuai System to guard Huaidong for me, Zheng Yunming will be in charge of Jinghu, and then train a son of a noble and noble to guard Shu, and my country will be as safe as Mount Tai."

He gently grabbed Concubine Jia's jade hand, which was slightly trembling due to excitement, and put it in his palm: "At that time, I and you can wander among the mountains and rivers of West Lake every day, be a pair of fairy couples, and no longer have to worry about worldly affairs."

Concubine Jia raised her head and a happy smile appeared on her face, as if the lotus flowers bloomed in the dark night, intoxicating the emperor's thoughts in the magnificent future picture.

How long does it take to wait for such a happy world?

Song Yichang tightly wrapped the sheepskin robe on his body. The leather robe in Mobei was different from that in the Central Plains. The Hu people did not understand the technique of making animal skins by nitrogen, but only knew how to wipe the new skin with sheep blood. The sheep blood penetrated into the skin and showed a disgusting black-brown color, and there was a strong smell of blood when it smelled.

People in the pass often say that the stinking body of the Hulu probably refers to the smell of leather jackets.

If it were in the south, although Song Yichang was not a person with a cleanliness, he would probably avoid this blood-stained leather robe. But now he would rather cage another layer outside the robe.

The wind in the desert in the middle of the night erodes the skin like a sharp knife. It is said that the cold rain in the south of the Yangtze River moistens into the muscles and bones, but I don’t know that the cold wind outside the frontier blew on the face and frost. Where can I allow you to penetrate into the bone marrow? The cold directly enters your limbs and bones. If you are not careful, you will die in the vast darkness.

Song Yichang squatted down beside the fire, trying hard to lean on the fire with a little warmth, hoping to feel a little temperature. Hao Jing couldn't help laughing when he looked at his embarrassed look.

"Mr. grew up in the warm south of the Yangtze River and naturally felt uncomfortable with the cold wind in the north of the Mobei." He sat down beside Song Yichang: "But Mr., you must know that it is precisely because of the cold wind in the north of the Mobei that the men on the grassland have developed the tenacious character, making them persevering on the battlefield and never retreat until they see victory."

"What you said is too exaggerated." Song Yichang smiled and said, "How can the Jurchen tribes that rose from the white mountains and black waters lose the tenacity and tenacity of the Mongols today? But after entering the Central Plains, indulging in the rich and gentle village, their fighting spirit will naturally collapse. Dare you say that after becoming accustomed to the warmth and prosperity of the Central Plains, can the Mongolian soldiers fight to the death as they did at the beginning?"

Hao Jing's face changed and he said, "You can't say this casually! Now King Kublai Khan is trying his best to push the Mongolian soldiers to station in the Central Plains to prepare for the southern expedition and the eastward advance. This can also prevent the people from spending so much blood and sweat to transport food and various expenses to the north of the Mobei. Although the gentleman said this, he was unintentional, but he was inevitably used as a weapon of attack by those who were interested."

Song Yichang was stunned and said, "I only know that the heroes in Mobei are honest and bright, without much talk and strong. Now they are like the Southern Dynasty, have they learned to make verbal victory or defeat?"

Hao Jing sighed: "The country is now so territorial, and all kinds of people gathered in Helin. The Khan's tent was not only the Xius of the Central Plains, but also the Uyghurs, Turks, Bohai people, Xi people, Khitan people, Dangxiang people, and all kinds of wise men from dozens of ethnic groups gathered together. The Han people had very limited opportunities to speak."

Song Yichang smiled and said, "Can the wisdom and strategy of the barbarians in the Western Regions be compared with those of the scholars who practiced the classics of saints in the Central Plains?"

Hao Jing also laughed: "On moral articles, naturally no one can compare to Confucian scholars. But wise men of all races have their own strengths. For example, Uygur scholars can write Mongolian characters and organize camel caravans for the Khan. Uygur people have always been proficient in trade, and the Khan's caravans are filled with these shrewd merchants."

"Where are the Turkic people? The Turkic Hui scholars are mainly responsible for teaching the Scriptures of the Emperor's Prophets. There are many Muslims in the Western Regions. In order to manage them, the Khan must appoint officials who are proficient in the Scriptures of the Bible. The Islamic warriors have a strong belief, loyalty and bravery, and are also trusted by the Khan. In order to drive them, they must use the Turkic Hui scholars."

"The Dangxiang people and the Tubo people attracted the attention of the Khan with Buddhism spread in Tibet. Not to mention the Khitans, such as Yelu Chucai, are very effective in governing the local area and making suggestions. The competition we face is very large, even more difficult than the difficulty of Mr. Song in the south to obtain fame and fortune. The Khan cannot understand the classics, history, and collections, but the Khan can only appoint truly talented people. The nerds in the south who can only recite poems and write some strategies and arguments cannot survive under his account."

"In other words, the Khan will only take in those who will be useful to him immediately." Song Yichang smiled and said, "If the gentlemen who were sitting upright in the Southern Dynasty would inevitably laugh at him again, this is a mentality of doing things."

"Whether it is correct or good deeds, Mongolia is really powerful, the Southern Dynasties' articles are beautiful and the debates are wonderful. What are the benefits of the country and the people? Can a few gorgeous articles stop millions of cavalry?"

"That's true." Song Yichang said: "It's better to achieve a plan than to write a thousand words. I have a lot of good plans waiting to meet the Khan's statement!"

Hao Jing pondered: "You can't be anxious. This is my second time in Helin. And every year, the kings and nobles and tribes gathered together at the end of the summer to discuss the autumn conquest plan. At that time, the Khan was very busy. When the meeting last year, I did not get the opportunity to meet the Khan. All we can do is wait in Helin. When there is a chance, King Kublai Khan will naturally send people to spread the word."

"At that time, those who were crowded in front of the palace in Helin City were not even hundreds of thousands, but tens of thousands of envoys from all over the world who were waiting to meet." Song Yichang said in frustration: "How can we get our turn?"

Hao Jing laughed: "Helin City was decided to start building last year. The city walls and palaces have not been built yet, but even if they are completely built, the Khan will not live in the palace. The Mongols live in water and grass, which is a custom in the north of the Mo River. The Khan and his entourage will only live in palace tents that can be moved anywhere and migrate with the changes in water and grass. Helin City is just a place for the people of the Western Regions and Han people to live."

After all, Hala and Lin are just supply stations for palace tents and 100,000 military horses that follow the guards of the Khan. On the grassland is a world of tents and cattle and sheep. The city is too abrupt for the grassland and seems to have never existed.
