There is another update tonight! Please give me a monthly ticket!

Jiangdu, Yangzhou Old City, Zhaoming Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

In the dimly lit hall, a few cups of tea were filled with a graceful and changing fragrance. Chen Dexing was wearing the emperor's court uniform and sat leisurely in front of the imperial seat. There was also a cup of tea on the table table in front of him. It was not the popular tea in the Song Dynasty, but the tea brewed with fried tea leaves.

On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of tables, and behind each table there is a chair. Chen Dexing's Ming Dynasty court did not hold any major court meetings, and did not engage in any imperial gate to listen to politics. There are two places to discuss politics, one is the imperial meeting in the Qinzheng Hall. Sometimes the cabinet prime ministers, ministers, heads of the Fourth Army, parliamentary leaders, and everyone sat down to make a cup of tea and talked about state affairs calmly. Of course, most of the time, there would not be so many people, except for the cabinet prime minister, they were related cabinet officials or senior military officials.

The second is the Advisory Council meeting. The Advisory Council does not meet all year round, but has an adjournment period. Provincial parliamentarians can go back to their constituencies to engage in activities. However, when the parliament is held, it is usually a general meeting. The Ming Empire now has two Huaihe Rivers, two Zhejiangs, two lakes, two Guangxi, Sichuan (southeast, west and north Sichuan), Fujian, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Wuliao Provinces, and two Beijings in the north and south, with a total of twenty-seven provincial administrative regions. Each province (Beijing) has at least one consultant, and the number of additional consultant members in each province (Beijing) will be determined based on the number of registered lords and gentry. In principle, every thousand lords

There is a counselor with the gentry. Now there are 338 members of the Ming Dynasty Consultation Council, which means that the number of gentry (including ordinary nobles without fiefdoms) and gentry in the Ming Empire has reached 311,000. However, the 338 people are not required to be all of these 338 people. As long as two-thirds of the people attend the meeting, the meeting can be held. Each session of the counselor (the one who has a term of office, each term of five years) must be announced by the emperor or the regent himself. Of course, the counselors are not all gentry and gentry voted by the gentry. Instead, one-third are appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and two-thirds are elected by the gentry and gentry.

As for the vastest working people of the Ming Empire, of course, no consultant would speak for them!

In addition, the emperor and the regent can also visit the council to listen to opinions and make speeches at any time. It is basically the same as the imperialist countries in later generations.

At this moment, the meeting was naturally the imperial front meeting. The attendees were Prime Minister Huang Zhishen, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Ren Yijiang (he has now been transferred to a civil service), Minister of Foreign Affairs Liang Chongru, Director of Consultant Council Zhao Fu, Secretary of the Army Lu Hu, and Secretary of the Navy Gao Da. They were all officials and politicians with the greatest power in the entire Ming Empire, and what to discuss is naturally important military and national affairs.

"The saint, the situation in the Western Regions is now unpredictable, exceeding the earlier expectations of the military. After Hulagu's death, his heir, Abaha Khan, had surrendered to Kublai Khan and sent hostages and tributes. It is reported that Abaha will also send troops to participate in the expedition of the Jin Horde. In addition, according to reliable information, the Jin Horde Beerge had already suffered from serious illness this summer. The Jin Horde is recruiting famous doctors everywhere to Salai for treatment. If the Jin Horde Beerge dies, Kublai Khan's expedition against the Jin Horde is likely to achieve great victory..."

The conversation was Lu Hu, the Minister of the Army. With the arrival of Baoyin and Sophia, the Ming Empire and Haidu Khan's Mongolia had become allies, and Chen Dexing and Haidu will also meet in Kaiping City in the summer of the third year of Tiandao. At the same time, there are many latest news from the Western Regions and Central Asia, and they have also been spread to Jiangdu through Haidu.

The news is very bad!

It seems that the strategy of letting Kublai Khan go west was a mistake! Hulagu and Beerge, who originally thought they would unify Mongolia after Kublai Khan's demise, really had such strength and ability, but they both fell down by themselves.

Two Khans who have great hope of replacing Kublai Khan, one has died of illness, and the other is about to die of illness. If the Ili Khanate and the Golden Horde were both countries with relatively complete systems, it might not be a big deal to die of a boss. But these two countries have no systems, and are all countries that are maintained by the personal abilities and prestige of the leaders.

Every power change in such a country is a hurdle. Therefore, Abaha must flatter Kublai Khan, and the death of Beerge will definitely give Kublai Khan an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Lu Hu's voice suddenly became solemn. "In the worst case, Kublai Khan may annex the Khanate of the Golden Horde!" He gritted his teeth. "If we had known that Hulagu and Beer Ge were both short-lived Tartars, we should have left Kublai Khan's life in the Central Plains!"

‘I was really not considerate at the beginning…’ Chen Dexing gently turned the teacup in his hand. There was no expression on his face, and he felt a little regretful.

No one else is wrong about this. Others don’t know that Kublai Khan is the “Son of the Plane” in another time and space! The “Son of the Plane” must have great luck, but his luck is particularly good. After Kublai Khan went to the Western Regions, he was obviously lucky!

First, he easily calmed down Aluhu and easily took down the Three Rivers of Central Asia. Then he encountered the good thing that Hulagu died of illness and Brother Beer was seriously ill. Now, when Brother Beer died of breath, he Kublai will pounce on the Khanate of the Golden Horde!

With the support of the Ili Khanate and the H-dragons and firearms brought by Kublai Khan from the Central Plains, the Golden Horoscope probably could not beat him. It may be difficult to annex or something, but it is still very possible to turn the Golden Horoscope into a vassal... If Brother Bie'er did not die, there would be a Khanate of the Golden Horoscope, which would definitely be delayed by protracted war. The Golden Horoscope is so big, and losing a little territory is nothing.

But if Brother Bear dies, the new Golden Horde cannot be chosen for a while. Kublai Khan will have a chance to hold a meeting to elect, and the Golden Horde will be chosen by the King of the Shuchi clan.

According to the situation provided by Baoyin, there are two major forces in the Golden Horoscope in China, including the Badu and the Feibadu regime. The Berge is the Khan of the Berge, and the Berge, who is most likely to succeed the Golden Horoscope, is the grandson of the Badu regime. Because he has received the support of the entire Badu regime, he has also converted to the Tianfang sect. Berge is the Khan King who relies on the support of the Tianfang sect to become the Khan King. Now the Tianfang sect forces of the Golden Horoscope will be neutral in the new Khan's successor. Therefore, the Badu regime has already gained the advantage. However, there is also a great man in the Feibadu regime, which is the Nahai that ruled Siros.

As long as Kublai wins over to the sea, he will be able to get married on both sides, and then Kublai Teng is finished. Once Kublai Teng is finished, except for the Mongolian headquarters, the entire Mongolian country was unified by Kublai.

Now, the northwest of the Ming Empire is going to be troublesome.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Dexing. If there was something wrong in the northwest, then send troops to fight! Anyway, sending troops to the west was decided long ago. Now wait for Chen Dexing's order to issue.

Chen Dexing also faced everyone's eyes, smiled slightly, and said word by word: "What can Kublai Khan do if he unified Mongolia? I can defeat him in the Central Plains, and I can also defeat him in the Western Regions! Even if he escapes to the ends of the world, I can catch him!"

...

With a whoosh, the sound of breaking through the air was loud, and a feather arrow broke out from the string. It was so fast that it rushed straight towards a fox moving in the snow. The praise of Liu Xiaoyuan, the favorite minister of the Khan, just came out, and saw the feather arrow suddenly penetrated into the right eye of the fox with beautiful fur. The fox turned over on the spot, twitched a few times, and then lost its breath.

It was Kublai Khan who shot the arrow. A cowardly Xue Dai rushed over and took the fox to Kublai Khan, and shouted suddenly: "The sword shot, shot the eye!"

"Long live!"

Qi Xue De and the ministers who followed him out to hunt all cheered. Everyone was sincerely happy for Kublai Khan's good luck. Shooting the fox in dozens of steps was a problem of arrows, and shooting the fox's eyes was a problem of luck.

This Khan, who was very unlucky in the Central Plains, seemed to have turned his luck after running to the Western Regions. He has been thinking about everything in the past two years. First, his younger brother (Hulagu) died, and then his cousin Beer is about to die.

Originally, everyone was worried that Yili Khan and the Golden Horde would come to compete with Kublai Khan for the Mongolian Khan, but these two guys were summoned by Changshengtian.

Without Hulagu, the Ilikhan Kingdom immediately surrendered, presented a lot of gold, silver and treasures stolen from Baghdad, and sent hostages to express his desire to obey the leadership of Xue Chan Khan Kublai Khan.

In the Golden Horde, before Brother Beer died, the internal quarrels were already quarreling. The kings of the Shuchi clan supported Benge Timuer, while the kings of the Shuchi clan supported Nahai. In addition, Benge Timuer sent people to ask for help from Lin to Haidu, who was named the self-registered state. Nahai sent his son Oerda to Hujin, and now the prince Oerda was also hunting with Kublai Khan.

Prince Oerda also applauded, "The Great Khan's magical shooting is not much worse than the former Zhebe, right? With such magical shooting, why should the Great Mongolian worry about not being able to return to the Central Plains and stave off the Han people's cities and pastorals?"

Kublai Khan dropped his bow and smiled bitterly: "If you want to return to the Central Plains, you can't rely on archery. Even if everyone of my warriors is like a philosopher, it is impossible to destroy the Ming army's steel armor! However, I have other ways!"

He waved his hand suddenly, and Liu Xiaoyuan understood what he meant and immediately shouted loudly: "Carry the gun team, come two people! Carry the bullets up!"

Then we saw two Han soldiers running over with guns. One was half-squatted, and the other put the gun on the shoulder of the half-squatted man, and then aimed at a big tree 100 steps away in the distance.

This gun lifting gun is an improved type. It has a wooden handle that can be held with one hand. This is a design copied from Chen Dexing's crossbow and also has a simple trigger and fuse firing system! This is actually a fuse gun! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
