Chapter 67
On the 12th day of the first lunar month, just the day after Hao Ren agreed to Boyan's invitation, the Han ministers in the court completed the ceremony of three bows and nine bows. Kublai Khan said to Hao Ren: "Hao Ren. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you will go and deal with the navy."
Hao Ren was stunned. He didn't expect that Kublai Khan would give such an order. He turned to look at Marshal Boyan and saw that Marshal Boyan still had a cold expression. Although he looked back at Hao Ren, he did not express any expression at all.
Now Hao Ren was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices. In conjunction with Kublai Khan and General Boyan, were they colluding to seize Hao Ren's power? If so, it would be better to speak in the court. In anger, Hao Ren said very unhappily: "Your Majesty, I want to recommend the candidate to take over the army."
Kublai Khan said, "Just let your deputy Amire take over, he is familiar with this."
Hao Ren was so suffocated that he couldn't speak. His deputy was indeed familiar with the affairs of the military soldiers. The deputy himself was able to describe his attitude towards Kublai Khan as a matter of fear. As long as the Khan gave the order, Amire would probably agree to all the Khan's orders. From this perspective, Hao Ren felt that Kublai Khan was very concerned about the contradictory of Hao Ren.
However, at this point, Hao Ren knew that he could not handle it. He could only respond: "I obey the order!"
Kublai Khan looked at Hao Ren meaningfully and began to deal with other things. Hao Ren was in his heart and was completely ignored by the things that followed. After deeply studying the system of the government army, Hao Ren felt that this system was not only the Han system, but also the product of the highly institutionalized state. The core of the system of the government army is the nationalization of the army, not the privateization of the Mongolian army.
For example, when Hao Renwanhu took 10,000 households, he provided 500 cavalry to Hao Renwanhu. These 500 cavalry did not belong to the Khan, but belonged to the individual owner of Hao Renwanhu like the 10,000 households. If Hao Renwanhu wanted to rebel, these 500 cavalry would join the battle ranks of Hao Renwanhu and raise the flag of rebellion to Kublai Khan. Just like the current Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedei Khanate.
The soldiers of the government are two groups of court officials sent by the court by the government at the beginning of the war. After the war, the soldiers returned to their hometowns. From beginning to end, only the emperor could mobilize these troops through the tiger talisman, and no one else could let the soldiers use them. The more complete the system of the government and the stronger the soldiers, the stronger the soldiers, the stronger the soldiers of the government, the stronger the forces of the emperor and the country.
Hao Renwanhu did indeed achieve his ideal, but he did not expect that his efforts would be poached by the people led by Emperor Kublai Khan. In "Lüshi Chunqiu", he said that if he fished out of the lake, he would not get it, but there would be no fish next year; if he burned the squall and the fields next year, he would not get it, but there would be no beast next year. Although the deception and falsehood can be stolen now, he will not get it again later, which is not a long-term technique.
Kublai Khan is the beginning of Mongolian sinicization, but what he is doing now seems to be destroying his former efforts. And a person like Marshal Boyan...
When Hao Ren thought of Massacre Boyan, he felt even more uncomfortable. With Massacre Boyan's knowledge, he actually agreed with Kublai Khan's request. This made Hao Ren completely unexpected.
When he got off the court, Hao Ren found that Marshal Boyan and other court officials left, so he followed Marshal Boyan. He left the palace gate and when Marshal Boyan got on the carriage, Hao Ren immediately followed. Marshal Boyan's carriage door was not closed at all, so Hao Ren took the opportunity to sit in and then closed the carriage door.
"Are you asking me why I plot against you?" The coach spoke first.
Hao Ren was stunned at first, and then replied angrily: "That's true!"
"I am the minister of the Khan. I will do whatever the Khan asks me to do."
"You..." Hao Ren didn't expect that Boyan would say this at all. Although he asked a question, the one behind him could not continue to say it.
"Don't accept it?"
"...No." Hao Ren said with great dissatisfaction.
"If you don't accept it, why don't you just talk in the court?"
"The Khan did not say that he wanted to abolish the military system of the government. What did I say at that time? Because the Khan had not done anything yet, he would accuse the Khan of the Khan of the Khan?" Hao Ren said angrily.
"Since that's the case, let's do the Navy's affairs well. Is there anything else?" Marshal Boyan issued an order to expel guests.
Faced with such a superior and subordinate system, Hao Ren had nothing to say. Since Marshal Boyan issued an order, he had to get off the car. After getting off the car, Hao Ren saw Marshal Boyan's carriage close the door, and the coachman drove the horses, and the carriage left. Because he used the rubber tires bought from Song State, Marshal Boyan's carriage ran very lightly and soon disappeared.
Hao Ren stood angrily in the chilly clearing ground in the cold spring, letting the cold wind blow for a while, then he got into his carriage dejectedly. He got into the carriage, and Hao Ren punched the seat with a punch.
That night, Marshal Boyan went to see Kublai Khan and talked about the conversation between him and Hao Ren during the day. Kublai Khan laughed and said, "That kid really didn't say much. You can't say good things for him, right?"
"No." Marshal Boyan answered simply and clearly.
"So what if you say a few good things for him? Although Hao Ren's little foal ran very fast, he had never suffered any twists and turns. He thought things too simple." Kublai Khan's tone was very relaxed.
"Why didn't Your Majesty say what you are in your heart to Hao Ren? Although Wanhu is young, he can still understand His Majesty's meaning."
"A child like this needs to be tempered to get rid of his thoughts." Kublai Khan replied.
When Boyan left, Kublai Khan lit a Luzon cigar for himself. A sweet smoke came out of his mouth, and Kublai Khan felt refreshed. Now Luzon cigars have become one of the most popular luxury goods in the Yuan Dynasty. After each smoking, Kublai Khan felt refreshed.
Like before, Dahan felt that his spirit was naturally excited at this moment. With this end, Dahan thought about Hao Ren's affairs. In fact, the day after Hao Ren opposed turning the mansion into the Red Army of the Ma, Kublai Khan had already figured out the links here. Overall, Kublai Khan was very satisfied with Hao Ren's performance. Among Kublai Khan's men, there were not many people who could stick to his ideas like Hao Ren, unwavering, and even dared to fight against Kublai Khan for the correct ideas. Or in other words, the number was very rare.
If Hao Ren was not from the Borjijin family, Kublai Khan would reuse it immediately. However, Hao Ren was a ten thousand households of the Borjijin family, which made Kublai Khan's impulse to reuse it coldly.
If the ten thousand households of the Borjijin family were on the grassland, Kublai Khan would not be particularly wary, but Hao Ren was a court minister. In other words, if Kublai Khan valued Hao Ren, Hao Ren would likely win over a large group of court ministers and form a huge faction.
In addition, Kublai Khan felt that Hao Ren lacked a sense of crisis. The system of the military forces could be theoretically passed down for generations, but the Song State in the south would continue to fight against the Yuan Dynasty in two or three years. At this time, the system of the military forces was far less reliable than the Dema Red Army, who was directly commanded by the Khan.
