Chapter 95
Kublai Khan had no apparent influence on Liu Mengyan's change in view.
Wen Tianxiang would not escape from heaven because of this, and Liu Mengyan would not lose his official title because of this.
However, it has no impact at all, and it is not entirely true.
At least, Kublai Khan will not consider following Liu Mengyan's suggestion, he will punish Wen Tianxiang or kill him with respect and effect.
In other words, during the period when Zhao Wei and Mr. Dieshan were on mission to Japan, Wen Tianxiang had no worries about his life.
Although there has not been a clear order in the following days, it is no secret that Xie Fangde and Zhao Wei, the Marquis of Ningguo, went to Japan to control the situation.
Zhao Wei and Mr. Dieshan also began to prepare for Japan.
During this period, Zhao Wei, in addition to occasionally visiting Empress Dowager Xie, he went to Wang Yinglin's door to "stand guard".
Needless to say, who made him yell at marrying Wang Yu? Of course, he stood there for several days, but he didn't even see Wang Yu's shadow.
However, Wang Yinglin, the "future father-in-law" who went out to meet Zhao Wei, said polite words and did not mention anything about the matter with Wang Yu and Zhao Wei. The main reason was that he thanked Zhao Wei in a vague way, thanking him for "suspending" his mission to Japan.
After all, if Wang Yinglin goes to Japan, it will not be a problem of hardships, but will die! No matter how bad Zhao Wei is in his intentions, he will help Wang Yinglin in the end. The old man will come out to see him out of the virtue of a gentleman.
But this does not mean that Wang Yinglin has any good feelings for the "son-in-law" who is being posted on it. It is even more impossible to marry his daughter just for gratitude.
In response to this, Zhao Wei looked extremely unwilling to accept his face, but he was not at all turbulent in his heart.
Originally... Marrying Wang Yu was an excuse, just that Chaihuo Niu... The place where she should be breasted is not, and she should not be vicious. She really fell into Zhao Wei's eyes.
However, Wang Yinglin's unintentional polite words made Zhao Wei think about it for a long time.
The old man said... "Marquis Ningguo is going here, add a little more... After all, both enemies are from both sides."
What does it mean to have an enemy on both sides? Zhao Wei couldn't figure it out. When he went back to ask Mr. Dieshan, he couldn't figure out why Master Wang said something, and he thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
The two men of old and young were suspicious, thinking that Wang Yinglin knew something, and that was something that Zhao Wei was hinting.
As a result, an unexpected person helped Zhao Wei solve the answer... Zhao Mengxi!
This foolish guy was dissatisfied when he learned that the beautiful man on the mission fell on Zhao Wei, so he was reluctant to do anything to Zhao Wei!
He was looking for connections everywhere to ruin this matter. Not only did he save Liu Mengyan and come forward to tell the truth about Zhao Wei in front of Emperor Yuan. He also heard that he also took the line from Ahma who had just returned to Beijing. He wanted to use this powerful minister of the Yuan Dynasty to make Zhao Wei look good.
As for the result, Zhao Mengxi did not make it a good choice. After all, Liu Mengyan had just signed up for Kublai Khan, and Ah Ma had just returned to Beijing, and he was also a very smart person, so how could he speak for him?
In the end, it was over and it should have been like this. But by chance, one day, Zhao Wei was having a drink at Khanbalitai and happened to meet Zhao Mengxi and come to enjoy it.
When enemies gather together, they will inevitably spray each other with feces! They will destroy each other, and they will embarrass each other...
Zhao Wei scolded Zhao Mengxi for being useless, but he didn't come that appointment. Zhao Mengxi was so mean that Zhao Wei was poor and got gold. She picked up a bad job and became a treasure!!
"If you are a slaughter in the war, you are a surrendered minister of the old dynasty, who will you take? Who will listen to you? "
This sentence reminded Zhao Wei at once. It turned out that Wang Yinglin's words meant this!!
If you think about it carefully, the leader of the Japanese conquest was Boyan and Zhang Hongfan as the deputy. Both of these two were powerful for a lifetime. Will they listen to Han officials?
If it is not handled properly, isn’t it a foe on both sides?
After returning, when he talked about the new discovery with Mr. Dieshan, the gentleman became solemn. It seemed... this trip was not as simple as he thought.
And for Zhao Wei, there is still a problem.
That is, the strategy of attacking Japan has been decided.
That is the army of 600,000, with the main force of 400,000 being commanded by Boyan, crossing the sea from Goryeo, and attacking Jiuzhou Island in Japan head-on, which is the original route for the first attack on Japan.
Zhang Hongfan led 200,000 surprise troops to bypass Kyushu on the front battlefield, sneak into the east coast of Honshu Island, and surprise attacks Kyoto and Kamakura.
It can be said that it is a two-pronged approach, which is enough for Hojo Toshizo to drink a pot.
But the problem is that Xie Dieshan and Zhao Wei’s responsibilities are to visit the upper class of Japan to persuade them to surrender under the advantage of the battlefield. The purpose is to reduce the consumption of war.
Then, the destination of the two must not be the distant Jiuzhou, but the island of Japan.
In other words...the two have to follow Zhang Hongfan!
That's all the tricks!
You should know that during the meeting with Zhao Wei, Wen Tianxiang also revealed an important information. That is, Zhang Hongfan also knew Zhao Wei’s true identity!
After all, when the Yashan broke through, Zhang Hongfan was also on the boat, closest to Zhao Wei! It is not difficult to see Zhao Wei's appearance clearly.
If the army starts, Zhao Wei and Zhang Hongfan will meet...
(Zhang): Hi, what a coincidence, where have you made a fortune in the past two years?
(Zhao): Most of them are undercover, so the general is fine...
So it's not completely revealed?
There is no way, the two old and young conspired again. Regardless of whether they were stuck in the middle or not, how to avoid Zhang Hongfan? It is the main thing!
.....
———————
At the end of August, Emperor Kublai Khan formally summoned the world to attack the four islands of the Kingdom of Wa to promote the power of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The order of "the Left Chief of the Central Secretariat is the same as the Chief of the Privy Council" Bo Yan was the commander, and the general of the State-controlled country Zhang Hongfan was the deputy. He raised 600,000 troops and 5,000 warships, crossed the Mahainan to fight against the peaceful world!
In addition, Xie Fangde, a direct scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was the envoy, and Zhao Wei, the Marquis of Ningguo, was the deputy envoy, and sent a missionary to the emperor to preach the national etiquette!
This is the first time that such a large-scale battle was launched after the Yuan Dynasty overthrew the Southern Dynasties! It is not an exaggeration to say that it was full of people.
Therefore, Kublai Khan attached great importance to it. In addition to Zhang Hongfan, who was still in Goryeo's army, he specially summoned Boyan, Xie Fangde and Zhao Wei to the front of the army and gave me some advice.
When he saw the emperor, Boyan was naturally majestic and domineering, and he disdained Xie and Zhao. Because Emperor Yuan was in front of him, he did not show any excessive performance.
Zhao Wei is still a person of nature, and he still doesn't kneel when he sees Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan seems to be used to this... Besides... After Zhao Wei's nonsense, Kublai Khan was also reflecting on whether this kneeling ceremony could be received.
Although the decree has not been explicitly abolished these days, Kublai Khan always seeks a reason to not let his ministers kneel down. This is equivalent to a gradual over-examination...
Including today, Boyan and Xie Dieshan did not kneel down either.
In short, Boyan and Zhao Wei should behave, and it was no surprise that Xie Dieshan seemed to be willing to speak but stopped, as if he was holding back his words.
Kublai Khan observed it in detail and naturally saw it, "Does sir have any hidden words? No need to worry, there are no outsiders in this palace."
"This..." Xie Dieshan hesitated for a moment, looked at Boyan, and said, "Actually... Fangde does have a sentence that should be said or not."
When Kublai Khan heard this, "Of course I have to say it. I want to hear it when I invite you to see you, don't you just want to hear your heartfelt words?"
"Oh well....."
Xie Dieshan took a deep breath and first bowed to Boyan unexpectedly, "Fonde offended..."
Boyan frowned when he said this. What did he say? He heard this, was he coming for me?
I saw Mr. Dieshan give up and turn to face Emperor Yuan, "I think... the strategy of attacking the Japanese is flawed, and there is one thing that needs to be discussed again!"
"Oh?" Kublai Khan raised his eyebrows, "Where."
"My opinion is that Prime Minister Boyan should not lead the central army and attack Jiuzhou Island head-on... Instead, it is more appropriate for the more experienced General Zhang to sit in the formation of 400,000 main forces!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bo Yan was stunned! Kublai Khan was also stunned!!
And Kublai Khan looked at Xie Dieshan and grinned inwardly, thinking that no wonder he looked like he was constipated. It turned out that he was holding such a sentence? He really dared to say it...
This is offensive...
I looked up at Boyan, sure enough!
