Chapter 96 Internationally renowned double standard(1/2)
Xie Dieshan suggested that Zhang Hongfan take over the central army instead of Boyan, especially to say it in front of Boyan, which is indeed a bit...a bit offensive.
Not to mention the difference between Boyan and Zhang Hong and Fan and Meng and Han, just the deputy commander is in charge of the central army, where should the commander be appointed?
Moreover, Zhang and Boyan were once subordinate, and Zhang Hongfan could be said to be Boyan's old subordinate. Now that he puts the cart before the horse, wouldn't it make Boyan lose all his face?
But the words had already been said, and Boyan was not good at expressing his opinion at this time, and Kublai Khan could not refute it hastily. He had to follow Xie Dieshan's words and talk down.
"Sir, let's come up with this plan?"
Xie Dieshan Jueyin for a moment, "I know that it is unreasonable to let General Zhang replace the prime minister in charge."
"But... But General Zhang is indeed more suitable than Prime Minister."
Kublai Khan: "Tell me!"
"There are three reasons: First, attacking Japan is more important than naval battles. As long as the Japanese naval army is defeated, the four islands are just something in their pockets. In terms of naval battles, General Zhang has been in charge of the naval army for many years, and is obviously more familiar than the prime minister."
"Secondly, General Zhang fought with Japan for more than two years in Goryeo, and two years ago. He is more familiar with Japan or our army. And I heard that Japan built high walls on the east side of the Tyrant Ma and the Great Island of Jiuzhou to resist the Yuan Dynasty. Our army will work hard to fight on its expedition. This situation requires a general who knows the background of both sides to take charge of the army."
"Third, I think that the frontal attack of the central army is of course the top priority, but 200,000 troops attacking this continent should not be underestimated. Moreover, there is no obstacle to high walls on the island of this continent. Our army will be able to land easily. At that time, the water war will not matter. The invincible ability of the Prime Minister to fight in the land can be carried out! It is more suitable."
"These three points are all strategies for the full use of things, and they cannot be done by doing it. After all, the old saying goes, "It will be difficult to take it again and again, again and again! If there is any difference in attacking Japan three times but failing to defeat it!
"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice."
“…”
Kublai Khan looked at Xie Dieshan deeply for a long time, and finally he had a breath of turbid air...
"Hu..." He looked at Boyan without saying anything, but asked about his opinion.
In fact... Mr. Dieshan is not talking about a profound battle strategy, and it is not wrong. Zhang Hong and Fan are the strong attacks and Boyan's surprise attack are indeed the best strategy.
However, in reality, it is not just a matter of talk. In addition to the factors of the war, Kublai Khan had to consider the stability of the court.
Zhang Hongfan was not placed on the main attack, because he took into account the face of Boyan and the interests of the Mongolian nobles. There was no way... The country is a complex system, or machinery, and it was impossible for every detail to be perfect. Kublai Khan could only compromise and find the most balanced means.
But... Xie Dieshan's words were equivalent to breaking the window paper... And more importantly, Mr. Dieshan had a saying that caught Kublai Khan's pulse! That is... If you attack three times but fail to overcome it, your morale will be greatly damaged. It is really not easy to overcome it.
Such consequences are something that Kublai Khan cannot afford!!
Looking at Boyan quietly was equivalent to kicking the ball at Boyan's feet, which meant, what do you think? Can you feel wronged?
What should Boyan do if this is done? He can’t get it there.
His face changed continuously, and finally he showed a firm expression of willingness to be the country, and suddenly knelt down! "I think! Mr. Dieshan said very well! I am willing to assist the general of Zhenguo and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Kublai Khan was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly walked off the dragon throne and helped Boyan up with his own hands, "Okay! OK! OK!! I, Dayuan, have this prime minister!" He looked at Mr. Dieshan again, "Without any straight minister like Mr., why worry about the uncertainty of the world!"
In the end, the king is kind and his minister is filial, and the ends successfully.
But Boyan glanced at Xie Dieshan with a complicated expression... Until he said goodbye to the emperor, Boyan was actually still in a state of confusion, and his eyes were also gloomy and sunny.
Boyan was wondering whether to blame Dieshan for this matter...
It was not until he left the palace that Boyan had to worry about what he should say. He still had to say what he should say, and he still had to express what he should say.
So he looked stern and was about to say a few harsh words, but he didn't expect... Xie Dieshan took action first!
I saw him bow to Boyan deeply, "I am here, I will congratulate the Prime Minister first."
"you!!!!"
Boyan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xie Dieshan in disbelief. You had been saying a long time... but he didn't say a single word!
The two of them were so stiff... After a while... Boyan finally became weak and sighed bitterly, "Sir, it's really extraordinary, Boyan admires it!! This trip... I still need more help from Mr.... Boyan and the request from the palace have thanked him together!"
After saying that, Boyan bowed to the Han Dynasty and gave a big gift to Xie Dieshan, and made another gesture of invitation, meaning... Mr. left first!
This is a god-reversal!
Then why?
Actually... This is a story about Wang Ermazi who wants to marry the Li family girl, and both of them are in love and their parents are suitable. Only the matchmaker and the melon-eating aunt who is watching the fun can't do it.
Kublai Khan wanted to make the more experienced Zhang Hongfan lead the army, but because of the matchmaker and the melon-eating aunt, he had to give up. This matchmaker and the melon-eating aunt were naturally Mongolian nobles. Because from the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for Han generals or foreign generals to overtake the Mongolians and to lead the army! Designing the interests of the Mongolian tribe, no one is willing to start this!
As for the attack on the Japanese this time, Boyan actually said that he was willing to let Zhang Hongfan take charge of the central army and he sent out surprise troops.
The reason is very simple. It sounds nice to be in charge of the central army, but it is actually a thankless coolie! Facing the high coastal walls of Jiuzhou Island, the boat cannot be on the shore and the cannon cannot be installed! It will take human life to attack!
Besides, even if the war goes well, and the coastal defense of Japan is broken, Boyan will not have any benefits... Most of the population, important cities, and plunderable wealth. They are all on the Main Island where Kyoto is located! To put it nicely, it is the gateway of Japan. To put it nicely, it's the Yanmen Pass of Japan! There is no other dead hair! More importantly, even if the central army captured Jiuzhou, will it be a surprise to surround the sea and capture Kyoto?
In contrast, how can there be a surprise soldier feel comfortable all the way? It disturbs the east coast of Japan, without high walls and no defenses! It is a rich island when you get ashore. If you go smoothly, you can go directly to Kamakura and the capital city!
Boyan asked these two paths to choose. Which one do you think he would choose? Are you stupid?
But there was no way! He really had to be stupid once, because this matter was not only his own business, but also the face of the Mongolians, so the Han generals could not be put on the head. Moreover, in the court, Han ministers were afraid of touching the taboos of the Mongolians and did not dare to directly appease them. Mongolian ministers had even more benefits and did not fall into their own hands, so of course they encouraged Boyan to take charge.
Kublai Khan considered too much and could only avoid losing this profit.
Only Xie Dieshan! When he first arrived in Dadu, he had no stigma! Only he dared to say such things. Just now in the hall, Boyan and Kublai Khan were just doing it. Since Xie Dieshan was not afraid of taking the blame, then do it like this, and everyone was happy?
And Boyan's uncertainty was performed. Kublai Khan knew that he was acting, but he didn't say it out loud, and he was not angry because he was not for him, the emperor, but for the Mongolian nobles.
"You saw it... I'm reluctant. If you blame Xie Dieshan for not opening his eyes."
When he left the palace, Boyan's conflict was the same. He didn't know how to deal with Mr. Dieshan. Should he continue to act, pretend to be angry, or follow his original intentions, and thank this old straight man.
It was not until Xie Dieshan said meaningfully, "Congratulations to the Prime Minister first!" Boyan realized that this old man was really capable! He knew everything! His and the emperor's thoughts were all under the eyes of others!
Then there is no point in continuing to perform. It is better to thank Mr. Xu openly. In the future, the two of them will fight against Japan and work together. And with such a talented person by their side, if they really help, the attack on Japan will be much smoother.

When the palace gate was bowed, and the discussions in the hall were discussed, it would naturally not be unattractive. In fact, as Kublai Khan and Boyan expected, although some things were Xie Die Mountain Top pot, they would not be so quiet.
During this period, there is no need to show how the Mongolian nobles object and how they make trouble.
Just talking about Zhao Mengxi... This guy is trying his best to read Zhao Wei's joke!
As a result... Why did he get along with Boyan so well? That's Boyan... The Mongolian tribe is more powerful than Ahma in the court! Why did he even act like he was just about to become a disciple of Xie Dieshan?
"Grandma! That turtle-being is the biological birth of the Bodhisattva. How could he catch up with such a thing?"
At the top of the head, an old and godly civil official frowned and glared at Zhao Mengxi. It was Hanlin Chengxi Liu Mengyan, "I said you are not good at being a good person, but you are not good at being a good person! But I asked me to say it many times!"
"Don't worry about that bastard!! My first enemy is Xie Fangde!! This time Xie Fangde borrowed Zhao Wei to protect Wang Yinglin's life. Wang Yinglin would not know that when he returned to the court, if the two of them joined forces."
"There will be no one among the Han ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty! If Wen Tianxiang is taken out from the prison again! Is there any place for me to stand in the court??"
When Zhao Mengxi heard this, he quickly flattered and said, "Don't worry, Father Ya... Isn't it just Xie Fangde?"
"Wait, the child has suffered a loss at Zhao Wei recently, because he has a master who follows him, so we can't get any advantage."
"It's different in the future. The child has spent a lot of money to invite a batch of good deals from Mount Emei to Beijing. At that time..."
Zhao Mengxi's eyes turned gloomy, "What the hell is Ningguo Marquis' Mansion!? I wiped it off overnight! I don't know how he died!!"
When Liu Mengyan heard this, he felt displeased! But this man couldn't come up with any good ideas. They were all despicable things!
However, after thinking about it, Isn’t this the use of him recognizing Zhao Mengxi’s godson? There are many dark things, and he can’t take action. However, Zhao Mengxi can do it for him.
In recent years, Zhao Mengxi has really done a lot of shameful things for him.
The only thing to beware of is not to cause trouble to yourself.
He looked up at Zhao Mengxi, "Don't bring your dirty things to the father's house! But he is more restrained and don't be touched by someone."
"Don't worry!" Zhao Mengxi looked no longer, "A person who is like a Yuan Emperor's play will die if he dies! Is there anyone really a cry for him?"
When Liu Mengyan heard this, he became angry again: "Bastard! I am talking about Xie Dieshan! What are you calling him from the Marquis of Ningguo!!"
"Oh..." Zhao Mengxi shrank her neck... "Dad is right... I will just remember it."
But when he turned around, he forgot, "Mom... I was so angry when I thought about it. What kind of means did he use? Can Boyan be so obedient!?"
Liu Mengyan's lungs were almost blown up, and it was so mud that he couldn't help the wall! He angrily said, "I want me to say so many times! It's Xie Fangde!! Xie Fangde!! Let me mention Zhao Wei again, get out of here!"
"Yes, yes..." Zhao Mengxi grinned, "But it's not right... Isn't Xie Fangde just a sour scholar? Why did he suddenly have such great skills?"
Liu Mengyan shook his narrow sleeves, "Who knows that old man suddenly became powerful."
....
Well, Liu Mengyan really doesn’t understand how Xie Dieshan has insight into such a subtle situation.
In fact, Mr. Dieshan does not have the ability to do this. Of course, don’t expect Zhao Wei to think so thoroughly.
But... a careful Xie Dieshan, plus a very humble and evil Zhao Wei...
It would be a different story for the two of them to combine their swords...
And... the objection of this palace, the strategy that surrounded all parties was a masterpiece that the father and the other two had to hold in the room for several days!! It was foolproof, but it was exquisite.
Not only can Zhang Hongfan, the biggest threat, be sent to Jiuzhou Island, but he can't fight with Zhao Weiba, but he can also win Boyan's favor and avoid being attacked from being caught between the middle and the back.
