Chapter 7

"Your Prince, you are so embarrassed. (Our Master Xu has taken people out for inspection and has not come back yet. You see, if this is not the case, just leave a message if you have any questions!"

Prince Kublai Khan is definitely not a good-looking person. Zhao Xu avoided him and didn't understand what it meant. Although he had to grit his teeth in his heart to express his dissatisfaction with Zhao Xu, his face was like nothing happened.

"This will bring you a blessing. Please tell him outside of the return of City Lord Zhao that I have some things to discuss with him. It is about Shi Zhidong. If City Lord Zhao is interested, please ask him to come back and send someone to scream. Xiao Wang will come and visit him again!"

After saying that, he left here without saying anything. Prince Kublai Khan did not have many subordinates at this moment. The 20,000 troops he brought to General Mengge and Sainhan Badu in order to get a chance to get along with Zhao Xu. At this moment, he had not many soldiers except for the personal guards. As for the Mongolian soldiers who were guarding the mountain road fortress with Mushuyi people, Prince Kublai Khan knew that he could not count on it. Because those people were not his subordinates at all, those people were General Mengge's subordinates. If they were expected to protect themselves and return to Mongolia, they would probably kill themselves on the way.

What did you guys see? They were born with the same roots, so why not worry about each other? It was so unfortunate to be born in the imperial family. In fact, the root cause was just the extreme force of the emperor at that time. Just like the battle between the Zhao brothers, it was almost impossible to avoid, and it was definitely the kind that would never end until death. It was precisely because of this reason that the unity of the upper princes and princesses in Mongolia did not continue to the second generation. The same is true in history. After the death of Mengge Khan, Prince Kublai Khan and Prince Alibuge launched a civil war to compete for the "king of kings". If it weren't for that civil war, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty would have been a few years ahead of time.

This is also the "royal prescription" prescribed by Martin for Zhao Fubo. Speaking of constitutional monarchy is not the fundamental means to solve this problem. The fundamental means are almost the only one - "rule of law", and "supervised rule of law". No matter for any type of government, this is actually a necessary "prescription". Because officials who hold state administrative rights are born with a strong tendency. No matter which belief, this is a nature that cannot be completely eliminated - bureaucratic nature.

The premise of this nature is to assume that human nature is evil.

It can be refuted that human nature may not be evil. Then the question is simple. If human nature is not evil, why worry about supervision? Or if the bureaucratic nature is not so evil, why should we block other people's mouths? What is this called - covering up the ears and stealing bells and the emperor's new clothes!

I'm afraid it's called "human nature is evil". Because of their own interests, bureaucrats are anxious to belong to the princeling party, the royal party or other party. Therefore, bureaucrats must live under the magnifying glass of institutionalized, transparent and liberalized "social free supervision" and "transparent legal system". Otherwise, ** is inevitable, and the bloody struggle of the ruling class is also inevitable.

There is only one reason - the right to distribute huge profits brought by state rights!

At this moment, Prince Kublai Khan thought about this problem. He wanted to return to Mongolia, no matter what. He even expected that General Mongke and Sain Khan Badu's army would be defeated when facing Zhao Fubo's cavalry. Then if General Mongke was defeated, his prestige among the Mongolian kings would be greatly reduced. And this was his opportunity. If he didn't know how to use it, it would be too stupid.

For this matter, he prepared a good topic - Shi Zhidong. From what Sain Khan Badu brought back to Huangsha City, he could see that Shi Zhidong's mastery of firearms was just a fur. Zhao Xu had much more firearms than Shi Zhidong knew. Because Zhao Xu could make some things based on the firearms he obtained, and what Shi Zhiko got was just a fur he knew from Zhao Xu.

Looking back now, he seemed too frivolous to make a marriage for Princess Yueli. He did not expect that there were so many people in the Arab Empire who could play with firearms. This incident made him a little strange all the time. Why didn’t the Song people use such powerful firearms in the Song Dynasty?

The reason is very simple, just like Chinese scholars in a certain era. As long as they are in China, they will definitely achieve nothing. If Chinese people often appear in the figures of Nobel Prize winners from abroad. To be honest, Prince Kublai Khan felt strange, and it was really strange not to laugh. How could such a problem occur? People with wisdom like readers of this book must know the fundamental problem.

In fact, the reason why there were so many firearms in the Arab Empire was the problem of one word - the essential difference between explosion and explosion. The Song Dynasty destroyed its country because of one word, which was really a very sad thing. But behind this sorrow, there are probably 80 million unjust souls telling some words. What are the words that Chinese people still don’t listen to?

It was the choice of Prince Kublai Khan. Originally, Shi Zhidong sold goods like this, which was really not worthy of people's liking. If it weren't for the power of the "Chief Artillery Army" led by Shi Zhidong, how would Prince Kublai Khan favor him?

"Prince, this Zhao Xu is probably even harder to control than that Shi Zhidong. You have to be prepared to accomplish it!"

"Hmph, Zhong Qian is probably too worried. Even if he is a little smarter, what else can he do in my desert? With his 25,000 cavalry, he wants to compete with us for the best, even if he has a firearm, I won't have it. What he wants to do then isn't easy."

When Zhang Wenqian heard Prince Kublai Khan say this, he stretched out his hand and stroked his beard and stopped talking, and then moved the topic to another direction.

"Prince, I looked at the firearms we got this time. Although they all came from Huangsha City, I saw that the musket was much less powerful than the ones that Zhao Xu had around him. In this way, the power of the firearms in Zhao Fubo's hand was unpredictable. In this way, if we took Zhao Xu back to the desert, would it bring us any trouble?"

Zhang Wenqian didn't say more, but Prince Kublai Khan heard it. Zhang Wenqian meant that if Zhao Fubo was extremely powerful, would the Mongols withdraw from the Song Dynasty?

As for this matter, Kublai Khan, the prince who aims at things in the south of the desert, could not let go of it anyway. After all, the wealth of a Song Dynasty is as high as half of the world!
