"Okay, then let's conquer the west!" Temujin clapped his big hand and said, "Murong Ke, lead the 70,000 grassland men to prepare for the expedition immediately. Kublai Khan, Tuotuo, Mahamu, Menglik, Batu, Chonglou, Shatushe, Chiliantuo, Boyantu, and Naliandie Baohua have come to your tent to listen to your orders!"
"The last general takes command!" Murong Ke said with joy in his heart.
With the accumulation of military exploits over the years, Murong Ke's status in the Great Yuan Dynasty has become higher and higher, and has caught up with or even surpassed Mu Huali, Gesu Wen and others who Temujin initially relied on.
Especially the Nurhaci incident made Murong Ke's status rise again. After all, it was during the battle with Murong Ke that Nurha was hit by a cold arrow.
"Your Majesty, I have a piece of advice!" At this moment, another voice spoke.
"Prime Minister, please speak!" Although he came from Xi Xianbei and was a relative of Yelu Abaoji, Temujin trusted people he hired and ignored people he suspected. He still maintained a high degree of trust in Yelu Chucai, even in a short period of time. In a short period of time, he rose to the position of prime minister.
As a rare god-level talent among Temujin's forces, even though Yelu Chucai came from Western Xianbei, like the Murong brothers, he was still at home in Temujin's place.
If the Murong brothers were the leaders of the Murong clan who took refuge with Temujin after their defeat, then Yelu Chucai was the leader of the Yelu clan who took refuge with Temujin after their defeat.
Yelu Chucai is the last Khitan celebrity. He is a typical representative of the Chinese nomadic people.
The Mongolian cavalry was invincible, but its rule after victory fully exposed its backwardness. As a result, the conflict between "Huhua" and "Hanhua" emerged in the Central Plains. In this conflict, the danger of historical regression has already begun.
With his wisdom and ability, Yelu Chucai guided the rulers to see the superiority of Han civilization, established etiquette and taxation systems that the Mongolian empire itself did not have, made Mongolia's backward feudal system and tribal alliance management system gradually disappear, and made Mongolia's naive The legal system can develop and grow. He played an important role in the transition from Mongolia to the Yuan Dynasty.
He received a good education in Yanjing since he was a child, and was influenced by Confucian culture. Not only that, he also "read a lot of books, and studied astronomy, geography, laws and calendars, magic and divination by old doctors, and wrote " The text is written by Ruosu Gou".
During Genghis Khan's western expedition, Yelu Chucai often knew how to conquer, govern the country, and stabilize the people. He repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and was highly regarded. Following Genghis Khan's conquest of Xixia, he also admonished the state and county officials to carry out conscription and killing without authorization, so that the trend of corruption and violence was somewhat subdued.
After Wokuotai Khan came to the throne, Yelu Chucai advocated the establishment of court rituals and advised Prince Chagatai and others to perform courtesy as a monarch and ministers to respect the power of the Khan. From then on, he became more and more important and was known as the "Minister of the State".
After that, he actively restored civil governance and gradually implemented the plan of "ruling the country with Confucianism" and "customizing systems, discussing rituals and music, establishing ancestral temples, building palaces, founding schools, setting up imperial examinations, promoting seclusion, visiting the elderly, recommending virtuous people, seeking integrity, and persuading Farming mulberry trees, suppressing wandering and laziness, sparing punishment, thinning taxes and restraining taxes, respecting reputation and integrity, rejecting vertical and horizontal personnel, eliminating redundant personnel, deposing cruel officials, advocating filial piety and brotherhood, and relieving the poor." He has worked hard in all aspects of politics, economy, and culture and created many initiatives.
Yelu Chucai was not only a state-governor, but also a cultural scholar. He laid the foundation for Mongolia's cultural governance.
In terms of astronomy, he formulated the "Western Expedition Gengwu Yuanli" and discovered the "difference" caused by geographical distance; in terms of divination, he wrote "The Jade Key" and "The Clay Sword"; in literature, he followed the Western The expedition has broadened his horizons, and his poems are vigorous and bold, with a broad realm and a desolate mood; in geography, he wrote "Journey to the West", which records what he saw and heard about the Western Regions; he is also quite accomplished in calligraphy, "like cast iron." Success, the spirit of perseverance will never fade until old age.”
Yelu Chucai vigorously promoted the rule of law and recruited a large number of Han talents, such as Yang Huan, Zhang Wenqian, Zhao Liangbi, Dong Wenyong, etc. They were later reused by Kublai Khan and promoted the transformation of the Mongol Khanate into the Yuan Dynasty.
Wang Shizhen commented brilliantly: "Chu Cai can tame a tiger and tame it, so that it will not bleed all over China, and it can also kill the dragon. Its benevolence covers the world."
Sun Chengen said from a higher perspective: "Use Xia to transform the barbarians, and help Ren to defeat the enemy. Build chemical industry, cleanse the sun and moon. Create an imperial system, and improve people's livelihood. Who can compare with Beijing for the merits of benevolent people."
Due to Yelu Chucai's remarkable achievements, many scholars call him the first prime minister in the Yuan Dynasty, and rank him with Xiao, Cao, Fang and Du.
"Your Majesty, do you think that Wusun, Kangju, Dawan and other countries are enemies of the Jin army?" Yelu Chucai said proudly.
Although Xi Xianbei has been destroyed, at least the Yelu clan did not end there. The Yelu clan was probably divided into four groups and developed separately. Of course, with the demise of Yelu Dashi, there are only three shares left.
"The Jin army is the enemy!" Although Temujin did not answer this question directly, in just five words, he actually gave the answer to this question! Obviously, although Wusun, Kangju, Dayuan and other countries are not comparable to the thirty-six small countries in the Western Region, Temujin does not think that they are qualified to be opponents of the Jin army!
"Does Your Majesty think that if I, Dayuan, take action at this time, the allied forces of Wusun, Kangju, Dawan and other countries will regard my Dayuan as an enemy or a friend?" Yelu Chucai asked again.
Now that the words have been spoken, many people including Temujin have vaguely understood what Yelu Chucai wants to say!
"Be an enemy!" Temujin said concisely and concisely, and at the same time he began to think silently.
In the eyes of Wusun, Kangju, Dayuan and other countries, not only the Jin army, but also their Yuan soldiers and horses may be regarded as enemies by then. At that time, there will inevitably be a melee between the three parties.
"In this case, if the allied forces of Wusun, Kangju, Dayuan and other countries are defeated by the Jin army, what will happen if I, the Yuan Dynasty, take action?" Yelu Chucai asked again.
"So that's it. I have the prime minister in my great Yuan Dynasty, so why worry about the uneven grassland and the uneven world!" Temujin praised without hesitation.
If the allied forces of Wusun, Kangju, Dayuan and other countries are at a disadvantage in the battle with the Jin army, after they realize that their strength is not as good as the Jin army, at this time their Dayuan can be the savior. Provide help to the coalition forces of Wusun, Kangju, Dayuan and other countries, and rely on the strength of these people to jointly defeat the Jin army.
After defeating the Jin army, if we then turn our guns to deal with Wusun, Kangju, Dawan and other countries, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort. In this way, it's just like Su Lie did with Yelu Dashi, borrowing other people's hands to help him get rid of the enemy, and then getting rid of that enemy's hand together!
