Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 71 Imperial Court Organization
Next, the court had no order for Fan Zhuoyuan to do anything for the time being, so he spent ten consecutive days in the inn, and the house couldn't be more expensive.

Since the rented room has its own yard, Fan Zhuoyuan of course has been practicing all day long, not only Huang Shang Yuanji has already mastered it, but he has also mastered the next move of virtue.

Both of these two moves are as the proficiency increases, and Fan Zhuoyuan's perception of the movement of qi and blood in the body becomes more profound. When the proficiency is fully practiced, even if he does not perform these two fixed movements, he can still control the pulsation of the corresponding viscera, so that Essence and blood run according to the established steps.

At this time, he no longer needs to follow the established actions to attack and defend, and can freely apply the core of techniques to his own attack and defense system, and only in this way can he meet the actual combat requirements.

It wasn't until one day that the Ministry of War dispatched officials to deliver the relevant imperial edicts to Fan Zhuoyuan that Fan Zhuoyuan started his own actions.

First go to the Ministry of War to receive the rewards that Kublai Khan gave himself, a sweat horse, a set of fourth-rank military officer robes, official records, etc.

He doesn't care about other things, he likes this bloody horse the most.

Then go to Boyan's mansion. Boyan still needs to be informed about the Jiangnan affairs. Any resources needed in the future must be obtained from Boyan.

Boyan's mansion has a lot of visitors all the year round, but Fan Zhuoyuan came to see him, and the butler quickly led him into the mansion.

Boyan was sitting in the back garden, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, a giant black eagle was soaring in the air, its wings spread more than two meters!Very huge.

As soon as Fan Zhuoyuan came in, the giant eagle swooped down on him.

When Fan Zhuoyuan was concentrating on it, it passed Fan Zhuoyuan and stopped on the railing behind him. Even standing like this, it was one meter high.

Boyan laughed and said, "This is Hai Dongqing, is this the first time seeing General Fan?"

Fan Zhuoyuan thought to himself: Back then, Guo Jing and his wife raised the pair of eagles.

"I have been famous for Haidongqing from Liaodong for a long time, and now I see it, it is really handsome."

Boyan stretched out his arm, and Hai Dongqing jumped onto his arm, apparently after a considerable degree of domestication.

"You can rely on it for the communication between you and me in the future. In the future, I will go to Shangdu and Lin, where I will prepare organizations to fight against the major forces in the Central Plains. It is expected that there will be results within half a year. At that time, I will send People support you."

Fan Zhuoyuan asked: "To deal with Jianghu forces, do you have the right to deploy troops?"

Boyan nodded, "Suppressing bandits in Jianghu cannot be done by you alone.

There is a soldier talisman, which can arbitrarily mobilize the horse-buoyed bows of no more than five centurions of the newly attached southern army, and can also request military support from nearby counties and counties.

If there are too many enemies, you can ask me for help. As long as the information is in place, the court will release the authority. "

The direct control of five hundred soldiers and horses did not say that Fan Zhuoyuan was allowed to recruit soldiers and horses on his own, but he had the authority to mobilize the new attached army in the south. It can only be said that it is better than nothing!
In order to prevent the newly attached troops who surrendered in the Southern Song Dynasty from rebelling, the Yuan court did not even issue weapons to them, and did not do the necessary training. Only when cannon fodder was needed during the war, they would issue weapons and rush to the forefront.

However, most of the new attached troops now have gone through the Song and Yuan Wars. Even if they have not been trained, there are still veterans in the army, which are still somewhat combative.

If we wait a few more years, when the veterans are old...

The Yuan Dynasty also implemented a household registration system divided by occupation, such as Confucian households for scholar-bureaucrats, artisan households for craftsmen, military households for soldiers, etc., making it impossible for each household to change jobs and be permanently bound to the place.

As far as military households are concerned, ordinary soldiers have to be tied up with officers, and when officers want to go to war, soldiers have to prepare their own equipment, money and food, and obey the orders of officers unconditionally.

This made many ordinary soldiers finally become slaves to the subordinates of officers, so that as local corruption became more serious, in the late Yuan Dynasty, every expedition was almost always accompanied by the bankruptcy of a family.

There are even often tragedies in which the husband has to sell his wife and children in order to prepare money, food and equipment for the expedition.

This situation does not distinguish between ethnic groups, as long as there is a war, it will happen.

Therefore, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, not only the Han people, but also a large number of Mongolian herdsmen turned to Zhu Yuanzhang to resist the Yuan court.

Fan Zhuoyuan bowed his hands to Boyan, but did not stay in Boyan's mansion for long, and accepted a special whistle, which could summon Hai Dongqing at any time.

This thing can survive on its own most of the time, and only when it can't find food will it go to the owner holding the eagle whistle, or listen to the eagle whistle and wait for orders.

After coming out of Boyan, it means that he can go south to the south of the Yangtze River at any time, and there is no place for him in the imperial court. This is Kublai Khan's arrangement for a southern general who has the power to destroy the country, and most of the courtiers have no objection .

After all, there were almost zero southerners who served as officials in Yuan Dadu, including Liu Zheng, a good general who was once highly valued by Kublai Khan and contributed to the strategy of destroying the Song Dynasty.

The price paid by Meng Yuan to conquer the Song Dynasty was extremely high, and even a big sweat died on the battlefield of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which caused violent internal shocks.

Even in the Lianghuai area, many dangerous places close to the mountains were converted into pastures for raising horses, and they were always targeting the anti-Yuan forces that might erupt in the south at any time, so they would never trust the southerners.

Of course, this move made it easier for the later Zhu Yuanzhang. He obtained tens of thousands of military horses in the ranch of his hometown Mengyuan, and directly formed the Northern Expedition Cavalry.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fan Zhuoyuan can be called a flying eagle and a horse. If he didn't dress in a more modest and more civilian style, he would have looked like a dandy at first glance.

He rode a tall sweat horse, but he didn't want to stay in Yuandadu for a moment.

Going to the south of the Yangtze River now, he is not interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He only flies out to pay attention to the family members of the [-] soldiers going to Japan.

The imperial court has arranged merchant ships to haul them in batches, so it is estimated that it will take at least two years to arrange everyone to go to Japan. During this period, Fan Zhuoyuan plans to use some Han people who have no way out to go to Japan to colonize and consolidate the strength of the local Han people.

Ten miles after leaving the city, in a ten-mile pavilion for tourists to rest, there were two Taoist chiefs sitting and discussing Taoism, and seeing Fan Zhuoyuan galloping from a distance, the elder Taoist priest shouted: "General Fan, would you like to stay for a while? "

Fan Zhuoyuan slowed down, turned his head and saw that it was Qi Zhicheng, the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect whom he had seen at the banquet, and the black robed Taoist beside him.

He got off his horse and walked into the gazebo, surprised: "The real person is waiting for Fan here?"

Qi Zhicheng smiled and said: "It's not that the poor are waiting for the general, but this Daoist Zhang is waiting for you."

The black-robed priest beside him clasped his hands and said, "Zhang Sanfeng, a poor Taoist, a sloppy Taoist who was given the name of bandit by his friends in the world. He came here to remind the general about something."
