Chapter 57 Mongolia must be weak
Prince Kublai Khan took a sip of his pipe, and he felt that the smoke made him easily organized as he was thinking.
"Zhongqian, you don't know what I think. Just say anything just!"
Zhang Wenqian reached out and stroked his beard, and he was also compacting the tobacco in his pipe. People who did not know that smoking was harmful to health had begun to surrender to the temptation of tobacco. Like Prince Kublai Khan and most of his subordinates, when they returned from Arabia this time, they all learned one thing, that is, smoking. Tobacco is just a small thing that is not eye-catching, but it is definitely a huge profitable commodity.
"Prince, Zhao Xu is back with us, so there is no need to ask that he is planning to make plans for the Song Dynasty. So I think it is not a good thing for us to over-hinder this matter. It is better to give him a chance to fight with his brothers in the world. Both of them will be defeated, and it will not be difficult to capture them in one fell swoop! His brother Zhao Fubo's military strength is very strong, because you want to tell him that before our affairs succeed, he cannot do anything he wants to do!"
Prince Kublai Khan listened to Zhang Wenqian's words and looked at the grasslands that kept passing through the window. As they walked eastward, the more green grasslands there were. Although Mongolia was called the desert at this time, in fact, the desertification of the Mongolian grasslands was not serious at this time.
"Zhongqian, I don't understand what you mean. But what I have always been worried about is to bully the master! Just think about it, if he had all the land of the Great Song Dynasty and his ability to make firearms, and that Zhao Xu would have much greater ambitions than his brothers!"
Compared with Zhao Fubo, Zhao Xu prefers to play with his wrists. Although Prince Kublai Khan is getting along well with Zhao Xu on the surface, he is not forced by the situation and will never be willing to work with Zhao Xu.
"Who said no, Prince, I don't think there is too much worry about Zhao Xu's manufacturing ability. You just need to tell him that we provide all the reasons, just make it!"
Before Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Prince Kublai was dissatisfied with opposition.
"Zhong Qian, in this way, even his troops are made of the raw materials we provide! I'm afraid that it won't take a few years to do so, his power..."
Obviously, although the twists and turns in Prince Kublai Khan's belly are more than those of the Mongols, he is actually worse than those of the Song people when it comes to strategy.
"Prince, why don't you understand? I think his firearms will consume a lot of materials after all. We just need to control copper lead and other firearms to see how much they can make. And one day we can cut off the source of his material at any time. In that case, will we control the increase in the number of his army? In addition, we can also use this to say that we can take the big head of the weapons we have made. And the most important thing is, we must also have more craftsmen in the prince!"
After Zhang Wenqian talked about this for a long time, he probably meant in his heart, one was to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and the other was to borrow chicken to lay eggs. With Zhao Xu's understanding of the production of weapons, the Mongols could also try to learn it. When Zhao Xu lost his technical advantages and suffered a loss with Zhao Fubo in the south, he naturally could not get rid of him. As for Zhao Fubo, Zhang Wenqian did not dare to think too much. Because against that guy, this strategy was obviously useless.
Yes, what kind of strategy should be used to deal with Zhao Fubo? It is nothing more than war, harmony, and avoidance. In the so-called war, Zhao Fubo has rifles and cannons under his command, which is amazing. War is naturally a way. As for the cooperation, Zhao Xu killed Sanniang, Zhao Weinan, and Shi Shi. Even if it is harmonious, Zhao Fubo will definitely cut off his head. Avoid, the world is so big, but there is no place for Zhao Xu to sit in. And where to hide, it is the end?
At this time, Zhao Xu's worries were not like Zhao Fubo. At least in general, Zhao Fubo knew very well what the world looked like. Moreover, with more and more "whale-class rapid transport ships", the scope of activities of Chinese merchants became larger and larger. Even merchants had begun to jointly hire personnel to explore overseas and find new routes and new trade directions. Although the secrets of the world have not been shown to the "Huaxia Empire", they have begun to be displayed little by little in front of them as they explored.
But the world is still dark for Zhao Xu. The map in his hand is just a map of the Arab Empire. Along the road, he also found maps drawn by some countries. Although the error is huge, his cognitive ability is only as good as that. Looking at the places that the Mongolians have ruined, and even further away, they are all within the reach of the power of his brother Zhao Fubo. So, what place can Zhao Xu occupy besides returning to the south of the Mo River to seize the Song Dynasty?
Zhao Xu was also sitting in the car, just like Prince Kublai Khan, whose concerns about the future made him keep talking about the situation with his military advisor, Hassan, along the way to judge their own future. The difference is that Xianglian was also in his car with two or three women leading to serve them.
"Mr. Xu, our cooperation with the Mongolians should be what the Song people said was that they had their own ulterior motives. He wanted to use our power to accomplish things in Mongolia, but we had to rely on them and develop to the south. I think we should use our Mongolians and be able to defend ourselves. But the most fundamental thing is that they want to use our firearms, but they don't know how to build them themselves. When it comes to leading, Mr. Xu, I think this matter is more important.
The Mongols didn't care much about the long-barred muskets. In fact, they didn't know that the Azam Tulansha Sultan infantry we were hit by under the city of Bosaro. I think we could also build such an army, and it would be easier to deal with them in the future. As for Zhao Fubo and Master Xu, I think it will take several years for him to come back, or we will move faster, and the Song Dynasty will also occupy half of the country!"
Hassan's meaning was obviously to ask Zhao Xu to return to the Song Dynasty, and he could only cooperate with the Mongols on the surface. Zhao Xu also understood this point, but unfortunately he was worried about how to deal with Zhao Fubo in the future. Now his military strength is so strong, so how powerful the army he will have in a few years!
"It's so difficult. Do you just want Zhao Fubo to let me go? He must have killed me quickly in his heart, and behind him are the bad Mongolians. If we are both enemies, wouldn't it be a big deal!"
Hearing such words, Hassan's little eyes suddenly smiled.
"Master Xu, of course we cannot let such things happen, so Mongolia must be weak. The weaker they are, the greater our help will be, and the less danger will be!"
