Song QingShu looked embarrassed. He had really been a bit too much of a bastard. For a moment, he had no face to defend himself.
Zhao Min vented for a while, and then she calmed down a little. "But thinking about it, it's not entirely a bad thing."
Song Qingshu: "???" He even suspected that the other party was deliberately being sarcastic and setting a trap for him to jump into.
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him, and then explained, "Although the power of Prince Gui You and Prince Mengke's Mansion is not what it used to be, they were once the heir of the Great Khan. A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. If we have their help, it will be much easier to control the situation in Mongolia in the future."
Song Qingshu secretly admired her. After a short period of anger, she could calmly weigh the pros and cons. She was indeed a smart person. But why did he feel a little disappointed?
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Min noticed his strange expression.
Song Qingshu looked aggrieved. "I always feel that you don't care about me very much. Even when I made such a mistake, you are not as jealous as I thought."
Zhao Min was so angry that she laughed. "You have taken advantage of me. Can't I be a little more generous? Do you want me to scold you? You are a bitch. "
Song Qingshu smiled and hugged her. "I feel much more at ease with you like this."
Zhao Min twisted her body, but he hugged her tightly. She couldn't push him away. She could only roll her eyes. "Let's get down to business. Can you make those two women fall in love with you?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "They are very assertive people, and they have been in high positions for many years. They are not like ordinary girls who will do anything for love."
Zhao Min looked disdainful. "You are really regressing. Didn't you use the Huanhuan Genuine Qi on them?"
Song Qingshu gasped. This woman was really ruthless when she wanted to be. She would use all kinds of means.
Zhao Min snorted. "No matter what you do, you'd better make them more obedient these days. It will be good for the future."
"I'm afraid we don't have time …" Song QingShu continued to tell them about Temujin's upcoming expedition. His current status in the Shuiyue Clan was that of an expert guest of the Great Khan. With the accidental deaths of Li Chimei, Red Sun, and Naya 'a, he would have more and more opportunities. This time, he would definitely go with the army.
"Do you have anyone you can use? Send them to inform Galdan and have them get ready." Song Qingshu was a little anxious.
Zhao Min looked at him with a strange expression. "Why inform Galdan?"
"Of course it's to inform them to take precautions in advance," Song Qingshu said, puzzled.
Zhao Min shook her head. "From what you just described, the internal conflicts in Dzungar are already irreconcilable, and a split is inevitable. Even if we remind them, they won't be able to change the situation."
"Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is, what do you want?"
Song Qingshu was stunned. "What do I want?"
"That's right." Zhao Min's expression became serious. "If you want to maintain the status quo and let the countries continue to fight like this, then there is indeed a need to inform Galdan and let him hold on for a while longer. But if your ambition is to unify the world, then there is no need to inform them. You can use the Mongolians to wipe out these separatist forces so that you don't have to deal with them in the future."
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "But this way, Mongolia will become more and more powerful. If I continue to sit back and do nothing, won't I repeat the mistakes of Qi in the past?"
When the Qin destroyed the six states, Qi had been watching from the sidelines. In the end, it was shocked to find that it was the only one left, and the only thing waiting for it was to surrender. Thinking that it had also been conferred the title of King of Qi, it felt somewhat inauspicious.
"No," Zhao Min explained, "Every time after the Great Chaotic Era, because too many forces were destroyed, the internal situation was bound to be unstable. When the Qin Kingdom and the Sui Dynasty ended hundreds of years of chaos, they only lasted for a dozen years before they perished. Later on, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty reaped the benefits. You can also let Mongolia play the role of the Qin Kingdom and the Sui Dynasty."
Song Qingshu sighed. "But I'm afraid that if we are not careful, things will go wrong."
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him. "It's not like you don't know how chaotic the Mongolian internal situation is right now. Moreover, you have me, Sea Lost, Ya Lun, and other allies. I think the situation is very good."
"Could it be that you want me to replace Temujin?" Song Qingshu asked.
Zhao Min shook her head slightly. "Unless you plan to stay behind the scenes. If you want to go to the front, you naturally can't use the previous method of disguise."
"This is also a problem that has been troubling me for a long time." Song Qingshu scratched his head. Over the years, his influence in various countries was actually not small, but basically all of it could not see the light of day, which made him extremely vexed.
"I have also been thinking about this problem for you." Zhao Min walked over to the table and poured two cups of tea. She gestured for him to sit down and talk. "Fortunately, I have been under house arrest for this period of time, so I have plenty of time and energy to think about this problem."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "In my opinion, there are two ways."
Song QingShu also perked up. "I'd like to hear the details!"
Zhao Min replied. "The first, which I think is the best, is to use the power of the Mongols to sweep through the divided world. Then, you can take advantage of the time when they have not completely digested the power of the various regions. With us as spies, and with the help of those who hate the Mongols, you can overthrow the Mongols and establish a new dynasty. This way, even in history, there is no one who has been more righteous than you." Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. Of all the emperors of China, no one was more righteous than Zhu Yuanzhang. First, he came from a humble background, and second, he drove out the Tartars and restored China. If he followed Zhao Min's suggestion, he might really be able to emulate him.
"What about the second?"
"The second is to learn from Cao Cao, Sima Yi, hmm, Yang Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin. Take advantage of the crisis of the Mongols' invasion, and when the countries have no choice but to rely on you, step by step, become the most powerful officials. Then, when the time is right, usurp their country." Zhao Min replied.
Song Qingshu frowned when he heard this. "I'm a man of indomitable spirit. How can I learn from Cao Cao and Sima Zhongda to bully orphans and widows?"
Zhao Min immediately rolled her eyes. "Pfft! Haven't you bullied many orphans and widows over the years? Let's not talk about the distant ones. What about Ya Lun and Hai Weng? "
Song Qingshu choked on his tea, and the momentum he had just accumulated immediately dissipated.
After a long time, Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, "After thinking about it, although the first option is good for me personally, it is destined to bring misery to the people. I don't know how many families will be destroyed, and how many cities will be empty. I'll choose the second option."
Based on the brutal acts of the Mongols in history, it would be good if half of the countries' population could survive.
Zhao Min frowned. "But if it's the second option, I'm afraid your reputation in the future will not be any better than Cao Cao and Sima Yi."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Although it sounds a little pretentious and hypocritical, compared to the safety of the people of the world, my reputation is nothing."
Zhao Min sighed. "You really are too soft-hearted. But I also guessed that you would most likely choose the second option. Fine, I hope you don't forget your original intentions."
Song Qingshu and Zhao Min continued their discussion for a long time. After leaving the Ruyang Palace, he went to the hidden sentries that Zhao Min had set up in Helin City. Although there was no need to notify Galdan, there was still a need to notify Western Xia.
According to Zhao Min's analysis, Temujin would certainly send troops to Western Xia at the same time to restrain them and support Galdan.
At night, he went to Hai Weng and received the latest military intelligence. The Mongols were preparing to send out their armies in three days!
