Tiemur's remarks were reversing too quickly. He had been thinking about whether to stick to Dadu or abandon the guards and flee into the grassland. Now he talked about counterattacking the Southern Dynasty and even regaining Jiangnan. This made the ministers' minds go far and wide, and it was difficult to keep up with the Khan's ideas, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Khan, the only soldiers who can fight in the two routes of Hebei that are the left and right guards, and some town garrison troops, are less than 50,000 troops. The guards around the capital have entered the capital, and the troops are only less than 100,000. The troops who are rushing to the royal army are only some Shanxi guards and 30,000 troops in Liaoyang Province. The kings and soldiers in Lingbei are still on the way. The guards are still insufficient, so how can they have the strength to fight back!" An Tong thought for a while and said.

"No!" Tiemur waved his hand and said, "I received a report that the Ministry of War in the Zhongshu Province conscripted 100,000 civilian troops and 20,000 war horses; Shige, the Zhendu capital, also reported that they had recruited 30,000 civilian troops; 10,000 marching, and 10,000 households. Gaocheng ordered Dong Wenzhi to disperse his family's wealth to recruit 10,000 heroes from all directions, and all the men of the clan joined the army to fight against the Southern Dynasties; Zhang Gui also reported that he had recruited 30,000 heroes in Baozhou, bought 2,000 horses, and collected soldiers from Hebei Road stationed in prefectures and counties, and obtained 20,000 soldiers."

"In this way, our dynasty's military strength is no less than that of the Southern Dynasties. At present, civilians everywhere will fight to the death. The Southern Dynasties invaded thousands of miles north, and they were already trapped in the army and were divided into many troops. As long as they chose one way to attack it, they would lose support and make it difficult to take care of each other, so they had to retreat. At this time, the army that served the kings of our dynasty had arrived, and the pursuit and killing of the defeated army could be accomplished!"

"Khan, the Southern Dynasties dispatched troops from all over the country. There were more than ten troops of the imperial guards with the Ming number, reaching more than 300,000. There were a large number of state troops transferred north to the rear, with troops not less than 200,000. They were all trained elite troops. The troops in our dynasty seemed to be equal to them, but most of them were newly recruited Ding Zhuang and the rural soldiers. They were not trained and lacked military wars, so they could fight in the city, but they were not opponents when they fought against the enemy!" An Tong jumped up with his head, thinking that the child had not yet woken up last night's wine and was talking nonsense, but he could only persuade him patiently.

"The Han army in the Central Plains that Hebei helped our dynasty to attack Jin and Song back then were all powerful. The local tycoons recruited were able to attack and fight well, fight bravely, and win all the battles, and make great achievements for our dynasty. Even though we have been peaceful for a long time, how could we lose to those southerners in our lifetime?" Tie Muer thought that his words were exaggerated and refused to believe the authenticity.

"Da Khan, what Ping Zhang said is true." Seeing that Dahan didn't believe it, An Tong winked at Korigis, who was sitting on the verge of his hand, and he pondered for a moment.

"Did you also lose the courage to fight the Southern Army and be scared by their fear?" Tiemuer was furious when he saw this and pointed at him and shouted.

"Khan, the Song army suddenly stopped attacking when the offensive was in full swing. I thought it was not exhausted and could not fight. I just turned to rest and planned to fight again after spring, and did not have the power to fight again." Korigis was moved by it, but continued, "There are only two thousand garrison troops stationed in Zhending Prefecture and five hundred garrison troops, but they lived in the rear for a long time and were lazy in training. It was still acceptable to deal with the bandits and riots, but they could not compete with the Southern Dynasties."

"In addition, the people in our dynasty are not allowed to hold weapons, and they are prohibited from gathering to practice martial arts to prevent chaos. Therefore, the people's martial arts style has become weak, and their courage has disappeared, which is incomparable to those who were once. Even those former Han marquis who were accused of the titles have no intention of rebellion, their descendants have mostly abandoned martial arts and practiced literature. They are not familiar with military affairs, so how can they fight against the army of the Southern Dynasties that have fought against the army of hundreds of wars in the Southern Dynasties?"

"There was an edict from the Khans that ordered all prefectures and counties to summon village brawls to use winter leisure to practice combat skills to prepare for war. But now they are negligent in training. Could it be that you are deceived by the Holy Listen?" Tiemur asked after hearing this.

"Khan, it is not allowed to hold weapons in the countryside. Those who have privately hiding crossbows are punished for death. Even those rich families are not allowed to have weapons and armor. The village heroes can only hold sticks when training. The county arsenals reserved only a hundred weapons and only ten wards and arrows. How to train? Even if they suddenly recruited the township heroes, it would be difficult to have so many armored equipment. How to fight the Southern Army!" An Tong sighed.

Tiemuer was stunned when he heard this, his face was gloomy. He understood that no matter which dynasty or dynasty, the emperor was supreme rule. However, any emperor had a common heart disease, that is, he was afraid of being replaced by others. Therefore, he had to use all methods to protect it. For this reason, the emperor's most feared thing was rebellion, rebellion and other activities aimed at overthrowing the imperial power.

The best way is of course to prevent it before it happens. As long as anyone has signs of rebellion, he should take action first. However, how to judge rebellion? The most important thing is to rely on violent means. Simply put, it is to require people, especially military. Therefore, the control of weapons has become a key task in all dynasties.

There is a saying in this way, "There is no ban on armor and soldiers". Sometimes it is okay to raise servants and private soldiers of a certain scale, but they cannot privately hide armor. There is also the so-called "one armor tops three crossbows, three armors enter the underworld", which means that in ancient times, one armor could be used to offset three bows and arrows, and privately hiding armor needed to be confiscated and exterminated.

It is so strict because kitchen knives and hoes are necessary for the people. It is natural to have these things at home, but if you have armor, you can be killed on the spot without trial. Because a pair of armor is valuable, it is not affordable for ordinary people. The complex production of armor and the time-consuming and laborious preparation of armor is not enough. It is impossible for the people to concentrate resources to make armor on a large scale.

But if you own a forging organization, then this person's strength will definitely not be simple. Work like forging armor cannot be done by anyone. Not only does it have certain requirements for the quality of the material, but later splicing and forging also have special techniques. Moreover, the money spent on a set of armor is not a small amount, and ordinary craftsmen cannot take it down at all.

Therefore, those who are able to win over elite craftsmen and open high-standard forging factories must have strong financial resources and rights. If they borrow government agencies to forge armor, it will be even more powerful. This person must have a high status in the court. After all, it is impossible to collude with staff in all aspects without any prestige and means.

That is, ordinary people have no financial resources or ability to forge armor. Those who have "hope" to build armor are either local aristocratic tribes or warlords, or palace officials or nobles. These groups not only have strong financial resources, but also have varying degrees of appeal. After some of them accumulate capital to a certain level, some rebellious activities are likely to occur.

Because in war, armor is a means of protection for soldiers. Even if they start fighting, the sword may not necessarily be dominant in war. But for a country, it is a reflection of the comprehensive strength of a country. In war, the opponent will not hurt me with a knife, but I can kill the opponent, which will cause great psychological pressure to the enemy.

Therefore, soldiers with excellent armor can fight against three, and can even guarantee that they will not die under the siege of ten people, and the war with armor is too strong. In the eyes of the court, since wearing armor means preparing for battle, and having armor means recruiting soldiers and horses, and there is suspicion of rebellion. Without the permission of the court, whoever holds armor will be charged with a crime of rebellion.

Even the important officials of the court were no exception. For example, Zhou Yafu during the Western Han Dynasty, he attacked the rebels of the seven kingdoms for Emperor Jing of Han and was appointed as a general and a title of marquis. Who would have thought that such a great hero would be reported to have his armor hidden in his home? This was a serious crime of treason at that time. Even the heroes like Zhou Yafu were not spared, so he was sent to a prison and eventually died of a hunger strike.

As a Mongolian, Tiemur knew better that the number of Han people was large, while the number of Mongolians was only one million, and the population was very different. Therefore, he had always been strict with the Han people and also had the strictest control of civil weapons and armor.

Not only the Criminal Law stipulates that those Han people hold weapons should be prohibited; those who are in charge of Han people should be sold as soldiers cannot be restrained. Those who sell military weapons should be sold and those who should hold hands cannot be restrained. Among the people, there are iron rulers, iron bones, and those who hold swords and iron sticks should be prohibited. Those who have privately kept full armor will be executed; those who do not have a mate will be beaten for fifty-seven years, and those who can be penetrated under the scattered armor will be beaten for thirty-seven years. Those who have privately owned guns, swords, or crossbows, will be executed; those who have privately owned guns, ninety-seven years, and those who have privately owned guns, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned guns, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, and those who have privately owned bows, thirty-seven years, are one pair.

There are even more places where Han people are not allowed to own iron tools, and they are worried that they will use iron tools to cast knives and even the door knockers on the doors of the people's houses will be removed. He even heard that in the early years of the founding of the country, soldiers went down to collect iron, and when they saw the rivets on the shoes of Han people, they would be pulled away. Therefore, the people did not even have iron farm tools at home, and they all used wooden forks and wooden rakes.

Tie Muer was a little annoyed. This was like putting a trap for himself. So many young men recruited at the moment, but they were actually untrained and ignorant farmers. The local Shangxiang Gong didn't even have swords and guns. Did he ask them to fight with farm tools and sticks? He felt that no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was going to die.

"Khan, don't worry. All the local important towns in our dynasty have arsenal to store armored guards and crossbows. Zhending and Baozhou are both important military towns. There must be a large number of equipment that will allow them to use armed rural bravery to fight against the Southern Army!" Li Siyan reported at this time.

"This..." I thought of the tens of thousands of armed Han people in the capital, Tiemur hesitated a little again.

"Khan, don't take too much into consideration when it is extraordinary. At present, everything is to repel the Southern Army!" An Tong sighed in his heart when he saw that Khan was hesitant again.
