Chapter 12 Opponents who began to assemble (3)

Zhang Hongfan walked into the Golden Palace with his eyes slightly lowered. Since the Battle of the Yellow River, Zhang Hongfan has gradually developed this kind of walking habit. He was not like this before. Even if he couldn't raise his head high, he would at least look straight in a natural way.

After abandoning 17,000 infantry under the fierce attack of the Song army, he seized the road and fled. After finally escaping his life, Zhang Hongfan was not willing to look up. This was a battle that made Zhang Hongfan feel that he could no longer raise his head. The 17,000 people were soldiers from Zhang Hongfan's hometown, and were considered Zhang Hongfan's troops. If he abandoned them, the blow to Zhang Hongfan was greater than Zhang Hongfan himself imagined.

Standing quietly and listening to the meetings in the court. Zhang Hongfan sometimes felt that the discussions in the court were not as angry as before the Battle of the Yellow River. At that time, the king and minister of the Dayuan had a sense of confidence that nothing in the world was the opponent of the Dayuan. As long as the army was sent, there was no problem that could not be solved.

Even if someone says this now, they are all targeting remote small countries.

"I will send a thousand craftsmen to Dali and other places to pay tribute to each other."

"The small country of Goryeo dared not to pursue tribute, and would send troops to attack. Ali Hague, and ordered you to go to Goryeo and capture 30,000 local people."

"Hao Ren, how are you preparing for the affairs of the military?

"Report to Your Majesty. There are about 20,000 households that can be used as soldiers in the palace. Each household will give one person and bring two horses."

Hearing this, Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but look up. He saw Borjijin Haoren reporting Borjijin Kublai Khan's question. He had said about the affairs of the government soldiers several times in the court. The government soldiers must be local wealthy families. However, Haoren said one and three horses. In this Hebei, will there really be 20,000 families in the family that can afford two horses? Zhang Hongfan was very disbelief.

"Your Majesty, if you follow the previous list, it is naturally not so many. If officials from all over the country were asked to measure the land and verify the population, there should be such a number." Hao Ren replied.

As soon as these words were said, all the ministers stared at Hao Ren. Zhang Hongfan was also one of them. He began to think that Hao Ren was crazy. Measurement of land and verified population was equivalent to a new round of robbery. If this was done, it might be possible to raise 20,000 households. However, Zhang Hongfan would never support Hao Ren's suggestion.

"So you ordered this." Kublai Khan said calmly.

"Your Majesty, no!" The old left prime minister Yao Shu came out tremblingly to express his objection. Seeing his speech, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yao Shu has always been a counselor of Kublai Khan, and he was highly respected in the Dayuan period. Yao Shu lived up to the expectations and said: "The veterans of Dayuan are tired. If they are exhausted in the pond, the country really can't bear it."

Hao Ren had known that he would definitely be subject to fierce opposition, so he said without hesitation: "Prime Minister Zuo did not listen carefully to what I said. I have said before that, under the government army system, if the government army system is used, the government army will no longer be recruiting for war, but government army. If the government army system was used earlier, the Prime Minister's clan in Luoyang would not end up being destroyed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the left prime minister Yao Shu's face turned pale. The Song army did not massacre the city, which was completely different from Mongolia. However, in this bloody era, the Song army's tolerance was only directed at the Han people. Even among the Han people, traitors were never among the protection. Because of Yao Shu's identity, his tribe members in Luoyang were classified as traitors.

Hao Ren did not want to attack Yao Shu deliberately. Now he mentioned Yao Shu's affairs as an introduction. The thousands of households of the Borjijin family said seriously to the civil and military ministers in the court: "Where our Mongolian army goes, we will raise troops to resist in the city, and we will need to massacre the city after breaking the city. Wherever the Song army goes, only the Han people will be left to survive. Everyone in the court does not have to take any luck. If Dayuan is not here, your tribe members will be slaughtered. Your family property will also be divided by the local Han people."

The first half of the words did not touch Zhang Hongfan much, and the last sentence was like a morning bell and evening drum, like lightning and thunder, which instantly hit Zhang Hongfan's heart. When he thought of the poor people around his manor, Zhang Hongfan was full of fear of the future of the destruction of the Great Yuan. The destruction of the Great Yuan means the destruction of the Zhang family!

"Since that's the case, the soldiers of the government are not fighting for the Yuan Dynasty, but fighting for you. Can you tell me that Zhao Jiaren built a state-owned land in the Song Dynasty. All the land will not belong to the private ones, but to the Song court. Those people can collect land from the court like the equal-land system of the Tang Dynasty. I want to ask you, all the families have thousands of hectares of fertile land. After the Song army arrived in Yan land, would they let you go even if it was just to win the hearts of the people?"

Hao Ren had a strong likes to the Song Dynasty, or he had a strong likes to the concepts of the Song Dynasty's Taiwei and Zhao Taiwei. Therefore, when talking about the land state-owned policy of the Song Dynasty, Hao Ren talked about the interests in the middle very thoroughly.

After explaining these thoroughly, Hao Ren made a summary, "The army in the palace is for the Dayuan court. Protecting the Dayuan court means protecting everyone. Everyone, Song State and the Han people in the north are not enemies, but Song State and you are mortal enemies!"

If Zhao Jiaren heard this on the spot, he would definitely not be able to help applaud Borjijin Haoren Wanhu. Because Wanhu talked about the future with both factual and real perspectives, and it was in a very high style.

Zhao Taiwei's enemy was never Han. If he regarded the Han people in the north as his enemy, he would not have exchanged the 50,000 prisoners with Mongolia. Similarly, Zhao Taiwei would not have played any lenient things in this cruel era.

Of course, Zhao Taiwei neither knew what Borjijin Haorenwanhu said, nor was he interested in knowing. As the end of the year, Zhao Taiwei is organizing the resettlement of retired soldiers this year. Tax bureaus have been set up in all areas where land reform are implemented. The Song Dynasty's unified purchase and sales policy requires sufficient grassroots forces in various places.

Taiwei Zhao cannot be transformed into thousands of people, so his philosophy must be implemented with an organization. The purpose of the society is to gather like-minded comrades. Therefore, the work is handed over to the responsible departments, and Taiwei Zhao is giving lectures to the preparatory members of the society.

With the cultural level of the Song Dynasty, people who can become members of the society have no poor understanding. The idea of ​​opposing the vegetarian class has resonated quite well with these members of the society. After talking about the negative performance of the vegetarian class in the general surrender of Lin'an, these preparatory members deeply agree with it.

Zhao Jiaren took a sip of water to rest. Looking at the excited expressions of the students after they learned many "secrets", Zhao Jiaren felt a little emotional. Now he can talk about the problem so clearly because the Mongols helped eliminate these veterinary classes. Originally, Zhao Jiaren felt that the upper class of the Song Dynasty was incompetent at that time, and if he wanted to save the Song Dynasty, he had to solve these people first. After really solving these people, Zhao Jiaren discovered something he had not expected before. He once thought that the guy who could be called the veterinary class must not be incompetent. Now he found that in the face of national crisis, individuals in the veterinary class may not be incompetent, but this class itself must be incompetent and must drag the country into the abyss of destruction.

With such a new understanding, Zhao Jiaren immediately felt overwhelmed and wanted to sit down and write an analysis article.

However, a young member of the school came up and asked timidly: "Taiwei, I am Fang Bo from Raozhou Prefecture on the west road of Jiangnan. After hearing what the Taiwei said before, I felt enlightened, but after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong."

"Oh? What's wrong with that?" Zhao Jiaren was still looking forward to the students who could ask questions.

"My family has a hundred acres of land. If it is owned by the Taiwei land and my family's land is taken away, I will give it another fifty acres. Wouldn't my family lose 50 acres in vain? If the country is useful, we should naturally offer it. But if this is done, I always feel that it seems to be inhumane." Fang Bo was quite happy when he spoke, but at the end, his expression showed nervousness.

When they saw someone asking questions, they naturally came up to listen. After hearing Fang Bo's last words, some people couldn't help but whisper: "Tsk! After all, isn't it still the same place as your home?"

After being criticized like this, the young Fang Bo could not hold back his face. He retorted loudly: "I have said that when the country is in danger, I don't care about these lands."

"Don't fight for now." Zhao Jiaren interrupted this struggle of intent. When the young man calmed down first, he asked Fang Bo, "When you come to Lin'an, what factories have you visited?"

Fang Bo quickly replied, "Before I have time to visit, I come to class directly."

"Can other students visit the factory?" Zhao Jiaren asked the students.

"No." "I haven't seen it yet." The students also answered one after another.

Zhao Jiaren turned to the cadres in charge of the itinerary and said, "Then adjust the course and first explain the overall situation of the Song Dynasty. Then he took these people to visit the factory and enterprises."

"Yes." The responsible cadre responded immediately.

Zhao Jiaren turned around and looked at Fang Bo, but saw the young man with a puzzled expression. He asked with a smile, "But I don't know which job you are doing?"

The school does not recruit students to simple students, those who can come here must have serious work. Fang Bo replied: "I came from the army."

"That means, you have never done anything except farming and joining the army?" Zhao Jiaren confirmed with a quips.

Even though he didn't feel any malice in Zhao Jiaren, Fang Bo couldn't help but say, "I can drive a boat. I've trained it in Poyang Lake."
