Chapter 66: The 320th New Year's Day of the Song Dynasty (6)

Zhao Jiaren, the Zhao Guan Family was born in the 280th year of the Song Dynasty and became a county magistrate in Putian in 294. The fourteen-year-old Zhao Guan Family had to do everything he encountered. As the Zhao Guan Family became higher and higher and more subordinates, his work was more and more to his subordinates.

In the 320th year of the Song Dynasty, when Zhao Guan's family was 40 years old, he only had to be responsible for making strategic decisions about the Three Buddhas, and the corresponding work was completed by the corresponding departments.

This does not mean that the Zhao Guan family has lived a leisurely life with just giving some strategic orders every day. For example, the Zhao Guan family now has a report submitted by Kaifeng Prefect Wen Tianxiang on the desk.

"…Mongolia raged in Henan so that Henan was uninhabited thousands of miles away. The canal did not exist, and it was difficult to transfer. After the straits and entering Luoyang, it was difficult to survive if only tens of thousands of soldiers were in full swing. With the heroic and powerful officials, the battle of the Yellow River could not achieve complete success..."

Wen Tianxiang has a fierce personality and speaks very straightforwardly. Zhao Jiaren does not hate this, but this article is full of literati discourses that lack data foundation, which makes Zhao Jiaren feel very uncomfortable. After reading this article, he is a more pragmatic description of Zhao Jiaren's inability to pursue all his strength after the Battle of the Yellow River. It was not that Zhao Jiaren did not want to pursue all his strength, but did not dare to pursue all his strength. He was only tens of thousands of people at that time. After a long marching, construction and fighting, the troops were already very tired. The Yuan army was in Hebei and other places, and it was not a problem to kill one day earlier and one day later. The Song army's elite losses could not be made up for it. Be careful.

The main meaning of this memorial is that before Wen Tianxiang arrived in Henan, he felt that he could restore local production and increase taxes more quickly. However, after he arrived in Henan, he discovered that Henan had been devastated by Mongolia and had a sparse population, so even if it had a large amount of land, it could not be used. In addition, the local natural environment was very bad after two years of returning to the north. Therefore, Wen Tianxiang frankly stated that in the future, the Northern Expedition would probably not be able to rely on obtaining stable food from Henan.

Zhao Jiaren fought in Henan, and the situation he saw was actually similar to what Wen Tianxiang described. The biggest problem that caused Henan to be unable to develop was safety. Joining the Yuan army and implementing breakthroughs was not possible. Zhao Jiaren could not guarantee that the Song army could defend such a long Yellow River. Everyone was not stupid, and they were not as good as having no other way except to go to Henan. His life was still very important.

In order to make Henan safe, the Song Dynasty was about to take back Hebei. In order to seize Hebei, about 300,000 troops had to be sent to Hebei to fight. Even if each person had one and a half pounds of food every day, a three hundred days of war would mean 145 million pounds of food.

It is difficult to hoard 145 million kilograms of food. What is even more difficult is that the storage and transportation of these foods will continue to change. In fact, there must be about 300,000 logistics personnel invested in the war, which means that the food supply must reach 300,000 kilograms.

In order to collect such huge grain, the best solution is to maximize the restoration of agricultural production in Henan.

This logic that connects the head and tail looks ridiculous, but it is a logical reality. Many times, the reason why a beautiful future cannot be realized is because of this seemingly absurd but real reason.

The Song Dynasty officials were arranging future wars, and the Yuan Dynasty was not idle either. Borjijin Haorenwanhu respectfully said to Kublai Khan in the palace: "Your Majesty, we have informed the soldiers of the government and let them go home after the training and exercise..."

Speaking of this, Hao Renwanhu could no longer speak. He became unhappy when he saw Kublai Khan's face. At this moment, Marshal Boyan spoke, "Your Majesty, we can't speak without trust like the Southern Barbarians."

It can be seen that the words of Marshal Boyan touched Kublai Khan. His face changed for a moment and he said angrily: "I will give the order, and let the soldiers in the palace receive the reward and then go back."

After hearing His Majesty Kublai Khan's words, Hao Ren felt that all the households were pardoned and felt that all the pounds of weight on his shoulders had been removed. At this moment, Hao Ren heard Kublai Khan say dissatisfiedly: "Hao Ren, what does your expression mean just now?"

Dahan is 65 years old this year and has completely entered his old age. When the old man spoke in such a blameful tone, Hao Ren could only answer: "I was a little anxious just now, please don't blame Dahan."

Kublai Khan said dissatisfiedly: "What's there to be anxious? Is it wrong for the soldiers of the palace to be the Red Army of the Ma? "

Hao Ren has read the full text of Han Feizi's "Talking Difficult" and knows that the existence of monarchs is so unreasonable most of the time. What's more, Kublai Khan has made concessions, so Hao Ren and he dare not talk nonsense.

Seeing Hao Ren lowered his head, Kublai Khan did not pursue him. There would be a lot of things to do in the court this time, and Kublai Khan's decision to turn the troops in the palace into the Red Army of the Mass. He let Hao Ren go.

When the court meeting ended, Hao Ren, who was uncomfortable, left the court. However, he did not dare to believe Kublai Khan's conduct so much. It was not until the 11th day of the first lunar month that all the soldiers from all over the country embarked on the road to return home, and Hao Ren's family felt relieved. He returned home with lingering fear and entered the bedroom door. Hao Ren lay directly on the bed, and his whole body felt as if he was hollowed out.

Kublai Khan had a high evaluation of the soldiers in the palace. After one month of training, the riding level they showed during the school reading exceeded Kublai Khan's imagination. So there was a case where Kublai Khan wanted the soldiers to explore the soldiers of the horse. Fortunately, the head of Hao Renwan's household advised him and General Boyan was helping, and finally temporarily stopped Kublai Khan's impulse to directly incorporate these cavalry into the Khan's personal army.

Because it was cold, Bao Xiruo and his children continued to spend the winter in Xiaotangshan. After lying for a while, Wanhu decided to go to Xiaotangshan to reunite with his wife and children. If he continued to stay here, he would be too worried.

As soon as he got up, he saw his relatives walking here. Before Hao Renwanhu could praise his relatives in his heart for being good at observing words and expressions, he began to report from a distance, "Master, Magistrate Boyan is here!"

Hao Ren was stunned and immediately ordered: "Please invite Magistrate Boyan to the main house immediately!"

Looking at the back of his follower, Hao Ren felt a little strange. Why did Marshal Boyan come? No matter how strange it was, Hao Ren did not intend to receive him. Marshal Boyan helped Hao Ren with great help in the matter of the mansion. Now it is very necessary to continue communicating with Marshal Boyan to see what he meant in this matter.

When the two important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty met, General Boyan first spoke: "I admire the beginning and ending of thousands of households this time."

After receiving such a high evaluation, Hao Renwanhu laughed a little embarrassedly. In fact, he also felt that it was not easy for him. He had to withstand the pressure from the prince's real gold, cooperate effectively with the right prime minister Ahema, let the local government take action, and carefully judge the achievements of the Yingyang Mansion general sent by Mongolia.

After getting over the numerous things, Hao Ren did not expect that his greatest supporter, Kublai Khan, would also begin to be obsessed with interests. In the Mongolian culture, cavalry has a very high status. In the eyes of the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan, the soldiers in the palace were like the strong wind blowing down the pile of firewood, which were all my goods. Seeing such good soldiers, I would first hug them into my own basket.

However, one of the core of the government military system is to serve for a limited period of time, and only gather to fight when wars occur, and return to their hometown on weekdays. In this way, these military families will not feel like they have lost their children. If Kublai Khan is allowed to take him away when he sees the good, he will become a recruitment of the Red Army to explore the horse. The Great Khan may have been satisfied with obtaining a large number of cavalry, while the government military system will soon fall apart because of its destruction.

"Thank you, Marshal, for your help," said Hao Ren.

"Just say one or two words can help ten thousand households, of course I am willing to help." Marshal Boyan said briefly.

Thanking the Grand Marshal again, Hao Ren asked, "But I don't know what instructions the Grand Marshal has for coming here?"

Marshal Boyan said: "Now the Mongolian navy is basically useless. If these people become infantry soldiers, I want Wanhu to help rectify them."

After hearing this, Hao Ren felt very sad. He was born in a navy army, but he didn't expect that the navy would be lifted from the sequence of the Yuan army so soon. But there was nothing he could do about this. Hao Ren had known that this was just a matter of time. The sea of ​​the Yuan Dynasty was completely surrounded by the Song army, and the military ships could not leave the sea at all. The navy in the inland river was occupied by the Song State because it was returned to Xiangyang and occupied the south of the Yellow River by the Song State, and the navy had no space to use.

Even so, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh: "Let's leave a thousand households for the navy. If the navy disperses, it will not be easy to form it. Although we can't leave the Bohai Sea, at least we still have Goryeo. It's not impossible to use it at the critical moment."

"Well. If Wanhu is willing to manage this, this matter will naturally be decided by Wanhu." Marshal Boyan expressed his support.

Hao Ren had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the mansion soldiers. He asked, "I am going to report to the Khan about the affairs of the mansion soldiers. If the Khan is willing to agree, I can handle the affairs of the navy."

"Of course, I will talk to the Khan," said Dashan, Massachusetts Boyan, who cooperated with Hao Renwanhu.

After receiving such a guarantee, Hao Ren and Wanhu felt relieved. However, after sending away General Boyan, Hao Ren began to feel uncomfortable again. If Hao Ren had not continued to preside over the matter, how would those who took over deal with the system of the government? As long as the people who took over did not dare to fight against Kublai Khan, when more soldiers in the government will participate in school reviews and training next year, the Khan said, "Plusting the soldiers into my personal army", and the successor will probably surrender. Then the government army will be finished. Hao Ren's efforts will turn into nothing...
