Chapter 120 Yellow River Trading Point (10)

The seventh month of the Song Dynasty is about the mid-August month of the Western Calendar. In the territory of the Song Dynasty, the date of the Great Summer is basically the same every year, and it will probably appear around July 23rd of each year. At this time, it is the hottest day of the year.

It was raining the day before, and the ground became muddy and slippery. However, it was only a morning of exposure to the sun and the ground became dry again. Hao Renwan sat upright on the military plaque and looked down from a high place. He saw teams of people gathering on the military parade grounds that were circled out.

Each square formation is one hundred cavalry, led by the Yingyang lieutenant of the military talisman. Every time a square formation comes in, there are statistics. Last year, there were only 10,000 government soldiers in Hebei. Although there is an increase this year, it is still in the approval period. Those who come to gather are the government soldiers who participated in the school review last year.

After the last square formation came in, the thousand households in charge of checking immediately came to report, "Ten thousand households, a total of 2,178 people. All of them arrived."

Hao Ren's face was not happy. His eyes swept over the soldiers who were ordered to gather, and his eyes became colder. This kind of square formation of ten by ten is easy to count. The soldiers were all holding horses, so they stood more neatly. There were 22 square formations in total, and one square formation was slightly insufficient. The number should be enough.

It is not easy to get all the staff, but Hao Renwanhu was not happy about it. In fact, after arriving in southern Hebei, Hao Renwanhu was in a bad mood. He could still recall the meeting that made him feel particularly bad.

"Haoren and thousands of households can eat food, but not talk nonsense. My Song Dynasty officials have never been to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, so naturally they cannot say that they will escape famine south of the Yellow River. Since you question us, you want to have any evidence. Please show us."

After hearing the envoys of Song State talk, Hao Ren felt annoyed. This was just like talking about releasing the nobles of Song State captured by Dayuan. Since neither side could actually invest in this matter, there would naturally be no result. If Song State really wanted Dayuan to hand over the captured nobles of Song State, he would beat Dayuan to the ground all over the world. At that time, Dayuan would really consider exchanging nobles.

By the same token, if Da Yuan wants the Song Dynasty to implement a decision that is beneficial to Da Yuan, he has to kill Da Song to a sea of ​​corpses and blood. Such a pride and oral confrontation is actually meaningless.

"Then please read this letter." Hao Ren took out the evidence and threw it in front of the envoy of Song State. Although many things are meaningless, they must be done. This is the significance of negotiation. When there is such a channel, both sides can at least do meaningless things. Once there is no such channel, all that is left is war.

Both the envoys of the Song Dynasty knew the court's orders. The court told the people south of the Yellow River that because of disasters north of the Yellow River, as long as they were willing to guarantee, they could write letters to relatives north of the Yellow River and ask them to come over to spend the disaster on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

When I picked up the letter, I saw that the content was like this, and there was no part beyond the facts. Su Yong put down the letter and questioned Hao Ren with confidence, "What does this have to do with the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty's territory?"

"Just let the people of Song State pull us from the Yuan Dynasty." Hao Ren insisted on the nature of what happened.

"This is the people of the Song Dynasty who requested the government to do things with compassion. The stump makes us watch the people starve to death?"

"Whether the people starve to death is our Dayuan business. Don't worry about the Song State!" Hao Ren felt that looking at the meaningless negotiation, he finally talked about some meaningful issues.

"It is their relatives who are worried about the lives and deaths of the people of Hebei, not our Song Dynasty government." Su Yong corrected Hao Ren's remarks.

Such a trick has no effect on Hao Renwanhu. He did not even refute it, but continued: "As long as we meet the people from Song State in Hebei, we will do everything according to spies."

Such a tough attitude could not affect the envoy of the Song Dynasty at all. Su Yong sneered: "But I don't know what the people of Hebei would think of your Mongolian court when they saw you kill their relatives."

The meeting ended in a bad mood. Then Hao Ren ordered that all the soldiers in southern Hebei gather. Before coming out of Dadu this time, Hao Ren had already told Kublai Khan about his arrangements, one of which was to gain the power to assemble the soldiers. Kublai Khan also agreed to Hao Ren's request. If he could not assemble the soldiers, how could he know the current situation of the soldiers? Although some people would definitely doubt whether Hao Ren would use the soldiers to rebel, Kublai Khan was not worried.

In the following days, Hao Renwanhu found that his anger was stronger than he had originally imagined. In the Mongolian court, Hao Ren was recognized as a moderate. For the people, he was also considered a representative figure who loved the people and raised them. In the mouths of officials of the Song State, Hao Ren became a bad guy who did not care about the lives of the people at all.

Now all the soldiers in the palace gathered, with a large number of people. Hao Renwanhu spoke to the soldiers in the palace.

"Everyone. The locust plague in Hebei this year flew from Henan. I was so happy to see our suffering in the Song Kingdom in Henan. You can only think about it and know that we have fought so many battles with them and we suffer. Of course they are happy." Because they are full of emotions, Hao Renwanhu's voice is extremely contagious. However, even in Hebei, the local accent gap is also very large, so a considerable number of the soldiers in the palace did not react strongly.

"This time we call everyone to know that the court will not let everyone suffer. This time the court has a constitution, and anyone in the local area who feels short of food can apply for relief from the court. The court will help solve the problem. So after everyone goes back, they will tell the villagers the news, and when the people sent by the court go, they can find someone to talk about it."

Hao Ren told the news, and the atmosphere on the temporary proofreading venue became a little lively. Looking at the changes in the expressions of the people below, Hao Ren continued: "As for you, you are all from the court, so don't compete with these poor people."

The matter this time was that simple. After Hao Ren talked about this, he did not immediately disband the soldiers. He reviewed the soldiers. The subjects of the soldiers included riding horses and chopping and assassination while riding horses. In terms of simple performance, the soldiers performed much better than half a year ago. This made Hao Ren feel much better. He was always worried that the soldiers only gathered the troops and did not train very well. The simple number was meaningless. Mongolia proved that a well-trained army could defeat several times its own mobs. When the Mongolian army faced the Song army with the same number as its own, it was defeated by the Song army with better training. Facts proved that when the well-known military system in Chinese history was normal operation, these soldiers did receive very good military training.

After sending off the troops, Hao Ren went to meet the officials in Dezhou with a pretty good mood. The magistrate here was named Ensinma, and he knew that he was not a Han person. Ensinma was a Mongolian. According to the Yuan system set by Kublai Khan, all local officials must be held by the Mongols. Originally, Kublai Khan conquered the city and occupied the territory, and the number of Mongolian officials was insufficient. At this time, only Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi were left. This contradiction was fundamentally resolved.

Members of the Golden Family are extremely noble in the Mongolian race, and Ensinma is extremely respectful to Hao Renwanhu. After hearing Hao Renwanhu's request to prepare his manpower to go to the countryside, Ensinma did not ask questions, but replied very cooperatively: "But I don't know how many manpower is needed."

"Can a thousand people be made?" Hao Ren asked. He also felt that the number was actually not small. Unexpectedly, Ensinma immediately replied: "As long as it is not used for war, a thousand people can of course."

"Where are 1,500 people?" Hao Ren said the numbers he personally agrees with.

"Yes." Ensimma replied immediately.

"Then hurry up and do it. I can do it." Hao Renwanhu gave the order.

"Apart from this, does Wanhu have anything else to serve me?"

"As long as these 1,500 people can do things, it's fine." Hao Ren answered decisively.

After Ensinma left, Hao Renwanhu couldn't help but take two deep breaths. This action was very important to him. As Marshal Boyan said, this time it must be able to completely defeat the Song Dynasty's infiltration of the Yuan Dynasty.

Hao Renwanhu's actions were quickly transmitted from Dezhou to Jinan through the Dasong intelligence network. Jinan only knew that Hao Renwanhu wanted local food-deficient people to apply for food. This request surprised the intelligence department of Dasong. Dasong could not achieve such a level of management. With the Mongolian management system, can the level of food supply based on the application?

At the meeting held, everyone was very puzzled. Just as everyone was discussing, the correspondent sent the news provided by Section Chief Liu Chong in Dongying, which was the same as the one from Dezhou. The information was confirmed, indicating that what Dezhou said was correct. The director did not say anything, and Section Chief Song couldn't help saying: "If we provide relief here, we will ask the village to submit it to the township, and the county will also ask the township to review it. Mongolia directly targeted the village, and it would not be possible no matter how we look at it."

"We have not heard of food being sent to the south until now. I am afraid that the Mongolians are just playing tricks that are not worthy of the word." Some people expressed this view. Most people agreed, and the few who disagree only felt that the Mongolians would not do such ineffective things because of their urinary nature.

Finally, the director came out to make a judgment, "Let's write that when the Mongolians could not do it, they asked the local people to apply for rations."

This suggestion was very appropriate and was unanimously agreed by the intelligence department staff. Section Chief Song said: "In the news we received this time, the Mongolians were very concerned about the officials allowing relatives from the northern part of the Song people to escape famine south of the Yellow River. Do they really have so many Han people inclined to us?"

The director disagreed with this issue and said, "Hasn't it been investigated before? If we fight, we are afraid that more than 30% of the Han people will fight us. The Han people who help us will never exceed 5%.

"If this is the case, why do the Mongolians mind so much? Should we mention it in the report?" said Section Chief Song, who was in charge of publicity.

Many people heard the meaning of it. This is a good opportunity to flatter. At first, everyone did not expect that the actions of the government could trigger such a fierce reaction from Mongolia. In a sense, it can also prove the wisdom of the government.

The director shook his head, "There is no conclusion. Everyone thinks that the officials may be happy to read this news, but you think about it. If someone follows this idea, we have fought the Yellow River and a large number of people will welcome the royal army. After the battle, they will see the Han people in Hebei fighting to the death. What will happen to those who provide such news at that time?"

After listening to the future described by the director, the urge to gain benefits in these people was extinguished a lot. Everyone said too much, with the purpose of making the superior happy and then getting benefits. Therefore, this trick must not bring negative consequences. The director clearly told everyone that this kind of speech requires responsibility. So everyone became depressed. Although this kind of words is not malicious, there is also a very clear and untrue situation in it.

Seeing that no one was doing such a trick again, the director said, "Don't make people think that we have hints in this regard when writing. Of course, there is no need to deliberately say that there is nothing to do with it, that's not right."

With the backbone, a very simple and simple report was sent to the General Administration of Information of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, Kaifeng Prefect Wen Tianxiang also wrote a brilliant report. In the report, the prefect Wen wrote a very vivid picture of the tragic situation of the victims in Hebei. When the Congo was in trouble, their food was eaten by locusts. The harvest now is the people who eat the food they harvest with bran. All the animals in the wild have run away, and farmers can only catch snakes, insects, rats and ants to feed.

The Zhao official family ordered relatives of the people of the Song Dynasty to take refuge in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Before the news could take effect, Mongolia had already ordered a ban. Although Wen Tianxiang felt that the people of Hebei were pitiful, he felt a little relieved, because Henan was also suffering from disasters, and the food in Bianliang is not enough to accept a large number of victims.

If the victims cause trouble and cause chain effects, I am afraid that Henan will not be able to bear such risks.

In the article, Prefect Wen did not mention the huge influence of the Zhao Guan family's orders. The Jinan Intelligence Department was because of the director's simple style, while Prefect Wen was because of his arrogance. Prefect Wen was already quite arrogant, and it was much less difficult to criticize the Zhao Guan family than to let him blow the snails for the Zhao Guan family.

However, the attitude of the Bianliang Intelligence Department is different, because the Intelligence Department is not affiliated with Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no question of who is mainly based on the argument between the reports on both sides. Kaifeng Prefecture directly wrote that the order of Zhao Guan family made Dayuan feel huge pressure and responded decisively.
