Chapter 212 Confrontation that spreads upward (fourteen)

"The average lifespan of the official families in the Song Dynasty was 51 years old. The official families were already fifty years old, and I think they will be in the near future."

"But Emperor Gaozong lived to be 81 years old. Today's official family doesn't look like they die for a short life..."

"Gaozong is a descendant of Taizong, and the current official family is a descendant of Taizu. The children of Taizu family are generally short-lived."

"If this is true, it would be great. We have already started to sell some land."

"Our temple has not sold land yet. However, after New Year's Day, there is still no tenant, so we have to start selling land."

"Oh..., it's better for the official family to return to heaven as soon as possible. Wuliang Heavenly Lord."

"Amitabha."

...

A large amount of intelligence recorded such content continued to flow into the hands of the Intelligence Bureau and the Anti-Trait Commission. Liu Chong, chairman of the Anti-Trait Commission, looked at the thick list with many new names, and no longer felt angry. He was very angry, but later he found out that the result of being so angry was that he was pissed to death before he wiped out the traitor. He reached out to pat the roster and Liu Chong went to see Zhao Jiaren. When he saw Zhao Guanjia, Liu Chong asked calmly: "The official family, the traitor has almost searched, can he close the Internet?"

"Don't worry. Keep waiting." Zhao Jiaren replied calmly.

"Now they have no forgiveness..."

"It's still a long way to go. In just two years, these people will sell their land in large quantities. Liu Chong, what do you think will happen to them at that time?"

"More heartbroken?"

"No. Their core personnel will drive the peripheral personnel away,"

Liu Chong was stunned. He didn't care about the future of those scumbags at all. If possible, he would want to catch people now. After listening to the official's description of the future, Liu Chong thought for a moment and replied, "I'll wait a little longer."

"Stay calm." Zhao Jiaren encouraged, "I also want to see those scammers receive the punishment they deserve."

After seeing Liu Chong off, Zhao Jiaren took out the "Great Song Military Newspaper" that Liu Chong had put in from the drawer. As the manager, he was very sad in many places. Someone secretly spread the news, relying on seeing the newspaper on Zhao Jiaren's desk. That guy could accurately judge what Zhao Jiaren was paying attention to by relying on such clues.

There is no special content in this Great Song Army newspaper. Zhao Jiaren only cares about the word "x family army". In the 21st century, Zhao Jiaren saw the "x family army" in history and felt how heroic his ancestors were. Now Zhao Jiaren discovered that even a great hero like Yue Fei was under his command. If he really had a certain title of "yue family army", Zhao Jiaren probably wanted to kill people. Now Zhao Jiaren was already flying in his mind about arresting, interrogating, and purging.

After spending a lot of effort, Zhao Jiaren forced these negative emotions into the small dark room in his mind. He ordered: "Please come here, Major General Wu Ziyang."

The Major General is one of Zhao Jiaren's instructors and students who arranged education and care for Zhao Qian. These people are also people who Zhao Jiaren thinks are very reliable. In the future, Zhao Jiaren will establish an important military and political work system. Since Zhao Jiaren believes in them, he speaks very directly, "Major General Wu, I want to give you a task. Check if there is any statement about the x-family army in each unit."

"...I asked a little, maybe the people in the military newspaper were saying this." Wu Ziyang had obviously paid attention to this topic.

"This is no longer important. I want to determine whether there is such a statement in the grassroots troops."

"The official family, with the current system, the grassroots..."

Zhao Jiaren interrupted Wu Ziyang and said seriously: "What I want is a clear investigation report. If you want to prove the system construction so far, you cannot think about it in Hangzhou. Without investigation, you will have no say."

"Yes." Wu Ziyang agreed immediately.

In addition to the single line, Zhao Jiaren also assigned tasks to the members of the army. In name, it is naturally not a matter of investigating whether there is a "x family army". However, if you prepare accurately, you can actually do a lot. After finishing this, Zhao Jiaren felt that he was in a slightly better mood. Operations in various war zones require time and manpower, so it is much easier in the "Da Song Army Daily" in Hangzhou. Zhao Jiaren directly used intelligence personnel to start a careful investigation.

At this time, Major General Wu Ziyang had already left Beijing. If you see the Zhao Guan family's actions, you will definitely feel how relaxed and comfortable it would be to leave Beijing. In the past, from Hangzhou to the Yinshan War Zone established last year, the most recent method was to take a waterway. Now the situation is completely different. Wu Ziyang took a boat along the canal and headed north along the canal. The eyesight was full of lush forests.

The canal needs water sources to continuously replenish water. Zhao Guanjia’s requirements for this environment are very consistent, planting trees to maintain water sources and reducing silt and sand into the river channel. The wide canal channel is steaming car ships, with various lighthouses guiding it, and the ships sail almost day and night.

The north end of Tongji Canal is very close to the Yellow River, but the sediment content in the Yellow River water is too high. Tongji Canal actually uses water sources such as Luoshui. At the end of the canal, there are waterways leading to the Yellow River. In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal and entered the Yellow River from Tongji Canal. After sailing for a short time, he could enter the Yongji Canal. From Yongji Canal, he arrived at the destination Youzhou. Now there is no excavation of the Yongji Canal, and the plan to fully restore the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui was to take a horse and start heading north.

Go north through the mountain path, walk through the Bayang of Taihang, cross the Yinshan Mountains from Zhangjiakou, and arrive at the Yinshan War Zone. It has already snowed south of Yinshan Mountain. After passing Yehu Ridge and entering north of Yinshan Mountain, everything you see is even more vast. The undulating land is covered with thick snow. If there are no guards or guides on both sides of the road, you will not know where you are.

"Are you here in the snow?" Yang Tiexin, commander of the Yinshan War Zone, said the first thing he said was a question. If this was a greeting, it would probably be even more heartwarming.

Wu Ziyang, who was already cold, wanted to smile, but couldn't laugh. Today is the fifth day of the 12th month, which was almost the coldest time. He said effortlessly: "Hurry." They really have to hurry up. The sky is cloudy at this time. If they don't hurry up, it will be even worse if they get up. After all, they arrived at their destination just after noon, and it looked no different from the evening.

"You guys have suffered a lot." Yang Tiexin sighed. In such a winter, even the Mongols dare not go out, and they will die if they go out. In other words, the Song army can only advance in the snow with the previous construction.

These guys who were so cold were placed beside the stove and roasted. Brown sugar ginger soup was brought up. The body temperature rose. The guys were sleepy. The warm kang was ready, so they washed their feet. In the warm and soft quilt, Wu Ziyang fell asleep instantly.

It was the next morning when they woke up. The hungry people were awakened by the wake-up call. They put on their clothes and entered the cafeteria under the guidance of the guards. Before dawn, the cafeteria was brightly lit. The soldiers were wearing military coats that could cover their calves and lined up neatly in the cafeteria.

There were many people in the cafeteria and huge iron stoves, and the temperature felt good. According to the Song army system, the officers and soldiers were all in line to get a meal. Wu Ziyang saw Yang Tiexin sitting at a table. After he got a meal, he leaned over and sat opposite Yang Tiexin.

"Eat quickly, let's talk about it after you finish it." Yang Tiexin said.

It is not suitable for conversation in such an environment. The hungry Wu Ziyang quickly finished the meal. He knew that even if he was hungry, he could not eat too much, so he put the bowl in the position of collecting the bowl. Although Yang Tiexin ate early, he finished it later than Wu Ziyang. The two returned to the office. At this time, the stove in the office had been replaced with new media and opened the damper. The room was also warm.

"How is the battle?" Wu Ziyang asked.

Yang Tiexin sighed: "Last year, our 30,000 people killed about 150,000 Tartars. This year, 30,000 infantry came to the military region. According to the plan, the cavalry continued to sweep along the river. Thirty thousand infantry rushed straight to Helin. I am afraid that there will not be so many Tartars to protect Helin this year."

Wu Ziyang nodded slightly. According to statistics, the Song army has killed three million people so far. Killing 150,000 people is insignificant compared to the Mongolians, but for the Song army, this is a large number.

"Can He Lin be resolved next year?" Wu Ziyang asked.

"I don't know what will happen next year. But if I had marched along the river a few years ago, I have already taken it down with Lin now." Yang Tiexin sighed.

Looking at this old comrade-in-arms, Wu Ziyang said sincerely: "You have worked so hard." Although it should be discussed at this time, what Wu Ziyang thought of was news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was originally just news that Yang Tiexin's wife Bao Xiruo was kidnapped by the Mongolian prince Hao Ren and became Hao Ren's wife. But this was a rumor after all, and he could not take it completely seriously. The latest news finally turned the rumor into reality. Looking at his unmarried comrade-in-arms, Wu Ziyang wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Yang Tiexin didn't know that his old comrade was holding news about him in his heart. The commander of the Yinshan War Zone continued to talk about his work. "In my opinion, if 200,000 more Mongolians can be killed next year, Mongolia will almost be shaken. According to the interrogation of the prisoners we captured, the population on the Mongolian grassland is said to range from 310 million, and I don't know how much it is."

"Yes. As long as you find a way, you will definitely kill them all." Wu Ziyang smiled. Half of this statement was sincere and half of it was an agreement with Yang Tiexin. Wu Ziyang's purpose of this trip was not to supervise the army, but to investigate the situation of the army. Naturally, there is no need to sing a stage drama with Yang Tiexin.

However, Wu Ziyang did not expect that the Mongolians were not wood, and they stood there waiting for the Song Dynasty cavalry to cut them down. At this time, there were more than 100,000 Mongolian tribes that were originally west of the Yinshan Military Region who saw that the situation was not good, immediately ran westward. At this time, it had arrived at the warm Baghdad. On the fifth day of the twelfth month of the Song Dynasty, not to mention that Yinshan was already covered with snow, even Hangzhou, the capital of the Song Dynasty. It was just light raining, and the temperature was around ten degrees. After experiencing the low temperature test of minus thirty degrees below the grassland, ten degrees made these herders feel cool and comfortable.

The Great Khan of the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan was not so comfortable. A large number of Mongolian populations were entering the Arab region. They were all noble Mongols, so naturally they could not be treated worse than those of the True Gods who were slaves. But these people had to eat and drink, and the local taxes were not enough to support nearly five million Mongolians. Fortunately, Egypt where Marshal Boyan was located produced a lot of food and dug up the Egyptian canal. The food on both sides of the Nile could be transported smoothly to Basra. It could also be delivered closer to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

However, Kublai Khan also knew the principle of sitting in vain. Mongolia relied on plundering everywhere to obtain wealth. The Khan of Mongolia rewarded the Mongolian tribes to build a Mongolian society. The main attack direction of the Mongolian army was the states in the northern part of India. The enemy's light cavalry traveled like the wind, and the war elephants were tall and strong, which was difficult to shake. In addition, the huge number of infantry in the Uttar Pradesh, the Mongolian generals knew that the frontal hard bar would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so the Mongolian army fell into a helpless protracted and long-term war.

"Khan, where are these people sent?" the queen asked.

"Where they are sent to it, they are already overcrowded, so let them stay in Baghdad first." Kublai Khan said unhappily. The Middle East looks quite good, the climate is also good, and there is a lot of food, but the Mongolians are not the farming people like Han people. The experience in Dadu told Kublai Khan that even if they were distributed to the Mongolian land, they would not farm. They only know how to grazle and have no interest in farming.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan sighed, "It would be great if they were willing to farm."

The queen looked at Kublai Khan's frowning look and couldn't help but smile, "Since that's the case, why not send them to Egypt. I think Boyan may need manpower."

"No." Kublai Khan refused decisively.

The queen was surprised by Kublai Khan's decisiveness. Faced with the complicated government affairs, Kublai Khan had not expressed his attitude so decisively for a long time.

"Why not?" asked the queen.

"Because..., it just won't work anyway." Kublai Khan did not give a clear answer. Because his true hope was to take the rich Egypt into the direct jurisdiction of the Khan and send officials there to manage it. Instead of appointing the Egyptian general manager like now. If Boyan gave more than 100,000 people, it would be easy for Boyan to have these tens of thousands of tribes. If Boyan, who has hundreds of thousands of Mongolian tribes, would not give up on Egypt, it would be a big trouble.

Seeing Kublai Khan like this, the queen didn't say anything. She had some kinship with the new Mongolian tribe leader, so she helped them live a better life. It would be best if she could have a territory for them. Now that she doesn't have it, she doesn't have to worry about food when she stays in Baghdad.

After attending court on that day, Kublai Khan said to his ministers: "I heard that the True God Church is now worshiping at home, and every time he worships, he will curse the immortal world. Therefore, in the future, the True God Church cannot worship at home and must go to the temple to make it easier for us to supervise."

This is about religion, and those ministers with clear minds know that this is not the case. Mongolia has never been so gentle to those who curse the immortal world. Mongolian scimitars must teach the disrespectful immortal world to be a human being again. Now the True Gods go to the temple to pay money. Many people don’t go to the temple because of this fee. If all True Gods have to go to the temple to worship, the income of this money will be greatly increased.

Someone couldn't help asking, "Khan, what if the True God Cult causes trouble?"

"Is this still necessary to ask?" Kublai Khan replied coldly. After saying that, the Mongolian ministers did not dare to answer.

After a while of silence, someone said, "Khan, if the Mongols are willing to farm, what if we kill all the True God Cult? Can we order some poor herdsmen to cultivate the land?"

The person who spoke was Dalamabala, the second son of Zhenjin. The young man said that it reached Kublai Khan's heart. He looked at his grandson whom he valued very much and said angrily: "If this is good, but I have never heard of such a herder in so many years. What are you going to do to let them farm?"

"I think the farm built by Hao Ren is good." Dala Mabala told his grandfather Kublai.

When Kublai Khan heard the name of Hao Ren, he was shocked. Genghis Khan had many sons, and his sons also had many sons. Now the number of descendants of the Borjijin family is very large. However, the one who can inherit the position of Da Khan must be the queen's biological child, which excludes Hao Ren's inheritance rights. Although his grandfather was also Tore, he was born different from other Tore grandsons.

But this Hao Ren made a fortune by himself, and even the orthodox descendants of Tore had to rely on his power many times. Kublai Khan felt an indescribable uneasiness. After thinking about it, Kublai Khan said, "Let Hao Ren come to Baghdad, and I will ask him personally."

The news that the Khan summoned him reached Kiev on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the Song Dynasty. At this time, Hao Ren was visiting the new port under construction in the Black Sea port Odessa City. Many iron guys were built on the port. These iron guys used pulleys and gear sets to form a hoisting dock. Seeing that one person could push the winch to slowly lift a thousand pounds of things, Hao Ren felt very eye-opening and happy.

In addition to these, Hao Ren was even happier that the wired telegraph was built and the money shop began to operate. The Song Dynasty built a money shop system from Odessa to Constantinople by transportation. With the bills, you can buy goods from two places and conduct transactions. There is no need to really move money away. In China, Hao Ren could carry out communications through the wired telegraph network. The news came day and night, which made Hao Ren, who had seen wired telegraph in the Song Dynasty, happy.

The cable network soon played a role, sending the news to Hao Ren in Odessa at the Telegraph Office in Kiev. Seeing Kublai Khan's order to ask Hao Ren to go to Baghdad, Hao Ren felt strong uneasy.

Dahan is 76 years old this year, and no one knows how long Dahan can live. Hao Ren firmly believes that at this age, Kublai Khan will definitely want to make long-term arrangements for his descendants. Hao Ren is a descendant of the Borjikin family, and compared with Kublai Khan's personal descendants, Hao Ren seems not so close. Therefore, Hao Ren would rather cry before going to Baghdadling after Dahan's death, and would not want to run to Kublai Khan at this time.
