Storm Five
Storm (Goto)
The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion's reaction to the arrival of the generals of the Tanma Red Army was a little calmer than everyone expected. There were no humiliating ceremonies of the kind that were traditionally used in various countries, nor were there huge rewards prepared to attract more people to the pre-uprising. The Dadu Governor's Mansion only sent an official to tell Yuan, Li and others in a very calm tone that the imperial court had agreed to the proposal of the Dadu Governor's Office, and offset their crime of killing people and slaughtering the city with the merits of the uprising of the soldiers of the Ma Chi Army, and then gave Yuan, Li and others ten silver dollars each, asking them to temporarily wander around Fuzhou City, and then arrange a meeting with the Dadu Governor three days later.
Where did Yuan Jizu and Li Liang still have the heart to hang out, grabbing strange silver coins that they had never seen in their lives, and waiting anxiously in the pavilion. However, the young generals Li Xianjie, Li He, Yuan Chengen and others were broad-hearted, and they ganged up to look around the city every day to see novelties. What colorful starlings in the South Seas, velvet blankets in the West, incense from the Arabs, and ornaments from the Tianzhu people, there are a lot of them when you buy them.
The dazzling array of goods aroused the curiosity of the two main generals of the Tanma Red Army, who counted the bells every day, looking forward to the moment of meeting their legendary opponents.
Three days later, in the morning, Yuan Jizu and Li Liang and others finally met the hero who defeated him, and at first glance, Wen Tianxiang gave people a very ordinary impression. It's just a gentle reader. There is no image of a suave wise man with a lupine scarf, nor does it have the majesty of the world. There is a bit of bookishness in his demeanor, but his words and deeds make people feel the honesty of this person.
A person with a very honest smile, but a very sharp eye. Yuan Jizu commented in his heart. Wen Tianxiang is not like everyone he has seen, Kublai Khan, Boyan, and Da Chun, this person does not have such a strong bloody aura, and he will not deliberately create coercion in front of others. But this person is not a good old man who can be deceived, behind those eyes seems to have seen all the vicissitudes of the world, not like he is in his forties, but as if he has lived in the world for hundreds of years, he can sweep it casually, as if he can see what people are thinking in their hearts, so that people dare not play tricks in front of him.
In the face of such a pair of eyes, Yuan and Li couldn't say a lot of the words they had prepared in advance. The other generals of the Tanma Red Army also felt a little nervous, and the atmosphere between the guests and the host was a little awkward for a while.
"I've wanted to meet with the generals for a long time, but there are so many things going on these days that I can't spare time in the morning. It was too rude to arrange it in the middle or evening, so I asked everyone to wait until now. How are you playing in Fuzhou City, and the silver dollars in your hands are enough to spend? Wen Tianxiang asked the guards to serve everyone green tea from Fujian and fried by the new method, and asked with a smile.
The wisps of tea fragrance made people feel relaxed for a while, and without waiting for everyone to speak, Yuan Chengen, the son of Yuan Jizu, replied first: "I'm afraid this is the most prosperous place in the world, and the capital city is a big pigsty compared to here." It's just that things are a little more expensive, and the ten silver dollars given by the prime minister are almost all spent! ”
His deliberate gesture made everyone laugh, and the slightly tense atmosphere immediately became lively. Several generals of the Tanma Red Army who came with him also smiled and echoed: "Yes, yes, it's really prosperous." If we had known this, we would have revolted a long time ago. Even being a small blacksmith in the city is better than going to the north to be a general! ”
"Not really, when the general is swordsman, he is majestic. If you become a blacksmith, you have to work hard under your own hands to eat and live! Wen Tianxiang was also amused by Yuan Chengen, and tried his best to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand vernacular.
The Breaker Army is currently strong and strong, but officers familiar with cavalry tactics are still relatively scarce. Some of the young generals who rebelled with Yuan and Li had many years of experience in commanding cavalry operations, and if they could be included in the system of the broken army, they would just be able to make up for the shortcomings of the army's command system.
"As a general, Kublai Khan did not pay him. It's all up to where you fight, but we are indeed not the opponent of the Broken Army. It's better to be a blacksmith, and have a fixed income of three silver dollars a month! Yuan Seung-eun continued to gag. These days, he has been wandering around the streets and alleys, and he can see how ordinary Song people live. Compared to some cities in the north, the people here are all rich. Although the poor still wore cloth clothes and stepped on shoes. But that calm and satisfied smiling face is not seen in any city in the north.
The Broken Army is not only victorious in military affairs, this is the conclusion reached by all the generals of the Tanma Red Army. But if you integrate into the Great Song Dynasty, how to get a better background for yourself, everyone has their own little abacus.
"Don't you want to be a general?" Wen Tianxiang liked this tall and slightly scheming young man very much, and asked tentatively.
"If I can stand under the banner of the Broken Army and become a general, of course I can't ask for it. If I go against the Broken Army, I won't do any good! Yuan Chengen's answer was very frank and cunning, "Of course, if I can enter the command academy under your rule for two years, I am willing to be a pawn of adults!" ”
"If you want to go to the Shaowu Command Academy, I can arrange for you to go to a crash course. The tactics and weapons of the Broken Army are different from those of the Tanma Red Army, and the requirements for generals are also different! Wen Tianxiang nodded and agreed to Yuan Chengen's request very happily. His eyes turned away from the young man, looked at Yuan Jizu and Li Liang, and asked with a smile: "What about the two generals, what are your plans for the future?" ”
Seeing that the way out for their descendants was secured, Yuan and Li's hanging hearts also let go, looked at each other, and replied in unison: "I wait for the only wish of the prime minister!" ”
"You need to make your own decisions. Since you have revolted, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, you are a member of the people, and all rights are protected by the law, even the gods in heaven have no right to arrange everything for you! Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, with a little encouragement in his expression.
"Rights?" This word and Li are very unfamiliar. In the Great Yuan Dynasty, the military generals were the hounds that Kublai Khan had to eat, use, and the soldiers under his command, as well as his wives and children, all belonged to the Great Khan. Whatever the Great Khan asks you to do, you will do. Even if you are reluctant to obey orders, you can only pray to the Great Khan, and you must not make your own decisions. When I came to the Great Song Dynasty, I suddenly changed my rules, and I couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.
Through the expressions on his faces, Wen Tianxiang knew that Yuan, Li and other generals could not adapt to the identity of free men for a while. In fact, not only a few of them, but the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, when they first came into contact with the government of equality, who could get used to this kind of policy of controlling their own destiny. It's just that with the passage of time, the Song people have become accustomed to not bowing their knees to anyone, and no longer being submissive in front of the strong. And the thinking of the new Tanma Red Army generals is still stuck in the framework of the emperor is the biggest, and everyone else is a slave.
Those who have never experienced freedom do not know the value of freedom. Wen Tianxiang knew where the crux of the problem was, took a booklet and handed it to Yuan and Li. "This is the arrangement of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for the two of you and your subordinates, and they are now offending with each other, so they are all Chinese people. Those who are willing to stay in the Great Song Dynasty will be treated the same as the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Those who wish to work in agriculture are given arable land, and the government lends seeds for the first year's grain. If you want to stay in the city, you can go to the factory as an apprentice and negotiate with the boss for your salary. Those who are willing to stay in the army need to participate in physical strength, weapons, riding and other tests, which are suitable for the broken army and the garrison. The "Provisional Covenant Law" stipulates that 'those who are willing to be the people of China, the government will treat them as the people of China.' So don't worry about their future! ”
"Prime Minister Xie!" Yuan and Li fell over and wanted to worship, but Wen Tianxiang stretched out his hand to support them. The two of them took a few steps back gratefully, followed the Song people's greetings, and slammed them to the ground.
"Even if we are crushed, it will be difficult to repay the prime minister's great kindness!" The generals of the Red Army saluted together. Some people were still thinking of returning to the Tanma Red Army and relying on their brothers to make a fortune in troubled times. Seeing that Tianxiang was understatement, a few words dispersed everyone's military power. With a chill in his heart, he took the initiative to give up the obsession that he shouldn't have.
Before Yuan and Li came to Fuzhou, they also had the idea of keeping their own family and horses and watching the changes in the situation. Along the way, I saw the tremendous changes in Fujian, compared the state of the officials, military system and people in the north and south, and knew that the vitality of the north was declining. So at this moment, when I learned that I had no soldiers in my hands, I felt so relaxed in my heart.
"The two generals have led the cavalry for many years, and if I have the intention of staying in the army, I would like to hire the two generals to go to the Shaowu Military Academy or the Shaowu Command Academy as cavalry instructors. What do the two generals think about cultivating usable materials for the Great Song Army? After chatting a few more words about the military, Wen Tianxiang asked tentatively.
Before Yuan and Li arrived in Fuzhou, how to arrange the future of the two, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also felt a little nerve-wracking. As the first batch of senior generals of the Tanma Red Army who revolted, if they were treated too poorly, it would not be enough to serve as a model for other Tanma Red Army and Han Army generals in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. However, it is somewhat unfair to arrange the positions of the two people too high. After all, over the years, the Tanma Red Army has followed the Mongolian army and has done many bad things.
Therefore, Wen Tianxiang intended to let Yuan and Li feel the changes in the Great Song Dynasty on the way. I also expect the two of them to make some mutually satisfactory choices about their future path.
"On the way, I heard Captain Guan say that the Prime Minister also has a school for training magistrates in Shaowu. Li Mou is not talented, I don't know if I can go there to learn some good ways to govern, and I will be able to atone for the sins of the first half of my life in the future! Seeing Wen Tianxiang's honest question, Li Liang finally said his true thoughts. He has done enough of marching and fighting, as he himself summed up, he has burned and looted for half his life, only destroying, not building. If he couldn't lead his people to gallop across the field, he would rather spend the rest of his life as a magistrate, and pay for the sins he committed in the first half of his life by working for the welfare of the people.
This answer was beyond Wen Tianxiang's expectations, he didn't expect that Li Liang's ideal for half his life was to benefit one party, so he smiled and replied: "If General Li really has this intention, he can go to the Great Song Dynasty Government Affairs Academy." It's just that the style of study there is more rigorous, and if the general wants to graduate successfully, I'm afraid he will have to work hard! ”
"Li is willing to be a Mengtong, starting from the three-character scripture!" Li Liang said very sincerely.
"Just as the general wants!" Wen Tianxiang agreed with a smile and slowly turned his gaze to Yuan Jizu.
Yuan Jizu, who had been blessing his friends beside him, met Wen Tianxiang's gaze and asked in a low voice: "If Yuan wants to go back to the foot of Qilian Mountain, gather the clansmen, and follow the example of Prime Minister Baizhangling." Can the prime minister agree, can he help? ”
"Wen is willing to help!" Wen Tianxiang was overjoyed in his heart and promised with a smile.
