Tianxia Five

The World (5)

In June of the third year of Xiangxing (to the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty), Zhang Hongfan, the marshal of the Yuan and Han armies, died violently, at the age of forty. Kublai Khan was very compassionate, stopped the army in Quang Ninh, and boycotted the dynasty for five days. After the persuasion of the left minister Hu Tutmur, the imperial historian Ye Li, Zhongcheng Sange and other important ministers, Fang issued the account and ordered Zhang Hongfan to be buried on the bank of the Liao River with the gifts of the princes, and eleven people including Yang Keqin and Li Youde, the military medical officers, were martyred.

This is the third non-Mongolian marshal lost by the Great Yuan Dynasty in the past year, and it is linked to the deaths of Liu Shen and Li Heng, and people can't help but think about it. Regarding Zhang Hongfan's death, many different versions of the story soon circulated in the world. In addition to the official theory of illness and death in the Great Yuan Dynasty, the most widespread and influential theory is poisoning.

According to rumors, Kublai Khan gave Zhang Hongfan a golden sword when he went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and personally promised him unchanging support no matter what difficulties he encountered. As a result, during the confrontation between Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang, because of his old and soft ears, Kublai Khan listened to slander, destroyed his promise, and transferred Zhang Hongfan back from the southern battlefield by means of rising and descending secretly.

After Zhang Hongfan returned to the north, because of the lack of ability of the Mongolian general Dachun, who succeeded him in commanding the army, the Great Yuan lost the city and lost the army. Kublai Khan felt ashamed and felt sorry for Zhang Hongfan, so in order to cover up his shame, he ordered someone to poison Zhang Hongfan's medicine and poison this peerless famous general who made great achievements for Dayuan in the army.

The lethality of rumors is very great, and a few Confucian scholars who work hard for the Yuan Court secretly pay attention to changing the court in their hearts. Even some Han military princes also had their own thoughts. The grain, grass, and equipment delivered to Kublai Khan's army began to appear intentionally or unintentionally short of two catties, and the difference was good. The pace of the army's advance is also getting slower and slower, sometimes encountering a small number of enemy troops, and there are also situations where the generals of various ethnic groups pass the buck to each other and passively avoid the battle.

Kublai Khan was furious and beheaded seven Mongolian and Han generals from more than 1,000 households. At the same time, Zhang Hongfan was posthumously crowned as the king of Huaiyang, the general of Zhennan, and his descendants were hereditary. Posthumously presented his brother Zhang Hongzheng as the general of Pingnan, hereditary. And 500 people among the soldiers were allocated to guard Zhang Hongfan's spirit for three years, in order to demonstrate the merits of his father and son to Dayuan.

Under the combination of grace and power, the morale of the army was boosted, and the speed of advance was also accelerated a lot. But there was a shadow that hung like a dark cloud in the hearts of Kublai Khan's ministers.

That is the evaluation of Zhang Hongfan by the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office.

The newspaper from the south spent two full pages and more than 3,000 words evaluating Zhang Hongfan's merits and demerits. From the opponent's point of view, Wen Tianxiang, the commander of the Broken Army, believes that Zhang Hongfan is an outstanding military genius, and his ability to plan and change positions in battle is several times higher than his own. If it weren't for the Northern Yuan Dynasty court interfering with its operational deployment at a critical time, perhaps the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would face a catastrophe.

In addition, Wen Tianxiang also expressed his appreciation for Zhang Hongfan's practice of reducing and reducing taxes for the people due to disasters when he governed the local government a few years ago, and believed that this kind of practice of risking being blamed by the Tartar head and thinking about the people was enough to make Zhang Hongfan famous in history.

Wen Tianxiang also said in the article that it is impossible to choose where a person is born and who his parents are. But what he does as an adult can be determined by himself. When Zhang Hongfan was governing the locality, he knew how to treat the people under his rule well, and his behavior was commendable. However, as a Han Chinese, he still attacked his own tribe for the Mongols even though he knew that the Northern Yuan Dynasty regarded all the Han people in the world as slaves, which was an unforgivable crime. In particular, the atrocities committed by him and Da Chun in killing people and slaughtering cities in Fujian are simply beastly behaviors, and even death cannot atone for their crimes. Now that Zhang Hongfan is dead in no apparent terms, those Han generals who are still serving Kublai Khan should open their eyes and see what the Mongol army has brought to the world over the years. Look at the atrocities of exterminating the tribe and slaughtering the city, and look at the human catastrophe caused by the Mongols who deliberately spread the plague. Then pat your chest and think about whether you are a Mongol or a Han. Think about how long you can maintain your wealth, think about your children and grandchildren, whether they can be regarded as a fellow tribe by the Mongols, or whether they have to be a third-class or fourth-class slave.

Wen Tianxiang concluded at the end of the article that the war between the Mongols and the Song Dynasty could not be equated with a change of dynasty. Because he caused unprecedented calamity in the land of China and reduced the entire Han nation to slavery.

At any time, slaves and slave owners did not belong to the same country.

Kublai Khan hated it to death, and he especially hated Wen Tianxiang's assertion at the end of the article that "slaves and slave owners do not belong to the same country." But the Confucians under his command couldn't find the right words to refute this sentence.

Confucianism emphasizes order, but Confucius's words and deeds also emphasize the personality and dignity necessary for a person. In Mencius, he raised his independent personality to a height comparable to that of the Great Dao. No matter how much Ren Yeli and others write and quibble, they can't erase the reality that the area currently controlled by Dayuan is born into four classes.

"The Great Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are the destiny of heaven, and they cannot be stopped by manpower!" In a hurry, Ye Li, Liu Mengyan and others shook their pens and blamed everything on destiny and luck. However, in the name of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the proclamation issued to the world and advised everyone not to do the act of blocking the car with a mantis arm provoked a greater backlash.

"If God is so short-sighted, it is better to let him collapse!" In the excerpts that circulated in the Liangzhejiang and Jianghuai areas, the head was cut off, and Xingtian, who still wielded a giant axe, shouted and refused to fall.

"It's useless, it's fate, no matter how hard you try, it's in vain!" In Hangzhou City, on the central stage of a gorgeously decorated large painting boat, the living man has long donkey ears and a clown with a white nose running up from the corner of the stage, on all fours, pretending to persuade with good intentions.

"You didn't try, how do you know!" The actor playing Xingtian raises his leg and kicks the clown's ass.

The clown makes a donkey cry and wagged his tail behind his ass.

"The head can be broken, but the knee is not bent. Bones can be broken, but hearts are like iron. Xingtian tore off his shirt, a pair of round tiger eyes appeared on his chest, and he sang loudly to the sky: "There is still a pair of eyes on the chest, looking at the world flowing for thousands of years, and the blood of heroes that has flowed for thousands of years."

"Good!" The audience resounded with cheers from the south and the north, and a few rich people sitting in the front row threw the whole stack of Zhongtong treasure money into the iron plate in front of the stage.

In the box on the second floor of the painting boat, a few high-ranking high-rollers wearing silk robes but with slightly evil faces took out a handful of Song Qian with patterns on both sides and stuffed it into "Coincidentally!" "In the hands of the cousin who came to add tea.

"A few masters, it's too polite. The men, women and children of the small acting troupe, thank you for the reward! With his hand, he knew that he was buying a full color Wu Mu coin, and respectfully thanked him.

Wu Mu coin is a common name for the metal currency recently issued by the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office, this new wave currency was spread from the south with the footsteps of merchants, and was divided into three categories: gold, silver and copper. Each gold coin weighs more than one or two of the people, and there is no hole in the middle, according to the new stamp in Fujian, it is 40 grams. The silver coin is half a tael with a hole in the middle, and it is twenty grams according to Fujian standards. Copper coins are large and small, with a round hole in the middle for threading, and the large coins weigh 40 grams as well as the gold coins, and the small coins weigh 4 grams.

The exchange ratio of the four currencies is 10 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is 500 small coins or 50 large coins.

Neither gold, silver, nor bronze coins are of sufficient color. But this kind of money is rare is wear-resistant, and it is made evenly, and the weight of two hard pens of the same face value is exactly the same. It is rumored in the market that a well-off and well-behaved person once tried to use a file to frustrate the embossed statue of Wu Mu on the reverse side of the copper coin and the words "return my rivers and mountains" with a concave edge, but it took an afternoon of work to no avail, and instead took an iron file.

Whether the coin is really as strong as the legend goes, the cousin in charge of serving tea and pouring water and collecting tips does not know. But he knew what it was worth now. Because there is no exchange standard between this kind of coin in Fujian and the North Yuan Bao banknote and the original Da Song Xiaoqian. Therefore, since the emergence of this kind of money, merchants can privately accept Wumu coins, and absolutely do not accept large ingots. It makes the Dayuan Zhongtong treasure banknote even more marketable. After dark, some people even exchanged the treasure banknotes for three Wumu silver coins.

A few high-rollers in the private room today shot more than a dozen silver coins, which is a price that the troupe can only earn in half a month in ordinary times. The cousin was grateful in his heart, and his words increased, and while carefully collecting the bounty, he asked cleverly: "How many masters, which fold do you want to hear next?" The "Iron Bone Dan Heart" just now is Mr. Guan Hanqing's latest masterpiece, and the troupe on our painting boat will also have "Single Knife Meeting", "Yi Shui Han", "Mid-stream Hit Series", etc., all of which are more catchy recently! ”

"Brother Fang, which fold do you like to hear, just point. Several of our brothers are locals, so we've heard about it a long time ago! Leaning down, a guest with a faint scar on his chin and relatively fair skin in the crowd whispered.

"It's easy to be cold, it's hot, just use this scene to cool off!" Sitting in the seat of the first guest, a bronzed-faced man in his forties replied cheerfully. This person has a faint sense of killing and punishment, and at a glance, he knows that he is the master who has walked through the rivers and lakes.

"Okay, just "Yi Shui Han", little second brother, you go and say hello, these boxes don't need to be served!" Sitting next to the bronze-faced man was Humpty Dumpty, who spoke in a buzzing voice, but behaved a little more cautiously than everyone else. Looking around, he saw that everyone had no objection to the bronze-faced man's words, and commanded loudly.

Guarding the door, several people dressed as bodyguards quickly walked out, pretending to be chatting, and firmly held the two aisles near the box.

When the little second brother saw this kind of battle, he knew that the person who came was not a good person. Quickly agreed and ran down. After a while, the orchestra on the stage all turned into tunes, the closed curtain opened again, and a few young people in white clothes and white hats slowly walked to the front stage.

“… He has millions of soldiers, I have a dagger, two good friends, and I want the Lu family child to know, and the Lu family child to know, and the Lu family child to know, real men can be killed and not humiliated......"

Qing Yue's male voice came from outside the box one after another, burrowing into the ears of several high-rollers.

"How can I say that a few people have decided no? Brother Zhang, Brother Bai, should we go in person, or do we send our cronies! The man with the scar on his chin got up, covered the door himself, and shut out the box for the action and music on stage.

"Our Zhang family has nothing to say, anyway, the financial resources of the Haisha Gang are in Fujian, and I have received so many favors from others, sooner or later, I, who is in charge, will have to meet Boss Wen." Sitting in the innermost corner of the box, there was a middle-aged man with very elegant manners, who replied in a standard Jianghu tone.

"Brother He, what do you say?" The man with the scar on his chin continued to ask Humpty Dumpty.

"I, I'm with everyone, everyone said that they were going to go with the Fang family's boat, and I went to the prime minister who I had never met. And if you guys ......? Humpty Dumpty replied heavily.

"Your town Changshan is also a big man, but you talk like a little girl. If you want me to say Langli Leopard, let's go together, support a scene for Brother Zhang Tang, and meet those Song Guan'er who ran to the sea in a fight! Without waiting for the person with the scar on his chin to ask, a well-proportioned man on the left accused Humpty Dumpty unconvinced.

"I, didn't I think about everyone too? Who knows what kind of meeting the Great Song Dynasty officials held at this moment and what kind of idea they were fighting. Back then, the Mongols didn't retreat, but he just surrendered our weapons. If you don't believe it, you ask the Harriers if there is such a thing! Humpty Dumpty blushed and argued.

He was the leader of the people's army active in Yan and Qu Prefectures, and rose quickly because of his nest's proximity to Fujian. It is claimed that there are 100,000 people under his command, and after deducting the old and weak women and children, there are actually no less than 10,000 people who can fight. After the captivity army returned to the south, the Yuan soldiers were beaten back by him several times.

The man who was dissatisfied with him was called Langli Leopard, who had the same nickname as Fang Kui, the third head of the pirate Fang family, who sat at the top, and his skills were on par. When Zhang Tang, Du Hu and others, the generals of the Broken Army, fought a bloody battle between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, they joined hands with Langli Leopard, Drill Mountain Harrier and Guojianglong to kill the enemy, and formed a friendship. Guo Jianglong was shot in the chin by Fan Wenhu's generals, and Du Hu personally saved his life.

"I think, everyone should think again, don't worry. I thought about what I really wanted and what I could give to the Broken Army. This thing is like buying and selling, both sides have what the other wants, and there is room for bargaining. Besides, this Quanzhou Heroes Conference is not only the Prime Minister's Mansion, we may have to face the entire imperial court, and there is also the emperor's ......." Seeing that Zhen Changshan pushed himself to the forefront, the harrier stood up, arched his hands in all directions, and said.

"Brother Nie, when you took the sword, gun and armor from other people's hands, you didn't say that!" When the leopard saw the harrier talking like this, he shouted angrily.

"So, isn't that one time and another? Besides, I have heard that Prime Minister Wen has been ostracized recently, and he has implemented a new policy, and the people in the imperial court have done everything possible to make him stumbling. Once the two sides fight, who do you say we will help? The harrier wiped the sweat from his head and argued eloquently.

Wen Tianxiang summoned the world's anti-Yuan heroes to go to Quanzhou to discuss the state after the news spread. The civil armed forces active in the area of Liangzhejiang responded one after another, and everyone discussed for a long time, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, they elected the most powerful Langli Leopard, Guojiang Long, Drill Mountain Harrier and Zhenchangshan as representatives. Several people were trusted by everyone and were very proud, and they promised to bring their admiration for Wen Tianxiang to Fujian for everyone. But before leaving, some people retreated.

Zhenchangshan and Drillingyama Harrier are the oldest, so they are more vigilant than others. In particular, He Shuming, the town of Changshan, controls a territory close to the two states, and is an out-and-out emperor of the soil. If the Broken Army and the Northern Yuan Dynasty continue to fight endlessly, he can always be an uncrowned king in southeast Zhejiang who controls the power of life and death. And thinking that he went to Fujian, no matter what the agreement was, it would inevitably be necessary to obey the orders of the Prime Minister's Office in the future, so he faintly dialed a small abacus in his heart.

It just so happened that the Haisha Gang, whose main business was smuggling sea salt, claimed Cuifeng, and Fang Kui, the third leader of the Fang family, the first sea merchant and pirate on the southeast coast, passed through Hangzhou. As soon as several groups of people got in touch, they had the courage to hold a hero meeting under Fan Wenhu's nose, and discussed together how to go to Quanzhou, what to talk about, and how to talk about it.

Nie Yunpeng, the harrier who drilled the mountain, thought that the leaders of several families should not go in person. lest the court suddenly have bad intentions and arrest everyone as hostages. In this way, the next time the Broken Army marches north, the two Zhejiang heroes can only obey the orders of the Broken Army, and lose the independence of the original cooperative relationship.

This point of view made Langli Leopard very unhappy, and he believed that the soldiers and horses in the hands of several heroes were not a target opponent of the Broken Army. If people want to annex everyone, they have already annexed it last time, so why bother in the name of this meeting. Besides, there is no loss in joining the Broken Army, and the example of Chen Hangyan is in front of him. Taking advantage of the fact that the strength of the Broken Army did not reach the level of being able to go on a separate Northern Expedition, everyone joined in, and they could also be mixed with a deputy commander or regiment commander. If the strength of the Broken Army is already strong enough to go on the Northern Expedition, everyone will be cheeky and sticky to it, and people may not be able to look at it.

The attitude of the Haisha Gang is the funniest. In all dynasties, salt was monopolized by the government. Therefore, salt smugglers like the Haisha Gang will always be allies of the "rebel" side. No matter who the partner is, once they are upgraded from "rebels" to "Zhengshuo", the Haisha Gang immediately moves from friends to hostile positions. This is a matter determined by the huge profits of table salt, and it is not transferred by the surname and character of the partner. Therefore, on the one hand, Zhang Cuifeng was unwilling to break the cooperative relationship with the Broken Army, and on the other hand, he also expected that the Broken Army would never become a big climate, and he could only protect himself in the confrontation with the Northern Yuan, and would never be able to take the initiative.

The atmosphere in the box was a little cold for a while, and intermittently there were singing words that came from outside when no one spoke. According to the melody, at this moment, it should be the joke when Jing Ke entered Xianyang and chased and killed Yingzheng on the Golden Palace.

I only heard that Yingzheng gasped and asked hatefully: "Do you know that someone else sitting in this position will be more merciful than this king." You want the king to return the land of the princes, but you know that the land of the princes was also robbed, and it was not so big when Zhou Tianzi was sealed. If this king does not annex them, they will annex each other! ”

"If I kill you, people in this position will always think that there is such a dagger in the world. And the man with the dagger stares at what he is doing with wide eyes! Jing Ke shouted while chasing.

The leopard in the waves was depressed, and gently opened the door a small gap. Along the crack in the door, he saw that several people dressed as civil officials rushed onto the stage and were kicked over by Jing Ke one by one.

The clown who played Xia Wuhe threw a medicine bag, Jing Ke waved the dagger to go to the grid, the medicine bag was scattered, and the medicine powder fascinated Jing Ke's eyes.

"Despicable!" Under the stands, the audience shouted angrily.

"What meanness, to each for his own benefit!" The clown Xia Wu argued with a hippie smile.

Samurai and civil officials flocked to it, and smashed it with wooden duke, golden gourd, etc.

Jing Ke couldn't see, fell to the ground, and was smashed into meat sauce by everyone.......
