Storm (4 upper)

The battle of Jiangnan West Road, which lasted several months, ended with the complete victory of the Broken Army, which invested more than 45,000 troops before and after, and recruited more than 220,000 volunteers and people from all over the country. It was an unprecedented victory to defeat 130,000 Yuan troops in Dachun's headquarters, instigate uprisings and force landings of more than 60,000 Yuan troops in various places, and annihilate nearly 200,000 enemies before and after.

When the news came out, the entire Jiangnan was suddenly enveloped in jubilation. As long as it is for those who pay attention to the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they don't understand military affairs, they know that the Great Song Dynasty has since risen from the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. No matter how bad the war situation was in the future, the court was often driven down to the sea and was not allowed to go ashore for half a year.

Looking at the achievements of the Liangjiang Battlefield and the Liangzhejiang Battlefield together, the hope of the Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing is even more obvious. After the end of the Le'an Annihilation War, there was no Northern Yuan force in the Liangzhejiang range, and in the land of the two rivers, the Northern Yuan Dynasty only left Chizhou, Nankang, Raozhou on the East Road, Jiangzhou, Xingguo, and Longxing on the West Road, of which a small half of Raozhou was controlled by the Broken Army. In the control area of the Great Song Dynasty, from the three roads of Fujian and Guangnan a year ago, it suddenly expanded to the land of two Guangzhou, two Zhejiang, two rivers and seven roads of Fujian. Among them, Fujian, which is an important place for manufacturing, financial endowment and administration, has also completely become "inland" and is no longer threatened by the Northern Yuan army.

"It is estimated that the day of smashing the Yellow Dragon is not far off!" In the tavern seats, some readers who are romantic by nature predict. Although they were dissatisfied with many of the measures taken by the Metropolitan Governor's Office at that time, the method of selecting candidates in parallel with the imperial examination and election also greatly undermined their privileges since the Sui and Tang dynasties. But compared to being the captives of the Northern Yuan, they are still willing to see the Dadu Governor's Mansion win victory after victory.

"It's difficult, it will take two or three years anyway, I heard that the loss of the Brother Breaking Army this time is not small. After all, there are many Tartar soldiers, and we narrowly won with 35,000 against 150,000. I heard that the Tartars were in a hurry, and hundreds of thousands of people lined up to cross the river! Someone banged on the table with a fan, reminding his companions to keep their heads "cool."

The table was covered with a thick tablecloth, and on the round tabletop, a few fresh aquatic products were steaming, seducing everyone's appetite. To the left of the table, there are several beautiful antique porcelain altars, and inside the jars, the amber fruit wine exudes a mellow fragrance.

The round table is an invention handed down by Shao Wu, and it is very popular in Fu and Quanzhou near the sea. Seafood is a treasure on the shore that day, and as for fruit wine, it is brewed from wild fruits that are special products in the mountainous areas of Fujian according to the ancient recipe of the Department of Agriculture of the Academy of Sciences. Coupled with those expensive antique porcelain bottles, this table of banquets will cost at least six or seven taels of silver.

For ordinary people, six or seven taels of silver are enough for three months' expenses. For those who have a monthly supply, this amount of money is really nothing. After three cups and two lamps, the scholars were gradually stimulated by the pride of the alcohol to point out the country, and everyone gossiped, summing up the gains and losses of the Metropolitan Governor's Office in military and government affairs in recent years.

"If you want me to say, Lord Wen should go down to the next article, recruit millions of soldiers, and fight across the Yangtze River as soon as possible. It also saves us from being in the yamen every day, worrying about the battle reports on the front line! Sitting in the master's seat, the scholar wearing a gray scarf drank all the wine in front of him, and the winemaker slammed it to the table and said loudly.

"Brother Wang's words are ridiculous. The so-called soldiers are not many but fine, and only in this way can the elite division be refined. If they are all like the former van army, they will bring a million, but they will also be sheep! Sitting near the window, a green-clothed guest stood up and solemnly spoke for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Brother Zhang's words are reasonable, but a few soldiers are not a good strategy in the end! At present, there are more and more territories controlled by our Metropolitan Governor's Office, and there are few soldiers, so why should we defend it? Another blue-shirted scholar shook his head and commented with some dissatisfaction.

They are all scholars who have been urgently trained by Shaowu Training Institute to serve as civil servants, and they have worked under the framework of the New Deal for a long time and have slowly cultivated their ability to think independently. As for the policies of the Grand Governor, he no longer blindly opposes them by citing scriptures. But it's not like the core of the Ministry of Culture who came down from Baizhang Ridge, blindly following every move of the Grand Governor.

Some people agree with the current policy of streamlining the administration of the Metropolitan Governor's army, believing that the Mongols made plundering their business, and that this group of professional robbers could not be dealt with by elite soldiers. Some people also believe that the Metropolitan Governor's Office should seize the present good opportunity, mobilize all possible forces, take advantage of the situation, and advance the battle line to the Lianghuai and Xiangfan areas as soon as possible, so that the people in Jiangnan can better recuperate.

"Since the soldiers came out of Shaowu, which time did we break the army and not use one as ten!" The other, dressed in a fine brocade robe, used chopsticks to provoke fish eyes while listing the achievements of the Broken Army since its establishment. "Lord Wen went out of Shao Wu for the first time, facing the page of the dense and dense, with 30,000 against 30,000. The second time he besieged and annihilated Suodu, 50,000 against 70,000, and the third time, that is, when he fought Zhang Hongfan, 60,000 defeated 200,000. This is not counting the thousands of people in Kefuzhou, who are alone in Lin'an. If you want me to say, the Breaker Army will only get stronger and stronger......."

Intentionally or unintentionally, he automatically ignored the people's army that had made great sacrifices in previous battles, and also automatically said that the Northern Yuan soldiers and horses were a few percent. Imagining the majestic posture of the captive army swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, the chopsticks flew up and down, and in a moment, the two fish eyes were captured into the stomach as the Mongolian army.

"That's why we should recruit more soldiers. Bring the old with the new, and refine while fighting. The day when the Tartars were expelled from the south of the Yangtze River was also the opportunity of our army's Northern Expedition! Someone said proudly.

"Conscription, how can it be so easy, do you think that the Broken Army is the original box soldier, and it can be a person!" The green-robed scholar disagreed with his partner's statement, and was even more dissatisfied with the brocade-robed scholar swallowing two fish eyes alone, gently turned the tray of the round table, and retorted loudly, "If you want to eat the food of the captive army, you have to have that skill." Seeing that the people in the garrison were gone, he broke his head and wanted to drill into the broken army. People pick and choose, and nine out of ten come back! ”

"It's true, if it weren't for the high threshold of the Broken Army, my generation would also have the meaning of hanging a Wu hook on his waist. I don't want to leave my name on the Lingyan Pavilion, but I want to be like General Fubo, and I don't want to give birth to this seven-foot body in vain! The gray scarf tapped the table and sighed. When the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion placed the famous personnel, he originally chose the Shao Wu Command Academy. As a result, because of poor physique, he was blocked back, and he has always taken this as a shock in his life, and when he talked about using soldiers today, he was hooked by a few glasses of wine, and his demeanor was already a little drunk.

"Brother Wang, why did he sigh, now that I am waiting under Master Du's door, isn't everyone envious. Front-line ordnance, grain and grass, which time did not pass through our hands. With this hard work, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good background in the future! Someone whispered comfort from the sidelines. For the regret of the gray scarf, they have a lot of relatives. Now is not more than ten years ago, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the army has won fewer victories and more defeats. Therefore, people from the military are not duly respected in the eyes of the people, and in order to prevent the generals from repeating the scene of the yellow robe, the imperial court also emphasizes literature and light military force. Now it is the Metropolitan Governor's Office that holds the authority, and among all the merits, only the military merit is the highest. Those who hold military positions are not only promoted quickly in their positions, but also receive more money, and are also very popular with the people. If you have a few medals in your hand that you won for participating in the Great Battle, you can enter the restaurants on the streets of Quanzhou at will, and you will be guaranteed to have someone pay for you.

"Of course, Lord Wen is like a god with soldiers, and the emperor is blessed with all the heavens. Let's here, maybe there will be a few Zhongxing celebrities, and if you can't be Huo Hussar, it's good to be a Zhongxing celebrity! "Some people are smiling and looking forward to the future.

"Well, in the past few years, we haven't lost a battle. The arrogance of the Tartar was beaten by us day by day, and those guys who followed him also found their own way out, I heard people say......" Another scholar came over, mysteriously lowered his head on the table, but said in a voice that the whole teahouse could hear: "The one, who ran to Chizhou, was deliberately released by the Broken Army." said that next time, I would stab Beiyuan in the back. If the Tartar doesn't come, it's enough, if you dare to come again, it's the same as Dachun, and the bones can't go back! ”

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized, shook their heads and sighed: "No wonder the surname Lu can run away, it turns out that this is the case." He should be like this, otherwise, General Zou and General Chen, no matter what, they can't spare him! ”

"Yes, he's the kind of person who is the best at judging the situation. If I were him, I would have revolted a long time ago. What does the newspaper say, civilization, yes, civilization will triumph over barbarism! ”

Everyone was talking and looking forward to it, and they felt that the future was bright. For more than five years, from the time the army broke out of Baizhangling to the present, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has brought shock, shock, and even injury to people, but unconsciously, it has been in the collision, allowing a nation to slowly recover its vitality.

Five years ago, scholars who had made a name for themselves would never have paid so much attention to military affairs, and they would not have come up with the classic summary that civilization will triumph over barbarism. But now, the rhetoric of destiny and luck and the reincarnation of the five virtues has become more and more distant from everyone. Facing the Mongolian iron horse, everyone is no longer just panic and fear. Rather, through the summary and accumulation of real life, the identity and pride of a nation are restored.

From the state of life to the way people think, the changes brought about by the Metropolitan Governor's Office are huge, and those who are in it do not feel the earth-shaking difference in between. And for those who have been away from Fujian for many years and are fortunate to come back, the feeling in their hearts can no longer be described as shock.

Li Liang, Yuan Jizu and others feel like this now, since they beat Ting Zhou, their mouths have never been closed. Fujian has changed so much that it has not been seen for a few years, and many places are very different from before. Not only have the places in Jianpu and Fuzhou, which were captured by the Broken Army for three or four years, changed dramatically, but even the places in Tingzhou, which had been ravaged by Li Liang, Yuan Jizu and others a year and a half ago, were rapidly recovering their vitality.

After passing through Tingzhou, there are almost no barren places to see along the way. Villages of all sizes are full of laughter and laughter, and on the hillside near the village, the fragrance of fruit trees wafts out. On the flat bank of the river, all you can see are endless rice fields. According to Li Liang's memory, the rice harvest season has passed now, but there are still dense rice stalks growing upwards in those paddy fields. Yuan and Li couldn't help but be curious, and asked Guan Ruofei, the commander of the Broken Army, who was responsible for leading the way for everyone, and learned that the field was Champa rice planted by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, which could be reproduced twice a year, and the yield per season was one and a half times the original.

"Triple the harvest of grain, then didn't your family send it!" Hearing Guan Ruofei's slightly ostentatious introduction, Yuan Jizu exclaimed. Kublai Khan did not pay the Tanma Red Army, but high-ranking generals such as Yuan Jizu and Li Liang had designated fiefs, and all the agricultural taxes on the fiefs every year belonged to them and not to the imperial court. If the harvest in the fiefdom is tripled, the agricultural endowment will inevitably increase threefold. Therefore, in the eyes of the two, Wen Tianxiang, the owner of this land, must have long been rich and rivaled the country. It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Broken Army all wear chain mail.

"Most of the governor's mansions do not collect agricultural taxes, and they collect grain from the people, and they all buy it with silver dollars!" Guan Ruofei shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Yuan, Li and their subordinates with the same eyes as looking at two dirt buns, and said. He was the head of the 1st Division and a backbone of the Espionage Division. After Yuan Jizu and Li Liang rebelled, they couldn't make up their minds about what to do in the future, so Zou Wei ordered Guan Ruofei to take a group of people and horses to escort the generals of the Ma Chijun army to Quanzhou to meet Wen Tianxiang, and the Dadu Governor's Office arranged for the Ma Chijun to stay and go.

Guan Ruofei understood Zou Wei's intentions, so he walked very slowly, and deliberately let Yuan, Li and others see the difference between the rule of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the rule of the Northern Yuan on the way. This trick really worked, and the road was only halfway through, and there were already low-level generals of the Red Army who privately asked if they could join the Broken Army.

"If you don't collect agricultural taxes, where will the money come from? Brother, you're not joking, are you? Li Liang's brother Li He showed a look of disbelief. From the founding of the Great Xia to the going to sea in the remnant Song Dynasty, he has not heard of any dynasty or generation that does not collect agricultural endowments.

"Five years ago, when the Prime Minister said this, we didn't believe it. But the prime minister said it well, if you collect the people's agricultural endowment, the government will get one, and the officials and officials will receive ten. The money collected is not enough to feed the corrupt officials, so it is better not to collect it, so that the corrupt officials will not be able to stretch out their hands. Besides, Fujian has many mountains and little land, and it can't receive much agricultural endowment. Not collecting agricultural taxes just encourages the people to farm, which is in line with the way of the sage who values agriculture! Guan Ruofei pointed to the surrounding green farmland, and said with a bit of exaggeration: "Now the Broken Army does not need to raise farmland at all, and the state capitals have workshops, workshops, salt pans, shops, plus customs and fleets. ”

In fact, the Metropolitan Governor's Office has reduced taxes for peasant households, while others have exempted them, depending on the local situation. Guan Ruofei is not very clear about the specific financial operation method. But fooling Li Liang, Yuan Jizu and other laymen is an easy matter. He talked about the ratio of agricultural endowments to officials, and talked about the various preferential policies of the Metropolitan Governor's Office for the people who hold land defense certificates. Compared with the checkpoints of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there are many checkpoints, and the tax is like a cow's hair, talking about the one-tax system and customs clearance system in Fujian, Liangguang and other places. From the corruption of the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the rule of the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, in short, it is one thing, the Northern Yuan has the reason to lose, and there is no possibility of victory.
