Broken wrist (3)

Autumn in the north has always come earlier than in the south of the Yangtze River......

A few yellow leaves fly down from the green blue sky, which already tells you that the most leisurely season of the year is coming. The market slowly became lively, and the farmers, who had been busy for most of the year, the scholars who had returned from poetry and painting, and the vendors pushing wheelbarrows, rushed to the crowded places in twos and threes. Although under the "rain and dew grace" of the Great Yuan Dynasty, everyone's life is not as good as day by day, although the spare money in the pocket is getting less and less day by day, and the taxes on the head are getting heavier day by day, but it is human nature to love to be lively. In the bazaar, you can not only see new gadgets produced in the south, meet friends and acquaintances who dare not interact too much under the strict orders of the imperial court, but also hear news from all over the world.

Although some of the news is unsubstantiated, it is the hope of everyone struggling to survive in this troubled world. Although, this hope is so slim.

The most attractive thing on the streets of the capital is usually the teahouses where storytellers stay. In these years, you don't need to know how to read and write, and you don't need to benefit the local community. A large number of scholars have lost their livelihood, and in order to make a living, they have shifted their energy to writing reviews and essays. Although doing these last-minute jobs can't be exchanged for becoming famous in one fell swoop, the glory of cross-horse viewing. But with good handwriting, mixing three meals a day will not be a problem. Especially those paragraphs that describe Jingkang, they are almost a piece of fire, spreading the author's name louder than in previous years.

"The grass on the tomb of the king of E, the desolation of the autumn stone beasts is dangerous. Nandu Junchen is light Sheji, and the fathers of the Central Plains look at the banner. The hero is dead, and the world is not divided. Mo sang this song to the West Lake, and the water and mountains were sad. After a few words were sung through the door, as soon as the strings were closed, the four strokes were immediately exchanged for a full house.

"Good!" While cheering in the tea room, a few copper coins were placed in the corner of the table. The little second brother, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, was quick and ran up. While changing the tea guest with new water, he collected money and dropped his sleeves, and in the middle, he didn't forget to tear his throat and report to the storyteller, "Master Jia rewards ten texts, and he is full of treasures!" “

When the storyteller heard this, he immediately stood up and clenched his fists in thanks. The tea guests who paid the money also got up to return the salute, and the idlers who came with only ears around them slapped their hands excitedly, giving half of the tribute to the storyteller, and the other half to the tea guest who gave money to moisten people's mouths.

Although ten cents is not much, in this year of war and fire, it is difficult to see enough money. Compared with the iron money issued by the former Song Dynasty, it has more than doubled. Not to mention the banknotes handed over by the Yuan Court, those Zhongtong banknotes marked with ten, twenty or even consistent face value have less actual purchasing power than one-twentieth of the face value. If it weren't for the government's forced circulation, he would have been wiped off his buttocks.

In the excitement, the storyteller blushed excitedly, and Tuan Tuan made a circle to thank everyone for their support, slapped the wood in his hand, and said loudly: "It is said that the golden vulture ordered a million troops and went south in three ways." Led by his nephew Jin Chanzi, the left route attacked Taizhou with 200,000 soldiers and horses. The coach on the right side is Yuhan, and he is also a 200,000 soldier and horse to attack Hezhou. The middle route comes with its own vultures, and he made a Ha Mi Chi a military advisor, and sought a good household as a pioneer and went straight to health. Less than half a month after the dispatch of troops, the Yangtze River had been drunk, shaking the south of the Yangtze River. The prime minister Qin Hui had nothing to do, and urged the emperor to surrender. It is said that there are many Jurchen Tatars, and there are few soldiers......."

The storyteller paused, deliberately listening to drink tea to whet the audience's appetite. The tea guest was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and when he was anxious, he heard another startling sound, and the storyteller said loudly, "At this time, Wu Muye jumped out of the crowd and reprimanded in public: 'If the prime minister wants to surrender, he will surrender himself, and the enemy is powerful. What is the more Jurchen soldiers, can they be more than the people of the Great Song Dynasty? As long as the Great Song Dynasty man is willing to contribute to the country, even if it is a brick for one person, he will be beaten back to the desert! ”

"Good! A brick for one person, and also drove him back to the desert. Below was another burst of applause. In fact, everyone knows that what the storyteller says may not be historically true. But in the era when scholars and doctors were vying to worship the Northern Yuan Dynasty as Zhengshuo and sing praises for birds and beasts, someone was willing to say a word for the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally they could get a full house. Moreover, smart storytellers often use the technique of moving mountains and adding seas, comparing the actions of the Broken Army with the Yue Family Army back then.

When it was said that Yue Wumu dragged the 600,000 army of Jin Wushu with thousands of soldiers, and Niu Gao and Zhang Xian broke the right flank of the Jin army, beat Yu Han to cut his beard and abandon his robe, and fled for his life, the atmosphere in the teahouse was even more retreated. Everyone understands that the Yuhan mentioned refers to Ali Hague, and the Golden Vulture and Ha Mi Chi are talking about Da Chun and Zhang Hongfan.

Some of the tea guests who sat in the window seats and were relatively neatly dressed took out their money and put it on the corner of the table. Although the reward is not as generous as that of Master Jia, it is also worth the cost of an ordinary person's meal. Those unemployed idlers who were crowded around the big table in the distance to drink tea, a few people pooled money to buy some refreshments and fruits, and ordered the men to send them to the storyteller's case to express their gratitude. The storyteller was not polite, no matter how much or little tea money was collected, his tone gradually turned tragic, and from the perspective of Yue's army, he narrated the tragedy of the battlefield.

The cheers gradually subsided, and people's attention was drawn to the tragic scene of the battlefield. The guy who had taken enough of the reward money quietly got in front of the most active people in the reward, and whispered: "Guest officer, do you want words and paper, the old story of Wu Muye's resistance to gold?" ”

"How?" A few tea guests looked around and asked in a low voice.

"One copy, only Xianheng money! Pay the banknote according to the market market, 30 cents for one penny! The tea guy said neatly. A few tea guests tacitly reached into their pockets and took out the money and put it in the palm of the man's hand. A moment later, another fellow, by serving snacks to everyone, quietly put under the plate a stack of newspapers that had been forbidden by the imperial court a few months earlier.

The tea guests put the newspaper in their bags, listened to the book for a while, and left their seats one after another to go home to read the newspaper. There are also a few people who are bold, put the newspaper they bought under the table, sneak a few glances, and then quickly put it away, and continue to listen to the book as if nothing happened.

"How's that, what's the news?" Some people are reluctant to spend money on newspapers, but they can't help but be curious, so they come forward with a smiling face and ask.

The person who peeked at the newspaper stretched out his thumb, compared, and then said admiringly, "Niu, the deputy commander Niu Gao only brought one battalion of soldiers and horses, and cleaned up the Jurchen rout one mountain after another, winning seven consecutive battles in half a month, beheading thousands of levels, and capturing more than 10,000..."

"What about the Golden Vulture Technique, he will be able to swallow this breath?"

"Of course he couldn't swallow it, he brought troops to fight again, but he was blocked by Grandpa Yue, and he didn't achieve any results!" The person with the newspaper in his hand said teasingly, glanced down at the table, and continued: "It's like, no, ha, it's okay now, it's messy under Luoxiao Mountain again, Ximen Ye attacked Jizhou at night, hehe, burned someone's grain depot!" ”

Hula, the audience gathered in a large group. Frightened, the tea customer who was buying hurriedly stood up, hid the newspaper and ran out.

"Ximen Biao's 100 people are in Jizhou, and the army will be safe and prosperous in a battle! Okay, isn't it far from Ganzhou? Da Chun, a killer, didn't he play with me, saying that he drove the thieves out of Jiangxi! In the imperial study, Kublai Khan grabbed the newspaper and slammed it on the table.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, think that the two tributaries of Ximen Biao and Lin Qi were indeed beaten by Lord Dachun and fled at that time. But now that Jiangxi is empty, it is not impossible for them to secretly turn back! Hututmur took a few steps forward, picked up the newspaper, and gently wiped away the tea stains that had just been spilled.

This newspaper was not easy to obtain, and he sent his cronies to disguise himself as idle people in the city to buy it with great difficulty. In the summer of this year, Kublai Khan approved the joint petition of Ye Li, Zhao Mengfu (the eleventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin), Kong Zhu (a descendant of Kong Shengren), Hu Mengkui, Wan Yiyu and others, and banned all the newspapers circulating in the market. This move made Hututmur very dissatisfied, and in Hututmur's eyes, the ban on newspapers was a futile exercise. The people have always had the habit of going against the government, and the more you ban it, the more it will circulate in private. However, Kublai Khan's important ministers, such as Hututmur, have since lost a channel to understand the people's situation and the situation on the front line.

"As Qing said, Dachun's move of cutting grass without eradicating the roots is not the slightest mistake." Kublai Khan glared at Khuttu Mur and said angrily.

"He also had no choice, Ximen Biao ran to Jinghu South Road, and His Majesty was not allowed to leave his jurisdiction without permission!" Hututmur didn't look at Kublai Khan's face, and explained for Dachun.

Kublai Khan snatched the newspaper from Khuttemur and continued to read the old news inside, not continuing the topic of Dachun. After Dong Wenshan's death, there was a lack of someone around him who could not only understand the holy will, but also propose reasonable ways to solve the dilemma. Among Hanchen, Liu Mengyan is a mediocre talent, Ye Li is a fake Qinggao who sells his reputation and reputation, and Zhao Mengfu is famous, but he is greedy to the point of scraping the golden Buddha face. That Kong Su is even more unbearable, he has lost his name after being a saint, he is greedy and lustful, and he has no real skills. Of the Mongol ministers, except for Boyan, only one Hutut Mur was stronger than the others, and the others were either narrow-minded or narrow-minded, and they were all overwhelmed.

This situation of withering talents around him made Kublai Khan feel physically exhausted, and every time he went to the court, he had an urge to hide in the palace and not go out.

"Tired, why are there fewer and fewer heroes who have been given to me by the Immortal Heaven for Dayuan? is under the account of the thief, and Hao is outstanding one after another. A few days ago, a Li Xing rose, and then Zhang Tang and Chen Hangyan appeared. Seeing that the little thief Ximen Biao has also become the climate! After reading the old news in the newspaper for a while, Kublai Khan sighed in a low voice.

"In the opinion of the minister, the above words are not true!" Hututmur had the heart to share Kublai Khan's worries, stepped forward, pointed to a few articles in the newspaper and said, "Your Majesty, look at this, there are clear statistics on how many farmhouses they burned, how many people they killed, and how many fields and livestock they destroyed in Jiubadu. Even the specific prefecture, county, and village were pointed out. As for the results of the battle between the two sides, they only said a rough idea, more than 1,000, more than 10,000, and horses fled back, without a specific number. This is clearly a thief deliberately exaggerating the results of the war, and wants to use a virtual and real strategy to confuse our army's heart! ”

"Oh?" Kublai Khan raised his head and glanced at Khutmur in surprise. These incisive analyses were beyond his expectations. In the past few days, the call for the removal of Zhang Hongfan has been increasing in the court, and some Mongolian ministers have been arrested, and even the mistakes made by the Han general Liu Shen have been brought up again. At this time, Hututmur's gaze can transcend ethnic boundaries and analyze problems realistically, and his cool head is valuable.

"According to what you say, the battle reports given to me by Jiubadu and Dachun are more credible?" Kublai Khan thought for a moment and asked.

"In order to reassure Your Majesty, I think they still have the courage to make some fakes. Therefore, regarding the matter of Ximen Biao, the minister did not want His Majesty to pursue it. What the minister means by taking this newspaper is that His Majesty will know if he listens to it......"

"It's a little fake, haven't I ever been on the battlefield?" Kublai Khan sneered, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes in an instant, stabbing Hututmur stunned, and he took a few steps back one after another.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that the situation is forced to do it!" Although he was scared, Hututmur still stubbornly said. Before Boyan's northern tour and Dong Wenshan's "westward trip", they both entrusted each other with state affairs. Thinking of the importance of the two of them, Hututmur did not dare not do his best.

"Tell me, then, what is the current situation? How can the matter of Ximen Biao be related to the battle situation on the front line" Kublai Khan saw that Hututmur actually dared to speak in his own tone, and in amazement, his mind slowly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, Jiubadu and Dachun only did not report the battle situation truthfully, because they were afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government would propose to change the generals in the battle, which delayed the major event of breaking the Song Dynasty. His Majesty also said that Jiuba used soldiers like gods, and he never lost a single battle in a hundred battles. Now, although his attack has been frustrated and his soldiers and horses have been lost, after all, he has taken down the Guangnan East Road for His Majesty. The merits and demerits can be offset. Jiubadu is in Tingzhou at the moment, presumably looking for the flaws of the thief, trying to capture the thief to repay His Majesty. And at this moment, if we mess up the position in the rear, it will drag down Jiubadu and mess up his military morale! ”

Hututmur bowed and said loudly. After taking over Dong Wenshan's position, he knew that he was not talented, so he deliberately referred to the rumored model of the Broken Army, and organized a staff group in his own home to collect front-line information every day and work together. This effort has been very effective, and under the effect of the relatively efficient staff mechanism, Hututmur's vision of the problem is more than one level higher than that of the ministers.

Seeing that Kublai Khan had a thoughtful look on his admonitions, Hutut Mur paused and continued: "As for Lin Qi and Ximen Biao to bring disaster to Jiangxi again, I think it is the same reason. Jiuba used troops to suppress Wen Tianxiang, making him tired and unable to fight a decisive battle with our army. Therefore, Wen Tianxiang remembered such a trick, on the one hand, he ordered Ximen Biao to harass Jiangxi and tried to force His Majesty to order Dachun to withdraw his troops. On the other hand, he made the situation of the battle public and exaggerated the results of the battle, so that His Majesty could withdraw the nine capitals. Therefore, the more this is the case, the more Your Majesty must calm down and not fulfill their wishes! ”

"There is some truth to it! Brother Confused is not confused" Kublai Khan nodded and praised in a low voice. Although Hututmur's analysis did not exactly match what he thought in his heart, it also said the key point, that is, no matter how the ministers attacked each other, Zhang Hongfan must not move.

Not only Zhang Hongfan, but all Hanchen should not move at present. If one moves, others will inevitably be cold. Once one of them secretly communicates with the literary thief, the loss to the court will be even greater.

But Hututmur's analysis is not complete, and Ximen Biao's appearance is not just to shake his trust in Dachun. Kublai Khan knew in his heart that he had long lost confidence in Jiangxi Youcheng Dachun. Whether there is such a thing as Ximen Biao or not, he must find an opportunity to replace him.

At present, the purpose of Lin Qi and Ximen Biao appearing in Jiangxi is to cut off the grain route of the front-line army. Although the number of this gang of thieves is not large, the impact on the frontline battle situation cannot be underestimated, so we must find a way to calm it down as soon as possible.

Thinking of the rebellion that had spread everywhere encouraged by the Fujian Metropolitan Governorate, Kublai Khan glanced at the newspaper again. Some strange thoughts suddenly popped up in his heart, and he asked himself: "Is this newspaper printed by the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office, and how did it spread so quickly?" ”

"The minister sent someone to check, and this newspaper is not the original from the thief's side. It was a version of the literary thief, and it was printed directly near the capital. In this way, it can spread widely and quickly! It is said that someone regularly distributes cash to those who print newspapers, and the minister is sending someone to check who is printing and who pays for this loss-making business! As if expecting Kublai Khan to ask about this, Hututmur calmly replied.

"Do you have eyebrows?" Kublai Khan's nose curled upward, and a layer of murderous intent slowly floated in his heart.

Curling the tip of the nose was a habitual movement of Kublai Khan, and it only appeared when he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. As a close minister, Hututmur knew this clearly, Hututmur moved back half a step and began to play in a low voice: "A little, but there is no evidence." Recently, the folk storytelling, the opening sentence is Zhao Fuzi's words, that is, 'Nandu Junchen is light and light, and the water and mountains are sad. The title of the newspaper is also Zhao Fuzi's penmanship, as if he wrote it himself! ”

"Mrs. Zhao, he doesn't have the courage or responsibility? Don't fall for someone else! Kublai Khan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile. The Mongol ministers did not like to call Hanchen by name, and often referred to them by nicknames. This is to save trouble, and the second is to show that their status is higher than that of the other party, and they can be condescendingly belittled. Zhao Fuzi is the nickname of Zhao Mengfu, the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin in the court of Kublai Khan is a symbol of the Northern Yuan Dynasty's conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty, and cannot be moved lightly. And according to Kublai Khan's observation, although Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy and painting level is very high, his political ability and courage are very poor, and it is impossible to enter the eyes of the captive army.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen also thought so, so he didn't dare to alarm Master Zhao. However, the Weichen opinion sent people to interact with those who sell newspapers will definitely find out as soon as possible those who spread rumors and confuse the public! Hututmur habitually patted himself on the back and whispered assurances to Kublai Khan.

"Spreading rumors and confusing the public, the words of the Qing family are very reasonable. I felt that Wen Tianxiang deliberately exaggerated the results of the war, and that was for this. Confusing the public, confusing the public, smart people will naturally justify the truth and falsehood, those foolish people, I'm afraid ......." Kublai Khan sighed, just about to laugh at the ministers who did not distinguish between right and wrong, listening to the wind and rain, suddenly thought of Boyan, and a dark cloud floated on his face.

"Your Majesty......?" Khuttemur called out in a low voice, he didn't know why Kublai Khan's face had suddenly changed.

"Where's Boyan? Where did he give me a tune lately? Kublai Khan ignored Hututmur's call and asked himself.

"Lord Boyan is on Hening Road, and he is preparing to continue to return to Dadu!" After all, the reaction speed was slow, and Hututmur agreed in a daze.

"Quickly summon Boyan back, and order the soldiers of Zhongshu Province and Liaoyang Province to return to the camp immediately and wait for the day!" Kublai Khan stared at the north and commanded loudly.

"Could it be that the thief exaggerated the results of the war for Liaoyang?" Huttutmur finally came to his senses and cried out in a lost voice.

An autumn breeze rose from the window, causing cold sweat to roll down his back.
