The scouts of the Broken Army hidden in various places sent the spy reports back to Fuzhou one after another.

The map of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is full of dense flags. The Yuan army, the Song army, the Song army, the Yuan army, are intertwined. You have me, I have you. Some places have become bandit-infested areas, and the people who have lost their homes gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, each waving a different banner. The chaotic situation quickly caused them to lose their way, and the villagers who had lost the simplicity of the initial moment of the uprising, under the impetus of some ill-intentioned scholars, quickly pursued their dreams of becoming kings and hegemons. Two or three hundred self-proclaimed generals, and thousands of people founded the country and became kings. And the subordinates of these princes and generals were even more vicious than the Mongols in front of the unarmed people. When encountering the Yuan army, the performance was weaker than that of the Great Song Xiang army.

The situation is becoming more and more complicated, the chaotic situation brings new fighters, and crises are often closest to the fighters.

His eyes were fixed on the map, and Wen Tianxiang's brows were tightly locked. Behind him, Zou Wei, Chen Longfu, Liu Zijun, Zeng Huan and others had faces as dignified as Wen Tianxiang.

What worries them is not the chaotic war in front of them, but how to face the imperial court. Since the defeat of the empty pit, most of the soldiers in the Broken Army have despaired of the imperial court, whether they are fighting alone, whether they are training troops to fight guerrillas in Baizhangling, or defending Shaowu, or fighting a decisive battle with the Tartars, they have never expected to get any practical help from the imperial court.

Wen Cheng was quite old because he was excluded everywhere in the imperial court, and he was not allowed to ask for a decree to open a mansion in Nanjianzhou. And the imperial court has always used the Wen army as a victim of delaying the enemy's actions. Everyone knows this very well, and few people are rarely taken seriously by the imperial court anymore.

However, the importance of the court is not uncommon, but it does not mean that it is not loyal to the court. Thousands of years of education have a root in everyone's heart, and the difference is only the depth and shallowness of the roots.

After Zhang Shijie captured Guangnan, the Broken Army, which had always been regarded as the periphery, suddenly became important in the eyes of the imperial court. Within half a month, at the risk of being intercepted by the Pujia sailors, the Qincha of the Xing Dynasty had already come by boat in three batches. A group of positions is higher than a group, and the official hats issued to generals in the army are getting bigger and bigger.

The imperial court took Guangzhou, and after taking a breather, it would immediately come to drag the back of the captive army. This was what Wen Tianxiang expected. It's just that he didn't expect that the imperial court's action of digesting the captives would be so impatient and so blatant.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and everyone was rewarded. In addition to Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty had just added the duke of Xinguo, and for his right-hand man Zou Xun, he was promoted from the squire of the military department to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Knowing that the Broken Army was created by Wen Tianxiang, he forcibly separated the government affairs and military affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Government affairs belong to the Prime Minister, and military affairs belong to the Deputy Privy Council. (In the Song system, the prime minister did not concurrently serve as the privy deputy envoy, so as to achieve the separation of civil and military powers).

In addition, in the holy decree, he also promoted the generals in the army exceptionally, and while sealing a bunch of appeasement envoys with overlapping positions, making envoys, and rewarding the merits of the Broken Army, he also put forward a request that the Broken Army provide 100 legendary artillery pieces and 1,000 broken bows, which were transported to Yashan by sea and handed over to Ling Zhen's Department to guard the Cliff Gate.

After operating the three northern prefectures of Fujian for half a year, the army was no longer as difficult as it used to be, and the imperial court did not allocate troops and horses, did not grant materials, and only blindly awarded false titles. After all, the Xing Dynasty had just landed, and it was unseemly to let the emperor and the courtiers and soldiers sleep in tents.

But knowing that the Broken Army was surrounded by strong enemies, and forcibly reached out to ask for weapons, he was a little too anxious.

Fujian was not an easy place to settle down, and there were nearly 200,000 new annexed troops of Fan Wenhu, the governor of Zhejiang, in the north, the Mongol soldiers of Dachun in the west, Liu Shen and Suodu in the southwest were approaching day by day, and the Pujia in Quanzhou in the southeast was also eyeing the tiger. In this case, I don't think about how to join forces with the Broken Army, break the siege of the Northern Yuan, and connect Fujian and Guangnan together. On the contrary, calculating the little family background of the Broken Army, such a stingy thing can only be done by those boring ministers of the imperial court.

A hundred cannons, searching all over the captive army, can't get this number. A thousand steel crossbows, that's the equipment of two battalions. Now many of the bow and arrow battalions of the Broken Army are still holding simple bamboo board bows, squeezing a thousand broken bows to the Xing Dynasty, even if Wen Tianxiang and others agree, the low-level soldiers will not agree.

The air in the chamber was so oppressive that it could be lit with a fire breaker. How to march and fight, everyone is willing to give advice, how to deal with the measures of the imperial court, no one can say a proper way.

Prime Minister Wen encouraged everyone to speak endlessly, and would not add offense to others because of their words. But at present, the endgame of half of the Great Song Dynasty has just improved, and if it is destroyed by the Northern Yuan Dynasty due to the separation of the Broken Army, it will be exterminated by the Northern Yuan. I am afraid that the person who makes the proposal will henceforth be burdened with the hat of dividing the monarch and the ministers and causing trouble in internal affairs. No one can afford this thousand-year-old infamy.

In the same way, no one can say anything to persuade the Prime Minister to accept the request of the imperial court. Fools can see that such a holy decree is definitely not from the hands of the eight or nine-year-old child emperor who is facing himself. External fetters, coupled with internal divisions and disintegration, were only the first steps in many of the imperial court's initiatives. Once the Breaker Army agrees, then the tricks of those schemers will be even more unscrupulous.

The Qin Cha who came to deliver the decree had already faintly revealed some news of dissatisfaction within the imperial court with Wen Tianxiang's unauthorized change of the military and political system. Moreover, from the mouth of the Chincha people, it can be clearly heard that the ministers of the DPRK and China are showing off the series of achievements they have recently achieved in Quang Nam. With the support of the civilian armed forces, the Xing Dynasty successively recovered Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Xinzhou, and Enzhou, and its territory was no smaller than that of the Broken Army.

With a territory as large as the northern three prefectures of Fujian, the courtiers' waists are gradually hardening, so the accusations are becoming more and more unkind. This time, it was because of Lord Lu Xiufu's kind mediation that he did not attach a tone of resignation after the holy decree of the commendation.

"What kind of thing, war exploits, Huizhou is right under your nose, why didn't you see them touch it!" Tao Laomo, the commander of the eighth standard, scolded loudly. He was born as a mountain king, and he didn't have so many twists and turns in his stomach, so he recognized all the real dead people. Although the official on the top of his head is also a transfer envoy at the moment, the words he said are still vulgar and unwritten.

On the surface, Xingchao has recently turned from defense to offense, and the results have been brilliant. But that was because Dachun led the main force of Mengyuan to the north to pursue Chen Hangyan, and the troops on the South Guangdong Road were empty. Huizhou is on the east side of Guangzhou, but more than 100,000 soldiers and horses did not dare to attack, lest they hit Huizhou and attract the Suodu in the Chao and Zhangzhou areas.

Their water-soaked battles are not worth mentioning at all compared to the results of the bloody battles of the Broken Army.

"Xiuwen, don't talk nonsense! You are also the general of the Great Song Dynasty now," Zou Wei reprimanded in a low voice. Xiuwen is the word that Tao Lao Mo gave himself after he became literate. It's a pity that the old master Chen Longfu taught him to read, but he didn't teach him the way to be an official.

Tao Lao Mo grinned and stopped talking.

Whether he wears the official clothes of Da Song or not, he doesn't care. Being able to fight with the Tartars under Wen Tianxiang is the top priority in his heart. After a few months in the army, he already had some understanding of the structure of the Broken Army, and knew that Zou Wei was the number two person in the army. Although Wen Tianxiang and Zou Wei have disagreements from time to time, at critical moments, Wen Tianxiang will also maintain Zou Wei's authority.

In the eyes of Tao Laomo, who is straightforward, what makes Wen Tianxiang unable to make a decision is Zou Wei and some old people who follow the prime minister to fight. Although these officials who have eaten the Great Song Dynasty have always been unwilling, they have a deeper affection for the imperial court than the generals from the People's Army. At this moment, Prime Minister Wen Cheng, who values feelings, not only has to consider the impact on the entire anti-Yuan cause after breaking with the imperial court, but also has to consider whether various actions will affect the unity and morale of the Broken Army.

Like on Baizhang Ridge again, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Tianxiang again, looking forward to his decision. It's just that the eyes at that time were full of trust, but at this moment, some people's eyes contained hesitation.

Everyone has a ledger in their hearts. Prime Minister Wen Cheng assisted the Song family and led the army to resist the Yuan. Even if there are many behaviors that do not conform to the ancestral system, for the sake of the country, everyone must stand on his side. But the imperial court has repeatedly pressed, if Prime Minister Wen is really forced to disagree as the legend says, where should everyone go?

Follow Prime Minister Wen to Qingjun's side, what is the difference between it and the bandits in various places?

Don't you follow Prime Minister Wen, but who else in the world can bring so many people together and lead everyone to resist the Tartars?

In the eyes of everyone, Wen Tianxiang, who had his back to everyone, slowly hunched down.

The praise of the world belongs to this one person. The accusations of the world's Youyou mouth are also borne by him alone. At the moment, no one can replace him or help him.

Looking at Wen Tianxiang's slightly trembling back, Zou Wei felt a little unbearable. took half a step forward and suggested in a low voice: "Prime Minister, otherwise....?"

His idea was very simple, the generals jointly sent a letter to the imperial court to explain the plight of the captive army. and to meet some of the requirements of the imperial court as appropriate, and pay for a part of the artillery and the bow of the captive.

Wen Tianxiang shook his head lightly and interrupted Zou Xun's proposal.

From the moment he woke up on Baizhang Ridge, his heart had never been calm. The army was reorganized, the troops were trained, and the system was restructured, and Shao Wu was stubbornly defended to relieve the siege for the imperial court. With each step forward, we are getting closer and closer to the goal of national rejuvenation. But with each step, the distance from the imperial court became farther and farther away. There is some pressure that makes him unable to pass through his breath, but there is no one around him who can share it.

He knew why Zou Xun persuaded him like this. Zou Wei was loyal to the imperial court, and he was also loyal to the army. After weighing the two loyalties, all that can be done is to back down and beg.

But Wen Tianxiang couldn't afford to back down. The will of the imperial court embarrassed him and made him miserable. The chaotic thoughts in his mind unconsciously changed the way he did things.

The books he read and the teachings he received since he was a child made him unable to give up the Great Song Dynasty. But the history in Wen Zhong's memory reminds him from time to time that every move at this moment is related to the entire nation.

The struggle in his heart made it impossible for him to make a choice easily. Most of the time, Wen Tianxiang knows to try his best to balance and try his best to compromise. Try your best to suppress the contradictions and press back the moment of facing the criticism of the imperial court. Because he knows that not everyone in the Broken Army has awakened.

He didn't want the newly formed Broken Army to be divided by a different perspective on the problem. Sometimes, Wen Tianxiang even imagined that under the huge military pressure of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, people of insight in the Xing Dynasty could give up the maintenance of the ancestral system and the dogma of science, and store the salvation map in the first place, looking at the rapid growth of the strength of the Broken Army, and acquiesced in these practices.

After the New Deal and the New Army grow up, even if it is pointed out by thousands of people, he can face it calmly. Because by that time, the fire sown by himself can already start a prairie fire, and no one can stop the fire of the revival of Chinese civilization.

Today, it is clear that his ideas are too wishful thinking. I underestimated the sense of smell of the old-fashioned, and overestimated the political wisdom of the scholars. He sent Du Hu to lead the sailors and fight on the periphery, temporarily calming the contradictions between the radicals and the conservatives. And a holy decree of the imperial court put all the internal contradictions he had worked so hard to suppress on the table.

Today, in front of the senior generals of the Broken Army, Wen Tianxiang must make a decision.

And the generals will also make a trade-off between the Fujian New Deal and the Great Song Dynasty. Taking this step, not only Wen Tianxiang himself, but everyone will never be able to turn back.

The country, the court, the court, the country, staring at the map, deep inside, like thousands of troops and horses at war. Wen Tianxiang's hand pressed on the table, and unconsciously, sweat was already soaking his back.

Suddenly, his hand was raised, and then slowly lowered. This moment seems like a century is long.

Drinker's note: Please take your ideas, what should Wen Tianxiang do? Those who adopt the proposal will receive the best set award.
