Responsibilities (7)

At that moment, in Zeng Huan's eyes, the Prime Minister's back was a little hunched. The thin shoulders under the green shirt seemed to be pressed against a thousand pounds, so that he couldn't straighten his waist, and his arms and legs were trembling slightly.

Zeng Huan suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't have expressed it so bluntly. Although speaking out, daring to admonish is the basic requirement for a strategist, he doesn't know if he has done so, whether he has hit the self-confidence of the prime minister. In other words, it interferes with the decision that the Prime Minister already has in his heart.

Wen Tianxiang didn't speak for a long time, and Zeng Huan's last sentence "The rules are so" stung him deeply. Whether it is the rules of reality or the unspoken rules, Zeng Huan is right. It is that I have always had a good wish, hoping to solve all the problems accumulated over thousands of years in a short period of time once and for all. But in reality, this was opposed by everyone.

Do people who fight the country have to sit on the country? In that way, what is the difference with the grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king and gathers righteousness and divides the gold! From Wen Zhong's point of view, Wen Tianxiang could not see the inevitable connection between fighting the country and sitting on the country. But the reaction of the generals and staff officers clearly gave him an answer that everyone thought was correct. Ask a hundred people, and ninety-nine of them will give the answer without thinking, that is, 'Whoever brought down the country will be managed by whomever it is.'" Otherwise, what are you pinning your head to the waistband of your pants for? ’

Wen Zhong's memories have taught him too many things, and almost all of the achievements of the Broken Capture Army now are related to the memories of those scales. Wen Zhong taught him to use guerrilla warfare to solve the initial existential crisis, which he did, and the seeds of resistance were preserved. Wen Zhong taught him to use firearms to make up for the lack of physical condition of the southerners, and he did, and the Broken Army became famous. Wen Zhong taught him to open a military academy to train low-level generals, which he did, and now the Broken Army is running as nimble as a new machine.

However, Wen Zhong taught him the grassroots election method, and he tried to accept it selectively, but the harvest was complete defeat. Enemies, friends, old ministries, almost all of them stood on his opposite side and scrambled to be the first.

At this moment, he is truly alone.

"If the prime minister is really determined to go his own way and promote the election, it is not completely impossible!" After being silent for a while, Chief of Staff Zeng Huan couldn't bear to see Wen Tianxiang too frustrated, and suggested in a low voice, "General Zou is on the two roads in Guangnan, and they have almost killed Haoqiang, even if the election is implemented, it will not let the family take advantage." The prime minister made up his mind again at this moment, and arrested a group of people in the Confucian forest who tried to fish in troubled waters, and those who tried to mess things up in the court, locked up a group, and killed a group. ”

"How many can you do it, I don't know how long it can last?" Wen Tianxiang smiled and asked. The smile on his face looked a little miserable.

"As long as the Broken Army maintains its military prestige for twenty years, as long as the Prime Minister keeps the military power in his hands. Twenty years later, everyone got used to the New Deal, so they naturally followed this path......! Zeng Huan tried his best to comfort.

Whether it was against the new annexed army or the Mongol army, the advantage of the captive army was becoming more and more obvious. With the deterrent power of this army, it is not entirely impossible to force the New Deal to be promoted. But in that case, the price to pay will be very large. Perhaps no chaos in history will be worse than after the New Deal was forced.

Judging from the current situation, the Broken Army will not turn its back on the Prime Minister's Mansion. But can the Prime Minister make up his mind? Was he mentally prepared for this? Zeng Huan didn't have an answer in his heart, and his voice became lower and lower, lower and lower, and finally almost inaudible.

Wen Tianxiang shook his head dejectedly, Zeng Huan was a loyal staff officer, although he was very reluctant to make this strategy, he could feel that he was really solving problems for himself. However, the New Deal, which was carried out with a saber, violated the principles of the New Deal from the beginning. Does this still make sense, can it still be called a New Deal?

Neither of them spoke, watching the daylight outside the window dim a little. The noise of the soldiers in the courtyard gradually subsided, and the work was over, and the day's hard work was coming to an end. Someone walked past the council hall, and from the expression on the guard's face, he sensed that something might be wrong in the room, and walked away from it.

"Charter, you drafted a military order to reward the officers and soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army at all levels, and said that the Metropolitan Governor's Office was very pleased to receive the news that they had won the battle, and let them continue to work hard to end the war before the autumn and stabilize the two Guangzhous!"

I don't know how long it took, Wen Tianxiang finally came back to his senses from his contemplation and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zeng Huan's answer was very simple, but a little confusion flashed on his face. The further the march to the northwest, the more mountains there are, and the more complex the terrain becomes, the less favorable it is for the transportation of artillery. And now the resistance of the powerful everywhere is getting stronger and stronger, and it is simply impossible to extinguish all the flames of resistance in one summer.

"Draft another decree, paying attention to the wording. It is said that because of the outbreak of the plague, the appointment of officials and local governance in the newly recovered areas were postponed. After the plague passes, the Prime Minister's Mansion will convene the generals in the army, the Confucian scholars, the local gentry, and the Lizheng and district chiefs who were elected two years ago to discuss the state of the country in Quanzhou, and discuss, what is the purpose of our army to resist the Yuan? Negotiate a Provisional Statute that is acceptable to all, including the methods and principles for the handling of government affairs and the selection of officials. Those who do not want to bend to the affairs of the people, after being elected by the local people or recognized by the gentry and celebrities, will have the opportunity to participate! ”

"This, Prime Minister, about the Northern Expedition?" Zeng Huan reminded in a low voice.

Wen Tianxiang's order he understood, the prime minister is worthy of being a masterpiece in the world, open-minded enough, tough but not obsessed, this step back is big enough. Now this decree is to imitate the ancestor of that day into Xianyang, and make a covenant with the princes and the people. In this way, the interests of all parties can be taken care of, and the dissatisfaction of everyone can also be calmed.

However, with the characters of Confucianism and Shilin who like to rip their skins, how long will it take for the law to come out of the cage?

"Charter, do you think that being killed by Uncle Feng in Guangnan like this, Liangguang will be able to stabilize for a while?" Wen Tianxiang asked with a wry smile.

Those heroes were taken by surprise and were hit hard by Zou Wei. They don't have the strength to fight the Breakers head-on, but they can rely on the support of their clan to turn their resistance into the shadows. Some of the two Guangxi are mountainous areas, and some are thieves who occupy the mountains. Haoqiang colluded with the thieves to make trouble, and without tens of thousands of troops stationed, the local government could not restore calm in a short period of time.

The rear is unstable, and the Northern Expedition is just an empty word. The Breakers who wield new weapons are strong, but they also have a high demand for supplies. Without a stable rear, a stable supply of ordnance, grain and grass cannot be guaranteed, and no matter how far the north is farther and no matter how good the commander is, the fate of the entire army will inevitably be destroyed in the end.

"I'm afraid that someone will deliberately pull the skin so that the law can't be pushed out!" Zeng Huan explained in a low voice. Wen Tianxiang planned to let Li Zheng and the district governors, who had experience in elections, participate in the covenant, and these people who had experienced the new deal and benefited from it must have tried to steer the covenant in their favor. And the officers and men of the Broken Army will definitely give themselves the necessary support to a certain extent. Ru Lin and the old officials could not take the initiative when making the covenant, so naturally they would not be very satisfied. If you don't get it right, you will play some shady tricks to make the "Temporary Covenant" stillborn.

With his understanding of the way the scholars acted, Zeng Huan was very uneasy about this. Just as he was thinking about how to make Wen Tianxiang's decree more complete, he heard Wen Tianxiang say: "You might as well tell everyone that if the temporary agreement does not come out for a day, Liangguang will be temporarily managed by Zou Wei and Xiao Mingzhe, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not interfere with what they do." If there is still no result after a month of discussion, it means that everyone has no good way. Then we have no choice but to implement our original election method and follow the method that has been tried in northern Fujian! ”

"This, Prime Minister?" Zeng Huan felt that his head was a little dizzy, and Wen Tianxiang had hidden too many mysteries in just a few words. Zou and Xiao Er will kill the heroes and powerhouses on the two roads of Guangnan, and the local celebrities will not drive them away. In order to make this wish come true as soon as possible, they don't have much time to dwell on the details. And those who are unwilling to accept the original method of election have no choice but to make necessary compromises to the demands of others in order to better protect their own interests in the provisional law.

This country will be opened, and if it is not done, it will cause great trouble. Zeng Huan thought silently, raised his head, and looked at Wen Tianxiang again, and suddenly found that the Prime Minister's back had straightened, as if he had suddenly had an epiphany, and his vitality and confidence enveloped his whole body again.

"What tricks is the man playing again? Raising troops to resist the Yuan Dynasty is naturally to rebuild the orthodoxy of our Great Song Dynasty. Heaven, earth, kings, relatives, and teachers, with the respect and humility of the upper and lower levels, can the government decrees be unimpeded, and the government and the opposition can be orderly. This is a truth that everyone understands, why do you make such a big move? Five days later, in the largest seafood restaurant in Fuzhou City, in a window seat, several old celebrities with Eguanbo discussed.

They were all summoned by people with good intentions, and they originally planned to take the opportunity to make some trouble when the election was going on, but who expected that the election would be postponed, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion launched the Mutual Discussion of the State is this excerpt. Since everyone came, it was not good to give up halfway, so they sat together, while flipping through the newspaper that published the decree of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and deduced what Wen Tianxiang intended to do next.

"It's hard to say, Maniac Wen has always acted unexpectedly. This is true of war, and so is governance. Just like the 100-fish banquet a few months ago, he invited celebrities from all over the world to make poems in Fuzhou, and the old man thought that he had changed his temperament and wanted to leave a good story in Confucianism. Now I understand that he was using it, and the Broken Army was short of food at that time, and wanted everyone to take the lead in taking fish for food! A backlit old man sitting in his sixties, with white hair hanging down his shoulders, shook his head and commented. From his words, it was impossible to tell whether he praised Wen Tianxiang for being smart or accused him of acting unreasonably.

"However, this fish tastes good, we were taken advantage of, and we didn't suffer any losses!" Opposite him, an old man with a gray beard picked up a thin, translucent orange-red fish belly with chopsticks, dipped it in some spices, and put it in his mouth.

The freshly caught fish tasted fresh raw, and his expression looked satisfied and intoxicated.

"yes, at least I found a lot of delicious food that I haven't tasted before!" Beside the white beard, a man with a short black beard said. Not to be left behind, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up another piece of fish.

This huge marine fish has few bones and thick meat, making it especially suitable for eating raw. But before the Hundred Fish Banquet, because of the improper practices of the restaurant, it was not popular with everyone. At the Hundred Fish Banquet, chefs from all walks of life showed their skills, allowing many nearly lost unique skills to reappear in the world. Since then, eating this fish has become a trend. Fish households, restaurants and large households have all benefited from this.

"What about Lord Lu, does he have any new instructions for everyone? Don't patronize and eat, lean against the sea, there are a lot of food! The white hair looked around, and saw that there were no idlers waiting for the approach, so he lowered his voice and shouted.

"Lord Lu said that since Prime Minister Wen wants everyone to discuss the state of the country, everyone will come up with a charter and work together to defend the right path of Qianqiu!" Blackbeard replied in a whisper. In the end, he added a sentence on his own initiative, "I don't think this is appropriate, in terms of martial arts and cultural governance, Lu Xiang and Wen Xiang are half divided, everyone helps him to help him, don't get yourself in." ”

"Yes, Prime Minister Wen is soft-handed, but the surnamed Zou is unreasonable, I heard that on Guangnan West Road, he, Ka ......" The white beard gestured with a knife.

"Those traitors and traitors should be killed! But we are really for the sake of Da Song, it will be fine! In the corner, someone asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, the struggle for authority has always been ruthless."

"Nonsense, Wen Xiang and Lu Xiang are not that kind of people, they are moral struggles, like, just like ......" tried to make an analogy, and they didn't find a suitable example for a long time. originally wanted to cite Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, but when I thought about it, these two famous ministers fought to the death for the sake of restructuring and defending the system, and countless people were invited to Hainan Island as guests. The dispute between Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu is also for the sake of governing the country, although Prime Minister Wen Cheng gave in at this time, who knows if everyone pushes too much, he will turn his face. No matter how hard the tongue is, it can't be sharper than a knife. At present, the Northern Yuan Dynasty is eyeing the enemy, in the name of maintaining the overall situation of the anti-Yuan Dynasty, except for the emperor, who can't cut off the head of the Wen madman?

"My generation deserves to die to defend the right path! Wen is dead, martial arts are fighting, the righteousness is in me, and the sword is not afraid! "Someone is long, straight.

"How do you know that righteousness is in me? It turns out that if everything is right, how did the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols get in! Someone coldly retorted.

"You coward!"

"You pedantic!"

Their own people quarreled with their own people, and they didn't want to let each other, and the voice gradually rose up, and it was heard far away from the street.

On Guangnan West Road, Zou Wei, Xiao Mingzhe, Zhang Tang, Su Liuyi and others read the commendation order issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Office with anxiety. Wen Tianxiang did not say a word about the measures taken by everyone to crack down on Haoqiang on the two roads of Quang Nam. But everyone has seen the reaction of the prime minister in the recent military orders and government orders.

The method of election will be changed, and adjustments will be made in accordance with the law after the introduction of the Provisional Covenant. This is a great concession made by Wen Cheng to everyone, but forcing Prime Minister Wen Cheng to make concessions to everyone at the same time, he is trying to rob the meritorious people and Confucian characters like the Xing Dynasty, which is a result that the generals are unwilling to see.

Wen Tianxiang openly asked in the newspaper, what is the purpose of everyone raising troops to resist the Yuan? After everyone drove away the Northern Yuan Dynasty, what kind of Great Song did they want to establish.

This question made cold sweat break out on the foreheads of Zou Xun and the others. For the veterans who came down from Baizhang Ridge, this answer was originally very clear, in order not to be donkeys for the Mongols and not to be fourth-class slaves. But with the expansion of the Breakers and their military victories, many lost themselves.

"If you want me to say, we have to think of a way to end the war between Guangxi and Guangxi as soon as possible, and then send people back to attend the national conference as soon as possible, otherwise, just listening to those Confucian celebrities fanning the flames will confuse everyone again. When the time comes, a covenant will come out, and it will be written all about their benefits, and our wicked people in Quang Nam will be in vain! Yang Xiaorong saw that everyone was a little short of breath, and stood up and said.

He also regretted that he had done a little too much that day, compared to Zou Xun's behavior of forcing people to rebel and salute first and then soldiering, he felt that his approach was simply a child's game. But since it has been done, it can't be done halfway, and the Western Expeditionary Army opened a killing spree in Quang Nam, just so that the peaches of victory would not be picked by others. So, in any case, at the covenant meeting, someone has to stand up and speak for the interests of the soldiers.

"Interests are fought for, if you don't fight, others will not take the initiative to give you. Prime Minister Wen's way of holding meetings is a good way. Everyone bargains, and no one will complain when the time comes......"

Zou Xun glared at Yang Xiaorong, pressed the remaining half of his words back into his stomach, turned his head, and asked the other generals, "What do you think, what should we do next?" ”

"It's time to send a few people back, first, to support the Prime Minister and show the strength of our captive army. come, and also remind everyone, so that they don't go too far, and don't leave any benefit to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. After all, in the future Northern Expedition, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will still be the main force, and the prime minister does not care about interests, but the back road of the soldiers under his command cannot be ignored! Wu Xizao's suggestion was very serious, he scattered all his family wealth and pulled up the banner of resistance to the Yuan, and he didn't care about personal gains and losses. But after taking the soldiers for so long, he also knew that he couldn't require his subordinates to be all saints, after all, in this world, there are still laypeople who account for the majority.

"Yes, the Great Song Dynasty is weak, just because no one can speak for the generals in the court. There is no successor to the generals! Su Liuyi said loudly. He has never been very satisfied with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. But compared to other literati, he preferred to support the Metropolitan Governorate.

The atmosphere gradually began to liven, and many generals expressed the same meaning, that is, to seize the key opportunity of the covenant to open their eyes for the warriors. Although it is a temporary law, it must also be taken seriously, and the interests of the warriors should be clearly written on it, and the mistakes of the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty who fought wars but were subject to the literati everywhere cannot be repeated.

What is the purpose of everyone raising troops to resist the Yuan? After everyone drove away the Northern Yuan Dynasty, what kind of Great Song did they want to establish? Zou Xun looked at everyone in a daze, and suddenly, he felt that he understood Wen Tianxiang's mind a little. Whether the guess is correct or not, he can't be sure, but he knows that the direction is there, and he is not far from the real answer.

Fujian and Zhejiang, Songxi, the guard general Li Xing's contact person quickly sent the invitation letter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Metropolitan Governor's Office wanted to convene the world's heroes to discuss the state of the country, and the resisters of Liangzhejiang, Jiangxi, Jinghu and Lianghuai were invited. Now the two Zhejiang provinces have become a blank area, and the heroes who have been guided and supported by the Broken Army such as the Langli Leopard and the Drill Mountain Harrier have turned the mountain villages and suburbs upside down. In many places, land once seized by the Mongols and traitors was forcibly returned to tenants. Fan Wenhu had the heart to support the traitors, but he could no longer mobilize enough soldiers and horses. Basically, except for a few of his own generals, no one is willing to really work for him anymore.

"We raised an army to resist the Yuan Dynasty in order to not be a fourth-class person, not to maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty. If God has mercy on us, we can rebuild a country, and I hope that in this country, no one will be treated differently based on their birth, rich or poor, and no one will be a slave anymore! Looking at the messenger in the distance, Li Xing thought silently.

In his dream, fighting the country is not for dividends, not for the sake of establishing fame. It is the duty of the government to protect the interests of everyone, and it is the sole purpose for which the state is built.
