In the spring and March of the second year of Song Xiangxing, the Northern Yuan Dynasty took Zhang Hongfan as the marshal of the Song Dynasty and the governor of Jiangnan Zhulu 400,000 troops. Another 50,000 Mongol, Tanmachi, and Han troops were sent south, and 1 million were sent south.

As soon as the words came out of the emperor's mouth, the court was in a mess like a pot. The Yuan system was first established by Yelu Chucai, and there were many imitations in the Liao and Jin countries. The systems of the Liao and Jin dynasties were mostly imitated by the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Wenchen was the most daring and daring to admonish. In addition, the Mongols were naturally rude, so some Mongolian officials immediately jumped out and questioned Kublai Khan's words.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!" Isht Moore was the first to come out to fulfill the responsibility of imperial history, "Zhang Hongfan's age and prestige cannot serve the public, Your Majesty leads the army with him, I am afraid that the front line will not be mobilized effectively, and this is a major event in the Song Dynasty!" ”

Zhang Hongfan's great military exploits are well known to everyone, so they cannot question Zhang Hongfan's command ability. But prestige and convincing are very good reasons to be questioned. In the Imperial History, Saliman then stepped forward and echoed Ishtmoore's opinion. For Zhang Hongfan himself, he has no dissatisfaction, but commanding an army of nearly 500,000 people, it should be a Mongol to be the commander. Everyone didn't know what to say, but they all thought that only in this way could they echo the truth that the world was dominated by Mongols.

"I think that Jiuba is up to the task!" Yang Renzhong, the squire of the military department, jumped out angrily and refuted-for-tat. He deliberately ignored Zhang Hongfan's surname and ethnicity, but listed Zhang Hongfan's outstanding military exploits one by one. Finally, in response to Ishtmur's question of prestige, he loudly retorted: "Whoever leads the army, the authority comes from the king, not from himself. The generals have the heart of loyalty, and naturally order and prohibit, how can the prestige not be enough to convince the public! The minister thinks that what the imperial historian said is really a big fallacy! ”

The old faces of the Imperial Historian Isht Mur, the Taishi Itche Chala, and the Imperial Historian Cheng Sariman suddenly turned black, knowing that they had accidentally been caught by Yang Renzhong, they quietly signaled to the right prime minister Boyan with their eyes, and asked him to stand up and speak for the Mongolian officials. saw Boyan half-squinting his eyes, as if he was asleep, and he didn't want to participate in this political contest at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" Seeing that things were not good, Pingzhang Political Affairs Ahma hurriedly jumped out to help the Mongolian officials. The gang has been operating against the Han officials for so long, and if Zhang Hongfan finally takes over the military power, it will be equivalent to a power struggle of several months, which will completely end in the victory of the Han officials. This kind of thing was not only not allowed by the Mongol ministers, but also by the ministers of Ahma and other colors.

Liu Shen missed the fighter plane and framed his colleagues. Your Majesty is merciful, and does not pursue his sins, and his ministers have nothing to say. However, His Majesty asked Han Chen to lead heavy troops with the eyes of the ministers, which was tantamount to showing His Majesty that Liu Shen's generation was innocent and meritorious. With such an unknown reward and punishment, who would dare to serve His Majesty. Even those Mongol soldiers who have died in battle will not appease their resentment over this matter in the Kingdom of Heaven! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the rewards and punishments are unknown!"

"The rewards and punishments are unknown, and the ministers are not satisfied!"

"The Han people are cowardly and disloyal, don't let them lead the army!" Several Mongolian and Semu ministers came out one after another and protested loudly.

"Hmm!" The gentle cough of Hututmur, the political affairs of Pingzhang, suppressed the chaotic protests of the crowd. He could already see the unhappiness on Kublai Khan's face. The wise and martial majesty on the dragon chair likes the order and etiquette advocated by the Han people, and such chaos in the court really swept his head.

"Your Majesty, colleagues. The minister thought that this matter needed to be considered in the long run. Ancient heroes said that leading troops to fight is a major matter related to the life and death of soldiers and the survival of the country, so you can't be cautious! Hututmur said with a smile as he motioned to the ministers of Mongolia and Semu to pay attention to the image with his eyes.

According to the Great Yuan official system, the right prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and under the left and right prime ministers, the highest official positions are the four Pingzhang. At present, the right prime minister Boyan and the left prime minister Dong Wenshan are not speaking, and Hututemur and Ahma are the highest-ranking ministers who have come out to raise objections, and everyone is the only one who looks to him. (Drunkard's note: Yuan system, under the left and right prime ministers are flat chapters, and under the flat chapters, they are under the left and right jurisdictions, also known as the left and right ministers, and only one less "phase" word than the left and right prime ministers.) Read the history of the Yuan, the end of this head is big)

“…… And the practice of our dynasty is that the soldiers and horses on the side of the governor are designated as Mongols. The Han people and the Semu people can only be supplemented, not the main ones. This matter is not about rewards and punishments, but about the ancestral system, and the difference between Mongolia and Han! ”

Huttutumor quoted the scriptures, and then added what he thought was the most important reason. As soon as the words fell, Dong Wenshan stood up with a smile. Walking up to Hututmur, Shi Li, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Lord Pingzhang thinks that my Han people are not His Majesty's people?" ”

"No, but Mongolia, Semu, Han, Nansi, etc., are customized by our dynasty. Don't be superior to those who are lower, but those who are above are driven by those who are lower! Hututmur was stunned and replied in a hearty manner.

Dong Wenshan's face instantly turned pale, took a step back, and stopped talking. The Mongolian ministers thought they had a plan, and they only listened to "Bang!" With a bang, Kublai Khan took the case, "Hutut Mur Hugh is talking nonsense, the hero of the world, with his ability, I don't care about his background!" Besides, the talents of Jiuba are all natural, how can they be compared with ordinary Han people? Hongfan, you come forward! ”

"The minister is here!" Standing in the queue of generals, Zhang Hongfan Tie, who had endured for a long time, stepped forward with a blue face and knelt down. His rank and position cannot be compared with everyone else, so he is not qualified to defend himself. But what happened just now strengthened his determination to make meritorious contributions as soon as possible, prove his loyalty and ability, and wash away the shame that everyone had inflicted on Hanchen.

"Take my golden knife and put it on for Jiubadu!" Kublai Khan didn't look at the Mongolian ministers, walked down the imperial steps, and helped Zhang Hongfan up from the ground, "You and other heroes, I have always regarded me as a brother. This time, we should focus on the overall situation. Don't learn from those short-sighted people and put the rank on the lips. Heaven and earth are heroic, and heroes don't ask about their origins. This knife was used when I conquered the world, and it has beheaded countless generals, and it is now given to you. If any of the generals in the south of the Yangtze River disobey the order, the nine pulls will be beheaded by me. There are those who neglect the military plane above the court and destroy the overall situation of the Song Dynasty, and I will be beheaded by Jiuba. Our dynasty has been fighting with the Song Dynasty for decades, and the Song Dynasty is destroyed in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang Hongfan took the knife and fell to the ground with an ordinary sound. This kindness of knowing him was so moved that he was speechless. "Knock, knock, knock" kowtowed a few times, raised his bloody forehead, and swore loudly: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, this time he will not destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not return to the army!" ”

Above the entire court, the blood boiled in an instant. The generals naturally remembered the time when they were young and made contributions on the battlefield, and the civil officials were also infected by the iron and blood, and they didn't dare to speak more, but they didn't care about the overall situation.

Ahmad shrugged his shoulders and retreated helplessly.

Hututmur looked at Boyan and Kublai Khan, shook his head angrily, and retracted from the ranks of Wenchen. One hundred and twenty were not convinced by Kublai Khan's decision.

In late spring and March, it is already the season of mixed peanut trees in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is the best season of the year for the capital city located in the north. Boyan rode his horse with a smile and walked slowly along Suzaku Street. The green willows on both sides of the street, and the peach blossoms sticking out of the walls of large households, all give people a pleasing feeling. For Boyan, who is proficient in Sinology, this kind of scenery can just be used for poetry and painting.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the Pingzhang Governor Hututmur hurried up with a few guards. Soon after the establishment of the Great Yuan, the heroic spirit of the steppe people had not yet been released, and the Mongolian ministers rode horses to the court. The lower court scattered in a hurry, leaving the Han and Semu ministers in a sedan chair far behind.

Boyan slowly pulled the reins and waited on the side of the road. In the early days, when Kublai Khan announced the appointment of Zhang Hongfan, the ministers of Mongolia and Semu opposed it in unison, and only he said nothing. Boyan knew that the Mongol ministers such as Hututmur, Baturuddin, Ishtemur, and Itchechara would not let him go.

"Kid from the Bahrain Ministry, why don't you speak in the court today!" Hutut Mu'er grabbed Boyan's horse's head and asked angrily. He and Boyan are old friends, and they are used to joking with each other, so when they speak, they are never polite.

"Could it be that there is a better candidate for the foolish brother?" Boyan smiled and asked as he walked alongside Hututmur. Confused was the nickname he gave to Hututmur based on the transliteration of the Han Chinese, and after Hututmur's repeated protests were ineffective, he had to let it go. Fortunately, Pingzhang political affairs are already a huge official position, and in the entire capital, there are less than ten people who dare to call Tutmur a foolish adult.

The guards spread out forward or backward to avoid disturbing the adults' conversations. Hearing Boyan's rhetorical question, the confused adult was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that my dignified Mongolian hero, in this generation, is not as good as a boy from the Han family!" ”

"Ah Rahan is brutal, he goes to destroy the Song Dynasty, and he will only destroy Jiangnan into a white land. Timur is impatient, and he may not be Zhang Shijie's opponent. Saiyin Deqi was far away in Yunnan, and it was too late to adjust it. Da Chun lost His Majesty's favor, and Brother Confused asked me to find someone! Boyan shook his head and replied unhurriedly.

"But, but that can't let the Han people lead an army of 500,000, once they have two hearts, won't the world be in chaos!" Hututmur was stunned and exclaimed unconvinced. He knew that what Boyan said was reasonable, but the matter of selecting the commander involved the power struggle between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, and he couldn't help but worry about it.

"No, it is precisely because of the large number of soldiers that it is necessary to choose a Han person. Your Majesty's wisdom, how can you and I reach it! Boyan smiled slightly and didn't say more. provoked Hututmur to scratch his ears and cheeks, and turned around on the horseback several times before he had to give a deep salute, and said in a low voice: "Boyan, do you mean that Your Majesty has arranged it like this, and there is another mystery, not that Dong Da has been deceived!" ”

Boyan shook his head and chuckled: "Brother Fool also thinks too highly of Dong Da, although he is resourceful, he never dares to be tempted by the emperor. This is also the outstanding point of Dong Da, where the emperor values Dong Da the most. As for why His Majesty arranged it this way, Brother Hutu thought, what is the most needed to command 500,000 troops? ”

"Of course, it's a loyal word!" Hututmur replied loudly, not like a nickname, really confused.

"People's hearts are separated from their bellies, how can you guarantee that the general who leads the troops must be loyal?"

"This?" Hututmur couldn't answer. Originally, I wanted to say that as long as they were Mongols, they would definitely be loyal, and the Han and Semu people would definitely be treacherous. But if you think about it carefully, for several years in a row, it was the Mongols who rose up outside the Seychelles. On the contrary, the Han army became the main force of the Gongwei Imperial Court. I couldn't say anything about ethnic discrimination, and my face slowly turned black and red.

"Actually, what Your Majesty cares about is not whether the general who leads the troops is loyal to him, but whether the person who leads the troops has a chance of disloyalty!" Boyan pointed ahead with a horsewhip and analyzed in a low voice: "Brother foolish, please think, if it is a Mongolian general who goes south this time, and he takes advantage of the situation to cause chaos, how will the remnant Song Dynasty respond, how will the princes outside the Saiwai Dynasty deal with it, and how will the soldiers under his command deal with it!" ”

"Of course, the remnant Song will join forces with him, and the gang of turtle bastards outside the fortress will naturally raise troops to contain us in the rear, so that the army will not dare to go south to quell the rebellion. And the soldiers under his command, the Mongols may not all follow him, Tanma Red Army, Han Army and New Annexed Army, these fools have always only seen the generals of the army, regardless of black and white, this ....... Alas, why didn't you say it earlier! Hututmur finally understood a little bit of the taste, and regretted it in his heart.

If Zhang Hongfan dared to support his own troops, the Mongol army and the Tanma Red Army might not be willing to follow him, and the remnant Song Dynasty would definitely take the opportunity to crusade against him, and the kings outside the Saiwai would not show support for a Han Chinese. When the time comes, Dayuan will strike with all his strength, and the rebellion can be put down in an instant. Therefore, regardless of whether Zhang Hongfan's loyalty to the imperial court is true or not, he has no conditions for rebellion.

With a change of Mongolian general, all the disadvantages are reversed. The remnants of the Song Dynasty would negotiate peace with him and join forces against the north. The Mongol army and the Tanma Red army will be deceived by him, and the new annexed army and the Han army will be encircled by him. The restless forces outside the plug will also take the opportunity to get involved. Therefore, the one who led the heavy troops to pacify the remnants of the Song Dynasty must be a Han Chinese.

Only the Han people have no chance to support their own troops like the kings of the northwest.

Zhang Hongfan has made a lot of achievements in war, and is known as a soldier. The only flaw was that the generals could not be convinced, and Kublai Khan's golden sword made up for this flaw just right.
