Although the ruler is Mongolian, but for the number of more than 500,000 Han people in the city, the New Year is their most important festival, with the development of more than ten years, this custom has gradually become a rule, if it is an ordinary period, the imperial court will also give rewards, officials have vacations, yamen seals, etc., but now it is very timely, so the lights in the Dade Hall will often be bright all night, but there is no trace of music and dance. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

On the wide hall, there are only a few dozen people, they are the same as the court, sitting in columns, Hanchen is on the left, Mongolian Semu and others are on the right, the distinction is clear, everyone in front of the seat is on the low table with wine and food to eat, it doesn't look like a court meeting, it is almost the same as a banquet, but their faces are not all happy, they either bow their heads to eat, or sit solemnly, silently listening to a low voice echoing in their ears.

“...... For this war, there were additional taxes in various places, and some places even taxed them to the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the suffering of the people's livelihood was already unspeakable. If you can't return to your hometown in time, next year's harvest will become a big problem, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the imperial court will not only not be able to give enough, but also prepare for famine or even famine. ”

The man who spoke was an old man, very far from the front, and he was not facing a group of ministers but a young man among the chiefs, dressed in traditional Mongolian clothes, wearing a cloud crown and a felt robe, with a focused expression, and in his hand he was not holding a meat knife, but a pair of shiny silver.

"Yan's Youyun: The ancients wanted to know the difficulties of the crops, and the way of the Si Gai Guigu is also, the husband's food is the people's heaven, the people do not eat and do not live, and the father and son cannot coexist. Now that the holy monarch is in charge, when he is still heavy on agriculture, His Majesty entrusts the prince with state affairs, which shows trust, if the south of the Yangtze River is undecided and the north of the Yangtze River is in chaos, is it the blessing of the community? "The old minister still hasn't said a word, how does this situation make the Great Khan view you, the appointed successor, the so-called prison of the country, is not a test of governance ability.

"But if you don't give more, where will the military rations come from?" Zhenjin listened carefully, but his eyebrows were full of worry.

"It is not easy to work for a long way, a stone of corn is transported to Henan from Dadu, and the foot strength is only 30%, so it is calculated that it is difficult to supply millions of people, and it is difficult to lift the power of the country. Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, the spies have already had a secret report, last year was a bumper year, even if you can't do all the food to the enemy, it will not be too far away, Ali Hague Pingzhang slightly set Jinghu, which is enough to support the use of two roads, tower out of the prime minister to capture Huaixi, can also slightly ease the difficulty of Henan, all parts of Zhongshu Province, especially Shandong, must not be added again, otherwise the side of the heart will be born, it will endanger the fundamental. ”

His words did not let Zhenjin let go of his worries, the truth is such a truth, the problem has not been solved, in addition to these three roads, not to mention, instigated more than 100,000 people in the navy, almost all of them have to rely on Zhongshu Province as if it is Shandong supply, and Jinghu and Huaixi, Huaidong can not find a grain of grain, which caused the old minister to say again and again, the young man knows very well in his heart, some places in his words are just obscure words, in fact, it refers to the whole territory of Shandong, said so much, in fact, there is one meaning, Shandong has reached the brink of danger and cannot be added any more.

But if you don't add Shandong, you have to transport it from Hebei or even Dadu, and a stone of grain will be eaten seventy percent on the way, what is the difference between this and giving it away for nothing? Although the consumption is huge, if it can really be delivered, but just more than 20 days ago, the news from Henan and Shandong respectively reported that the grain that had been requisitioned from the people two years in advance had disappeared, so that the already prominent contradictions became more sharply taxed, which made this young man who was in charge of the edict feel extremely stressed.

Thinking of this, Zhenjin's gaze turned to the right, and stayed on a chubby official, the man ignored his head and ate heavily, and didn't pay attention to it at all, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and when he turned around, the old minister shook his head slightly silently, indicating that he couldn't move.

When the problem arises, it will be solved, the front line will run out of food, and the battle will not be able to continue, but the word 'retreat', not only these ministers present do not dare to mention it, but he himself does not have the slightest idea, and the only one who can make a decision is the 'holy monarch' who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

From a bystander to a decision-maker, such an identity change, for Zhenjin, who has only been a few months, obviously has not yet adapted, he did not even follow Ava's instructions, sat on the imperial couch behind him, and was still as usual, discussing politics under the seat a few steps higher than the ministers, of course, there will definitely be the instructions of the Han ministers, the king's heart is unpredictable, and there is no father and son in the heavenly family, he listens more, and the more cautious he will be.

Talking about things is equivalent to stuck, in addition to ordering people to pass the news to the front line in Jiangnan, all they can do is wait, calculate the days, at this moment the messenger is afraid that he has not yet crossed Henan, they can wait, how can the soldiers on the front line afford to wait, thinking of the situation they may face, where can Zhenjin and these Hanchen still eat, the hall was surprisingly quiet, until a palace man came to him and said something in his ear.

Zhenjin stood up and explained to the ministers in the hall, and followed the palace man to the direction of the apse, the old minister and the few Hanchen in front looked at his expression, although there was no obvious change, but obviously, I am afraid that it is not a good thing.

The apse was not far away, and Zhenjin saw the figure of his mother at a glance, which was very unusual, because she must have known that she was dealing with state affairs with her courtiers, and she would never come out and interrupt for no reason, he changed to Mongolian and asked, and sure enough, he saw that Chabi's face was a little anxious.

"Eji, call me, but what's wrong?"

"Kudu Lujian was lost and sent a letter, something happened to her." Without any nonsense, Chabi took out a letter and handed it to him.

The letter was written in a crooked Mongolian script in the newly created 'Paspa' script, and Zhenjin read it quickly, and when he read it, he immediately understood why the letter was delivered to his mother instead of through formal means.

Kudu Lujian was lost as the queen of Pyongjang and Wang Hu, the king of Goryeo, and his younger sister, and even the actual ruler of Goryeo, the official documents of the normal way are only afraid that her family letter is not useful, and the content of the letter is not complicated, a group of pirates have appeared frequently in Goryeo recently, and the coast has almost been invaded, and there is a tendency to gradually spread to the interior.

Of course, if it was just an ordinary bandit, it was not worth her complaining to her mother's family, the problem was that this group of pirates was too strong, and they were all cavalry, and they were not horse bandits, they were all authentic Mongolian cavalry!

Zhenjin could think with his eyes closed, a group of Mongolian cavalry in Goryeo, which can be called a vassal country of the Yuan people, is almost unimpeded, and no Goryeo garrison will dare to offend them, they not only loot food and property, but even the population will not let go, if it is not that the matter has reached the point where it is difficult to clean up, how can a woman use such a way to report the situation to him.

Looking at his son's frowning eyebrows, Chabi did not urge him, although he ignored political affairs, someone would naturally inform her of the news ahead, Shandong military rations were robbed, and the front-line military supplies were tight, all of which were great military events.

"Isn't it strange that the cavalry in Goryeo can still be seduced by pirates?" Zhenjin's question was at the core, and Chabi just nodded, not intending to answer.

"I understand, they are flowing from Liaodong, and most of them are the remnants of Naiyan." After a while, he guessed the answer himself.

A smile appeared on Chabi's face, and his eyes were full of encouragement: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Goryeo and my Dayuan are one, this campaign, they went out to the ship, and now they are in trouble, we can't sit idly by, I will order the book province to go to Liaoyang, and instruct Atahai to march quickly and join the Goryeo Navy to exterminate this traitor."

After speaking, he glanced at Cha Bi, and was a little unsure whether his disposal was appropriate, Cha Bi smiled and patted his hand: "You did it right, but one thing to pay attention to, Atahai is a general, so you might as well be tactful in terms of wording." ”

"Thank you Eji for your advice." Zhenjin understood as soon as he heard it, Atahai's hands were in his hands with 200,000 soldiers and horses, and looking at the entire Jiangbei can be called the most powerful military group, he was still different from his father, and he couldn't be taken for granted as an ordinary subordinate.

When Zhenjin said goodbye to her and returned to the front hall, her footsteps were a little confident, and her expression was a lot more relaxed, those Hanchen looked a little unclear, but this kind of change was what they were happy to see, just when Zhenjin was about to inform the ministers of Goryeo, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from outside the palace, and the king of the inner province stumbled into the main hall and knelt down in front of his seat.

"Your Highness, Shandong is six hundred miles urgent, and the military department has just received it."

"Bring people with them wherever they are."

When they heard the word 'Shandong', all the people in the hall stopped moving, and the real gold who had not yet sat on it lost his previous calmness, and asked one after another, Wang Duzhi immediately brought in an official of the military department who was waiting outside the hall, and the man was holding a rectangular box in his hand, wrapped in red cloth outside, which was the highest-ranking horse express, representing the meaning of the military situation like fire.

Something happened in Shandong, whether the matter was related to the robbery of military rations, the ministers were secretly speculating, everyone's eyes were on the package, which was sent to the hands of real gold, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, opened the package three times and two times, opened the square box inside, and a document lay quietly inside.

He picked it up and looked at the payment, the document came from the Jinan Road Governor's Office, Zhenjin didn't care about cutting with a knife, and directly tore open the seal with his hand, there was only a thin page inside, but he saw that his heart was beating, and even his breathing was much shorter.

"Your Highness." Several Hanchen waited for him to finish reading, and immediately urged, since it was an urgent military situation, they had to buy time, and they couldn't care about it that much.

"Yan Zhonghu, the governor of Jinan Road, came to report that the Han army of Yidu mutinied, they captured the city, and the whereabouts of Sajith and others were unknown." Zhenjin summed up briefly and handed them the paperwork in his hand.

This news immediately caused a discussion in the hall, and several Hanchen read the document, with puzzled expressions on their faces, which is equivalent to only saying a result, and the process was not mentioned at all, and it can only be judged that the writer himself did not know at the time, but from the results that have been determined, the problem in Shandong is already very serious.

The turmoil more than ten years ago, most of the people here have personally experienced, Li Pu entered Jinan Mansion from Yidu, and at the same time the Song people who were summoned by him entered Henan, and even captured Xuzhou for a time, and their Great Khan faced more than this direction, Ali Buge occupied Helin, was elected as the Mongolian Khan at the Kuritai Conference, and almost all the princes fell to him, and the situation is not enough to describe with precariousness.

However, the Han people in the north chose loyalty at this critical time, they joined forces to suppress the rebellion in Shandong, repelled the attack of the Song people, and then as the main force, drove Ali Buge to Mobei, under the general trend, the princes on the grassland turned against each other, which made the huge empire return to the hands of Kublai Khan, and the latter's reward was to cut off all the military power of the Han people, which was of course more conducive to his rule, but the question is, if there is another chaos like Li Pu, what will they use to suppress it?

"Things haven't come to that point yet, we must not mess up, which part of the mutiny is it, and how many people are involved? are all unknown, the old minister thought that he should immediately go to Jinan Road, and ordered the officer to lead the left near the state capital, gather soldiers and horses, and wait for the opportunity to move, as long as the chaos does not come out of Yidu Road, there is still something to do. ”

Yao Shu's words immediately resonated with most of the people in the hall, they know how many soldiers and horses there are in Shandong, even if the soldiers and horses of Yidu are involved, it is only in the early 10,000s, and it is not worth hurting too many brains, and this incident is an opportunity, so that they have every reason to mobilize the instigation of Huaidong to return to the division, thus solving the two major problems in one fell swoop.

"The old minister drew up a will and sent it out overnight." Yao Shu said just do it, and immediately prepared to withdraw from the main hall, in the opposite direction to him, Wang Duzhi ran in in a hurry again, and when he saw the other party's eroticism, he immediately stopped.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of War has an urgent document delivered."

"Call up."

Zhenjin waved his hand again and again, and the person involuntarily walked down the steps, his eyes fixed on the subordinate of the soldier who was led into the main hall.

"What's the matter, report it quickly." This time, he didn't even bother to open the paperwork again, anyway, these things passed through their hands before they were sent, and he must have known what was written inside.

"Zilai Road came to report, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Jiao, Laiyang, Qixia counties have banditry, small more than 100 people, more than 1,000 people, they come and go like the wind, rampant in the township, all played an anti-flag, the local dare not be arbitrary, please ask the court to decide."

"What?" It's Shandong again, and Zhenjin was suddenly annoyed: "This kind of banditry, why don't you directly submit it to the Taoist Division......"

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that Yidu City had been lost, and even if the Shandong divisions could escape, where would they go to find it? There is no way for people to report directly to the capital.

"I'm afraid something is wrong." Yao Shu didn't know when he had returned to the hall, and took the document from the official's hand, the content in it was not much different from what he described, but Yao Shu thought deeper.

"Look at the above days, when the document was issued, it was the moment when Yidu became chaotic, could there be any hidden meaning in this?"

His question is also the idea of most of the courtiers in the palace, there are many bandits in Shandong but it is not a climate, why did he suddenly choose this day to carry out large-scale activities, the reason is very puzzling, and before they can figure out a clue, Wang Duzhi came to the palace again.

"Your Highness, here we go again." He didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear that the prince would be angry with him, wondering if he didn't go out today and didn't look at the yellow calendar, how could the unlucky messenger let himself run into it.

"Stay at the door of the temple, and if anyone comes again, you don't need to ask for it, just bring it directly." Jinjin didn't even have the heart to get angry, and kicked him out.

Unexpectedly, the bad news seemed to be contagious, and batch after batch of local documents were sent into the palace by messengers, all of whom came from Shandong without exception.

"Mu Ping and Wendeng in Ninghai Prefecture found traces of bandits."

"Jiaozhou's Gaomi, Jiaoxi, and Jimo bandit activities are rampant! Several large families were ransacked. ”

"Zhucheng in Mizhou, Juxian in Juzhou, and Rizhao all have large groups of people and horses active."

"Traces of thieves suddenly appeared on Dongping Road, and the number is unknown."

"There is serious banditry everywhere on Jining Road, and several county towns have been surrounded."

......

After hearing this, Zhenjin and the ministers in the palace became a little numb, and all the news was added together, which can be summarized in four words...... Shandong chaos!

Can't wait any longer, Yao Shu and the others immediately understood, this is not a simple matter, no matter who is planning behind it, it is aimed at the entire Shandong Dao, and now the only way is to instigate the capital army to return to the division, and it cannot be delayed for a moment.

However, Wang Duzhi's bad luck did not seem to have bottomed out, and he trembled and brought an official in, who turned out to be Dong Wenyong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Yancai, where is the accident in Shandong?" Yao Shu didn't wait for Zhen Jin to get angry, and hurriedly shouted his word and asked.

"Shandong?" Dong Wenyong didn't understand a little, he took out a document in his hand and looked at it: "Hejian Mansion is urgent, the minister did not open the seal, and directly sent it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for personal inspection." ”

Hearing that it was not Shandong, Zhenjin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, took the document and opened it, shook out the letter inside, and only then did he look at the beginning, his face became pale, Yao Shu and others saw this, and they didn't care about etiquette, so they stepped forward and looked at it with his hand, after reading it, everyone's faces were the same as him, the news on the letter paper was not long, but the content was amazing.

All the states and counties on Jinan Road fell, and the governor Yan Zhonghu was defeated and captured, and that's it, according to the reports of the people and spies who fled there, it was not the rebel banner that rose at the head of the city, but the banner of the Song people and the Jingdong Xuanfu envoy.

In other words, the power of the Song people has spread to the entire territory of Shandong, and they are only one step away from the capital!

What to do? Zhenjin suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Yao Shu and a few Hanchen were close and hugged him.

"It's urgent, the previous discussion is no longer feasible, the only way to do this is to quickly mobilize the Atahai Pingzhang Department of Liaoyang Province to help, no, that's too slow." Yao Shu didn't finish saying no: "Let them get on the ship from Liaodong, let the Goryeo sailors assist, and transport all of them to Shandong." ”

"What about most of them?" After relieving his mind, Zhenjin thought of a different question.

"The elite soldiers in the city are complete, not afraid of the Song people, the only people who are worried about the Hebei provinces, you may wish to send an order to the state capitals, the big families of the Xu Hao clan to practice bravery, according to the city to defend, in order to consume its edge, if the Song people really invade the north, it is okay, I am afraid that they are only afraid that they are in Shandong, so it is necessary to have Atahai Pingzhang to march quickly."

Zhenjin was analyzed by him like this, only to come back to his senses, Hebei is the place where the Yuan people rule the most solid, and the people's hearts will never fall over, but Shandong is not, the high-pressure policy there has already aroused everyone's thinking, I have to say that the Song people really picked a good time, which means that the army of the instigation capital is only afraid that it has been defeated.

"Just as you say, send it out quickly."

When the main hall was empty, he woke up, what should Liaodong do if Atahai walked like this? What about Goryeo.
