Chapter 339: Discuss important matters

"What Jia Ye said is that his subordinates know it."

"It's just Vice General Miao, we still have three months, months, as soon as these three months pass, the Yuan army will attack the Southern Song Dynasty, four million people, and it is estimated that there will be absolutely no one left who will be killed within a month.

Speaking of sadness, Jia Rudao suddenly cried, he was not sad about Da Song, but also sad about himself, worried about his life.

"Master Jia, in my opinion.... In my opinion, let's go find Song Qing, this person may have the talent to lead troops, and at the same time have appeal, as long as we have him, maybe we can defeat the Yuan army.

Jia Rudao shook his head, looking for Song Qing? The current situation is that it is impossible to find Yue Fei, it is so serious.

"Okay, Vice General Miao, not to mention whether we can find Song Qing, even if we find it, what can we do? Do you think he can fight 10 million people alone?"

"Wake up, it's not going to work now, it's better to rely on yourself than this, go, I'll take the soldiers and recruit soldiers on the street, one tael of silver is too little, it's okay, Jia Ye, I'll give them two taels."

"If two or two doesn't work, three or two will not work, then four or two will be four or two, anyway, it is the imperial court, and it is Song Duzong who spends money.

The two of them walked out of the hall, gathered all the soldiers outside the house, and strode out.

The crowd soon came to the street, and at the request of Jia Rudao, they gathered the people in the vicinity, and soon gathered hundreds of people.

Jia Rudao said loudly: "Folks, now that the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, the Yuan army Kublai Khan is about to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and attack Lin'an, and it is an imminent time.

Someone nearby was scolding, "I usually treat the people as dogs, but now I have to ask the people for help when something happens, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are really not a thing, they will be punished." ”

Someone next to him chimed in, "Isn't it, my neighbor was seriously injured because he was talking a little louder on the street, and he died not long ago, who do you say you are going to reason with?"

The whispers on the side continued, Jia Rudao didn't hear it, he continued to say: "Folks, although you have opinions about the Great Song Dynasty, but it has come to the time for the survival of the country, can you let go of your prejudices, and then we will protect the country together?" They don't speak, they don't have any anger in their hearts, it's already like this, who will protect the country and protect the people? What kind of people have been bullied.

Someone scolded and left to protect the Great Song? They are not so stupid, what qualifications does such a people have to protect him? It's just a joke.

Jia Nidao continued: "Folks, this official is the prime minister of the dynasty Jia Nidao, if you are willing, you can come to this official to join the army, and then this official will give you a fortune, which is two taels of silver in a month, how about it?"

These people are all poor, and everyone is having a hard time, but they won't protect this corrupt court for these two taels of silver? Dream on. Everyone left quickly, and they didn't want to stay at all, Jia Rudao was anxious in his eyes and embarrassed.

He roared, and his anger grew bigger and bigger, "Vice General Miao, look at these people, they are really bold, they are so bold, you just don't give Jia Ye me a little face, and you don't even give the face of the court, how can you say this is good?" This one.... Jia Ye, why don't we wait for coercion and temptation? There's no other way, this thing.... What do you say about this?"

Jia Rudao shook his head, this matter is not good at all, it will not work at all, how many people are there under him? Even if a group of people are forcibly arrested, who can guarantee that they can be controlled?

What if there is a mutiny a day later? Who will suppress it then?

He was so angry that he simply couldn't see it and was not upset, so he planned to change places and continue to recruit people, 10 million people, and he had to recruit enough.

At this moment, in the city of Suzhou, the ranks of the Yuan army are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Han people choose to join, so that they can also fill the stomachs of the family, which is very, very good. These Han people, at this moment, have completely regarded themselves as the people of the Yuan Dynasty and the people of Kublai Khan, as for the Southern Song Dynasty, it is okay not to mention it, not to mention it.

They even dragged their families to join the army, vowing to take down the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop and return the people of the world to a peaceful day.

In the Yamen of Suzhou City, since Kublai Khan brought people here, the security here has been significantly better, and even the petty theft on the street has decreased a lot, all of which are due to Kublai Khan.

Inside the yamen, Nurhachi stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Hui Great Khan, recently the Southern Song Dynasty, especially the imperial court, they have been recruiting troops, what do you say about this matter?" Shall I plan to attack immediately?"

"Recruitment? In the Southern Song Dynasty, how could anyone go to participate? It's not that I don't look down on them, Nurhachi, take this Suzhou as an example, do you think these people are better to be the people of the Yuan Dynasty or the people of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Nurhachi didn't think about it, "Hui Da Khan, naturally he is the people of my Yuan Dynasty, almost the entire Southern Song Dynasty has been disgusted with the Southern Song Dynasty, and my Yuan Dynasty is thousands of times stronger than them." ”

"Also, the main reason why the people in this city love my Yuan Dynasty so much is actually because Jia Yidao, this person has offended almost all the people in the city, and he is still in power, no, this gives me a chance for the Yuan Dynasty.

"Great Khan, if it weren't for Jia Nidao, I'm afraid these people wouldn't be so disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Jia Nidao, I'm afraid we wouldn't necessarily have the lead, it can be said that this person is the first hero of my Yuan Dynasty to occupy the Southern Song Dynasty."

Kublai Khan felt that this was the case, and he still valued Jia Yidao a little, but this person was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty after all, and it seemed to be a little difficult to completely integrate into the Yuan Dynasty. "Nurhachi, I have promised Jia Yidao and the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty that I will not continue to attack within these three months, and we can't ask for this 10 million silver in vain, don't you say?"

"It's the Great Khan."

"Well, in addition to continuing to recruit soldiers in these three months, I must also continue to keep an eye on Lin'an to see if they have any other moves, if they dare to take the lead in attacking, my Yuan Dynasty will not sit still.

"Knowing the Great Khan, we must pay attention to the situation in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Well, at this time, it is best to let the soldiers not go to Suzhou City to kill innocents, especially when the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet perished, in that case, we will be very passive, and the people may turn against the water."

"Yes, the subordinates must sternly admonish the soldiers."

At this moment, in Lin'an City, Jia Nidao's people are constantly recruiting people on the street, but it's a pity that the common people don't give face, no matter how much money they promise to give in January, they just don't join the army, and no one can come.

Jia Rudao had already known that there would be such a scene, and he had no way to solve this matter at the moment, so he could only go to Xuande Hall to find Empress Dowager Xie, as for Song Duzong, he was completely mediocre.

Walking on the way to the palace, Jia Rudao soon came to the palace, and then found the Empress Dowager Xie. Meet at a gazebo.

"Jia Aiqing, didn't you go looking for Song Qing? Why are you here at this moment?" Empress Dowager Xie was confused.

"This... Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen has already arranged for his subordinates to find someone, and besides, there is no need to send a large number of people to the army, right? There is no need for it at all, in case Song Qing knows, wouldn't he mistakenly think that the imperial court was going to kill him?"

Empress Dowager Xie felt reasonable, and she didn't say anything at the moment, this is the case. But when she thought of the current situation in Da Song, she began to worry again, after all, sitting in this position, it was obviously impossible not to worry about this country.

"Jia Aiqing, let's talk about it, tell me what Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty is like now? What have they been doing in Suzhou lately? Hey, I don't dare to take it lightly now. ”

Jia Yidao was silent for a while, "Hui Empress Dowager, Kublai Khan has not made any other moves at present, they have been stationed in Suzhou City so far, and they have no intention of attacking at all, but there are many people who have already been ambushed in the Great Song Dynasty, once Kublai Khan gives an order, they will fight back on all fronts."

"Queen Mother, everyone knows that the Great Song Dynasty has reached the most dangerous time now, and it seems to be calm now, but if Kublai Khan is intentional, he can destroy us within a year."

"Hey, now the Southern Song Dynasty has no other way than to recruit more people, Queen Mother, how can you say this is good?"

Empress Dowager Xie didn't know what to do, she didn't know, she didn't even know at all, now the whole person is confused, top-heavy, and almost walking can fall. "Jia Aiqing, look at the people in the imperial court, this group of civil and military officials, which of them can be as heartfelt as Jia Aiqing? Hey, these people are really taking the court's money for nothing, and they enjoy everything the court gave them in vain.

"Once it comes to this most dangerous time, the resignation of the resigned, not even a greeting, the mourning family is really blind, if the Southern Song Dynasty can defeat Kublai Khan, the mourning family vows to rectify the officialdom and punish them severely."

The more Empress Dowager Xie spoke, the more angry she became, shaking her head and sighing from time to time, it was obvious that she had had enough of these days of worry.

But what's the solution? At this moment, what can she do except continue to bear it?

"Queen Mother, in fact, you don't have to be overly sad, the Southern Song Dynasty has God's blessing, God's protection, and Buddha's blessing, in fact, there is nothing else, it all goes naturally.

"But that doesn't mean we can take it lightly, 10 million people cross the border, if we don't have a strong army with equal numbers, I'm afraid we will be like dogs and defeated at that time."

This sentence said to the Empress Dowager Xie's heart, she was dripping blood at the moment, she thought to herself, how good it would be if she was not the queen mother, how good would it be if she didn't live in the palace? As for the major events in this world, let others participate.

"Prime Minister Jia, the mourning family wants to ask you, have you recruited soldiers on the street recently? 10,000 a day is probably no problem.

Jia Rudao smiled bitterly, 10,000 a day, there are not so many people in a year, the common people are already disappointed in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to do it.

Even he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that the Queen Mother would not be able to bear it.

"Queen Mother, Wechen has indeed been recruiting soldiers recently, but as for how many people are recruited, in fact, Wechen doesn't know, but the Queen Mother can rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, we will defend Lin'an City to the death."

In this sentence, Jia Rudao's confidence is very insufficient, he is just comforting people, just like that, the Great Song Dynasty can't resist the Yuan Dynasty at all.

Empress Dowager Xie finally relaxed, this is the case, three million people are defending Lin'an, as long as Lin'an is undefeated, there will be a chance to counterattack in the future.

No matter how powerful he Kublai Khan is, he can't climb into the city wall tens of meters high.

"Jia Aiqing, for now, I will do what you said, anyway, no one in this Lin'an City is allowed to enter, especially Kublai Khan, this person is a wolf."

"Also, we had better prepare enough food for now, especially the rations for these 30 million people, at least for more than three years, so that even if he Kublai Khan stays outside the city, we will not at least starve to death."

"And Jia Aiqing, in the past three years, the people of Lin'an City will at least fight back against them after Kublai Khan's attack, right? We must ensure that each person has a knife in their hands, and at least they will have the opportunity to fight for the same end."

Jia seemed to be gracious, he felt reasonable, this was one of the best ways, there was no better way.

"Queen Mother, after Weichen leaves, I hope to take 10,000 people from the barracks, after all, going out to collect grain, it will not work if there is not enough manpower.

"At the same time, we can't ask for food near Lin'an, at least three hundred miles away, at least after Kublai Khan's people come, they won't be able to get food nearby."

This idea, Empress Dowager Xie felt the same, Kublai Khan brought people here, they could not prepare enough food for a year, or even several years, the only thing was to cut off their supplies.

"Jia Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to you to handle the mourning family, as long as you can handle the matter well, my Great Song Dynasty will have the only hope, whether it is to buy from the people, or to use any other method, the mourning family wants you to raise enough food for 30 million people for two years within two months."

"It's the Queen Mother, Weichen knows."

"Also, when collecting food, try not to provoke the anger of the people, I can't stand the toss in the Southern Song Dynasty, don't say Kublai Khan, even if the people revolt privately, we are powerless to deal with it."

Jia seemed to answer, and he turned to leave.

Empress Dowager Xie sat slumped on the chair, and a maid stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager Qi, I don't know if I should say something."

"If you have something to say, just say it, it's time now, no matter whose opinion it is, the mourning family is willing to listen, as long as it is useful to the Southern Song Dynasty, we will support it."

The maid knelt on the ground and continued: "Back to the Queen Mother, the people have been circulating that Prime Minister Jia is a traitor and a corrupt official, and a few days ago, he killed several people on the street.

Empress Dowager Xie patted her chair and stood up, and began to roar, "Who are you listening to this?" How can you trust all the nonsense out there? This is the prime minister of the dynasty, he is already an official residence, do you think he will still be corrupt?"

The maid was frightened and kept kowtowing, "The Queen Mother forgives the sins, the Queen Mother forgives the sins, I also heard it from the outside, as for the truth and falsehood, I can't tell the truth, the Queen Mother, I don't know if it's true or false." ”

"I don't know if it's true or not? If you don't know if it's true or not, you dare to talk nonsense, and you still talk nonsense in front of the mourning family, and the mourning family asks you, are you guilty?"

"Queen Mother, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I hope the Queen Mother won't blame, I won't dare to talk nonsense in the future."

Empress Dowager Xie's anger dissipated somewhat, but the embers still didn't go away.
