Zhao Hao looked at Zhuang Gong with a bitter face and smiled, it was he who turned a righteous gentleman into a 'mercenary' villain and ruined his reputation. But he didn't think it was harmful, it is said that the election of officials is to select fair and honest people, but to be honest, this kind of person is no problem to engage in education, or write books and do learning. If you become an official, your career will be very difficult.

Zhao Yu is not alarmist in thinking so, there are many examples to follow in history, thinking that Hai Rui is a famous Qing official, and he has not met the master, not only is it rare to be reused, but he was also suppressed and excluded by his colleagues, and was finally exiled, and the evening was sad. is his own teacher Deng Guangzhuo, if he hadn't been behind to give him the platform and support, I am afraid that he would have been ousted from the stage a long time ago.

Of course, it can be said that Zhao Hao likes to appoint villains, but does not like gentlemen. Because he knows that the officialdom is dark and the world is complicated, and an official who is too old-fashioned and conformist cannot deal with it. Therefore, he needs an official who can keep his heart but can face the complex situation of the world, that is, he must be able to adhere to his principles and apply the rules flexibly.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has occupied half of the country, it is not only necessary to open up new land, but also to consolidate the interior. In order to have a stable backyard and stable power, it is necessary to suppress the conservative forces of the traditional noble clans that can influence the political situation, and to cultivate and establish a new bureaucratic system. He has been secretly arranging this work for a long time, consciously cultivating 'his own people', of course, not only limited to the military system.

The Zhuang brothers were the first old men to join the Shuai Mansion, and they were from Zhao Yu's fiefdom, so it should be said that they were naturally their own people. And he did not treat the Zhuang brothers badly, the eldest Zhuang Gongzhe joined the Military Aircraft Department as an assistant in Qiongzhou, and is now released as the prefect of Guangzhou; The second eldest Zhuang Siqi served in the army, and now he has also become the head of the first army guarding the town; The third child had no intention of pursuing a career in office, volunteered to protect the family ancestral hall, and moved back to his hometown after recovering Quanzhou; It's a pity that the fourth child died in Quanzhou in his early years, otherwise he would also be a fierce general.

The Zhuang family is famous in the Quanzhou area, but it is only a generation of cultivators, some people in the family have served as some small officials, but there has been no deacon, the influence is very limited, and the children of the Quanzhou Blood Night family have been martyred a lot. After that, their brothers joined the Shuai Mansion and left their hometown for many years, and the family had long since fallen. Zhao Yu raised them, how could he not let their brothers be grateful.

Zhuang Gongcong has followed Zhao Yu for many years, although the grade has only been mentioned in the past few years, but he has always been in the center, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. And when the next group of old ministers reached the age of Zhishi, it was the time of the update, and he wanted to take the opportunity to arrange them into the court. Let him negotiate with Ma Shao, not only to let him have a long experience, but also to make a contribution to him and pave the way for promotion. It's a pity that Zhuang Gong not only didn't appreciate this guy, but thought that he let him tear off Sven as a villain.

And this time, Zhuang Gong 'blackmailed' 3,000 horses from the hands of Tuhuan, but he did not take credit, but claimed that they were sent by Mengyuan Wanhu Zahuertai, which cannot be considered fake, but it is not so simple, for which the two sides also fought fiercely......

The matter still has to start with Yuxi Timur's bluff and pretending to be an army to aid Yangzhou, according to the habit of the Mengyuan marching army, the troops marching and fighting on the mainland do not carry baggage, but are provided by the prefectures and counties through which they pass. After the Song army captured Taizhou, due to the limitation of troops, it was unable to occupy all the counties under it, let alone control all the villages and towns, but only swept the Tuntian point of Mengyuan.

In order to be able to make a 100,000-strong army with one army, Zahuertai not only lengthened the marching procession, but also sent people to order the prefectures and counties along the route to prepare grain and grass according to the custom, and the necessary needs were sent down layer by layer to the villages and towns that had not yet been occupied and controlled by the Song army. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, the officials who control the grassroots level are forced to grab what they need, and they also have to make up what they need, so something goes wrong.

After the Mongols invaded the Central Plains and occupied Jiangnan, they began to implement the 'Ten Household Chief System'. The so-called "ten-household chief system" is to effectively control the grass-roots level, the Mengyuan court divided the common people of the Han nationality into ten small units according to their families, and each such small unit placed a Mongolian leader - the head of ten households, that is, the head of the ten households. The sole role of this leader is to supervise and direct the cultivation and all activities of these ten families, which means that all activities of these ten families are carried out under the domination of this Mongolian patriarch.

What is this policy all about? It is also different from the Central Plains Dynasty to implement the 'armor protection system', in addition to leading the cultivation and all activities of the ten households, the head of the ten households is also supported by the ten families to eat and drink, and is also managing the daily interpersonal communication, diet and daily life of the ten households, which is equivalent to the king of the ten households, that is to say, the head of the ten Mongolian households is a slave owner who can do whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, and is purely a slave owner riding on the head of the Han people.

This slave owner he doesn't care about the feelings of the people and life or death, the most incredible, the most inhumane, the most unacceptable is this "ten family heads", see which family's daughter is a little bit of a posture and forcibly rape, or take it for himself, which family marries a new daughter-in-law, you have to go into the cave room with him first, and the beautiful one has been reduced to ** for a long time. He imposed this kind of shame on the heads of every Han family, which is really an absurd and humiliating national humiliation.

The implementation of this policy, so that most of the women of the Han nationality born children are Mengyuan mongrel, and the children born to a small number of extremely ugly Han women have survived, over time, passed down from generation to generation, the Han nationality has almost all been reduced to Mengyuan hybrids in blood, and it can even be said that from the generation of hybrids to the development of several generations of hybrids, the people of the Han land can become Mongolians.

From today's point of view, the consequences of the bloodline reform caused by this absurd policy are very serious, and it has inspired the fighting spirit of the Han people to be strongly oppressed. Historically, it was this absurd and inhumane policy that pushed the vast Yuan Empire into the abyss of destruction. At the very least, it shows that the rule that is unpopular with the people will not last long, and at least the practice of only taking into account the interests of the ruling class will eventually sow the root of the country's destruction.

Of course, the current people can't see that far, but these mental, physical, and economic oppressions have caused anti-Yuan movements to rise and fall, and social turmoil has come and gone, and it can be said that it has reached a critical point of outbreak. Last year, in order to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court, Sang Ge implemented the hook examination and increased taxes, which made the grassroots people even more miserable.

In a village of about 300 households near Taizhou, some people became murderous when it was difficult to complete the task, and their spearhead was naturally aimed at the ten most basic household heads. So they secretly conspired together, agreed to kill the ten heads of households on their heads, and defected to the Song army to go to Jiangnan to get rid of the harsh government.

However, it was too hasty to carry out a careful plan, and as a result, some of them killed their ten heads of households according to the agreement, while others did not act immediately because of timidity. When they inquired about the situation the next morning and learned that many of the 10 heads of the family had been killed, they also had the courage to kill the 10 heads of the family, the news had already leaked, and he had already escaped the report. Seeing that the matter had been revealed, they began to flee with their families and ran towards Taizhou, but they also attracted the follow-up pursuit of the Mongol soldiers.

The fleeing people were caught up by the Yuan army more than ten miles away from Taizhou City, and happened to encounter a Song army that had just returned from sweeping. However, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the pursuing Yuan army was a cavalry of 1,000 men, while the Song army had only one infantry battalion. In the open field, the cavalry is the natural enemy of the infantry army, not to mention the difference in strength. But the Song army did not retreat, but quickly occupied a high slope, set up a hollow array facing the enemy on all sides, surrounded the people who fled here, and at the same time sent people to Taizhou City for help.

In this encounter, both sides are actually afraid of the wolf with a hemp stick. The Yuan army had long known that Taizhou had fallen, and there were more than 10,000 Song troops stationed there, and according to Yangzhou, it was not too far away, there were still tens of thousands of besieging troops there, and it was only a little more than an hour to send cavalry to help at full speed, so they would face the dilemma of being surrounded by counter-encirclement. In addition, they pretend to be a large army and are tasked with feints, and once the two sides are locked in a stalemate and continue to invest troops, there is a possibility that they will be exposed. So I was bent on a quick fix.

The situation faced by the Song army was similar, most of the troops in Taizhou City had been transferred back to Jiangnan to participate in the task of encircling and destroying the enemy who invaded the south, and there were only more than 1,000 troops left in the city to bluff, and they continued to send troops to sweep the surrounding area in order to show that they had sufficient troops, not only had the ability to defend the city, but also had the spare strength to clear out the remnants of the enemy and block the enemy who came to help from then on. But in fact, it is an empty city plan, even if it comes out, it will not be able to encircle and annihilate this enemy army that has broken into the ground of Taizhou, and if the troops do not move, the besieged troops outside the city are in danger of being annihilated, and if they do not send troops, there will also be the danger of revealing the stuffing.

When Ghost Li meets Ghost Li, this battle will be interesting, and it depends on who can bluff whom. The Song army outside the city was too small to dispel the line array against the enemy, so they could only rely on improvised fortifications, with muskets and grenades, and battalion mortar detachments to resist the onslaught of the Yuan cavalry. The Yuan army knew that it was in danger, and did not dare to attack with all its strength, but sent a lot of troops to guard in all directions, in case it was surrounded by the Song army that sent reinforcements. In this way, the Song army actually repelled several tentative attacks of the Yuan army in a row.

After breaking through the alert of the Yuan army, Jiang Fan, the commander of the third division and the third regiment of the Second Army, who was guarding Taizhou, made a quick decision and personally led all the troops left behind to help, and after breaking through the alert of the Yuan army, he used the tactics of cannons and bayonets at a distance of less than 50 paces from his brigade, and fired four rounds of shotgun shells with only a few rapid-fire guns, which actually blew up the formation of the enemy cavalry, and then the whole army mounted bayonets and launched an attack in a straggler formation.

Seeing the Song army like this, the Yuan army became timid, fearing that it would be surrounded and annihilated by subsequent reinforcements, so they quickly withdrew. And in this encounter, Zhao Yu, who was negotiating, grabbed the pigtail and scolded him for violating the peace agreement and attacking the city on a large scale, and shamelessly scolded him......
