Chapter 396: Crowning the Grand Master

Xuzhou was broken, and the world was shocked.

Only then did the Red Turban Army of the North and South change their attitude of contempt for the Yuan soldiers, and seriously think about the opponents they were facing.

Since Peng Yingyu's master and apprentice were killed in Hangzhou, the Southern Red Turban Army under the Tianwan regime was immediately suppressed in its intention to expand, and the newly appointed senior officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and Dong Junxiao, who was promoted to the governor of political affairs, counterattacked all the way and recovered many lost ground.

On the side of the two Red Army, after Wang Quan was captured and killed, Meng Haima and Zhang Chun adopted guerrilla tactics to deal with the loss of Badulu and the bite.

Wherever the two of them led the army to attack, Meng Haima gave it away, turned his gun and attacked other places.

Answering that Badulu refused to give up, on the one hand, he asked officials from all over the country to actively deploy defenses, and on the other hand, he personally led a large army to pursue Meng Haima, and the two sides fought fiercely for a while, but there was no result.

The saddest day is the northern Red Turban Army, after Tokhtar captured Xuzhou, the body of the captured saint was hung upside down at the head of the city to show the public, which made the Northern Red Turban Army sad and unbearable, but also greatly damaged their morale.

Fortunately, Liu Futong now has Sheng Wenyu as a helper, and with him to help deal with Du Zundao's worries, Liu Futong finally led his troops to fight a few small victories, so that Tai Buhua did not dare to commit rashly.

In addition, Xuzhou was broken, and all the people who cared about Wen Xuan sweated for him, and now everyone knows that the Japanese soldiers of Xuzhou City Broken carried out a brutal massacre, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are chickens and dogs in the city.

Liu Futong and Du Zundao both sent people to Xuzhou to check on them, and they did see a woman dressed as a saint being hung at the head of the city to show the public, but after all, they had never seen Han Lingyue's true face, so they were also suspicious of Han Lingyue's death, and they had no idea about the whereabouts of Wen Xuan and Mu Chong.

Without Wen Xuan and Han Lingyue to help them communicate with the Red Turban Army in various places, the three parties began to fight on their own, and they could only switch from offense to defense and wait for new opportunities.

Before returning to Beijing, Tokhan personally summoned Li Chahan and Li Siqi, and he liked Li Chahan very much, claiming that talents like him must serve the country.

Richard was eager to make a contribution, and he was overjoyed to be so praised by the prestigious prime minister of the dynasty that he could become an official of the Yuan court again when he returned to the court to ask for a holy decree for him.

Regarding Li Siqi, after Totok learned that he was Han, he didn't comment too much, just praised a few words on the surface, and didn't say that he wanted to ask for merit and official honor.

After the successful example of the two of them recruiting private soldiers to fight with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the officials who immediately ordered the red turban thieves to cause chaos could use this method to unite with the local landowners and wealthy merchants to fight, and those who made meritorious contributions could receive rewards from the imperial court.

As soon as this order came out, in the next half a year, the Red Turban Army in the north and south was miserable and was suppressed by the landlord class by frantic force, but Tokhtar did not expect that this order would cause much trouble for the Yuan court in the future.

On the day of returning to Beijing, Dadu also ushered in an unprecedented grand occasion.

Emperor Zhizheng personally greeted him with hundreds of officials, and he was terrified of such an honor.

After the great ceremony of the monarch and the minister, Hama stepped forward to read aloud a royal decree, saying that Totok had the merit to pacify the thief Kou in Xuzhou, and crowned him as the master of the dynasty, and established a new word for Tokh in Xuzhou, and set up a "Xuzhou Pingkou Tablet" next to the shrine to praise his merits.

Totoku was so grateful that he wept and wept, bowed to Emperor Zhizheng again and again, and finally didn't dare to get up until the emperor held each other with his own hands.

After rewarding Totokh, Emperor Zhizheng drove back to the palace and let Tokh go back to the palace to rest for a few days.

After Tokhtar won the reward, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was like a festival, and Tokhtar was able to call his henchmen and subordinates to the front to be rewarded.

Among them, the greatest credit is the recommendation of Ru Zhongbai, who is too inexpensive, and immediately promoted him from Zuo Shilang to the official position of the senator and the secretary of the council, and all the affairs of the prime minister's office.

Everyone was rewarded and couldn't close their mouths, and a steward came in to communicate, saying that it was the right master of the Chinese book who came to visit.

Totoku is also very grateful to this old friend in his heart, he was able to successfully go out and win, and naturally he was indispensable in the palace.

In order to show his attention to Hama, Totok specially sent Ruzhong Baidai himself to greet him.

It was a good intention, but as everyone knows, Hama and Ru Zhongbai are a little discordant in private, and Ru Zhongbai will not say anything about it, so he bowed down and took the order.

Hama and Tokhtar can be said to be friends in trouble, and Hama himself has always regarded himself as the most important confidant of the Tokhtar party, but he has no choice but to offer advice to Tokhtar several times but has not been adopted, but a miscellaneous staff member Ru Zhongbai has become a celebrity in front of Toto, and Hama is therefore quite displeased with Ru Zhongbai.

Ru Zhongbai naturally felt Hama's contempt, but his status was humble, even if he suffered some troubles, he could only swallow it in his stomach, so he had to concentrate on doing his own thing, looking forward to the day when he would soar.

Today, when Ru Zhongbai had just received the reward, it was when he was fluttering, so he had a sense of revenge, and after receiving the order to go down to greet him, not only did he not greet him quickly, but changed three steps into two steps, and two steps into one step, and walked slowly outside the house.

The steward who led the way saw Ru Zhongbai's thoughts, so he didn't dare to urge, so he had to slow down and follow him.

Ru Zhongbai walked half the way, and suddenly saw a maid watering the flowers in the garden, and after a turn of thought, he asked for the scoop that sprinkled water, and scooped some water himself and handed it to the steward: "Splash it on me!" ”

The steward was startled, how dare he do it, but he was slapped by Ru Zhongbai: "If you want to splash it, you will splash it, otherwise I will drive you out of the house!" Didn't you hear that the Prime Minister had ordered me to do everything in the Prime Minister's Office? ”

The steward took the water scoop and splashed it on Ru Zhongbai's shirt, but he didn't know that he was slapped by Ru Zhongbai again: "I'll let you splash me!" Splash on your head! ”

The steward was full of grievances, covered his face and did so, this time splashing Ru Zhongbai like a chicken in soup.

Ru Zhongbai smiled with satisfaction: "Remember, when I met Hama, I said that I was accidentally splashed by the maid who watered the flowers, did you hear?" ”

The steward chick nodded his head in a rice-pecking manner: "Don't worry, the little ones will do it." ”

The two of them continued to move forward slowly, and the time it took to take half a cup of tea was enough to walk a stick of incense.

As the confidant of the emperor and Toto, Hama is arrogant wherever he goes, and only the officials greet him personally, and every time he arrives at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is greeted by Tokhtar in person, and he is also greeted by the head of the palace or his staff.

Could it be that there are too many things in the house? The prime minister is busy and distracted? As Hama was thinking this, he heard Ru Zhongbai raise his voice and shout: "Lord Youcheng forgive your sins, and your humble post is slower!" ”
