Tang Wu people is the Yuan court's name for the Tangut people with the Dangxiang clan as the main body, during the strong period of the Western Xia, the territory was vast, "inside and outside the river, there are two out of twenty prefectures and counties". At that time, Western Xia had a long-term confrontation with Liao, Song, and Jin, and its military strength was strong. Since the rise of the Mongol power in the north, Genghis Khan has at least six expeditions to the Western Xia, and in 1227, the Mongol army entered the Zhongxing Mansion of the Western Xia, and the 190-year-old Western Xia Kingdom finally perished.

After the fall of the Western Xia, the Dangxiang people, as the main ethnic group, became subjects under Mongol rule. In addition to most of the Tang Wu people living in the homeland of Western Xia, some of them migrated to the interior.

During the period of Genghis Khan, he recruited the Tang Wu people in the area west of the river to prepare for conquest. The Tang Vultures played a very important role in a series of wars led by the Mongols. Western Xia became an important rear to replenish the Mongol military resources. During the reign of Kublai Khan, he established an army in the Western Xia region seven times, and the number of people at one time could be as many as 3,000. The Mongols often put it on the front line of the war against the Jin and Song Dynasty, and the Hexi Army under the command of Mu Huali, Boyan, Ashu, and Li Heng who fought on the eastern front. On the western front, Sichuan and Yunnan also had a large number of Western Xia troops participating in the war.

After entering the Yuan Dynasty, these escort troops were often stationed around Dadu. In addition to the Bald Luhua Army, the Yuan Dynasty Su Guard specially set up Tang Wuwei, "Tang Wuzhiwei, sent envoys from the six counties of Hexi to fill it." ”

The people of Yidu Road were even more overjoyed after hearing the news, and with this strong help, they must have won but what was in their pockets.

Note: Yuanzhi Xuanwei Embassy Division, or "Xuanwei Sidu Marshal's Mansion", "Xuanwei Division is also in charge of military and Wanhu Mansion", in charge of military and civilian affairs, separate counties and counties, convey county requests to the province, convey provincial decrees to the county, and is the transfer organ between the province and the county.

What Gu Kai and the others didn't know was that this time Zhongshu was able to deploy troops and horses so quickly, but the main reason was Hama's doing.

When he saw Yiwang's request to buy slaves, Hama was a political minister in Zhongshu Pingzhang, and he could participate in various decisions such as state affairs and military affairs, and his power was so great that he could not do it for a while.

In the letter, Mainu claimed that although the thief chief of Yidu Road was given the head by Yu Hai, the remnants were still there, especially in the mountains east and south of Yidu Road, there were still many thieves who did not obey the king, and they attacked the county government and plundered the baggage on the official road, which had led to the loss of a large amount of money and grain collected by the imperial court this year.

Then I flipped through the several military letters sent by Tokhtar in the south to urge for grain and grass, soldiers and horses to support, Hama's eyes rolled, and with a big stroke of his pen in the review, he directly turned Tang Wuwei in the Beijing division and Su Wei who was about to be transferred to the direction of Yidu Road.

Emperor Yuan Hui Emperor Zhongshu Pingzhang has been added repeatedly, but because Emperor Hama Meng is favored and prosperous, everyone is more obedient to Hama's intentions, and now since Hama is not colleague to discuss that it is monopolistic, everyone is not easy to refute its approval.

Hama put down the red pen, handed the approval to the small official of the side servant, and said lazily: "I know this matter, this thief is not removed, the place is not quiet, now the southern war is in full swing, the rear supply and demand and grain roads need to ensure the smooth flow of the need, and approved the request of the king, and will transfer this recital to all the adults to read." ”

The little official whispered and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little one will hand over the meaning of the adult to the adults," this little official specially served beside Hama, and his ability to observe words and colors was perfect, and he pondered the various reviews of Hama in the past few months. Hama saw that he was clever, and he was also happy to use it, and gradually regarded him as a confidant.

Seeing that the capital nodded and retreated, Hama put down a table of proclamations and applications from all over the place, and paced back and forth in this room of the yamen.

Since Zhang Shicheng occupied Gaoyou and other places, the grain of Jianghuai can no longer be transported north through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Tonghui River, which used to be busy, is now obviously much lighter, and the boats full of grain and grass are like a dragon going south, while the boats returning north are mostly empty.

Most of the capitals need to transfer millions of stone grain from the south every year, and now not only can they no longer transport it, but they also have to requisition millions of stone military grain from all over the country for the southern expedition, which has brought great pressure to the economy of the entire north and the operation of the imperial court. Although Emperor Yuan Hui was not diligent in state affairs, he also heard the news that the price of rice and grain in Dadu had risen sharply recently. The recitals of Hama and other close ministers hinted at the heavy burden of the southern expeditionary army on the operation of the imperial court.

During the whole recruitment process, Hama carefully operated in it again. After the grain and grass collected by most of the capital are inspected, they continue to be transported south through the Tonghui River, but the quantity is obviously less than one percent, and it will be less than one percent when it arrives in Jinan, and finally arrives at Jianghuai, and the total number goes at least three percent. Of course, the reason reported above is naturally the drifting of the transportation along the way, and whoever investigates it can't find out.

This drifting is a common practice, and the officials know it, but more than thirty percent of the drifting seems to be a bit much, and Totok repeatedly wrote to complain about the lack of food and grass, and even had to suspend the attack or stop the pursuit due to lack of food, and sent letters to reprimand the poor military supplies along the way, and the lack of supply, and asked the Chinese book to strictly investigate the dereliction of duty. It's a pity that he is in the south, but Hama and others are the ministers of Zhongshu Pingzhang, and this kind of thing is handed over to Hama and others, and it is a mud cow into the sea, and there is no news.

Of course, if the military grain arrives in Jianghuai, after the secret guidance of Hama and others, the grain and grass will often be temporarily concentrated in one place for no reason, because of the lack of transport vehicles and mules and horses, it has to be delayed for a lot of time, and even a batch of grain and grass will be required to arrive in Yancheng today, Huai'an tomorrow, and Hongze the day after tomorrow, and a good batch of grain and grass will finally arrive in Gaoyou, only less than fifty percent remain. The quartermaster in the camp jumped to his feet in a hurry!

In order to meet the military needs, the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of horses and horses can not be easily satisfied, a completely agrarian society, not only the grain yield per mu is low, but also the efficiency of road transportation is quite backward, if there are not enough mules and horses, transportation alone, the transportation cost is unimaginable!

In recent years, the Yuan court has successively detained a large number of horses on both sides of the Jianghuai River and the Yellow River, that is, compulsory expropriation of civilian livestock without compensation, resulting in a greater scarcity of civilian mules and horses, and it is difficult for local officials to requisition enough animal power to use.

Fortunately, the canal in the north was still unblocked, otherwise the Yuan court would not have been able to guarantee the daily food and grass consumption of the Toktoku army. However, the contradictions between the military and the government, or the contradictions between Tokhtar and Hama, are getting worse and worse.

Hama was a little anxious in his heart. The detachment army marched south all the way to the flag, and the thief was invincible, and its battle situation was similar to that of Xuzhou in that year. But now it is different from the past, and the opposition between the prince's party and Hama and Tokhtar in the court has gradually surfaced, and the contradictions between the two have become increasingly prominent, and the compromise and secret struggle of the past are no longer the same.

Tokhtar is obviously not enthusiastic about the current crown prince's ascension. This put a lot of pressure on the crown prince Aiyu Zhilidala and the queen mother Qishi, which also made Aiyu Zhilidala and Qishi finally get together with Hama.

Emperor Yuan replaced, the central ministers of the court have great ability to move, whether they can get the full support of the ministers is an important guarantee for the success of the successor.

The frequent change of emperors in the Yuan Dynasty is also a historical surprise, only from 1307 (the 11th year of Dade) to 1333 (the first year of Yuan Tong), 36 emperors were replaced in less than 30 years, and the reign of the Yuan Emperor was very short. Emperors are mostly puppets and cannot make decisions on major matters. Most of the political affairs were manipulated by the powerful ministers, and the edicts were issued or decreed. The palace strife continued, and the deceit appeared from time to time.

When Tuhuan Timur ascended the throne, his luck was quite good, and it has been more than 20 years, and he has been standing tall, which can be called an evergreen tree among the emperors. In addition to his good balance, the powerful minister Boyan, especially the vigorous renewal of Toto, and the elimination of political malpractices have a great relationship, and Boyan and Totoku are powerful ministers in the court.

In the past few months, Lu Sicheng, Shang Shucheng of the Ministry of Industry, and Yuan Saiyin of Yushitai have responded to the palace, and Emperor Yuan Hui has made a lot of small reports outside the palace, which has made the image of the Emperor Yuan Hui very bad.

In order to stabilize the Yidu Road place, he has decided to transfer Tang Wuwei, who was originally scheduled to be transferred to Gaoyou, to Yidu Road, so as to pacify the thieves as soon as possible.

A few Zhongshu Pingzhang listened to it, although this group of Su Guards is known as elite, but for the hundreds of thousands of troops in the south, it is just a drop in the bucket, and the Tokh Marshal has won many victories, and it doesn't seem to matter whether there are these Su Guards or not.

Some people are more deep in the city, and they seem to think that Hama's move has another deep meaning. The contradiction between these two people has long been made public, and the generals such as the commander of Tang Wuwei have always been out of the prime minister's lineage, and now Hama has transferred them to Yidu, I don't know if there is another meaning?

Thinking about the recent increase in Emperor Yuan's ambiguous rhetoric about Totokh, and the rumors of the competition for the throne in the court, this person simply closed his eyes and said nothing. This trip is too deep, once you sink into it, you are afraid of death and no life!

That night, the palace and the prince's mansion knew about Hama's instructions. High in the moon, a messenger from the prince's mansion crept into Hama's mansion, and after a long time, quietly returned in the night.

A day later, from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Yushitai under the Zhongshu Gate, and even the Guanglu Temple, the Tongzheng Yuan, the Xuanzheng Yuan, the Dadu River Lifting Division, and the Shandong and Henan Xingdu Water Supervision Departments respectively put forward a plea for the delay of the war in the south and the increasingly difficult operation of political affairs, imploring Emperor Yuan to increase the decree and speed up the progress of the suppression of bandits, end the war as soon as possible, and restore the people's livelihood.

The hundred officials were worried about state affairs, Emperor Yuan was naturally pleased, and the Jinluan Palace personally inquired about the progress of the war in the south, and someone in the Privy Council came out to state that the war was going well, but Zhang was cunning and cunning, and he had the intention of recalcitrant resistance. If we want to end the war, first, we need to vigorously support the rear to supply soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and second, the southern rivers are dense, and it is not easy for the army to turnover.

However, the river lifting department and the water supervisor immediately went out to complain, since the Zhang thief uprising, the large and small ships of the Jianghuai were plundered and burned, scuttled and sunk, and the ships in the north were mostly used for the transportation of grain, grass, clothing and quilts, and they were really unable to extract it for a while, and in addition, there were thieves and treasures overseas, and they also occupied the islands outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, wantonly plundering ships to and from the sea, and the imperial court repeatedly suppressed several times, and countless ships were destroyed, and it was difficult to transport by sea; In addition, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of them had to be requisitioned and transported by water in various parts of the abdomen, and these two yamen were also busy, and if they wanted to transfer ships for the southern battlefield, it would only greatly reduce the supply of military supplies.

In a word, if you want a ship, you will have no grain and grass, and if you want food and grass, there will be no ship. Even if grain and grass are needed, they may not be able to fully guarantee the logistics supply.

Emperor Yuan couldn't, playing with people's hearts and powers, checking and balancing all parties, he was more adept, and said that he was helpless to govern state affairs, and he was helpless to suppress bandits and people.

Supervising the imperial history Yuan Saiyin did not take the opportunity to play: "Your Majesty, at present, the imperial court's finances are tight, it is already beyond its means, this year's food prices in Kyoto have doubled compared with the beginning of the year, if the war drags on for more than a month, the ministers are afraid that the food prices in Kyoto will more than double, then the hunger will spread, the people's hearts will fluctuate, and rumors will spread, if the foundation of the society is shaken, the ministers and others are sinners!" His Majesty urged Youcheng to end the war as soon as possible. ”

Hama, Ruzhongbai, Xuexue and others seconded the proposal, and with them taking the lead, dozens of officials from various departments in the palace came out to second. However, there are also those who oppose it, and the first person is the brother of Tokhtar and Timur.

"Your Majesty, since the right man led the army to the south, he has done his best, loyal and brave to the country, and the world knows it! Now there have been dozens of thief cities, now the thief is based on only a hundred miles, the city is only a few, the victory is only in the evening, Your Majesty as long as you wait and see, presumably within the month can be triumphantly returned, why rush for a while! Besides, the army is outside, and the information of the fighter planes is ever-changing, how can this palace make an easy decision after a discussion? "First Timur was right, hating to kill Hama and the others with his eyes.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in one place, how much does the imperial court's money and food consume every day? I don't know if adults have a plan? An official of the household department immediately retorted.

"My lord led 200,000 male troops back then, and Shahe was heroic in the first battle, so he must have experience in the war, otherwise why would he be so sure of the battle of Jianghuai?" This is Xue Xue's sneering.

The first battle of Shahe completely ruined the military career of Timur, and he wanted to use his military exploits to make a lot of capital, but because he had no way to command the army, the army bombed the camp, trampled on each other, and suffered countless losses, including the elite of the Asu army. Fortunately, his brother got rid of himself and was in a high position, and when the saint was deeply in love, he supported Timur first and pleaded in front of Emperor Yuan, so that he was exempted from the crime of defeating the army and gave him the post of imperial history in the court.
