"Then why are the Tartars here again?" Some people are puzzled.

"Hehe, Kublai Khan snatched the throne of the Tartar head. If there is nothing to do in the north, it is natural to go south. Chen Yuan smiled and continued: "This time, Kublai Khan, who became the emperor of Mongolia, listened to the words of a Han man who ran over from our side, well, it seems that he is called Liu Quan, don't fight Sichuan, don't fight Jianghuai, concentrate on fighting Xiangyang." As a result, the Mongols conquered Xiangyang, and then occupied Ezhou, and even went down the river to occupy Jiankang, slaughtered Changzhou, and I am afraid that they will drive to Lin'an in a few days. Emperor Lao Tzu was in a hurry, so he asked the king of the world to be diligent, that is, to let everyone save him. Today, our patrol security team is recruiting troops here, which is in response to the call of the imperial court. I hope that everyone will unite together, fight the Mongol Tatars, and drive the Mongols back to the steppe. ”

"Inspector, that's not right. According to you, this emperor Lao Tzu will flee when he sees the Hu people, leaving the people to be slaughtered, what kind of king are we doing, and what are we going to do to save them. Someone wondered.

"I also saved his mother's fart, killed myself, and complained about others." There are also people who do not fork the road.

The crowd was suddenly a little chaotic, and many people scolded angrily, and they were extremely angry with the emperor and ministers of the court.

There were also some people from other places, and some of the scholars looked angry, and they were not confused, but when they looked at the excited people around them, they thought about it and endured it.

The work of recruiting troops and horses seemed to be no longer going on, and Shi Ming, who was sitting at the table, couldn't sit still, got up and wanted to call Chen Yuan off the stage, and Chen Xiong, who was picking up money with a few team members, was busy directing the team members to maintain order.

"Folks, folks, don't mess around, don't go, listen to the inspection." The prince came out of nowhere and shouted. As he spoke, he waved his hand to Chen Xiong, Chen Xiong nodded, and then asked the team members to pour a load of copper coins on the open space in front of the stage and stack them up. The golden copper coins dazzled people's eyes, and the scene was quiet.

Chen Yuan smiled and continued: "Folks, we are not stupid. But why am I standing here today, and why do I contribute money and effort to let everyone come together to fight the Tartars? ”

Yes, a loser can't be such a defeat. This is exactly what the people wondered, and many stopped.

"That's because the emperor ran away, and we can't run. We are not only fighting the Mongols for the emperor who will run away at any time, but also for the sake of not robbing our own fields and property, and preventing our parents and family from being plundered by the Mongols. Everyone, please take a look. ”

Chen Yuan said, pointing to the banner and said: "What is written on it is: recruit troops, protect the family and defend the country, drive out the Tartars, and restore China." Let's go to fight the Tartars together and drive the Tartars away, in order to protect our own homes, so that we Chinese people can cultivate the fields and have children with peace of mind. It's not for the emperor Lao Tzu to be the emperor again. ”

"Oh." A few people nodded, but the table was still cold.

"Phew, bold. As an official of the imperial court, the national disaster is at the head, and he is blatantly bewitching the people here, and there is no king in his eyes! With an angry shout, an old man with gray hair came out of the crowd, followed by a few strangers.

A man in his thirties and forties, dressed ordinarily, but outstanding; The other two are girls dressed as men, one is round and angry, it is the Jiu Brother I saw yesterday, or it can be called Jiu Niang, and the other is full of shame, with a low pink neck, dragged by Jiu Niang, it seems that he doesn't like to show up.

Chen didn't understand why Jiu Niang, who went and came back yesterday, glared at him. Didn't you just borrow two horses from your family?

"It's the Shi of Goose Lake, the famous Mr. Morality." The villagers have a lot of acquaintances, and they are shouting. Chen Yuan didn't know him, but judging by the old man's style, he should be a more famous squire in the countryside.

"Oh, the old gentleman seems to be coming for advice. Dare to ask the fellow villagers, where is Chen's mistake. Chen arched his hand and said lightly. Speaking alone on the stage, coming out of a corrupt Confucian, coming to a debate, Chen Yuan couldn't ask for it.

"Hmph, there is a way to be a monarch and a minister, and there is always a rank. You are slandering the courtiers here, discussing the government in vain, and recruiting troops without authorization, are you Chen Yuan planning to rebel? Shi Yuanwai scolded angrily, his eyes were round, and he waved his sleeves away from Shi Ming, who stepped forward to comfort him.

"Haha, slander? So what is Chen's slander today? Isn't this court exactly what Chen said? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao Song has groveled to the outside world, to the Liao State, to the Xia, and later to the Jin State, isn't it sending money, land and women? Since the defeat of Emperor Taizong in the Great Song Dynasty, the entire Great Song Dynasty seems to have been broken, and which northern foreign tribe has stood up? Chen may still be lonely, please ask the old gentleman for advice. Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"The major affairs of the court are handled by the court, and we can abide by the law and wait for the arrangement. Is it that you can put a beak in a mere official? The imperial court is also very kind to your Chen family and grants you an official position. You don't feel comfortable performing your duties, but you have bad intentions. Now, when you openly slander the king, I ask you, do you have the heart to be loyal to the king? You are not appointed by the government, and you are here to gather and die, is it not a rebellion? ”

"Haha, is the old gentleman accusing Chen of not being appointed by the government and recruiting troops here privately?" Chen Yuan said with a smile, "The old gentleman is really closed to his family, and he doesn't hear about the world." Now that the Mengyuan Tartars are going south, the imperial court is in danger, and many times the edict of King Qin has been issued, allowing the righteous people to be organized in various places to go to the national disaster, but Liao Liao should respond. Chen responded to the edict here, not being praised and supported by the old gentleman, but unwarranted reproach, ignoring the life and death of the imperial court, which is the way of the old gentleman's loyalty. What a loyal gentleman, haha. Chen Yuan laughed.

"You... You...., I mean you slander the imperial court...."The Shi Yuanwai was asked by Chen Yuan's red face. Seeing Chen say this, the middle-aged scholar also frowned, but Jiu Niang's face eased a lot.

"Okay, let's go back, don't want to mistake me for recruiting troops to resist Mongolia here." Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Well, the old man asked you. Before you propagandized the brutality of the Mongols, and said that the Mongols killed people and plundered money, took their wives and daughters, and destroyed their fields for pasture. But the old man heard that as long as they did not resist the Mengyuan army, they would never kill the local people. Now Meng Yuan also occupies Raozhou, Jiujiang, and Xuanzhou, and has not heard of the slaughter of the city. You are uneasy about your duty, you make a big publicity, and provoke Meng Yuan, if you slaughter the city and plunder the people, won't you be recruited? The old man said excitedly.

The surrounding people also looked heavy, looking at Chen Yuan and the others with fear and hesitation. In the end, there are more people who are greedy for life, for fear that Chen Yuan's actions will bring disaster to them.

Or Kublai Khan's carrot and stick policy is so good, Chen Yuan sighed. Chen Yuan also understood the reason why there was no one to recruit today. Everyone was scared of being killed by the Mongols.

"How can the old uncle say that the Mengyuan people in Sichuan, Jingxiang, Jiujiang, and Jiangnan, have done less to kill people and slaughter cities? The nephew heard that where the Mongols passed, the village was empty, there were no less than 10 million people killed in Sichuan, none of them were left in Fancheng, and only seven people were left in 100,000 people in Changzhou. Shi Ming's words angered Shi Ming, and he stepped forward to ask.

"Who let them seek their own death. This Meng Yuan won the world is already the trend of the times, and he does not measure himself, not only looking for his own death, but also bringing death to the local people. There are so many places in Jiujiang, Raozhou, and Jiankang, and I haven't heard of the slaughter of the city. The old man advises you today, it is better to disperse the security team early and wait at home behind closed doors. National affairs have their own court to worry about. I'll wait for the small people, just wait for the order of the court. "Shi Yuan is full of words.

"Which court are you waiting for! You are greedy for life and afraid of death, willing to be a slave and at your mercy! ”

"That's better than sending you to death and bringing disaster to the place!"

"You..." Shi Ming was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Yes, what Shi Yuanwai said is reasonable, the Mongols are fierce, don't recruit them." Someone shouted.

"Lord Inspector, let's disperse the security team, the Mongols are not easy to mess with."

The people were talking noisily and clamoring together. pointed the finger at the security group. The middle-aged gentleman's face sank and he stepped aside. Jiuniang was dumbfounded, came back to her senses, and hurriedly pulled away from Shi Yuan.

Chen Yuan's face was pale, his hands were clenched, and he couldn't wait to pull out his waist knife and look away the proud old thing in front of him. M, I want to be a dog myself, and I want everyone to be a dog!

"My lord, rest your anger." Wang Fuzi gently tugged on Chen Yuan's sleeve, and Shi Shiran stepped forward.

"Haha, old man Shi, you have fallen for the Mongols' scheme."

"What did I do? That's just the way it is. Shi said coldly.

But all the people were quiet, and listened to what the king had to say.

"As the inspector said, this Mongolian is born to be murderous, which is also the nature of Mongolians. In the past years, the Mongols went on expeditions to the east and west, and everywhere they passed, they slaughtered countless cities and killed people. In Sichuan and Jiangbei, there were more than 10 million killings, but why did this southern expedition, although there were acts of looting and killing, but it was not a massacre, only a few places in Liao Liao such as Fancheng and Changzhou were slaughtered, do you know why? Wang Fuzi said with a smile.

"Naturally, the Lord of Mengyuan is merciful, and he doesn't want to kill too much, so he only punishes the rebellious place to set an example." Shi Zhi is a foreign way.

"Haha, the so-called country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Everyone knows that it is the nature of this tiger to eat people, and one day the tiger will stop eating people, is this still a tiger? It is the nature of this Mongol to kill people and plunder money, if they don't kill people, is this still a Mongol? Folks, tell me, is this possible? Master Wang laughed.

"yes. The Mongols finally conquered the country, can they still not kill people and plunder money? ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's unreliable. In this world, there is no reason why tigers do not eat people. ”

The people in the audience began to discuss.....

"Nonsense. When this Mongolian enters my Chinese land, he is naturally influenced by my Chinese etiquette, so how can he blindly kill. ”

"As the old man said, this Mongolian has been taught by my Chinese etiquette, so why is there a massacre of Fancheng and Changzhou? Even if there is resistance from the government and the people, it is also under the order of our Great Song Dynasty, and the two countries are fighting, how can they slaughter the city because of resistance, and the people of the city are innocent?

If, as the old man said, the robber breaks down the door and enters your house, your family can only kneel down to greet you, and you can't resist a little, otherwise the robber will kill your family. This disaster is not to blame the thieves, but to invite yourself. That's what the old man said. If that's the case, everyone will go to the old man's house now, plunder your property, and humiliate your wife and daughter. Is that what the old man said? Master Wang asked.

"You....you....nonsense." Shi Yuan was angry and ruined the tunnel.

"Hmph. Shi Yuanwai recruited robbers one day, remember to let the family kneel to greet him. If you want our patrol security team to disperse, we don't need to protect your home today, so you can do it yourself. Wang Fuzi flicked his sleeves and said.

"You....you...."Looking at the eyes around him, he was faintly afraid. This is a mess, don't invite the disaster of killing.
