Chapter 180: The Return of "Huang An".
The development of Shandong cannot be said to be changing with each passing day, but many changes can be seen directly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Facts have proved that the Shandong operation planned by Zhang Guoan is becoming more and more effective.
Helping the Great Song Dynasty is the main purpose, and it has now become a reality.
Although the Great Song Dynasty's renegade made peace alone, making Shandong an opponent of the Tatar bandit group, the Great Song Dynasty's secret help was also huge, whether it was manpower or material resources, they could be said to have obtained the opportunity for rapid development, so that they had the confidence and ability to hold the Shandong region...... The Great Song Dynasty has also achieved a temporary stable life and development, and generally speaking, the two sides of Liuqiu Island and the Great Song Dynasty have achieved the basic win-win goal, of course, it is not perfect.
Over the years, Liuqiu Island has also exported important materials and manpower from Shandong to develop Shandong, and they have not lost money, but have gained benefits.
Shandong is originally a resource-rich region, and with the help of science and technology that is not yet available in this time and space, they will quickly reap the harvest!
Coal, especially high-quality coke, has contributed to the development of smelting on the island.
Not to mention pig iron and other minerals produced here.
One of the driving forces of human development turned out to be war, which cannot but make people sigh......
Most crucially, they gave the people of the north a chance to choose with their feet...... They have previously believed that the reason for the silence of the people, in addition to political repression, is mainly that the people do not have the opportunity to choose with their feet!
As long as there is really an open road to escape...... No matter how stupid they are, they will not endure endless exploitation and oppression!
There are many ways and roads to carry supplies from Shandong, and there are just as many ways to get here from areas under the control of Tatar bandits.
Those big families will secretly leave a way for themselves and quietly contact the Shandong region; Those low-level literati officials will also run quickly towards Shandong under the tide of anti-corruption...... In fact, the people also know and understand that when they are sure that there is really a chance for development in Shandong, no matter how many people say that the people who occupy Shandong are a group of pirates, more and more people are running to Shandong, and it has become a trend!
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, was happy to see this, and they were all ready for a long time...... Manpower is always what they need most.
There is no shortage of food...... Corn flatbread, salted fish, and vermicelli kelp soup, these can be fully supplied, and the northern Han people at this time are also normal Han people, as long as there is a stutter, they can live, and no one will resist!
The Tatars are no longer plundering and oppressing the people under their rule, but openly robbing them, they are indeed in urgent need of all kinds of military resources, and when their armies arrive, they basically reveal their true colors, they are originally bandits from foreign races!
The Han Chinese officials' rule of law is now ineffective, and the need for war is the last word...... It's all about winning the battle!
The three garrison areas of the Central Plains have become hell on earth, and the cavalry has played a major role in the process of looting everywhere...... The terrain and climate were just right for cavalry to march around.
The advances of the Han officials were suppressed by the big boss Kublai Khan, and he understood all the problems, but now the key to the problem is that he has to feed the hundreds of thousands of troops who have come from afar!
If they don't eat well, or if they don't have enough to eat, they will still grab it, and it's better to be like this now, military discipline is not good, it doesn't matter, wait for the war to end and talk about other issues.
The big boss Kublai Khan sneered and said, "Don't defeat those pirates...... Is there peace to talk about? It's not me, it's not them! ”
The matter of his exchange of centurion Huang An for the great Confucian Hao Jing has been talked about by the Hanchens, and they praise the big boss everywhere for still having an important position in the hearts of Hanchen...... The Great Confucian, who was detained by the Song for more than ten years, will still be remembered......
Huang An's return was like a myth to Huang An, and he looked puzzled until he was sent to the border of Shandong.
He was ready to die in all kinds, but at least he lived a little longer...... After he was put in prison, he knew that he was going to be executed, and he knew that he had cheated the Tatars once, and he was afraid that he would be mercilessly abused, but at least it was much better than dying nameless with Zhang Hongfan, at least he could make a name for himself.
I can die, but it's important whether my death brings me personal fame or glory to my family!
Huang An, no, Zhao An really thinks so...... So, when he was escorted, he only thought about what kind of torture he might receive, but when he was escorted farther and farther away, he was already desperate, didn't he even have a chance to be executed in front of the public?!
So, what else can he rely on to make a name for himself...... Death that no one knows is meaningless!
Even his idea of leaving some poetry could not be realized...... The group pulled the prisoner cart with him and sped quickly towards the south.
At that time, the condition mentioned by the two sides was that as long as Huang An was sent to Shandong, the begging party could release Hao Jing...... Of course, compared with Hao Jing, a small soldier is nothing, in the eyes of Kublai Khan, the big leader at that time, rescuing a great Confucian is a good way to win the hearts of Han subjects, and it will benefit without expense.
The Liuqiu Guards welcomed the return of "Huang An" in a solemn form.
At that time, the Ryukqiu Guard had already established basic military etiquette.
They wore uniform uniforms and stood tall with guns amid solemn military music.
Compared to the soldiers of the Liuqiu Guard, the Tatar soldiers who escorted "Huang An" looked like bandits.
The bandits looked in amazement at the so-called Liuqiu cavalry, who were riding horses that were a head taller than their own!
Moreover, their swords were shining silver, and their style was different from their own, and they seemed to be longer and thinner...... It was made by Wang Defa's family according to the style of modern sabers, and it was chrome-plated.
The chain mail and leather lining armor on the Liuqiu cavalry made them even more greedy...... The leather armor on their own bodies all exuded the stench of untanned goods, and they had also heard that the Liuqiu people were the most favorite bathing people in the world, and they liked to wash more than the Song people.
From the outside of their soldiers, those men were probably the cleanest soldiers they had ever seen!
The soldiers of the Liuqiu Guard greeted him with a respectful demeanor, and the fake name was Huang An, but in fact, his real name was Zhao An's Great Song Volunteer, and no one looked down on him because he was captured...... There is a clear order in the Wandering Guard that if resistance fails, you can surrender because you can be saved!
Some people may not be able to figure this out, but most people don't say it, but they like it in their hearts, and no one wants to do it in vain.
Everyone here knows the story of Zhao An's capture, although the "Liuqiu Times" did not publish his final resistance process because it wanted to protect him, but it has long been spread throughout the army.
You can surrender, but you should respect those who dare to resist to the death...... What's more, he was able to play tricks on the court of the Tatars, which showed a kind of wit.
At that time, Zhao An looked at his teammates who welcomed him back with tears in his eyes, and they were all looking at him with respectful expressions. (To be continued.) )
