Chapter 42: Turning Around (Part 3)

Yue Kuocha'er on the opposite side seemed to be drained of his last strength in an instant. The whole person leaned back in the chair, neither refuting nor agreeing, and the two eyes were straight, as if the soul had long since detached from the shell.

Loyal Ministers Through the Ages? Is the loyalty of the eternal is what he can do? Not to mention that Tuhuan Timur is now on guard against and suppresses him everywhere, and is ready to let him do the second liberation at any time. With the amount of benefits he has reaped from the north-south trade in the past two years, it is enough for the world's huge greed for the top five, who would believe that he is actually loyal to the Great Yuan Dynasty?

Not only Yue Kuocha'er was depressed alone, but several other senior generals of the forbidden army were also full of defeat. In fact, before the father and son of Tuhuan Timur turned against each other, they never thought of betraying Dayuan. Although they usually make money, they are scrambling one by one.

However, they never thought of being loyal ministers like Bi Gan and Yue Fei. Because they knew that they were not worthy, and they also knew that the Great Yuan Court would not give them the opportunity to be loyal ministers at all. The great emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who hid in the deep palace and practiced the secret method of playing butterflies, may not be interested in other things, but he can do it well with the family background of the courtiers. The reason why I haven't done anything to clean up the crowd so far is because the money in the treasury is barely enough to spend. Once the treasury is once again unable to make ends meet, according to the usual behavior of Tuhuan Timur, waiting for the fate of everyone, either to get rid of it, or to Hama.

The second detachment, Yue Kuo Cha'er and others would never do it, that ending was too miserable, just thinking about it was already chilling. And to be the second to do hama, you need a kind of freedom to see through the red dust. Yue Kuo Cha'er and these henchmen and generals around him also do not have it.

They are like a herd of piglets in a pigsty, instinctively attacking them when they see that animals may be fighting for food outside. And is there enough swill and rice bran in the trough? Are the walls and roof of the pigsty still strong? They didn't care! Until one day, they saw their master sharpening his knives at the door of the pigsty, and the pigsty itself was about to collapse at any moment. At this time, they were terrified to find that they only had two choices left: escaping and facing tigers, leopards and jackals, or staying and waiting for death!

"Boyan was caught by the Taiwei for not doing things secretly, but the Taiwei did not take the opportunity to attack the whole city, Suo Huaiyang made a detailed work, this favor, Lu Mou has already written it down!" Chef Lu Wen's words suddenly remembered in everyone's ears, like the first candle in the night. "The reason why Lu is so verbose today is precisely because he is grateful for the gesture of Lord Taiwei. My father-in-law, from the day he established himself, had clear grievances. Zhang Song helped my father-in-law arrest Zhang Mingjian, so Zhang Song is regarded as an absolute confidant until now. General Mao Gui has the grace of giving a cane, so General Mao Gui's grain, grass and weapons are all supplied by my Huaiyang, and I will do my own thing in Chuzhou, and my lord will also let it go."

"I, I'm all Mongolians after all!" Yue Kuocha'er heard this, and looked up to the sky again and sighed. He knew about Zhang Song's affairs, and he once laughed at Zhu Butcher's hypocrisy with many colleagues. As a bystander, he could see the relationship between the Chuzhou Army and the Huai'an Army under Mao Gui's department, and he knew how difficult it was for Zhu Butcher to do this step. But whether it is Zhang Song or Mao Gui, they are all out-and-out heroes of the Han family, so Zhu Butcher can have a heart-to-heart with the two of them. As for himself, he is like a Mongolian nobleman who is fake, from the top family of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and his ancestor is the head of the four masters, Borhu!

This sentence almost said the voice of everyone present, and made the eyes of several generals red. If they do not collude with the Huai'an army, they are afraid that even if they do not die on the battlefield, they will have to die at the hands of Tuhuan Timur sooner or later. But the Huai'an Army, they are equivalent to betraying their own nation!

Back then, Zhu Chongjiu relied on the sentence "expelling the Tartars" to arouse the hatred of the heroes of the Han family all over the world. As a once glorious clan in the world, how could the Mongols be willing to kill each other and betray their people in exchange for their own peace?! There are some things that are common to all human beings. It doesn't belong to a particular ethnic group at all. It is some of these absolute scum who will think that it is an honor to sell their own nation. And no matter how high the status of these scum climbs, they will not be really looked down upon by the side he has taken refuge in!

As a die-hard follower of Zhu Chongjiu, Chef Lu Wen really understands the feelings of Yue Kuochaer and others at the moment. However, he had also found the relevant answer in his mind. Therefore, after just a little consideration, he shook his head with a smile: "There is a big truth, don't blame Lord Taiwei!" In addition to fighting on the battlefield, have the Taiwei and the generals calculated, in the past five years, have more Mongolians died in my Huaiyang Dazong's mansion, or more Mongolians have died at the hands of His Majesty the Emperor?! ”

"This ——?" Yue Kuo Cha'er and the others were stunned, and then their faces turned red with shame.

Although Zhu Chongjiu was contemptuously called a butcher, he was always laughed at for the kindness of women. All the prisoners who were captured by him on the battlefield, even if they couldn't afford any ransom, would be released one after another after working for the Huai'an Army for a month or two. At present, there has not been any massacre of the Mongol people in the areas that have been captured by the Huai'an army. On the contrary, as long as the Mongolian people are willing to take the initiative to do things, the government at all levels in Huaiyang can basically treat the children of the Han family under their rule.

It is very shameful that in recent years, Tuhuan Timur has repeatedly raised a butcher's knife against the civil and military officials of the current dynasty. Not counting the cannibalism between him and Aiyou Zhili Dala's father and son, how many famous civil and military officials died in a mess in order to win Tokhtara back then? And after cleaning Hama a few months ago, how many people who had been close to Hama suffered from the pond fish?!

This is just the disposition of the officials, thinking that they once served the imperial court, Tuhuan Timur will be more or less merciful, and try not to cut down the other party's wives and children to the roots. And for the low-level unfortunate to follow the wrong owner, or involved in the political whirlpool, there is no such "preferential treatment". Usually, with a stroke of the pen, thousands of heads fall to the ground, and they don't even bother to record the names and "crimes" of the executed.

In other words, in the past five years, the Mongols who have died at the hands of the Great Yuan court themselves are probably more than ten or even twenty times as many as those who have died at the hands of Zhu Chongjiu. Even if the soldiers killed on the battlefield are counted, the Great Yuan Court is far ahead. This is a fact written in blood, and Yue Kuo Cha'er can't deny it at all, and she doesn't have the courage to deny it!

"Ivanov, Aslan, Yu Tonghai, what are their positions in my Huaiyang official residence? Presumably, the Dayuan Imperial Court has already heard it clearly! "Chef Lowen came again, and it sounded full of temptation.

Yue Kuo Cha'er bit her lip hard, forcing herself to stay calm. "Of course I know, there is no doubt about it. But on Dayuan's side, there are also Han Yuan, Han Yong, and recently Li Siqi! ”

"Lord Taiwei is arguing again!" Chef Lu Wen smiled and waved his hand, "You know that you don't mean the same thing!" It is true that since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there has been no shortage of Han Chinese serving as high-ranking officials. However, the ancestral rules of the Great Yuan Dynasty were the most noble among the Mongols and the second among the Semu people. As for the Han and the Han people in the south, unless they are of great use to the imperial court, they will be looked down upon. Others, the status is just a group of minions who can pay grain and taxes, and they are not even as good as the cattle and horses raised by the master! Even those who were looked down upon, if they exceeded the level with the Mongols, even if they punished a group of rebels within the scope of their duties, they would be exterminated, and the court would not remember their old merits at all! ”

This is also an example of facts that can be found in every sentence, so that Yue Kuochaer can't refute it at all. Think that back then, Zhang Hongfan slaughtered the last tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and Leshi was inscribed, what a majesty and what a shocking achievement? However, the descendants of the Zhang family were almost slaughtered by the imperial court because they stopped a group of Mongolian rebels from looting the people, and there were no Mongolian high-ranking officials at all, thinking of the merits of his ancestors, let alone any Mongolian generals, taking them as their own!

"Lu took Ivanov, Aslan, and Yu Tonghai as examples, which not only shows that my lord has the mind to accept heroes from all over the world. Instead, I want to tell Lord Taiwei that the reason why the three of them can be entrusted with important tasks is because I have an iron law in Huaiyang that no one is allowed to touch, and everyone is born equal. It doesn't matter if you're Han, Mongol, or whatever! In an instant, Chef Lu Wen's voice was high-pitched, and behind every sentence, there was pride written on it.

"The reason why my lord does not look the other way down the Mongols under his rule is because he insists that all men are created equal. Mongols, Han Chinese, and even Semu people can be brothers, friends, and not one side or the other. I Huaiyang employs people, what I value is his talent, loyalty, and whether he works hard. It doesn't matter whose kind of seed he is, what kind of blood he has in his body, and it doesn't depend on what god he believes in! This is a world of difference from Da Yuan, and it can't be confused at all! ”

"How easy is it to say?" Yue Kuo Cha'er didn't have the strength to refute Chef Lu Wen's words, but just shook his head with a sneer, "You Han people can farm, do business, and open workshops. And we Mongolians, in addition to riding horses and knives, can only herd sheep. said that it was equality, but in the end, all the money was earned by you? My people can only grit their teeth and suffer! ”

"Raising sheep is good, but it can make more money than farming!" Chef Lu Wen slowly stood up and retorted with a smile. "If you don't know what you don't know, if you learn it by heart, you will definitely be able to learn it. Lu remembered that the year before last, he secretly spied on the military situation of the imperial court, and the artillery made by the imperial court was heavy and clumsy, and it was easy to explode. And now, the cannons made by the imperial court are not much worse than those made by our Huai'an army a few years ago. Muskets were also made in batches and in a steady stream. ”

"After all, there is still a gap!" Yue Kuocha'er was in a rare mood, smiling and modest.

Dayuan's side, in terms of weapon manufacturing, is indeed catching up quickly. Even in the area of hydraulic workshops, good results have been achieved. Although, most of the things here are stolen from Huaiyang. But at least they show that the Mongols are not much worse than the Han Chinese in terms of learning ability.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, the gap will only get smaller and smaller. And blindly giving care, or eating people from above, will leave a disaster for a thousand years! "Chef Louvin is very calm, and he simply talks about things." I think that back then, 20,000 Mongolian troops could sweep the world. And now, what is the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, Lord Taiwei knows better than Lu! ”

"Hmm!" Yue Kuocha'er's body shook, and she almost vomited blood on the spot. How is the combat effectiveness of the Mongol army still the same as it was at the beginning, and how can the imperial court count on those "volunteers"? Over the years, not only in the East, the Mongol army has been defeated repeatedly. In the Western Regions, and even farther west of the desert, the Mongol army was defeated by its former subordinates.

And this is just a little more than 70 years since it swept the world that year. For more than 70 years, the Mongols enjoyed the worship of the whole world, but for this they paid the price of the great degradation of the entire nation, both in force and in mind. Whether this is a blessing or a curse to be worshipped, who can say clearly?!

Seeing Yue Kuocha'er's depression in his eyes, Lu Wen suddenly raised his voice and concluded loudly: "My lord once said that getting something for nothing is the way to die, not the work of a wise man. Only when people of all ethnic groups treat each other as equals can they live in harmony and recognize each other. On the contrary, the more you artificially create a difference, the greater the difference will be. ”

Without waiting for Yue Kuo Cha'er to express his understanding or refute it, he quickly added, "Before Lord Hama fled from Dadu, he also said to Lu that the total number of Mongolians in the whole world is only five million. With a mere 5 million, enslaved 50 million or more, it is only a matter of time before they are overthrown! And even if the Great Yuan Imperial Court can fight with Huaiyang and lose both, it is destined to die at the hands of other heroes in the future. At that time, I am afraid that no one will be willing to treat your people as equals as my father-in-law! Since Lord Taiwei never forgets that he is a Mongolian, what should he know about the best ending for Mongolians in the world?! ”

After that, Chef Lu Wen smiled and bowed his hand to everyone, "Don't be too long-winded, anyway, what should be said tonight and what shouldn't be said, Lu Mou has explained it clearly." Thank you Lord Taiwei for the banquet, Lu Mou retired first. In the past two days, Lu has lived in the house of the Boyan brothers. Where to go, Lord Taiwei can think slowly! ”

"Wait!" Seeing that the other party said to leave, Yue Kuocha'er instinctively stretched out a hand to stop him. But his fingers were about to touch the sleeve of Lu Wen's shirt, but he suddenly froze in mid-air.

It's not because he is afraid that the other party still has palm thunder hidden in his arms, this time, what made him lose the courage to stay is something that can't be seen or touched, but the power is no less than palm thunder. Equal? When Zhu Tuhu first put it forward, the concept of governance that was regarded as a dream by the whole world still contains such a profound core? The Han Chinese, the Mongols, the Semu people, and all the people of this land were treated equally and treated equally. Such a dream seems so tempting. Even if it feels like it's impossible, you can't help but want to give it a try.

Several other generals were also confused at the moment. If the Great Yuan Dynasty was doomed, there was no doubt that dying at the hands of the Huai'an army was the best ending. At the very least, the Huai'an army will not launch bloody revenge on anyone. At least, under the rule of Zhu Tuhu, no nation will be treated differently.

"Lord Taiwei, do you still have something to tell Lu?" Feeling the inner struggle of Yue Kuo Cha'er and the others, Lu Wen, who had already stepped out of the threshold, turned around with a smile. "There's really no need to worry, Lu said that he lived in Boyan's house, and he lived in Boyan's house. If the lieutenant wants to catch Lu and make a meritorious service, he can send someone over at any time! ”

Yue Kuo Cha'er's face immediately began to turn red and purple again. chased two steps forward, and said in a very low voice: "Boyan has too much hatred in his heart, and he is really not suitable to be an undercover agent." Early tomorrow morning, the old man assigned him an errand to go south to inspect the local defense, and sent him away from Dadu. And Lord Lu, please give a message to Mr. Zhu. Just say, just say"

Looking back at his henchmen and generals, Yue Kuo Cha'er gritted his teeth again, "The merciful virtue of his subordinates back then, Yue Kuo Cha'er is unforgettable." In the future, if there is a time to meet, as long as the chief manager has a certain place, he is willing to go to the soup! ”

"As long as the chief manager does not forget his promise of equality during the Northern Expedition, we are willing to let him drive him and die without turning his heels!" Several high-ranking generals of the forbidden army followed closely behind Yue Kuocha'er and surrendered their hands in unison.

"These few words, Lu will bring them to my father-in-law as soon as possible!" Chef Lu Wen was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface, he was still unwavering, "But my lord will not let anyone die for him, he hopes that everyone will live well, you, me, and everyone in the world will live well!" ”

Alcoholic's note: On the relationship between national independence and equality, and allow the alcoholic to say a few words. National independence is for the sake of not being bullied by foreign races. And since it is intolerable to be bullied by other races, it is probably also a sin for people of the same nation to bully each other. In the case that everyone does not want to be bullied, equality is the easiest and best way to get along between nations and people. And artificially engaging in preferential treatment is artificially creating inequality, which will only make each other more and more alienated!
