The Taihang Mountains tend to run from northeast to southwest, between Shanxi Province and the North China Plain. In the 21st century, Beijing, the northern part of Tianjin (north of the Haihe River), as well as the northern region of Hebei and the northern part of Shanxi, are known as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, also known as the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji.

The sixteen states of Yanyun have been the hinterland of China for thousands of years, and there is a saying that 'if you lose the north of the Lingling (all protect the Yanran capital of Yanran), you will be harmed by Yanyun, and if you lose Yanyun, you will be harmed by the Central Plains'. When Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, the predicament of China began.

Now the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty are far superior to that of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Jiaren, the current official family, defeated the Mongols and recaptured Hebei and Youzhou. Although it has not completely recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, it has also greatly relieved the Central Plains. When the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty publicized the reopening of the Central Plains, they could assure the people of the Great Song Dynasty from the overall situation that it was safe to go to the Central Plains to open up. Because the Hulu first faced the powerful Song army in Hebei and Youzhou.

Hao Ren Wanhu sneezed. This is probably not because someone in the royal court thousands of miles away mentions Hao Ren's telepathy, but because the temperature in Shanxi, west of the Taihang Mountains, is lower than in Hebei. Rubbing his nose, Hao Ren Wanhu put away the newspapers that he had collected with great difficulty, which were all old news not long after Song Jun had just recovered Youzhou a few months ago, and it still gave him a great sense of satisfaction.

For people like Hao Ren, knowledge and the latest situation in the world are more precious than jewelry. Even in Mongolia, which was on the defeated side, Hao Ren had a deep respect for the construction strategy that the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty maintained at all times. Recalling that when he saw Zhao Guan's house, Hao Ren could always think of the image of pulling up his trouser legs and going to the ground. Hao Ren also felt very surprised, such a person could shock the world, but he didn't feel inappropriate at all.

There were also stacks of newspapers in front of him, all of which were brought by the remnants of Dayuan's intelligence officers when they retreated to Shanxi. Hao Ren wanted to read it in one go, but he couldn't help it. Except that at this time, his men had already gathered to prepare for a meeting, and such a spiritual delicacy was eaten at once, which meant that there was nothing to add to it for a long time. Hao Ren didn't want to put himself in such a difficult state.

When they arrived in the other courtyard, the generals of the government soldiers all got up to greet them. After taking his seat, Hao Ren asked the Dayuan spies who had fled to Shanxi with great difficulty to tell the latest situation.

"Everywhere the Southern Barbarians went, they arrested and killed the local Han army marquis. North of the Yellow River, the corpses that have been killed by them are scattered all over the field. After killing the marquis of the Han army, these southern barbarians began to take the initiative against the government soldiers and the ground. As long as they used to work in the imperial court, they were all killed......" The spies described the horrific situation in Hebei.

The gang that fled to Shanxi with Hao Ren were all Han army marquises, government soldiers, and landlords. Hearing the bloody massacre of the Great Song Dynasty, they felt happy while being indignant. A few months ago, before Hao Ren decisively left, he said that if he continued to stay in Hebei and fight to the death, he would probably die in battle soon under the suppression of the Song army.

The Song army fought very methodically, they first sent troops to block the entrance of Taihang Ba Yan in Hebei, and then built a fortress there. The tall watchtower in the fortress is more than ten zhang high, and any wind and grass is clearly seen by the sentries on the watchtower. The Mongol spies had learned the lesson of blood, and they no longer dared to approach, but could only observe from afar.

After the general situation is finished, it will be the turn of the people to speak. "Lord Wang, we might as well stay in Shanxi. Although it is barren, there is also a lot of land to cultivate. Why do you have to go tens of thousands of miles to the west? Hao Ren Wanhu's deputy Jiang Guang was expecting in his tone.

Listening to this suggestion, many lieutenants nodded in agreement. When they hurried to Shanxi, these people really wanted to have wings and be able to fly thousands of miles away. In reality, they didn't run thousands of miles, but after running out for a few hundred miles, they never wanted to travel through the mountains and mountains again.

"Can you know the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" Hao Ren's tone was heavy.

After hearing this, these guys from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun shook their heads one after another, which made Hao Ren feel very sad. In the Great Song Dynasty, the subordinates of the Zhao official family only had to look at the newspaper to know what the land that the Great Song Dynasty had not been able to own for hundreds of years was called, and what kind of influence it would have on the Great Song Dynasty. The guy from the Sixteen States of Yanyun didn't know the value and significance of the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

Hao Ren Wanhu could only tell these people about the scope of the sixteen states of Yanyun first, and then introduced the significance of the sixteen states of Yanyun. Many of Hao Ren's subordinates are not completely unaware, and those who know this term are all educated, so they dare not show it in front of Hao Ren's ten thousand households. After listening to Hao Ren's story, these people admired Hao Ren more and more. Whether it is the depth or breadth of knowledge, they all know that they are not as good as Hao Ren Wanhu.

After finishing speaking, Hao Ren didn't care about those fools, and said to those who probably understood: "As long as the Song Kingdom kills all the people of Hebei, it will march into Yanyun." What to do then? ”

Everyone fled from Hebei, because Hao Ren did not deliberately force them to come, so none of these people said that they would fight with the Song army in Shanxi. Those who can express their stance like this have chosen to stay in Hebei.

Hao Ren Wanhu looked at these people and said in a heavy tone, "Some of you said that you would stay in Shanxi, some said that you would go further west, and some said that you would go north into Mongolia. No matter where it is, it's someone else's territory. The Song State seized Hebei, and it was only a matter of time before it got involved in Shanxi. Whether to the west or to the north, it is the territory of Mongolia. Those lands are lords. We will always be under the fence in these places, and there will be no place for us to stand. If that's what you're trying to do, then I have nothing to say. With the credit of my current work, I ask the Great Khan for a piece of pasture, and I will definitely be able to take everyone to graze the pastures. ”

When it comes to grazing, none of these people answers. If they had been willing to be herdsmen, they would have chosen to follow Kublai Khan a long time ago. They chose to follow Hao Ren Wanhu because these people insisted on the tradition of farming.

"...... here," Hao Ren carefully pulled out a yellowed newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty and pointed his finger at the Rus' Great Plain, "There is a vast land here, and there is no population. When we get here, we can start farming. Although it is cold here, you can harvest one crop a year. I promise you twenty acres of land to each of you, and you can cultivate as you like. But you also have to follow me there, and only in the West can we build a truly good life on that land. ”

The Mongol court never promised these Han landlords any good days. In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, the group of people attending the meeting all belonged to the ranks of traitors, whether it was propaganda or practice, the Great Song Dynasty was never tolerant of traitors. Even before, there were people from the traitor family who turned into Song people by defecting to the Great Song Dynasty, but the door to such opportunities has been closed.

After a long period of silence, the big landlord Wei Jingwang asked, "But I don't know what kind of good day Lord Hao Ren thinks it is." ”

"When I get to the west, I will rebuild the imperial examination and use it to win scholars." Hao Ren replied briskly. For a long time, Hao Ren has been thinking about what sinicization is, and if sinicization is useful, why Mongolia was beaten so badly. If sinicization is useless, why did the Great Song Dynasty suddenly flourish. It wasn't until he read the 'First Empire of the Han and Tang Dynasties' and the 'Analysis of the Feudal System' repeatedly told in the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty that Hao Ren Wanhu suddenly realized.

It turned out that Mongolia was still in the eyes of the Han people to be extremely backward, unless it was a feudal system. The Sinicization in the eyes of people who represent China like the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty is the system of permanent civil officials, the imperial examination system, and the land state-owned system.

In Zhao Guanjia's description, the Juntian system owned by the Tang Dynasty was the last effort of land state ownership, and as private land ownership completely overwhelmed land state ownership, the Tang Dynasty changed from a producer to a contractor of the tax system, and the Tang Dynasty collapsed and went to extinction.

With a clear line of thought, Hao Ren Wanhu told it simply and clearly. Although some of these descriptions come from Zhao Jiaren, a larger part comes from Xunzi. Since he understood Zhao Jiaren, Hao Ren found that he finally understood Xunzi. If you go through a lot of hardships, the end result is just to go from one Mongolia to another, and the arduous journey in the future becomes worthless. It is more valuable to give up dignity and kneel in front of Zhao Guan's family to beg for forgiveness than to live in barbarism.

People west of Taihang Mountain are discussing the future, and Marshal Zhang Hongfan, east of Taihang Mountain, is fighting hard to live until tomorrow. If he can't repel the enemy in front of him, he won't be able to see the sun the next day. Marshal Zhang Hongfan was unlucky, because his subordinates were natives of Hebei, and they were reluctant to leave their homeland. Because the generals are members of the Zhang family, they don't want to leave their hometown. Therefore, the marshal was neither able to keep up with the Marshal Boyan who returned to the north, nor was he able to join up with Hao Ren Wanhu who returned from the killing and marched westward.

A few months have passed, and Zhang Hongfan's army, which originally had more than 20,000 people, has only 1,000 men left. Zhang Hongfan looked at the enemy of more than 1,000 people on the opposite side, and it was Li Pu's evil Li Fangfang who was challenging Zhang Hongfan's army. Having seen the martial arts of Li Fangfang, a female streamer, no one in Zhang Hongfan's army dared to come out to fight at this time.

Zhang Shijie did not participate in the final extermination of his own brothers, and when he was sure that Zhang Hongfan's defeat was decided, he turned to participate in the sweep of other forces in Hebei. At this time, his son Zhang Jun was begging bitterly, "Daddy, just let your uncle go." ”

"I ...... It has been ordered that as long as Zhang Jiaken surrenders, when we break through Zhangjiazhuang, a piece of paper with the word surrender written on the door will be pasted, and the Red Turban Army will definitely not harm them. Do the people in Zhangjiazhuang know about this? Zhang Shijie asked other questions.

"Uncle has already informed the Zhang family of this. He didn't hide it. Zhang Jun replied, "Dad, I know that there is a big misunderstanding between you and your uncle. He didn't go south back then to get along with his father, the Mongolian Khan had an order, how could he not go. ”
