Chapter 48: Taihang East and West (2)

Zhang Shijie stared at his son's face, trying to figure out whether this rabbit cub was stupid or caring. All he saw was a young face flustered by too much concern, and he couldn't tell much from these expressions.

Leaning back in the chair, Zhang Shijie said angrily: "The official family of the Great Song Dynasty wants Zhang Hongfan's head, how can I not listen." ”

"Dad is a heavy minister of the Great Song Dynasty, why don't you plead with the official family of the Great Song Dynasty and ask him to spare your uncle." Zhang Jun hurriedly suggested.

Zhang Shijie's heart was originally full of warmth for his son, but after hearing this, he only felt a malice coming from his heart, and he had the urge to beat the little beast. But after all, this is his own son, thinking that he has not taken care of his son for so many years, Zhang Shijie still regained his loving heart, "I can become an important minister because I am loyal to the official family, and the enemy of the official family is my enemy." I became the general of the Great Song Dynasty because I was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty were my enemies. Mongolia owes so much blood debt to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has made a list, and those on the list will never be pardoned. Zhang Hongfan is extremely high on the list. Because I am a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is willing to pardon the Zhang family. You just don't talk nonsense anymore. ”

It can be seen that Zhang Jun does not accept such a statement in his heart. But he couldn't find a reason to refute it. Now Zhang Shijie is also a member of the society, and one of the several compulsory courses in the society is basic logic. The logic is not clear, and it will be very difficult to discuss the topic. Zhang Jun is so old and experienced, he can't find a reason to refute Zhang Shijie.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jun said forcefully: "If my father must save my uncle, there must be a way." ”

"I can't save him even if I put all my life on the line. You're dead to this heart. Go down! Zhang Shijie said coldly.

Looking at his son's unyielding back, Zhang Shijie was disappointed in his heart. He has been mixed up in the Great Song Dynasty Power Center for many years, but he has no right to speak, and the people he has seen are first-class people. Seeing that a hero like Zhao Jiaren had already shown amazing talent at a young age, and his son was still so uncompetitive at such a talented age, it was really disappointing for Zhang Shijie.

Although there are disappointments, Zhang Shijie is unwilling to think about it anymore. If you think deeply, Zhang Shijie will blame himself. If he had the opportunity to take his son back then, and wanted to make friends with those talents, Zhang Jun would be stronger than now......

Letting go of meaningless imagination, Zhang Shijie put his mind back to the things in front of him. One of the tasks of the Red Turban Army was to clean Hebei, and after hard work, the whole of Hebei had begun to settle down. But there's such a list in front of me, a nasty list. The people on the list were all once part of the former Red Turban Army, the ones who were abandoned before the Battle of Dadu.

A considerable number of these people did not run back home, some of them became bandits for the king, some went to the house of the Han army marquis to become vassals, and some did not know what to think in their heads, so they ran away to the Mongols. No matter which middle school it is, in the eyes of the Great Song Society, it needs to be killed. The troubled times have turned them into people who believe that the troubled times and the killing will continue endlessly, and these people are disturbing the world.

For example, Qin Mohuan's former second master, Sun Fu, ran to take refuge with the owner of Zhujiazhuang after leaving the Red Turban Army. In the face of the extermination of the Red Turban Army, Gongsun Fu not only did not surrender, but also happily threw himself into the battle against the Red Turban Army. After the Red Turban Army occupied the surface of Zhujiazhuang, Gongsun Fu and the gang in Zhujiazhuang were bored in the tunnel for several days, and finally came out and surrendered.

Zhang Shijie thought that Gongsun Fu would be executed on the spot, but he didn't expect that there would be people in the Red Turban Army who would intercede for them again. Qin Mohuan, such a favored guy, showed his weak side, and even begged for forgiveness for Gongsun Fu's capital crime.

Sighing in his heart, Zhang Shijie picked up the pen and ticked all the people on the list who had been determined to be the Red Turban Army. Although there are some regrets in his heart, Zhang Shijie's hand is still firm and powerful.

The mass execution of prisoners cannot be decided by Zhang Shijie alone, nor by the upper echelons of the Red Turban Army. The Hebei Theater Command in Dadu received a telegram from Zhang Shijie that the latest execution list had been sent and the headquarters was requested to review it after receiving it. After reading the telegram, Admiral Li Yun stretched his waist greatly, and now that it is August, after the execution of this execution list, the work in the last few months of this year can be transferred to the winter recuperation period.

In a happy mood, Admiral Li Yun walked out into the courtyard. Hebei is much drier than Jiangnan, and the heat has receded in August of the Song calendar, which is very dry. Even throughout the summer, a patch of shade can give a cool feeling. If you don't take into account dryness, it's a beauty that Southerners can't imagine.

Sitting down on a stool in the shade of a tree, Admiral Li Yun lit a cigarette. As soon as he was halfway through the cigarette, Master Zhu Hongwu walked up to Li Yun and sat down, and the two sat facing each other and smoked cigarettes. Zhu Hongwu was obviously impatient, he spoke first: "Commander, everyone is tired during this time. Why don't we organize a hot spring bath? ”

"Hot springs?" Li Yun was obviously a little tempted.

"From the big ...... Dozens of miles north of Youzhou, there is a place called Xiaotang Mountain. There are hot springs there. Our troops are basically southerners, take a hot spring, so that everyone can relax. ”

"Relaxation will have to wait until the enemy in Hebei is basically solved."

"Now that forts have been built in the northern passes, we can just use the reason to commend the troops to gather the troops to Youzhou. In fact, we only need to take care of the north, and the plains in the south don't have to worry so much at all. Or let's send a telegram to the official family and ask him to send someone to take charge of the garrison in the south. ”

After listening to this, Li Yun agreed very much. He doesn't like to take on too much responsibility. If the plain area in the south could have been handed over to other units earlier, the responsibility of the Hebei Theater could have been greatly reduced. Li Yun asked tentatively: "Old Zhu, do you think the official family can agree to reorganize the Hebei Theater into the Yanyun Theater?" ”

"I think it's good." Zhu Hongwu replied quite simply.

With the support of others, Li Yun is also much more stable in his heart. After smoking, Li Yun returned to the office and held a meeting. The news that the troops would take turns to return to Youzhou for repairs was approved by everyone. The proposal to reduce the area of the Hebei Theater was opposed by the majority of the people. Li Yun wanted the opponents to give a reason, but the reasons he got were vague. Amid all the ambiguity, opponents feel that 'a reduction in the size of the theater means something has been lost'.

Li Yun looked down on these guys in his heart. His father Li Hongjun followed Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family to work hard at sea for more than ten years, and when talking about his experience, Li Hongjun was very sorry for being greedy when he was young, and he said to Li Hongjun more than once, "If I could be less greedy back then, I would only take over what I could do." I think the achievements will be even greater now. ”

When he had an idea, Li Hongjun persuaded: "Our job is to fight Hulu." Now there are few Hulu in Hebei, and it will be cleared up by next year. What are we doing in such a big Hebei theater. Waiting to take on those tedious tasks? ”

"Commander, how many tedious things can be." Commander Song Baoguo implicitly expressed his disagreement.

"There are bandits in the area, shouldn't we send troops? If there is any trouble, we are afraid that we will all be dispatched. If this is the only point, it would be fine, and how much surveying work our troops have undertaken, the officials have long explained that Hebei is state-owned land, and the surveying work will definitely be handed over to the troops at that time. There are only so many of us, and the matter of recovering Yanyun will definitely be borne by us. With such a great achievement in front of us, why should we bother with it. ”

The infrastructure construction of the Great Song Dynasty all started with measurement, which was a thankless task. The senior commanders attending the meeting all started from the grassroots level and thought clearly about this joint, and they all immediately chose to support Li Yun's proposal.

Soon, the suggestion was sent to Hangzhou as a telegram. It's just a sentence of 'we want to reduce the area of the Hebei Theater', and there is definitely no way to fool Zhao Guan's family, so the Hebei Theater wrote a very good expository essay. It describes the battles that took place throughout Hebei for such a period of time, in which hundreds of Han army princes were eradicated and a large amount of land was firmly controlled. At this time, all units in the Hebei Theater began to prepare for an offensive against Yanyun and Liaodong in the north. Being responsible for the defense of the entire Hebei is beyond the capabilities of the Hebei theater. So I asked for the formation of a new Yanyun theater.

The Ministry of War was baffled by such a request, and Zhao Jiaren didn't want to make trouble for Li Yun. It's a very difficult thing to get a group of guys who believe that 'more is better, big is beautiful' to understand the true meaning of what they can. But what's more troublesome is that although it can't be done, many people actually know through learning that 'people who practice this concept are better and more progressive', and maybe some people will indeed learn to be advanced, but jealousy is inevitable. Zhao Jiaren himself was jealous of others, and he got rid of this state of mind only after he had a place to stand on his own. He knew how terrible jealousy was.

While the people in the Ministry of War were discussing the feasibility of establishing the Hebei Military Region without grasping the key points, Zhao Jiaren was thinking about how to establish a new phase of study, and the theme was how to face jealousy.

It's easy to set up a military district on paper, make a decision from above, and then draw a map of the region. The paper work of creating a military district was completed. If this paper thing is handed over below, it will definitely be scolded. Because this design is full of all kinds of irrationalities. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren was not at ease at all about the initial statement of the Ministry of War, he just left after listening to the report.

Li Yun, who was far away in Youzhou City, didn't care about this, plus Li Yun himself, two generations of the Li family worked for Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family. For the Zhao official family, Li Yun has special confidence. At this time, he was carrying out the work of preparing the troops for commendation and trimming. By next year, the Song army would continue to drive Hu Lu north. Yehuling, the name I talked about in military class, is a big target.
