Zhao Jiaren Zhao Guanjia was born in 280 of the Great Song Dynasty and became the governor of Putian County in 294 of the Great Song Dynasty. Fourteen-year-old Zhao Guanjia has to do everything himself. As Zhao Guanjia's position became higher and higher, and there were more and more subordinates, his work became more and more entrusted to his subordinates.

In the year 320 of the Great Song Dynasty, when Zhao Guanjia was 40 years old, he was only responsible for making strategic decisions about the Three Buddhas, and the corresponding work was completed by the corresponding departments.

This does not mean that Zhao Guanjia has since lived a leisurely life of just issuing strategic orders every day, for example, now Zhao Guanjia has a report submitted by Kaifeng Governor Wen Tianxiang on his desk.

“…… Mongolia ravaged Henan, so much so that Henan was uninhabited for thousands of miles. At the same time, the canal does not exist, and the transshipment is difficult. Duanping into Luo, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is difficult to continue. With the heroism of the officials, the battle of the Yellow River cannot be fully meritorious......"

Wen Tianxiang has a fierce personality and speaks very straight. Zhao Jiaren didn't hate this, but his articles were full of literati discourses that lacked a data basis, which made Zhao Jiaren feel very uncomfortable. After reading this article, it is more pragmatic to describe Zhao Jiaren's inability to pursue with all his strength after the Battle of the Yellow River. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to pursue back then, but he didn't dare to pursue with all his might. He was one of the hundreds of thousands, and after a long march, construction, and fighting, his troops were very tired. The Yuan army is in Hebei and other places, and it is not a problem to kill one day earlier or one day later. The elite losses of the Song army cannot be made up for after they are lost. Be cautious.

The main meaning of this piece is that before Wen Tianxiang arrived in Henan, he felt that he could restore local production and increase taxes relatively quickly. However, after arriving in Henan, he found that Henan was devastated by Mongolia and sparsely populated, even if it had a large amount of land, there was no way to use it. In addition, the Yellow River has been submerged in the north for two years, and the local natural environment is very bad. Therefore, Wen Tianxiang said frankly that in the future Northern Expedition, he may not be able to rely on obtaining stable grain from Henan.

Zhao Jiaren fought in Henan, and the situation he saw was similar to what Wen Tianxiang described. The biggest problem that led to Henan's inability to develop was safety, and Zhao Jiaren could not guarantee that the Song army could hold such a long Yellow River. Everyone is not stupid, and they have not reached the point where there is no other way but to go to Henan, and their own lives are still very important.

In order to make Henan safe, the Great Song Dynasty wanted to recapture Hebei. In order to seize Hebei, about 300,000 troops had to be sent into Hebei to fight, and each person would have one and a half catties of food every day, and three hundred days of war would mean 145 million catties of food.

Hoarding 145 million catties of grain is difficult, and what makes it even more difficult is that the storage and transportation of these foods will continue to change. In fact, there must be about 300,000 logistics personnel involved in the war, which means that the food supply must reach 300 million catties.

In order to collect such a huge amount of grain, the best solution is to restore Henan's agricultural production to the maximum extent.

This kind of head-to-end logic looks ridiculous, but it is a certain logical reality. Many times the reason why a bright future cannot be realized is because of this seemingly absurd, but really existential reason.

The official family of the Great Song Dynasty was arranging future wars, and the Great Yuan was not idle. Hao Ren Wanhu said respectfully to Kublai Khan in the palace: "Your Majesty, I have already informed the government soldiers that after the training exercise, let them go home......

Speaking of this, Hao Ren Wanhu couldn't go on, and he saw that Kublai Khan's face had become unhappy. At this moment, the marshal Boyan spoke: "Your Majesty, we can't be as untrustworthy as Nanban. ”

It can be seen that Marshal Boyan's words moved Kublai Khan, his face changed for a moment, and he said stupidly: "Give the order, and let the soldiers go back after receiving the reward." ”

After listening to His Majesty Kublai Khan's words, Hao Ren Wanhu felt that the burden of 10,000 catties on his shoulders had been unloaded. At this moment, Hao Ren heard Kublai Khan's dissatisfaction and said, "Hao Ren, what do you mean by that look?" ”

The Great Khan is 65 years old this year and has fully entered the age of old age. When the old man spoke in such a reproachful tone, Hao Ren could only reply: "I am just a little anxious, please don't blame the Great Khan." ”

Kublai Khan said dissatisfiedly: "What is there to hurry. Did you let the government soldiers become Tanma Red Army, and then wronged them? ”

Hao Ren had read the full text of Han Feizi's "Difficult to Say" and knew that the existence of the monarch was so unreasonable most of the time. What's more, Kublai Khan has already made concessions, and Hao Ren doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Seeing Hao Ren bow his head, Kublai Khan did not chase after him. There are many things to do at this court meeting, and it is not an unshakable decision of Kublai Khan to turn the army into a red army of Tanma. let Hao Ren go.

When the court meeting ended, Hao Ren, who was uncomfortable, left the court. However, he did not dare to trust Kublai Khan's integrity just like that. It wasn't until the eleventh day of the first lunar month that all the soldiers from all over the country embarked on the road back to their hometowns, and Hao Renwanhu's heart relaxed. Returning home with palpitations, entering the bedroom door, Hao Ren lay directly on the bed, and the whole body felt as if it had been hollowed out.

Kublai Khan had a high opinion of the soldiers, and after a month of training, they showed more horsemanship than Kublai Khan imagined. So there was the fact that Kublai Khan wanted the government soldiers to visit the Ma Chi army. Fortunately, Hao Ren persuaded the head of the household, and Marshal Boyan helped by the side, which finally temporarily stopped Kublai Khan's impulse to directly integrate this group of cavalry into the Great Khan's personal army.

Because of the cold weather, Bao Xiqiao took the children to continue the winter in Xiaotangshan. After lying down for a while, Wan Hu decided to go to Xiaotangshan to reunite with his wife and children. If you continue to stay here, it's too scary.

As soon as he got up, he saw his relatives walking this way. didn't wait for Hao Ren Wanhu to praise his relatives in his heart for being good at observing words and feelings, and he began to report from afar, "Master, the handsome Boyan is here!" ”

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Immediately invite Marshal Boyan to the main house!" ”

Looking at the back of his entourage, Hao Ren felt a little strange in his heart, why did the handsome Boyan come here? Strange is strange, Hao Ren has no intention of not wanting to receive it. Marshal Boyan has helped Hao Ren a lot in the matter of the soldiers, and now it is very necessary to continue to communicate with Marshal Boyan to see what he means in this matter.

The two important ministers of the Great Yuan met, and Marshal Boyan spoke first: "I am very impressed by the good beginning and the end of the ten thousand households this time. ”

Receiving such a high evaluation, Hao Ren Wanhu was a little embarrassed and laughed a few times. In fact, he also felt that it was not easy for him to withstand the pressure from the crown prince Zhenjin, to cooperate effectively with the right prime minister Ahma, to let the local government take action, and to carefully judge the results of the Yingyang Mansion generals sent by Mongolia.

After dealing with so many things, Hao Ren didn't expect that his biggest supporter, Kublai Khan, would also start to be interested in it. In the Mongol culture, cavalry had a very high status. In the eyes of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, the soldiers of the government are the firewood stacks blown down by the strong wind, and they are all my goods. When you see such a good soldier, you will first carry them into your own basket.

However, one of the core of the military system is that they serve for a limited period of time, and they only assemble to fight in times of war, and return to their hometowns on weekdays. In this way, these families do not feel that they have lost their children. If Kublai Khan was allowed to take away what he saw when he saw it, it would become a conscription of the Red Army to explore the horses. The Great Khan may have been satisfied with a large number of cavalry, but the military system would soon fall apart because of the destruction of its foundations.

"Thank you for your help." Hao Ren said.

"Just one or two words can help 10,000 households, of course I am willing to help." Marshal Boyan said briefly.

After thanking the marshal again, Hao Ren asked, "But I don't know what the marshal has ordered here?" ”

Marshal Boyan said: "Now the Mongolian naval army is basically useless, if these people become infantry troops, I want Wanhu to help rectify it." ”

When Hao Ren heard this, his heart became very sad. He himself was born in the water army, and he didn't expect the water army to be removed from the sequence of the Great Yuan Army so soon. But there was no way, Hao Ren had long known that this kind of thing was only a matter of time. The sea of Dayuan was completely surrounded by the Song army, and the warships could not go out to sea at all. Because the inland river navy returned Xiangyang and was occupied south of the Yellow River by the Song State, there was no room for the navy to be used.

That's the case, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh: "I will leave a 10,000 households for the water army, if the water army is dispersed, it will not be easy to form it again." Although we can't get out of the Bohai Sea, we still have Goryeo. When it comes to critical moments, it is not impossible to use. ”

"Hmm. If Wanhu is willing to manage this time, such things will naturally be decided by Wanhu. Marshal Boyan expressed his support.

Hao Ren didn't mean to continue to meddle in the affairs of the government soldiers, he asked: "The affairs of the government soldiers, I am ready to return to the Great Khan." If the Great Khan agrees, I can deal with the affairs of the trolls. ”

"Naturally, I will also talk to the Great Khan." Marshal Boyan expressed his cooperation with Hao Ren Wanhu.

After receiving such a guarantee, Hao Ren Wanhu also felt relieved. However, after sending off the handsome Boyan, Hao Ren began to feel uncomfortable again. If Hao Ren didn't continue to preside over the matter, how would those who took over deal with the government military system? As long as the people who take over do not dare to confront Kublai Khan, and wait until next year when more government soldiers participate in the school parade and training, the Great Khan will probably give in if he says, "Integrate the government soldiers into my own army", and the successor will probably give in. And then it's the end of the government military system. Hao Ren's hard work came to naught......

It seems that he has to be like Boyan Dashuai, find someone who can reassure him. Hao Ren made his own judgment. If you slap your ass like this and leave, it is better not to support the government soldier system from the beginning. Since we have supported the government military system from the beginning, we must fight to the end until we do our best.
