After each battle, the leaders of the Red Turban Army had to gather at Zhang Shijie's side. After conquering Cangzhou, Qin Mohuan sat in his place and chatted with a leader next to him about the battle.

Because he participated in the battle to besiege Yamen, Qin Mohuan said a lot, "By the time we attacked, those Mongols had already killed the Han army under them, and the Han concubines at home had also been killed." But he refused to die, but wanted to survive by surrendering. Phew! In the end, I took my brothers and killed them all. ”

"How many concubines do those Mongolian dog officials have?" The guy next to me asked the question.

"How many concubines? I don't know this, but I think there must be twenty or thirty women wearing Han clothes among the people who were killed. ”

Hearing this number, the leader next to Qin Mohuan shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that there are so many women." ”

Only then did Qin Mohuan understand that it turned out that the leader next to him regretted that these women could not be owned by him. For this kind of womanizer, Qin Mohuan doesn't like it. And this guy even has to take over the concubines of the Mongols, which is even more unproductive. Qin Mohuan didn't overdo it, holding back the urge to mock. He knew that he was excited, and he couldn't accept things he couldn't get used to, so he offended a lot of people. And many people even shook their fists. There is no way to change your personality, so you can only hold back and not speak.

At this moment, someone outside shouted, "General Zhang has arrived." ”

Everyone in the venue immediately turned their eyes to the door, and saw General Zhang Shijie of the five bars leading some generals with four bars into the venue. Walking on the passage, Zhang Shijie waved to acquaintances on both sides, looking very good.

The generals sat down on the chairs in the middle, and Zhang Shijie said to everyone: "Everyone, this battle is hard work. I told you before that after this battle, I would discuss with you about joining the Song army. Now is the time to talk to you about this. ”

Hearing that Zhang Shijie was going to talk about such a big matter, all the leaders quieted down. Gongsun Fu, who was sitting next to Qin Mohuan, listened even more seriously, he had heard that the Song Army was preparing to incorporate the Red Turban Army, and Gongsun Fu didn't like this situation.

What Zhang Shijie said was completely consistent with the tone set before, and the Song army did not want to create a new Han army prince, and Zhang Shijie agreed with it very much.

"Everyone, you must know about Zhang Hongfan Zhang's family. I am a member of the Zhang family, who defected to the Great Song Dynasty twenty years ago, and now I am fighting the Mongols with you. Let me tell you what the Han army and the marquis did......"

As a member of the Han Army, Zhang Shijie knows these guys very well and tells them their characteristics clearly. Many of the leaders of the Red Turban Army listened to the majesty of the Han army in the countryside, and their eyes were full of envy. However, Qin Mohuan and the others were all disgusted with their expressions.

After talking about the arrogance of the Han army marquis, Zhang Shijie continued: "In the past few decades, there have been Han army marquis who have acted as tigers, and the Mongols have killed people in Hebei. Our Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, originally had a population of 30 or 40 million, but after the ravages of the Mongols and the Han army, only 6 or 7 million were killed. There are only about four or five million people left in Hebei. Everyone has seen the ferocity of the Mongols in creating no man's land, and they have seen the tragic situation of cities such as Texas. After this battle, Hebei will only have two or three million people left. Zhao Guanjia said that such things must never happen again. Therefore, my Great Song Dynasty will never establish a new Han army prince. ”

Hearing this, the leaders of the Red Turban Army were silent. After being silent for a while, Gongsun Fu plucked up his courage and said, "I am loyal to the Zhao official family, does the Zhao official family think that we will be the same as the previous gang?" ”

As soon as he said this, many people's eyes lit up. This logic is very good, as long as the Zhao official family believes in the integrity of the current leaders of the Red Turban Army, it is natural to re-establish the Han army marquis system. Although Zhang Shijie attacked the Han army marquis from the heart, these leaders were basically not from the Han army, and when they heard such a high position, they heard that the Han army marquis was rampant in the countryside. Everyone thinks that as long as they can have even half of the majesty, this life is enough.

Zhang Shijie decisively rejected the suggestion of these leaders, "Zhao Guanjia said that any guarantee is not as effective as Wang Fa. That's why we want you leaders to join the Song army. As a member of the Song army, obeying orders and listening to commands is the most reliable way. Who is the most reliable in this world, it is naturally the Zhao official family. ”

Qin Mohuan couldn't help but nod slightly. He hadn't seen Zhao Jiaren, but he had only heard of the great martial arts of this official family. But what Qin Mohuan could contact was Zhang Shijie, Liu Pet and other generals under the Zhao official family. Many people in the Red Turban Army wanted to take advantage of more, and they were recognized by Zhang Shijie and other generals. Naturally, I feel a little guilty. But in addition to being shrewd, Zhang Shijie and other generals do things fairly and never bully people. On the battlefield, it is always attacking in front and retreating in the rear. Qin Mohuan respects Zhang Shijie very much. Zhang Shijie and other generals of the Great Song Dynasty have shown such a high level of morality, and the Zhao official family that Zhang Shijie praised so highly must be a Ming Jun.

"Speaking of which, you still can't believe us." There was a chief who started a complaint.

When Zhang Shijie heard this, he felt angry, if he had heard such a public conflict before, he might have been able to order killing. However, what was to be said at this meeting was decided by Liu Pet and other members of the society at the front, and Zhang Shijie was unwilling to oppose it in an all-round way. In addition, the plan taken out by the society also has a prediction of the reaction of the leaders, and so far, Zhang Shijie still has the ease of grasping the situation. So he said: "It's not that you can believe it or not, the Han army marquis is the local Baili marquis, and the local people are in the hands of the Han army marquis." As long as the Han army marquis can hand over the money and grain demanded by the Mongols on time and in quantity, and send troops according to the regulations when the Mongols want to fight, the Mongols do not care what the Han army marquis does locally. The Zhao family didn't want Hebei to be like this. ”

Hearing this explanation, the leader who had just spoken continued: "We still can't be trusted. If you can trust us, let us be local officials. Folks, how can we bully everyone. ”

Although they knew that the purpose of these words was not for the villagers at all, the leaders who envied the prestige of the Han army echoed one after another, "General Zhang, we are here to fight the Mongols because the Mongols are too bullying. If we are bullied like the Mongols, we are still human. ”

"Yes, yes! We will be good to the people. ”

Listening to these words, Zhang Shijie was very disapproving, when it came to the earnestness of his words and the decency of his description, these leaders of the Red Turban Army were completely inferior to the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Oh, it's the Great Song civil official before the surrender of General Lin'an. However, according to Zhang Shijie's observation, such a group of people often do things that violate the law, not to mention these Hebei leaders who are not as good as Zhang Shijie.

Just when Zhang Shijie couldn't help but sneer at these people, he felt that Liu Pet's eyes were staring at him. This is a code, a reminder made when Zhang Shijie is about to lose his temper. Zhang Shijie's words came to his lips at this time, but he still forcibly replaced them with another sentence, "These things can be talked about later." Let's let General Liu talk about the arrangements after that. ”

Liu Pet got the opportunity and immediately took over the conversation and said: "I heard a story before about two brothers seeing a flock of geese. The two brothers discussed, saying whether the geese were fighting for the good food or the cooking for the good food. After discussing, both brothers felt that their best solution was the best, so they quarreled. Before they could come to an end from their quarrel, the geese had already flown away. At present, the Mongols are everywhere in Hebei, all of them are alive and kicking. Let's stop arguing. According to intelligence, Zhang Hongfan has led 20,000 Mongolian troops south, and although more than 10,000 of them are Han troops, they cannot be underestimated. We're going to go out of the city to fight, and we're tired today, so let's go and rest first. If you're willing to play with us, sign up with us tomorrow. If you still feel tired, stay in the city to recuperate. ”

was told by Liu Pet, and all the leaders of the family felt that it was better to delay it at this time, so they agreed for the time being. When the group dispersed, Zhang Shijie couldn't help but say to Liu Chong: "General Liu, you just let me say a few words about them." If I don't talk about them, I feel blocked in my heart. ”

Liu Pet smiled slightly, when it comes to fighting this kind of cold weapon war, Zhang Shijie is indeed very qualified, but Zhang Shijie's thinking seems to be in the era of cold weapons. According to the curriculum of the society, if Zhang Shijie was still in the middle of feudalism and the early stage of centralization, the leaders of the Red Turban Army, whose ideas were older than Zhang Shijie, probably stayed in the nomadic era of Mongolia. So Liu Pet persuaded: "General Zhang, these people are probably unreliable. I know what you're going to say, so why bother. ”

"What do you think I'm going to say?" Zhang Shijie asked angrily.

"You will tell them that if you want to be an official, if someone sues them, they will have to go to court." Liu Pet said helplessly.

After listening to Liu Pet's words, Zhang Shijie smiled: "How did you guess? ”

Liu Pet smiled bitterly in his heart, those words of response were written by Liu Pet, what he couldn't guess. So Liu Chong didn't explain, he continued to persuade: "General Zhang, after these words came out, those people will definitely be angry. Then, General Zhang, after you mocked them a lot, it was indeed very relieved. But doing so can only make the leaders of these Red Turban Army detached. At this time, we are coaxing them, and at least let them do something. Even if you can't fight a war, you can always defend the city. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shijie was not satisfied, he said: "These people will only gain an inch, and if they are allowed to succeed at this time, there will be endless consequences." General Liu, you are still young and don't know the temperament of those people. ”

"Isn't it just that if you have a gun, you are the king of grass." Liu Pet replied decisively.

When Zhang Shijie heard 'If there is a gun, he is the king of grass', he was stunned at first, then nodded heavily, with a smile on his face, and praised loudly: "That's good!" You can say that again! General Liu said this well. ”

Liu Pet remembered that when he first heard this a few months ago, he was also moved by Zhao Guanjia's subtle words. Zhang Shijie is not a member of the society, so he did not have the opportunity to participate in the history course of the society. In the history course, it is told about the rise and fall of dynasties, and the only thing that can be relied on in troubled times is force, and as it is proved again and again that only force can determine life and death and determine fate, everyone will become more and more trusting in force. The so-called "Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox", after tasting the taste of holding the power of life and death, no one is willing to give up power.

According to the historical experience of the past, after the Great Song Dynasty recovered Hebei and lost the common enemy of Mongolia, the contradictions with the Red Turban Army would inevitably erupt. Now it has become the best choice to win over a part of the Red Turban Army to the greatest extent. If the Red Turban Army is completely wiped out, it will leave a bad reputation. As long as there are still some generals of the Red Turban Army in his hands, the Great Song Dynasty will not lose the reputation of unloading and killing donkeys.

Of course, at this time, Liu Pet didn't want Zhang Shijie to be too angry. Those self-motivated guys put a lot of effort into getting into the school. Because I can't join, I'm angry. There are also people who cry bitterly because they can't join. There is no need to stimulate Zhang Shijie too much. So Liu Pet just said: "This is the approval we got from the official when our intelligence department wrote a report to the official." We don't have to worry about so many people who have doubts, we need to choose reliable leaders from among them. ”

After listening to Liu Chong's words, Zhang Shijie said with a smile: "General Liu, Zhao Guanjia said to commend the advanced and encourage the backward. That's because we all think the same thing, and we want everyone to live a good life. But among so many leaders of the Red Turban Army today, I don't dare to say that all of them just want to be as arrogant and domineering as the Han army marquis, at least sixty percent of them think so. I said before that the northerners are not enlightened, and I am talking about them. The Zhao Guanjia will never tolerate these people. ”

Liu Zhong nodded, "General Zhang is right, they do think so. But I think some of them just don't understand the changes in the world, they just don't understand the new way. So we still do our best to explain it to them clearly and clearly. Although some people will definitely rebel, at least some people will listen to our reasoning, at least they will hesitate to wait and see, and even some guys who have rebelled will get lost when the situation is unfavorable. After all, they are Han Chinese, and we can be merciless when we kill the Mongols and traitors, but when we face the Han people, our troops may not be able to stand it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shijie said with a straight face: "General Liu, you are raising tigers for trouble." ”

Liu Pet replied without concessions: "We are all tigers, tigers that are more powerful than the leader of the Red Turban Army. But why did the Zhao Guanjia never send a supervising army, because we have the same philosophy as the Zhao Guanjia. To betray the Zhao family is to betray ourselves. ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned, he really didn't expect this level. Just when Zhang Shijie was about to refute, the guards came to report, "Leader Qin Mohuan came to apply, let us take him with us when we beat Zhang Hongfan." ”

This is good news, although everyone has long predicted that Qin Mohuan is the one who follows Song Jun, but it is still happy to know the exact news. This shows that among the many leaders of the Red Turban Army, there are still people who are willing to completely follow the Great Song Dynasty.
