Wen Tianxiang and other members of the head office of the society rushed back to Lin'an, and the meeting on the Jiangxi issue was finally officially convened.

Compared with the events in his hometown, Wen Tianxiang was obviously more interested in the latest briefing on major events at the beginning of his meeting, and after listening to Sima Kao, who was in charge of reading the newspaper today, read a message, he asked in surprise: "Mongolia has really changed its name to Yuan?" ”

When Zhao Jiaren was in his last life, Kublai Khan changed the name of the country to "Da Yuan" in 1271, taking the meaning of "Da Zai Qianyuan" in the Book of Changes. However, the situation in the previous life was completely different from this one. The last time Kublai Khan faced the Great Song Dynasty, it was almost smooth, and even if the battle of Ezhou was not a complete victory, it was calm in advance and retreat.

Kublai Khan's life in this life was not so easy, and the battle of Ezhou lost more than 10,000 yuan. After that, although Zhao Jiaren did not give Mongolia a fatal blow, he also captured Zhigu Village, which is 300 miles away from Dadu.

Zhao Jiaren did not tell these things, he just confirmed: "The Mongolian ambassador of Mongolia in Lin'an brought the Mongolian envoy to the Ministry of Rites and officially informed him of the matter. I don't think Kublai Khan would be bored enough to lie about such things. ”

"Did the Mongolian envoy say why he changed the name of the country to Yuan?" Wen Tianxiang was very surprised by this.

"It's not meta. It's Dayuan. Sima Kao said with some disdain.

"Da Yuan?" Wen Tianxiang was a little confused, "The country name is Dayuan?" ”

"Yes." Sima Kao nodded, "I read it very clearly just now. ”

Half of the members of the society are cadres, and they don't understand this problem very well. However, the other half of the officials showed surprised and even mocking expressions. The Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty, the word 'Da' in this is an honorific title, and the country names of these dynasties are 'Han, Tang, and Song'.

In an atmosphere of contempt, Xu Yuanzhi said: "Originally, I thought that Mongolia was barbarian enough, but I didn't expect that compared with Dayuan, Mongolia still looks elegant." ”

These words aroused a strong resonance among the jinshi, and just as everyone nodded violently, they heard Xu Yuanzhi continue: "Da Yuan, Da Yuan. Mu monkey and crown! ”

Burst! Sima Kao, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, squirted out a small half of the tea. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and when he raised his hand, he covered his mouth and nose, holding his breath, and finally didn't choke on himself. Even so, Sima Kao felt very uncomfortable, only to feel that the tea was about to squirt out of his ears under the pressure of a boiling smile.

The other jinshi who did not drink water were amused to laugh out loud. They were also bluffed by the country name of 'Yuan' at first, and a good country name was added to the name of 'big', just as Xu Yuanzhi said, showing the effect of a monkey and a crown.

Zhao Jiaren laughed a few times, he felt that Xu Yuanzhi's words were really appropriate for the situation. However, Zhao Jiaren failed to laugh, he may have saved the Great Song Dynasty from the tragic ending in history, but this does not mean that the status quo can satisfy Zhao Jiaren.

Da Yuan didn't just send people to inform Mongolia that the name of the country had been changed. During the Song army's westward expedition, they killed more than 20,000 Mongol troops, and although they killed tens of thousands, they still captured more than 10,000. Da Yuan wanted to exchange prisoners with the Great Song.

The members of the Society were rather slow to react to the news, at least no one dared to speak out. The cadres came from the south, and their relatives and friends were in the new army. The new army was victorious in every battle against the Mongols, and it was always a victory in the final occupation of the entire battlefield. Even if there are dead and wounded, they can see people alive and corpses.

However, for the guys from Jinshi, even if they were from Fujian, it is inevitable that some relatives and friends will be lost or disappeared in the storm of Mongolia's southern invasion. However, the jinshi did not speak, they just continued to listen at this time. In the midst of this silence, the meeting went straight to the point. Zhao Jiaren gave a brief introduction to the latest situation in Jiangxi. After introducing the situation, Zhao Jiaren asked, "But I don't know what everyone thinks." ”

Although Zhao Jiaren wanted to see everyone's attitude, the elites of the society did not give Zhao Jiaren a chance, and Sima Kao asked bluntly: "Is Taiwei going to suppress or fuge?" ”

Zhao Jiaren looked at the eyes of everyone in the society, and could only show his attitude, "For the people, I naturally want to appease them." I don't have a good impression of the feudal sect. ”

"Captain. Mingjiao flourished in Jiangnan and other places. Fang La is from Mingjiao, and Zhong Xiang Yang Qi is from Mingjiao. Now this Du Ke is still Mingjiao. Wen Tianxiang, who is familiar with history, said.

Zhao Jiaren has also done some homework in this regard. Combined with some understanding of later generations, Zhao Jiaren also has his own opinions. Although the name Mingjiao soon disappeared in the Ming Dynasty, the 'White Lotus Sect', which inherited many of the ideas of the Ming Sect, continued to exist until the founding of New China. A certain female Guanyin in the White Lotus Sect is very different from Guanyin in Buddhism, and the female Guanyin of the White Lotus Sect wants to lead the followers to 'sweep away the darkness and establish a paradise of light'.

What Wen Tianxiang said did not go beyond Zhao Jiaren's understanding, and Wen Tianxiang finally gave his opinion, "I think that although the imperial court is unwilling to kill more, since the people of the Ming Sect have already raised troops, I am afraid that they will still have to fight." ”

After Wen Tianxiang finished speaking, Xu Yuanzhi also asked to speak. He recounted the traditions of the Great Song Dynasty. According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the first evil of rebellion must be cut off, and only those that cannot be eradicated will be implemented, so there are very few cases of Zhao'an.

For example, although the number of participants reached 400,000 at one point, the time lasted for 6 years. In the end, it was suppressed by Yue Fei's army. Zhong Xiangyang was killed, and tens of thousands of people in the rebel army who were resolutely unwilling to surrender were also killed. Yue Fei not only suppressed the uprising, but also burned dozens of water villages on the shores of Dongting Lake, displacing large numbers of local people.

Zhao Jiaren listened quietly while watching the reactions of the attendees. Yue Fei brutally suppressed the uprising of Zhong Xiang Yang Mi, and Zhao Jiaren studied in history textbooks. This was regarded as a historical stain on Yue Fei, and it also made Zhao Jiaren, who was in junior high school at the time, see the real multifaceted nature of historical figures.

Looking at the participants of this group of scholars now, each of them is a very powerful person, and this 'academy' that is completely outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court has no less ability than the imperial court where there is now Empress Dowager Yang. This is also the result of Zhao Jiaren's own efforts to pull up forces. Now seeing that these people agree with the tough attitude told by Xu Yuanzhi, this makes Zhao Jiaren have to regret it. These people do not seem to be on the side of ordinary people.

After Xu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but speak, "Everyone, I now think that when these people rebelled, they didn't want to rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, they wanted to rebel against Mongolia. So I still hope that when the officers and soldiers arrive, these people can recognize the situation and go home. ”

"Hah!" Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even though Zhao Jiaren has always encouraged himself with 'humility', Zhao Jiaren still felt very bad in his heart when he heard someone so frankly express contemptuous opposition.

After laughing, the other person also felt that this expression was inappropriate, and he quickly got up and apologized, "Captain, you can't help but be too soft-hearted. ”

Zhao Jiaren saw that it was Li Boyu. This Li Boyu supported Song Duzong in Zhao Jiaren's previous life, and Song Duzong was ready to let Li Boyu be the ruler, and then died of an inexplicable violent illness. In this life, Li Boyu cooperated very well with Zhao Jiaren, who was a cotton worker, when he was the prefect of Qingyuan Mansion, and Li Boyu also strengthened cooperation with Zhao Jiaren during the retreat. Now he is considered to be a complete 'Zhao Party'. Even so, Zhao Jiaren was actually worried that this guy was colluding with Empress Dowager Yang.

Regardless of whether his heart is soft enough or not, Zhao Jiaren can at least be happy and angry now, and he waited for Li Boyu to continue to speak. And Li Boyu is not polite, or that since he has just made an amazing move, he has to end it by himself now.

"Captain. There must have been many people who were exploited by the Mongols very badly, so they rose up against the Mongols. But once the ground is laid, those people think differently. What they wanted was no longer to farm at home after defeating the Mongols, they wanted more. If they don't know the ...... of the official army, no, they feel that the official army can't beat the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army can't beat them, so they naturally have no reason to be afraid of the official army......" Li Boyu talked eloquently, and many members of the society nodded slightly.

Back then, Jia Rudao convened a hundred officials to discuss the matter, and suddenly said sharply: "The gentlemen are not like the way to be promoted, and they are so safe!" The officials were silent, and no one dared to deal with Jia Rudao's arrogance. Only Li Boyu replied: "Boyu Hall will test the second person, and if you don't pull it out, you can go so far." ”

Of course, those who dare to do this must have two brushes, even if Zhao Jiaren doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that what Li Boyu said is very in line with human thinking.

In ancient China, there were hundreds of peasant uprisings, large and small, and although they contained more or less reasonable reasons for the uprisings, they all eventually fell into the cycle of seizing power, plundering wealth, and improving their own hierarchical status, and their ultimate goal was to change the dynasty and establish a new feudal regime.

To paraphrase the 21st century Internet term, 'I can XXXX with my ability, of course I can XXXXXX'. If they hadn't seen the strength of the new army, these rebels would have felt that the officers and soldiers who arrived were no match for them. However, this is what Zhao Jiaren is most worried about, the new army now has a power far beyond this era, and let the rebel army know that the cost of the gap between the two sides is too great.

After Li Boyu finished speaking, Zhao Jiaren sighed: "It doesn't matter if you are soft-hearted, or hard-hearted." They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and I really don't want to kill more. ”

After all, the Great Song Dynasty was a civilized country. Zhao Jiaren's soft-heartedness would be ridiculed, and his opinion that he didn't want to kill and injure the people of the Great Song Dynasty was not ridiculed in the slightest. Not only was no one laughing at it, but the members of the society were also quite agreeable. So the discussion began about how to reduce the number of casualties while ensuring repression.

The meeting was adjourned at noon, and the agenda item was naturally closed. Just as everyone was about to go to dinner, someone said, "Captain, can you ask the Mongols to give a roster about the exchange of prisoners of war with the Mongols?" ”
