August 319 of the Great Song Dynasty, August of the fourth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty. The Great Yuan Prince, Zhenjin, led his troops north to attack Haidu, the leader of the Chagatai Khanate, who was besieging Horin.

Zhenjin also met Hao Ren before leaving, and the two met in Shi Tianze's mourning hall. Same as last time, Hao Ren also chose a time that would not collide with many people, but as soon as he arrived at the door of Shi Tianze's mourning hall, Prince Zhenjin arrived. Although he was too lazy to communicate too much with the officials in the capital, Hao Ren couldn't deliberately avoid everyone, so he could only wait for the prince Zhenjin at the door.

The two cousins, Hao Ren and Hao Ren, are both descendants of the Torre family, and after the two met, it was the cousin Zhenjin who spoke first: "Brother Hao Ren, you didn't come to see me after you came back from Jiangnan, which made me very anxious." ”

I didn't see you send someone to me in a hurry. Hao Ren scolded in his heart, but said with a smile: "It's not that I just came back, the things at home have been accumulating for a few months, and I have to deal with them one by one." When I was busy, I forgot to send someone to report your safety to King Yan. ”

Kublai Khan's study of the Chinese system is quite so-so, at least he knows how to crown the crown prince as king. After saying this, Hao Ren remembered that the Zhao official family had only given his two elder brothers the title of King Zhong and King Ning, and there was no one of his sons who had been crowned kings.

Zhenjin smiled: "Speaking of which, I should have sent someone to invite you first." This time it was delayed, and it will definitely not fall next time. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhenjin led his cousin into Shi Tianze's mourning hall together. When the two people from the Jin family came, Shi Tianze's family immediately knelt on the ground.

Following behind the real gold, Hao Ren remembered that he had set off to worship the deceased Yao Shu, and met Shi Tianze at that time. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, Shi Tianze drove west. The impermanence of life made Hao Ren a little embarrassed. Thinking about it again, Hao Ren has attended many funerals in recent years. Many important ministers who had followed Kublai Khan have passed away one after another, but they have not passed away, either because they are not in good health like Lian Xixian, or they have begun to leave the center of power like Hao Jing, and they are just consulting status. At this time, the people who began to bear the burden were already in their thirties Zhenjin and Hao Ren.

And the crown prince Zhenjin talked with Shi Tianze's family very decently, expressing Zhenjin's condolences and willingness to take care of Shi Tianze's family. This made Hao Ren very impressed, and if it was Hao Ren himself, he would not be able to use such a delicate wrist.

After the conversation came out, Hao Ren thought that he was going to go his separate ways with his cousin, but he didn't expect Zhenjin to stop Hao Ren and ask Hao Ren to go to his house. Of course, it was not appropriate to refuse, so Hao Ren followed Zhenjin to Yanwang's Mansion. In the car, Zhenjin asked, "I don't know how the soldiers are preparing now?" ”

"The military academy of Eagle Yang Mansion has been sent, and it should be able to gather a few thousand people now."

"Are these thousands of people worthwhile?"

"I don't know. I just came back and haven't had time to go down yet. The soldiers of the government have to go to the Yingyang Mansion for training twice a year, and there are still one or two coaching periods in the capital. There is also a trial every winter. Since it's a start-up, it's not going to be too good. ”

"I heard that the government soldiers are also training in battle?"

After listening to his cousin's words, Hao Ren knew that his cousin had come prepared. It is true that the soldiers of the government can be trained in battle, this is still the content specially researched by Hao Ren, and he wrote it when he was on the table.

"King Yan, it's difficult that you are going to let our Mongolian army fight in front, and those government soldiers are watching from behind. If they really dare to do this, the Mongolian army probably wants to cut down these soldiers with knives. Hao Ren expressed his opinion very implicitly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as it can restrain the Mongolian army, thousands of households can be restrained. "The real gold attitude is very persistent.

"Does the Great Khan know what the prince thinks?" Hao Ren made a final struggle.

"I have reported to my father."

"It is Your Majesty's will to form a government army, and if the prince wants to mobilize the government soldiers, he must also have His Majesty's will."

"Brother Hao Ren is really serious." Prince Zhenjin said with a smile.

"Huh." Hao Ren laughed dryly, he himself also wanted to use the government soldiers to make political capital, the Mongolian army in Han was under the command of the Great Khan, and he wanted to have a relatively independent force, and now it is the best way to watch the government soldiers. It can be seen that Prince Zhenjin also has the same idea.

There's not much to say here. Hao Ren suddenly remembered that there were still some things at home, and Zhenjin did not force Hao Ren, so the two brothers broke up and went their separate ways.

Sitting in his own carriage, Hao Ren was unhappy in his heart. He worked this matter, and as soon as the matter came to an end, someone immediately jumped out to pick the fruit. Do they just look down on Hao Ren like that? Do they think Hao Ren can't keep this fruit? For these people, Hao Ren Wanhu made up his mind that he would not let these people succeed no matter what.

When he returned home, he saw Ahma's cronies waiting for him in Hao Ren's mansion. This cronie brought Ahma's words, and the prince had already taken a fancy to the government soldiers and wanted to control them in his hands. As a traitor in the eyes of the real golden prince, Ahma solemnly warned Hao Ren that the government soldiers were the army of Kublai Khan, and any transfer of military power would cause trouble if it was not careful.

Seeing off Ahma's cronies, Hao Ren only felt that he wanted to smile bitterly. He Hao Ren is not a three-year-old child, and he is very aware of the importance of military power. If the Great Khan Kublai Khan did not know the importance of the army, the government military system would not have been carefully discussed before finally agreeing.

The government soldiers themselves are not private troops, the selection of this army is recommended by the local government, the military government audits, the training is carried out by the captains of the Eagle Yang Mansion, and the army commander is another wave of people. If the government soldiers are unusable, they will naturally punish those responsible in accordance with the system. This is an army built in full accordance with the system, and it is the army of a country. That's why Kublai Khan thought twice before agreeing.

However, when the government soldiers were first formed, many people tried to intervene. This made Hao Ren have to sigh that the power struggle is really all the time.

Not long after Ahma's cronies left, Hao Ren's teacher Hao Jing sent someone to ask Hao Ren to come to his house. Although his heart has changed from an idealistic disciple of science to a simple materialist disciple of Xunzi, Hao Ren still has enough respect for his teacher Hao Jing. Even if he didn't go to his cousin Zhenjin's house, the teacher Hao Jingjia still had to go.

Hao Jing's family is still so simple, at least compared with his ruling status, the courtyard and home furnishings are very ordinary. The master and apprentice sat facing each other, and Hao Ren quietly waited for the teacher to speak.

"The government soldiers will probably be able to use them next year." Hao Jing took the lead in cutting into the topic.

"I'm afraid it's not enough. It will only take three or four years for the system to run smoothly. ”

"Those who start well don't have to do all the work, Hao Ren, you have already made great contributions to the country."

Listening to the teacher's meaning, Hao Ren replied in a firm tone: "This matter was given to me by the Great Khan, and I will not dismiss myself." ”

"Why bother?" Hao Jing's tone was full of regret.

"Teacher, because that's the kind of person I am." Hao Ren's tone was firm.
