Chapter 212: Upward Spreading Confrontation (14)
"The average life expectancy of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty was fifty-one years old. The official family is already fifty years old, and he wants to die soon. ”
But Gaozong lived to be eighty-one years old. Today's officials don't look like they're dying in a short life......"
"Gaozong is a descendant of Taizong, and today's official family is a descendant of Taizu. The children of the Taizu family are generally short-lived. ”
"If that's the case, that's great. We have already started to sell some land. ”
"Our temple has not sold land yet. However, after New Year's Day, if you still can't find tenants, you have to start selling land. ”
"Alas...... it is better for the official family to return to heaven as soon as possible. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. ”
"Amitabha."
……
A large amount of information containing such information continues to flow into the hands of the Intelligence Bureau and the Anti-Traitor Committee. Liu Chong, the chairman of the anti-rape committee, looked at the thick roster with many new names, and he no longer felt angry. He used to be very angry, but later found out that the result of such anger was that he was angry to death before he could sweep away the traitorous party. Stretching out his hand and patting the roster, Liu Pet went to see Zhao Jiaren. Seeing Zhao Guan's family, Liu Pet asked calmly: "Guanjia, the traitorous party has almost retrieved it, can you close the net?" ”
"There's no hurry. Keep waiting. Zhao Jiaren replied calmly.
"Now they have sinned beyond forgiveness......"
"It's a long way from heinousness. That is, within two years, these people will sell a lot of land. Liu Pet, what do you think they will do at that time? ”
"More insane?"
"Nope. Their core personnel will drive the periphery away,"
Liu Chong was stunned, he didn't care about the future of those scum at all, if he could, he couldn't wait to arrest people now. After listening to this official's description of the future, Liu Chong pondered for a moment and replied, "I'll just wait." ”
"Hold your breath." Zhao Jiaren encouraged, "I also want to see those crooks get the punishment they deserve." ”
Sending Liu Pet away, Zhao Jiaren took out the "Great Song Military Newspaper" that Liu Pet put in before he came from the drawer, as a person in charge, he was very sad in many places. Someone secretly passed on the news before, relying on seeing the newspaper that Zhao Jiaren put on his desk. That guy can rely on such clues to accurately judge what Zhao Jiaren is paying attention to.
There is nothing special in this Great Song Army newspaper, and Zhao Jiaren only cares about a few words 'X Family Army'. In the 21st century, Zhao Jiaren saw the 'X family army' in history and felt how heroic the ancestors were. Now Zhao Jiaren has found that it is a big hero like Yue Fei under him, if there is really such a definite name as 'Yue Jiajun', Zhao Jiaren probably wants to kill people. Now Zhao Jiaren's mind is already flying with terms such as arrest, interrogation, and purge.
It took a lot of effort for Zhao Jiaren to reluctantly lock these negative emotions in the small black room in his mind. He ordered: "Please Major General Wu Ziyang come over." ”
Major General Zhao Jiaren arranged for the education and took care of Zhao Qian, one of several instructors and members of the student society, and these people were also considered by Zhao Jiaren to be very reliable. In the military political work system that Zhao Jiaren wants to establish in the future, they are all important personnel. Since Zhao Jiaren believed them, he spoke very directly, "Major General Wu, I want to give you a task." Go and check if there is any statement of the X family army in each unit. ”
“…… Official. I asked a little, maybe someone in the military newspaper was talking about this. Wu Ziyang has obviously paid attention to this topic.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I will now ascertain whether there is such a statement in the rank-and-file troops. ”
"Official, with the current system, the grassroots ......"
Zhao Jiaren interrupted Wu Ziyang's words, and he said solemnly: "What I want is a clear investigation report." If you want to prove the system construction up to now, you can't think about it in Hangzhou. Without investigation, there is no voice. ”
"Yes." Wu Ziyang immediately agreed.
In addition to the single line, Zhao Jiaren also gave a task to the members of the academy of the army, and nominally it was naturally impossible to investigate whether there was a 'X family army'. But with precise preparation, it is actually possible to do a lot. After finishing all this, Zhao Jiaren felt a little better. Operations in various theaters require time and manpower, and the "Great Song Military Daily" in Hangzhou is much easier. Zhao Jiaren directly used intelligence officers to start a careful investigation.
At this time, Major General Wu Ziyang had already left Beijing, and if he saw what Zhao Guanjia was doing, he would definitely feel how easy and comfortable it was for him to go out of Beijing. In the past, from Hangzhou to the Yinshan Theater, which was established last year, the nearest way was to take the waterway. Now the situation is completely different, Wu Ziyang took a boat along the canal all the way north. As far as the eye can see, there are lush woods.
The canal needs water to replenish it constantly, and the Zhao family is very consistent with this environment, planting trees to maintain the water source and reduce the amount of sediment entering the river. The wide canal is filled with steamboats and lighthouses, and the boats sail almost day and night.
The north end of the Tongji Canal is very close to the Yellow River, but the sediment content in the Yellow River water is too high, and the Tongji Canal is practical for water sources such as Luoshui. At the end of the canal, there is a waterway that leads to the Yellow River. In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, which entered the Yellow River from the Tongji Canal, and could enter the Yongji Canal after a short voyage. From Yongji Canal all the way to the destination Youzhou. Now that there is no plan to excavate the Yongji Canal and completely restore the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui, Wu Ziyang disembarked in Luoyang, transferred horses and began to go north.
Through the mountain road to the north, through the Taihang Bazhen, from Zhangjiakou over the Yinshan Mountain, you arrived at the Yinshan Theater. To the south of Yin Mountain, it was already snowing. After passing the Wild Fox Ridge and entering the north of Yin Mountain, everything you see is even more vast. The undulating ground is covered with a thick layer of snow, and you don't know where you are without the various guards or guiding buildings on both sides of the road.
"You're here in the snow?" The first sentence of Yang Tiexin, commander of the Yinshan Theater of Operations, was a question, and if this was a greeting, it would probably be even more heartwarming.
Wu Ziyang, who was already frozen and cold, wanted to smile, but he couldn't. Today is the fifth day of December, which is almost the coldest time. He said with difficulty: "Hurry." "They were in a hurry, and the sky was overcast, and if they didn't hurry, it would have gotten worse. I arrived at my destination just after noon, and it looked like it was no different from the evening.
"You guys have really suffered a lot." Yang Tiexin sighed. Even the Mongols did not dare to go out in such a winter, and if they went out, they would die. That is, the Great Song army was able to advance in the snow with the previous construction.
These guys, who were cold enough to choke, were put on the stove to roast, and the brown sugar ginger soup was served, and the body temperature rose, and these guys were sleepy. The warm kang was ready, they washed their feet, and in the warm and soft quilt, Wu Ziyang fell asleep in an instant.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and the hungry people were awakened by the wake-up call. They got dressed and were led into the cafeteria by the guards. It wasn't dawn yet, and the cafeteria was brightly lit. The fighters, dressed in military coats that covered their calves, lined up neatly in the canteen.
There are a lot of people in the cafeteria, and there is a huge iron stove, and the temperature feels good. According to the system of the Song army, the officers and soldiers are one, and everyone lines up to eat. Wu Ziyang saw Yang Tiexin sitting at a table, and after he finished eating, he leaned over and sat opposite Yang Tiexin.
"Hurry up and eat, and then we'll talk about it when you're done." Yang Tiexin said.
In such an environment, it was not suitable for conversation, and the hungry Wu Ziyang quickly finished eating. He knew that even if he was hungry, he couldn't eat much, so he put the bowl in the place where it was collected. Although Yang Tiexin ate early, he finished eating later than Wu Ziyang. The two returned to the office, and at this time the stove in the office had been replaced with new media and the damper was opened. The house was also warmed up.
"How's the battle going?" Wu Ziyang asked.
Yang Tiexin sighed: "Last year, our 30,000 people killed about 150,000 Tartars. This year 30,000 infantry came to the military district. According to the plan, the cavalry continued to sweep along the river. 30,000 infantry went straight to Horin. I'm afraid that there won't be so many Tartars to protect Helin this year. ”
Wu Ziyang nodded slightly. According to statistics, the Song army has killed three million people so far. The killing of 150,000 people was insignificant compared to the Mongols, but for the Song army, it was a large number.
"Can you solve it by next year?" Wu Ziyang asked.
"I don't know what next year will be. However, if he had marched along the river in the early years, he would have taken it now. Yang Tiexin sighed.
Looking at this old comrade-in-arms, Wu Ziyang said sincerely: "You have really worked hard. Although he should talk about business at this time, Wu Ziyang thought of the news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Originally, there was just news that Yang Tiexin's wife Bao Xiwan was kidnapped by the Mongolian prince Hao Ren and became Hao Ren's wife. But this is a rumor after all, and it can't be taken entirely seriously. The latest news finally turned the rumors into reality, looking at his comrades-in-arms who had never married, Wu Ziyang wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
Yang Tiexin didn't know that his old comrades-in-arms had news about him in their hearts, and the commander of the Yinshan Theater continued to talk about work, "In my opinion, if you can kill another 200,000 Mongolians next year." Mongolia is also about to be shaken. According to the interrogation of our captives, the population of the Mongolian steppes is said to range from 3 million to 10 million, and it is not known how much. ”
"yes. As long as you find a way, there will definitely be a time to kill everything. Wu Ziyang said with a smile. Half of what he said was sincere, and half of it was an echo of Yang Tiexin. The purpose of Wu Ziyang's trip was not to supervise the army, but to investigate the situation of the army. Naturally, there is no need to sing against Yang Tiexin.
However, Wu Ziyang didn't expect that the Mongols were not wood, standing in place and waiting for the Great Song cavalry to cut it. At this time, there were already more than 100,000 Mongolian tribes that were originally in the west of the Yinshan Military Region, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ran westward. By this time it was time to warm Baghdad. On the fifth day of the twelfth month of the Song calendar, not to mention that Yinshan Mountain was already covered with snow, and even Hangzhou, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was snowing. And Baghdad is only raining lightly, and the temperature is around ten degrees. After experiencing the low temperature test of minus 30 degrees on the grassland, 10 degrees makes these herdsmen feel cool and comfortable.
Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongols, was not so comfortable, and a large number of Mongols were entering the Arab region, and they were all noble Mongols, and naturally they could not be treated worse than the slaves of the True God Cultists. But these people have to eat and drink, and the local taxes are simply not enough to feed nearly five million Mongols. Fortunately, Egypt, where Marshal Boyan is located, is rich in grain, and the Egyptian Canal has been dug so that grain from both sides of the Nile can be transported smoothly to Basra. It can also be delivered closer to the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
However, Kublai Khan also knew the truth of sitting on the empty mountain, and the Mongols relied on plundering everywhere to obtain wealth, and the Mongol Khan rewarded these riches to the Mongol tribes and built the Mongolian society. The main direction of the Mongol army's attack was the northern states of Tianzhu, and the enemy's light cavalry came and went like the wind, and the war elephants were tall and strong, which was difficult to shake. Coupled with the huge number of infantry in the Uttar Pradesh, the Mongol generals knew that the frontal hard bar would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so the Mongol army fell into a helpless protracted and protracted war.
"Great Khan, where are these people sent?" The queen asked.
"It's already overcrowded everywhere it goes, so let them stay in Baghdad first." Kublai Khan said unhappily. This place in the Middle East looks not small, and the climate is also good. There was also a lot of food, but the Mongols were not an agrarian people like the Han Chinese, and experience in Dadu told Kublai Khan that even if the land was given to the Mongols, they would not cultivate it. They only graze their cattle and have no interest in farming.
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan sighed: "If only they were willing to farm." ”
The queen looked at Kublai Khan's sad face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to send them to Egypt." I think there may be a need for manpower on the Boyan side. ”
"Nope." Kublai Khan decisively refused.
The empress was surprised by Kublai Khan's decisiveness, and in the face of the complicated government affairs, Kublai Khan had not expressed such a decisive attitude for a long time.
"Why not?" The queen asked.
"Because ......, it just won't work anyway." Kublai Khan did not give a clear answer. For his real hope was to bring rich Egypt under the direct command of the Great Khan and send officials there to administer it. Instead of appointing the governor of Egypt, as is the case now. If you give Boyan another 100,000 people, it is easy for Boyan to have these 100,000 people. If hundreds of thousands of Mongol tribesmen refused to give up Egypt, it would be a big problem.
Seeing Kublai Khan like this, the queen didn't say anything. She is a little related to the new Mongolian tribal leader, so she helps them live better. It would be best to have a place for them. Now that he has not, he will not worry about food if he stays in the city of Baghdad.
After the Emperor's reign, Kublai Khan said to his ministers, "I have heard that the members of the True God Church now worship at home, and every time they pray, they will curse the Immortal Heaven. Therefore, in the future, the True God Church cannot worship at home, but must go to the temple to worship. Facilitate our supervision. ”
It was about religion, and the clear-headed ministers knew that this was not the case. Mongolia has never been so gentle with people who curse the Immortal Heaven, and the Mongolian Scimitar must teach the disrespectful Immortal Guy to be a new man. Now the true gods go to the temple to worship and have to pay money. Many people don't go to the temple because of this expense. If all True God worshippers had to go to the temple to worship, the income from this money would be greatly increased.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Great Khan, what if the True God Sect makes trouble?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Kublai Khan replied coldly. After saying that, the Mongolian minister did not dare to answer.
After a period of silence, someone said, "Great Khan, if the Mongols are willing to farm, what if we kill all the True God Cult." Is it possible to order some poor herders to work the land? ”
The young man's words reached Kublai Khan's heart, and he looked at his grandson, who was very important, and said angrily: "It would be good if this is the case, but I have never heard of such a herdsman for so many years." What are you going to do to get them to farm? ”
"I think Hao Ren's farm over there is good." Aramaha Bara told his grandfather Kublai Khan his thoughts.
Hearing the name Hao Ren, Kublai Khan's heart was shocked. Genghis Khan had many sons, and his sons also had many sons, and now the number of descendants of the family is very large. However, the person who could inherit the position of the Great Khan must be the empress's own child, which ruled out Hao Ren's inheritance. Although his grandfather was also Torre, he was born different from other Torre grandchildren.
But this Hao Ren broke through on his own, and even the orthodox Torre descendants had to rely on his strength many times. Kublai Khan felt an indescribable unease. After thinking about it, Kublai Khan said: "Let Hao Ren come to Baghdad, and I will ask him personally." ”
The news of the Great Khan's summons reached Kiev on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Great Song Dynasty in 331, when Hao Ren was visiting the new port under construction in the Black Sea port of Odessa. There are a lot of iron guys built on the port, and these iron guys use pulleys and gear sets to form a hoisting dock. Seeing that one person could push the winch to slowly lift thousands of pounds of things, Hao Ren felt an eye-opener and rejoiced in his heart.
In addition to these, Hao Ren was even happier that the cable telegraph was completed and the money village began to operate. The Great Song relied on transportation to establish a money system from Odessa to Constantinople. With the bills, you can buy goods in both places and carry out transactions. There's no need to really carry the money around at all. In China, Hao Ren was able to communicate through the cable telegraph network. The news came day and night, which made Hao Ren, who had seen the cable telegraph in the Great Song Dynasty, happy to death.
The cable telegraph network soon worked, sending the news to Haoren in Odessa at the telegraph office in Kiev. Looking at Kublai Khan's order to Hao Ren to go to Baghdad, Hao Ren felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
The Great Khan is 76 years old this year, and no one knows how long the Great Khan will live. Hao Ren firmly believed that at this age, Kublai Khan would definitely want to make long-term arrangements for his descendants. Hao Ren is a descendant of the Bo'er Jin family, and compared with Kublai Khan's own descendants, Hao Ren is not so close. Therefore, Hao Ren would rather cry before going to Baghdad after the death of the Great Khan than run to Kublai Khan at this time.
But after thinking about it, Hao Ren really couldn't find a reason to refuse. He could only return to Kyiv by boat, and as for what to do, he would talk about it after meeting the envoy.
