Kuo Kuozhen's nephew Tie Ying slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was tight, and he immediately fell asleep. After a closer look, he found that he had wrapped Xia tightly around his body in his sleep. Rolling away from the quilt, Tie Ying felt a little cooler again.

In Baghdad, the seventh month of the Western calendar, everyone had already begun to sleep on the bamboo mats sold by the Great Song Dynasty. The wealthy used the kind of bamboo mats made of thick bamboo chips, or double-sided mats made of bamboo skin on the front and rattan on the back. The middle-class people are bamboo scorn seats, and the poor people will figure it out on their own. I didn't expect that at the same time, it was still covered in the Yuan Kingdom. Iron Eagle felt that he preferred the summer in the Yuan Kingdom.

At breakfast, Tie Ying, who was in his early twenties, ate three white-flour steamed buns, two portions of meat and vegetables, and poured down two bowls of sweet porridge with corn and pumpkin. Then I went to the meeting with all my might. As a result, throughout the meeting, Iron Eagle basically didn't understand anything. The entire court of the Yuan Kingdom spoke Chinese, and no one spoke Mongolian. There are some people with obvious Mongolian accents, stammering in Chinese, and still insisting on using Chinese.

The meeting was not too long, and it ended just before the Iron Eagle spirit hit rock bottom. A Mongolian leader stayed behind after everyone left, and the empty conference room finally sounded Mongolian.

"Brother, why does Yuan Guo use Chinese?" Iron Eagle was very dissatisfied with this.

The Mongolian commander really didn't think about this problem, scratched his head, he thought for a long time with a bitter face, and then said: "Yuan Guo has been using Chinese for so many years, and I don't know why. ”

However, the commander's responsibility was not to explain, but to convey the decision of the military council, and he quickly ended the topic and said to Iron Eagle: "Your team follows the Chinese army. Take care of your own people, our Yuan ** era is not a joke. Whoever does it to break discipline will be killed. ”

"What kind of discipline?" Iron Eagle came interested.

The Mongolian commander told Tie Ying about the three disciplines and eight points of attention of the Yuan State version, and after listening to it, it was Tie Ying's turn to scratch his head. He was puzzled and said, "Brother, why is it forbidden to loot and slaughter the city?" If we don't rob things, how can we get rich? ”

"In the past, in order to stop the Poles from advancing westward and weaken the strength of the Polish tribes, we also wanted to snatch women back to be wives for the singles. Just in Kharkiv and other places, looting and massacres were carried out to create a no-man's land. Later, we didn't have time to farm the land by ourselves, so where did we have so much energy to do this. This time, King Hao Ren made it clear that we want to turn Poland into the land of the Yuan Kingdom, and we want to farm and raise livestock in Poland, and it is a pity that people are killed. ”

Iron Eagle continued to scratch his skull, still puzzled. He frowned and thought for a while, and then found the crux of the problem, "Brother, if we don't grab things, won't there be no income for sending troops." ”

"How can there be no income! Take Poland, and we can farm in Poland. The amount of land there is, the amount of tax revenue that the court has. ”

"But our troops don't have any income!" Iron Eagle struggles to organize language.

The Mongol commander had followed Hao Ren for more than ten years, and he was silent on such an inexplicable question. He frowned and thought for a while, scratched his head three times in the middle, and then asked tentatively: "Brother Iron Eagle, are you asking what income our army has?" ”

Tie Ying felt that the other party finally understood his thoughts, and his heart was much more relaxed. At the same time, there is a lot of confusion about why it took so much effort for a Mongol commander to figure out such a simple question. Wouldn't you know if you listen to a Mongolian song, the Mongols went out with the Great Khan, looted everywhere they went, and brought home gold and silver treasures, and the warriors and the robbed women lived happily ever after. That's what it's said in the songs.

The Mongolian commander has been a soldier for so many years, and he is very familiar with the system, and he immediately said, "When our Yuan ** people fight, they have military salaries, and their land is tax-free. If you obey orders and listen to commands when you are fighting, follow King Hao Ren wholeheartedly, and listen to King Hao Ren's words. Learn to speak Sinicization again.,Recognize 500 Chinese characters.,After passing the exam......"

As the nephew of the Queen Mother, Tie Ying was dumbfounded. Say sinicization, recognize Chinese characters, and take exams, what is this! How could a Mongolian nobleman do so much. That's what only officials do.

The Mongol commanders are getting more and more vigorous, "...... After retiring, you can become an official, a worker, or a doctor. King Hao Ren will not let us rob, if you rob, no matter how much merit you make, you will go back to farming when you come back. Although farming is good, it is still majestic to be an official and a doctor. My brother was a soldier for five years, and he finally passed the exam and became a doctor in the town, and you don't know how many people begged to marry their daughter to him. ”

Iron Eagle's brow tightened and tightened, and slowly loosened. When the Mongolian commander finished speaking, he asked, "Brother, what did your family do before?" ”

"My family? My family used to be herdsmen. ”

"Has anyone ever been a household under the Great Khan?" When questioned, Tie Ying's expression became flat.

"Ten thousand households?" A sincere smile appeared on the face of the Mongolian commander, "That's not it, that's a nobleman." My family is just a herdsman, so I guess I was a soldier. ”

However, in the face of Tie Ying, a noble man from the Golden Horde of the Great Khan, the Mongolian leader defended himself with two sentences, "But the people under King Hao Ren are all like me, relying on wars. ”

Tie Ying knew that this commander was a general at the level of a division commander, and the number of a division of the Yuan ** team was 10,000, and the horses were between 20,000 and 30,000. In the Mongol Empire, this commander was a man of ten thousand households, and he was a figure of considerable status. As a result, this commander turned out to be just a cowherd baby, and of course Iron Eagle looked down on this commander a little. But he was already a troublemaker among the Mongolian nobles, and his aunt repeatedly warned Tie Ying not to cause trouble before she came. So Tie Ying didn't dare to say anything disrespectful.

After listening to the arrangement, Tie Ying asked people to report to Hao Ren, wanting to see him. In the afternoon of the same day, a messenger came to see Tie Ying and asked him to follow him to see Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan State, Tie Ying hurriedly set off with the envoy, and when he arrived at Hao Ren's office, he saw a group of civil and military personnel coming out of it one after another.

Those people were wearing placket clothes, which is what is called 'uniform' in Chinese. Tie Ying couldn't understand the Chinese characters, but he just thought that these clothes looked gorgeous. Military shirts are a little longer, more like some kind of kaftan. The jacket of the civil servant is shorter. In addition, the soldiers' pants have widened thighs, which is convenient for horseback riding.

Looking at these nobles of the Yuan Kingdom, Tie Ying couldn't help but think about how many of them were cattle herders like the Mongolian commander this morning. Everyone left, and the messenger took Tie Ying into the office, which was also empty at this time, only the sunlight shining in from the glass window above reflected the smoke of some cigarette rolls that had not yet dispersed, and Hao Ren was also holding a half-smoked cigarette and was signing and stamping the documents handed to the secretary.

Glancing up at Tie Ying who walked in, Hao Ren asked, "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he continued to sign and seal.

"Lord Wang......" Tie Ying suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Lord Wang, I want to ask if we are going to war, will there be ...... The spoils of war are divided. ”

Although the pro-army of the Great Khan of the Yuan State has a very high status, and now it has even begun to replace the Xue army, which has long been in decline, but this is Hao Ren's territory after all. Even Xue Jun didn't dare to stab a country lord who was only a little bit of a family. Even if you don't get killed, you can only admit it if you get a whip.

Hao Renben was browsing the contents of the document, and when he heard this, he raised his head with a cigarette in his mouth, his brows already furrowed. "No one told you that you have a rank?"

Tie Ying plucked up his courage and said, "Back to the prince, the commander has already said it. However, I have come to fight on orders, and if I can't explain to my subordinates how to divide the spoils, I won't be able to boost their morale. ”

Hearing this, the secretaries all raised their heads to look at Iron Eagle. The secretary could hear that Tie Ying's hesitation was just worried about the power of King Haoren of the Yuan Kingdom, not that he felt that what he said was wrong. And with such a dirty bun, no one in the Yuan court has dared to say it so justifiably for a long time.

Hao Ren felt a little nostalgic, and the Mongol army that invaded the Song Dynasty twenty years ago was also agitated like this. Under such encouragement, the Mongol army also looked like wolves and tigers for a time. In front of the New Song army led by Zhao Jiaren, which never talked about the distribution of spoils, the Mongol naval army collapsed first. When Zhao Jiaren led the counterattack, the incorruptible and disciplined Marshal Boyan ordered the Mongols to retreat from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River in an orderly manner.

Flicking the ashes, Hao Ren took another puff of his cigarette. He had a more intuitive sense of the current level of the Golden Horde of the Great Khan of Mongolia. More than 1,000 years ago, Xunzi said in the "Parliamentary Chapter".

Qi people long striking, its skills also, get a song, then give a ransom money, no reward. It is a small enemy, then it can be used secretly, and if the big enemy is strong, it will be detached, if the bird flies, it will tilt and repeat the sun, and it is the soldier of the country. The soldiers are not weak, and they are the ones who go to rent the market maids and fight.

In the message conveyed by Iron Eagle, the Mongolian army has the urine of a soldier who has fallen to the country. As for Hao Ren's current enemy, he is much stronger.

Xunzi said that the warriors of the Wei clan should take them by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the fifty arrows of the bear, the crown and the sword, win the grain of three days, and go to a hundred miles in the middle of the day. The pilot test will restore its households, benefit its fields and houses, it is a few years and decline and can not be taken away, and it is not easy to renovate Zhou, although the land is large and its taxes must be widowed, it is a soldier who is in danger of the country.

The army of the Teutonic knights was probably able to do that. But it is only a soldier who endangers the country.

When the Mongol Empire was at its strongest, it was probably stronger than the Teutonic Knights, but it was not as strong as it was. At most, it was the army of the Qin State. Xunzi believed that the Qin people were poor and could only rely on military merits to obtain a channel for promotion. Therefore, it is rewarded by military merit, so it is the most powerful. The fourth world has a victory, not luck, but also a number.

If these armies are compared, the skill of Qi cannot meet the warriors of the Wei clan, and the warriors of the Wei clan cannot meet the sharp soldiers of the Qin clan. But above the sharp soldiers of the Qin State is a controlled army like Marshal Boyan. If such an iron eagle was the commander, he would only carry out some spoils of instigation, and then fight a decisive battle with Zhao Jiaren's Song army south of the Yangtze River. Unaware that the shipping of the Yangtze River was about to be cut off by Zhao Jiaren's navy, the Mongol army soon fell back to death.

But Huan and Wenzhi moderation are not the highest realm. Xunzi believes that the temperance of Huan and Wen cannot be against the benevolence and righteousness of Tang and Wu. Those who encounter it, if they are scorched and stoned.

Originally, Hao Ren thought that this was a high-profile singing, but when he saw the lives of those working people in the Yuan Kingdom and their enthusiasm for joining the army, Hao Ren suddenly became enlightened. Zhao Jiaren's Song army was not fighting for the spoils of war, they were fighting for themselves. The Zhao family not only liberated these serfs, herdsmen, and slaves from foreign invaders, but also took them to liberate themselves from their own oppressors. All human beings have been given the power and dignity that they deserve as human beings. The war that threw these people into the war was not the amount of spoils, but the people's desire to punish the violence and eliminate the chaos and get to the root of the problem.

When this battlefield is over, Hao Ren will go to the territory of the Great Khan, which is simply driven by the spoils of war. Thinking of this, Hao Ren's mood became heavy.

Tie Ying didn't know what Hao Ren's slightly changing expression and his increasingly deep gaze meant. There was a great vigilance in his heart, and it was a natural reaction to the unknown. It's just some trophies, can Hao Ren be so thoughtful? Could it be that Hao Ren is planning some poisonous plan to harm Tie Ying?

Just when Tie Ying was worried, Hao Ren snuffed out the cigarette butt, and he smiled: "You are the Great Khan's pro-army, I will not shoot you on the battlefield no matter what." If there is any damage, I can't explain it to the Queen Mother. So you don't have to think about it so much, just let your subordinates not cause trouble. ”

Iron Eagle answered, and then retired. This result is not unusual, he himself doesn't really want to fight, but just wants to explain to his subordinates in case of war. In these years, the Mongol Great Khan has been fighting against the northern states of Tianzhu in the south, because he has no money, and he has made several empty promises before the war and unfulfilled after the war. As a result, there was also a mutiny in the army before the outbreak of hard fighting. If you don't do anything, it's not bad to get a military salary. At least the treatment of the Yuan ** army is not generally good, everyone is not only well-fed, but also well-fed.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Tie Ying ate seven breads with cream and preserved fruits in one go, and the sweet taste was really satisfying. Back at the residence, lying on the bed, Tie Ying couldn't help but think of Hao Ren's deep gaze. That's something completely incomprehensible, what the hell is Hao Ren thinking? In the midst of such cranky thoughts, Iron Eagle fell asleep.

Two days later, the Yuan army began to set off. Following the Yuan Army, Tie Ying felt another uneasiness. The number of the Yuan ** team was too large, and as soon as the cavalry set off, the horse manure on the ground covered almost the entire road. Every few dozen miles, there is a military station. A thousand troops can easily be stationed in it, without having to sleep in the open.

There is no shortage of jam bread and corn and pumpkin porridge, and there is no shortage of meat. Fresh cows, sheep and pigs are peeled and cut and hung upside down in rows next to the kitchen. All kinds of food are served out of it, and they are full of aroma. Where is this marching and fighting, it is simply the treatment on the way back after a hunt organized by the Great Khan.

After marching for more than ten days, everyone gathered under a city to repair. I heard that more than 200 miles ahead is Warsaw, and this is also the destination of the Yuan ** team to attack. Tie Ying's camp is in the Chinese army, and when he got out of the tent, he saw that the tents of the Yuan ** team on the plain were endless, and the camp of Tie Ying and their 1,000 people was only a small part of it. The military meeting of the Yuan Kingdom was still in Chinese, and Tie Ying couldn't understand what the gang was discussing. When asked about the number of the first team to go on this expedition, they only got a simple statement of 100,000 people.

Iron Eagle wanted to believe the number, but he couldn't. He stayed in the Xue Army, but the Xue Army was not simply selected from the children of 10,000 households, 1000 households, 100 households, and 10 households, and then formed a personal guard army of the Great Khan. In addition to the guards, the Timid Xue personnel were also responsible for the crown and clothing, bows and arrows, food and drink, literature and history, chariots and horses, tents, treasury, medicine, and blessings of the Great Khan (king). All appointments are hereditary. The kings also had their own cowardices. It is easy for a cowardly soldier to become a close officer. After serving as an official of the court, he still served in the court.

The treatment of such a noble army can be imagined, but the treatment of Xue Jun is not as good as the treatment of the Yuan ** team along the way. Tie Ying thought that it might be Hao Ren who treated the Great Khan's army with special favor, but every time he was stationed in the camp station, the number of cattle, sheep and pigs hanging there far exceeded the upper limit for an army of 1,000 men.

Standing outside the camp and looking out, Iron Eagle couldn't find the answer. He simply took out the jam brioche bread in the paper bag from his arms, and thought about life as he nibbled on it.

Hao Ren was also thinking, his thinking about the flavoring from a lighter cigarette roll back to an expensive Manila cigarillo. The war was progressing well, and the worst that had been contemplated did not materialize. Because of the Teutonic Knights' rampant conquest in Poland, a large number of Polish small and medium-sized nobles sent envoys, hoping to be sheltered by the Yuan Kingdom. According to the information they received, the 40,000 knights sent by the Teutonic Knights did not stay in Warsaw and wait for the Yuan ** team to attack, but came out to meet the enemy.

In the worst scenario, all the countries of Europa sent their own troops to form a coalition of 200,000 to attack the Yuan State, and now the number of enemies is only one-fifth of it, and the Yuan State sent 100,000 cavalry to attack, as long as there is no situation of congenital surprise troops, this war is probably no problem.

His in-laws, Boyan, also wrote a letter informing Hao Ren that the armies of the Holy Roman Empire were attacking the Western Roman Empire, which relied on the northern mountains to carry out. In addition to wishing Hao Ren an early victory, Boyan also hoped that Hao Ren would send 5,000 to 8,000 musketeers armed with artillery to help in the battle after the victory. It also proves that the countries of Europa are not united. Bo Yan's eyes don't rub sand, if the other party only has three or five thousand troops to contain the troops, he will definitely be able to see through it.

The generals of the Yuan Kingdom formulated a simple and practical plan, the 40,000 troops faced the knights of the 40,000 Teutonic Knights head-on, and the remaining 60,000 troops carried out a two-wing outflank, using the means of encirclement and annihilation to completely eliminate the 40,000 enemies.
