"It can't be. ”

Hearing Zhang Wei's persuasion, Lu Wenhuan blurted out.

When he thought of his brother, he felt that his head hurt, according to Lu Wende's suspicious mind, he was unwilling to have a little contact with the Huaxia Army, how could he still let the Huaxia Army's army pass by Xiangyang?

"Impossible? Lu Anfu, I know your concerns, but it's man-made, isn't it? What's more, the Mongols are menacing, if we don't prepare early, won't it be too late for them to attack?" Zhang Wei said secretly, and then he cried and persuaded him.

When he received this task, he knew that this matter was not simple, but for the sake of the future of the Huaxia Army, he had to take this trip.

Lu Wenhuan just shook his head and complained: "If it is anything else, I can promise you, but this is the only thing." ”

"Why?"

Zhang Wei asked.

Lu Wenhuan always shook his head and maintained a veto attitude: "Don't ask, in short, this matter is impossible." ”

"Well, if you don't want to, forget it. Zhang Wei saw that the other party was resolute, and he didn't continue to persevere, otherwise he would only ruin his impression in the eyes of the other party: "The matter of borrowing the road is over, but I want to ask, if it is an ordinary merchant ship, I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Ordinary merchant ships?" Lu Wenhuan looked at Lu Wenhuan with suspicious eyes, and asked in his mouth: "Are you planning to hire ordinary boatmen to help you transport grain?" Just listening to Zhang Wei's tone, Lu Wenhuan knew that Zhang Wei had not given up his plans, and still wanted to take advantage of Xiangyang.

Zhang Wei nodded, and had no intention of hiding: "That's right." Otherwise, how can the food of the front-line soldiers be satisfied?"

If it was a warship, it would naturally be impossible to pass through Xiangyang, but if it was a merchant ship, Zhang Wei still wanted to fight hard.

"If that's the case, maybe. It's just that in this case, I'm afraid it's much more dangerous. After all, without the escort of warships, it is impossible to guarantee safety if you rely on the boatmen on board. Lu Wenhuan complained.

In normal times, perhaps merchant ships could still defeat each other with numerical superiority, but today's warships are all equipped with guns, and steam turbines are the basic configuration, and if they are more advanced, they are directly covered with heavy armor on the hull, which is not something that merchant ships can fight against at all.

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "If it is an escort, I believe that the officers in Xiangyang should be able to help." The strength of the naval army such as Yier, if it were to confront the Mongols, should not tend to be inferior. ”

In order to resist the Mongol invasion, the Song Dynasty deployed heavy troops along the Yangtze River, and built a huge naval army relying on waterways.

Zhang Wei knew that the Xiangyang Navy was equipped with hundreds of warships, including dozens of ironclad ships equipped with artillery and steam turbines, which was enough to ensure the safety of the entire Yangtze River Basin.

There is no way, limited by the waters of the Danjiang River, the tonnage of the Junzhou Navy is basically no more than 500 tons, and it is naturally impossible to equip an ironclad ship weighing 1,000 tons like Xiangyang.

For the battleship, the larger the tonnage, the more fierce the artillery equipped, so Zhang Wei also knew quite well that the Junzhou Navy alone would not be able to confront the Xiangyang Navy Army. However, due to the restrictions of many reefs, the Xiangyang Navy cannot enter the waters of the Danjiang River, which can be said to have its own advantages and disadvantages.

When Lu Wenhuan heard this, he also said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, it is not impossible. But I need to report this matter to my brother, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to pass it. ”

"It's nature. After all, he is the chief official of Xiangyang, isn't he?" Zhang Wei replied.

It's just that when Lu Wenhuan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and he was curious when he stared at Zhang Wei, so he asked, "It's good that this matter can be solved smoothly." It's just that I'm curious, why do you think so, then Mongolia will really go south?"

During the previous conversation, Lu Wenhuan felt strange, the premise of the whole borrowing was that Meng Yuan went south, but that Meng Yuan had just established a dynasty, would he act so quickly?

For this, Lu Wenhuan expressed doubts.

Zhang Wei replied without question: "Of course. As you know, this Mongolia comes from the bitter cold of the north. But you should also know that this place outside the Saiwai has always been bitter cold, how can it feed many people? Therefore, whenever the population on the grassland multiplies to a certain extent, they will start a fight, just like raising Gu, produce a nomadic people who integrate the strength of all aspects, and then go south together to feed the people by conquering and plundering the resources of the Han family. If the Han dynasty is decadent at this moment, it will inevitably produce historical tragedies such as the Wuhu Rebellion, but if the Han dynasty is strong, it will naturally be able to attack the grassland north and expand the territory just like the Han and Tang dynasties did back then. It's not something you can decide by one person, it's because of the number of days. ”

Scholars in Chang'an have discussed many times why the Mongols moved south, just to find an answer.

Zhang Wei followed Xiao Feng and heard a lot about similar topics, so he had this opinion.

After hearing this, Lu Wenhuan was also greatly opened, and asked again: "But this Mongolia has already occupied the Central Plains, so it shouldn't be like this." ”

"Definitely. It is precisely because of the occupation of the Central Plains that this Meng Yuan cannot stop. Zhang Wei shook his head and explained again: "That Meng Yuan is from a place outside the Saiwai, how can he know my Han culture? If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must have the method of killing to make your people submit." Because of this, my Han family doesn't know how much blood has been shed because of this. ”

Lu Wenhuan was also apprehensive, and pandered: "That's true." This Mongolian cruelty is really incredible, and I can only hate my weak strength, and I have never driven them out of the Central Plains. ”

He and Lu Wende used to be Huainan people, and the land of Huainan was also in war because of the Mongol invasion, and they had seen this scene with their own eyes since they were children, otherwise how could they have come up with the plan to join the army?

Because of this, there seems to be peace between the Han and this Meng Yuan, but in fact there is a deep feud in the sea of blood, even if he gives in for a while, he will definitely seek to resist if he has the opportunity in the future. However, the population of the Mengyuan Yuan is only one million, how can it be compared with the Han nationality? Although it was forced down by force for a while, as time spreads, the strength and weakness will inevitably be reversed. When the Han family becomes strong, how do you think it will act?" Zhang Wei said again.

Lu Wenhuan's eyes lit up and shouted, "Rebellion?"

"That's right. It is also the direction of our efforts to completely overthrow the Mongols that were oppressed in the past and re-establish the world belonging to the Han family. ”

Zhang Wei looked at Lu Wenhuan with earnest eyes, thinking about whether he could convince the other party, so that even when facing Mongolia in the south, he would be able to win and lose more.

And the reason why they chose to go south was also to weaken the strength of the Han family. After all, if the Han family is too strong, it will threaten their rule. ”

"In that case, then why did Brother Ali choose to establish the Yuan Dynasty?" Even so, Lu Wenhuan was still full of doubts, after all, this Brother Ali Buge's performance was no different from that of the Emperor of the Han family, and even to some extent, it was better than today's saints.

There is no way, who let that Zhao Xuan is a cerebral palsy patient, and all the authority is controlled by Jia Yidao.

Even if the people of insight in the Song Dynasty had a warm blood, but in the face of this scene, they could only cry out in vain, and it would be useless.

Zhang Wei snorted lightly, revealing a little disgust: "Isn't it to deceive those Han family sons? It's just ridiculous that Liu Bingzhong is so talented that he is committed to a barbarian, and he also said that if the enemy enters China, it will be the enemy of China, and if China enters the enemy, it will be the enemy, which is really a big joke in the world." Speaking of this, Zhang Wei's mood became excited, and he was also full of disdain for Liu Bingzhong and others.

Years of Chinese orthodox education have long been ingrained in the minds of Zhang Wei and others, and they naturally regard Liu Bingzhong and others as heretics.

"That's too much. ”

Lu Wenhuan was secretly frightened, he also conceited some literary reputations, although he felt pity for northern literati such as Liu Bingzhong, but he also maintained considerable respect, but he was far from being as full of indignation as Zhang Wei, he just thought that it was his own master, and there was nothing else to do.

Zhang Wei noticed Lu Wenhuan's expression, so he said: "This is also counted? In my opinion, this Liu Bingzhong has already lost his courtesy, righteousness and shame, and actually threw himself into the Tartar? ”

Just like the performance of the fanatical believer, Lu Wenhuan felt scared, but he remembered the officers sent by the Huaxia Army when Lu Wende opened the competition.

Although these officers are also modest and modest, if they mention Mongolia, they are not like facing a great enemy, and regard them as lifelong enemies, especially those Hanchen who are under Mongolia, and even more verbally criticize them, believing that this group of people has betrayed Chinese culture.

There are many changes, even Lu Wende is frightened, otherwise how could he be so jealous of the Huaxia Army's excuses?

Lu Wenhuan secretly thought in his heart: "What is going on in this Chang'an, how can you get rid of these monsters?" After seeing Zhang Wei's high spirits, as if he was planning to debate with himself about what the topic of Huaxia was, he hurriedly pointed to the sky and said: "Zhang Zhizhou, you have also seen that the assassin has been on the rise, and I still have some things to deal with, I am afraid that I will have to leave." If we have time in the future, how about we talk about it again?"

"Is it already this time?"

Zhang Wei was a little disappointed, he wanted to talk to Lu Wenhuan about Huaxia civilization, but the other party had the intention to refuse, so he had to give up: "I remember, there are still some things in Junzhou that I need to deal with, so I will leave?"

"See you later. ”

Lu Wenhuan shook his hand and left from here.

Zhang Wei saw that the matter had been dealt with, and he was not interested in staying in Xiangyang, so he got up and left this place and returned to Junzhou.

Although the term of office has expired, according to the rules, he will also be transferred to other places, but the next handover still needs Zhang Wei to be present, and there can be no problems because of this.
