Chapter 122: Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang

For conscription, Cangfei also adopts the principle of voluntary, now the population of Daqin is increasing, the land is gradually not enough, and the extra population is difficult to survive, although joining the army is very risky, but it is also a way to survive.

At the same time, there are many people who want to join the army to seek a good future, although most of the people hope to live in peace, but when they see others soaring, they will yearn for further progress, some people study poetry and books, seek fame, some people make a fortune in business, and some people yearn to fight on the battlefield and make contributions.

After knowing that Cang Fei would continue to conquer the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate in the west, completely destroy the Mongols, and prevent the Mongols from resurrecting, many people enthusiastically joined the army.

Compared with the past, the number of people who joined the army is even larger, and most of the troops recruited by the Tumeng army are carefully selected.

When the Tumeng Army was first founded, it didn't matter whether those people were yellow and thin, tall or short, fat or thin, and even female soldiers, they did their best to deal with the Mongols.

After all, the ferocity of the Mongols, the Han people all know, at that time to join the Tumeng army against the Mongols, almost an act of looking for death, unless there is a deep hatred with the Mongols, or desperate will join the Tumeng army, and later the Tumeng army began to develop, can compete with the Mongols, this situation is better.

And now the Tumeng army has won many battles, defeated the Mongols, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, there are not many casualties, but there are more and more opportunities for meritorious service.

What man doesn't want to be famous, even if he takes some risks? It's also worth fighting.

Moreover, Tu Mengjun's preferential treatment for joining the army is also very large, not to mention a large amount of settling-in expenses, and the rewards after retirement are also extremely rich. Even if you don't get promoted and make a fortune, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in the next life.

As a result, the 50 army was recruited, of course, these recruits could not be sent to Xinjiang, most of the recruits were assigned to garrison in various places, and the local elite Tumeng army was transferred to Xinjiang.

One million elite Tumeng troops gathered, and the strength of the Tumeng army in Xinjiang. It is already possible to unite with the two khanates of the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate.

It's just that Cang Fei still didn't risk fighting with the two khanates at the same time, but chose to attack the Ilkhanate alone.

The army was about to march, and the Tumeng army began the swearing-in meeting.

Cangfei is in the first place. There are two generals below him, one is his confidant Yeluqi, and the other is a veteran named Zhang Rou.

This Zhang Rou used to be a general of the Jin State, but later surrendered to the Mongols after the arrival of the Mongols. After Cang Fei led the Tumeng army to revolt and defeat the Mongols. Zhang Rou switched to Tumeng's army again.

This is simply a speculator, although Cang Fei looks down on him, but Zhang Rou is indeed an outstanding general, repeatedly defeated the Mongol army, and later destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali also made some efforts, and also made outstanding contributions in attacking the Mongol tribes in Mobei Mongolia and Xinjiang.

This Zhang Rou is such a talent, Cang Fei will not be because of some of his stains. And ignore him, and value him very much. The mobilization of the troops in the Central Plains was also handled by him Zhang Rou, so Zhang Rou appeared here.

Yeluqi and Zhang Rou each had a young general standing behind them, and Cang Fei looked very angry.

"General Zhang, who is behind you?" asked Cang Fei.

"His Majesty, he is a beloved son, named Zhang Hongfan. Zhang Rou said respectfully.

The corners of Cang Fei's mouth twitched, he looked at Zhang Hongfan, and then at Zhang Rou.

In fact, I don't know much about history Cangfei, Zhang Rou he hadn't heard of it before, but Zhang Hongfan he had heard of it, the person who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty had the greatest credit, and finally destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in the Yashan War, it is said that he was Kublai Khan's confidant and favorite general, Cangfei couldn't imagine that Zhang Rou was Zhang Hongfan's father.

However, Cang Fei has no prejudice against Zhang Hongfan, he also destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and now Zhang Hongfan is Zhang Rou's son, and Zhang Hongfan is a talent that can be created, so he will have one more right-hand man.

Cang Fei turned his head to look at Yeluqi and said, "What about the one behind you?"

Yeluqi said: "His name is Wen Tianxiang, and he was recommended by Guo Jing and Guo Daxia. ”

Cang Fei's expression became even more strange, he looked at Wen Tianxiang, and then at Zhang Hongfan.

At the time of the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Hongfan sided with the Yuan Dynasty, while Wen Tianxiang was an important minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, these two historical enemies are now colleagues, and they are both soldiers under him.

"Do you know each other?" Cang Fei said to Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang.

"Back to His Majesty, the last general and he got acquainted on the way here, and I admired Brother Wen's loyalty and courage very much. Zhang Hongfan said.

"I also have a lot of admiration for Brother Zhang's Wen Taowu strategy. Wen Tianxiang said

Cang Fei shook his head and said, "General Zhang will stay here to garrison, and General Yelu will go with me on the expedition, so you should follow me too." ”

Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang were both overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Rou and Ye Luqi were also happy, the reason why they took Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang with them on such an important occasion was to let them show their faces in front of Cang Fei, as long as Cang Fei noticed Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang, then with a little promotion, Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang would have a bright future.

Cang Fei didn't care what Zhang Rou and Yeluqi thought, since Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang were famous in history, it was not wrong to want to cultivate them.

At the end of the pledge meeting, he set out for the Ilkhanate with an army of 600,000 troops.

On the way, Cang Fei also asked Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang about their situation, and they had some understanding of their situation.

Zhang Hongfan has been fighting with his father Zhang Rou since he was a child, and he knows a lot about the strategy in the army, as if he is the second Zhang Rou.

Wen Tianxiang has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he hated the northern Mongols for poisoning the Central Plains, and later Cangfei appeared to form the Tumeng Army to fight against the Mongols, Wen Tianxiang admired it very much, so he abandoned his pen and went north to participate in the Tumeng Army.

Later, he worked under Guo Jing and was appreciated by Guo Jing, and after Guo Jing left, he recommended him to Yeluqi.

Hearing the experience of Zhang Hongfan and Wen Tianxiang, Cang Fei nodded secretly, Zhang Hongfan didn't say anything, he should be able to become a general in charge in the future, and Wen Tianxiang joined the Tumeng Army early and became a member of Daqin, and he did not die for the Southern Song Dynasty, so he can also cultivate a lot, not to mention the relationship between Guo Jing.

Thinking of Guo Jing, Cang Fei will recall the heroes of the Central Plains, Cang Fei can't help but sigh in his heart, where is he still half a heroic man now, a proper pit and dirty government, and he is going farther and farther on the road to the emperor. (To be continued......)
