Chapter 35: New Year's Eve (Part 2)

Previous Chapter: Chapter 34 Year End (Part 1)

"Hand flat, flat, steady, have you not had breakfast? Or did you leak oil last night and drain all your strength into your crotch?!" At the same time, on the school ground outside the capital, Li Hanqing, the "Servant" of the Ministry of War, who had just been restored, stared at her eyes and looked ferocious. Hua. Updated so quickly.

Standing in front of him were more than 3,000 warriors who had just been recruited, one by one being scolded to death.

I did have breakfast, and everyone gave me a large bowl of dry rice. However, two and a half hours have passed since the morning. The second meal time of the day has not arrived yet. Now everyone's stomachs have already put their chests on the back of the back. When they are so hungry, they still hold a wooden stick and repeatedly stab it. Isn't this just a fool?

None of the newly formed food-protected food in the imperial court were fools. On the contrary, they were all famous figures in the ten miles around the capital. They usually traveled extensively, had lofty knowledge, and were loyal. They could stand on their fists and run horses on their arms. However, no matter how thick the arms were, they could not twist their legs. The imperial court suddenly issued an edict, ordering those with bravery from the country to join the army to protect the country and kill the thieves. Local officials began to recruit people according to their fame. 'Aren't you good martial arts skills? Are you always known as timely rain, Zhongxiaolang, come and press a handprint. You will be yours in new clothes! Wear it and report to the yamen. Three days later, rush to the capital to serve the emperor! If you don’t go, you will be disrespectful. What are the consequences? You should consider it yourself. The heroes and heroes who can walk sideways among the people usually know who they can afford to provoke and who they can’t afford to provoke. After repeated consideration, except for a very small number of people who ran away overnight and fled to the south. Most of them packed up the money they had usually extorted, dismissed their disciples and grandchildren, and went to the yamen to apply for recruitment. After leaving, Xiao Lang was a passerby since then.

Hu, the full name is Zhongyi Hu. It is a new army established by Tohwan Timur after he turned against his son. The army abandoned the crossbows and spears that were necessary for the Dayuan "Essence" in the past, and replaced it with muskets and cannons made by the Military Weapon Bureau. Each barrel and cannon was cast in bronze, and the price was terrifyingly high. However, the quality of each musket and cannon was tested by Liuzhi Guo Shu himself, and it would never explode like before. The effect of killing one's own people was better than killing the enemy.

It's strange that the "spending" to build a pure firearm unit at such a high cost, the treasury of the Dayuan treasury has not yet come to an end this year. The first contribution here has to be the former prime minister Hamatou who ran away. (hua) If he had not given up his attempt to eliminate Huaiyang during his tenure, he would have decisively rested and relied on the rest of the country, and decisively imitated Huaiyang to open factory workshops on both sides of the Sanggan River and vigorously established ranches to raise sheep, the treasury of the Dayuan dynasty would definitely not be able to collect so much tax and silver in the treasury of the Dayuan dynasty. As for the second contribution, we have to thank the treasury of the "chaotic" ministers and thieves who followed the Crown Prince Aiyou Shilidala to rebel. It was precisely because of the ruthless copying of the property of these people in Dadu, Baoding, Shunde, and Yongping that the court had more surplus. It was possible that the Pure Firearm Army, which Tuohuan Timur had been tempted for a long time, could be put into practice at all costs.

As for the chief general of this army, naturally, he could not choose Tulu Timur and Dingzhu. The former was Hama's brother-in-law. Although he had already begun to destroy his relatives for justice, Hama has not yet died. Who knows if they will be inseparable from each other? The latter is in power. If he has military power, he may become the second Boyan, Tuotuo or Hama. However, Tuohuan Timur cannot guarantee that he still has the strength to kill another prime minister in two years.

So after repeated weighing, Tuhuan Timur made up his mind to "pass" the command of Zhongyigu to Halazhang, who had just recovered from the people.

Nahalazhang was the eldest son of former prime minister Tuotuo. After his father's "unjust death" died, he suffered a lot with his younger brother Sanbaonu. He even pretended to die for a long time according to his father's personal letter boy Li Hanqing. It was not until a while ago that Hama had stopped his preface and Thuhuan Timur listened to Dingzhu's suggestion and ordered Tuotuo to be rehabilitated. The two brothers returned to Dadu under the protection of Li Hanqing, Kama Ban and others to thank the emperor for their kindness.

Zhaoxue naturally had some compensation. So, Humiaozhang transformed from a sinner's son to a Duke of Shen, the State of Shen of the Yuan Dynasty, and Pingzhang, and the Minister of War. His younger brother Sanbaonu also made him a Duke of Qi County and a Censor of the Book of Documents. Humiaozhang and Sanbaonu both censored and censored, and took the initiative to enter the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness. Seeing that they were sincere, and there was indeed no good candidates available, he simply granted military power directly, hoping that Halazhang would inherit his father's unfinished career and "dou" pacify Huaiyang as soon as possible.

The two brothers lit up the cold stove again. Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui, and Shalaban, the three brothers who had accompanied Tuotuo through the last journey of their lives, certainly cannot be forgotten. So, after more than two years, Li Hanqing, the "Servant" of the Ministry of War, Gong Bosui, the governor of Jiangbei Province in Henan Province, and all of them were restored to their posts. Given the actual situation of the Great Yuan Dynasty and the ability of the three, Tuohuan Timur specially asked the Prime Minister Dingzhu to issue an order, and Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui and Shalaban all entered Zhongyigu, assisting Halazhang and the Sanbaonu brothers to train soldiers, rehearse the array, and prepare to make contributions to the country to kill the thieves.

It is said that the new official took office for three fires. Although Halazhang himself was a young man and had not even learned one-tenth of his father Tutuo's ability, Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui and Shalaban had obtained some true teachings because they followed Tutuo's saddle for many years. Seeing the clams, the two brothers Sanbaonu were at a loss. After the three discussed, they simply worked for the commander and took over all military affairs. From daily training, military discipline maintenance, personnel promotion and rewards, to food and grass supply, weapons distribution and reserves, they all took care of them.

In this way, the two brothers, Clam Zhang and Sanbaonu, were relieved. The "righteous men" who had just been forced to enlist in the army were in trouble. Although they were always the ones in the streets and in the countryside, they were not enough to compare with the "Essence" soldiers under Tuotuo's tent back then. Not to mention that Li Hanqing was still determined to compare them with the "Essence" of Huai'an Army, and vowed to let Zhu Butcher pay his blood debts.

As a result, throughout the winter, there were ghosts and wolves howling every day in the schoolyard outside the capital. Li Hanqing firmly believed that kindness was not in charge of the troops, so he didn't care about the casualties and losses during training. Anyway, with the expansion of the city's scale and the rapid increase of pastures, more than a dozen "heroes" who did nothing in the city and outside the city were doing nothing. During training, dozens or even hundreds of them were injured, and soon the governments in various places could be "recruited" again. The local officials in the Secretariat were willing to send all the "thorns" under their respective rule into the army. Anyway, whether they were staying in the end or dead or disabled during training, these people could never go back to the countryside, which was invisibly equivalent to maintaining local peace.

But just strict exercise may not necessarily create an invincible hero. In the days after Tuotuo's death, Li Hanqing, in addition to the two brothers Clam Zhang and Sanbaonu, spent most of his other kung fu "spending" traveling around and increasing his knowledge. Not only did he dress up as a Taoist priest, he observed the Huai'an army at close range, but he also secretly went to Hezhou, Chizhou, and Bianliang. After a summary, he came to the conclusion that an army wanted to win every battle and wanted to make his brother

The brothers died without turning back. In addition to strict training, clear rewards and punishments, and sharp weapons, the vast majority of people in the team believed that what they did was just and that their coach was leading everyone to do the same. And the justice in Li Hanqing's eyes was absolutely different from that in Zhu Tuhu and others. The justice in Zhu Tuhuang, Zhu Beggar, Liu Futong and other "thieves" were "expelling the Tartars", but the justice in Li Hanqing's eyes was "sweeping out the rebel bandits and bandits and returning peace to the world!"

The way to support him, Li Hanqing, believes in his own justice, or finds every means to make others believe that they stand on the justice side is to compare the "peaceful and prosperous" before Zhu Tuhu and others rebelled with the "'chaos' and chaotic' poverty" after Zhu Tuhu and others rebelled, so that everyone in the loyal and righteous protection believed that the reason why their lives were getting worse and worse and were forced to enlist in the army was not because the Yuan Dynasty court was inappropriate, but because Zhu Tuhu and others rebelled, which led to the court having to use most of their money and "spiritual" to deal with the rebels and they were unable to maintain the place anymore.

As for examples of peace and wealth, it is easy to find. Even in the poorest places, some people have lived a wealthy life. In the past two years, with the rise of workshops and pastures, there are many people who suddenly fall into the family. If you choose these examples purposefully and then process them through "sex", it is not difficult to prove that Zhu Tuhuang and his Huai'an army are the root of all sins.

"Who made everyone unable to plant it? Who made everyone unable to go home?" In the howling north wind, Li Hanqing suddenly stopped calling. Instead, he raised an iron trumpet and asked in public. Every word was frozen into white mist at the mouth of the iron trumpet, floating and swaying for a long time.

"Zhu butcher, Zhu butcher, Zhu butcher!" The clam squad led several servants to stand in the front row of the team, taking the lead in raising his arms and shouting.

"Zhu Butcher, Zhu Butcher, Zhu Butcher!" The guards around looked at each other and had to follow loudly. Zhu Butcher was far away in Huaiyang, and his image was very illusory. But if they didn't shout loud enough, they had to continue standing on the school ground and were frozen, which was a reality that was close to each other.

"Who made all the money away so that everyone's 'women' could not wear new clothes? Who did they control the north and south water grain transportation routes and make everyone's children unable to eat enough? Who did they make sheep's 'wool' into sky-high prices and turn good fertile fields into pastures?!"

"Zhu butcher! Zhu butcher, Zhu butcher!" This time, without taking the lead in the clam squad, the soldiers responded in unison.

Those Huaiyang people were so hateful that they could exchange the whole ship of sheep's wool with a thin mirror. And every time they raised more than a dozen sheep, a good acre of land would become a pasture. For this reason, now they lost their livelihoods and were displaced tenants everywhere. If they could not find anything in the black-hearted workshops in the city, they would not wait for the winter to pass, and the whole family would become hungry.

"Who did you steal everyone's money? Who did you 'force' the court to add one plus another tax? Who did you make your brothers have no land to plant and no serious things to do?" Unconsciously, Li Hanqing was moved by the lie he had conspired to be concocted by his own 'intellectual' and burst into tears.

"Zhu butcher, Zhu butcher, Zhu butcher!" Across the crowd, the screams of grief and anger, sounded a whole lot. The heroes and young heroes who were forced to join the army picked up wooden fake muskets and stabbed forward hard, as if in the howling north wind, they were hiding their irreconcilable enemies.
