    Previous chapter: Chapter 34 New Year's Eve (Part 1) "Keep your hands flat, keep your hands flat, hold your hands steady. Didn't you have breakfast? Or did you leak oil last night and vent all your strength in your crotch?  ! "At the same time, on the school field outside Dadu City, Li Hanqing, the minister of the Ministry of War who had just been resurrected, stared with a ferocious expression.  hua.  Updates so fast.  Standing in front of him were more than 3,000 newly recruited warriors, all of whom were scolded and turned into disgrace.  Breakfast was indeed eaten, and everyone was given a large bowl full of dry rice.  However, a full two and a half hours have passed since morning.  The second meal time of the day never came.  Now everyone's belly has already been pressed against the back of the chest.  He was so hungry that he was stabbed forward repeatedly with a wooden stick. Isn't this just a fool's errand?  No one who is willing to be recruited into the newly formed food guard in the imperial court is a fool.  On the contrary, they are also well-known figures in the villages and towns around the capital city.  He has a wide acquaintance, far-reaching knowledge, and great sense of loyalty. He can stand people on his fists and run horses on his arms.  However, no matter how thick the arms are, they can't twist the big legs.  Suddenly, the imperial court issued an edict, ordering brave men from the countryside to join the army to protect the country and kill the thieves.  Local officials started recruiting people based on reputation.  ¡®Aren¡¯t you highly skilled in martial arts?  Aren't you always known as the timely rain, loyal and filial man? Come here and press your fingerprints, and this new clothes will be yours!  Wear it and go to the Yamen to report, and rush to the capital city to serve the emperor three days later!  If you don¡¯t go, you will be disobeying the decree and being disrespectful. You can weigh the consequences yourself. The heroes and villains who can walk sideways among the people usually know who they can offend and who they can¡¯t offend.  After repeated considerations, except for a very small number of people, they ran away overnight and fled to the south.  Most of them collected their money from extortion, dismissed their disciples and disciples, and went to the Yamen to apply for the job honestly.  As soon as he left, Xiao Lang was a passerby from now on.  , the full name is Zhongyihu.  It was a new army that Tuohuan Timur specially ordered the Ministry of War to establish after he turned against his own son.  This army abandoned the crossbows and spears that were necessary for the elites of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, and replaced them with muskets and artillery made with a lot of money by the Ordnance Bureau.  Every gun barrel and gun barrel is made of bronze, and the price is horrifyingly high.  However, the quality of every musket and artillery has been personally tested by Liuzhi Guo Shu. It will never explode like before, and the effect of killing one's own people is better than that of the enemy.  It¡¯s strange to say that after spending so much money to build a pure firearms force, Dayuan¡¯s treasury did not bottom out this year.  The first credit here must be attributed to the former prime minister Hama who ran away.  (hua) If he had not given up the attempt to eliminate Huaiyang during his term, resolutely recuperated, and imitated Huaiyang to open factories and workshops on both sides of the Sanggan River, and vigorously set up pastures to raise sheep, the Yuan Dynasty's treasury would have been  You definitely can't collect that much tax money.  As for the second credit, we have to thank those "rebellious" ministers and traitors who followed the crown prince Aiyou Shili Dala and conspired against him. It was precisely because they ruthlessly copied them in Dadu, Baoding, Shunde, and Yong.  Only with equal family property can the court have more surplus.  In order to put Tuohuan Timur's long-awaited pure firearms army into reality regardless of the cost.  As for the generals of this army, naturally they can no longer choose old men like Tulu Timur and Dingzhu.  The former is Hama's brother-in-law. Although he has secretly started to destroy his relatives for a long time, Hama is still alive. Who knows whether the connection between them will be severed.  The latter has the power of the prime minister. If he has military power again, he may become the second Boyan, Tuotuo or Hama.  However, Tuohuan Timur could not guarantee that he would still have the strength to kill another prime minister in two years.  So after repeated weighings, Tuohuan Timur made a painful decision and 'handed over' the command of Zhongyihu to the hands of Halazhang, who had just been recovered from the people.  Nahalazhang was the eldest son of the former Prime Minister Tuotuo. After his father "died unjustly", he and his younger brother Sanbaonu suffered a lot.  He even faked his death for a long time to hide his name according to the idea of ??his father's personal pupil Li Hanqing.  It wasn't until Hama resigned as prime minister some time ago and Tuohuan Timur listened to Dingzhu's suggestion and ordered Zhaoxue to rehabilitate Tuituo that the brothers returned to Dadu under the protection of Li Hanqing, Haban and others, and kowtowed to the emperor.  kindness.  Zhaoxue naturally has to make some compensation.  As a result, Ha Gaozhang transformed from the son of a sinner to Duke Shen of the Yuan Dynasty, Pingzhang Zhengshi, and Minister of the Ministry of War.  His younger brother Sanbaonu was also granted the title of Duke of Qi County, in charge of writing and censorship.  Ha Gaozhang and Sanbaonu both cried with gratitude and took the initiative to enter the palace many times to thank the emperor for his kindness.  Tuohuan Timur saw that both of them were sincere, and there was really no good candidate available, so he simply granted military power directly, hoping that Harazhang would inherit his father's unfinished business and "pacify" Huaiyang as soon as possible.  The cold talk between the two brothers ignited the fire again. Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui, and Sha Laban, the three troubled brothers who had accompanied Tuotuo through the last journey of their lives, were in trouble.Brother, of course we cannot be forgotten.  As a result, after more than two years, Li Hanqing, the minister of the Ministry of War, Gong Bosui, the counselor of Jiangbei Province in Henan, and the ten thousand households of the Salah Ban of the Red Army of the Provincial Ma Army were all reinstated to their posts.  In view of the actual situation of the Yuan Dynasty and the abilities of the three of them, Tuohuan Timur specially asked Prime Minister Dingzhu to issue an order to have Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui and Salaban join the Zhongyi Guards to assist Harazhang and the Sanbaonu brothers in training.  The soldiers rehearsed in formation, preparing to kill thieves for the country.  As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office.  Although Harazhang himself was a young master and had not learned even one-tenth of his father Tuotuo's skills, Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui and Saraban had gained some true inheritance because they had followed Tuotuo's horse all year round.  Seeing that the brothers Ga Gaozhang and Sanbaonu were at a loss, the three of them discussed it and simply took over all military affairs on behalf of the coach.  From daily training, maintenance of military discipline, rewards and punishments for personnel promotions, to food and grass supplies, weapons distribution and storage, everything is taken care of.  In this way, the two brothers Ga Gaozhang and Sanbaonu were relieved.  Those "righteous men" below who had just been forcibly recruited into the army were in bad luck.  Although they were usually worth ten in the streets and in the countryside, compared with Tuo Tuo's elite soldiers back then, they were not impressive at all.  Not to mention that Li Hanqing still had the intention to compare them with the elite of the Huai'an army, and vowed to make Butcher Zhu pay with his blood.  So, throughout the winter, the school grounds outside Dadu City were filled with howling ghosts and wolves every day.  Li Hanqing firmly believed that Ci did not control troops, so he did not care about the casualties during training.  Anyway, with the expansion of the city and the rapid increase of pastures, there are more and more "heroes and heroes" doing nothing inside and outside the city.  During training, more than a dozen people died, and dozens or even hundreds were disabled, and the local officials could soon "recruit" to replace them.  The local officials of Zhongshu Province are also willing to send all the "thornheads" from various autonomous regions into the army.  Anyway, whether they stay in the end, or die or become disabled during training, these people will never be able to go back to Hengxing Township. Invisibly, they are equivalent to maintaining local peace.  But just practicing rigorously may not necessarily create an invincible army.  In the days after Tuotuo's death, Li Hanqing spent most of his time traveling around and increasing his knowledge, except for the time he spent settling down the two brothers Ga Gaozhang and Sanbaonu.  Not only did he dress up as a Taoist priest and observe the Huai'an army at close range, he also secretly visited Hezhou, Chizhou and Bianliang.  After some summary, he came to a conclusion.  If an army wants to be victorious in every battle, and if it wants its brothers to die in vain, in addition to strict training, clear rewards and punishments, and sharp weapons, it also needs to make the vast majority of the people in the team believe that what they are doing is correct.  Just, I believe that their coach is leading everyone to do justice for heaven.  And the justice in Li Hanqing's eyes is completely different from that of Zhu Buthu and others.  The justice in the eyes of Zhu Tuhuang, Zhu Beggar, Liu Futong and other "traitors" is to "drive out the Tartars", but the justice in the eyes of Li Hanqing is "to wipe out the rebels and bandits and restore peace to the world!" And Li Hanqing, who supports him, believes in his own  Justice, or the way to find ways to convince others that they are on the side of justice is to repeatedly compare the "peace and prosperity" of Zhu Buthu and others before the rebellion with the "chaos and poverty" of Zhu Butcher and others after the rebellion.  Everyone in the Zhongyi Guards believed that the reason why their lives were getting worse and worse and the reason why they were forcibly recruited into the army was not because of the improper government orders of the Yuan Dynasty, but because Zhu Butcher rebelled, which resulted in the court having to spend most of the money.  and energy to deal with the rebels, but no longer able to maintain the place.  As for examples of peace and prosperity, they are easy to find.  Even in poorest places, there are people who once lived a prosperous life. However, with the rise of workshops and ranches in the past two years, there are many people whose family fortunes have suddenly declined.  By selecting these examples purposefully and polishing them, it is not difficult to prove that Zhu Tuhuang and his Huai'an army were the source of all evil.  "Who made us have land and not be able to farm! Who made us have homes and not be able to return?" In the howling north wind, Li Hanqing suddenly stopped shouting orders.  Instead, he raised a tin trumpet and asked questions in public.  Every word was frozen into white mist at the mouth of the iron trumpet, floating and lingering for a long time.  "Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu!" The clam class and several servants stood at the front of the team, taking the lead in raising their arms and shouting.  "Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu!" The surrounding guards looked at each other and had to shout to follow.  Butcher Zhu is far away in Huaiyang, and his image is very illusory.  But if they don't shout loud enough, they will have to stand on the school field and suffer from the cold. However, this is a reality very close to home.  "Who made all the money away, so that our women can't wear new clothes? Who controlled the north-south water transportation route, so that everyone's children don't have enough to eat? Who is the sheep?"  "Butcher Zhu! Butcher Zhu!" This time, there is no need for clams.?Take the lead, and all the soldiers will respond in unison.  Those Huaiyang people are so abominable that they can exchange an entire ship's wool for just a thin piece of mirror.  And for every dozen more sheep raised, an acre of good land will be turned into pasture.  For this reason, tenants who have lost their livelihood and are displaced are everywhere.  If they can't find anything to do in the black-hearted workshops in the city, the entire family will starve to death before winter is over.  "Who stole everyone's money? Who forced the court to increase the taxes? Who left the brothers with no land to farm and no serious things to do?" Unknowingly, Li Hanqing  He was moved by his carefully concocted lies and burst into tears.  ¡°Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu, Butcher Zhu!¡± There were cries of grief and indignation everywhere.  The heroes and heroines who were forcibly recruited into the army picked up wooden fake muskets and stabbed forward with all their strength, as if their sworn enemies were hidden in the howling north wind.
