Zhao Bing looked at Duke Zhuang with a bitter look and laughed. It was he who turned a gentleman into a villain who was "profit-oriented" and ruined his reputation. But he did not think it was harming him. In theory, he chose fair and clear people. But to be honest, it was okay for such people to engage in education or write books and study. If he became an official, his career would be very difficult.

Zhao Bing thought this way was not an exaggeration. There are many examples in history. I think Hai Rui was a famous honest official and had not met a wise master. Not only was he rare to use it, but he was also suppressed and excluded by his colleagues and eventually exiled to the outside world. His evening scene was sad. If it were his teacher Deng Guangjian, if he had not been to stand up for him and support him, he would have been demoted.

Of course, this can be said that Zhao Bing likes to appoint villains but not gentlemen. Because he knows that the officialdom is dark and the world is complicated, an official who is too old-fashioned and law-abiding can't deal with it. Therefore, he needs an official who can keep his original heart but can face the complex world, which means that he must be able to adhere to principles and flexibly apply the rules.

Now the Song Dynasty has occupied half of the country, and not only needs to explore new land, but also consolidate the internal structure. If the backyard is stable and the power is stable, it is necessary to suppress the traditional conservative forces of the gentry that can influence the political situation and cultivate and establish a new bureaucratic system. He has long been secretly planning this work and consciously cultivating "his own people", of course it is not limited to the military system.

The Zhuang brothers were the first old man to join the General's Mansion, and they were from Zhao Bing's fiefdom. They should be said to be naturally their own people. He did not treat the Zhuang brothers badly. The eldest son Zhuang Gongzhe joined the Military Affairs Office in Qiongzhou as assistant manager, and now he is the governor of Guangzhou; the second son Zhuang Siqi served in the army and is now the leader of the army guarding one side; the third son had no intention of career and voluntarily guarding the family temple. After regaining Quanzhou, he had moved back to his hometown; unfortunately, the fourth son died in Quanzhou in his early years, otherwise he would have been a powerful general.

The Zhuangjia is famous in Quanzhou area, but he has only studied for generations. Some of the family have served as small officials, but have never been a prime minister and have limited influence. Many children of the Quanzhou Xueye family died of martyrs. Since then, their brothers have joined the General's Mansion and have been away for many years. The family has long been defeated. Zhao Bing has supported them, so how can they not let their brothers be grateful?

Duke Zhuang has been following Zhao Bing for many years. Although the grade has only been raised in recent years, he has always been at the center and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. And now the group of old ministers have reached the age of retirement. It is the time to renew that he wants to take the opportunity to arrange him into the court. Letting him negotiate with Ma Shao not only give him a long experience, but also lay the foundation for his promotion. Unfortunately, Duke Zhuang is not only unhappy, but also thinks that he let him tear off his gentleness and become a villain.

This time, Duke Zhuang "swapped" three thousand horses from Tuohuan, but did not take credit. Instead, he claimed that it was sent by the Mongol Ten Thousand Hushuertai, which could not be considered fake, but it was not that simple. For this reason, both sides fought fiercely...

The matter still has to start with Yuxi Timuer's bluffing and pretending to be a powerful army to support Yangzhou. According to the habit of marching in the Mongolian and Yuan marching in the local area, they did not carry baggage, but were provided by the prefectures and counties. After the Song army captured Taizhou, due to military restrictions, they could not occupy all the county towns and could not control all villages and towns. They just swept away the Mongol military farm sites.

In order to be able to make a 100,000 army with one army, Zhahuertai not only lengthened the marching force, but also sent people to prepare food and grass according to the conventions, and sent them to villages and towns that had not been occupied and controlled by the Song army. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, the officials who controlled the grassroots level had to force them to rob them, so that things could happen.

After Mongolia invaded the Central Plains and occupied Jiangnan, it began to implement the "Ten House Chief System". The so-called "Ten House Chief System" was to effectively control the grassroots. The Mongolian Yuan court divided the Han people across the country into small units of ten households according to their families. Each such small unit was to place a Mongolian leader - Ten House Chiefs, that is, the parents of these ten households. The only function of this leader is to comprehensively supervise and lead the farming and all activities of these ten households, that is, all activities of these ten households were carried out under the rule of this Mongolian parent.

What is this policy? It is also different from the "baojia system" implemented by the Central Plains dynasty. In addition to leading and dominating the farming and all activities of the ten families, the ten families are also supported by the ten families with delicious food and drink, and is also managing the daily interpersonal communication, diet, daily life and other activities of the ten families. It is equivalent to the king of the ten families. In other words, the ten Mongolian families are a slave owner who rides on the heads of the Han people.

This slave owner didn't care about the feelings and life or death of the people. The most incredible, inhumane, and unacceptable thing was that this "ten-household chief" forced rape when he saw a daughter of a little beauty, or took it for himself. If he married a new wife, he had to go to the bridal chamber with him first. If he had a beauty, he would become a long-term **. It was really a ridiculous and shameful national shame that he imposed this great shame on every Han family.

The implementation of this policy has allowed the children born to most women of the Han people to be Mongolian and Yuan hybrids. What survived was the children born to a few extremely ugly Han women. Over time, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and almost all the Han people have become Mongolian and Yuan hybrids in terms of blood. It can even be said that starting from the hybrid generation and developing to the hybrid generation for several generations, the Han people can be transformed into Mongolians.

From today's perspective, the consequences of the bloodline improvement caused by this absurd policy are very serious, and it inspired the fighting spirit of strong oppression by the Han people. It was this ridiculous and inhumane policy in history that pushed the vast Yuan Empire into the abyss of destruction. At least it shows that rule that is unpopular to the people will not last long, and at least the practice of only focusing on the interests of the ruling class will eventually plant the root of the destruction of the country.

Of course, the people today cannot see that far, but these spiritual, physical and economic oppression have caused anti-Yuan movements to rise one after another, and social unrest, which can be said to have reached the critical point of outbreak. Last year, in order to solve the financial crisis of the court, Sang Ge promoted the hook test and increased taxes, which made the grassroots people even more miserable. The Zhahuertai's forced collection of food and grass became the catalyst for the incident.

In a village with about 300 households near Taizhou, some people became murderous when it was difficult to complete the task, and their spearhead was naturally directed at the ten most grassroots heads. So they secretly connected and made an appointment to kill the ten households on their heads, and defected to the Song army to Jiangnan to get rid of the harsh government.

However, the matter was hasty and it was difficult to make careful plans. As a result, some people killed their ten households as promised, while some people did not immediately take action because of their timidity. When they asked about the situation the next morning and learned that many ten households were killed, they also plucked up their courage to kill the ten households in their family. When the news had leaked, they had escaped. Seeing that the matter had been revealed, they all began to flee and ran towards Taizhou, but they also attracted the followers and chases of Mongolian soldiers.

The fleeing people were caught up by the Yuan army more than ten miles away from Taizhou City, and happened to meet a Song army that had just returned from sweeping. However, the troops on both sides were very different. The Yuan army pursuing was a team of thousands of cavalry, while the Song army had only one infantry battalion. In the open field, the cavalry was the natural enemies of the infantry, not to mention the fact that the troops were very different. However, the Song army did not retreat, but quickly occupied a high slope and set up a hollow formation facing the enemy in all directions, surrounding the people who fled here, and at the same time sent people to seek help from Taizhou City.

In this encounter, both sides were actually afraid of being beaten by the wolf. The Yuan army had known that Taizhou had fallen and had more than 10,000 Song troops stationed, and it was not too far from Yangzhou. There were still tens of thousands of besieged troops there, and it took only more than an hour to send cavalry to aid at full speed. Then they would face the dilemma of being surrounded by counter-encirclement. In addition, they pretended to be large troops and were responsible for feinting tasks. Once the two sides were in a stalemate and continued to invest their troops, there was a possibility of being exposed. So they were determined to fight quickly.

The situation faced by the Song army is similar. Most of the troops in Taizhou City have been redirected to Jiangnan to participate in the task of encircling and annihilation of the enemy invading the south. There are only more than a thousand troops left in the city. They continue to send troops to sweep the surrounding areas to show that they have sufficient troops. They not only have the ability to defend the city, but also have the spare strength to clear out the remaining enemies and block the enemies who have passed by. But in fact, it is an empty city strategy. Even if they are out, they cannot encircle and annihilate the enemy that has entered the ground of Taizhou. If the troops are not moved, the surrounding troops outside the city are at risk of being annihilated. If they do not send troops, there will be a risk of being exposed.

When Li Gui met Li Gui, the battle was interesting, it depends on who could scare whom. The Song army outside the city had few troops and could not arrange a linear array to fight the enemy. They could only rely on temporary simple fortifications to fight the impact of the Yuan army cavalry with muskets, grenades and battalion mortar teams. The Yuan army knew that they were in danger and did not dare to attack with all their might. Instead, they sent a lot of troops to guard the four sides to prevent being surrounded by the Song army who came out to help. In this way, the Song army actually repelled several tentative attacks of the Yuan army.

Jiang Fan, the commander of the Third Division of the Second Army, guarding Taizhou, made a quick decision and personally led all the remaining troops to provide assistance. After breaking through the alert of the Yuan army, he used the bayonet tactics to use the bayonets to shoot four-wheeled shotguns with only a few rapid-fire cannons, which actually dispersed the enemy cavalry's formation. Then the entire army launched a bayonet with a scattered formation.
