"The bandits in the southern part of the Central Plains are a big scourge, and even the yeoman farmers will be enslaved by them!"

"They are not the Red Eyebrow Army and the Wagang Army at all, they are more ruthless bandits than the Liuqiu Pirates!!"

Similar news has been circulating among many large households in the northern part of the Central Plains.

Some of the members of the big families who escaped by luck had already spread the situation to the ------- and listened to the cries of the same kind, and the big families who had not yet suffered were shocked!

They went from sitting and watching when the so-called Red Mei Army and Wagang Army first emerged, and immediately changed to an attitude of actively participating in the suppression of bandits, not eliminating those bandits, and when they become bigger and stronger again, everyone will not have a good life!

Those big families unconsciously united, put out their leaders, and sent people to the capital to cry and beg Kublai Khan, the big leader of the Tatar bandit group, to save the people from fire and water!

At that time, where did the big leader Kublai Khan have the heart to manage the bandits in the southern part of the Central Plains, and the Liuqiu pirates who occupied the Shandong region were the real troubles------ he concentrated the elite cavalry and loyal soldiers, and he didn't expect that the first time he encircled and suppressed them, he would be defeated!

Back then, he sent far fewer troops than now to encircle and suppress the rebel Li Tan------ Li Tan's men were far more numerous than the pirates, at that time it was a victory in a battle, and it was not long before the suppression was completed, and even the Song army that secretly supported Li Tan was defeated and retreated------ but what happened now? ?

The fiasco of the first battle made him wonder, and the other Tatar nobles were even more distressed by their losses, those were warriors among the Tatars------- for a while, there was chaos in the capital.

Have times changed?!

After the main general Hua Bulihua and the deputy general Zhang Hongfan settled the remnants of their defeated army, they had to go back to Dadu to plead guilty------- their army was no longer formed.

The Tatar bandit group has never had a tradition of punishing defeated generals, they were originally born as itinerant bandits, victory or defeat is a common thing, victory, murder and robbery; When he was defeated, he fled.

If you kill a group of people after one defeat, then they may kill themselves themselves.

In front of the big leader Kublai Khan and many Tatar nobles, as well as the Hui ministers and the northern Han ministers, the two told the whole battle in detail.

A bandit group that even has to sing to pass on military orders may hate written reports the most.

The statements of the two made everyone fall into deep thought.

The stage of distressed loss has passed------ but in the future, where will they go?!

The pirates of Liuqiu have so many firearms!

They even have cavalry!

------- my Tatar warriors are the best in the world, how can they not be their opponents!

The whole scene was a little depressing for a while.

Kublai Khan, the big leader, suddenly shouted: "They are extremely cowardly rats, I can't wait to be attacked by them, do they dare to fight us?!" ”

His voice echoed throughout the Golden Dome Tent.

The entire capital is still under construction------- and as mentioned above, the construction of a new palace and capital has only begun in 1267.

Up to now, Liu Bingzhong, an official of Zhongshu Province, is the general person in charge of the construction of the capital, and the Hui craftsman is also responsible for the design of the new palace.

In his later years, Guo Shoujing also served as the water supervisor of the capital, repaired the canal from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to Tongzhou, and used the springs in the northwest of Beijing as the upstream water source of the Tonghui River.

So at that time, they still needed to be in the big tent------ Tatars and Hui ministers did not feel any difference, and there was no inconvenience for them to live in tents.

As for the many Han ministers, most of them still choose some Han people's houses.

The big boss Kublai Khan's eyes flashed with anger, but his tone was a little calmer------What's the use of being angry?! To solve the problem!!

"Those pirates still don't dare to take half a step out of Shandong, do they?"

Hua Buli's main general and Zhang Hongfan's deputy said yes.

The gaze of the big leader Kublai Khan sharpened------ what are the characteristics of the robbers? It's good at finding each other's shortcomings!

With a wave of his hand, he told the Hanchen to all go out, and now that he didn't think they were needed------ he was going to discuss military affairs with the Tatar nobles.

No one knew what they were discussing, and the Hanchens all felt left out.

However, their opportunity soon came------- the big families in the northern part of the Central Plains sent people to ask for troops to suppress the bandits!

The Hanchens feel that the people's hearts are available, and this is an opportunity to operate well.

The lieutenant general Zhang Hongfan was snubbed at that time, and many Tatar nobles thought that after all, it was their own warriors who were useful, and the use of the northern Han people would not be too great------- and they selectively forgot the praise that Zhang Hongfan had received before.

However, the deputy general Zhang Hongfan is the hope of the Hanchens!

At present, using the so-called Han Law and Han Li to govern the world will obviously not win the favor of the big boss Kublai Khan------ it is the most useful to get money or lead troops to fight.

The deputy general Zhang Hongfan can lead the troops to fight, and he has previous military exploits, which is undoubtedly the hope of Hanchen.

Now that the times have changed------ Xu Heng, as the teacher of the prince Zhenjin and Zhongshu Cheng Antong, can be said to be a representative of Hanchen who is not high but has great prestige.

After learning about the begging soldiers of the large households in the northern part of the Central Plains, he summoned some Han Chen, especially the deputy general Zhang Hongfan, who was now being snubbed.

Everyone began to discuss this matter------ which was related to the future of every Hanchen, and no one did not take it seriously.

Vice General Zhang Hongfan was a little lost at that time, which was seen by Xu Heng, young people, suffered a little setback, it is inevitable that this will happen.

Xu Heng stroked his long white beard and said: "The old man heard that the pirates of Guoliu Qiu have some Qimen Dunjia techniques------ it is normal to be defeated by them------ but the old man knows a person, he knows astronomy and geography, and is good at ingenuity, so he must be the nemesis of Liuqiu pirates!" ”

Vice General Zhang Hongfan's eyes lit up, do I really have such a person in Dayuan??

"This person is Master Guo, who is the secretary of the Taishi Academy------"

With Xu Heng's introduction, a tall man with a gloomy face, a slight beard, stood up and saluted the deputy general Zhang Hongfan.

This person is Guo Shoujing, a native of Xingtai, Shunde, who is forty-six years old.

He inherited his grandfather Guo Rong's family education and studied astronomy, arithmetic, and water conservancy.

Last year, under the order of Kublai Khan, the big boss, a new calendar was formulated, and Zhang Wenqian and others presided over the establishment of a new calendar organization, the Taishi Bureau.

The Taishi Bureau is in charge of Wang Sui, assisted by Guo Shoujing, who is also known as the Taishi Academy.

Academically, Wang is in charge of calculations, and Guo is in charge of making instruments and observations.

Guo Shoujing is good at ingenuity, during this period he created and improved the simple instrument, high meter, polar meter, armillary phenomenon, elevation instrument, vertical fortune instrument, Jingfu, peep a few and so on more than a dozen pieces of astronomical instruments------ although most of the Hanchen did not know what it was for, but it was also passed on for a time.

But later, the big leader Kublai Khan didn't pay attention to this matter at all due to the tight war, and all supplies were much less, or even ignored-------

Guo Shoujing, the secretary of the Tongzhi Taishi Academy, may be the one who hates pirates among the Hanchens.

Although the new calendar project was stranded, he was not idle, and instead specialized in the so-called firearms and gunpowder contributed by the Great Song Dynasty------ and he had a lot of experience not long after!

Xu Heng wants to introduce this person to the young and talented deputy general Zhang Hongfan, of course, it has its deep meaning.

Since the big boss Kublai Khan only cared about the Shandong region and had no time to pay attention to the bandits in the southern part of the Central Plains------ the Hanchen might be able to make some military exploits there, so that the master could understand that the Hanchen could not only have Hanfa and Hanli, but also the Hui ministers must not be allowed to take the lead! 1910
