Chapter 42: Turn around and play the next three Opposite me, Yue Kuo Cha'er seemed to have had her last strength drained away in an instant.
He leaned back on the chair, neither refuting nor agreeing.
His eyes were straight, as if his soul had long since left his body.
A loyal minister through the ages, what can he, Yue Kuocha'er, do?
Not to mention that Tuohuan Timur is now on guard against suppressing him, and is ready to let him do the second Tao Tuo at any time.
The amount of benefits he has gained from the North-South transactions in the past two years is enough to rank among the world's most corrupt.
Who would believe that he was actually loyal to the Yuan Dynasty?
Not only Yue Kuochaer was devastated, but several other senior generals of the Forbidden Army also looked defeated.
In fact, before Tuohuan Timur and his son turned against each other, they never thought of betraying Dayuan.
Although they usually make money, they are all scrambling to get it first.
However, they never thought of becoming loyal ministers like Bigan and Yue Fei.
Because they know that they are not worthy, and they also know that the Yuan Dynasty court will never give them a chance to be loyal ministers.
Emperor Tuohuan of Yuan Dynasty, who was hiding in the palace and practicing the secret method of playing butterfly, may not care about other things, but he knew the family background of his ministers well.
The reason why we haven't taken action to deal with everyone until now is because the money in the treasury is still barely enough to spend.
Once the national treasury is unable to make ends meet again, in accordance with Tuohuan Timur's usual behavior, the fate that awaits everyone will be either Tutuo or Hama.
Tuotuo Second, Yue Kuochaer and others would never do it.
The ending was so tragic that just thinking about it makes people shudder.
But to be Hama No. 2 requires a kind of freedom and ease that can see through the world of mortals.
Yue Kuo Cha'er and the confidant generals around him also lacked it.
They are like a group of piglets locked in a pigsty.
Once they find that there may be animals outside competing for food, they will instinctively attack in groups.
They didn't care at all whether the swill and rice bran in the trough were still sufficient and whether the walls and roof of the pigsty were still strong.
Until one day, they saw their master sharpening his knife at the door of the pigsty, and the pigsty itself was also changing at any time.
There is a possibility of collapse.
At this time, they discovered to their horror that they had only two choices: escape and face the tigers, leopards and wolves, or stay and wait for death.
"Bo Yan was caught by the Taiwei when he was doing something secret, but the Taiwei did not take the opportunity to attack the whole city.
He asked Huaiyang to do it carefully.
Lu has already remembered this favor."
Chef Lu Wen's words suddenly came to everyone's mind again. , like the first candlelight in the dark night.
"The reason why Lu is so verbose today is precisely because he is grateful for Lord Taiwei's gesture of raising his hand.
My lord has had clear grudges since he became independent.
Zhang Song helped my lord capture Zhang Mingjian, so Zhang Song Until now, I have been regarded as my absolute confidant by General Mao Gui.
Therefore, all of General Mao Gui’s food, grass and weapons are provided to me in Huaiyang.
I usually do my own thing in Chuzhou, and my lord also lets me do as he pleases.”
"I, we are all Mongols after all."
Hearing this, Yue Kuo Cha'er looked up to the sky and sighed again.
He knew about Zhang Song and had ridiculed Butcher Zhu for his hypocrisy along with many of his colleagues.
As a bystander, he could clearly see the relationship between the Chuzhou Army and the Huai'an Army under Mao Gui's command, and he knew how difficult it was for Zhu Butcher to achieve this step by judging others.
But both Zhang Song and Mao Gui were outright heroes of the Han family, so Zhu Butcher could confide in them both.
As for himself, he was a Mongol nobleman, coming from the top family of the Yuan Dynasty.
His ancestor was Borhu, the leader of the Four Heroes.
This sentence almost expressed the thoughts of everyone present, making several generals' eyes turn red.
If they did not collude with the Huai'an army, they would probably die at the hands of Tuohuan Timur sooner or later, even if they did not die on the battlefield.
But by joining the Huai'an Army, they are equivalent to betraying their own nation.
I think back then, Zhu Chongjiu could arouse the common hatred of Han heroes all over the world with just one sentence: "Drive out the Tartars".

As a once glorious and powerful clan in the world, how could the Mongols be willing to kill each other?
Selling their own people in exchange for their own peace is something that is common among human beings.
It’s not just about belonging to a specific ethnic group.
That is, some of the absolute scum among them think it is an honor to betray their own nation.
And no matter how high these scum climb, they will never be truly looked down upon by the party they seek refuge with.
As a die-hard follower of Zhu Chongjiu, Chef Lu Wen really understands how Yue Kuochaer and others feel at this moment.
However, he had already found the relevant answer in his heart.
So after just thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head with a smile: "To be honest, Sir Taiwei, please don't blame me.
In addition to fighting on the battlefield, Mr.
Taiwei and the generals have not considered it.
In the past five years, they have died in Huaiyang."
Are there more Mongolians in the Dazong Mansion, or are there more Mongolians who died at the hands of Your Majesty the Emperor?"
"This" Yue Kuo Cha'er and others were all stunned, and immediately their faces turned red with shame.
Although Zhu Chongjiu was scorned as a butcher, he was always laughed at for his kindness to women.
All prisoners captured by him on the battlefield, even if they could not afford any ransom, would be released one after another after working for the Huai'an army for a month or two.
There has never been any massacre of Mongolian people in the areas currently captured by the Huai'an army.
On the contrary, as long as the Mongolian people are willing to take the initiative to do things, the officials at all levels in Huaiyang can basically treat the Han children under their rule equally.
It is very shameful that in recent years, Tuohuan Timur has repeatedly raised a butcher's knife against the civil and military officials of the current dynasty.
Not counting the fight between him and Aiyou Shili Dala and his son, how many famous civil and military officials died in confusion in order to capture Tuotuo, and how many of them had gone with Hama after purging Hama a few months ago?
Those who get closer will suffer the consequences of being a fish in a pond.
This is just the treatment of officials.
Considering that they have served the court, Tuohuan Timur will be more or less merciful and try not to eradicate the other party's wife and children.
There is no such "preferential treatment" for the servants, servants, petty officials and ordinary soldiers at the bottom who unfortunately have the wrong boss or are involved in the political whirlpool.
Usually with a stroke of a pen, thousands of heads fall to the ground, without even bothering to record the names and "crimes" of the executed persons.
In other words, in the past five years, the number of Mongolians who died at the hands of the Yuan Dynasty court was probably ten or even twenty times more than those who died at the hands of Zhu Chongjiu.
Even counting the soldiers killed on the battlefield, the Yuan court was far ahead.
This is a fact written in blood.
Yue Kuochaer cannot deny it at all, nor does he have the courage to deny it.
"Ivanov, Aslan, Yu Tonghai and others, I believe that the Yuan Dynasty has already found out clearly what positions they hold in our Huaiyang official residence."
Chef Lu Wen came again, sounding full of excitement.
Temptation.
Yue Kuochaer bit her lower lip hard and forced herself to stay calm.
"Of course I know.
There is no doubt about this, Mr.
Lu.
But on Dayuan's side, there are also Han Yuanrang, Han Yong, and recently Li Siqi."
"Your Excellency, Taiwei, is making excuses again."
Chef Lu Wen smiled and waved his hand, "As you know, I don't mean what I said.
It is true that since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been many Han people serving as high-ranking officials.
But the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty The rule is that the Mongols are the most noble, and the Semu people are second.
As for the Han people and the southern Han people, unless there is a big problem with the court.
Users will be looked down upon.
Others, their status is just a group of slaves who can pay food and taxes.
Even the cattle and horses raised by their masters are not as good as those who are looked down upon.
If they exceed the level with the Mongols, Even if they punish a group of rebels within the scope of their duties, their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated.

The imperial court will not remember their past merits at all."
This statement can be found in every fact as an example, making Yue Kuochaer unable to refute it at all.
I think back then, Zhang Hongfan massacred the last tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty and carved stones as inscriptions.
How majestic and earth-shattering it was.
However, the descendants of the Zhang family were almost slaughtered by the imperial court because they stopped a group of Mongolian rebels from looting the people. , no high-ranking Mongolian official would think of the merits of his ancestors, and no Mongolian general would regard them as one of his own.
"Lu took the three generals Ivanov, Aslan, and Yu Tonghai as examples, not only to illustrate that my master has the ambition to recruit heroes from all over the world.
But he also wanted to tell Mr.
Taiwei why the three of them were able to be appointed It's because of me that I take on such a heavy responsibility There is an iron law in Huaiyang that no one is allowed to touch.
Everyone is born equal, no matter you are Han, Mongolian, or any other ethnic group."
In an instant, Chef Lu Wen's voice became louder, and behind every sentence, All written with pride.
"The reason why my lord does not look at the Mongolian people under his rule differently is because he insists that all people are created equal.
Mongolians, Han people, and even Semu people can be brothers and friends, rather than one party being superior.
I When Huaiyang employs people, what matters is their talent, loyalty, and hard work, not who he is, what kind of blood he has, let alone what god he believes in.
This is a world apart from Dayuan.
No, they cannot be confused with the same thing at all.”
"It's easier said than done."
Yue Kuochaer didn't have the energy to refute Chef Lu Wen's words.
He just shook his head with a smile, "You Han people know how to farm, do business, and open workshops.
But we Mongolians, besides riding horses and wielding knives, can only Shepherding and raising sheep are said to be equal, but in the end all the money has been taken away by you, but my people can only grit their teeth and suffer."
"Raising sheep can make more money than farming."
Chef Lu Wen slowly stood up and retorted with a smile.
"If you don't know anything, you can definitely learn it as long as you study hard.
Lu remembered secretly spying on the military situation of the imperial court the year before last.
The artillery made by the imperial court was heavy, bulky, and easy to explode.
But now, the artillery made by the imperial court is The cannons are not much worse than those made by our Huai'an Army a few years ago.
The muskets are also produced in batches
.
"
"After all, there is still a gap."
Yue Kuochaer was in a rare mood and smiled modestly.
Dayuan's side is indeed catching up very quickly in terms of weapons manufacturing.
Even in the hydraulic workshop, good results have been achieved.
Although, most of the things here are stolen from Huaiyang.
But at least they show that the Mongolians are not much worse than the Han people in terms of learning ability.
"As long as you are willing to work hard, the gap will only get smaller and smaller.
But blindly taking care of people, or being arrogant and devouring people for worship will bring disaster for thousands of years."
Chef Lu Wen's mentality is very calm, and he simply discusses the matter.
"I think back then, 20,000 Mongolian troops could sweep across the world.
But now, Mr.
Taiwei knows better than Lu about the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian troops."
"Yes."
Yue Kuocha'er's body shook and she almost vomited blood on the spot.
If the Mongolian army's combat effectiveness is still the same as before, why would the court expect those "rebel soldiers"?
In recent years, it is not just in the east, the Mongolian army has been defeated repeatedly.
In the Western Region, and even further to the west of the desert, the Mongolian army was beaten to pieces by its former defeated generals.

And this is only a mere seventy years since it swept the world.
For more than seventy years, the Mongols enjoyed the worship of the whole world, but they paid the price of a significant degradation of the entire nation, both in terms of force and mentality.
Who can tell clearly whether it is a blessing or a curse to be worshiped by others?
Seeing Yue Kuo Cha'er's depression, Lu Wen suddenly raised his voice and summed it up loudly: "My lord once said that getting something for nothing is the way to die, and it is not what a wise person does.
But only people of all ethnic groups are willing to do it.
Only by treating each other as equals can we live in harmony and recognize each other.
On the contrary, the more artificial differences are created, the greater the differences will become.”
Without waiting for Yue Kuochaer to express his understanding or refute, he quickly added, "Before he fled Dadu, Mr.
Hama once told Lu that the total number of Mongolians in the world is only five million.
To put it simply, Five million, enslaved fifty million or even more, it is only a matter of time that the Yuan Dynasty will be overthrown If you can fight with Huaiyang and lose both sides, you will be destined to die at the hands of other heroes in the future.
I am afraid that no one will be like my lord and be willing to treat your people as equals.
Since Lord Taiwei never forgets that he is.
Mongolians should know what is the best outcome for the Mongolians in the world."
After saying that, Chef Lu Wen smiled and handed over to everyone, "No more rambling.
Anyway, Lu has made it clear what should be said and what should not be said tonight.
Thank you, Mr.
Taiwei, for the banquet.
Lu will take his leave first.
In the past two days, Lu has been staying at Brother Boyan's house.
Where he will go, Mr.
Taiwei can think about it slowly."
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Yue Kuochaer instinctively stretched out a hand to stop him.
But just as his fingers were about to touch Lu Wen's sleeves, they suddenly froze in mid-air.
It was not because he was afraid that there was a palm thunder hidden in the opponent's arms.
This time, what made him lose the courage to stay as a guest was something that could not be seen or touched, but was no less powerful than the palm thunder.
Equality was first proposed by Zhu Tutu back then, and was regarded as a dream by the whole world.
It actually contains such a profound core.
Han people, Mongolians, Semu people and all the people in this land should treat each other equally and treat everyone equally.
Such a dream seems so tempting.
Even if you feel that it is impossible to achieve, you can't help but want to try with all your strength.
Several other generals were also in a state of confusion at this moment.
If the Yuan Dynasty was destined to perish, there is no doubt that death at the hands of the Huai'an Army would be the best outcome.
At least, the Huai'an Army will not launch bloody revenge on anyone.
At least, under Zhu Tutu's rule, no ethnic group would be treated differently.
"Master Taiwei, do you have anything else to tell Lu?"
Sensing the inner struggle of Yue Kuocha'er and others, Lu Wen, who had already taken a step forward, turned around with a smile.
"There's really no need to worry.
Lu said he lives at Boyan's house, so he lives at Boyan's house.
If the lieutenant wants to arrest Lu for meritorious service, he can send someone over at any time."
Yue Kuocha'er's face immediately began to turn red and purple again.
He took two steps forward and said in a very low voice: "Bo Yan has too much hatred in his heart and is really not suitable to be an undercover agent.
Tomorrow morning, I will assign him a job to go south to inspect local defense and send him away from Dadu.
And Mr.
Lu, please send a message to Manager Zhu, just say it, just say it."

Turning back to look at his trusted generals, Yue Kuo Cha'er gritted his teeth again, "Yue Kuo Cha'er will never forget the kindness of showing mercy back then.
If we meet again in the future, as long as the General Manager has a certain place, he will never forget it." , someone is willing to go through fire and water.”
"As long as the General Manager does not forget his promise of equality during the Northern Expedition, we are willing to let him drive us and fight to the death."
Several senior generals of the Forbidden Army followed Yue Kuo Cha'er and all handed over their hands.
"Lu will bring these words to my lord as soon as possible."
Chef Lu Wen was ecstatic, but on the surface he remained calm.
"But my lord will not let anyone die for him.
He hopes that everyone will live well." , you, me, and everyone in the world, live well."
Drunkard’s note: Regarding the connection between national independence and equality, let Drunk indulge in a few words.
National independence is to avoid being bullied by foreigners.
And since being bullied by foreigners is intolerable, bullying each other between people of the same ethnic group is probably also a sin.
When no one is willing to be bullied, equality is the simplest and best way to get along between nations and between people.
And artificially giving preferential treatment is artificially creating inequality, which will only make each other more and more alienated:
