The Mongols were able to unify China, even half of the world, in addition to having military geniuses like Genghis Khan, cavalry who was skilled in riding and shooting, and crazy plunder and massacre of the occupied areas, Zhao Bing thought that it was also because of the Mongols. Of course, the so-called winning of people is not the hearts of everyone. Just like modern party elections only mobilize their supporters to the greatest extent, and winning the middle power is to win. The Mongols received allegiance from the Han warlords in the Central Plains, and relying on them to conquer most of China for the main force.

Most of the Mongolian Khans had never read any books, especially the old men who founded the country and conquered the world, so they did not know what kind of respect for the wise and the wise men were, but they could make these Han warlords devoted themselves to their hearts and confusion. The Mongolian Khan has been very concerned about winning over the forces of all ethnic groups since the Genghis Khan era. Of course, it was not because they wanted to achieve great national unity, but because they were looking for cannon fodder for themselves.

At first, after the Mongols entered the Han area, they could not tell the difference between Khitan Jurchens and Han people, so they called all those who lived in the Han area Han people, but their attitude was not as respectful as wise men. Yelu Liuge rebelled in the former land of Liaodong in the Jin Dynasty, and brought more than 100,000 people to arm the Jin Dynasty, and captured Liaoyang in Liaoyang, Tokyo. He was a good helper for the Mongols' Liaodong strategy. Genghis Khan treated him with preferential treatment to take his son Xue Yang by his side as a hostage. When Yelu Liuge passed away, Genghis Khan also asked Yelu Liuge's other son to replace him before letting Xue Yang go.

Later, this policy was also implemented to the Han army Shihou who defected to the Mongolians. If anyone did not send his son to the Mongols as hostages, who would be a traitor in the eyes of the Khan. Secondly, the Mongols adopted a vague treatment policy of treating Han warlords without asking about their background and not complaining about their past, and even putting the traditional "blood feud" aside, which was magnanimous.

For example, Dong Wenbing's father Dong Jun, who was called the eldest brother by Kublai Khan, the only Han Dynasty's right prime minister Shi Tianze, the father of Shi Bingzhi, Liu Heima, the leader of the 30,000 Han households, and other Han warlords who took the initiative to surrender to the Mongolians were naturally valued. However, for example, Guo Kan's grandfather Guo Baoyu and Zhang Hongfan's father Zhang Rou, who defeated Baghdad, was once highly valued by the Jin people, and they were also very popular. They didn't care that they had fought with them and killed them.

It can be seen that the principle of the Mongolians in employing people is: a man who can fight is like a beautiful woman, no matter what he did in the past, just be able to use it. This policy is most profound in the Li Quan family. Li Quan fought with the Mongolian army for many years, and his mother and elder brother died at the hands of the Mongolian soldiers who attacked Jin. He formed a deep feud. But the Mongolians were also willing to accept it and gave his family the military and political power that was hereditary in Shandong.

In addition, the Mongol Yuan gave Han warlords far more than the Song court. At first, it was a huge equity entrusted households, which gave Han Jun Shihou all the authority such as judicial taxes in the territory and could do whatever he wanted. After Kublai Khan officially established the Yuan Dynasty, although the fiefs of Han Jun Shihou were reduced, he had huge rewards and ignored them for corruption. He was naturally regarded as the best partner by Han warlords.

Besides, the Mongols used the land of the Central Plains to tempt the benefits of the Central Plains to win over the warlords in the Central Plains. As a result, haha, give you warlords a little sweetness first, and then deal with you. The Central Plains are all mine. If not, I just say a few more words and send a few more messengers. I have no losses, and it seems that it is a huge profit.

On the other hand, the Song court's attitude towards the Han people in the north was much worse. He believed that these Han warlords had breasts but were mothers, and they were no longer chaste women, and were not as loyal as their own troops. Therefore, when the army formed by the recruited northern people had conflicts with their own armed forces, they adopted the policy of unconditionally supporting the "Southern Army". Therefore, in the eyes of the Han warlords in the north, those old and young people had too many rules and regulations in their minds and could not treat themselves well, and Song court would definitely not be a good backer.

Zhao Bing was also in a very complicated mood when dealing with the Han people in the north. Although they were of the same clan, they lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as early as the founding of the Song Dynasty, and later lost the entire north when the Jurchens invaded. By the time of the Mongol Yuan, more than a hundred years had passed, and the Han people in the north had long forgotten the "magic grace" of the Song court. At this time, you cannot expect that all those who have never given any benefits will risk their own risk of doing it with you. They also asked others to talk about their feelings about their family and country in a time of chaos, and asked the fallacy of the Han people in the north, "I can ignore your life and death, but you can't help the Mongol Yuan."

Thinking from the perspective of others, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty proposed to rule the world with the scholars and officials, so he also required the emperor to treat the scholars and officials well. This is like working for the emperor. A local boss is mean and ungrateful, and always fools his subordinates with "loving the business and loyalty to the boss"; a foreign company boss is generous and generous, and whoever makes the most of his contributions will give high salaries and equity. Just imagine that now a foreign company wants to hire you directly, and the local company has to apply for the job by yourself. The salary is one-tenth of the other person, and the people you say may not listen. Which one do you choose?

Which company do you think is worthy of your life? Everyone has a conclusion in their hearts. But if you enter a foreign company, there will definitely be people saying that you are a traitor. Zhao Bing thinks that everyone seeks profit, and governing the country also requires respecting this basic human nature. You cannot expect everyone to be a saint, nor can you ask everyone to avoid eating Zhou’s grain like Boyi and Shuqi.

Think about how Zhao Bing knew how to govern the country at the beginning, and he also used the management method of managing a company to govern, providing stable salary, increasing treatment, and clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments to gather people's hearts and use it for himself. However, he still thought he could not do it like the Mongols who used such a big deal to attract surrender and betrayal. It was not that he was petty and could not tolerate others, but that objective conditions did not allow it.

One is not so much resource to allocate, and trying hard to re-take the old path of the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty's financial system; the other is that we cannot beat our own people. Think about the fact that we were following you to conquer the world, but in the end the treatment was not as good as a group of surrenders, who would be convinced; the third is that those who rewarded surrenders themselves were afraid that those old Taoists would jump out and curse and drown him with their spits.

In this way, not only will the policy be difficult to implement, but it will cause internal turmoil. However, how to conquer the hearts of the Han people in the north, Zhao Bing thought that he would have to break the current class structure in the north, implement universal policies, and give kindness to ordinary people, so as to gain their support. The privileged classes in the Mongol Yuan lost the support of ordinary people and would also collapse, and the people turned to seek regimes that were beneficial to them...

Zhao Bing thought about his successive victory and seized a large area of ​​land in the Lianghuai region, but he still could not enter the important land of the Mongolian Yuan, shake its ruling foundation, and have the ability to fight again. Therefore, it is not so easy to surrender the enemy before being hit by a fatal blow, especially the guards, one of the pillars of the Mongolian Yuan military, as the biggest beneficiary, will not surrender without fighting. Therefore, the key point at present is to hurt them, crush them greatly, and make them lose confidence in the Mongolian Yuan regime, and they will also take the initiative to surrender in order to survive.

Next, Zhao Bing asked in detail about the situation of the Mongyuan Firearms Camp. Liu Zhixue also revealed what he knew, most of which were learned from the interrogation of the captured enemy captives. Although it was not detailed, it could roughly outline its appearance.

It turned out that the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties also realized the power of firearms during their battle with the Song army. When Kublai Khan was alive, he started developing firearms and wanted to establish a fully equipped firearm unit like the Song army. So he allocated a thousand-person team from each of the five guards of the Han army, and a thousand-person team from the artillery army and a thousand-person team from the left and right Mongolian guards each from each to form a guard's personal weapon firearms and guards.

At the same time, craftsmen were drawn from each guard to make firearms. At first, they wanted to imitate the Song army firearms collected from various channels. However, as Zhao Bing estimated, due to the immaturity of the process and the materials, they failed. In the end, they could only give up the complete imitation and instead manufacture a simple version of the firearms and equipment firearms according to their own conditions.

As a killer weapon and seed unit of the Mongol Yuan, the firearm guards were naturally valued by the Khan at the beginning of their establishment. They were not only completely out of production, but also did not participate in military farming. They were also provided according to the standards of Qiexue, and were commanded by the "proficient" firearm operators in the Qiexue army. In order to keep it confidential, they drove to Liangxiang Mountain to train after they formed the army, which was not known to outsiders.

However, the troops were formed, but how to train became a big problem. After all, they did not have time travelers like Zhao Bing to guide them, and they had no experience to learn from, and it was difficult to obtain the training methods of the Song army. So some people remembered the Jin Dynasty's former Zhongxiao Army, but the Jin Dynasty had already destroyed the country for fifty years, and the survivors were all 80-year-olds, but hard work paid off. They really found several veterans of the year and were invited to be coaches to guide them in training.

So, this army trained by veterans of the Jin Dynasty and equipped with "Mongolian" firearms were born. They not only equipped with newly invented bowl-mouthed guns, single-eyed guns, but also traditional firearms such as rockets and caltrops. They also developed battle formations supplemented by cavalry, swords and shield soldiers and spearmen, as well as tactics and tactics against the Song army.

After several years of training, the firearm guards were hidden and not participated in previous wars between the two countries. Until now, the Song army endangers the security of the capital, Zhenjin decided to send this elite soldier that had been hidden for a long time to the battlefield. After further understanding, Zhao Bing also felt relieved. Such an inappropriate firearm army was difficult to pose a substantial threat to its own side. It may be okay to scare Du Ge, but it is hard to say that it will be against him.
