Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 544 Chang'an Military Council
At dawn, that round of tomorrow, as usual, slowly rises from the east.

On the Chang'an side, the soldiers of the Mongolian Army didn't know what happened at Tongguan, and everything seemed very calm.

The Mongolian guards in Chang'an City didn't realize that today was any different from usual, but felt that there were more "peddlers and pawns" today.

The eyes of some "peddlers" are special.

These people are doing all kinds of "small businesses", and they walk around the streets.As if paying attention to something.

Especially around the Chang'an Garrison Mansion, Chang'an Ordnance Office, and the yamen of various ministries, there are some "hawkers" carrying burdens and selling along the street.

These people were naturally Zhuge Qingyun's "own people" who came in, out of more than 8000 elite warriors, Tang Lan took away [-] and distributed [-] to Duan Yunxian.

The rest of the people disguised themselves and sneaked into the city.

No one checked them when they entered the city, because the guards at the east gate of Chang'an had been replaced by Zhuge Qingyun long ago, and the ordnance in the ancient tomb was transported into Chang'an city in batches from the east gate within half a month.

In the jungles and mountains outside Chang'an City, more than 1 soldiers recruited by Zhuge Qingyun also began to hibernate, but they are now wearing the uniforms of the Mongolian army or the Han puppet army.

Chang'an City was captured by Zhuge Qingyun's soldiers, and they captured the camps, strongholds, and fortresses that defended Chang'an City after the main force of the Chang'an City defenders left the city.

These camps, strongholds, and fortresses are the first line of defense to defend Chang'an City, so Zhuge Qingyun doesn't want to remove them, but seizes them as much as possible.

The task of these more than 1 soldiers is very simple and easy, because they have the "transfer order" forged by Zhuge Qingyun in their hands.

Now, an "emergency military meeting" is being held in Chang'an City, and the commanders of each stronghold, as well as the civil and military garrison officials of Chang'an City, are all present.

Naturally, Zhuge Qingyun informed them of this meeting with a fast horse. If Zhuge Qingyun hadn't said anything, these "stupid birds" might not have known that the Tongguan natural barrier had been lost for ten days and a half months.

Since these people didn't know, Zhuge Qingyun took the initiative to tell them.

After all, things like "rebellion" should come sooner rather than later.The sooner the better.

In the garrison mansion, Zhuge Qingyun sat on the main seat and looked at these Mongolian administrative officials, military officers and generals with a gloomy face.

Although his position is only the head of the book, Zhuge Qingyun is the head of the operation of the entire Chang'an City.Right now Wang Ping and Brother Ali are not here, so he is the only one who is the biggest.

Although these Mongolian civil and military officials look down on the Han people, they dare not look down on Zhuge Qingyun.

First, Zhuge Qingyun's "strategy" allowed Brother Ali to capture Hanzhong, the "gateway" that attacked Bashu in the Southern Song Dynasty, at the least cost.Therefore, Zhuge Qingyun gained the trust of Brother Ali and Wang Ping very much.

The second is Zhuge Qingyun's excellent "administrative" ability.Since Zhuge Qingyun came to Chang'an, the operation of the entire Chang'an city was basically handled by him.

I don't know what's going on outside, but Chang'an City is very well organized, and these Mongolian officials simply acted as shopkeepers.

Chang'an City is one of the centers of the Han region, and these people only got such a high position because of their status as Mongolian nobles.Does not have the corresponding talent.

These outsiders, if they want to exercise their power safely here, they can only rely on the assistance of "traitors" like Zhuge Qingyun, otherwise they will be "deaf" and "blind" who cannot understand the language or anything.

After all, the Mongols wanted to rule the Han people. It was impossible to kill all the Han people. If all the Han people were dead, who would they enslave?Who will support them as the lower class?

The reason why the Jin people and Mongols were able to rule in the Han area for so many years was because there were too many such "traitors".

During this period, most of the Han "elites and intellectuals" in the enemy-occupied areas were basically "comprador" thinking.

As long as their power status can be protected from infringement, they don't care who the master is.

They just want to kneel down and be "dog slaves", since they are all "dog slaves".

As long as the "master" gives the "bones", it doesn't make any difference to them whether the master is Han, Jin or Mongolian.

As long as there is a group of "traitors" who can be like Li Qingwei, who have such "ideological awareness" and "ambition".

The Jin people have long been kicked back to the jungle to dig ginseng, and the Mongols have long been kicked back to the grasslands to herd sheep.

Zhuge Qingyun, who was sitting on the main seat, said softly: "This is the way it is. Do you have any opinions on this matter?"

At this time, the Mongolian general who was in charge of Chang'an's defense said in his broken Chinese: "Is there any fraud in this? How could they win Tongguan where our five thousand elites are stationed."

Those above Tongguan are indeed the elite of the garrison, but in fact there are less than 1000 people stationed in Tongguan.

It's just that this Mongolian general has been imitating the Han generals' "employment", and Tongguan basically has armor but no soldiers.

Whenever the Mongolian censors came to inspect, he would temporarily mobilize other troops to Tongguan to make up the number. If he couldn't mobilize, he would spend a lot of money to find some local people to make up the number.

Although Zhuge Qingyun knew about his empty salary and embezzlement of military funds.

But Zhuge Qingyun has always pretended to be ignorant, and still distributes military salaries and supplies to him in the share of 5000 people.Never checked.

Basically, it's as much as he says.As much as he reported, Zhuge Qingyun would distribute to him.Even Zhuge Qingyun never checked their "deficiency" problem.

This is also the reason why this Chang'an garrison general, and these Mongolian administrative officials, "like" Zhuge Qingyun so much.

When Wang Ping was around, he would check from time to time, and then warn and intimidate them, but Zhuge Qingyun didn't even ask.

Originally, these people were ordered by Wang Ping and Brother Ali to stay in Chang'an to "monitor" Zhuge Qingyun, but because of Zhuge Qingyun's deliberate "benevolence", they suddenly "stand" on Zhuge Qingyun's side.

Therefore, in their secret letters to Brother Ali and Wang Ping, they all mentioned that Zhuge Qingyun was "greatly loyal" to the Mongolian court.

Zhuge Qingyun didn't answer his boring question, but said: "I received a secret report that Tongguan fell last night. I have sent scouts to find out the truth. I believe there will be results soon."

While Zhuge Qingyun was talking, the Mongolian scout he sent came back here. The Mongolian scout saluted Zhuge Qingyun who was sitting on the throne, and then reported to the general and a group of Mongolian officials in Mongolian.

"My lord is right. My lord ordered the villain to investigate. Tongguan has indeed been controlled by unknown forces, and they even hung up a banner that I have never seen before. The villain didn't dare to get too close, but was far away. I took a closer look and saw that the pass was full of people, probably tens of thousands of people."

Hearing the spy's report, all Mongolian civil and military officials were taken aback.

The Mongolian general grabbed the spy by the neck and said in Mongolian, "Are you sure you can see clearly, how many of them are there?"

The Mongolian spy swore: "I swear to Changshengtian, the villain has absolutely no false words."
