A group of officials were originally worried, but as soon as Guo Ning said this, the timid ones immediately became weak and knelt on the ground.
A few brave people still supported themselves. Some people opened their mouths and wanted to explain a few words, but they could only hear the rumble of military drums in their ears and the rushing of the clouds. Even the sound of the rising and falling waves in the distance was murderous, forcing them to He couldn't speak.
For local officials in Laizhou, this is the worst-case scenario.
Originally, when a new Jiedu envoy arrived in Shandong, there were rules for how to receive him and how to support the troops he led. As a result, many officials were specially affected, and they heard that the new Jiedushi had suddenly risen to a high position but lacked a solid foundation. So they followed their old boss Wanyan Salara and wanted to give the new Jiedushi a show of strength.
As a result, seeing that Guo Ning was powerful and unruly, everyone was frightened and came to flatter him overnight with supplies.
Everyone had a special discussion when they came. Many people felt that since Guo Ning had already prepared and did not care about local supplies, it can be seen that the impact of the show of force on Guo Ning's troops was not great, and a small amount of flattery could be redeemed thereafter.
And Guo Ning will bring food and fodder from all of them, which also shows that he is not ignorant of the small local methods... Although he himself is from a humble background, his staff who moved Chu talents are the sons of the old people who participated in politics, and are the disciples of the current prime minister. He is knowledgeable!
Now that you know something, you can communicate, everything is easy to discuss, and everything is easy to talk about!
Right?
Now it seems that it is wrong, very wrong.
Guo Ning's army of more than 5,000 wolves and tigers were arrayed in front of him. He himself made it clear that he brought soldiers and horses to Shandong without bringing any food at all!
The Laizhou local government cut off his supply of grain and fodder, which indeed caused him big trouble. What was his response? He bluffed with the only grain he had in stock, snared and killed Aotun Zhongxiao, the inspector general, and then waited for the subsequent army to arrive... Could such an army come to Shandong just to drink the wind?
Guo Ning had the idea from the beginning to suppress dissatisfaction with force! With these soldiers and horses in hand, he would have the confidence to kill people!
As for myself and others, not only did they offend Guo Ning, but they also managed to send me to Guo Ning without mercy...
Is this because he is worried that Ji Qi will not have enough heads before the army moves?
Is it still too late to kneel down and kowtow?
Guo Ning is still smiling:
"I would like to inform you that I, Guo Liulang, was a regular soldier at Wushabao in Changzhou. At that time, we were fighting with the Mongols in northern Xinjiang. There were always some high-ranking officials who did not understand the truth and thought that official power could be used on the battlefield, just like in officialdom. The means are powerful, and so are the knives. Later, the Mongols came and killed all these people. On the contrary, I was able to lead my troops to escape, so I know that at the critical moment, it doesn't matter how much the officer does, it all depends on whether the knife is good or not."
He showed a trace of reminiscence, and then said: "The senior officials of the imperial court in Zhongdu are smarter than those in Northern Xinjiang. They usually deal with high-ranking officials, but at critical moments, they know who is sharp and who listens. For example, Ou He was very smart to station Zhongxiao. However, later I led the army into Zhongdu and killed Hu Shahu and his accomplices until they shed a river of blood. Although Hu Shahu had a great reputation and many troops, his knives were far less sharp than mine. With the promotion of the king to the throne as the emperor, I have the title of Dinghai Jiedushi."
Just in front of Guo Ning, there was only one official with two braids on the back of his head, his neck stiffened and his head held high.
Guo Ning stared at him: "So, what kind of people are you who are subordinate to Laizhou Mansion and Ding Haijun on Shandong East Road? Are you planning to compete with me for official position, or do you plan to compete with me for swordsmanship?"
The judge next to him, Lu Jun, was sweating like rain, and said with a wry smile: "Commander Jie, don't joke. You are our immediate superior, and you are in charge of a powerful army. Regardless of your official position or your sword, you can't compare with us."
Guo Ning glanced at him: "Really?"
"Yes Yes."
"So... I heard that in Ye County, Laizhou, there was a fierce man named Hu Lagu. Where did this man get the courage to cross over from me, the military governor of Dinghai, and the commander of Yidu's military and horse capital? What about the coming and going of my eyebrows?"
Whenever you want to understand the local situation, you cannot do without the guidance of real local ghosts.
Aluhan has been in Laizhou for decades. Although he is in a remote place and has a low status, he sees everything. When Xu Jin was in Hebei, he relied on his ability to inquire about information from all sides and established himself among many evil tycoons.
Guo Ning gave the two of them a day. In fact, the two of them joined hands and had a clear understanding of the situation inside and outside Laizhou in just one night. Who instigated, who followed, and who fanned the flames of this attack on Guo Ning? Many subtle signs gradually became clear as the two calculated it.
Early the next morning, Xu Jin's submission was in Guo Ning's hands. The report clearly states that in Laizhou City, the person who had always been close to Wanyan Sala, and who danced the highest and most happily before, was a local man named Hu Lagu who was fierce and powerful.
At this time, when Guo Ning heard Hu Lagu's name coming out of his mouth, several officials who had been standing felt weak in the knees.
They immediately knelt down and turned to look at the official in front of Guo Ning with two pigtails on top of his chin.
This official was quite courageous. Seeing Guo Ning's unkind eyes, he shouted a few words.
What he said was Jurchen, but Guo Ning didn't understand. It seems that they are not people who have been in Han for a long time, but have moved from the northeastern interior in recent years.
"Is this person the one who suddenly stabbed Gu?" Guo Ning looked at him and sneered: "Since you are under the rule of Laizhou, you must be submissive and submissive! Why are you doing this in front of me?"
He asked: "Which Meng'an is in charge of this Hu Lagu?"
Later, Xu Wei replied: "Hu Lagu had an old relationship with Wanyan Sala's military envoy, so when he was fighting with Yelvliu brother on Shangjing Road, he was given the post of Meng An Bo Ji Lie. There were only more than ten households under him, and No matter which Meng'an you choose."
"A short-term redundant official dares to get involved in the conflict between the Shandong Army Commander and the Dinghai Navy Commander? He doesn't know whether to live or die!" Guo Ning waved his hand: "Drag him out and kill him."
The guards came up like wolves and tigers, forcing him to the beach in the distance no matter how he shouted or moved. The sword flashed, the head fell to the ground, and several feet of blood spurted out from the cavity, dyeing the sea water red.
In a moment, the head was taken back. Guo Ning looked at it calmly and ordered another pole to be erected outside the gate of Tunbao to hang the head in public.
Previously, Otun Zhongxiao was killed, but no one saw it with their own eyes. At this moment, seeing Guo Ning deal with a fierce Anbo Jilie in an understatement, I just felt that the world of the Jin Dynasty was about to change. However, the man in front of me was also a legitimate military envoy appointed by the imperial court, so he was completely unable to resist.
All the officials were even more pale and trembling.
Guo Ning immediately said in a deep voice: "I heard that this person made a lot of benefits by clearing land twice and carrying out inspections in the early years. He privately occupied more than 500 hectares of fertile land around Ye County! Since this person After his death, the fields under his name will be reclassified as official land and used for military purposes! You guys must make arrangements carefully!"
How many years has Hu Lagu been in Shandong? They did occupy a lot of land through plunder and robbery, but how could they ever catch up with Kuo Di and Tong Pai? How could his home land be as large as 500 hectares?
Everyone was confused at first, then surprised and happy.
Okay, okay, Jiedushi has made an offer! His old man wants five hundred hectares of land!
This is a lot of money, but if everyone puts it together, it's not impossible... After all, life is important, so a little blood is nothing!
Many people knelt on the ground, exchanged glances with each other, and then said one after another: "Yes! Yes! We will make arrangements! In Nahulagu Fish and Meat Township, fertile fields are occupied everywhere. There is a nickname in Ye County called Jingjiehu... We I’ve wanted to punish him for a long time!”
After a group of people finished speaking, Guo Ning nodded:
"As for the conflict between Ding Haijun and the Shandong Unified Military Department and the Yidu Army and Horses General Administration, it has nothing to do with you. I also have my own way to deal with Wanyan Salara. After all, you brought food and supplies... Be honest in the future Please don’t involve yourself in this, and I will forget about it. Do you understand?”
As if they had been granted amnesty, everyone kowtowed: "Yes, yes, we will keep it in mind. Thank you very much for the envoy."
As soon as he kowtowed and stood up, Guo Ning said: "The person who colluded with Wanyan Salara has been dealt with. There is no need to mention this matter again. But, what about the person who colluded with the local tycoon Xu Ruxian in Laizhou?"
There was a crashing sound, and the knees of a group of officials who had just straightened up bent down again, and were buried in the sand with a pop.
Lu Jun was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Jiedushi, this matter is not trivial... Do we have to talk about it here?"
