A group of people walked out of the school. After taking two steps, Chen Ran, who was tall and tall with a thin cheek, caught up from behind and said in a deep voice: "Jie Shuai, I have to go back... I have to make it clear whether I am right or wrong. This trend cannot last long."
Guo Ning nodded slightly, and Chen Ran turned around.
Since setting up camp in Heli, Guo Ning has continuously selected outstanding soldiers from various ministries to serve as personal guards of the headquarters, selecting those who have outstanding performance and promoting them quickly; he will also give good treatment to those who are injured and can no longer fight. placement. Therefore, although the personal guards were lost quickly, the soldiers were always very enthusiastic about the quota of personal guards.
For example, Chen Ran, who was the leader of the personal guard together with Zhao Jue, injured his hand tendon during the fierce battle at Donghua Gate in Zhongdu, and could not rein in his left hand, let alone hold a weapon. He is good at fighting enemies with both hands and holding long and short swords. His left hand was seriously injured and half of his sword skills were disabled. But Guo Ning always reused him and taught him many important tasks.
Now within the Dinghai Navy system, Chen Ranzai is responsible for the exchange of books and official documents, the issuance of orders, and even the creation, recording, distribution, and review of military-related books. In addition, he also cooperates with Zhang Xin, Liu Cheng, and others. Coordinate the affairs of the old camp. So these kids in the school are under his jurisdiction.
Guo Ning's troops come from all over the world, and they are all poor people who are forced by the current situation to work together to survive. Now Guo Ning wants to gain a foothold in Shandong, but these little boys are engaging in internal strife in front of Guo Ning, and there are signs of regional factional divisions. They bully the children of Shandong military families based on their status as fathers and brothers... That is not possible, and we must guard against subtle changes. .
Guo Ning wanted to take Zhang Rong and others on a patrol and had no time to pursue them, but Chen Ran would not let them go.
When he left, there were a few lazy boys who were fanning the flames in the crowd, and they had to be put in solitary confinement and served with a board.
Guo Ning led Zhang Rong and others forward, turned a corner, and saw another courtyard.
There is still a classroom in the courtyard, but that classroom is larger and has obviously more students. Most of the students are young people of fifteen or sixteen years old, some of whom are ordinary soldiers, and there are also a few small officers. In addition to the dozens of neat rows of seats, some officers with higher status moved chairs to sit.
The classroom was brightly lit, and nearly a hundred people were sitting upright. The person above them who spoke with a stern expression was Wang Shixian.
"Lao Wang defended the fortress. On the one hand, he had to show weakness on the outside. Only by showing weakness could he attract the Mongolian troops and tire them out. On the other hand, he had to be tenacious on the inside. He had to maintain a situation of not being defeated even though he was at a disadvantage. This was not easy."
Guo Ning stood at the door of the courtyard and looked inside: "This process, reviewed and reviewed at this time, can not only cultivate the knowledge and judgment of the soldiers, but also benefit Lao Wang himself. Well, tomorrow it will be Guo Zhongyuan who will give the lecture The day after tomorrow it will be Brother Anmin who will talk about the arrangements for emergency evacuation of the people and the transportation of food and supplies before the war, and the day after tomorrow it will be me. If Shihui is interested, you can come and listen every day."
Zhang Rong and Yan Shi looked at each other and nodded solemnly: "It's time to ask the generals for advice."
"Haha, brother Shihui can gather such a large village under the eyes of the Mongols. Uncle Wu is also a hero in Dongping Mansion, so his talent must be outstanding. Let's not talk about asking for advice. Let's discuss it and it will be beneficial to each other."
Guo Ning closed the door of the courtyard and said casually: "Don't look at these people who are all sitting peacefully. They won't be peaceful for long! In fact, the commotion is behind them!"
"how do I say this?"
"After Lao Wang's scene, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. It is inevitable that the officers will be a little resentful. If the discussion gets deeper later, I'm sure someone will slap the table and curse the mother, criticize the mulberry tree... Lao Wang will have to spend some time to cure it. Live them."
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of yelling and cursing, as well as the sound of crackling boards.
Is this a quarrel? Zhang Rong was startled, and when he looked back, he realized that the sound came from the school where children gathered. It turned out that Chen Ran was the one who did it.
Further along the road, a dozen generals were sitting on the roadside, chatting with each other. They were all children and nephews who studied in school and were literate. Because the station was far away from Tunpu, so when their duty was over that day, they waited here to pick up their children.
Hearing the sudden sound of playing boards in the school, all the generals jumped up, and then they saw Guo Ning walking leisurely along the road.
They quickly dressed up their robes and saluted Guo Ning. Someone said with a shy face: "Jie Shuai, I have a nephew with a very naughty temper. He makes trouble in the school all the time... Ahem, I want to say, no beating. If he is useless, I will punish him severely if something happens, and there is no need to give me face."
Immediately someone nearby muttered in a low voice: "You are such a bitch, do you have enough face in front of the Commander-in-Chief?"
"Haha, of course I have face, but now it's Chen Ran who is punishing the culprit... It's useless for you to beg for mercy after seeing him. It's useless to talk nonsense in front of me!"
Guo Ning talked to them for a few words and sold Chen Ran without hesitation, and then led Zhang Rong and Yan Shi to move on.
After all, the conditions in the camp were better than those in the camps outside, so many wounded soldiers gathered at this time, and some meritorious soldiers also received special treatment and were able to rest in the camp.
For ordinary soldiers, fatigue and tension can be overcome, but the mental pressure caused by fierce battles and tragic casualties needs to be slowly relaxed and adjusted. So as everyone walked along, they felt that the atmosphere in the fort was very loose and unusual. Many soldiers were lying in disarray. They could not see their military posture and no one was there to control them.
There is a mess everywhere. Some people are sharing leather bags with others. I don’t know if the bags are wine or something else. Some people are throwing and grabbing small bones behind the knees of animals... This is a game that the Jurchens love, and many Han children now know how to do it. .
There were many people chatting hummingly, and the sound of words echoed among the four walls of the fort. It was a bit noisy, and it was completely different from the quiet and orderly situation in the large camp outside the fort.
Some soldiers even lay down and could not get up when Guo Ning greeted them. And Guo Ning responded naturally, more like a brother than a boss. One time, he stepped on a soldier's stomach in a pretense of intimidation, forcing the soldier to beg for mercy and roll on the ground, while the soldiers next to him fell down laughing.
When Yan Zhi was in Dongping Mansion, he had met many high-ranking officials, and recently he had several dealings with Huang Laowudian, the governor of the Tianping Army.
The place where Huang Slap Wudian was was extremely majestic. The subordinates, companions, and guards around him were all solemn, and not even one dared to speak loudly. But Guo Ning didn't feel like a Jiedushi at all. Yan Shi saw Guo Ning from the afternoon until it was almost nightfall, and he didn't see the style of a Jiedushi at all!
That was definitely not a polite corporal gesture deliberately made to win people's hearts. This was really how he treated the soldiers. And Yan Shi has no doubt that all of these soldiers are willing to die for Guo Ning.
He couldn't help but said: "I have seen many high-ranking officials, but there are very few who are as kind as Jie Shuai without being dignified."
"Majesty?" Guo Ning chuckled twice.
"When I was in the army at Wushabao in Changzhou, there was only one Alixi around me. I had to support each other to survive on the battlefield. Therefore, he was my relative and partner, and majesty was of no use to him. Later, the army was defeated, and I gathered the defeated soldiers and fled all the way. At the most, there were more than two hundred men under my command, and at the least, there were only three left. Those people were born and died with me, and waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. What kind of dignity do I want towards them? ?”
Having said this, Guo Ning shook his head: "The situation changed suddenly at the beginning of this year, and I took advantage of the situation. Suddenly I had hundreds, thousands, and now tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians under my command. They were attached to me. They were Because I promise to give them a better life; because I stand with them and defeat the enemy; because I can lead my men to take what we deserve...not because of my majesty."
Zhang Rong bowed to Guo Ning sincerely.
And Yan Shi hesitated for a while, and then said: "But, wouldn't this be too loose? Even if we capture the fourth prince of Mongolia, there will always be a time to return the prisoners. If by that time, the Mongolian army comes again, the soldiers will Do we still have the energy to fight? Although the fourth prince was defeated, the Mongol Khan is invincible."
"Let the soldiers relax now, and then get nervous when they return to the team. Don't worry, they are all men of iron. After being forged, they will only become stronger and more tenacious. This winter, I will use them as As the backbone, build an army of ten thousand people! As for the Mongolian army..."
"The Mongolian army will not come." Guo Ning said with certainty: "At least, not in the next few months."
"Uh... Commander, are you sure?"
"Sure." Guo Ning said easily: "We also have people in Zhongdu City. So every one or two days, we will receive the latest information. Now most of Genghis Khan's main force has been dragged around Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu. In the next few days, the weather will get colder and colder, and there will be no water or grass in the fields, making it difficult for the cavalry to mobilize on a large scale. Even if the Mongolian army does not retreat, it can only continue to confront them."
