"Jie Shuai goes to see Yang An'er? How is that possible?"
Yiza Chucai and Xu Jin were both shocked.
Xu Jin smiled dryly and said: "If Yang An'er is determined to raise an army, how can he pay attention to us? Commander Jie, if you want to see him, you may not be able to see him..."
Yi La Chu Cai also said: "If Commander Ji meets with the leader of the bandits, once the news leaks out, people in Zhongdu will talk too much, or something may happen."
Guo Ning was not in a hurry to answer. He returned and sat down, looked at the map carefully, and fell into deep thought.
The noise of the newly formed troops gathering outside the fort was carried into the house by the wind, and Ni Yi quickly sent someone out to ask them to wait a moment. As a result, the room became much quieter, and Guo Ning occasionally moved the map, making a soft rustling sound.
Guo Ning's Ding Haijun can be said to be a strange thing that emerged from the chaos of the alternation of two generations of emperors in the Kingdom of Jin.
The grassroots of this group are all defeated soldiers who have been abandoned or ignored by the Dajin court. The only one they are loyal to is Guo Ning. The source of the top management of this group is even more complicated. Almost all of them are not loyal to Daikin. Everyone is disappointed with Daikin and is eager to start over.
They talk about what the imperial court is like and what the traitors are like, but in fact they have the characteristics of both. They are traitors wearing the hat of a court official.
In this way, it is actually very common for people to stop talking without saying anything.
Everyone present was a smart person and could hear their own thoughts.
What Xu Jin means is that Guo Ning wears the hat of Dinghai Jiedushi, which has advantages but also disadvantages. For example, after defeating the enemy, they were unable to take advantage of the victory to expand their territory, and could only send troops out in a roundabout way to recruit refugees. This is a manifestation of the limitations of the imperial court system in the expansion of strength.
At this time, Li Quan rebelled and easily wiped out Weizhou for Guo Ning. Guo Ning only had to use the banner of quelling the rebellion to send troops to Weizhou as a matter of course, and even reached out to Yidu Mansion.
If you stretch out your hand, you will naturally not take it back. But what happens next will be a headache for the court. Could they still make Guo Ning vomit out the fat in his stomach?
Don't talk nonsense. Xu Jin has read every piece of information Du Shisheng sent back. Genghis Khan is still watching outside Zhongdu City, planning to take a bite out of the center of the Kingdom of Jin and grab the most generous benefits... At this time, can the imperial court care about Shandong? No matter how arrogant Guo Ning was, the princes in the court could only hold their noses and recognize him.
If you don’t take this advantage, you won’t get it for nothing!
However, Yizai Chucai is much more stable than Xu Jin, or in other words, he is more willing to maximize the role of his official hat.
Guo Ning, the military governor of Dinghai, could theoretically be in charge of the military affairs of Ninghai and Dengzhou in addition to Laizhou. But since Guo Ning arrived in Laizhou, Wu Gulun Rongzu, the governor of Ninghai Prefecture, and Gengge, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, have taken no action at all and do not pay attention to their military superiors.
The Wugu Lun family is the noble surname of the Jurchens. They were married to Tudan, Tang Kuo, Pucha and other clans, and they were married to their master. It is said that Wugu Lun Rongzu despised Guo Ning and regarded him as a lucky man who suddenly gained wealth by relying on Tu Shanyi.
During the Taihe period, when Shandong was in chaos, Geng Ge was one of the local figures who took advantage of the situation. Later, he served several terms as an assistant official in various places before returning to Shandong East Road and becoming the governor of Dengzhou.
The Kingdom of Jin was extremely ignorant to have such a person in Dengzhou. Who knows what other secret connection this man has with Yang An'er? God knows what will happen to the Dengzhou area if the situation changes?
The idea of inciting Chu Cai is very simple. It is his ability to cause trouble in Weizhou and even Yidu by Li Quan'ai. If Yang An'er and Liu Erzu can join forces to cause a big disturbance, they can do it freely. Guo Ning is the military governor of Dinghai Navy, and his duty is to protect the territory and the people. The more you cause trouble, the more reason Guo Ning will have to control Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture militarily under the laws of the court.
After controlling the two states, Guo Ning's troops can occupy the sea on three sides, and use strong troops to resist Yang An'er's troops on one side. If we manage the water, we can control the throat of Liaozuo in the north and the gateway of Jianghuai in the south. Like a giant eagle spreading its wings, it soars... This advantage is much greater than that of the refugees in Jinan and other places.
As for what will happen to Yang An'er and others when they become bigger, Yizai Chucai is not worried. Guo Ning can defeat the Mongolian army with thousands of troops. After taking control of the three states, he will use the system of military households to gather strength. I am afraid that more than 20,000 elite troops can be dispatched at any time... By then, it will not be difficult to sweep across Shandong. Are you still afraid of those rebellious bandits?
The two have different opinions, just as benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions, and each has his own considerations.
The two people's ideas, whether radical or steady, can make Ding Haijun's power expand rapidly, from one state to several states, and then form a situation of separatist rule and victory, becoming a warlord who actually controls one side.
Guo Ning believes that the thoughts of the two of them also represent the thoughts of many people in Dinghai Navy.
After a lot of effort, the Mongolian army was finally defeated, and then it was natural to use the momentum of victory to expand and develop. Otherwise, what's the point of victory?
The decline of the Jin Dynasty was so obvious that even if we did not talk about the end of the dynasty, it would be difficult to avoid the following troubled times. Taking the territory of Dajin as a chess game, the Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty and other more forces will sooner or later compete to make a move. And every force will not stop and sit back and wait. Because time waits for no one, if you take a step slowly, every step will be slow.
However, both of these ideas will inevitably cause conflicts with Yang An'er's forces, and will inevitably trigger subsequent wars.
Guo Ning is not afraid of fighting at all, and even likes fighting. But now, he's thinking a little differently than others.
Guo Ning was a warrior who grew up from a military fort on the northern border. He had watched the fighting between the two armies and two countries since he was a child. What impressed him the most was that in the past ten years, the army of the Kingdom of Jin had continued to expand in size, but its combat effectiveness continued to weaken.
I heard that when the Jin Dynasty flourished, it rampaged across the world with thousands of people. Within ten years, it destroyed the Liao Dynasty, defeated the Song Dynasty, and established autocratic power in the territory. Twenty years ago, the famous general Jiagu Qingchen led his troops deep into the grassland to attack Buchen. As the prime minister of Zuo, he only had 8,000 cavalry for the front team and 10,000 elite soldiers for the rear team, a total of 18,000 people.
However, when Guo Ning was a boy or young man, more and more soldiers and horses were deployed by Dajin along the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang. Every time they were dispatched, the power was shocking and the crowds were like the sea. Countless people from Shandong, Hebei, Hedong and even Guanzhong were busy around Guo Ning.
When Wanyan Chengyu was in Yehuling and Aotunxiang was at Migukou, Dajin mobilized the whole court and ordered Xiaorui to support him. He selected infantry and cavalry and sent them to Jiden. The total number of soldiers and militia mobilized was respectively It’s five hundred thousand or seven hundred thousand!
Is it useful?
It's useless.
The mountains of corpses piled up on the two battlefields, the pools and rivers of blood that never dried up for months, and the flocks of carrion crows that lingered for years were the best proof.
The Mongolian army confronting them only numbered tens of thousands in number.
Therefore, Guo Ning firmly believes in the principle that troops should be more valuable than more. No matter how many troops there are, if there is no corresponding logistics, ordnance, training, and incentives, they are no different than pigs and sheep sent to the slaughterhouse.
The same principle applies to a military and political group. The territory is governed, not enlarged. No matter how big the territory is, it will be meaningless if there is no strict governance and top-down control. For example, if a giant has too much fat that cannot exert its strength, it will become a burden and die in vain when fighting with others.
Therefore, from Guo Ning's point of view, he wanted to use the prestige of defeating the Mongols to establish his family's position in Laizhou, and then strictly implement the two-level system of military households and shady households. Take this system as the foundation, deeply train the grassroots, solidly govern, enrich the strength, and make progress in the future.
At present, the population in Laizhou is far from being fully populated, and the governance system has not yet seen actual results. Many people still have doubts about this. Guo Ning is a vicious tiger, but he is not a madman. In his opinion, it is not yet time for large-scale expansion.
At least this year and next year, before Laizhou is replenished, Guo Ning does not plan to take the trouble to acquire the ruined territory of one or two states. He believed that it would be more effective for him to settle down and slowly manage Laizhou to strengthen the Ding Navy.
If you want to operate slowly, of course you must consider whether the external environment allows it.
According to Guo Ning's idea, he and the Dajin court could make peace with each other; he and Yang An'er and others' red-coated army might as well not disturb each other; and the Mongolian army should dare to fight head-on, but it is best to avoid unlimited expansion of the scale of the war.
Over the past month or so, Guo Ning has done this in Shandong.
But if the Red Coat Army suddenly gains momentum...
Guo Ning himself saw many defeated soldiers and bandits, and also had some dealings with Yang An'er's troops. He would not overestimate the ability of these rebel heroes to control their subordinates at all.
If the whole of Shandong falls into chaos, Laizhou will be like a lonely sail in the boiling sea. How can safety be guaranteed? Where can I be sure that I won’t be disturbed?
Even if Guo Ning suppresses it with strong troops, how many battles will it take? How many people are going to be killed? Guo Ning believes that his side will definitely win, but the construction of Laizhou will inevitably be interrupted, so why bother?
Guo Ning stood up and looked out the window.
He saw several officers organizing the soldiers and civilians and continuing to clean up the inside and outside of the camp. The inside of the fortress looks much more pleasing to the eye, and the damaged walls have been rebuilt. Outside the camp, there were more than a thousand old and weak men holding simple tools and starting to dig water diversion ditches.
The port area to the north is probably the same. Crowds of people everywhere were in full swing.
This situation developed little by little under Guo Ning's eyes. It made people feel comfortable and should not be disturbed.
Therefore, Guo Ning has his own way to ensure this situation.
Guo Ning made up his mind.
"Send someone to tell Li Quan that I don't care what he does west of Weizhou, as long as he doesn't touch the navy to protect the refugees, everyone will be safe. Then tell the commanders of our army to move quickly! As for the Yang An'er's side...where is Yang An'er stationed recently?"
"Juzhou, Moqi Mountain. In the past few months, if Yang An'er's troops in Juzhou and Mizhou were dispatched, they would first go to Moqi Mountain to rendezvous."
Guo Ning nodded and said to Xu Jin: "You go now and find a few guides who are familiar with the journey. Well, Yan Ning is from Juzhou, right? I remember that he has a stronghold in Tiansheng Village in Juzhou... also Call him!"
Xu Jin subconsciously agreed, and Yi stabbed Chucai and said in a trembling voice: "Jie Shuai, what are you going to do?"
"Ni Yi!"
"exist!"
"Order two hundred Qingqi and come with me to Juzhou."
Guo Ning began to pack his sidearms. He looked at Yi La Chucai and said seriously: "I'm going to see Yang An'er and explain the rules up front."
When he stabbed Chu Cai, he felt that his legs were weak and he fell to the ground.
