The group entered the city and headed straight to Li Ting's mansion.
The brothers' parents died young, but they never separated and always lived together. Therefore, it seems a bit unreasonable that Li Yun found a beautiful woman before Li Ting got married.
Li Ting didn't mind this too much, but Aunt Hua was always worried in her heart.
Fortunately, Li Ting is also getting married in the next two days.
While Li Yun and Li Ting were talking, congratulators kept coming to visit them in advance. Those are all rude warriors, what good words can they say that can praise and pray? Everyone made some random jokes.
Li Ting had a bad temper. In the past, if he was teased, he would immediately hit him with a big stick. Now his face was red and he just laughed.
Li Yun chatted with his brother for a while, and then he realized that many of the officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy were getting married these days.
Those weather-beaten old soldiers originally had nothing and were homeless one by one. Except for the knife in their hands, they had no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. But now they have a place to stay, fields, and farm tools and cattle. They all give priority to rationing, and they all protect the households. At least they have the status of a security chief and a neighbor chief.
This situation is quite enviable in the eyes of the refugees gathered from all over Shandong.
A few days ago, the people of Jing'an mobilized a group of civil servants. When the weather was freezing and it was too cold to travel far, they simply let them return to their homes and build houses for the meritorious soldiers.
The civilians worked for local military households and quickly became familiar with each other.
When the first batch of shade households were allocated earlier, Guo Ning gave repeated orders not to insult the people. During this period, several soldiers behaved particularly badly and had their heads chopped off. Therefore, there are very few conflicts between soldiers and civilians.
After the victory of the navy officers and soldiers, almost everyone had some money and goods as rewards. At this time, there was nothing to spend the money on, so a lot of it was given to the people who helped build the house, and they generally spent generously.
As a result, many people with daughters of the right age were moved, and those soldiers who came to Shandong alone also followed the trend and were willing to start a family.
Someone told Guo Ning that the soldiers were getting married one by one. I am afraid that after passing through Wenrou Township, they became accustomed to the hot bed of their wives and children, and they became worried about them. It would be difficult for them to fight as hard as they did back then. Guo Ning scoffed at the idea.
Guo Ning himself is a warrior who has struggled up from the lowest level. He knows that in this era, most people do not have such a strong concept of nationality. Even if Guo Ning opened his own military academy, he would have to explain this issue step by step.
Therefore, this is the benefit of "family and country". Protecting the family means protecting the country, and protecting the family means protecting everything. Guo Ning gave the soldiers a home in Shandong, so it didn't matter that the soldiers didn't think about many things carefully for the time being. Anyone who wants to destroy our beautiful life can be beaten.
Only with the soldiers tied to them can they know why they are fighting, and the fighting spirit generated from this will only be stronger than when they are fleeing in embarrassment to survive.
Because of Guo Ning's attitude, more soldiers got married. According to statistics from the military government, in the past ten years alone, more than 20 soldiers and civilians got married in Ye County, and there were even more in surrounding counties and towns.
Of course, when a trend becomes popular, it will inevitably have some negative effects. For example, officers and soldiers who originally had families were often encouraged to take concubines, and there were even cases of jealousy among several officers.
Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of Ding Haijun is good, and small flaws do not affect the overall situation.
In these days, the local operas and the theory of stars are popular in the local area. Not all soldiers may believe it, but at least they all know that the ambition of the commander is far from the one-third acres of Deng, Lai, and Ninghai. Next, our military and political groups will have to climb higher, and there is still a long way to go.
Not to mention, the commander-in-chief's self-confidence is so simple, in order to encourage the soldiers to achieve this level...
In the past few days, Jieshuai is also getting married. But even when he got married, he was too low-key to look like. It is said that he had solemnly stated that he wanted to have his wedding together with the meritorious soldiers, so he even made up a name for this, calling it a "mass wedding"!
Commander Jie's intention was clear. He planned to set a clear example himself so that the generals would not dare to mess around in this regard if they used their brains a little.
But even for the sake of military morale, why go to this level? This idea is a bit shocking. What's more, the wedding was too casual and unsightly, causing outsiders to underestimate the power of the navy.
After the group tried to persuade him, Guo Ning angrily gave up the idea.
"You think so?" When Li Ting said this, he shook his head repeatedly: "Guo Liulang is good at everything, but he can't change his ways of being a small family. If we hadn't stopped him this time, hey, the entire Dinghai Navy would have been destroyed. People are making a fool of themselves!”
Li Yun has been in power in Zhigu Village for several months, and his temperament has matured a lot. He did not agree with his brother with a single word, but casually changed the topic elsewhere and helped with a few chores.
After a while, he went to Jieshuai Mansion, and Aunt Hua followed him.
Li Yun hadn't seen Guo Ning for a long time, and he had a lot of information about Zhongdu that he had to confess in person. When Hua Auntie was in Zhigu Village, she got along well with Lu Han, so she just took this opportunity to renew the handkerchief exchange.
Guo Ning's Commander-in-Chief's Mansion is grand on the outside. The main hall and conference hall can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people for discussion. However, the weather is really cold these days, and the wind is strong near the sea. The main hall and the meeting hall are too big, with too many doors and windows. The cold wind always blows through the window paper and pours in through the gaps between the window lattice, like little cold snakes worming their way in, even if they light two or three braziers. does not work.
So Guo Ning simply asked his staff to go back to their respective rooms, and he himself returned to his living room.
Li Yun followed the servant who led the way to the backyard. He saw that there were not many houses and simple furnishings.
There is a martial arts training ground with eighteen kinds of weapons arranged; there is also a stable with several strong horses. Other than that, the only thing that stood out was a row of red lanterns hanging on the corridor. I think it was in preparation for the wedding. There was a young man holding several lanterns in his hand and slowly hanging the second row on the beam. Occasionally, Talk to each other cheerfully and laugh a few times.
At this time in Zhigu Village, the business agents of the officials and families that Li Yun came into contact with were actually just domestic slaves, and they could live in large and deep houses, splendid and full of jewels. When he suddenly saw such an appearance, he was a little suspicious. place.
There are two courtyards, Guo Ning lives in the front one, and Lu Han lives in the back one.
Aunt Hua brought a special package, which was a gift for Lu Han, and a maid took Aunt Hua back. And Li Yun stood in the courtyard of the first level to register. There are several guards on duty here, Li Yun only recognizes Ni Yi, and there are a few strangers, who should be recruited by newcomers. Ni Yi smiled at Li Yun and called into the room.
Then Guo Ning shouted: "It's cold outside, come in quickly!"
Li Yun pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Guo Ning wearing a leather robe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a book of local papers. He frowned and thought about it from time to time, and tugged at his short mustache.
Seeing Li Yun come in, Guo Ning raised his eyes and stared for a moment, nodded and said with a smile: "We haven't seen him for a few months, and he has become calmer. Unlike your brother, who is always jumping up and down."
Guo Ning and Li Ting had saved each other's lives on the battlefield. They exchanged a few words without making a fuss.
Li Yun just smiled and bowed.
Guo Ning asked again: "Is there any hindrance to the fleet going north? It didn't attract outsiders' attention, right?"
"Don't worry, Marshal Jie. Over at Zhongdu, they just say that we are still picking up the merchants from Zhigu Village. This is something that has been arranged for a long time. There are a few spies who are always paying attention. What can they know and what cannot they know? It’s within our grasp.”
"After the incident is completed, can the fleet and manpower be withdrawn in time?"
"We have very experienced boatmen and concluded that it will take ten days for the sea to completely freeze. This is enough for us to escape."
"good."
Li Yun raised his eyes to look at Guo Ning, but hesitated to speak.
Guo Ning wrote two lines on a dossier, stamped it, and put it into the processed pile. He looked up at Li Yun's expression and said, "Are you worried?"
Li Yun hesitated for a long time.
Guo Ning pulled up a new file: "What are you worried about? If you have an idea, just say it, I'll listen."
"Firstly, there are undercurrents raging inside Zhongdu, and the Mongolian army is watching eagerly from outside, but our base is thousands of miles away. If we reach out rashly to go back and marry others, I'm afraid it will be thankless. Secondly, the Quanzhen Sect If our power expands through this, I'm worried that sooner or later we will lose our strength in Shandong."
Guo Ning was stunned, put down his pen and looked at Li Yun.
Li Yun held his breath and concentrated.
After a long while, Guo Ning laughed: "In Mr. Jinzhi's letters, you often praise you. Now it seems that you have really made progress. It is a good thing to think of this. However, the planning of the whole thing is not so It’s simple…just relax!”
Guo Ning stood up and picked up the copper pot: "Here, take a sip of hot tea."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Li Yun stood up respectfully and took the tea cup with both hands.
