Generally speaking, the political struggles of the Jurchens in Liaodong are more robust and simple than those of their compatriots who have lived in Han for a long time. Even if there were high-ranking officials sent by the imperial court to try to implement the laws, they could not change the basic principle that among many tribes in the middle and lower classes, the stronger would win.
In recent years, there have been many incidents in the imperial court, and powerful generals from the Northeast are often appointed to lead the military and political affairs, which intensifies this trend.
This is all because these important generals are either tribal leaders who started their careers with the Wanyan clan in the early years, or they are nobles of the clan themselves. They are more sensitive to the decline of the imperial court than ordinary people. In this case, they are inevitably eager to make moves and compete for power wherever they are.
The imperial court issued several edicts to advise these figures on the principle of harmony between masters and masters, so that they would be united in everything from now on and be prepared to defend them. But that kind of formal language is totally unreasonable. How could the powerful people from Northeast China care about it? Even if the edict is issued like snow flakes, the generals will regard it as waste paper.
This time Pu Xianwannu went crazy for no apparent reason, and once his plan failed, he became fat on the table. And as Guo Ning said, if the parties who want to share the benefits are not strong enough, they will immediately be torn into pieces by the latecomers and used as fresher fat.
There was even Brother Wanyan Tie, the only selfless person in the entire war, and the remaining forces were also being divided up.
At this time, the strong men of Liaodong who were lucky enough to survive the riot were still covered in dirty blood, their broken bones had not yet been put back together, and tears of regret were already shed on their lips, and they sat down at the dinner table impatiently. One lap.
Heshi Liehuanduan felt that he was an upright and loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, and his actions were not for personal gain. But the overall situation is like this. Without strength, how can we safeguard the interests of the Kingdom of Jin? He had no choice but to follow this trend and use his own knife to cut meat.
This shiny knife had just killed Pu Xianwannu, and it was said that he died of illness. Everyone else had seen this sinister and vicious energy. Heshi Liehuanduan himself was indeed a general with good reputation in Liaodong who was good at fighting. Heshi Liede and Aru Zhen were inferior to each other.
So when he divided it with his fingers, both of them listened quietly.
Heshi Liehuanduan was honest and unceremonious. He first took over Pu Xianwannu's position and his territory on Xianpingfu Road. He took all the fertile lands in Liaodong into his hands, and was able to start unifying Pu Xianwannu's subordinates, the Eleven Meng. install.
Those eleven Meng'an are not the overwhelming number of Meng'an in Zhongdu. Even if the soldiers will suffer a lot this time, there will still be nearly 10,000 households of people available. After being included in the control, the power is not small.
With enough strength, Heshi Liehuanduan dared to develop westward, trying to recapture Guangning Mansion occupied by the Khitans, reconnect with Wanyan Chengyu stationed in Dading Mansion in Beijing, and penetrate the Liaohai Passage.
Heshi Liede obtained the Northeastern Unified Army Division and Taizhou, the easternmost part of the grassland, and unified the two states. He also obtained the remaining troops of Wanyan Tiege, and his military strength was solidly improved a lot.
The ensuing trouble is that he will face the powerful threat of the Mongols, but since he has the support of Shangjing Road behind him, even if he is not an opponent, he can always advance and retreat.
As for Wanyan Chengchong, after all, he was old and dim. At that time, he was able to become the marshal who stayed in Beijing because of Tu Shanyi's promotion when he was in charge of Beijing. After all, his daughter Aruzhen is a female, and her direct military strength is still very weak. So Heshi Liehuanduan didn't take her seriously at first.
But Alu is really knowledgeable. Heshi Liede is still confused. She has already recognized Guo Ning's origin, and at the same time, she gets close to Heshi Liehuan.
Her demands were not high at all. She only wanted her son Jiagu Pudai to succeed him as the governor of Huli Gailu.
Jiagu Pudai is originally Hu Li Gai Meng An Bo Ji Lie. This request is really rare. If He Shi Lie Huanduan refuses, it would seem that he is deliberately bullying orphans and widowed mothers. What's more, many of Puxianwannu's adopted sons and grandsons came from Huli Gailu or Supin Road, and the many tribes in those places had to have someone to appease them.
The discussion was settled in an instant and everyone was happy.
And Guo Ning, who always said that he was an outsider, also got two sites in Fuzhou and Gaizhou.
These two pieces of land originally belonged to Heshi Liehuanduan and Wendihan Qinggou. But the two of them were about to rise to prominence, so they had to give Guo Ning some compensation.
On the other hand, if Guo Ning didn't have a piece of land in Liaodong, Heshi Liehuanduan would probably be restless, worrying day and night that Guo Ning would step aside and watch all the families in Liaodong fight to the death with the Mongols.
If the life of Pu Xianwannu is the surrender certificate given by He Shi Liehuanduan; the control and operation of the navy in Fuzhou and Gaizhou are the reassurance given by Guo Ning.
Guo Ning is naturally happy, but he has seen a lot in the past two years, and the city is deeper than before. At the moment, he pretended to be casual and asked Heshi Liehuanduan several times to introduce the situation in Gaizhou and Fuzhou. He just stared at the two people on Shangjing Road and continued doing business politely.
He asked Aruzhen and then asked Heshi Liede:
Are there horses in your land? Is there any fur? Are there any ginseng and northern pearls?
Do you want food? Want iron? Do you want medicine? Want cotton?
At this time, the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer. Scouts from the Shangjing Road and Zhaozhou armies also returned and reported the battlefield situation they had explored.
As a result, Aruzhen and Heshi Liede fully understood how straightforward this battle was. They heard that the Mongolian army left hundreds of corpses along the Mazong River, and even saw Han Xuan's troops with their own eyes. Those heavy-duty iron pagodas with men and horses covered in iron armor.
As a result, Aruzhen smiled more and more joyfully, and Heshi Liede's short and stocky body seemed to be shorter. After all, the rules in the White Mountains and Black Waters are very clear. On the other hand, the strong will win, and the weak will obey. There will be no strong people.
I understand very well, why did Heshi Liehuanduan tremble?
It all depends on Guo Jiedu!
Since this ruthless man wants to do business, let's do business. Why should he hesitate?
A good horse? We have plenty!
fur? Ginseng? Beizhu? Hahaha, you've come to the right place when you come to me.
What? Guo Jiedu, did I hear you correctly? Do you really want to pay for it? Is it okay to give food or other goods?
Hahahaha, I thought the navy wanted us to pay tribute, but it turned out to be a business? That would be even more wonderful.
We want food, iron tools, medicinal materials and cotton cloth, all of them! Guo Jiedu, we want as much as you have!
Guo Ning chatted with everyone for a few words, and then said: "I have a subordinate judge named Li Yun who is responsible for the business of Qun Mu Station. How about he come to visit you in a few days?"
Aru Zhen beamed: "Okay! Okay! The road to Beijing is poor, and we have long been looking forward to getting some supplies!"
Heshi Liede even beat his bucket-like chest loudly: "Judge Li, right? Why should he come to visit? We can send someone to pick him up along the way!"
Everyone looked at each other on the battlefield and smiled. After a while, Heshi Liehuan asked: "Is this battle almost over? Where is Brother Yeluliu? Didn't you catch him?"
Everyone turned around and looked at the battlefield.
At this time, Guo Ning said to He Shi Liehuan: "Brother Yeluliu's whereabouts are unknown, and we don't even know the location of Mu Huali. I really have no clue where his troops are."
This is no small matter. This person's movements are unknown. Who dares to say that he will win this one?
The two men immediately selected their scouts and ordered them to travel day and night to continue scouting in all directions.
At this time, the sky is getting dark and dusk is approaching. Guo Ning's team sent several groups of people back to deliver the news of the great victory. The soldiers who stayed in the city were all happy.
Only Li Ting was not so happy.
After Li Ting was forced to retreat from Aruduhan's troops, he withdrew his troops and returned to the city. Along the way, he complained that he had been deceived by Guo Ning. It was a rare visit to Liaodong, but he could not get any serious meritorious service by killing the enemy, nor could more people know the name of Zhongdu Li Erlang.
Everyone knew that he and Guo Ning were very close, and they could talk nonsense. Most of them would just join in the fun, compliment him or coax him.
At this moment, he stood at the top of the city and looked at it for a long time, but he could not clearly see the terrain in the depths of Huanglonggang. He became more and more regretful: "The battle is over, can't we even take a look?"
He turned around bitterly, and when he was about to return to the military camp to rest, he spotted an acquaintance among the civil and military personnel accompanying him.
This man was young and looked a little stunned. He was grinning and following Li Yun with a naive smile.
Li Ting suddenly had an idea.
He sat with his legs crossed and waved repeatedly: "Isn't this Ah Duo? Come here! Come and talk! I heard that you brought an interesting thing here?"
