Guo Ning continued to give instructions on various matters, and the people who came to respond were all extremely respectful at this time, using etiquette that was beyond the scope of normal use.
It is clear that we are on the battlefield, with corpses lying everywhere on the ground and blood still flowing. It is clear that the dust on Guo Ning’s face has not gone away, and he is only wearing a simple military uniform. He has no accessories except the golden sword at his waist, but the surrounding people Everyone around him felt that there seemed to be something more ritualistic about the scene.
Guo Ning was not intimidated by this crowd-pleasing scene. He was born in northern Xinjiang and was active in Tangbo, Hebei Province. He is very familiar with this routine.
】
Before the Mongol invasion, the thousands of miles of frontier from Dading Prefecture in Beijing to Datong Prefecture in Xijing, hundreds of miles deep, were already densely populated by various powerful local tycoons and village owners who relied on their own small forces to survive. Dajin continued to mobilize local soldiers to fight on the grasslands. As the court's control over local areas continued to weaken, their power became stronger and stronger.
Most of these characters are Han children, and many of them have read Han poetry and books on a daily basis. However, the territory of Hebei, especially the Yanyun area in northern Hebei, has experienced nearly three hundred years of alien rule. Its people's hearts and social structure have inevitably been influenced by Hu Feng. In their bones, they do not recognize the principles of the Spring and Autumn Period of Confucianism, and their behavior trends. Strong and fierce, and there is only one rule, and that is to rely on the strong.
In the case of the chief child Shi Tianze, his father Shi Bingzhi was a rich man in his life. The last time the Mongolian army went south, Shi Bingzhi led thousands of people from Zhuozhou to surrender to Muhuali. He was then ordered to lead the families of the surrendered people to garrison in Bazhou. He actually controlled Yijin Pass and once controlled tens of thousands of dependent families in the surrounding areas.
When the Mongolian army retreated outside the Great Wall, Shi Bingzhi was ordered to select brave men, led by Shi Tianze's eldest brother Shi Tianni, to accompany them back to Mobei. After this force left, Shi Bingzhi's popularity declined greatly. Later, the imperial court restored control of Hebei and Zhongdu, and he returned to his hometown of Yongqing.
There are many such people in Hebei. If Dajin held them accountable according to the monarchy and ministerial system since the Han and Tang Dynasties, each of these people should be severely punished. However, in his heart, Daikin could not change the tribal legacy between the white mountains and the black waters. In the eyes of many high-ranking Jurchens, this choice was actually the right one. If Daijin wanted to punish him, it would break the rules.
Therefore, although these people betrayed Dai Jin, they were not under any pressure. Although they followed the Mongols, they were not very loyal. When Guo Ning finished the battle, these people rushed over one after another, intending to bow to the newly rising strong man, and it was natural.
In Yongqing County, the central capital, many people thought so on the battlefield north of Triangle Lake.
In Daxing Mansion, Zhongdu, many people who were waiting for the outcome of the war also thought so.
Although the Zhongdu City of the Kingdom of Jin is protected by a city wall several feet high on the outside, and the city wall is even more guarded by watchtowers, densely populated with horses, and fiercely contested, the many political forces inside, and even the foundations these political forces are stepping on, But it has been collapsing and collapsing for a long time.
Three days ago, the main force of the Mongolian army suddenly dispatched from the Chrysostom Camp, which not only terrified the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also greatly accelerated the process of collapse.
However, Zhongdu City was too far away from the key battlefield, and the entire city had previously been regarded as a must-obtain target by Genghis Khan. It was always under the coercion and siege of the Mongolian army, and its connection with the battlefield was very problematic.
Many people were scratching their heads about this and tried many methods, but the wandering Mongolian cavalry was really vicious, and several attempts ended in failure. The few people who were able to return the day before yesterday said that there was indeed a battle on the Liaoshi Hill in Liangxiang County to the west of the Lugou River, and the outcome of the battle was not optimistic. It was obvious that the troops coming from the south were repulsed, and... There were many Jurchen corpses discarded on the battlefield.
The news soon spread throughout the capital, and it was said that the emperor was also alarmed and summoned his ministers to discuss it all night. Outside the court, there are people everywhere who are secretly communicating with each other.
When the Jin Dynasty was in its heyday, Zhongdu was a place where the wealth of the world gathered, especially in the west area of the city, from Yizhongfang to Ximagou, and then around the fish pond, where there were many high-definition shops, tea altars and wine shops, as well as many private houses. garden. In fact, the elegance of the garden is very different from the coppery smell of many shops. However, those who control the business resources on the surface are all dependent on the nobles who are behind the gardens, so weird mix and match is inevitable.
This kind of environment is particularly suitable for people with unique identities to gather.
"Mr. Shinyuki, please, please."
Du Shisheng's carriage was still traveling on Baima Shentang Street, and the people in the restaurant had already received the news. When his carriage came down, the beautiful female shopkeeper walked forward in small steps, diligently guiding the way.
But this courtesy did not make Du Shisheng feel happy. In the past two years, as Guo Ning's agent, he has always been highly respected on such occasions, although he has not been in or out of the court. Who would have thought that when he came here in person, the only person responsible for greeting him was a female shopkeeper?
Du Shisheng would not show his unhappiness on his face. He was a madman when he was young, but now he is only three points broad-minded and seven points more refined. After following the figure of the female shopkeeper Pingping Tingting for a few steps, he stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Pan'er, is that boy from Wu Lin Dao here yet?"
The figure of the female shopkeeper in front paused for a moment, then retreated gracefully to Du Shisheng's side, speaking in a clear and smiling voice: "Mr. Jinzhi is bluffing me! I don't want Mr. Wu Linda to know about this situation."
Good guy, the previous battlefield report said that although the Dinghai navy was defeated, it retreated quickly, so I can still come here, which is considered a preferential treatment.
Wu Lin was unlucky when he answered. The Hebei Meng'an Muke army behind him seemed to have been completely defeated in Liangxiang, which may have meant that the Pusan family's general power was completely destroyed. So this person who had been the director of the Fengyu Monk Food Bureau of the Attendant Bureau and was a close official of Emperor Zhang Zong was no longer qualified to drink a glass of wine.
The government is really weak, the top and bottom are out of order, and the foxes and rats in the city are now shaking!
With this thought in his mind, Du Shisheng kept walking and followed the female shopkeeper named Pan'er into the restaurant. This restaurant is quite large. After walking around the corridors and pond rockery for hundreds of steps, I saw an old man with white hair smiling and saluting.
Du Shisheng nodded politely: "Mr. Zhao!"
According to the Daikin system, the yamen responsible for taxing money, supervising and supervising the implementation of tax affairs in Zhongdu was called the Commercial Tax Department of Zhongdu. There was a commercial tax envoy and a deputy envoy who managed all things. There is one supervisor, and under him there are four officials and ten envoys.
In fact, things in business are very deep. How can one find out the details by bringing in an official from outside? For decades, in the Commercial and Taxation Department, everything from officials to governors and above were just decorations. Those who played a serious role have always been the officials and envoys.
The old man's surname was Zhao Minggongzuo. During the reign of King Sejong's Dading, the capital was built, and he served as an envoy in the Commercial and Taxation Department. He had witnessed the rise and fall of many dignitaries in the Kingdom of Jin. When Xu Chi was in power, Du Shisheng had contacts with him. Although this man is now old and has long since resigned from his position as minister, he is still one of the very high-status figures in those places in Zhongdu that the emperor and nobles disdain to look at.
"Guo Xuanshi is really awesome!"
Zhao Gongzuo raised his eyelids and looked at Du Shisheng, and snored a few times: "It's only been two years, right? Does Guo Xuanshi dare to fight with the Tatar Khan? Hey, even though the battle in Liangxiang was defeated, it was still an honor, and he was worthy of winning. The reputation of the evil tiger is spread throughout the capital!"
