If someone asks Guo Ning, what is the reason for Ding Haijun’s rapid rise?
Guo Ning would definitely answer at first, relying on force. But these days, he has been exposed to more and more government affairs, and his understanding of the development process of political power has become deeper and deeper, so he will probably answer that it depends on money.
He established a foothold in Shandong and was able to allocate land generously without expropriating it. Later, he continued to expand his military force and carried out large-scale construction in the controlled area to make the army and the people happy. This was all done by cutting off the maritime trade between the Jin and Song Dynasties and acting as an intermediary. The merchant collects money from both ends.
Until the control area of Dinghai Navy expanded to dozens of military states in the five routes, maritime trade was still the financial pillar of Dinghai Navy and the source of armor and stomach weapons for hundreds of thousands of soldiers, war horses and even medicines. In the past few months, due to the acquisition of Zhongdu's inventory, the Ding Navy's requirements for ordnance have been slightly reduced, but at the same time, a huge amount of grain and cattle have been imported from the Southern Dynasties, which are materials of great strategic significance.
What is certain is that without maritime trade, there would be no navy. Without the financial and material support from Haimao, even if Guo Ning was a hundred times more powerful than he is now, truly capable of defeating ten thousand men... he would still be just an ordinary man.
Not to mention the huge support given by the fleet in Dinghai operations. Whether in Shandong, Liaodong, or Zhongdu, the large-scale fleet created the possibility of large-scale maneuvers for the Ding Navy, and was responsible for the victory of several major battles.
Therefore, Guo Ning has always attached great importance to the fleet and has always been tolerant.
He started out in the rough and understands what ordinary people think better than ordinary generals. Therefore, he will never deceive his own people with false lies. Anyone he believes has meritorious service will be given generous rewards.
He even set aside a lot of fertile land in Shandong for people at sea to settle down. He also told local officials to always pay attention to arranging manpower to assist the sailors in spring plowing and autumn harvest after they went to sea.
This time Wang Shixian will take charge of maritime affairs, and he also adheres to Guo Ning's wishes and attaches great importance to them.
In the system and regulations submitted by Wang Shixian, the leaders of each department were equated to officers at the first level of command, and enjoyed the treatment of land allocated by the military government. The subordinates such as the chief officer, the big man, the subordinate leader, the fire chief, Ikari hand, Zhiku and other sailors on duty also correspond to the officers of all levels who are about to reach the rank of general.
Even those who are responsible for chores and physical work such as companions, cablemen, cooks, cooks, etc., if the same tasks are placed in the Ding Navy Headquarters, Ali likes to do them. Wang Shixian specifically reported to Guo Ning because of the difficulty of the sea route and regarded them all as regular troops. This item alone would take up tens of thousands of people, which would put a lot of pressure on Chucai.
This time, many fleet leaders and watermen came to visit. It was Guo Ning who was building momentum for Wang Shixian's appointment. It was also he who wanted to meet with the leaders to pave the way for better control of the fleet and play its role. .
According to the original plan, the leaders were not stationed in the Marshal's Mansion. It was Wang Shixian who specifically proposed this in order to show the military government's favor. Of course, from Guo Ning's point of view, considering that there might be some thieves in Zhongdu, it would be safer for the leaders to be stationed in the commander's mansion.
There is only one premise for all of this, which is that Guo Ning and Wang Shixian both regard the people on the sea as their own.
Who would have thought that these people would actually rebel?
These people on the sea come and go in the wind and waves, unlike the land-based cavalry who are always under Guo Ning's eyes and have a close relationship with each other. But all of them followed Guo Ning in Zhigu Village three years ago. In terms of seniority, he is more senior than most people in the Ding Navy now.
Talking about their friendship... When they worked for the Jurchen clan kings, they could never get more benefits than Guo Ning gave them. In the final analysis, Guo Ning treated them as people and partners, while Jurchens valued their stomachs. They just think they are dogs.
What's more, Ding Haijun's career is booming, Guo Ning is about to become king and duke, and embark on the road to power. How many people are overjoyed at the hope of being able to follow the dragon. Why do these people want to rebel? What are they planning?
They were originally the most important part of the Ding Navy, and they were also the core part! They were originally the group of people who could benefit the most from the rise of Ding Haijun!
Even if dragons and snakes coexist in this world, the Jurchens in Zhongdu look like this. They are not even snakes, but can only be regarded as winding horses. But what these leaders are doing in front of them is to abandon the dragon that is about to ride the wind and cooperate with Malu?
How stupid this is!
But just because they were so stupid, normal people didn't think of it, and it just gave them the momentum to cooperate inside and outside! Changzhou Guo Ning, as the commander-in-chief of the Ding Navy, commanded millions of soldiers and civilians, and occupied an area of thousands of miles. Half of the Kingdom of Jin would tremble with just a stamp of his feet...but this group of people rushed in front of him, almost endangering his relatives. roll!
It's true that Guo Ning likes to fight in person. He is a bit bloodthirsty and even frivolous in this regard. However, Guo Ning's own preparations for the many previous fights were all done on specially set battlefields. How could he be killed like this? Coming to your door?
How absurd!
Even if they are stupid, even if their decisions are absurd, as masters at sea, they will not make mistakes in their basic judgments of interests. It can even be said that because of the special situation at sea, their demands for interests are particularly direct. Therefore, behind them, someone must be instigating, someone must have made a credible promise, and someone must even have given them tangible benefits to impress them.
How did they do that? This approach is leveraging the foundation of Ding Haijun!
Guo Ning really didn't expect this. Recently, he has been focusing his energy on the monsters and monsters in Zhongdu City, but he never thought that there could still be problems within Ding Haijun, which he thought was so well-run.
How abominable this is!
In just a few moments, many thoughts went through Guo Ning's mind.
He turned around slightly and saw Xu Jin going from stunned to furious, Ni Yi going from confused to furious, and seeing a dozen soldiers who had not yet received orders running out of the arsenal, everyone was shocked and angry.
He suddenly thought again, as if he had just heard Wang Shixian's exclamation. This subordinate, who had been with him for a long time and was very reliable, had gone to inform the leaders of the good news. Since these leaders had evil intentions, Lao Wang was the first to bear the brunt.
I'm afraid something happened.
Wang Shixian was the first subordinate Guo Ning conquered after awakening from his dream in Wudian, Anzhou! Guo Ning and him have struggled to survive together from the edge, and they have a bond of friendship!
This made Guo Ning extremely angry.
The school grounds are large enough for horse racing. However, because Guo Ning set aside half of the area to build a courtyard for the daughter of the family, it was narrower than the usual school grounds. There were pine torches around the school grounds, and Guo Ning's figure standing in the middle of the school grounds was particularly eye-catching.
The charging direction of the group of leaders was facing the inner courtyard at the back, and passed exactly where Guo Ning was standing.
A hundred people, maybe a little more.
The person at the front of the chaotic group of people was a thin man.
This man is about 40 years old, with a long face and thin eyebrows. Although he looks thin, he does not appear weak at all, but is as powerful as a galloping horse. When he was running, he held a long knife in each hand, his shoulders were very steady and his steps were very fast. His whole body gave people the feeling of being extremely powerful and killing people like grass.
In today's world, although the world is in chaos, in the territories of countries such as the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the national laws still exist. Unless there is a military disaster, the basic rules are still intact. But this is not the case at sea. There are never any rules for fighting at sea. To be able to run rampant on the sea, the gang leader must first be ruthless enough.
In the list reported from Zhigu Village this time, there were several people in Gangsuli who arrived in Zhongdu with such reputations, and it was not known which one of them this person was. Since they are seeking death, Guo Ning doesn't need to ask.
They are all enemies. Since the enemy is seeking death, he deserves to die!
Guo Ning suddenly kicked the ground and rushed towards this man.
The skinny Gangshou had never seen Guo Ning before, so he didn't recognize that the tall warrior in front of him was his target. But he was not careless, he kept walking, and the sharp sword in his hands was already dancing with a whirring sound, like the sound of the wind.
At the same time as the sound of "wuwu" sword dancing, there was the sound of violent collision of metal.
When Guo Ning was about ten feet away, he exerted his strength with his waist and threw the Iron Bone Flower. The heavy iron bone with huge force slammed open the double sword frame with strict maneuvers; the fist-sized hammer head and twelve pear-shaped cones suddenly penetrated into the chin of the skinny enemy.
The fierce impact caused the leader's forward steps to stop suddenly. Tieguduo continued to advance inside his skull, causing a series of crackling sounds in the neck bones, causing his entire head to tilt back until the back of his head was in close contact with the back of his neck.
Following him were two of his close subordinates.
The two first saw their leader's facial features turned upside down, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling; then they discovered that blood was gushing out from the leader's broken jaw, revealing a hole, and a steel rod two or three feet long was dangling in the hole, as if it was holding him down. The leader's Tianling Gai was used as a vessel to hold water for washing.
The two of them, eyes wide open, exclaimed and took a few steps forward, just in time to see a tall warrior wearing iron armor stepping forward. He stretched out his arm and pulled out an iron bone flower from his leader's tilted head!
"Tieguduo!"
"This is Tieguduo!"
"This person is Guo Ning!"
"There are so many of us, don't be afraid! Go up! Go up! Kill him!"
In the past few years, from Shandong to Liaodong, from Hebei to beyond the Great Wall, who doesn't know Guo Ning's bravery in ten battles and ten battles? Although these leaders are at sea, they have heard about them for a long time. It's just that he could use this vicious name to scare his opponents, but now he has to encourage himself to boost his fighting spirit.
The rebels called out one after another, and both sides ran and approached quickly.
But Guo Ning didn't shout deliberately. He turned slightly sideways and dodged a scimitar that slashed straight up and down, and then used his strength to sweep across with the iron bone flower.
The man holding the scimitar was hit hard on the back, and he flew up in the direction of the charge, drawing an arc in the air. After falling to the ground, he scraped against the earth and rocks on the school ground, vomiting blood wherever he passed. Just like a moving fountain.
The third person rushed in front of Guo Ning almost at the same time, raised his dagger and stabbed quickly. Guo Ning raised his left arm and knocked the dagger away with his arm guard. Tie Guduo took advantage of the situation and retracted it, swiping at his ear.
When the man was about to dodge, the arm holding the sword was grabbed by Guo Ning. So Tie Guduo hit him squarely, knocking his upright body sideways. When he landed on the ground, his head was already in pieces, and all he could see was his hands and feet twitching.
The fourth person saw the opportunity and was about to hand out the short spear with a flat end in his hand, stabbing Guo Ning in the waist and abdomen.
But perhaps because Guo Ning's heroic reputation was too loud, he ignored Guo Ning's companions. Ni Yi covered him from behind, roared loudly and dropped the iron ax, cutting off his entire arm at shoulder level. Guo Ning then kicked him hard in the chest, causing him to stagger back and scattering the crowd rushing behind him.
A few dozen steps away from the back of the school grounds, Lu Han was sitting on the bed, surrounded by several strong servants. Lu Han listened for a while, picked up the child, and said to him with a smile: "Did you hear that? Daddy is killing a thief!"
