Seeing Li Ting's happy brows, Guo Ning added: "Over there at Guanlong, there is the Xia Kingdom in the north and the Song Kingdom in the south. There are countless active foreign tribes. This military and political power is not so easy to control. After you get there, who can you rely on? , you have to think clearly about whom to use, who to deal with, and whom to guard against!"
Li Ting laughed: "Don't worry, I understand! This is the way to dominate the mountain in Wuguandian back then. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, you have to do the most vicious one first, and at the same time, you have to squint at the officials and officials. He is powerful. Those who should share the profits and offer them up will be held high; those who should be pulled together to share the spoils will be held tight; those who should kill people to anger the common people will not wait for more than a day!"
Guo Ning sighed: "That's it... you are really a fucking talent."
After a moment of discussion, Li Ting opened the tent door.
The two men instantly turned back to their fierce faces. Guo Ning wanted to severely punish the hundreds of generals who had just killed and looted, but Li Ting just refused. The two argued for a few words, and Guo Ning became more and more angry. Li Ting simply banged the table and shouted to argue.
How does this happen? Is this the handsome guy you think is sitting across from you, or is he still your friend in the grass? Is it possible that your subordinates are seeking death and you are seeking death too?
Li Ting has a restless temper, but there are some serious people among his subordinates. Seeing this situation, their faces turned pale with fright. They rushed into the tent to stop Li Ting's mischief. They knelt down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged Guo Ning to forgive him.
Guo Ning looked at them coldly at first, but after a while he softened slightly and allowed these people to get up.
He said sincerely: "You have followed me in many battles in the north and south, and those of you who have known me for the longest time fought side by side in Changzhou. I remember everyone's meritorious deeds and the friendship between us. This time we opened up new territories and won the victory. Kaifeng, you have made great contributions, and I have already prepared the rewards you deserve. Not only the wealth and promotions at hand, but also people will be relocated in the future to enrich the fields and shelters you deserve... But..."
Seeing everyone leaning over again, his tone became harder: "However, when a large corps fights, military discipline is strict. If we behave like this every time we enter the city, how are we any different from gangsters? Li Erlang is too lazy to make daily mistakes I don’t care about you, I can’t interfere, but today this matter has become a big deal!”
After pondering for a moment, he said: "My determination has been made and cannot be changed. I have been pestering Li Erlang repeatedly. Although his tone is ugly, his heart is sincere. So, if it affects the homes of ordinary people and damages people's lives, I will remember There were twenty or thirty of them, and they were all killed.”
"……yes."
"For the rest, each person should write down fifty military sticks, and then hand-copy the military discipline ten times and bring it to me! Next time, they will be punished for both crimes, and you will not be able to escape the involvement!"
Although copying military discipline by hand is painful, it is better than losing your head. This is really lifted high and dropped gently.
The generals were overjoyed and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Lord!"
"Get up!"
Guo Ning walked around the table, stood in front of the hall and stared at the generals. He finally nodded and left.
The generals leaned over and did not dare to move. After a while, when they heard the cavalry galloping away, some of them breathed a sigh of relief: "The Duke is really a hero, and he has become more and more majestic recently. Fortunately, we saved face on this trip. It’s so big that it’s unusual, and the friendship with the lord is as deep as the ocean, otherwise, are you afraid that you will lose your head?”
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"
Suddenly there was a strange noise in the tent. When the generals turned around, they discovered that Li Ting was trying hard to speak. There were two soldiers holding Li Ting and covering his mouth to prevent him from talking or moving.
This was the deputy general's emergency response just now when Li Tingjun impolitely slapped the table in front of him. However, he never thought that the two soldiers were a little stunned and persisted until now.
"Let go, let go! Let go of our commander!"
Everyone shouted quickly and surrounded Li Ting, flattering him fiercely. Anyway, he said good things for free. They immediately praised Li Ting and made him faint.
While they were enjoying themselves, someone brought out some good burn medicine and asked Li Jieshuai to lie down comfortably and put his feet up to receive the treatment. Others brought wine and meat and asked Li Ting if he wanted to enjoy some more. Finally, Li Ting was not dizzy yet and pointed to a reliable subordinate: "If you should beheaded, behead it immediately!"
The subordinate responded.
Many of Li Ting's soldiers were not free from banditry. As soon as the coach Guo Ning left, the chaos in the camp became chaotic. Although Guo Ning didn't see it, he could imagine it, but he wouldn't care about it.
When the large group of people was busy, Guo Ning and his men had already turned back to Hengjie and headed for Xingjiao Temple in the northeast of the city.
Only those who have never led a military would think that running an army only requires strict military laws, and would think that an army has only one look.
No matter how detailed military law is, there are always limits. As the size of the army increases, the soldiers are accustomed to winning, so they will inevitably become unruly, and the generals each have their own command styles, so people's hearts will inevitably be complicated and changeable.
On the other hand, no matter how much you emphasize your own justice, the army is a machine for killing. Guo Ning has risen as Han'er. Facing many foreign races, the army will inevitably need to do more things, which makes it more difficult to use. Military law is completely covered.
So sometimes, Guo Ning would act as a villain in Li Ting's army and help Li Ting clean up his arrogant soldiers; while Li Ting would act as a villain for Guo Ning and take the blame. This is a tacit understanding between generals. There is no need to plan in advance. They know what each other needs as soon as their eyes change.
It took a lot of time to complete the whole show. At this time, there were no ordinary people walking on the streets. A large army of soldiers and horses had isolated the entire block. Those patrolling the streets holding pine torches and those watching from high places were all officers of the Ding Navy, and many of them were full of excitement.
Under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, the number of residents in Kaifeng was far less than when it was the capital of the Song Dynasty. During the two years when King Sui controlled Kaifeng, many civilian buildings were demolished to serve as military camps. However, when Ding Haijun entered the city that day, he was afraid that there would be remnants of the enemy troops lurking and causing trouble, so he did not easily enter the military camp. Instead, he ordered many officials' families to vacate and use their mansions to house the troops.
Including several large temples in the city, they have now become the residences of generals.
The Xingjiao Temple where Guo Ning was stationed was ordered to be built by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Later, a glazed pagoda was built to enshrine the relics of the Buddha's true body captured from Wuyue Kingdom.
The monks in the temple have now moved elsewhere, and the soldiers stationed there have built a new wall of sheep and horses at the main entrance of the temple. Seeing the flash of fire held by the cavalry, the soldiers behind the wall galloped out and asked for the password, and then dozens of people opened the doors and lined up to greet them.
Prime Minister Guo Ning's soldiers nodded, immediately got off their horses, and led their horses back and forth to the hospital in sequence. There was no human noise except the sound of horse hooves.
When they reached the front of the main hall, Ni Yi came up to them and said, "Everyone has arrived and they have been placed in a nearby courtyard."
Guo Ning nodded and handed the reins to Cong. Turning to the Moon Cave Gate on the right, he shook his head and laughed twice: "After the war, I seem to be busier than during the war."
He has a warrior character, with a dictatorial side in his heart, and because of that big dream, he has full confidence in his own decisions. Therefore, when discussing major political issues, he directly sets the tone, and then everyone in the inner circle discusses, disputes, and improves it. When it comes to issuing orders, he neither delays, nor does any of his subordinates dare to disobey him. He can usually make major decisions in just a few words.
Many personnel arrangements after the capture of Kaifeng, as well as future military and political response strategies and core principles, would have been difficult to polish for several months if another regime was changed. After all, the larger the scale of the foundation, the more interests are involved. Many things are too much tried to be done comprehensively, but instead they look forward and backward, and are hijacked by people or groups with interests.
But after Guo Ning entered the city, he met with his subordinates one after another and made many important arrangements directly. In the first half hour, he met with several important generals, including Guo Zhongyuan and Li Ting, and in the next half of the night he had to meet many people one after another.
Following? After passing two or three large or small courtyards, Guo Ning came to the outside of the single courtyard where he lived. This courtyard is not big. According to the Jurchen custom, people sit west and face east. It is obviously newly built in modern times. The courtyard is very quiet with the shadows of trees dancing in it.
Guo Ning stood in front of the door, and Ni Yi asked: "Which one should I see first, my lord?"
Guo Ning raised his hand to get the roster. He first saw many of his subordinates, and then saw Zhao Fang and Xuan Zhen who were at the end. He couldn't help but sigh. Things in the north are far from stable and will involve many forces, but intrigues with neighboring countries in the south are in the ascendant. In this world, there is really no stopping for a moment.
