Chapter 146

The military newspapers gathered from all over the country could not reach Jing Anmin, but he had also fought against the Mongols for a long time, and knew how fierce the Mongolian army's tactics were.He didn't feel at all that he could easily arrive in Shandong with thousands of soldiers and family members, as well as a large amount of food and fodder.

Under the threat of the Mongolian cavalry, the road from Zhongdu to Shandong is not safe at all, and the marching army is no different from defenseless prey in the eyes of the Mongolians.

Jing Anmin considered the situation from Guo Ning's standpoint, so he asked this question.

When Guo Ning heard this, he laughed.

Immediately, Chu Cai and Du Shisheng also laughed.

Du Shisheng said: "In the past two months, I came to Zhongdu all the time. After all, my busyness was not in vain."

After that, Monk Luo and Han Xuan also laughed.

Both of these two had fought to the death with Guo Ning in the chaotic situation of the army's defeat.They trust Guo Ning far more than others.But even the two of them had some doubts before, and felt that many of Guo Ning's arrangements seemed well-thought-out, but they might not really work.With so many resources invested in it, as long as one step or two are wrong, it will all be in vain.

But since the appointment of the Dinghai Navy, they have no doubts.They are very sure that Guo Liulang is no longer a simple brave warrior, but a leader who is worthy of everyone's trust and has an extremely precise vision!

When the others were laughing, Li Ting's expression was even more triumphant, as if his face was about to glow red.

Guo Zhongyuan, who was standing at the bottom, was a little worried when he heard Jing Anmin's question, but when he saw Li Ting's face, he immediately thought of the rumors about the city foxes and rats in the past.

Those people said that Li Erlang's younger brother, Li Yun, had already returned to his hometown, and because of the powerful support behind him, he managed the situation quite a bit...

Guo Zhongyuan relaxed and said in a low voice, "So that's how it is."

Guo Ning smiled and said to Jing An Min: "Brother An Min probably noticed that Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo, two of my generals, did not enter the Central Capital with the headquarters."

Jinganmin was stunned, and replied: "I remember that Shixian was the family member who accompanied the soldiers earlier? I haven't seen him since we fought the Mongols in Ya'erzhai. As for Qiu Huiluo... "

Qiu Huiluo was originally the general of the Fifth Capital under Guo Ning's command, and he was from the same Changzhou defeated army as Guo Ning.It's just that Guo Ning is from the Yongtun army, while Qiu Huiluo is from Shandong and signed to Changzhou. The two are very familiar companions.

Jing Anmin had seen this person before when he was looking at Guo Ning's subordinates in Xu Yu's shop.

But when Guo Ning mentioned it, Jing Anmin realized that it seemed that he hadn't seen this general for a long time, as if he left the Feijunhe camp not long after he got the appointment, and never showed up again?
Monk Luo laughed and said: "We all beat life and death in Zhongzhong, but you guys live a good life in Baodi County eating delicious food and spicy food."

"Baodi County?" Jing Anmin was startled.

Baodi County is a county under Daxing Prefecture, located in the southeast of Daxing Prefecture by the sea.The entire Baodi County covers a large area. It is adjacent to Jizhou in the east, Tongzhou, the terminal of the northern water transport, in the north, and Wuqing, an important Caocang, in the southwest.On the border between Zhengnan and Qingzhou, there is the Zhigu Village of Sanchakou Waterway.

It never occurred to him that Guo Ning had deployed a backup in Baodi in advance.But……

"That place is the place where the grain is transshipped. Could it be that Liulang intends to use boats to transport it to the Yuhe River?" Jing'an Min was overjoyed at first, then shook his head: "But since the Mongolian army entered Hebei, I'm afraid that sailing along the Yuhe River has already stopped? What's more, even if it is navigable, should we follow the Yongji Canal and Yuhe all the way westward to Junzhou and Huazhou and then enter the Yellow River? This is a journey of thousands of miles, and if there is any disturbance along the way, it will be troublesome!"

Having said that, he suddenly froze.

And Guo Ning said with a smile: "Brother Anmin, we naturally won't go to Yuhe..."

"Don't take Yuhe? Could it be...by sea?" Jing Anmin asked in a deep voice.

Guo Ning nodded.

"This is a team of thousands of people, and there are so many military supplies and fodder collected! Can the sea route really be successful?" Jing Anmin hesitated: "Liulang, maybe I am ignorant? In Baodi, there are many tank boats who want to come to the inland river. The thing is... but I have never heard that there is a large-scale shipping fleet to Shandong?"

"Brother An Min, just rest assured. Brother Shixian, Lao Qiu, and Li Yun have all worked hard on that area, and everything has been arranged." Guo Ning was full of confidence.

Li Ting also laughed and said, "Li Yun has been busy working there for half a year. If there is no result, I will peel his skin!"

The two brothers of the Li family joined the army, and Li Ting always took care of his third brother, often pretending to be like a father, and admonishing him.If Li Yun made a mistake in the army, Li Ting will definitely punish him, and he will never show favoritism.This is harsh enough, but it is also the normal state for two brothers to get along.

But at this moment, listening to what he said, Monk Luo and Han Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Haha, hahaha, it's fruitful! It's fruitful!"

Under their laughter, Li Ting's face turned from red to black, very embarrassed, and said angrily, "Anyway, just leave it alone! When I see this kid, I'll immediately skin him."

On the contrary, Jing Anmin was confused, and quickly asked: "What's the matter? There are still twists and turns in Baodi? Are you going to peel the skin?"

Li Ting coughed repeatedly.

"Li Er, this is a beautiful thing. Why aren't you happy?" Du Shisheng, who was watching from the side, said to Jing Anmin with a smile, "Brother Anmin, the matter over there in Baodi is a long story..."

When it comes to the situation around Zhongdu, Du Shisheng is very familiar with it, so he said slowly.

Jing Anmin was worried at first, but when he saw that everyone present was very relaxed and were still joking about Li Ting's younger brother Li Yun, he relaxed his mind a little and listened carefully.

It turns out that the counties in the south of Daxing Prefecture, the central capital, were mostly developed based on the needs of water transportation.For example, counties such as Wuqing, Yongqing, and Anci mainly rely on the Lugou River, and Xianghe County mainly relies on the Lushui River.

Later, Xincang Town in the south of Xianghe County gradually prospered, so the southeastern part of Xianghe County was analyzed and Baodi County was established.In the south of Baodi County, across the river, there were tidal flats and saline-alkali land facing the sea.

However, because the Song people in the Southern Dynasties made the Yellow River take the Huaihe River into the sea, this area was free from the harm of the Yellow River, and the hydrological situation was stable for decades. Therefore, Zhigu Village, which is connected by Lushui River, Yuhe River and Zhangshui River, has gradually become an important shipping node. .

Zhiguzhai passes through Lushui, passes through Wuqing to Tongzhou, and then turns to Zhahe. The end point that the tank boat can reach is Dongzhahe camp in the capital city where Guo Ning's troops were stationed before.From Zhiguzhai via Yuhe River and Yongji Canal to the south, you can reach Daming Mansion and enter the Yellow River at Liyang.

To the west of Zhigu Village, you can reach Ming and Cizhous via Zhangshui River, Tongxian and Shenzhous via Hutuo River, and Bazhou and Xiongzhous via Juma River and Liukou and Xin'an.It really extends in all directions, and there is nowhere to go.

Because the geographical conditions are so good, the imperial court specially sent a commander here to lead a heavy army.And with Zhigu Village as the center, from Baodi, Wuqing, Liukou, Jinghai and other places, in just a few decades, it has grown from nothing to a prosperous commercial area, just like a small Zhongdu in the south of Zhongdu.

"Then troubles arose!" Li Ting lamented.

Du Shisheng said seriously: "I'm about to discuss important matters, Li Erlang, don't interrupt!"

Guo Ning knew Li Ting's temper, and was afraid that he would be really upset, so he suppressed a smile and waved his hands again and again: "Let's leave! If you have anything else to say, let's talk slowly!"

Li Ting shook his head, sighed heavily, turned around and left.

But Guo Zhongyuan moved faster.He quickly got off the high platform and was going to recruit soldiers.
