Chapter 160 Expropriation

That night Guo Ning lived in Haicang Tunbao.

Aluhan was very considerate and asked Guo Ning to live in his house, but Guo Ning declined. Instead, he chose a collapsed watchtower against the high wall outside the Tunpu, and set up a tent on the former site of the watchtower.

Then he started to regret it.It wasn't because of the high humidity and bad environment in Tunpu, but because he seemed to have underestimated Aruhan's appeal, just as Aruhan also underestimated Guo Ning.

Aluhan thought that Guo Ning didn't know about the bloated military system in the Dajin Dynasty, and the situation of Meng'an Muke walking everywhere, because he didn't understand Guo Ning at all. After that, he suddenly gained a high position, not knowing the local situation.

In fact, although Guo Ning is young and has a dusty face, how does it look like he was born in a noble family?

He started in northern Xinjiang, and his family is a regular army.He can vividly remember the situation where Jurchen's fierce Anmuke system was abolished, and there were so many positions.

Not only him, but all the soldiers who retreated from northern Xinjiang to Hebei know that those Meng'an Muke households still have [-]% of the bravery of their ancestors, why is it that the hundreds of thousands of troops are filled with Han'er, Bohai people and Khitan people? Rely on these conquered nations to fight the Mongols?

So when Guo Ning saw Aluhan, he knew that this was a Mouk who was wandering in the backcountry and was not satisfied.And this kind of Mouk, whose official status is high enough, but whose actual status is low enough, is just used as a mouthpiece to convey information to the outside world.

But maybe Aruhan has some prestige among the local Jurchens, or maybe the people on Shandong East Road have had a hard time these past few years and really have no food.Not long after Guo Ning stayed, people gathered from all over the place one after another.

There are so many people, there is no way to arrange them for a while.

But the ordinary people did not need any special arrangements, they gathered in the depression below the Tunbao, and took weeds and reeds from the deserted beach to make a fire, temporarily resisting the chill of the sea breeze at night.

Guo Ning asked Aluhan to pass the word that only young and strong.But not only the young and old came, but also many men, women and children.Most of them were ragged, some wore white round-neck robes, some wore messy clothes.Most of them are thin and thin, their faces and bodies are black and full of mud.

The place where the crowd gathered happened to be close to the watchtower on the height of the Tunpu. The dirty and musty smell from their clothes or bodies, as well as the strong smell of stewed sea fish and seaweed, drifted with the wind and poured into the military tent in bursts. .

At first, Guo Ning was looking around from a high place, then he left Tunbao and walked towards the col with a few people.

Under the night, he saw emaciated people huddling each other for warmth; he saw someone who seemed not afraid of the heat, took out cracked shellfish from the clay pot on the fire, and ate them hungrily.

He saw the old man curled up in the simple shack made of reed poles, helping the children to pick the lice from their body and hair, and eating them naturally; Open the grass stem, bite the slightly soft and tender part inside, chew a few mouthfuls and then swallow it.

When Guo Ning and others approached, these people saw the military robes and weapons of Guo Ning and others, and there was a sudden commotion.Some people ran to the outside of the col in a panic, while others didn't run, but knelt down silently to get out of the way.

The road leads to the depths of the depression, the moon is dim, and there is no light there.

The faint voices that Guo Ning heard from the heights of the Tunpu are now clearer here. There are shouts, screams from women, and terrified cries from children.

That's the brave man in Meng'an Mokehu, who took the opportunity to rob him.

This kind of thing is probably normal for the Jurchens. No matter how down-and-out the Jurchens are, they are always the masters, which is higher than the Haner who is a driver and a serf.

However, the soldiers under Guo Ning were used to seeing death, and they were in danger every day. They could not suppress their wildness and ferocity.To be honest, their performance in this area is not necessarily very good.

Especially Li Ting's subordinates are extraordinarily reckless.Guo Ning has stated military discipline several times before, but the effect cannot be imposed for the time being.

Guo Ning stopped and shook his head.

"When I was in Changzhou, I only knew that the sufferings of the soldiers on the frontier were the same in the world. Later, when I went to Anzhou, I found that the people in Hebei suffered the same. Now, it was confirmed in Laizhou, Shandong that the rule of the Jin Dynasty was originally No one can live with this ghostly look."

He waved to Ni Yi.

"Lang Jun?"

"Take a few people to see what's going on? Pick one you don't like and kill it. Then tell the others that they are arguing with me. If you don't want to die, shut up and be honest."

Ni Yi said yes loudly.He took a few armored servants, put on the ferocious expression that Guo Ning often had, held his own iron axe, and strode into the depths of the mountain depression.

Guo Ning turned around and returned.

When he returned to the military tent on the top of the Tunbao, the place where the crowd gathered below was already quiet.Looking over for a while, it can be seen that Ni Yi is coming out of the mountain depression, and it seems that he has more than one head in his hand... That's okay.

Work on expanding and maintaining the port began the next day.Although it is a pretext, things have to be done well.

Between Tunpu and the bay, in addition to ramming roads, several simple Rongtai should be built relying on special terrain such as reef beaches or seawalls.

Because there are enough people, some were assigned to repair the Tunbao.

The Fushan area in the northeast of Haicang Town is lush with trees.But the people had no tools at hand, so they tied the thatch into ropes, weaved reeds into panels, and then poured sand into the panels as foundations or temporary walls.

There are more than [-] strong men and more than [-] healthy women who do these things.In fact, the strong men are not very strong, and the healthy women are not very healthy, but for a bite of food, they all tried their best and put in labor.

Because there were more people than expected, if Guo Ning fed everyone as he boasted, the military rations might not last for two days.So he greeted Chucai secretly, and the meal he finally gave could only barely satisfy his hunger.

Fortunately, that's all, and the people are already very satisfied.On the next morning, Guo Ning also recruited some old and weak women and children, and asked them to pick up shellfish along the beach and use them as extra meals for everyone.

This made the people even more grateful.When Guo Ning and Yira Chucai were going out, they unexpectedly met people kowtowing by the roadside.

Yila Chucai's talent in government affairs was also brought into full play at this time.It should be known that Guo Ning's troops came across the sea, established hastily, the environment is unfamiliar and the affairs are so complicated?
Thousands of troops and thousands of civilians have to distribute supplies, deploy armaments, organize and resume military training, and arrange labor.And he faced many people who were illiterate, and even couldn't tell the numbers beyond the number of fingers.

Fortunately, although Yila Chucai's family background is noble, he has been at the grassroots level for a long time, and he really knows what the people below think.He took a few officials to run around, counting, counting, transcribing, and assigning wherever he went, straightening out the process abruptly, and arranging everything properly.

Monk Luo and others have long admired Chu Cai.By this time, Ma Bao's subordinates, the soldiers who originally belonged to the Jing'an people, and even the Jurchen poor men under Aluhan's subordinates all praised him, saying that the Yiba Judge is really powerful.

On the morning of the third day, Guo Ning came to look for him suddenly.

Yila Chucai was writing. Seeing that it was Guo Ning coming, he immediately said, "Don't worry, we can last for two more days! I calculated carefully, and there is no problem for two days. Just find an explanation on the matter of the grain ship... ..."

Guo Ning shook his head: "It won't take two days. Jinqing, there is a guest here right now, and it's a distinguished guest."

　Hu Jianjian!
