Chapter 259 Red Coat

"Jie Shuai went to see Yang An'er? How can that be?"

Yicha Chucai and Xu Wei were all taken aback.

Xu Yu said with a dry smile: "If Yang An'er is determined to raise troops, why would he care about us? You may not be able to see him if you want to see him..."

Yicha Chucai also said: "If the commander-in-chief meets with the bandit leader, once the news gets out, there will be a lot of people in Zhongdu, and there may be accidents."

Guo Ning was not in a hurry to answer.He returned to his seat, looked at the map carefully, and fell into deep thought.

The noise of the new army gathering outside the Tunbao came into the house with the wind, Ni Yi quickly sent people out and told them to wait for a while.As a result, the room became much quieter. Guo Ning sometimes moved the map, making a soft rustling sound.

Guo Ning's Dinghai can be said to be a strange work produced in the chaos of the alternation of the two emperors of the Dajin Kingdom.

The grassroots of this group are all broken soldiers who were abandoned or ignored by the Dajin court. The only one they are loyal to is Guo Ning.The source of high-level officials in this group is even more complicated. Almost none of them are loyal ministers of Daikin. Everyone is disappointed with Daikin and is eager to start anew.

They talk about how the imperial court is like and how the bandit soldiers are, but in fact they have the characteristics of both, and they are bandit soldiers wearing the hat of imperial officials.

In this way, it is actually very common to be in such a situation where you don't speak clearly at the moment and stop talking.

All the people present are smart people, and they can hear their own thoughts.

What Xu Yu meant was that Guo Ning wore the hat of Dinghai Jiedushi, although it has advantages, it also has disadvantages.For example, after defeating the enemy, they could not take advantage of the victory to expand the territory, but could only send troops out to recruit refugees in a roundabout way. This is a manifestation of the limitation of the expansion of power by the imperial court system.

At this moment, Li Quan rebelled and easily washed Weizhou for Guo Ning, and Guo Ning could send troops to Weizhou as a matter of course as long as he used the banner of calming the chaos, and even reached out to Yidu Mansion.

If you stretch out your hand, naturally you won't take it back.But what happened after that was a headache for the imperial court.Could they still make Guo Ning spit out the fat that he ate?
Don't talk about it, Xu Yu has read every piece of information that Du Shisheng sent back from it.Genghis Khan is still staring at the outside of the central capital, planning to bite down from the center of the Dajin Kingdom and grab the most lucrative benefits... At this time, does the imperial court care about Shandong?No matter how arrogant Guo Ning is, the princes of the court can only pinch their noses to recognize it.

This benefit, if you don't take it, don't take it for nothing!
And Yicha Chucai is much more stable than Xu Wei, or in other words, he is more willing to play the role of an official hat to the extreme.

Guo Ning, the Dinghai Jiedushi, theoretically, besides Laizhou, can also manage the military affairs of Ninghai Prefecture and Dengzhou.But since Guo Ning arrived in Laizhou, Ninghai Governor Wugu Lun Rongzu and Dengzhou Governor Geng Ge did not take any action at all, and did not take this military superior seriously.

The Ugulun family is the noble surname of the Jurchens. They were married to the Tudan, Tang Kuo, Pucha and other clans, and they will become the master after they marry.I heard that Nawugu Lun Rongzu despised Guo Ning, he was only a lucky person who became rich and powerful by attaching himself to Tu Danyi.

When Shandong was in turmoil during the Taihe period, Geng Ge was one of the local figures who took advantage of the momentum. Later, he went around and worked as a second official before returning to Shandong East Road and serving as the governor of Dengzhou.

Da Jin Guo put such a person in Dengzhou, it is really stupid.Who knows what secret connection this person has with Yang An'er?God knows what will happen to the Dengzhou area if the situation changes?
The idea of ​​assassinating Chucai is very simple. Li Quanai's troubles in Weizhou and even Yidu are all his abilities.If Yang An'er and Liu Erzu can join forces and make a big commotion, they can do it freely.As the envoy of the Ding Navy, Guo Ning's job is to protect the environment and the people. The more trouble you make, the more reason Guo Ning has to control Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefectures under the court's law.

After controlling the two states, Guo Ning's troops can occupy the sea on three sides, while resisting Yang An'er's troops with strong troops on one side.If you manage the water, you can control the throats of Liaozuo in the north and the gates of Jianghuai in the south, like a giant eagle spreading its wings and soaring up... The benefits of this are much better than the refugees in Jinan and other places.

As for what will happen to Yang An'er and others when they become bigger, Yila Chucai is not worried.Guo Ning can defeat the Mongolian army with thousands of people. After controlling the three states, he will use the system of military households to gather forces. I am afraid that the elite soldiers who can be dispatched at any time will exceed [-]... By then, it will not be difficult to sweep Shandong. Are you still afraid of those rebellious local thieves?
The two have different views, just as the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom, each has its own considerations.

The ideas of the two, whether radical or steady, can make the power of Dinghai expand rapidly, from one state to several states, and then form a situation of separatism and victory, becoming the warlord who actually controls one side.

Guo Ning believes that the thoughts of the two of them also represent the thoughts of many people in Dinghai.

It took a lot of effort to finally repel the Mongolian army, and then naturally use the momentum of victory to expand and develop.Otherwise, what's the point of winning?
The decline of the Great Jin Dynasty is so obvious, even if we don't talk about the end of the dynasty, the next troubled times will be hard to avoid.Taking the territory of Dajin as a chess game, the Mongols, the Song people in the Southern Dynasties, and other forces will all scramble to make a move sooner or later.And every force will not stop, just sit and wait.Because time waits for no one, if one step is slow, every step will be slow.

But these two ideas will inevitably lead to conflicts with Yang An'er's forces, and will inevitably lead to continuous wars.

Guo Ning is not afraid of fighting at all, and even likes fighting very much.But now, he thinks a little differently from the others.

Guo Ning is a warrior who grew up from a military fort in the northern frontier. He has watched the two armies and two countries fighting with his own eyes since he was a child.What left the deepest impression on him was that the army of the Great Jin Kingdom had been continuously expanding in size over the past ten years, but its combat effectiveness was constantly weakening.

It is said that when the Great Jin Kingdom flourished, it had over 20 people running amok in the world, and within ten years, it destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasties, and ruled the entire territory.Twenty years ago, the famous general Jiagu Qingchen led his troops deep into the grasslands to crusade against non-officials. As Prime Minister Zuo, his troops consisted of only 8000 iron cavalry as the front team and [-] elite soldiers as the rear team, a total of [-] people.

However, when Guo Ning was a teenager, Dajin deployed more and more soldiers and horses along the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang.Numerous people from Shandong, Hebei, Hedong and even Guanzhong harassed Guo Ning.

When Wanyan Chengyu was at Yehuling and Aotunxiang was at the mouth of Migu, Dajin even used the power of the whole dynasty, ordered Xiaorui, and in solidarity, chose to ride on foot and send Jidian. It's 50, 70!

Is it useful?
Fart is useless.

The mountains of corpses piled up in the two battlefields, the pools and rivers of blood that never dried up for months, and the swarms of carrion crows that have not dispersed for several years are the best proof.

The Mongolian army fighting against them was only tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, Guo Ning firmly believes in the truth that soldiers are more expensive than more expensive.No matter how many troops there are, if there is no corresponding logistics, ordnance, training, and incentives, they will be no different from pigs and sheep sent to the slaughterhouse.

This principle is also the same in a military and political group.Territory should be ruled rather than big.No matter how large the territory is, if there is no strict governance and top-down control, it will be meaningless.For example, if a giant has too much fat on his body that cannot exert his strength, it will be a burden, and when he fights with others, he will die in vain.

Therefore, from Guo Ning's standpoint, he wanted to take advantage of the prestige of defeating the Mongols, establish his own position in Laizhou, and then strictly implement the two-tier system of general households and shade households.Taking this system as the foundation, we will deeply cultivate the grassroots, solidly govern, and strengthen our strength.

At present, the population of Laizhou is far from sufficient, and the governance system has not yet seen actual results. Many people still have doubts about this.Guo Ning is a vicious tiger, but he is not a madman. In his opinion, it is not time for massive expansion yet.

At least this year and next year, before Laizhou is enriched, Guo Ning does not intend to take the trouble to take the broken territory of that state or two states.He believed that it would be more effective to enrich the strength of the Ding Navy if he settled down and managed Laizhou slowly.

If you want to operate slowly, of course you have to consider whether the external environment allows it.

According to Guo Ning's vision, he and the Dajin court can make false claims; he and Yang An'er and others' red coat army may as well not disturb each other;

In the past month or so, Guo Ning has done this in Shandong.

But if the Red Coat Army suddenly gains momentum...

Guo Ning's own family has seen many routs and bandits, and has dealt with Yang An'er's troops.He would not overestimate the ability of these rebellious heroes to control their opponents at all.

If the whole of Shandong falls into chaos, Laizhou will be like a lone sail in the boiling sea. How can safety be guaranteed?Where can I guarantee that I will not be disturbed?
Even if Guo Ning suppressed it with strong troops, how many battles would it take?How many people do you want to kill?Guo Ning believes that his side will surely win, but the construction of Laizhou will inevitably be interrupted, so why bother?

Guo Ning got up and looked out the window.

He saw several officers organizing the army and civilians, and continued to tidy up inside and outside the camp.The camp looked much more pleasing to the eye, and the damaged walls had been built again.Outside the camp, there were more than a thousand old and weak people holding simple tools and starting to dig water diversion ditches.

The same is true for the port area in the north.Crowds are like ants everywhere, in full swing.

Such a situation developed little by little under Guo Ning's nose. It looks comfortable and should not be disturbed.

Therefore, Guo Ning has his own way to ensure this situation.

Guo Ning made up his mind.

"Send someone to tell Li Quan that I don't care what he does in the west of Weizhou, as long as he doesn't touch the navy's army protecting the refugees, everyone will be fine. Then tell the officers in our army to move quickly! As for Where is Yang An'er... Where is Yang An'er stationed recently?"

"Juzhou, Moqishan. In the past few months, if Yang An'er's troops in Juzhou and Mizhou were dispatched, they would first meet at Moqishan."

Guo Ning nodded, and said to Xu Wei: "Go now and find some guides who are familiar with the route. Well, Yan Ning is from Juzhou, right? I remember that he has a stronghold in Tiansheng Village in Juzhou... also Call him!"

Xu Yu subconsciously agreed, and Chu Cai tremblingly said: "Jie Shuai, what are you going to do?"

"Ni Yi!"

"exist!"

"Order two hundred Qingqi, and follow me to Juzhou once."

Guo Ning began to pack his sidearms.He looked at Yila Chucai, and said earnestly: "I'll go see Yang An'er and explain the rules first."

Yicha Chucai felt his legs go limp, and fell down on the ground.
