choke element

Chapter 387

Most of the core personnel of the Ding Navy did not take the imperial court seriously.At the beginning, this kind of emotion was only revealed in very private occasions, but as the power of one's own side grew stronger, the emotions of the soldiers became more and more straightforward.

In this regard, Guo Ning neither encourages nor prevents it.

It is not encouraged because Ding Hai still needs to keep a low profile, and it is not yet time to raise the flag; it is not discouraged because this emotion itself is indeed the heart of Ding Hai, and sooner or later it will be needed.

But Guo Ning did not despise the emperor himself.

Wanyan Xun was not mediocre in himself to be able to safely sit on the position of emperor amidst the chaos of the Central Capital Incident.

His control of the court, his supervision and suspicion of civil and military officials were not due to weakness in character or talent, but due to the situation.And what he did after he became emperor was not useless.

Guo Ning had discussed with Yishi Chucai.The changes in the political situation of the Dajin Kingdom in recent years are actually closely related to the changes in the military.

In the early years when Dajin fought with Mongolia and was still in the upper hand, every few years it mobilized the elites of the various commanding divisions along the boundary moat, led by the chief generals, and went northward to suppress and kill, which was extremely desolate.

Later, the Mongols gradually formed a unified regime, and it became more and more difficult for the Jin army to march northward, and the scale of troops needed to be used became larger and larger.However, the overall thinking of the imperial court is still to gather strong soldiers from all over the country to fight decisively and defeat the enemy on the grassland north of Jiehao.

This idea ran into the extremely powerful Mongolian army after reunification. As a result, in the two major battles at Yehuling and Migukou, tens of thousands to 10 people were defeated. , Human resources in various parts of Hebei suffered heavy losses.

Since then, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia have changed their offensive and defensive positions, and the court center of the Jin Kingdom is no longer able to organize the large-scale army of the previous one.During the war in the first year of Zhenyou, the military power of the imperial court was in the process of continuously slipping to the grass roots.

For a long time, the general manager's office and Jiedu envoy's office in various places in Dajin have also been in charge of military and political affairs, but a considerable number of these general managers and Jiedu envoys died in the previous fiasco at Yehuling and Migukou.As the prime minister, the Transshipment Department, the Criminal Promotion Department and other institutions were also smashed to pieces with the invasion of the Mongols.

Therefore, from the third year of Da'an, the appointment of Dajin's local military and political candidates has fallen into a state of loss of control.

The center can hardly fill the vacancies of local officials in time, and even if they send people to fill the vacancies, these officials have to act on their own and are completely isolated from the center.

For example, according to the system, if the local army will send more than 300 troops or recruit troops, the Shangshu Province will request the tiger talisman, and the near servant bureau will deliver the tiger talisman.But in fact, in front of the Mongolian cavalry, who has time to wait for the imperial court?

Whether facing the front line or the rear of the Mongols, the guarding generals and local heroes everywhere signed troops, collected food, fought wars, built forts, and defended the village.

Under such circumstances, the center of the imperial court and the emperor himself were in a state of extreme confusion and loss of control when making decisions on military and political affairs.

The emperor's field of vision can only reach within the city walls of the central capital, and everything outside the city walls is chaos and unknown.

I heard that where did you lose?How did you lose?What did you lose?have no idea.

I heard that where did you win?How did you win?Where did you win?do not know either.

In this out-of-control situation, any command and dispatch became empty talk. What can the emperor do?What dare to do?
Since ancient times, whenever the foreign enemies are strong and the emperor's rule is lost, this kind of situation will inevitably happen.If you can't get rid of this situation, the emperor or the center can't do anything; since the emperor and the center have nothing to do, how can the local government respect the center?As a result, the Dajin Kingdom will inevitably fall apart.

The emperor wanted to get rid of this situation, and there were nothing more than three methods.

The best way, of course, is to centrally promote capable generals, loyal and brave men, and reorganize the battle-ready army.

It's a pity that the Jurchen's military style has been declining for more than a day, and the local Jurchen defense forces are all rotten. However, although there are more than ten thousand Jurchen Dutong, Meng'an, and Mouk in Zhongdu City, those who dare to go out of the city to fight Very little.Not to mention that the court lacked money and food, and it was difficult to support the formation of a new army.

This method looks beautiful, but it will not work at all.

The second method is to set up generals and high-ranking officials widely, and build fences to divide the power of the generals;

However, these two methods, once they fail to subdue the generals, will instead promote dissension and morality, and arouse more conflicts between the local generals and the central government.Especially when the local generals themselves lack awe of the imperial court, the influence is getting worse.

Of course the emperor understood this.Therefore, he first used Ding Haijun to test his measure.

This is not because the emperor trusts Dinghai, but because the emperor completely distrusts Dinghai, and Dinghai itself is not a serious court soldier.

Once the emperor's methods are successfully used, he will be able to extract a considerable force from the Ding Navy and use it for the imperial court, which will make money out of thin air.

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if it arouses Guo Ning's anger.At present, when the navy and the imperial court are still communicating with each other, the emperor does not think that Guo Ning will rebel immediately.

Even if Guo Ning was angry, even if his generals scolded the dog emperor a few words, wouldn't it be detrimental to the emperor himself?
The worst result is just one or two servants being unlucky.Although the emperor kept saying that his servants were his confidants and eyes and ears, in fact, the death of a few servants was nothing.

It was nothing more than a small price paid in a small confrontation.

three days later.

Brother Wulin Damang, the servant of the Near Service Bureau, led his entourage and stood on the Xin'an seaside to the east of Zhigu village.

This is a remote wharf, so there are no merchants disturbing it.A big ship like Tongzhou, which had been arranged in advance, was slowly approaching, and his entourage was busy back and forth, placing their own carriages and horses on the pier.

Seeing the ship getting closer and hearing the crashing waves between the hull and the sea, Brother Wulin Damang suddenly became a little nervous.He said to his entourage: "This time we are going to Laizhou, we have an important task, you bastards, restrain yourself a bit, what you do depends on the occasion! Especially clean up that set of misbehavior! Just in case..."

"Understood, I understand. Uncle, be careful where you step."

The leader of the entourage is his nephew, who has always been the most arrogant and domineering, and what Brother Wulin Damang said was directed at him.But the young man obviously didn't listen, his face was full of joy, and he guessed that he wanted to make a fortune in Shandong.

The boat came to the shore, with a distance of Zhang Xu, and was built with two large wooden boards for passengers to walk on.

Wu Lin replied that Brother Mang was not impatient, he waited until all the carriages and horse cages were boarded, and finally he took a brocade-wrapped box and strode onto the wooden board.

Inside the box were the imperial court's rewards to Ding Hai Guo Ning, mainly iron coupons, tiger talismans, Daxin cards, etc., as well as appointments for Wu San officials to be promoted.The key is to give rewards to the generals of the navy, especially to Li Ting.

The plank is full of elasticity, and it wobbles badly when walking.Brother Wulin Damang boarded the boat carefully, and was about to step on the board.There was a dark man with the appearance of a gang leader standing in front, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he snatched the box from him.

"Is this the thing? The emperor's will is in it?" the man asked.

"Bold!" Wu Lin replied that Brother Mang was taken aback, and wanted to take it back, but his feet slipped.

The sea boat left the pier briskly and sailed to the depths of the sea. Looking outside the cabin, the color of the water surface was thick black, with a kind of bottomless yellow.The waves made white splashes on the hull.

Brother Wulin Damang was struggling in the sea water next to the cave, making tiny splashes of water.

When the Bureau of Apparel selected the manpower to deliver the decree to Laizhou, they were quite careful, choosing someone who had experience in sailing and could swim.

At this moment, half of his body was submerged in the sea water, and he pulled the surface of the water vigorously with both hands, trying his best to keep himself afloat.But at this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and right in front of him, large groups of red began to bloom on the surface of the sea.

Under the surface, something is swimming, someone!

The man also tied a heavy object to Wulin Damang's feet, causing him to sink quickly.

Brother Wulin Damang raised his face and yelled twice. The last scene in front of him was that the sailors on the ship killed his followers one by one, and then threw them into the sea.The dark-faced Gangshou sat on the bow of the boat, opened the brocade box roughly, and searched for something.

A wave crashed up, crushing him down.
