Chapter 443 Regret

Guo Ning returned to his tent and continued to work as usual.

Judging by the time, it was already the time of the curfew, and the post-war tidying up should almost be completed.But because the whole army is very happy, the military law is extra lenient, allowing the soldiers to relax.

Just a moment ago, Wu Xuan, who was in charge of counting the seizures, led the officials to find dozens of jars of wine from the luggage left by the servant San Anzhen.Guo Ning also specially approved the military order to distribute all the wine to moisten the throats of the soldiers.

The soldiers all know that Guo Ning himself is not good at drinking, and he hates the situation where drinking is wrong.Therefore, only the Lantern Festival and Chongwu are allowed to drink alcohol in the army. If there is any celebration in normal times, even on the day of Guo Ning's wedding, they only have pork and mutton as an extra meal, and no alcohol is allowed.

Even if you go out to drink at the camp during the holidays, you can't get drunk and make trouble. Once you are targeted by the Records Department or the Military Justice Department, your family's tax-free land may lose a few acres.

An army of tens of thousands of people divided dozens of jars of wine into the mouths of each soldier, and it took only one sip, and the taste rolled into the stomach after a sip.Rather than saying how delicious it is, it is better to say that Guo Ning paid tribute to the soldiers and shared the joy with everyone.

At this moment, he looked outside the gate of the camp, and sure enough, he saw pine torches going on and on, and noisy sounds one after another.Everyone understood what kind of benefits this victory brought, so except for the soldiers on duty, everyone was chatting and laughing.

Guo Ning himself has always been calm. At this time, he continued to review several documents and arrange various follow-up affairs.

Zhang Shengzhi and Wu Yu, who were accompanying the clerks on official duties, looked at each other, and they both felt that Jie Shuai was deep and introverted, but also had a grand plan, and he was really a man who accomplished great things.

After a while, Guo Ning stacked up the documents and files, knocked on the case table, and handed them back to the two big officials.Zhang Shengzhi and Wu Xuan took it with a bow and exited the tent.

Then Ni Yi stretched out his head outside the tent door.

"You all should rest earlier."

Guo Ning waved his hand, turned to the back tent, blew out the lights, and lay down with his clothes on.

After lying down for a long time, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Through the tent, the voices of soldiers talking and laughing could be heard in the distance.Guo Ning understands why the soldiers are happy and what they are looking forward to.He is also convinced that after this battle, he will have the absolute strength to honor these.

Previously, the Ding Navy was just a small shell under the raging tide of the deep sea, a candle in the storm. Guo Ning knew very well that when many huge forces competed with each other, only a few waves could be stirred up, and the Ding Navy, which was like a flat boat, could be swept away. into the sea.

He tried his best to show his tyrannical force, intimidated all parties at every turn, and fought against powerful enemies. In his heart, he wanted to cover up his loose foundation and that he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

But this time around, the situation is different.

The entire Shandong East Road had a total of 700 million households and nearly 200 million people during the Taihe period.Even if there have been many disasters and catastrophes in the past few years, there will be at least more than one million or even more than two million manpower, and there will be a huge output to match.

This will bring Guo Ning a steady stream of financial and military resources. According to a rough estimate before dispatching troops, the total amount will be more than twice that of the three states of Denglai.The two prefectures of Liaodong are barren, let alone insignificant.

At the same time, the officers and men of the Ding Navy have gained prospects and treatment through victory, which will attract countless soldiers and civilians on Shandong East Road to actively approach Guo Ning, making it easy for Guo Ning to establish an increasingly large military and political system.

This situation is a bit like a snowball.Everything Guo Ning did before was like making the snowball bigger and compacted, but from today onwards, the snowball will be rolling, bigger and bigger, and more and more unstoppable.

Guo Ning once fought bravely alone and almost died at the hands of Xiao Xiao;And now, the power he can control has far exceeded before, and his confidence to fight against powerful enemies has also far exceeded before.

In this world, the strongest enemy is nothing but the Mongolian army.

The generation's proud man on the plateau has a thunderous reputation, the ferocity that can stop children from crying, and the invincible victories.In Guo Ning's big dream, he and his successors set off an unprecedented sea of ​​blood.

All of this was once like a heavy stone, pressing on Guo Ning's chest, making him unable to breathe.Under the fierce appearance that he insisted on, there is always a fear that seems to be suffocating.

But now, Guo Ning can finally say to himself that there is nothing to be afraid of.

So far, Genghis Khan had been a soldier for half his life, and he only had hundreds of thousands of herdsmen under his command, and the troops he could draw out were at most a hundred or a thousand households.And I, Mr. Guo, went from being an armored army on the frontier to becoming the lord of ten states in Shandong within two years, with millions of Han soldiers and civilians!
How to fight with it?

Guo Ning felt his heart beating violently, he couldn't help getting up, holding the iron bone beside the bed, and gave a heavy meal.

In the future, you still need to make drastic moves. You must know that fighting with others is a lot of fun!
The next day, the main force of the Dinghai Navy split up, some went to Binzhou, some went to Dizhou, and there were countless light cavalry going out in all directions.Guo Ning personally led the main force and continued westward, straight into Jinan.

Thousands of miles around, dozens of states and counties, countless people saw that the Red Coat Army was torn apart, and the Hebei Golden Army rolled up its flag and fled far away, and immediately bowed their heads and surrendered.The flags representing the Red Coat Army, or the flags showing the military titles awarded by Pu San Anzhen fell one after another, and the cities finally returned to the rule of Shandong Xuanfu envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty.

But most smart people soon understood that Shandong Xuanfu Envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty was just a title.No matter what the imperial court thinks, the entire Shandong East Road has been surnamed Guo since then.

The huge Shandong will be in turmoil for decades, and the local situation has its own complications.Since the end of September, there have been sporadic and small forces making troubles one after another.

Some of them did not know how to live or die, and took this time as a good opportunity to raise their troops to expel the officials sent by the Ding Navy.Others simply resorted to the means of confrontation with the imperial court or the Red Coat Army in the past, thinking that they could use this to expand their control over the village.

In fact, most of these characters are fools. If Guo Ning is willing to keep them, he just needs to hold his hand high and let the past go, and they will go along with it.However, Guo Ning was not lenient. Instead, he continued to put pressure on these small forces and even the local gentry and gentry who were associated with them under various pretexts. Once they tried to resist, they would immediately send troops to crush them.

This kind of action is ten times more ruthless than the rebels, but Ding Haijun wears the hat of the imperial court, Guo Ning is still a serious Xuanfu envoy, even if he kills, he kills with confidence, for the sake of peace.

In a short period of ten months, the Ding Navy divided its troops into several groups to attack back and forth.And Monk Luo, who stayed behind in the three states of Denglai, also mobilized troops to cooperate with the town defense army under Jing'anmin to clean up villages and communities, and remove those who tried to get in the way between the military government and the grassroots.

At the beginning of October, Guo Ning returned to Laizhou with his troops and horses.

On the way, Xu Wei got a summary document, and he was accompanying Guo Ning, so he immediately opened the document and reported it directly.

"After Jinan Prefecture and Bozhou and other places, the dissatisfied people in Dizhou and Binzhou have all been designated as rebels, and the suppression has been completed. According to the previous order, all those who gathered more than 66 soldiers were beheaded. A total of [-] people were beheaded. Seven counties hung their heads to show the public. The family wealth they owned has been filled into the military government; more than [-] hectares of floating surplus land can be allocated to military households."
