Chapter 456 Competition

Perhaps thanks to the huge threat of the Mongols, even if they controlled a vast territory, most of the officers and men of the Ding Navy felt that a strong enemy was on their side and their foundation was established, and no one was particularly indulgent at the banquet.

Guo Ning himself is not good at extravagance. He maintains the simple and capable style of the army in his daily food, clothing and housing. Tonight's banquet is just ordinary wine and meat.He himself is not that good at drinking, claiming that he drank too much with Yin Chang a few days ago, so everyone drank a few glasses, and everyone was happy when they realized the meaning.

On the contrary, in the barracks, it was much more lively.

After the military government won the battle, the soldiers and horses did not get a rest immediately, because the territory expanded, and then the army was mobilized, the station was changed, the establishment was reorganized, and so on.The soldiers cheered up and were busy until now, the military government rewarded wine, meat and money, and everyone took this opportunity to relax and have a good time.

Among Guo Ning's six general managers, Monk Luo and Guo Zhongyuan were scheduled to lead troops to stay in Yidu Mansion.Monk Luo's troops were stationed in Nanyang City, while Guo Zhongyuan's subordinates occupied half of the camp in Dongyang City, north of Yangshui.

Dongyang City was originally a military fortress, and many camp facilities are permanent, but they have been in disrepair for a long time.In addition to the huge camp, there are also many facilities such as school yards and stables.

The school yard was built by Wanyan Sala that day, and it can accommodate 3 to [-] people, especially the spacious one.Therefore, when Guo Zhongyuan arranged the wine and food, he added an additional activity of shooting and stabbing immediately to add to the fun.

Unexpectedly, the surrounding walls of the school grounds collapsed in several hidden places.So when the archery competition started, a group of local merchants and common people from Yidu came in.

Vendors wandered the lined aisles between the tribes, selling snacks to the newly rewarded and well-off soldiers.This move is actually not in line with the strict military regulations, but everyone is excited right now, and the military government has repeatedly reiterated that the newly acquired vast territory must be gentle, so the officers opened their eyes and closed their eyes, allowing the traders to make a small fortune.

The common people were a little shy at first, but later elected a leader and appealed to Guo Zhongyuan.

Guo Zhongyuan found out after asking, what they meant was that there was a piece of newly opened land in the corner of the school grounds, where the common people planted some wild garlic and potatoes at the beginning of the year, could you ask the military men not to trample on it.

Guo Zhongyuan sent people to see it, only to realize that the soldiers gathered there to watch the game had already leveled the land.

The reason is very clear, where can I grow garlic in the important school field?But seeing the frustrated faces of the people, Guo Zhongyuan softened his heart, and simply took out his own purse and gave dozens of big money to expose this matter.

As a result of this move, as the archery and javelin competitions progressed, when one after another extraordinary warriors appeared on the stage to compete, the people began to climb on the walls around the school grounds, watching and shouting.

Yidu Mansion is the capital of Shandong East Road. When the Mongolian army attacked earlier, they only passed by and failed to invade the city to slaughter and loot, so the number of people was quite large.

They stomped on the top of the wall. Guo Zhongyuan was afraid that they would push the wall down and kill his own family. After thinking about it, he simply made an extra space in the school yard and let them come in to watch.

The competition itself was naturally exciting, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted the common people.

Among the thousands of soldiers, there are quite a few who have confidence in their own martial arts. Many officers of the brand and the level of generals were coaxed out by the soldiers of their troops, insisting that they come forward to overwhelm their opponents, ruthlessly He ruthlessly gave his brothers a long face.

If you lose at this time, how can you save your face?Are you going to bring troops in the future?Therefore, once the officers appeared on the field, the competition became more and more intense. There were several consecutive matches, and the difference was only a hair's breadth, making it difficult to tell the winner.

On the other side of the school yard, there is a gang leader's territory.They lit more than a dozen bonfires to roast meat and cook vegetables for the soldiers to enjoy.The soldiers watched the game for a while, and then sent representatives to the gang leader's side to fetch food and share it, all of them were very happy.

The vendors saw that there were many soldiers coming and going here, so they gradually gathered there, set up stalls by the campfire, and sold some snacks such as sugar cakes and jujube cakes.

Some local children ran between the stalls, staring at the cakes at first, and then felt that the broth stewed by the gang leaders was more fragrant.

These days, ordinary people have no chance to get dirty, and the children can't walk anymore.A few children were from better off and more daring, so they smiled and raised their hands, and showed the gang leader one or two small coins that had been saved for a long time.They want to buy a bowl, or have a taste, or take a sip of oil flowers.

However, not everyone was so happy, and Li Quan's subordinates were inevitably a bit dull.

Ding Haijun and Li Quan's troops just fought fiercely in Anding Town, Binzhou not long ago. Li Quan's troops lost troops and lost many generals.As for the more than a thousand elite soldiers in Li Quan's headquarters, there were no casualties, but they had been loyal to Li Quan for many years.

Li Quan committed suicide in front of their eyes. Although they had no choice but to seek refuge with the new master, it was really impossible to say that they had no reservations, or to make a sudden change in their position. This was against human nature.

It is not easy to let these soldiers return to their hearts.

Generals like Zheng Yande and Tian Si are just given a spare position like a staff officer, let them hang out first, and then make arrangements according to the future situation.But for the large number of grassroots soldiers, they should not be left alone, but should be properly dismantled and forced to integrate as soon as possible.

Guo Zhongyuan was very careful about this.

He arranged the positions for the soldiers to watch the competition, all calculated in advance, and consciously mixed the old soldiers and the surrendered soldiers.He came out of the banquet at the Nanyang City Military Mansion by himself, and wandered around the school grounds with a few of his cronies, chatting with the soldiers.

This display of closeness, even if intentional, is better than a cruel boss.As the descendants chatted with Guo Zhongyuan one after another, the initial restraint was slowly let go.

There are only a small number of soldiers who can't adjust their emotions after all, and Yu Mang'er is one of them.

In fact, he has seen a lot of fighting, and he has long known the truth of winning and losing, and he has no hatred for Ding Haijun.Earlier, he heard the officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy talk about the land and treatment that his family received. He even regretted his family's ignorance in the past few years, and was a little envious.

However, if he wanted to show his kindness to the officers of the Dinghai Navy with a straight face like those companions, he really couldn't do it no matter what.He tried several times, but he just couldn't get rid of this face; thinking of the uncontrollable crying that night, he felt very ashamed.

At his age, when his mind couldn't turn a corner, he couldn't vent his displeasure, couldn't get rid of it, and couldn't suppress it.So the other surrendered soldiers gradually brought smiles on their faces, while Yu Mang'er always kept a cold face.

When it was time for the galloping race, Yu Mang'er realized that this was Li Quan's specialty, and became more and more unhappy, so she simply found an excuse and went outside the school grounds.

There were guards at the four gates of the school grounds, but at this moment, because Guo Zhongyuan allowed the common people and merchants to enter, the guards were relaxed.Yu Mang'er strolled out swaggeringly, but no one paid any attention to him.

He walked forward aimlessly, and before he knew it, he lost his way.

Yu Mang'er suddenly stood on his feet and looked around.Inside the military fort, the roads are not horizontal and vertical, but winding for the sake of defense.

The sky was getting dark, and he didn't bring a pine torch, so he felt that the front and back were dark and frightening.

He listened intently again, trying to figure out the direction of the school grounds.There are so many people shouting in the school grounds, the sound is really loud.The trouble is, his house is in the alleyway, the sound echoes back and forth on the high walls of rammed earth on both sides, and falls into his ears, and it is impossible to determine the source at all.

He wanted to climb the high wall, but he was also worried about his family's status as a surrendered soldier. If he did something out of the ordinary, he would be pulled out as a warning to monkeys and severely punished.After hesitating again and again, I had to listen again.

At this moment, he heard a regular clanging sound coming from the road ahead.

what is that?strike iron?Is there a blacksmith's shop there?
　Physics education is a joke!Ever since my kid weighed more than me, I've been a good parent!This kid is thirty kilograms heavier than me now!Can't fight!
