choke element

Since the first year of Zhenyou, there has been insufficient rain from the Central Plains to Shandong, and this year has been the third consecutive year.However, the political officials in the Shandong area are capable. Since last year, the water conservancy agency under the Secretary of State has been paying attention to opening canals to store water for irrigation.During the spring plowing this year, although many children from military households gathered to send troops or practice, the farming work in various places was not abandoned.

The ruling center of the Dinghai Navy is Yidu, and the longest operating site is Laizhou, and then goes north to Binzhou, south to Juzhou, and west to Mount Tai. Such a large area has now been incorporated into Dinghai's military household system.

Last year, when Guo Ning unified Shandong East Road, he promised that the military households and shady households under the control of the Dinghai Navy would each grant [-] mu of land. Now the land belonging to the military households is generally awarded, and the shady households are slow to get the land. Some, but at least there is hope.

In this territory, although the officials sent by the Dajin court are still there, they have been emptied out of shape.Of course, it is not their turn to intervene in local military and political affairs. After the establishment of the Shandong Xuanfu Commissioner, most of the officials received temporary dispatches from the Xuanfu Commissioner, and assumed the title of experience officer. .

There are also some officials who are dissatisfied with this, and there are quite a few.But since the second half of last year, there have been rumors that a certain master resigned from office, went out on a boat, and then never heard from him again.

Such news has been spread more than a dozen times in a row, and the other officials are not fools, so why don't they understand?At present, the level of cooperation has been significantly improved. Even if you see the numerous military and political measures issued by the Dinghai Navy, none of which conform to the rules of the court, you can only treat yourself as blind and deaf.

Since the beginning of this year, the original courier shops along the official road on Shandong East Road have all been cancelled, and all staff have been merged into the post station system of the recording department.

There are so many military prefectures on Shandong East Road, and there is no trace of the existence of the Dajin court anymore, and the soldiers and civilians in Shandong are also used to looking at the official roads from time to time to see if there are any envoys from the navy who have brought them from afar. News from loved ones.

In the morning of this day, suddenly a cavalry team galloped rapidly on the official road, and the smoke and dust aroused were billowing, which could be seen from a long distance.In the farmland beside the road, many farm workers hurriedly stepped over the trees and weeds beside the road, and stood on the roadbed to look out.

Those with sharp eyes had already seen the triangular flags carried on the backs of the cavalry, and immediately shouted: "That's the envoy's congregation! It's the envoy who came back from Hebei!"

In the past two months, the Ding Navy has carried out a large-scale mobilization, a considerable part of which has already been dispatched, and the rest of the ministries are on the highest level of war preparations, and the common people are watching.

They didn't have any idea about Ding Hai's ambitions. They only knew that it was because the Mongolian army had gone south again and fought in Zhongdu Road.If the Mongolian army is allowed to win on Zhongdu Road, the unlucky ones will be Hebei Road, and then Shandong Road.All the hard-working land will be trampled by war horses, and the accumulated food will be eaten or burned. Anyone who encounters the Mongolian army will be slaughtered mercilessly, and women will suffer terrible insults.

In this terrible world, countless villains surround Dinghailing's territory, relying on Dinghailing's Guo Xuan envoy to lead the soldiers to defeat them time and time again!

What will happen this time?Can the envoy win?Can our soldiers win?
Hearing that an envoy from the north was rushing back, the people quickened their pace one after another.The old man couldn't move his legs, so he called out repeatedly: "What did they say? How did they say it?"

This team of cavalry was indeed Guo Ning's followers. They galloped all the way, traveling hundreds of miles a day, reporting to the soldiers and civilians along the way, their mouths were parched and their lips were cracked.But seeing the people gathered, they still proudly shouted:
"Great victory, great victory, the envoy entered Zhongdu and repelled the Mongolian army!"

On both sides of the official road, the children of military households who heard the news cheered first, and then other common people also started to shout.

It has been two years since Ding Haijun settled down in Shandong.Before the arrival of Ding Haijun, Shandong was falling into an irreversible decline, and the people were struggling to live, so that there were some who sold their sons and daughters.As for the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood caused by the Mongolian army's invasion, this process was exacerbated.After establishing a foothold in the Navy, the people were allocated land, restored law and order, provided culture and education, and developed mining and handicraft industries.Although all this has just begun, the soldiers and civilians all feel that they have lived a life that they dare not even dream of.

And the young and middle-aged people under Ding Haijun's rule are constantly being included in this huge system.They were either signed into the army and garrisoned outside; or they went to work in mines and various workshops during the slack season; or they gathered at regular intervals to repair roads, open ditches, build embankments, and build cities according to the orders of the Ding Navy... Dinghai has a lot of money, and the common people are paid for doing these things!
If you still feel that it is not enough, there are still bold and greedy people who simply go to various ports to apply for recruitment and go to sea with the fleet.

With the prosperity of the Dinghai regime, the scope of interests of this regime has continued to expand, and more and more people have been included, and more and more families have been associated.

The future of these families is almost bound to the future of Ding Haijun, and most of them have witnessed the brutality of the Mongols, so the feeling of hatred against the enemy has been high.Members of military households, in particular, hope that their sons or husbands will be rewarded for their meritorious service, but also worry about their safety. Many of them haven't had a good night's sleep for a month.

Hearing the messenger's shout at this moment, everyone's cheers were loud.The people in another settlement at the back of the official road also heard it, so the envoy rode horses for dozens of miles, and there were dark crowds on both sides of the road, so they had to let them keep reporting.

It is not suitable for the military newspaper to read slowly here before it is delivered to the Dinghailing Center, and the envoys dare not slow down.

Despite the enthusiastic urging of the people, they could only repeat a few brief sentences: "The envoy fought a battle first and killed many Mongols! He fought another battle and killed many Mongols! The Tartar Khan only To avoid it! Then the envoy entered Zhongdu City! In short, a big victory! A big victory! The Mongols have escaped, and no one can defeat our Ding navy! Make way, make way, don't block the road!"

Speaking of this, an emissary suddenly noticed that a little farther away from the road, a girl with an oval face was cautiously watching.Coincidentally, the emissary, who followed Guo Ning and often traveled around, happened to recognize this girl, so he smiled and said, "Isn't that the young lady of the Wu family who raises horses in Guanqiao Town? Will!"

The girl's face turned red in an instant, and many dolls were laughing and laughing around her, which made her feel shy and disturbed, and for some reason, she burst into tears.

Like a relay, the cheers quickly spread to Yidu Mansion and then to the residence of Shandong Xuanfu Envoy.When the envoy read the entire victory document word by word, there was a loud bang in the official office.

The first to laugh were the children of many sacrificed soldiers who were raised by Guo Ning at home. These half-children jumped up and waved their fists first, followed by the guards and followers.The officials who gathered in the government office in advance kept a reserved attitude as much as possible.

Jing Anmin couldn't help pointing his fingers, and murmured, "There are so many casualties, how much compensation is needed? I wonder if Jin Qing can figure out a way to pick out some of them!"

Xu Yu smiled and shook his head again: "This Guo Liulang, what he said about building high walls and accumulating food widely, he is the one who does big things every time!"

Li Ting took two steps back and forth in the hall, and said to Guo Zhongyuan, "This opportunity must not be missed. We must send troops to Hebei immediately, and take down the six prefectures along the Caohe River first! There are [-] regular troops gathered in Yidu Mansion, and they will follow me tomorrow." Let's go! You are responsible for staying behind!"

Both Guo Ning and Monk Luo went north, and the person in charge of Shandong military affairs was actually Li Ting.Since he said that, neither Jing Anmin nor Yin Chang would object.

Guo Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment: "Transfer them all away? I'm afraid something will happen to Yang An'er's remnants and King Sui in Henan."

"They dare!" Li Ting stared.

Guo Zhongyuan patted his forehead.Guo Xuanshi not only defeated the Mongols, but also took control of Zhongdu, in fact sweeping away the entire Zhongdu Road.He can almost be regarded as Cao Cao, Gao Huan, and Yu Wentai of the Great Jin Kingdom, and the rapid expansion of power is just around the corner.Then the situation around the Ding Naval regime is quite different from before!
Liang Chisheng, the head of the experience department, took the military report from the envoy and read it twice.This military newspaper is to be posted, so the text is often written in idioms; but because Guo Ning himself does not read much, he always requires that the correspondence documents be easy to understand, so the writing is not esoteric.Liang Chisheng recited a few lines in a soft voice: "Ning is not talented. He has served the people for two years, and he has won the hearts of the people; he has a hundred thousand soldiers, and he has no defeat."

Good literary talent, so domineering.I don't know if it was the handwriting of Chu Cai, or Du Shisheng; or, many literati in the capital city took refuge in time?The implication in this text is not just to praise a battle. I, Liang, are really lucky to catch up with such a time!
Thinking of this, Liang Chisheng wished he could fly to Zhongdu and serve as a counselor by Guo Ning's side.

At the same time, people from countless settlements around Yidu have rushed home one after another. Some people have used their accumulated money to buy wine. In the city, a troupe of zaju was invited to perform, especially the few dramas in which Guo Xuan envoy defeated the Mongolian army.

Since last year, everyone's life has been not bad, not only starving to death, but also gradually having some spare money on hand.Now that envoy Guo Xuan and the soldiers had won a big victory outside, everyone was itchy and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fuss and have some fun.

Such a situation is rare in the Shandong area. When Dajin won the battle, the common people just knew it, and there was no way to celebrate it.Later, Yang An'er rebelled because everyone couldn't survive, everyone naturally turned to them more in their hearts, but after several years of fighting, life will only become more bitter, and gradually people will become indifferent.

But now, the military households and shady households who are in the core area of ​​Dinghai and are the core of Dinghai's rule do not hesitate to regard Dinghai's victory as everyone's happy event.This may be thanks to the education brought about by the Mongols' burning, killing and looting, and it also proves that the phrase "helping the people for two years and winning the hearts of the people" in the military newspaper is really not a bragging.

"Ning is not talented, he has served the people for two years, and he has won the hearts of the people; he has a hundred thousand soldiers, and he has no defeat." Two sentences are written by the reader "Quantum Mechanics".Sure enough, indecision, quantum mechanics, admire, admire.
