choke element

Chapter 283

A group of people entered the city and went straight to Li Ting's mansion.

The parents of the two brothers died early, but they have never separated and have always lived together.Therefore, Li Ting was not yet married and Li Yun first found a beautiful woman, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

Li Ting didn't mind it too much, but Aunt Hua was always worried in her heart.

Fortunately, Li Ting is getting married in the next two days.

While Li Yun and Li Ting were talking, congratulators kept coming to visit in advance.Those are rough warriors, what kind of good things can they say about good prayers?All of them made some messy jokes.

Li Ting has a bad temper. In the past, if someone teased him, he would immediately hit him with a big stick, but now his face was flushed and he just laughed.

Li Yun chatted with his elder brother for a while, only then did he realize that there are quite a few soldiers in Dinghai getting married these days.

Those weather-beaten old soldiers originally had nothing, and they were exiled one by one. Except for the knives in their hands, they had no clothes and no food to eat; but now they have a place to stay, fields, farm tools, cattle, They all give priority to rationing, and all of them shelter the households, at least as the head of the security and the head of the neighborhood.

This situation is quite enviable in the eyes of refugees gathered from all over Shandong.

A few days ago, the people of Jing'an freed up a group of civilians. When it was cold and cold, they could not travel far, so they simply let them go back to their hometowns and build houses for the meritorious soldiers.

The peasants worked for the local military households, and they got to know each other very quickly.

When the first batch of shady households were assigned earlier, Guo Ning gave repeated orders not to bully the people. During this period, several soldiers who behaved particularly badly were beheaded.Therefore, there are very few conflicts between the military and the civilians.

And after the victory of the soldiers of the Ding Navy, almost everyone has some rewards in their hands.At this time, there was no place to spend the money, so a lot of money was given to the folks who helped build the house, and the money was generally generous.

As a result, many ordinary people with daughters of the right age were moved, and those soldiers who came to Shandong alone also went along with the flow and were willing to start a family.

Someone told Guo Ning that when the soldiers got married one by one, they might have gone through the gentle village and got used to the warmth of their wives and children.Guo Ning scoffed at the idea.

Guo Ning himself is a warrior who has struggled from the bottom, and he knows that in this era, most people do not have such a strong concept of nationality.Even if Guo Ning opened a military academy by himself, he has to proceed step by step if he wants to explain this issue clearly.

Therefore, the benefits of "family and country" are here. To protect the family is to protect the country, and to protect the family is to protect everything.Guo Ning gave the soldiers a home in Shandong, so it doesn't matter that the soldiers haven't thought about many things for the time being.Anyone who wants to destroy our beautiful life can just hit him.

Soldiers who are bonded will know why to fight, and the fighting spirit born from this will only be stronger than when they fled in embarrassment and tried to survive.

Because of Guo Ning's attitude, more soldiers got married.According to the statistics of the military government, in the first ten days of the year, there were more than 20 military and civilian marriages in Ye County, and there were even more in the surrounding counties and towns.

Of course, if there is a trend, there must be some negative effects.For example, some of the officers and soldiers who brought their families were forced to take concubines, and there were some jealousy among several officers.

Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of the Dinghai Navy is good, and small flaws do not hinder the overall situation.

In these days, there are theater-based dramas in the local area, and the theory of stars is popular. The soldiers may not all believe it, but at least they all know that Jieshuai's ambition is far from the one-acre land in Deng, Lai, and Ninghai.Next, our own military and political groups will have to climb again, and there is still a long way to go.

Not to mention, Jie Shuai's self-proclaimed is so simple, in order to motivate the soldiers to achieve this level...

In the next few days, Jie Shuai is also going to get married.But even when he got married, he kept a low profile.I heard that he also solemnly proposed before that he wanted to combine his wedding with the meritorious soldiers, so he even invented a name for this, calling it "collective wedding"!
The meaning of Jie Shuai is clear, he intends to set a clear example himself, the generals will use their brains a little, and they will not dare to mess around in this regard.

But even for the sake of the morale of the army, why do you have to do this?This idea is a bit shocking.What's more, the wedding was too casual, and it was even more unsightly, making outsiders underestimate the power of the Ding Navy.

At the moment, the group tried to persuade Guo Ning to give up this idea resentfully.

"Do you think so?" Li Ting shook his head repeatedly when he said this: "Guo Liulang is good at everything, but there are some small families who can't change their ways. If we didn't stop this time, hey, the entire Dinghai Navy would be punished." People are being used as a laughing stock!"

Li Yun has held power in Zhigu Village for several months, and his temperament has matured a lot after being tempered.He didn't say a word to echo his brother, but casually changed the topic to other places, and helped with a few chores.

After a while, he went to Jieshuai's mansion, and Aunt Hua followed him.

Li Yun hadn't seen Guo Ning for a long time, and there was a lot of information from Zhongdu that needed to be confessed face to face, and Aunt Hua got along well with Lu Han when she was in Zhigu Village, so she just took this opportunity to continue handing over handkerchiefs.

Guo Ning's Jieshuai Mansion has a large scale outside, the main hall and the meeting hall can accommodate tens of hundreds of people to discuss, but the weather is really cold these days, and the place near the sea is very windy.The main hall and the conference hall are too big, and there are too many doors and windows. The cold wind always blows through the window paper and pours in along the gaps between the window lattices, like little cold snakes crawling in. does not work.

So Guo Ning simply asked the staff to go back to their houses, and he retreated to the house where he lived.

Li Yun followed Jue Cong who led the way to the backyard, and saw that there were not many houses and the furnishings were simple.

There is a martial arts field with eighteen kinds of weapons arranged; there is also a stable with several strong horses.Other than that, the only conspicuous thing is the row of red lanterns hanging on the corridor, presumably for the preparation of the wedding, a young man carrying several lanterns in his hand, slowly hanging the second row on the beam, occasionally Talk to each other beamingly and laugh a few times.

These days in Zhigu Village, the business agents of officials and officials that Li Yun came into contact with are actually no more than domestic slaves, who can live in large courtyards and deep houses, magnificent, and full of jewels. out of place.

There are two courtyards, Guo Ning lives in the front one, and Lu Han lives in the back one.

Aunt Hua brought a special package, which was a gift for Lu Han, and a maid took Aunt Hua to the back.And Li Yun stood in the courtyard of the previous one to sign up.There are several guards on duty here, Li Yun only knows Ni Yi, and there are a few strangers, who should be recruited by new recruits.Ni Yi smiled at Li Yun, and passed the message into the room.

Then Guo Ning raised his voice and shouted: "It's cold outside, come in quickly!"

Li Yun opened the door and went in, and saw Guo Ning wearing a leather robe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, reviewing documents from a local, frowning from time to time thinking, and pulling his short mustache.

Seeing Li Yun coming in, Guo Ning raised his eyes and stared for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've become more calm, unlike your brother who always jumps up and down."

Guo Ning and Li Ting had saved each other's lives on the battlefield, so there was no need to make a fuss about them talking to each other.

Li Yun only smiled and bowed.

Guo Ning asked again: "Is there any obstacle for the fleet to go north? Didn't it attract the attention of outsiders?"

"Don't worry, Jieshuai. Over there in Zhongdu, we only know that we are still receiving merchants from Zhigu Village. That's something that has been arranged. Occasionally, there are a few spies who are always paying attention. What they can and can't know, all of them It's within our grasp."

"After the matter is completed, can the fleet and manpower be withdrawn in time?"

"We have very experienced boatmen and concluded that the sea is completely frozen and it will take ten days. This is enough for us to escape."

"it is good."

Li Yun looked up at Guo Ning, hesitant to speak.

Guo Ning wrote two lines on a dossier, stamped it, put it in the processed pile, and looked up at Li Yun's expression: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Li Yun hesitated for a while.

Guo Ning pulled a new file: "What are you worried about? If you have an idea, just say it, and I'll listen."

"Firstly, there is an undercurrent raging inside the central capital, and the Mongolian army is watching outside, and our base is thousands of miles away. I'm afraid it's not worth the effort to rush back and marry someone else. Second, the Quanzhen sect If China’s power expands through this, I’m worried that it will end sooner or later in Shandong.”

Guo Ning was stunned for a moment, put down his pen and looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun held his breath and concentrated.

After a long while, Guo Ning laughed: "Mr. Jinzhi often praised you in his letters. Now it seems that you have really grown up. It is a good thing to think of these things. However, the planning of the whole thing is not so It's simple... just relax!"

Guo Ning stood up and lifted the copper pot: "Come, have a sip of hot tea."

"Thank you, Shuai Jie." Li Yun got up respectfully, and took the teacup with both hands.
