Chapter 453 Customization

That night, Yin Chang held a banquet in the Jinan military camp and had a drink with Guo Ning.

The next day when Guo Ning returned, Yin Chang said again: "Sizheng is still young and cannot be separated from his mother. After he grows up a little, he will be sent to the envoy. I heard that the envoy set up a preface in the three prefectures of Denglai. There are many warriors who can be taught by Xuanshi, so the military academy produces a large number of talents. If Sizheng has this blessing, it will be the best."

Guo Ning responded with a smile.

Immediately, he left Jinan Prefecture, along the foot of Mount Tai, passed through Zizhou and Yidu, and transferred to Laizhou. Garrison barracks located in various places.

A group of people rode lightly on fast horses without flags, so every time they passed a few post stations or passed a certain military camp, they would encounter a sentry post.

Some are fixed sentry posts, there are also specially set up secret posts, and there are also wandering posts that ride early and act as a surrounding posture.No matter what kind of sentry, they are very serious when checking their identities, especially when they are close to the important military pass, they are even more heavily guarded, even Xu Yu didn't find anything wrong.

This orderly attitude is not only because Guo Ning has always been strict with the army, and rewards and punishments; it is not only because these states are close to Mount Tai, and they bear the responsibility of facing the important branch of the Red Coat Army, Liu Erzu, Peng Yibin and other ministries.

More importantly, the expansion of a regime will naturally create a large number of beneficiaries, and the beneficiaries will naturally bind their high-spirited mentality to the regime.The later poems say "you don't need to raise your whip to raise your hooves", which is probably the case.

There are two reasons why Guo Ning wants to inspect this area as soon as possible.

First, these places are important strongholds for recruiting troops and relocating people.

Guo Ning pretended to be stupid in front of Yin Chang that day, but in fact, Dinghai had been doing this for a long time to recruit troops and relocate people.

Because the previous control area was confined to the three prefectures of Denglai, facing the vast control area of ​​the Red Coat Army, it is inevitable that there are some scruples in recruiting exiles. Therefore, the main source of population in recent months is actually the Khitan people in the Liaodong area, the Bohai People or wild Jurchen or something.Putting these people in Liaodong, they are all Heshi Liehuanduan's confidants' serious troubles, so it's better to drive them to Shandong as much as possible, out of sight and out of mind.

After late autumn, Liaodong was covered with heavy snow and the cold wind was howling, making it difficult for women and children to survive. Most of the refugees who came here were young and young, and few had families.In more than a month, there were four to five thousand middle-aged men who came by boat from Gaizhou, and many of them could draw bows and ride horses. At least half of them could be directly filled into the army.

But there are too many foreign races, which will inevitably cause subsequent troubles, not to mention that most of these foreign races are not good at farming, thousands of strong men are thousands of mouths, and there are still people to support them.

In the final analysis, it is always the refugees of Han'er who are more reassuring, and the source of the refugees of Han'er is far more than just Dongping Mansion.

The line of Zizhou and Yidu can attract people from the villages of Mount Tai and Yanzhou, and the line of Juzhou and Yizhou can attract the people of Mizhou and Pizhou.The Red Coat Army could barely maintain the livelihood of the people. After Yang An'er's death, the various ministries were in chaos.

The Ding Navy gained a larger territory, so it can naturally carry more people. At this time, it can make full use of the benefits of expansion, and further enhance the war potential of the Ding Navy.

Of course, this is inseparable from the arrangement, registration, control, and appeasement of the household registration of the existing population.Guo Ning is very relieved that Chucai is here.

The second reason is that with the expansion of the territory, Guo Ning's own residence also needs to be changed.The size and geographical location of Laizhou city determine that it is a very good agricultural and production base, but to control Shandong East Road based on this, there are sighs at both ends.

At present, there is only one suitable location, and that is Yidu.Guo Ning and his staff have already discussed this several times, and now they will conduct a survey in person, and they will really know it in their hearts.

At this time, he reined in his horse and stood on the avenue north of Yidu City, looking left and right.But you can see the sky is high and wide, the mountains are stacked, the Zishui, Qushui and Yangshui are like waves, and the city is like iron, covering the field.

"Please look, envoy, we are at the position between Dongyang City and Nanyang City in Yidu, on the Yangshui River. The banks of this section of the river are built with huge stones, and then dozens of giant trees are interspersed to connect them. It is a flying bridge, nicknamed Nanyang Bridge, and because of its posture of flying arches across water, it has a separate name, called Hongqiao."

Facing the sun, Guo Ning urged his horse to set foot on Hongqiao.

Yila Chucai, who was explaining, immediately followed.

He had just reported on the appeasement process of the soldiers and civilians in Yidu Mansion and the inventory of the treasury materials, and took Guo Ning to see the newly built government offices and barracks. At this time, he explained casually, still dissecting:
"This road across Hongqiao is a section of the [-]-mile official road built by the Song people in the Southern Dynasty on Jingdong Road. It is also the end point of the extension from Zhongdu to the south after Emperor Zhangzong set up a post office in Taihe. From here, there are more than two roads leading to Binzhou Prefecture in the north, Jinan in the west, Denglai in the east, and Jumi in the south.

Guo Ning nodded, and then looked at the road extending to the end of the line of sight, and felt that the trees on both sides of the road were lined up, like a famous soldier standing proudly, making people feel heroic, as if swallowing thousands of miles, just in front of him at this time.

"That's settled, no further discussion."

Guo Ning patted the saddle bridge with his horsewhip: "Shandong Xuanfu envoy is located in Yidu, and the relevant government offices and military commanders will be moved immediately. The order will be sent down. The soldiers, government offices, food and supplies will be in place within ten days without delay. "

It has been more than a year since the Ding Navy stationed in Laizhou. Countless people have built a huge foundation, and it is a huge project to relocate.But Yicha Chucai showed no embarrassment, bowed and said, "Ten days is enough."

From the next day, officials of all sizes from the Department of Administrative Affairs and the Department of Records of the Navy, as well as the officials of various supervisors, bureaus, departments, and institutes directly under the Second Department will go first, and the family members of thousands of people will set off on the same day.Immediately, the scholars and warriors in the civil and military schools followed suit one after another.

After they arrived in Yidu, Zhang Lin personally arranged the division of government offices, occupation of yamen, and distribution of residences for officials according to their functions and needs.

As for the deployment of the army and the adjustment of the garrison, that is needless to say.Although the delineation of the marching route and the supply of food and fodder along the way are cumbersome, everyone in the military mansion is proficient, and Jing Anmin is also responsible for the whole process, and everything is handled immediately.

On the eighth day, Guo Ning's relatives, neighbors, guards, and others all arrived, and they officially settled in the large-scale Shandong Commander's Mansion in Yidu Prefecture on that day.The mansion has a radius of more than two miles and occupies a large area. In the front yard, there are various halls layered on top of each other, which are used for official offices.

On the day the mansion was opened, Guo Ning hosted a banquet in the backyard and sent people to invite the close civil and military officials.

Among his important officials, Han Xuan is now in Liaodong, Yin Changxin is stationed in Jinan, and most of the rest from Jing'an Min and Luo Monk are here.A while ago, Li Ting thwarted a rebellion plot in Mizhou and killed more than [-] people in one go. Now he just galloped back and reported the military situation.

It is rare for everyone to gather together, and they are all in high spirits.
