choke element

Yan Chenghui thought about it for a long time.

So that Guo Ning was obviously a little impatient.

Guo Ning has always been rebellious, and he is also used to using force to suppress chaos and oppress people with power.Since he controls Zhongdu, the forces in Zhongdu originally had no choice but to submit and have no right to bargain.The reason why he went out of the city to meet Yan Chenghui was because many military and political arrangements had already been made. He was too lazy to play riddles with the Jurchens, so he simply met the last powerful faction of the Jurchens in Zhongdu. It still doesn't work, whether you want to die or live, it's just a matter of a few words.

Therefore, these Jurchen nobles in the city can send people out to inquire.If Guo Ning really didn't want to see this batch of goods, half of these people would meet bandits, and all of them were decapitated. How could they run to this restaurant and show their faces in front of Guo Ning?
Seeing that Yan Chenghui was thinking all the time, he frowned in dissatisfaction, and cast a wink at Yila Chucai.Then he got up and stood by the window, looking at the raging canal.

And Yicha Chucai cupped his hands slightly, using the gesture of a junior, to urge Wanyan Chenghui.

In terms of the attitude of the Dajin court, Guo Ning and Yira Chucai are different.Guo Ning always felt that under the splendor and splendor, the rancid smell was abnormal, and there were chickens and dogs all over the top and bottom, so even if it was swept away, it would be no pity.And Yila Chucai is a descendant of generations of officials and Confucian scholars. He hopes to maintain the existence of the system as much as possible, and extract all available people from it as much as possible for his own use.

In the eyes of Yila Chucai, Wanyan Chenghui was a talent available in the Dajin court, and also a middleman between the Jurchens and the Dinghai regime.

When the Mongolian army blocked the Lushui passage, the scale of the battle in Tongzhou on the north side was no less than that around Zhigu Village.The Bohai Navy that attacked Tongzhou was itself an elite of the Dajin Kingdom on Linhuangfu Road and Beijing Road. After surrendering to Mongolia, they were not only motivated by plunder, but also feared the brutal Mongolian military law, and their combat performance was extremely fierce.

Because of the flat terrain around Tongzhou, the Bohai Navy used it as the main manufacture and use direction of siege equipment. They filled the moat with soil on carts, hit the city wall with rams, and cast huge stones with catapults. All the officers, including the husband, shot arrows at the stones, and the schoolmaster held a long knife to supervise the battle, and when he saw that he did not try his best, he would beheaded immediately.

At the most intense time, Tongluting and Luhe Shuimayi, the last two strongholds outside Tongzhou City, were captured by the Bohai Navy, and the two sides continued to fight hard day and night.The attackers drove the women and children outside the city to fill the river with cloth bags filled with soil, and Wanyan Chenghui personally commanded the crossbowmen to shoot these people to death on the way.Above and below the city, there was a continuous cry of crying.

When the Bohai people attacked the city from several directions at the same time, Wanyan Chenghui sent all the soldiers who had followed him for many years to stop the enemy. servant.He also told the two servants that if there was any discrepancy, I should kill myself. If I failed, you must behead me first, so as not to fall into the hands of the Mongols and be humiliated.The short knife that he planned to use to commit suicide at that time is still hanging on his waist belt.

Three years ago when Chu Cai was in Zhongdu and followed Tu Shanyi, he had met Wan Yan Chenghui.Compared with three years ago, Wanyan Chenghui has obviously aged a lot. He used to be tall and strong, with white hair but a straight back, and his voice was loud and full of energy. Now, he is as thin as a bamboo pole, with a smudge on his face. The wrinkles are also as deep as a knife and an axe.

Such a person is not weak, nor will he be forced by prosperity and wealth to do things against his wishes.He is already 66 years old. He is a half body buried in the earth. He has seen the rule of Emperor Sejong in his early years and watched the country collapse in the hands of the next three emperors. Could it be that what he fancy is just the official price given by a man? ?

Wanyan Chenghui said slowly: "Mr. Jinqing, I only have one question..."

What Wanyan Chenghui was worried about was that Guo Ning would continue to purge the imperial power in Zhongdu, which would cause another chaos, involving all the Jurchens.So he wanted to ask, who would appoint his deputy left marshal.Is it the emperor who lives in Shengwang Mansion now?Or is it about to be promoted by Guo Ning, a certain son of the emperor?Or even Guo Ning himself, who completely pushed aside the court system?
"It's the emperor."

Yila Chucai has already given the answer to his question.

"In the past few days, the palace has been cleaned up. As long as the court officials don't make any extra troubles, we will naturally invite the emperor to sit back on his throne. When I saw the emperor a few days ago, I thought he looked bad, like I was frightened. From now on, since my family's envoys are in charge of military and political affairs, the emperor can take care of his health and take care of himself. Of course, when it is time to make an order, he should hurry up, or give our envoy full power, and don't delay what we have at hand. If you, my lord, or someone in the court cares about the emperor and is willing to play chess and go fishing with him, that's fine too."

Yica Chucai smiled sweetly, while Wanyan Chenghui smiled wryly, he also let go of his heart.In any case, the emperor's life was saved, and the Jurchens in Zhongdu could continue to live as long as they didn't seek death.

"It's so good." He got up from the table and saluted solemnly: "The last general, Yan Chenghui, pays his respects to Marshal Du."

When Wan Yan Chenghui saluted, the many Jurchen spies behind him knew that the two parties had reached an agreement, and they all bowed down one after another.Some people's brains suddenly became dizzy, and because they were wearing casual clothes, they actually used the Jurchens' salute of shaking hands and elbows, and they were immediately ordered to change by others in a low voice.

At the end of the day, Yan Chenghui followed Guo Ning back to the central capital. Once his figure appeared, many places that had had vague hostility towards Dinghai now disappeared without a trace, and many government offices in the city suddenly appeared. Everyone is working, and everyone is very positive.

A few days later, the emperor returned to the palace under the escort of the two brothers Wanyan Xilie and Monk Chen. On the same day, he summoned the Hanlin scholars and issued two decrees, which were announced to Zhongdu:
With a decree, Guo Ning, the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong Province and the Jiedu envoy of the Dinghai Navy, bowed to the armor to establish the country's great achievements, and promoted Guo Ning to be Minister Zuo Prime Minister, Marshal Du, and Kaifu Yitong three divisions.

The other way is to blame oneself for floods, droughts, military disasters, etc., and declare that all major military affairs will be entrusted to Guo Ning.

With these two wills, Guo Ning integrated Zhongdu and Hebei, and suddenly accelerated.

Guo Ning thinks it's better to let go of things like making a wish for an official.The most critical thing that needs to be integrated first is of course the army.

In order not to arouse the doubts of the generals who were loyal to him, Guo Ning did not move the Beijing Lufu army who surrendered after the war, and the old Zhongdu army recruited by the second general Zhang Roumiao Daorun when the Zhongdu was captured.Generals including Shi Tianying, Yeluke Zubaer, and Li Shouzheng still commanded the old ministry, and according to Guo Ning's prior arrangements, they were stationed in various important places around the central capital.

This situation will not last forever, and the necessary control and integration will start sooner or later.In the past few days, Zhao Jue, the leader of Guo Ning's personal guards, has recovered from his injuries on the battlefield. Guo Ning first divided half of his own personal guards into officers, and then recruited nearly [-] elite soldiers from Zhongdu Road and Beijing Road. People, set up a new army, handed over to Zhao Jue command.

The area controlled by this army ranges from Jinshan in the north of Zhongdu to the local area of ​​Zhongdu.Zhao Jue's new position is to be the Jiedu Envoy of the Wuding Army and the Chief of the Military and Horse Capital of the Daxing Mansion.

His task is very heavy, internally to monitor the emperor, externally to control many fortresses in the north of the central capital, to ensure the safety of the central capital Daxing Mansion.So in addition to the general manager, Guo Ning sent two lieutenants to assist.The two are Zhang Xin and Shi Tianni respectively.

Zhang Xin took refuge in Guo Ning very early, and he is also talented; but because he listened to Zhang Rou's bewitching earlier and planned to mix sand into Guo Ning's Feijunhe camp, he did not come with pure intentions, so he never became Guo Ning's real direct descendant.But after this battle in Zhongdu, he was serious about his life and made military achievements. Besides, Zhang Rou himself became Guo Ning's subordinate, and some things were not easy to care about in detail, so he was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jiedu. The marching control was raised by two levels, which made him smile happily.

As for Shi Tianni, Wan Hu was originally a soldier under Mu Huali's account.His family is in the southern states of Zhongdu Road. It is said that there are more than [-] Qingyue clubs, each of which has a thousand strong men. Shi Tianni uses ten thousand strong and brave men as volunteers, and his elder brother Shi Tianxiang as the vanguard, and his fighting power is very strong.

A character like him, whose own strength is no less than that of a Jiedushi like Zhao Jue, yet he is used as Zhao Jue's deputy, many people don't understand why.In fact, this is what Shi Tianni himself requested.

He personally told Guo Ning that his younger brother Shi Tianze had said that the Qingyue Army was only an army to protect the village, and that following Marshal Guo, he could see the army conquering the north and conquering the world.So not only himself, but Shi Tianxiang also joined the Wuding army. As for the original Qingyue army, it can be divided and arranged by Guo Xuan envoy.

Guo Ning laughed out loud when he heard this, and let Shi Tianze live in his own mansion, where he practiced literature and martial arts with many teenagers.
