Chapter 617 Marshal

Today, Zhongducheng has increasingly highlighted its military role in facing Mongolia, so Guo Ning chose to put an elite Wuding army as the spearhead against Mongolia, and supervised Zhang Rou, Miao Daorun, Shi Tianying and others on the spot All the soldiers and horses.

However, it is definitely not enough to have a spearhead alone, and the cover of the flanks cannot be lacking.

Soon after, Jinganmin, who was originally serving as the Jiedu Envoy of the Anhua Army in Shandong, was recalled to the north and returned to Zhuozhou, the place where he started his business for many years.

The task of the people of Jing'an is to stabilize Zhuozhou and Yizhou to the west of the central capital, and to rely on the connections and reputation accumulated by their family for decades to restore the relationship with Xiong, Ba, Bao, Sui, An, Ansu and other states in Mibutangluo. control.

This kind of mission was exactly what Jing Anmin wanted, so Guo Ning didn't need to give any more support. He only sent Jing Anmin's two old subordinates, Hao Duan and Ma Bao, as Jiedu deputy envoys.For other things, this group of veterans has a lot of solutions.

After the Battle of the Central Capital, the East and West Routes of Hebei, which were originally in the hands of Pu San Anzhen, immediately fell apart.Taking advantage of Guo Ning's stay in Zhongdu, King Sui of Kaifeng Prefecture took the opportunity to expand his influence. His subordinate Wanyan Heda led his troops north to Ci, Ming and other prefectures, and once stationed in Julu.Guo Ning didn't care about this. After the Central Capital, Dinghai's forces were already swallowing whales. Since they were swallowing whales, there were fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles escaping from their mouths in the south. Could it be possible to prevent sharks from coming to eat a few bites? ?His territory is big enough, and the key to control is what matters.

Where is the key to Hebei?

It is not the abandoned hills and ruins that cannot recover their vitality in ten or twenty years after being swept by the Mongolian army, but the Yuhe River that connects many water systems in the north, directly leads to the Zhanghe River and the Yellow River, and spans both sides of the Yuhe River, with Jingzhou as the center. The rich land of the six states.

The left-behind soldiers and horses of the Ding Navy stationed in Yidu immediately dispatched after receiving the news of Guo Ning's victory, and went straight to the six states.Li Ting was naturally the leader.

Li Ting took the ten thousand people from his headquarters all the way northward, dispatching elite cavalry to raid everywhere along the way.The Jurchen Meng'an Mou Kejun from Hebei had previously remembered that his envoy San Anzhen and Guo Ning were allies, but who would have thought that Ding Haijun would suddenly turn his back on him?
Most of the elite fighters of Meng'an Mouk were taken away by Pu San Anzhen, and the soldiers left behind were not Li Ting's opponents at all.And Li Ting was really vicious. Anyone who bumped into the Jurchen's Meng'an Muke who dared to resist along the way would attack immediately.If you kill someone, you have to hang the head on a flagpole, and follow the army bloody, intimidating along the way.

This method of killing those who dare to resist was first used by the Mongols. Li Ting thought it was very useful, so he learned it.He acts like a murderous maniac, how can he be rivaled by Mengan Muke everywhere?Therefore, it took only twelve days for the soldiers and horses of the army to penetrate the six states and join the two troops of Qiu Huiluo and Wang Shixian who were stationed in Yijinguan, Bazhou.

These two troops fought against Genghis Khan's Qi Xue army before, and suffered heavy casualties. Later, the elite soldiers were drawn out and went to the capital.The rest of the two departments are actually lightly and seriously wounded, so with Guo Ning's permission, the soldiers can cultivate here, and by the way, they can enjoy the benefits sent by the rich families attached to each other, so that they can live more comfortably.

At first glance, Li Ting's soldiers arrived, and the two general managers went out of the camp overjoyed, arranged local supplies, and invited Li Ting to a banquet.

Of course, you can't drink wine indiscriminately, just touch your lips.

Those unlucky bastards in Zhongdu were drinking and sleeping with women, but they were bumped into by Marshal Guo and severely punished.Their frustration on the road was seen and questioned by other soldiers, and they couldn't help crying. The soldiers of Dinghai were all sad when they heard about it.But the military law is ruthless, and there is really nowhere to help.

When they passed through Bazhou, Wang Shixian advised them to go back to their hometown first, so as not to lose face on the road.He was soft-hearted, and promised them that his family had friendship with the officials in charge of the herd house, and if they were really ashamed to be farmers, he would ask them for them, and the herds had no chance to make contributions.

At the meeting, Wang Shixian talked about this matter, and praised Guo Ning's leadership in Zhongdu, and Li Ting said: "Li Yun from the Qunmu Station is my younger brother. How could these thieves not know? They also ran into our army on the way , why don't you come and beg me?"

Wang Shixian laughed: "When you are marching, you often use hundreds of human heads as your guide. The blood in your cavity has stained the road red. Who dares to touch this bad luck?"

While we were chatting, the guards outside the tent urgently reported that the marshal had issued orders from them, and the three general managers, Li Ting, Wang Shixian, and Qiu Huiluo, all knew about it.

The three rushed out of the tent to receive orders. It turned out that Guo Ning heard that Li Ting was going north and sent someone to urge him to pay attention to gathering Hebei stragglers along the way, and then selected the elite among them to make up for the losses of Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo.

From a military point of view, the Meng'an Mouk Army in Hebei was established by Pu San Anzhen with one hand and one foot. Its scale is similar to the military household system established by Guo Ning in Shandong, although the most elite group has already He was ruined in the battlefield of the Central Capital, but the rest of the troops are better than ordinary farmers. After being signed into the army, he can fight with a little training. .

From a political point of view, since Guo Ning, a Haner, controls Zhongdu, it is impossible to continue to allow the Jurchens' Meng'an Mouke system to exist in Hebei, and even the Jurchens themselves must be dispersed as soon as possible and included in Han'er's army It would be better to assimilate in Riga.After this battle, Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo each had thousands of vacancies, which just happened to dismantle Jurchen's Meng'an Mouk and made a small supplement.

After reading the order, Wang Shixian was a little worried: "Li Erlang, the Jurchens in Hebei have been killed by you again. I am afraid that the enmity will be as deep as the sea? In this way, how can the Jurchens be used?"

Qiu Huiluo frowned and nodded: "Thousands of Jurchens are filling the army, and it is very difficult to manage."

Li Ting rolled his eyes.

In his mouth was a piece of mutton leg with tendons, he chewed it up and swallowed it, the corner of his mouth was dripping with soup.The guard next to him quickly handed over a towel, and he wiped his mouth: "You two, come with me?"

Not knowing why, the two followed Li Ting to his camp.

With a golden sword on his horse, Li Ting clapped his hands and said, "Call all those Mukes who are with the army!"

Not long after, dozens of people who looked like Jurchen leaders cautiously came forward to pay their respects.

Li Ting pointed at them, and said to Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo: "I went up from the northeast of Shantung, and along the way, I defeated several Meng'an Moukes and killed a group of people. I'm going to vote for the Kaifeng Mansion. The rest of the things are all of no benefit to follow the Dajin court, and I don't mind changing the family to make a living! I'm not a fool, how can I kill people indiscriminately?"

He raised his voice and shouted: "Listen up!"

The Jurchens leaders were all engrossed.

"My family, Guo Xuanshi, was beaten so hard that the Tartars fled in embarrassment, and the Mongolian army was killed and injured countless times. Therefore, he is now the Marshal of the imperial court! there is none left!"

The leaders of the Jurchens made a commotion, but Li Ting continued: "All of you will be included in the shade households under my Li Erlang from now on, and those who know how to farm will go to farm from now on. The soldiers under my Li Erlang will not bully you. You. But if there are those who are self-reliant and think they can fight with Marshal Guo, we also need them! Therefore, all of you have to draw soldiers! According to the old rules, one out of five will be included in Director Wang and Qiu. Under the command of the general manager!"

As soon as these words came out, Jurchen's face turned ashen.

These people all moved from the northeast inland to Hebei in the early years of the founding of Dajin, and it has been almost 100 years now.To say a good life, their ancestors did live too.But since the battle between Dajin and Mongolia, year after year, all the Jurchens who signed the army to the north have left and never returned, leaving orphans and widows struggling to survive, falling into abject poverty, and dying of starvation every year.

For decades, the low-level Jurchens have lived a hard life, no different from Han'er.However, Han'er still has a cavity of anger and hatred, and something to support them.What are these low-level Jurchens?They have neither the motivation to fight, nor do they know the reason for fighting. How can they be willing to fight?

Therefore, after Pu San Anzhen collected the entire Meng'an Mouk army in Hebei, he was ambitious, but in fact the combat effectiveness of the army was not as good as he thought.And if these left-behind Meng'an Mouke were strong and full of fighting spirit, they wouldn't immediately surrender to Li Ting.

After making noise for a while, the Jurchens turned to Li Ting again.Someone wanted to beg, but Li Ting's cold voice was heard: "You guys, there are always seven or eight thousand strong men. I will free up my hands in the next two days, and I will set up guards for you, count the number of people, and transcribe Enter it into the book. Ten days later, those who should sign the army will meet at Yijin Pass in Bazhou. Those who don't get it will be cut off!"

This Li Erlang is a murderer without blinking an eye, he can really do it!

The Jurchens hesitated for a while, and finally dared not resist.Thinking about it carefully, drawing one out of five cents is not particularly scary...

Many people looked at each other several times, and an old man asked expectantly: "I heard that following Guo Xuanshi, oh no, Marshal Guo can bestow Tian Mu when he fights? Do we Jurchens also have one?"

"Damn, you want to eat farts! Han'er has fields, one hundred acres per household, but Jurchens have no acres to divide, nothing."

"Nothing at all?"

Everyone just felt that they were hit by lightning.Meng'an Mouke is going to be dismantled, and the signing army is still fighting as usual, and there is nothing to benefit from the fields... It is said that there are many Shandong people in the navy, and they have a deep hatred with the Jurchens.Are they going to let the Jurchens die?

A group of people worked so hard to follow Li Ting's soldiers and horses here. Some people watched the disobedient Mouke army village being completely slaughtered, and the sorrow and resentment they suppressed forcibly, didn't they just want to get a promise so that everyone can continue to live go down?
That's it?You might as well kill us all!

Some middle-aged men in the queue couldn't bear it anymore. They clenched their fists subconsciously, and the veins on their arms burst open.

The surrounding Dinghai officers and soldiers saw that they were wrong, and surrounded them one after another, drawing their knives halfway to threaten them.

Li Ting still sat relaxed, looked at them and sneered: "Didn't you understand what I said? In the future, there will be no Jurchens' Meng'an Muke in Hebei. The rule I made is that only Han children can join the army to divide the land." Divide the land! I don't understand, you people, all of you have Han'er faces and speak Han'er language, how did you become a Jurchen?"

Everyone present fell silent.

Half an hour later, Li Ting, Wang Shixian, and Qiu Huiluo returned to the banquet.Qiu Huiluo found that the wine and meat were cold, and repeatedly called the cook to reheat it.

And Li Ting said triumphantly: "Isn't this the end? It's so good! Let them change their names, and then break them up and distribute them to various departments. After two or three years of military rations, who cares?" Remember that you are a Jurchen? Hey, so what if you remember? Once you get used to Haner’s ways, no one wants to go back! Lao Wang, you are a Wanggu who can speak Chinese, do you like that Wanggu on the grassland? King of Peking?"

Wang Shixian shook his head again and again, pointing at Li Ting, not knowing what to say for a while.

Two days later, Guo Ning's order from Zhongdu came again, and Li Ting was appointed as the envoy of the Ying Navy, and the commander of the military capital of the East Hebei Road.
