choke element

This change is very worthy of attention. Guo Ning feels that it is necessary to go to the front line to take a look.

Of course, along the way, he not only dealt with military affairs, but also happened to see all the surrounding areas of the newly recovered city gates, related to city defense restoration, farmland reclamation, water conservancy construction, road widening, etc.In addition, from the central capital to the north, facing the Mongol defense line, there is Zhao Jue in front, Jing'an people on the side, and Qiu Huiluo on the outside. Whether these people are suitable, whether they are attentive, and whether they are available, Guo Ning dare not slack off at all, and has to check them one by one with his own eyes.

During this process, he and several staff members around him had to review the official documents transferred all the way from Zhongdu.This is really because Dinghai's stalls have suddenly spread to a huge size, and the construction of personnel and systems will inevitably lag behind.

Guo Ning is very self-aware. He knows that he is not a hero at all, and even regarded as a strong commander by others, I am afraid that he has too much reputation.Even his subordinates may not be very clever.

Needless to say, the civil servants, Yicai Chucai is Guo Ning's thigh, but he is only 26 years old. Guo Ning has never interfered in government affairs, but he also knows that some old-fashioned vision and slick methods are not born.When Guo Ning entered Zhongdu in the first year of Zhenyou, he met Tu Shanyi. There were quite a few young heroes under the control of the old man, and Chu Cai was only one of them after all.

As for the generals, outsiders thought that the generals were like clouds, and Ding Haijun also arranged a group of opera singers, and made up some theater dramas all day long to brag about.The last time Guo Ning heard about it, less than half of the officers above the Qian Jurisdiction in our side, who had some reputation, went to Ying Xingxiu, and they were about to release spells to kill the enemy.

But is that true?

Ordinary people love to talk about it, but how can Guo Ning really believe it?

Most of the generals of the Ding Navy have been promoted dozens of levels in the past two or three years, and have reached their current positions.Not to mention being proficient in the art of war, many officers don't even know a few big characters.As for the talent of the commander, the two outstanding soldiers in the army still relied on their experience of leading hundreds of thieves in Tangluo, Hebei.

The invincibility of this army so far is due to Guo Ning's generous distribution of benefits to a group of veterans at the grassroots level, and led them to return to the way they played when the Dajin Kingdom was strong and prosperous. The only familiar thing.

How long can such combat power last?
Two generations and one generation, or ten years, five years and three years?Will the fire in the hearts of the soldiers keep burning, or will they suddenly be discouraged because of their own wealth at a certain moment?Guo Ning was not sure.

Can such a style of play really be invincible?
There are countless heroes in this world, they can't react for a while, but they won't be unable to react all the time.Guo Ning is convinced that he cannot always rely on being reckless and invincible, and sooner or later he will kick the iron plate.

Guo Ning vigorously promotes the construction of the military academy, hoping that soldiers at every level can be enriched in the military academy.But many of the things taught in the military academy came from the scraps and pieces of Guo Ning's dream.Can those things really mature and become a whole system to support the military and escort a powerful regime?

Guo Ning still doesn't know.

That's why Guo Ning gradually lived like a leader of a military and political group, rather than a simple warrior.He still likes to practice martial arts, but when not practicing martial arts, he will review documents and write down opinions every day, although calligraphy is still not good.During this tour, he also carefully inspected every place he passed, and asked whether the plan of the Marshal's Mansion had begun to advance, and whether there were any omissions.

But he is very clear that so many things he does need time to trial and error, to adjust; need a lot of resources to invest in order to make the army building on the right track and constantly improve itself.We must persist in the strategy of accumulating grain widely and building walls high, because the road ahead is still long, and there are still many enemies to be overwhelmed, not limited to the tough nomads on the grassland.

Of course, if we want to go to the long run, we have to solve some immediate problems that must be solved.

Guo Ning stood in front of the city gate and looked at the towers of Jinshan City.

"Ni Yi."

"exist."

"Put my flag on the top of the city. At this moment, in Jinshan City, Guichuan, and even Juyongguan, the Mongol Aljinchi should be watching. Seeing my flag, smart people should take action. "

"Yes."

When the flying flag was fluttering over the city, many soldiers couldn't help cheering.Zhao Xuan also told the Han'er slaves who entered the city one after another at the right time that there would be an extra meal tonight, so they also cheered, making the city and outside the city full of a happy atmosphere.

This enthusiastic atmosphere has no substance, it is only reflected in the cheers looming over the city, or the occasional gestures of soldiers on the city wall raising their weapons and waving them.

This kind of clues will fall into the eyes of experienced fighters after a long distance, and they will infer many things.

But to be honest, even experienced Mongolian warriors find it difficult to calm down and infer.This kind of bustling atmosphere full of soldiers and civilians in the city makes people very uncomfortable, and they can't concentrate at all.

In the north of Jinshan City, Naminfu leaned out from the tall grass.He stared at his bloodshot one eye, trying his best to see the appearance of the flag on the top of the city.But for some reason, the more he stared, the more he couldn't see clearly.

There was a surge of anger rolling in his heart, and he couldn't help opening his mouth suddenly, wanting to say something.But this action twitched the large erosion and bleeding at the corner of his mouth, and the severe pain made him close his mouth again.

After Genghis Khan established the Great Mongol Kingdom and began to fight against the Kingdom of Jin, countless Mongolian warriors followed the Great Khan to fight and trampled their horseshoes all over the Jurchen territory south of the continuous mountains.

The absurd thing is that in one battle after another, the Mongolian warriors killed many people and robbed many things, but after each fight, when they returned to the grassland, the lives of ordinary Mongolians seemed to be different. What an improvement.

Most of the things looted from the Central Plains are useless.

Those supple brocades can't keep out the cold, the glittering pearls can't fill the stomach, and the heavy copper coins and exquisite utensils can only be seen and heard.

And these things cannot be exchanged.After several years of war, in a tribe of thousands of households, except for the most humble slaves, every Mongolian family with strong men has more or less saved some of these things.

Every family has them, and they are useless, so who wants them?
Every time chasing aquatic plants and moving yurts, people just want to throw all these things away.

By the way, there are a lot more ironware.Such as iron armor, iron knives, and iron arrow clusters.

But Genghis Khan has ordered that the tribes are not allowed to fight without authorization.So most of the time, when there is no war between the tribes, these iron objects can only be put on display.

If you have to wear the armor all day, it will be cold in winter and hot in summer, which is extremely uncomfortable!

At the same time, what the Mongols originally had seemed to be gradually diminishing.

For example, the flock of sheep that the family used to raise is not as good as before when the males have been fighting south for several years.Every family has several horses necessary for grazing, but once there is a war, you have to ride the horses. When you come back, it is not bad to lose weight, and it is normal for a few horses to die from exhaustion.

So the question is, so many Mongols have lost a lot of things, but what they got in return are those meaningless bits and pieces... What are you planning?
When Naminfu thought about it carefully, it seemed that he only made money from slaves, and he made a lot of money.

Every time he goes south to fight, he can bring back a group of slaves for his family, including Dangxiang people, Khitan people or Han'er.Especially the Han slaves, they are extraordinarily docile and capable.

But slaves, like livestock, must be raised.The more they are, the more food they consume; the more food they consume, the more sheep must be raised, the more milk must be milked, and the more wild wheat must be gathered for them to eat; Wild wheat requires larger pastures.

Where is the larger pasture?

Genghis Khan has always said that he will lead everyone to urge the horses to gallop, and turn the land covered by the blue sky into a Mongolian pasture.This promise made everyone very excited.

But it seems, it seems, maybe, Da Khan didn't fulfill his promise?

Not to mention the territory of the Jurchens in the south, even the land with lush water and grass behind the Monan Mountain seems to be slowly retreating?

Then when he came back from the circle, Naminfu was extremely depressed.
