choke element

Yila Chucai was a scholar, a descendant of the royal family of the Daliao Dynasty, and the son of the Zaizhi of the Dajin Kingdom.Although he is the backbone of Ding Hai's government affairs, his style of acting is actually quite different from Guo Ning's.If Guo Ning is fire, he is water; Guo Ning is a ferocious beast in the wild, but he is always a scholar-bureaucrat who can be graceful and graceful in court.

Previously, the navy was established in Shandong and Liaodong, and there is already experience in grassroots governance based on the formation of the army.After Guo Ning settled in Zhongdu, he originally planned to start a new stove outside the imperial court system, and use the school run by the army to cultivate talents and enrich it.

And some radical officers in the army even joined forces secretly, intending to kill all the nobles in the city, especially the Jurchen officials, and then directly support Guo Ning to sit on the throne.

In this kind of fanaticism, only Chucai, the assassin, persuaded Guo Ning in private: when making great strides in military affairs, one may have to be extra cautious in politics and economy.What's more, since ancient times, it is enough for people who want to make great achievements to make one or two enemies. There is no reason to take the initiative to put a large number of people on a hostile position.

Taking a step back, Daikin has a central governance system that has been gradually improved for decades. Even if there are many people who need to be treated differently, there is no need to kick them away.

Fortunately, despite Guo Ning's ferocious demeanor, he has always maintained a calm and unusual attitude.He agrees with Yi Ra Chucai's opinion very much, and is willing to give Yi Ra Chucai time and authority to slowly win over someone worth fighting for.

That's why Guo Ning treated Wanyan Chenghui favorably, and the Marshal's Mansion directly led the army and controlled government affairs remotely, while the Privy Council of the Central Capital used a large number of court officials to change the situation.

The problem is that this situation may be maintained for a long time when the Mongol threat is close at hand.At that time, Yisha Chucai could also see the undercurrent, but after all, it was only an undercurrent and could not be brought to the fore.Once the threat of the Mongols receded a little, all kinds of jumping clowns appeared, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the demons danced wildly.

Of course, this is also human nature.

Why did they think and do this, Yila Chucai thought it was absurd at first, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he could understand the truth they were adhering to.

To some extent, Dinghai and Mongolia are both regimes based on powerful military might.

It's just that Mongolia used its military power to achieve plunder and conquest, and used the benefits of plunder and conquest to unite people's hearts.Once his military power was frustrated, problems would arise in the prospect of Genghis Khan's steady stream of benefits promised by Genghis Khan, so the entire regime immediately began to shake, and internal conflicts broke out one after another.

As for the navy, it uses its own force to ensure the security of the territory.Regardless of the local people's support for the army, or the previous court's tolerance for them, they are all based on the same premise, that is, the Ding Navy is brave and good at fighting, can fight with the Mongolian army, and can save lives in emergencies.

Even after Dinghai took control of the capital, many parties continued to endure it for this reason.The situation is clear, leaving Dinghai, no one has the guts to resist Mongolia.After any force gains an advantage in China, it has to face the Mongolian army, and the result does not need to be guessed at all.

But this premise no longer existed after Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition.

The strategic direction of the Mongolian army cannot be changed casually. If the Mongols turn their spearhead to the west, it is not a big white country that can satisfy their insatiable appetite.Therefore, this expedition to the west will take a year or two, or even longer.

During this period of time, all parties do not need the military support of the Ding Navy to ensure their own safety.That is to say, if you grab something at the right time, you can be comfortable for at least a year or two; or you can win a year or two to prepare for the next wave of invasion.

This situation is actually quite disappointing.But it was much better than the previous situation where there was no chance.What's more, in this kind of world, even if you don't do anything, you will inevitably be involved in the bloody wave in the end. Maybe if you do something, the result will be better?
There are many people who hold this idea.

A few days ago, Jinshan reported that a Mongolian tribe tried to hijack the Dinghai envoy when they heard that Genghis Khan had launched the Western Expedition, and fled back to the grassland in riots to seize the sphere of influence.

The ferocity in their bones has been aroused by Genghis Khan. No matter how embarrassed they are, no matter how humble they are, they will always want to occupy the grassland, gather their forces, and become robbers who rob everywhere.

This is the idea that the Mongols are wild and unruly, and are used to burning, killing and looting.

At the same time, Beijing Road reported that because of the shrinking power of Mongolia, the power of the Jurchen in the Northeast mainland was also about to move.The Jurchen troops set off from their reliable base, which is Taizhou, where the Northeast Road Recruitment Department was stationed at the eastern end of the northern boundary trench, and they were able to drive westward for hundreds of miles, even at the expense of fighting with the newly recruited troops of the Ding Navy. confrontation.

After all, Zhang Qian didn't know enough about the situation in the Northeast, so he kept talking about fighting for grassland.In fact, the several confrontation points he marked on the map happened to be the old pastures of the three herds of Yelidu, Puxian, and Pusuwo established by the Zhangzong Dynasty of the Dajin Kingdom.

The group of Jurchens and Huligai people in the Northeast mainland came prepared.

According to the statistics of the imperial court, the twelve herds and pastures under Zhang Zong's jurisdiction had 47 horses, 13 cattle, 87 sheep, and [-] camels.According to the carrying capacity of Lidu, Puxian, and Pusuwo, there is no problem with the carrying capacity of [-] horses, [-] to [-] cattle, and hundreds of thousands of sheep.

For such a large ranch, it is not unbearable for He Ding Haijun to take the risk of turning his face.

This is the idea that the Jurchen chiefs have tasted the sweetness of commerce and trade, so they intend to control the upstream supply of goods and earn more from trade.

Now that the Ding Navy's sphere of influence reaches, it must deal with the Mongols behind the Monan Mountains, and win over the local Jurchens and Huligai people in the Northeast.On Zhongdu Road, the situation is different.

In the past few years, Zhongdu has suffered from military disasters and wars repeatedly, and the number of registered people has dropped from ten to four or five.But after all, this big city is the basis of the Dajin Kingdom's painstaking management for [-] years. It is not only the political center of the Dajin Kingdom, but also a place where humanities gather.No matter in the court or in the opposition, there are still various political forces, and they all have the ability to spread their influence to the territory of Dajin.

Yila Chucai was able to thrive in this environment because he himself represented one of the forces, that is, relatively pure administrative bureaucrats.These people have stayed away from the political struggles of the upper echelons of the imperial court for decades, and only care about the specific things at hand.

There is another important representative of these people, that is, Xu Ding, the right minister of the dynasty.

Xu's father and son have been officials for two generations, and every time the court encountered real difficulties, they wanted to put them on the top to do hard work, and after the work was done, they settled their accounts and pushed them back to bear the criticism.So again and again.

When the Mongolian army besieged the city last year and everyone had no food to eat, Xu Ding had no choice but to formulate an expedient form of entitlement to allow officials and people to import millet and grass to exchange their official positions with the court.While the garrison in the Central Capital was eating the food that Xu Ding cheated and abducted in this way, the nobles in the court were still accusing Xu Ding of selling officials and nobles, and losing the face of the court.

So Xu Ding and others saw the changes in the court situation as if they were lying down and watching the blue sky and white clouds.Whatever Bai Yuncang dog turns around, they are lying down anyway, so they don't care at all.

To them, Yila Chucai has always been very reassuring.

The trouble is that the other two forces became active after Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition.

Yila Chucai and these two parties have a share of incense and fire.He also spent a lot of effort to appease them before.But at this moment... Many people saw that their own safety was no longer threatened, so they became bolder all of a sudden. The collusion and connection in recent days has almost reached the point of brazenness, and some arrangements are even more intensive, one step at a time .

This is no longer something Yicha Chucai can suppress.

What's more, such behaviors, what Yicha Chucai saw, and how many others didn't?

The Department of Records and Yira Chucai's government affairs system are not the same.Xu Yu would not tell Yira Chucai everything he learned, but Guo Ning had the original copy of every document handed over to Yira Chucai.Guo Ning must have a clearer grasp of the situation than Yicai Chucai.

Yicha Chucai even thought, is it possible that the situation in front of him is simply indulged by Guo Ning?
It's not impossible.

Yicha Chucai knew better than anyone that Guo Ning was by no means a simple martial artist.Under the bold and hearty appearance of this reckless hero, there is something very deep and ruthless hidden.

A gust of autumn wind suddenly blows, and the two paper lanterns in front of the hall where Chucai works are rolled up and flipped cracklingly.

He shuddered and forcibly gathered his thoughts back.After all, force is the foundation of hegemony, after all, Guo Ning's fierce reputation of killing people like mowing grass is the basis for Yisha Chucai to be able to govern peacefully!

"Sincerely."

Yichai Chucai's deputy Yang Chengzhi came out from the small hall next door: "I'm here."

Yira Chucai said with a relaxed smile: "If you have spare time in the evening, why not come to my house for a few drinks."

Yang Chengzhi was stunned: "Jin Qing, I plan to go to Yuzaochi tonight, and I made an appointment with some friends earlier..."

"I mean, you have time tonight."

Yira Chucai slightly emphasized his tone: "In the past few days, you have spare time every night, just drink with me."

Yang Chengzhi suddenly understood, and the blood on his face faded suddenly.
