Chapter 703 Popin

Song State’s government affairs have always been unhurried. Since Li Yun has gone to Song State, Guo Ning does not expect him to achieve results in a year or so. Fortunately, there is no conflict between the Jin and Song Dynasties for a while, so he is not worried What danger is he in.

Judging from the current situation, Guo Ning, Zhou Guogong's territory, is more chaotic than the outside world.

After the beginning of the third year of Zhenyou, there have been no large-scale wars between the Central Plains and the Northlands, as if the Dajin Kingdom had experienced peace for several years.In fact, the split of the Dajin Kingdom is like the collapse of a huge iceberg. It is only an appearance that the peaks of the iceberg floating on the water suddenly separate.Under the surface of the water, rock ice that was as solid as iron and seemed unshakable for ten thousand years burst into pieces one after another, and the shock and turbulence caused had already caused the waves to churn.

In the past six months, in the vast land between Daxing Mansion in the central capital and Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing, from the intersection of the areas controlled by the two regimes, to the many military states newly annexed by the Ding Navy, numerous raids, massacres, temptations, Betrayal is happening all the time.

For Dinghai, Monk Luo, who is in charge of Shandong, and Li Ting, who is in charge of Hebei, are facing the most difficult situation.

In the area of ​​Shandong, because there were remnants of the Red Coat Army entrenched between the fork of the Yellow River and Mount Tai, which hindered the head-on confrontation between Monk Luo and Wanyan Heda's troops in Nanjing, so both sides were trying to find a way against the Red Coat Army.And the Red Coat Army itself is in a state of disintegration, and it is difficult to prevent them from becoming tools driven by powerful forces.

Fortunately, Monk Luo looks rough and fierce, but he is very effective in attracting Liu Erzu and others by virtue of his demeanor.

One time, with only two or three entourages and two altars of good wine, he went directly to Damo Gu in Fei County without saying hello, and invited Liu Erzu, who was entrenched on the Gu, down the mountain to drink.It's just that it's all right, he said again, it's rare that the other leaders of the Red Coat Army are here, so why not drink and have fun together.

At that time, Shi Qing, Hao Ding, Xia Quan and others really gathered on the mountain to discuss how to deal with the situation where the two golds are at the same time!How did Monk Luo know about this situation?How could the checkpoints along the route be so negligent that he actually blocked the door?

Everyone was surprised and suspicious at the moment.Xia Lili led the way down the mountain separately, avoiding Monk Luo; Hao Ding said, let's walk through the main entrance ostentatiously, does this fat monk really dare to stop us?Shi Qing was jumping on his feet, saying that he wanted to capture Monk Luo and raise troops to retake Shandong, everyone thought he was insane.

In the end, the group went down the mountain and had a hearty drink with Monk Luo.After finishing the two altars of good wine brought from Yidu, Monk Luo drank the village wine brought by Liu Erzu temporarily, and finally got so drunk that he was carried to the cottage to sleep for a night, and then he left the mountain leisurely .

As a result, the rest of the Red Coat Army from all walks of life in Shandong became more polite and respectful to Ding Haijun, and the conflict between the two sides also decreased sharply. Some Red Coat Army forces even took the initiative to start doing business with Ding Haijun, and even contributed to maintaining business channels.

These people rebelled with all their blood and blood, but failed to achieve anything. Now they are sandwiched between two major forces, one is the sworn enemy Jurchen, and the other is the Haner regime after all, even though they have fought each other.Who they are inclined to in their hearts has long been self-evident.

It's a pity that after Ding Haijun captured the Central Capital in one go, he was already struggling with food, a little indigestion, and flatulence, so the entire military mansion was not in a hurry to sweep, but focused on sorting out the interior of the house.Otherwise, when a document is issued, most of these people will surrender.

Compared with Monk Luo, the Hebei area that Li Ting was in charge of was the core area of ​​the Jin Kingdom's rule, and it must also be the core area of ​​the Zhou regime established by Guo Ning.Guo Ning's request to Li Ting was that the area must be razed, and that the place should not be deliberately favored to save future troubles, so Li Ting did it without any compromise.

On the one hand, Jurchen's Meng'an Mouk is very powerful here, and their attitude towards Ding Haijun is very complicated.On the other hand, many self-proclaimed local tyrants and owners of water villages have also become obstacles to local governance.

When Li Ting and others fell into the grass, these local tyrants and village owners were in the same breath as many rout gangs, and the relationship was between accomplices and allies.For example, Li Ting and other defeated soldiers occupying a place and looting houses, their integrity is not as good as these local tyrants and village owners.

Later, when Pu San Anzhen governed Hebei, most of these local forces were dominated by the governor, and appointed many titles such as general managers, prosecutors, congyi, and command envoys, and only asked them to close their doors to enjoy their own wealth. Do not expand.

But times have changed, and now the rout soldiers have turned into officers and soldiers, and they have begun to forcibly restore order, request land distribution, check the outstanding two taxes and even commercial taxes such as salt and wine taxes, and even start to Investigate some early murder cases.

This made countless people dissatisfied. Some people took the initiative to cater to the propaganda of Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing, issued a call to slander Zhou Guogong Guo Ning, and played all kinds of banners to seek thieves;

But Li Ting has always used simple means to deal with any complicated issues.He would kill all those with bad intentions when he found one, and if he found a group, he would kill a group. Others thought that the method would be too cruel, but he didn't change his face, he killed it with joy.

Under his management, most of the military prefectures in Hebei were actually constantly fighting, and riots of dozens or hundreds of people often broke out in various places.

But Li Ting himself had fought gangsters in the green forests of Hebei, and he was very familiar with the tactics of his generation, and he also had a large number of troops that could be dispatched quickly.Every time, they can rush into the arena before the riot spreads and force it down.

These riots were interrupted again and again, and the scale never increased to the level of engulfing a large number of people, and they never managed to control the city's stable foothold. Those who participated in the riots would hang their heads on the city gate within a day or two. In vain, the forces operated by the family have become the whetstone of the generals under the command of Ying Haijun Jiedushi.

After the end of summer, the Anfen people began to be busy with the autumn harvest, and no one listened to the incitement, and the local arrogance was wiped out. One after another, some people surrendered their weapons and withdrew from the water villages and camps they built privately, so the local turmoil suddenly reduce.

On the contrary, Li Ting confiscated many appointment documents and correspondence issued by Youdujian, Marshal Youdujian, who was appointed by King Sui, and Wanyan Congtan, the Jiedu envoy of Anguo Army, in the process of encircling and suppressing the rebels several times. To be polite, while collecting them and sending them to the central capital, we mobilized 2000 elite troops to prepare for a counterattack.

On the day of the winter solstice, Li Ting's Qingqi troops set off confidently and raided the Daluze camp where Wanyan Congtan had gathered together and trained village leaders from all over Hebei. They beheaded more than a thousand people and captured Wanyan Congtan's deputy. Li Ge was appointed by Wang as the transfer envoy of Hebei West Road.

At the same time, the people of Jing'an, who were in charge of the defense of the vast mountainous area in the north of Hebei, also turned more and more energy to the west because of the weakening of the pressure from the Mongols, and began to infiltrate Xijing Province and Hedong and other places.

Correspondingly, King Sui also used many countermeasures.

However, during this period of time, most of the civil and military centers of the Ding Navy concentrated their energies in Zhongdu City, busy with sorting out the political order after Emperor Xingding ascended the throne, while Guo Ning paid more attention to the reorganization and management of his own navy fleet. rectify.Since they maintain a strong military force, they have no intention of continuing to expand the military confrontation, no matter how fierce the waves are, there will always be time to subside.

With King Sui of Nanjing's Kaifeng Mansion ascending the throne surrounded by his officials and named him "Yuanguang", a regime that seemed to better represent the orthodoxy of the Wanyan family rose.Emperor Xingding in Zhongdu and Emperor Yuanguang in Nanjing are brothers, and their mother is Wang's sisters, but the Eastern and Western Jins they represent are like the Eastern and Western Weis in the history books, and they have been incompatible since the beginning of their establishment. .

Many people thought that after Emperor Yuanguang came to the throne, he would definitely avenge his father and launch a large-scale battle against Dongjin, but they never thought that he was a calm person and did not act recklessly.As the weather got colder, it was not easy to mobilize soldiers and horses, and the supply of food, fodder and supplies on both sides began to be tense. The conflicts on the border between the East and the West and the Jin Dynasty gradually decreased. The world is becoming more and more calm.
