Chapter 283 Four Points (Part 1)

The group entered the city and headed straight to Li Ting's mansion.

The parents of the two brothers died young, but they never separated and always lived together. Therefore, it seems a bit unreasonable that Li Yun found a beautiful woman before Li Ting got married.

Li Ting didn't mind this too much, but Madam Hua was always worried in her heart.

Fortunately, Li Ting is also getting married in the next two days.

While Li Yun and Li Ting were talking, congratulators kept coming to visit them in advance. They were all rude warriors. What good words could they say to praise and pray? They all made random jokes.

Li Ting had a bad temper. In the past, if he was teased, he would immediately hit him with a big stick. But now his face was red and he just laughed.

Li Yun chatted with his brother for a while, and then he realized that many of the officers and men of the Ding Navy were getting married these days.

Those weather-beaten old soldiers originally had nothing and were homeless one by one. Except for the knife in their hands, they had no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. But now they have a place to stay, fields, farm tools, and cattle.

They all give priority to rationing, and each one of them protects the households, at least as a security chief or a neighbor chief.

This situation is quite enviable in the eyes of the refugees gathered from all over Shandong.

A few days ago, the people of Jing'an mobilized a group of civilians. When the weather was freezing, they were unable to travel far, so they simply let them return to their homes and build houses for the meritorious soldiers.

The civilian husbands worked for local military households and quickly became familiar with each other.

When the first batch of shade households were allocated earlier, Guo Ning gave repeated orders not to insult the people. Several soldiers behaved particularly badly and had their heads chopped off. Therefore, there were very few conflicts between the army and the people.

After the victory of the navy officers, almost everyone had some money and gifts in their hands. At this time, they had nowhere to spend the money, so they gave a lot to the civilians who helped build the houses, and they were generally generous.

As a result, many people with daughters of the right age were moved, and those soldiers who came to Shandong alone also followed the trend and were happy to start a family.

Someone said to Guo Ning that the soldiers were getting married one by one. They might have passed through Wenwen Township and got used to the hot bed of their wives and children, so they became worried about them. It would be difficult for them to fight to the death like they did back then. Guo Ning scoffed at this idea.

Guo Ning himself is a warrior who has struggled up from the bottom, and he knows that in this era, most people do not have a strong concept of nationality. Even if Guo Ning opens a military academy, he must explain this issue step by step.

Therefore, this is the benefit of "family and country". Protecting the family means protecting the country, and protecting the family means protecting everything. Guo Ning gave the soldiers a home in Shandong, so there were many things that the soldiers did not think about in detail for the time being.

It doesn't matter. If anyone wants to destroy our beautiful life, just hit them.

Only with the soldiers who are tied to them can they know why they are fighting, and the fighting spirit generated from this will only be stronger than when they are fleeing in embarrassment to survive.

Because of Guo Ning's attitude, more soldiers and soldiers got married. According to statistics from the military government, in the past ten years alone, more than 20 soldiers and civilians got married in Ye County, and in surrounding counties and towns.

Want more.

Of course, when a trend becomes popular, there will inevitably be some negative effects. For example, officers and soldiers who originally had families were often encouraged to take concubines, and there was even jealousy among several officers.

Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of Ding Haijun is good, and small flaws do not affect the overall situation.

In these days, the local dramas and the theory of stars are popular in the local area. Not all soldiers may believe it, but at least they all know that the ambition of the commander is far from the one-third acre of Deng, Lai, and Ninghai. Next

, our own military and political groups still have to climb higher, and there is still a long way to go.

Not to mention, the commander-in-chief’s self-confidence is so simple, in order to encourage the soldiers to achieve this level...

In the past few days, Marshal Jie is also getting married. But even his wedding is too low-key. I heard that he had solemnly proposed before that he wanted to have his wedding at the same time as the meritorious soldiers. For this reason, he specially

They made up a name and called it "mass wedding"!

Commander Jie's intention was clear. He planned to set a clear example himself so that the generals would not dare to mess around in this regard if they used their brains a little.

But even for the sake of military morale, why go to this extent? This idea is a bit shocking. What's more, the wedding was too casual and unsightly, causing outsiders to underestimate the power of the navy.

After the group tried hard to persuade him, Guo Ning angrily gave up the idea.

"You think so?" When Li Ting said this, he shook his head repeatedly: "Guo Liulang is good at everything, but he can't change his ways. If we hadn't stopped him this time, hey, the entire Dinghai Navy would have been destroyed.

People are making a fool of themselves!”

Li Yun had been in power in Zhigu Village for several months, and his temperament had been tempered and he had matured a lot. He did not agree with his brother with a single word, but casually changed the topic elsewhere and helped with a few chores.

After a while, he went to Jieshuai's Mansion, and Aunt Hua followed him.

Li Yun had not seen Guo Ning for a long time, and he had a lot of information about Zhongdu that he had to confess face to face. When Hua Auntie was in Zhigu Village, she got along well with Lu Han, so she just took this opportunity to renew the handkerchief exchange.

Guo Ning's Commander-in-Chief Mansion is grand on the outside. The main hall and the conference hall can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people for discussion. However, the weather is really cold these days, and the wind is strong near the sea. The main hall and the conference hall are too big, and the doors and windows are too big.

There are too many, and the cold wind always blows through the window paper and pours in through the gaps between the window lattice, like little cold snakes crawling in. Even lighting two or three braziers doesn't work.

So Guo Ning simply asked his staff to go back to their respective rooms, and he himself retreated to his living room.

Li Yun followed the servant who led the way to the backyard. He saw that there were not many houses and the furnishings were simple.

There is a martial arts training ground with eighteen kinds of weapons arranged; there is also a stable with several strong horses. Apart from that, the only thing that is conspicuous is a row of red lanterns hanging on the corridor, presumably in preparation for the wedding.

There was a young man holding several lanterns in his hands and hanging the second row on the beam unhurriedly. Occasionally he talked to each other happily and laughed a few times.

In the Zhigu Village these days, the business agents of the officials and officials that Li Yun came into contact with were actually just domestic slaves. They were able to live in large courtyards, splendid houses, and bejeweled. When he suddenly saw such an appearance, he was a little suspicious.

Got the place.

There are two courtyards, Guo Ning lives in the front one, and Lu Han lives in the back one.

Aunt Hua specially brought a package, which was a gift for Lu Han, and a maid took Aunt Hua to the back. Li Yun stood in the courtyard on the first level to sign up. There were several guards on duty here, and Li Yun only recognized them.

Ni Yi and a few strangers, who should have been recruited by Xinjin. Ni Yi smiled at Li Yun and passed the news into the room.

Then Guo Ning shouted: "It's cold outside, come in quickly!"

Li Yun pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Guo Ning wearing a leather robe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a local book. He frowned and thought about it from time to time, and tugged at his short mustache.

Seeing Li Yun come in, Guo Ning raised his eyes and stared for a moment, nodded and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, and he has become calmer. Unlike your brother, who is always jumping up and down."

Guo Ning and Li Ting had saved each other's lives on the battlefield. They exchanged a few words without making a fuss.

Li Yun just smiled and bowed.

Guo Ning asked again: "Is there any hindrance to the fleet going north? It didn't attract outsiders' attention, right?"

"Don't worry, Commander Jie. The Zhongdu side only said that we are still picking up the merchants from Zhigu Village. This is something that has been arranged for a long time. There are a few spies who are always paying attention. What can they know and what cannot they know?

It's within our control."

"After the incident is completed, can the fleet and manpower be withdrawn in time?"

"We have very experienced boatmen and have determined that it will take ten days for the sea to completely freeze. This is enough for us to escape."

"good."

Li Yun raised his eyes to look at Guo Ning, but stopped talking.

Guo Ning wrote two lines on a file, stamped it, and put it into the processed pile. He looked up at Li Yun and asked, "Are you worried?"

Li Yun hesitated for a long time.

Guo Ning opened a new file: "What are you worried about? If you have an idea, just say it, I'm listening."

"Firstly, there are undercurrents raging inside Zhongdu, and the Mongolian army is watching from outside, but our base is thousands of miles away. If we reach out rashly to go back and marry someone else, I'm afraid it will be a thankless task. Secondly, the Quanzhen Sect

If China's power expands through this, I'm worried that sooner or later it will lose its strength in Shandong."

Guo Ning was stunned, put down his pen and looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun held his breath and concentrated.

After a long while, Guo Ning laughed: "Mr. Jinzhi often praised you in his letters. Now it seems that you have really made progress. It is a good thing to think of this. However, the planning of the whole thing is not so

It’s simple…just relax!”

Guo Ning stood up and picked up the copper pot: "Here, take a sip of hot tea."

"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief." Li Yun stood up respectfully and took the tea cup with both hands.
