Major events have been assigned, but the specific implementation plan cannot be hatched overnight.
Under the general framework, the civil and military ministers once again had a heated discussion, and it was not until dusk that they dispersed and focused on the urgent matters at hand. The commander-in-chief also sent people to inform the civil and military officials at all levels, and the meeting will continue tomorrow.
That night, almost everyone in Laizhou City knew that a major change had occurred in the Red Coat Army, and that Guo Jieshuai was about to officially take office as the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong, confirming the next major policy of taking over Shandong.
So until late at night, all government offices and military camps were still brightly lit.
Guo Ning vaguely heard that many soldiers were talking about the fighting deeds of Han Xuan and Li Ting in Liaodong. At this time, everyone was excited, shouting and encouraging each other, eager for a battle.
He looked a little further away, and even the streets where many ordinary soldiers and civilians lived were dotted with lights, and there were still crowds of people on the road. The people who were rushing home before the curfew were talking and guessing about the content of tomorrow's meeting.
Beyond the high walls of Guo Ning's commander's mansion was the common people's quarters, which had no particularly open partitions. So he even heard discussions among the common people right next to the commander's mansion.
Someone said with emotion: "Marshal Yang An'er is also a hero of our Shandong Province. When he raised his troops, his momentum was a hundred times that of our commander, but he never thought that he would be defeated so quickly? It must be a treacherous trick of the imperial court!"
Among the people walking with him, no one thought there was anything inappropriate about "the imperial court's conspiracy". As he walked, someone responded:
"So what if the momentum is a hundred times greater? Didn't you hear what the play says? When Yang An'er was in Hebei, he was defeated by Hu Shahu. He relied on our commander to lead the troops to save his life! When the Mongols came to Shandong that day, where was Yang An'er? For us
The common people came forward to defeat the Mongols, and it wasn’t us, the Commander-in-Chief? Only when the Mongols left did Yang Aner start to tremble, what kind of momentum was there? This is unavoidable..."
Someone on the side interjected: "Soldiers are more about quality, not more. We believe that the navy pays attention to elite soldiers and strong generals. When one is against a hundred, in terms of momentum, it is naturally not as good as the Red Coat Army. It will be much stronger in battle! This time we
We defeated the Mongols again in Liaodong, and the imperial envoy to Liaodong knelt down to thank us and begged us to give Gaizhou and Fuzhou to us!"
The man before was not convinced: "When the Mongols came, Marshal Yang was still at Moqi Mountain in Juzhou. No matter what he wanted to do, he couldn't reach the Mongols. But Marshal Liu Erzu, Marshal Peng Yibin and others were guarding Mount Tai.
To scare the Mongols away from attacking is also the behavior of Shandong heroes!"
The other person suddenly raised his voice: "Aren't you talking nonsense... Is it more powerful to hold on to the dangers in the mountains than to fight in the plains? Even though Ding Haijun comes from Hebei, he is very powerful! Damn it, your family is under attack.
What happened to the Mongolian prisoner who was exchanged for the Dinghai Navy? Please tell your conscience and tell the truth."
The person who interrupted quickly smoothed things over: "Not all of us in the Dinghai Navy are from Hebei. You guys are saying, is Guo Jiedu's Tieguduo powerful? The one who taught him how to use Tieguduo was Qiu Huiluo, the commander of the capital.
, he is from Shandong, right? Another example is Yan Ning, Gao Xin, Zhang Rong, Yan Shi and others, aren’t they all from Shandong?”
"So, we in Shandong are still a place where heroes come out. The Red Coat Army shouldn't get into trouble so easily... Marshal Yang An'er must have been framed by someone's conspiracy."
"It's taboo for you to say that. When the Navy is scheduled to send troops to sweep across Shandong, are you still on the side of the Red Coat Army?"
"Hey, the Red Coat Army is also a soldier of young men. Are you happy to see them bleed like a river?"
"How could there be a river of blood? You're probably not stupid!"
"Why am I stupid?"
One person lowered his voice: "The sister of Marshal Yang of the Red Coat Army, the one known as the Fourth Lady, knows our Commander-in-Chief. Did you know that Yang Aner was engaged to be married that day! Speaking of which, our Commander-in-Chief and the Red Coat Army
He’s the one who’s traveling all the way…”
"Fourth Lady? Is she the one with the unparalleled Pear Blossom Spear?"
Three or five people walked over noisily, their voices getting lower and lower, but they were obviously off topic. Moreover, they were running in a very wrong direction. They were obviously following the vulgar taste of the people in the market and started to move towards Guo Ning's privacy.
Guo Ning stood stunned on the watchtower. He subconsciously touched his waist and wanted to hit it with the golden knife he carried with him. He held the handle of the knife in his hand and held back. He deliberately did not look at the guard beside him who was suppressing a smile.
, and then walked down the ladder.
No matter how nonsense the people talk, at least they are very satisfied with the development of the Ding Navy, and are proud of the expansion and expansion of the Ding Navy.
That's good.
In this era, wars will only become more and more frequent, and the minds of the people are both subtle and changeable, and also very simple.
When their life was hard, they only thought about recuperating, planting a piece of land, eating a few mouthfuls of food, and living a good life. Guo Ning gave an order to accumulate grain widely and build walls high, so everyone was happy.
Before long, the people's lives became more comfortable, and the navy's propaganda was in place. They were easily incited to follow the flags above and be encouraged to expand territory or other goals.
Just like this, Guo Ning's expansion in Liaodong was also like Guo Ning's development in Shandong not long after.
Guo Ning will try his best to allow as many people to benefit from expansion and to coax more people into the rumbling chariots of the Ding Navy. In this way, the best way to calm people's hearts is victory itself.
Guo Ning came down from the watchtower and realized that the dusk was deep under the high wall.
The Jieshuai Mansion covers a large area, but in order to show simplicity to the military and civilians, there are not many lights in the corridors.
From the outer wall to the inner courtyard where Guo Ning and Lu Han lived, there was a garden. Guo Ning held a pine torch and walked through the gravel road between the gardens.
As soon as he arrived at the other end of the garden, he saw Lu Han bringing two maids and walking around from the corridor. Lu Han was out of breath and a little angry: "What are you looking at in the watchtower? I sent someone to ask you to eat."
I can't hear you; I came to find you, but you came down first."
"Oh, maybe I was distracted and didn't pay attention." Guo Ning laughed and said, "What are you having for dinner?"
"Freshly fried ring cakes and yellow chicken porridge!"
"That's good. I'm very hungry. Let's go, let's go!" Guo Ning walked ahead.
After walking a few steps, Lu Han asked from behind: "Is the fourth lady, Yang Miaozhen, really beautiful? Is there any story about your marriage?"
"Haha, haha!" Guo Ning saw sweat on his forehead and laughed twice, his mind spinning.
Guo Ning is very self-restrained in life, but after all, he is only in his early twenties, and sometimes he is very passionate when it comes to matters between men and women. When he dealt with Yang An'er twice before, he was very attracted to Yang Miaozhen, so he couldn't hide it from others.
.
Lu Han was Guo Ning's head wife. When they were in Changzhou, the two of them had shared joys and sorrows and depended on each other since childhood. The senior officers and men in the army all regarded each other as their mistress.
Because of this, no one wanted to die earlier and insisted on gossiping in front of Lu Han. Now, it was probably Lu Han who came to the watchtower to find his husband, and he heard rumors from outside?
Hey, this kind of thing is troublesome no matter how you explain it.
Fortunately, Guo Ning was very decisive and immediately responded: "I'm not as beautiful as you! There's nothing more to say!"
Saying this, he lightly bumped the wall with the arm holding the pine torch, and then yelled "Ouch".
When Lu Han heard his screams, he immediately forgot about his questions. He quickly put his hands on Guo Ning's shoulders and stretched his neck to see: "What? Are you pulling on the injured area again? But it hurts so much?"
When Guo Ning was fighting in Liaodong, he suffered several injuries, ranging from minor to minor, and he had not fully recovered until he returned to Laizhou.
Seeing her husband going through life and death and returning home injured, Lu Han was naturally distressed. In the past few days, she personally changed Guo Ning's dressing every morning and evening. This was due to her family background, and she might be better than the doctor who only knew how to administer strong medicine.
The official is more reliable.
The living standard in Jieshuai Mansion has improved a lot these days. Lu Han's figure has become plumper, and his eyebrows are thinner and his nose is more straight.
Because of the hot weather, she wore a straight-collared shirt scattered with jade. The shirt was very thin. When Guo Ning got closer, she could smell the faint fragrance coming from the depths of her neck.
Guo Ning's mind started to heat up, and he used his hands hard to pick her up across the waist and put her on his shoulders.
Lu Han was startled. She kicked Guo Ning, but she was afraid that the kick would hurt her husband, so she just lay down and shouted in a low voice: "Press your wound!"
The ring cake is made from oil. The yellow chicken porridge is really delicious and nourishes the kidneys.
