Guo Ning returned to his tent and worked as usual.
Looking at the time, it was already the curfew time, and the post-war tidying up was almost completed. But because the whole army was very happy, the military law was extra lenient and allowed the soldiers to relax.
Just a moment ago, Wu Xu, who was in charge of counting the seizures, led his officials to find dozens of jars of wine from the baggage left by Pusan Anzhen's headquarters. Guo Ning also specially approved the military order to distribute all the wine.
Moisten the throats of the soldiers.
The soldiers all know that Guo Ning is not good at drinking, and hates the situation of overindulgence and drunkenness. Therefore, only Lantern Festival and Chongwu are allowed to drink in the army. If there are any celebrations, even on Guo Ning's wedding day, only a meal is added.
Pork and mutton dishes are served, and alcohol is not allowed.
Even if you go out to camp to drink during the holidays, you should not get drunk and cause trouble. Once you are targeted by the Recording Department or the Military Justice Department, your family's tax-free land may be reduced by a few acres.
For an army of tens of thousands, dozens of jars of wine were divided into each soldier's mouth. It was only a sip, and the taste rolled into his stomach. Rather than saying how delicious it was, it was better to say that Guo Ning used this to express his gratitude to the soldiers.
The soldiers paid their respects and shared a little joy with everyone.
Now he looked outside the camp gate, and sure enough he saw pine torches burning brightly, and noisy noises coming and going. Everyone understood what benefits this victory brought, so except for the soldiers on guard duty, everyone
They were all chatting and laughing.
Guo Ning himself has always been calm. At this time, he continued to review several documents and arranged various subsequent affairs. His handwriting was not messy at all, and there were no unnecessary words.
Zhang Shengzhi and Wu Chu, who were accompanying the clerk on official duties, looked at each other. They both felt that the handsome man was deep and restrained and had a great ambition. He was really a man who could achieve great things.
After a while, Guo Ning piled up the documents and files, knocked them on the desk, and handed them back to the two officials. Zhang Shengzhi and Wu Chu took them and exited the tent.
Then Ni Yi stretched his head outside the tent door.
"You all should go to bed early."
Guo Ning waved his hand, went to the back tent, blew out the lights, and lay down with his clothes on.
He lay there for a long time, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Across the tent, you can hear the voices of the soldiers talking and laughing in the distance. Guo Ning understands better than anyone why the soldiers are happy and what they are looking forward to. He is also convinced that after this battle, he will have an absolute victory.
Power delivers on these.
Previously, the Dinghai Navy was just a small shell under the raging tide of the deep sea, a candlelight in the storm. Guo Ning knew that when many huge forces competed with each other, just a few waves could roll up the Dinghai Navy, which was like a small boat.
Into the bottom of the sea.
He tried his best to show his tyrannical force, intimidating all parties at every turn, and fighting with powerful enemies. In his heart, he was trying to cover up his loose foundation, being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
But after this one, the situation is different.
During the Taihe period, the entire Shandong East Road had 1.03 million households and nearly 7 million people. Even if it suffered from repeated disasters in recent years, it still maintained at least a million or even more than 2 million manpower, and there were also
Huge output to match.
This will bring a steady stream of financial and military resources to Guo Ning. According to rough estimates before dispatching troops, the total amount will be more than twice that of the three Denglai states. The two Liaodong states are barren, let alone insignificant.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of Dinghai Navy gained a future and benefits through victory, which will attract countless soldiers and civilians on Shandong East Road to actively move closer to Guo Ning, allowing Guo Ning to easily establish an increasingly large military and political system.
This situation is a bit like a snowball. Everything Guo Ning has done before is like making the snowball bigger and compacting it. From today on, the snowball will roll, getting bigger and bigger, and becoming more and more unstoppable.
Guo Ning once fought bravely alone and almost died at the hands of Xiao Xiao; he once led a dozen people in a desperate struggle amid the overwhelming army; he once commanded hundreds and thousands of people, dealing with all sides and fighting fiercely against powerful enemies.
But now, the power he can control has far exceeded before, and his confidence in confronting powerful enemies has also far exceeded before.
In this world, the strongest enemy is nothing but the Mongolian army.
The prodigy who reigned on the plateau had a thunderous reputation, a fierceness that could stop children from crying, and an invincible record of victory. In Guo Ning's great dream, he and his successors also set off an unprecedented...
The monstrous sea of blood.
All of this was once like a heavy stone, pressing on Guo Ning's chest, making him unable to breathe. Under his fierce appearance, he always hid a fear that seemed to suffocate him.
But now, Guo Ning can finally say to himself that there is nothing to be afraid of.
So far, Genghis Khan has been in the army for half his life, and he only has hundreds of thousands of herdsmen under his command. The troops he can mobilize are at best a hundred or a thousand households. And I, Guo, have gone from a frontier to a regular army in two years.
As the lord of the ten states in Shandong, he has millions of Han soldiers and civilians!
How about a fight with him?
Guo Ning felt his heart beating so hard that he couldn't help but get up, hold the iron bone flower lying beside the bed, and give it a heavy meal.
The next step is to take drastic measures. Remember, there is endless fun in fighting with others!
The next day, the main force of Ding Haijun was divided into several groups, some going to Binzhou, some to Dizhou, and countless light cavalry sent out in all directions. Guo Ning personally led the main force to continue westward, directly into Jinan.
Thousands of miles around, dozens of prefectures and counties, countless people saw the Red Coat Army being torn apart. The Hebei Jin Army rolled up their flags and fled far away, and then bowed their heads and surrendered. Those flags representing the Red Coat Army, or the generals who were awarded military titles by the servant San Anzhen,
The flags fell one after another, and the cities finally returned to the rule of the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy of the Jin Dynasty.
But most smart people soon understood that the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy of the Jin Dynasty was just a title. No matter what the court thought, the entire Shandong East Road would have the surname Guo from now on.
The huge Shandong Province has been in turmoil for decades, and the local situation has its own complications. Starting from late September, sporadic small forces have continued to cause trouble.
Some of them did not care about life and death, taking this as a good opportunity to rise, and raised their troops to expel the officials sent by the navy. Others simply used their previous conflict methods with the imperial court or the Red Coat Army, thinking that they could use this to expand their influence.
Rural control.
In fact, most of these people are just outsiders. If Guo Ning is willing to keep them, he can just show his noble hand and forget about it, and they will go along with the situation. But Guo Ning is not lenient. Instead, he continues to use various pretexts to attack these small forces and even the local villages that are connected with them.
The noble gentry put pressure on them, and if they tried to resist, they would immediately send troops to crush them.
Such a move was ten times more ruthless than the rebels, but Ding Haijun was wearing the hat of the imperial court, while Guo Ning was still a serious Xuanfu envoy. Even if he killed people, he would kill them with confidence, for the sake of peace and prosperity for the common people.
In just ten months, Ding Haijun divided his troops into several groups and carried out attacks back and forth. Monk Luo, who was left behind in the three prefectures of Denglai, also mobilized troops to cooperate with the town defense troops under Jing'an people to clean up every village and community and eradicate those who tried to hinder the movement.
Things between the military government and the grassroots.
At the beginning of October, Guo Ning returned to Laizhou with his troops.
Xu Yan got a summary document on the way. He was accompanying Guo Ning. He immediately opened the document and reported it directly.
"Following Jinan Prefecture and Bozhou, the dissatisfied people in Dizhou and Binzhou have all been designated as rebels and the suppression has been completed. According to the previous order, all those who gathered more than a hundred people were beheaded, and a total of sixty-six people were beheaded.
They were divided into seven counties and their heads were hung for public display. The wealth they received has been transferred to the military government. There are more than 1,400 acres of land left over, which can be allocated to military households."
