Since the first year of Zhenyou, rainfall has been insufficient from the Central Plains to Shandong, and this year has been the third year in a row. However, the political officials in Shandong are effective. The agency responsible for water conservancy under the Secretary for Civil Affairs has been paying attention to canal pigs since last year.
Water is the source of the fields. During this year's spring plowing time, although many children from military families gathered to send troops or train, the farming work in various places was not abandoned.
The ruling center of Ding Haijun is Yidu, and the longest-running territory is Laizhou, and then goes to Binzhou in the north, Juzhou in the south, and Mount Tai in the west. Now all of them have been included in the military household system of Ding Haijun.
.
When Guo Ning unified Shandong East Road last year, he promised that each of the military households and shade households under the control of Dinghai Navy would be given 100 acres of land. Now, the land belonging to the military households has generally been awarded, and the shade households have been slow to receive the land.
A little bit, but at least there is hope.
In this area, although the officials sent by the Jin Dynasty are still there, they have been ignored to a great extent. Although it is not their turn to intervene in local military and political affairs, after the establishment of the Xuanfu Envoys in Shandong, most of the officials took over the Xuanfu Envoys.
As a temporary assignment, he took on the title of experienced officer and was stationed in Yidu to assist in literary and ink matters.
There are some officials who are dissatisfied with this, and there are quite a few. But since the second half of last year, there have been rumors that Mr. So-and-so resigned from office, went boating to sea, and then was never heard from again.
This kind of news has been circulated more than a dozen times in a row. Other officials are not fools. Why don't they understand? The level of cooperation has improved significantly. Even though countless military and political measures of the navy are being issued one by one, none of them are in line with the rules of the court.
I just think that I am blind and deaf.
Since this year, all the original express delivery shops along the official road of Shandong East Road have also been cancelled, and all the manpower has been merged into the post system of the Recording Department.
With so many military prefectures on Shandong East Road, there is no trace of the existence of the Jin Dynasty anymore, and the soldiers and civilians in Shandong are also used to looking at the official road from time to time to see if there are any envoys from the Ding Navy who have brought them to the distant place.
News from loved ones.
On this morning, a cavalry team suddenly galloped on the official road. The smoke and dust stirred up could be seen from a distance. In the farmland beside the road, many people doing farm work quickly stepped through the trees and weeds beside the road and stood there.
View from the roadbed.
People with sharp eyes had long seen the triangular flags carried on the backs of the cavalry, and immediately shouted: "That's the envoy's servant! It's the envoy returning from Hebei!"
In the past two months, the Ding Navy has carried out large-scale mobilization, and a considerable part of it has been dispatched. The rest of the navy is on the highest level of war preparation and alert, and the people have seen it.
They have no idea about Ding Haijun's ambition to achieve hegemony. They only know that it is because the Mongolian army has gone south again and is fighting on Zhongdu Road. If the Mongolian army wins on Zhongdu Road, then the unlucky ones will be Hebei Road, and then
It is Shandong Road. The land that everyone has worked hard to cultivate will be trampled by war horses, and the food accumulated will be eaten or burned. Anyone who encounters the Mongolian army will be slaughtered mercilessly, and women will also suffer terrible
insult.
In this terrible world, countless evil people surround Ding Haijun's territory, and it's all thanks to Ding Haijun's Guo Xuanshi leading the soldiers to defeat them time and time again!
What will happen this time? Can the missionary win? Can our soldiers win?
Hearing that envoys from the north were rushing back, the people quickened their pace. The elderly people could not move their legs and kept shouting: "What did they say? What did they say?"
This cavalry team was indeed Guo Ning's followers. They galloped all the way, covering hundreds of miles a day, and reported to the soldiers and civilians along the way. By now, their mouths were dry and their lips were chapped. But seeing the people gathering, they were still proud.
The high-pitched sonar shouted:
"A great victory, a great victory. The envoys entered Zhongdu and defeated the Mongolian army!"
On both sides of the official road, the children of the military households who heard the news first cheered, and then other common people began to shout too.
It has been two years since Ding Haijun settled in Shandong. Before Ding Haijun arrived, Shandong was falling into irreversible decline. The people were so miserable that some were selling their sons and daughters. As for the mountains of corpses and seas of blood caused by the invasion of the Mongolian army,
, which intensified the process. After Ding Haijun established a foothold, it distributed land to the people, restored public order, provided culture and education, and developed mining and handicraft industries. Although all this had just begun, the soldiers and civilians felt that they were living a life they had never dreamed of.
A life that dares to be imagined.
And the young adults under the rule of Ding Haijun were constantly included in this huge system. They were either signed into the army and guarded outside; or they went to work in the mines and various workshops during the off-season; or according to the orders of Ding Haijun,
Every once in a while, they gather together to build roads, dig canals, build embankments, and build cities... Ding Haijun is so rich that the people are given money to do these things!
If you still feel that it is not enough, there are still bold and money-loving people who simply go to various ports to apply for recruitment and go to sea with the fleet.
As the Dinghaijun regime grew stronger, the regime's scope of interests continued to expand, with more and more people included and more and more families involved.
The future of these families is almost tied to the future of Ding Haijun. Most of them have witnessed the barbarism of the Mongols with their own eyes, so the sentiment of sharing the same hatred with the enemy has always been high. Especially the members of military families, they are looking forward to
Their sons or husbands can be rewarded for their meritorious service, but they are worried about their safety. Many people have not slept peacefully for a month.
At this moment, I heard the envoy's shout, and everyone's cheers were loud. People from another settlement behind the official road also heard it, so the envoy rode for dozens of miles, and the road was filled with dense crowds on both sides.
We have to let them report continuously.
Before the military report was delivered to the Dinghai Navy Center, it was not suitable to read it slowly here, and the messenger did not dare to slow down.
Although the people urged them enthusiastically, they could only repeat a few simple sentences: "The missionary fought a battle first and killed many Mongolians! He fought another battle and killed many Mongolians! The Great Khan of the Tatars only
Save yourself! Then the envoy entered Zhongdu City! In short, a great victory! A great victory! The Mongols have escaped, and no one can defeat our Dinghai navy! Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the road!"
Speaking of this, an envoy suddenly noticed that a little further away from the road, there was a girl with an oval face who was looking at her carefully. By chance, the envoy followed Guo Ning and often visited various places, so he happened to recognize this girl, so
He smiled and said: "Isn't that the young lady from the Wu family who raises horses in Guanqiao Town? Your sweetheart Zhang Peng has achieved military merit and will be promoted to the rank of general when he comes back!"
The girl's face turned red instantly, and many dolls were laughing and laughing around her, which made her feel shy and annoyed, and for some reason she started to cry.
Like a relay, the cheers quickly spread to Yidu Mansion and the headquarters of the Xuanfu Envoy in Shandong. When the envoy read the entire victory document word for word, there was also a roar in the official office.
The first ones to laugh were the many children of sacrificed soldiers who were raised by Guo Ning at home. These children were the first to jump up and wave their fists, followed by the guards and followers. The officials who gathered at the government office in advance
Try to maintain a reserved attitude.
Jing Anmin couldn't help but twitch his fingers and murmured: "There are so many dead and injured, how much compensation do we need? I wonder if Jin Qing can think of a way to carve out some of them!"
Xu Jin smiled and shook his head: "This Guo Liulang, he talks about building high walls and hoarding grain. He always accomplishes great things!"
Li Ting took two steps back and forth in the hall and said to Guo Zhongyuan: "This opportunity cannot be missed. We must immediately send troops to Hebei and capture the six states along the Cao River first! There are 15,000 regular troops assembled in Yidu Mansion. They will follow me tomorrow.
Let’s go! You are responsible for staying behind!”
Guo Ning and Monk Luo both went north, and the person in charge of Shandong's military affairs was actually Li Ting. Since he said this, neither Jing'anmin nor Yin Chang would object.
Guo Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment: "Transfer them all? I'm afraid that there will be trouble with Yang An'er's remaining troops and King Sui of Henan."
"How dare they!" Li Ting glared.
Guo Zhongyuan patted his forehead. Guo Xuanshi not only defeated the Mongols, but also controlled Zhongdu. In fact, he wiped out the entire Zhongdu Road. He was almost as powerful as Cao Cao, Gao Huan, and Yu Wentai of the Great Jin Kingdom.
The rapid expansion of the navy is just around the corner. Then the situation surrounding the naval regime will be very different from before!
Liang Chisheng, the chief of the Experience Department, took the military newspaper from the messenger and read it twice. This military newspaper was to be posted, so the text was mostly written in Li dialect; but because Guo Ning himself did not read much, he always required the correspondence to be in popular language.
It is easy to understand, so the writing is not profound. Liang Chisheng read a few of the sentences softly: "Ning is not talented, he has been serving the people for two years, and he has won a little bit of support; he has a hundred thousand soldiers, and he has not suffered any defeat."
Good literary talent, so domineering. I wonder if this is the handwriting of Chu Cai, or it is the hand of Du Shisheng; or maybe many literati in Zhongdu City took refuge in time? The implication in this text is not just praise.
In a battle, I, Mr. Liang, am so lucky to have caught up with such a time!
When Liang Chisheng thought of this, he wished he could have wings on his body, fly to Zhongdu, and be counselor at Guo Ning's side.
At the same time, people from countless settlements around Yidu have been rushing home one after another. Some people have used their accumulated money to sell wine. In some mines and factories, people working in some mines and factories are urging the security chiefs and chiefs to go.
The city invited a drama troupe to perform, especially those scenes in which Guo Xuanshi defeated the Mongolian army.
Since last year, everyone's life has been good. Not only are they hungry, but they also have some spare money. Now that Ambassador Guo and his soldiers have won a great victory outside, everyone is itching to take the opportunity to make a fuss and have some fun.
Such a situation is rare in Shandong. When Dai Jin won the battle, the people only knew about it, and there was no way to celebrate. Later, Yang An'er rebelled, all because everyone could not survive, and everyone naturally wanted to
There were more of them, but after several years of fighting, life only became more miserable, and gradually people became indifferent.
But now, in the core area of Dinghai Navy, the military households and shady households who are the core of Ding Haijun's rule do not hesitate to regard Ding Haijun's victory as a happy event for everyone. This may be thanks to the Mongols' burning, killing and looting.
Education has also proved that the saying in the military newspaper, "It takes two years to help the people, but it has won a little bit of support" is really not a boast.
