Guo Ning led his army to the north this time. His initial idea was to wander around the main battlefield of Zhongdu. On the one hand, he would contain the Mongolian army and ensure the safety of Zhongdu and Zhigu Village. On the other hand, in the name of King Qin, he would see if he could Whether to gain some benefits in the process.
But Guo Ning really didn't expect that the Jurchens were weak to an extent that they had never dreamed of, and the navy continued to invest more in making up for the Jurchens' weakness, and the final result was like this. He had been calling for two years. He built high walls and hoarded supplies, but accidentally entered Zhongdu himself.
Now that you have arrived, you must sit tight and retreat. Walking on this road, Guo Ning's steps do not represent his own. Take a step back and be humble, maybe there will be thieves gathering to rape the eagle. Yang and everyone following Guo Ning will all fall into the abyss and die without a burial place.
Therefore, it is necessary to build a domineering mansion.
This is not an easy task. According to common sense, when establishing a hegemony, one must be as thorough as possible, and even consider the lessons learned by hundreds of generations. However, this hegemony came so quickly and violently, and powerful enemies were still on the side. Although the Mongols suffered They were severely damaged, but they will attack sooner or later in three years and two years. It is not impossible that Genghis Khan, if he is full of domineering spirit, reorganizes the grassland in the blink of an eye and goes south to herd horses again this autumn.
Under such a situation, if Guo Ning wants to ensure his immediate advantage and then integrate Zhongdu, Hebei and other places, he must act quickly. If he wants to be quick, he must act according to the customs and minimize the setbacks in the process.
Several close aides of Guo Ning held closed-door discussions for several times, and finally felt that reestablishing the Marshal's Mansion from the early years of the founding of the Jin Dynasty was the most suitable choice at present, and it could also meet Guo Ning's need for military and political power.
In the past few years, because it has become a habit for emperors to appoint officials and make wishes, there are often several people holding the title of marshal or marshal in the court. Regardless of those people who have been defeated and died one after another, since this year, Gao Qi, the magic tiger in the court, has completely Yan Chenghui, Pu Sanduan, etc. all served as capital marshals, but they did not report to each other, and the number of soldiers and horses under their tents may not be larger because of this. As for the other scattered left and right deputy marshals, left and right army supervisors, and left and right captains, there were even more.
However, the importance of the position of marshal in the early years has increased tenfold or a hundredfold.
When the Jin Dynasty was founded, it rampaged across the world with an army of tens of thousands, destroyed the Liao Dynasty and defeated the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then gained control of the territory. Because the country was still in the state of a tribal alliance between white mountains and black waters, it was very barbaric and backward. It suddenly seized a vast territory and hundreds of millions of people. , the center cannot be managed at all.
Therefore, it is the newly established Metropolitan Marshal and his subordinate agencies that actually represent Dajin and govern the territory.
The first marshal of the capital of the Kingdom of Jin was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu. As the state prince, he was familiar with Banbo Jilie and Wanyan Gao. The second marshal of the capital was the most famous general of the kingdom of Jin. Laibo Jilie Wanyan Zonghan; Wanyan Zongbi, the third marshal of the capital, even held the central, local and military power in one person, and held a very important position.
The status of these three marshals is almost equal to that of the emperor, and they are the ones who can decide major military and state affairs. In the name of marshals, they sign military orders, appoint and remove officers at all levels, and launch wars. They are the military center of the Jin Kingdom. .At the same time, their Capital Marshal's Office can issue government decrees, select and appoint officials, and even take imperial examinations. It is the highest administrative agency in the Central Plains. Under the Marshal's Office, Yunzhong and Yanjing are managed by two deputy marshals on the left and right respectively. The Privy Council is an institution that specifically implements government affairs. It was once commonly known as the "Eastern Court" and "Western Court" among the people.
At this moment, Guo Ning proposed that Wanyan Chenghui be invited to serve as the deputy marshal of the Du Marshal's Mansion. Wanyan Chenghui immediately noticed that the key lies in the four words "Marshal Du's Mansion". With the Marshal's Mansion, the deputy marshal of the left is not just an honor.
title, and became the direct subordinate of Marshal Du.
Guo Ning is naturally the only candidate for the Du Marshal, and since he has opened the Du Marshal's Palace, he will definitely use the Du Marshal's Palace as a tool to manage military affairs without the imperial court; and then use the two privy councils of Zhongdu and Yidu as tools to manage military affairs, regardless of the imperial court.
The imperial court governs civil affairs. If you just wave your sleeves, you will wipe out all the power of the imperial court! In this way, the Jin Dynasty will have nothing to do with the Jin Dynasty, and the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty will become decorations!
It is said that Guo Ning comes from a reckless background and behaves unscrupulously, hence his nickname of Evil Tiger. Today, it seems that he expressed his thoughts so directly without any concealment, which shows that this person is not only evil.
Tigers are even more hungry tigers, their appetites are so big that they can swallow the sky!
However, the Jurchens were unable to object and had no strength to object.
Wanyan Chenghui's thousands of men in Tongzhou could not even deal with the subordinate troops on the Beijing Road. When the situation was most embarrassing a while ago, they had to rely on the Ding Navy to open up Lushui and transport food for support. If this army and the Ding Navy Headquarters
Against elite soldiers, chickens, tile-roofed dogs, and dogs are all insignificant.
As for the nobles in Zhongdu...
Wanyan Chenghui was even a little worried. The Jurchens who were in the abandoned hall at this moment must not have any of them jump out to object.
Guo Ning's Dinghai navy was founded in Shandong. Wanyan Chenghui served as the commander-in-chief of Shandong and knew how deep the hatred between the Han'er and the Jurchens there was. This may be retribution for the massacre of the Han'er when Dajin was strong. Shandong
When thieves and bandits are on the rise, they will hunt down the Jurchens, spare no effort, and kill them all at every turn!
Since Guo Ning started his army, he has been keeping an eye on Mongolia and rarely mentions the hatred between Han'er and Jurchens. It is said that he has many Jurchen officers under him, such as the deaf veteran whom Wanyan Chenghui was familiar with when he was in Tongzhou.
Wanyan Chen is now working for Ding Haijun in Zhigu Village. This is also one of the important reasons why Wanyan Chenghui does not want to break up with Guo Ning.
However, if the Jurchens seek death without knowing the importance of it, and offend Guo Ning here... If this evil tiger leaps violently and initiates a change in Heyin, will his subordinates from Shandong object?
Poor Jurchen noble stomachs in Zhongdu, they have withered a lot in the past few years; they were killed by the Mongols before, and most of them died tragically again. If Guo Ning does it again, I don't know how many famous families originating from Hun Tong River will never be seen again.
Exists!
Anyway, the Jurchens in Zhongdu City now have no ability to make trouble. All they have in their bodies is their mouths, and the skills of their mouths are only talking and eating. Guo Ning's meaning is obvious. If you speak well, you will have food; if you speak badly, you will have food.
, then there is no need to eat. In this case, how many choices does Wanyan Chenghui have?
He chuckled twice and was silent for a long time.
Guo Ning did not rush him, and he and Yizai Chucai beside him were talking and laughing by themselves.
After a while, Wanyan Chenghui said again: "The propaganda envoy asked me to be the deputy marshal of the left. I dare not disobey. It is just a cover for the propaganda envoy. Not everyone may be qualified to be a cover like me."
Well. However, the Privy Council of Zhiyidu seems to have a lot of authority. I'm afraid that I...ahem, I haven't taken over civil affairs for a long time, what if something goes wrong..."
Guo Ning laughed: "Sir, don't worry too much."
He pointed at Yi La Chu Cai beside him: "This Yi La Chu Cai, whose name is Jin Qing, is the son of Mr. Youcheng, the Minister of Finance. In the past few years, Jin Qing has been a key figure in our Ding Navy, and he will be in the future.
I have been appointed as the Privy Councilor of Tongzhi Yidu. With his help, I don’t have to worry about anything."
Yizai Chucai stood up with a smile and saluted Wanyan Chenghui.
Wanyan Chenghui returned the gift dumbfounded.
Well, I originally wanted to ask about the powers of the Privy Council of Yidu, but there is no need to ask now. With the deputy Yi La Chucai here, is there anything else in Yidu that I need to worry about?
The position of Privy Councilor of Zhiyidu is as much a pretense as that of Deputy Marshal Zuo. As a man in the middle, my treatment is not as good as that of Yuan Tianmu.
But the pretense is so glamorous and the position is so noble, how can you still refuse?
