Guo Ning has always been unruly, and he is used to using force to quell chaos and using force to suppress others. Since he controls Zhongdu, the forces in Zhongdu originally have no choice but to submit and have no right to bargain. The reason why he went out of the city to meet Wanyan Chenghui was
Because many military and political arrangements had been framed by this time, he was too lazy to guess and play with the Jurchens. He simply met the last powerful Jurchen faction in Zhongdu to see whether he would succeed or not, whether he wanted to die or not.
Life is just a matter of a few words.
Therefore, these Jurchen nobles in the city can send people out to inquire. If Guo Ning really doesn't want to see this batch of goods, most of these people will meet the robbers, and each of them will have their heads missing. How can they come to this restaurant?
Is it possible for Guo Ning to show his face in front of him?
Seeing that Yan Chenghui kept thinking, he frowned in dissatisfaction and cast a look at Yi La Chucai. Then he stood up and stood by the window to look at the turbulent canal.
But Yizai Chucai held his hand slightly, using the posture of a junior to urge Wanyan Chenghui.
In terms of the attitude of the imperial court of Dajin, Guo Ning and Yizai Chucai were different. Guo Ning always felt that under the splendid scenery, it was extremely putrid, with chickens and dogs all over it. Even if they were wiped out, it would be nothing.
It's a pity. But Yili Chucai is a descendant of generations of officials and a Confucian scholar. He hopes to maintain the existence of the system as much as possible and try to extract all available people from it for his own use.
In the eyes of Yili Chucai, Wanyan Chenghui was a talent available to the Jin court and a middleman between the Jurchens and the Dinghaijun regime.
When the Mongolian army blocked the Lushui channel, the scale of the battle in Tongzhou on the north side was no less than that around Zhiguzhai. The Bohai navy who attacked Tongzhou were themselves the elite troops of the Jin Kingdom on Linhuangfu Road and Beijing Road.
After surrendering to Mongolia, he was stimulated by the plunder and feared the harsh Mongolian military law, so he performed extremely fiercely in battle.
Because the terrain around Tongzhou is flat, the Bohai Navy used it as the main direction of manufacturing and using siege equipment. They used carts to carry soil to fill the moat, used rams to ram the city walls, and used catapults to release boulders.
The captain and other officers all personally took the risk of throwing stones, while the general held a long sword and supervised the battle. Anyone who saw not trying his best would be beheaded immediately.
At the fiercest moment, the last two strongholds outside Tongzhou City, Tonglu Pavilion and Luhe Shuimayi, were captured by the Bohai Navy. The two sides continued to fight hard day and night. The attackers forced the people, women and children outside the city to carry cloth bags filled with soil.
They filled the river, and Wanyan Chenghui personally directed the crossbowmen to shoot these people to death halfway. There were cries all over the city and below.
When the Bohai people attacked the city from several directions at the same time, Wanyan Chenghui sent out all the soldiers who had been with him for many years to stop the enemy. He himself stood at the south gate of Tongzhou, which is also the top of Caocang, and commanded, leaving only two people around him.
Servant. He also told these two servants that if there is any disharmony, I should commit suicide. If I fail to commit suicide, you must behead my head first to avoid falling into the hands of the Mongols and being humiliated. The short knife that I planned to use to commit suicide at that time is now
It was also hanging on the belt around his waist.
Three years ago, he had met Wanyan Chenghui when he was following his disciple Dan Yi in Zhongdu. Compared with three years ago, Wanyan Chenghui was obviously much older. He was originally tall and strong, with white hair but only his waist.
His back was straight and his speech was loud and full of energy. But now, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife or an axe.
Such a person is not a weakling, nor will he be forced by wealth and wealth to do things that go against his wishes. He is already sixty-six years old, half-body buried in the earth, having witnessed the rule of Emperor Sejong in his early years, and watching the country's power
It collapsed in the hands of the next three emperors. Could it be that what he valued was just the price of an official title given by a Han'er?
Wanyan Chenghui said slowly: "Mr. Jin Qing, I only have one question..."
What Wanyan Chenghui is worried about is that Guo Ning will continue to purge the imperial power in Zhongdu, causing another great chaos, involving all the Jurchens. So he wants to ask who will appoint his left deputy marshal. It is now
The emperor who lives in Prince Sheng's Mansion? Or the one who is about to be promoted by Guo Ning, a certain son of the emperor? Or even Guo Ning himself who has completely pushed aside the court system?
"It's the emperor."
Before he could ask his question, Yi La Chucai had already spoken out his answer.
"In the past few days, the palace has been almost cleaned up. As long as the princes in the court do not want to cause trouble, we will naturally respectfully invite the emperor to sit back on his throne. When I saw the emperor a few days ago, I felt that he looked bad, like
I have been frightened. From now on, since our envoys will be in charge of military and political affairs, the emperor can take care of his health and take care of himself. Of course, when it is time to issue an edict, he should issue an edict quickly, or grant our envoys full power, and do not delay what we have at hand.
Well, sir, if you, or someone in the court, cares about the emperor and is willing to accompany him to play chess or go fishing, that would be great too."
Yi La Chucai smiled happily, and Wanyan Chenghui smiled bitterly and felt relieved at the same time. In any case, the emperor's life was saved, and the Jurchens in Zhongdu City could continue to live as long as they did not seek death.
"That's very good." He left the table and stood up, saluting solemnly: "The last general, Wan Yan Chenghui, pays homage to Marshal Du."
When Wanyan Chenghui saluted, the many Jurchen spies behind him realized that the two parties had reached an agreement, and they all bowed down one after another. Some people's minds suddenly became dizzy, because they were wearing casual clothes, and they actually used the Jurchen method of cupping their hands and shaking their elbows.
The salute of throwing a tantrum was immediately replaced by a low-pitched command from others.
Wanyan Chenghui followed Guo Ning back to Zhongdu that day. Once his figure appeared, many places that had been vaguely hostile to Ding Haijun disappeared without a trace, and many government offices in the city suddenly opened.
Everyone was working, and everyone seemed very positive.
A few days later, the emperor returned to the palace under the escort of brothers Wanyan Xielie and Chen Monk. On the same day, he summoned the Hanlin scholars and issued two decrees to the Central Capital:
A decree was sent to Shandong as the Xuanfu envoy, and Guo Ning, the naval military governor, was appointed to bow his armor and stomach. In order to determine the country's great achievements, Guo Ning was promoted to the minister Zuo prime minister, the marshal of the capital, and the opening ceremony of the three divisions.
The other way, citing floods, droughts, military disasters, etc., blamed himself and announced that all military and state affairs would be entrusted to Guo Ning.
With these two decrees, Guo Ning's integration of Zhongdu and Hebei suddenly accelerated.
Guo Ning felt that he might as well put it aside for the time being, such as appointing officials and making wishes. The most critical thing, which needed to be integrated first, was of course the military.
In order not to arouse the doubts of the generals who wanted to surrender, Guo Ning did not move the Beijing Road Affiliated Army that surrendered after the war in Zhongdu, or the old Zhongdu Army recruited by General Zhang Rou, Miao Daorun when he captured Zhongdu. Including Shi Tian
In response, generals such as Yelu Kechou Baer and Li Shouzheng still commanded the old troops, and according to Guo Ning's prior arrangements, they were stationed in various important places around Zhongdu.
This situation will not last forever, and the necessary control and integration will begin sooner or later. In the past few days, Guo Ning's personal guard leader Zhao Jue has recovered from his injuries on the battlefield, and Guo Ning first divided half of his personal guards into officers.
, and then mobilized nearly ten thousand elite troops from these soldiers and horses on Zhongdu Road and Beijing Road, established a new army, and handed it over to Zhao Jue to lead.
The area controlled by these soldiers and horses ranged from Jinshan Mountain in the north of Zhongdu to Zhongdu itself. Zhao Jue's new position was to be the military governor of Wuding Army and the general manager of Daxing Prefecture's military and horse capital.
His task was very heavy. He had to monitor the emperor internally, and control the many fortresses north of Zhongdu externally to ensure the safety of Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu. Therefore, in addition to the general manager of the capital, Guo Ning sent two more deputy generals to assist. The two are respectively
Zhang Xin and Shi Tianni.
Zhang Xin joined Guo Ning very early and was talented. However, because he had listened to Zhang Rou's instigation earlier and planned to add sand to Guo Ning's Xijunhe camp, he came with impure intentions, so he never became Guo Ning's true direct descendant.
After this scene in Zhongdu, he was seriously risking his life to achieve military success. Moreover, Zhang Rou himself had become Guo Ning's subordinate. Some things were not easy to care about in detail, so he took up the post of deputy envoy of Jiedu, which was better than the original march.
The improvement of control was upgraded by two levels, which made him smile happily.
As for Shi Tianni, he once served as a soldier for ten thousand families under Muhuali's tent. His family is located in the states south of Zhongdu Road. It is said that there are more than forty Qingyue societies, each with a thousand strong men. Shi Tianni
With tens of thousands of brave men and women serving as volunteers, and his brother Shi Tianxiang as the vanguard, they had a very strong fighting capacity.
A figure like him, whose own strength is no less than that of a Jiedushi like Zhao Jue, is used as Zhao Jue's deputy. Many people don't know why. In fact, this is what Shi Tianni himself requested.
He personally told Guo Ning that his younger brother Shi Tianze had said that the Qingyue Army was just an army to protect the countryside, and only by following Marshal Guo could we see the army that conquered the north and south and conquered the world. So not only himself, but also Shi Tianxiang wanted to
The Wuding Army was thrown into the army, and as for the original Qingyue Army, they could be divided and arranged as desired by Guo Xuanshi.
Guo Ning laughed loudly after hearing this, and let Shi Tianze live in his handsome mansion, where he practiced literature and martial arts with many young people.
