Today, Zhongdu City has increasingly highlighted its military role in facing the Mongols, so Guo Ning chose to release an elite Wuding Army as the spearhead against the Mongols, and to monitor Zhang Rou, Miao Daorun, and Shi Tianying on the spot.
Waiting for the various troops and horses.
However, the spearhead alone is definitely not enough, and it cannot be without the cover of the flanks.
Soon after, Jing'an Min, who was originally serving as the military envoy of the Anhua Army in Shandong, was recalled to the north and returned to Zhuozhou, where he had founded his business for many years. He served as the military envoy of the Yongtai Army and the commander-in-chief of the military capital west of Zhongdu.
The task of the people of Jing'an is to stabilize Zhuozhou and Yizhou to the west of the central capital, and rely on the connections and reputation accumulated over decades to restore control over the densely populated Tangluo, Xiong, Bao, Sui, An, Ansu and other states.
control.
Such a task was exactly what Jing'anmin wanted, so Guo Ning didn't need to give any more support. He only sent two of Jing'anmin's old subordinates, Hao Duan and Ma Bao, as deputy envoys. For other things, this group of people
Lao Jianghu has plenty of solutions.
After the Battle of Zhongdu, the east and west routes of Hebei that were originally in the hands of Pu San Anzhen immediately fell apart. Taking advantage of Guo Ning's stay in Zhongdu, King Sui of Kaifeng Prefecture took the opportunity to expand his influence, and his general Wan Yanhe
Da led his troops north to Ci, Ming and other prefectures, and once stationed in Julu. Guo Ning didn't care about this. After Zhongdu, the power of the Ding Navy was already swallowing the whale. Since it was a whale, there were fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles from the south.
If he can escape through the cracks in his mouth, can he still stop the shark from coming to take a few bites? His territory is large enough, and it is important to control the key points.
What is the key to Hebei?
It is not the abandoned mounds and ruins that could not recover for ten or twenty years after being swept by the Mongolian army, but the Yuhe River that connects many water systems in the north, directly to the Zhanghe River, the Yellow River, and across both sides of the Yuhe River, with Jingzhou as its center.
The prosperous land of six states in the center.
Ding Haijun's remaining troops stationed in Yidu immediately dispatched after receiving the news of Guo Ning's victory and took the six states directly. The leader of the troops was naturally Li Ting.
Li Ting led his troops of ten thousand people all the way northward, dispatching elite cavalry to raid all directions along the way. The Jurchen Meng'an in Hebei were plotting to defeat the army. They had previously remembered that their envoy San Anzhen and Guo Ning were allies, but he never thought that Ding Haijun would suddenly fall out.
?
Most of Meng'an Mouke's elite soldiers were mobilized by his servant Anzhen, and the soldiers and horses left behind were no match for Li Ting. And Li Ting was really ferocious. Meng'an Mouke who bumped into Jurchens along the way dared to
Those who resisted were immediately attacked. After the settlement was taken, all men, women, and children were killed without mercy. After killing people, their heads were hung on flagpoles, and they followed the army bloody, intimidating them along the way.
This method of killing those who dared to resist was first used by the Mongols. Li Ting thought it was very useful, so he learned it. He is a murderous maniac, and how can he defeat Meng'an everywhere? Therefore, he sent troops and horses
It only took twelve days to penetrate the six prefectures and join Qiu Huiluo and Wang Shixian's troops stationed at Yijin Pass in Bazhou.
These two troops had previously fought against Genghis Khan's Qie Xue army, resulting in heavy casualties. Later, the elite troops among them were drawn out and killed in Zhongdu. The remaining troops of the two troops were actually lightly and seriously wounded, so they had Guo Ning's permission.
, the soldiers recuperate here, and by the way, they can enjoy the benefits sent by the wealthy and dependent families from various places, so that they can live a more comfortable life.
At first glance, when Li Ting's soldiers arrived, the two general managers were overjoyed to leave the camp, arrange local supplies, and invite Li Ting to a banquet.
Of course, you can't drink wine randomly, just touch it on your lips.
Previously, those unlucky guys in Zhongdu were drinking and sleeping with women, but they were bumped into by Marshal Guo and were immediately severely punished. Their dejected condition on the road was seen and questioned by other soldiers, and they couldn't help but cry, and Ding Haijun
The soldiers all felt sad when they heard about it. However, the military law was ruthless and there was really no one else to help.
When they passed through Bazhou, Wang Shixian advised them to return home quickly and not lose face on the road. He was soft-hearted and promised them that he had friendship with the officials in charge of Qunmu Station, and if they were really ashamed to be farmers, he would
Just ask for them, Qun Mu has no chance to make a difference.
Wang Shixian talked about this at the banquet and praised Guo Ning for his leadership in Zhongdu. Li Ting said: "Li Yun from Qunmu Station is my brother. How could these thieves not know this? They also encountered our army on the road.
, why don’t you come and beg me?”
Wang Shixian laughed: "When you march, you often use hundreds of human heads as a guide. The blood in your chest dyes the road red. Who dares to touch this bad luck?"
While we were chatting, the guards outside the tent reported urgently, saying that the marshal had issued orders, and that the three general managers, Li Ting, Wang Shixian, and Qiu Huiluo, were all aware of it.
The three men rushed out of the tent to receive the order. It turned out that Guo Ning had heard that Li Ting was going north and sent someone to urge him to gather the stragglers from Hebei along the way, and then select the best among them to slightly supplement the losses of Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo.
From a military perspective, the Meng'an Mouke Army in Hebei was established by Pu San Anzhen. Its scale is similar to the military household system established by Guo Ning in Shandong, although the most elite group has already
They were killed on the battlefield in Zhongdu, but the rest of them are better than ordinary farmers. After signing into the army, with a little training, they can fight. Even if they can't become a regular soldier, they can just be an Alixi who works with the army.
.
From a political point of view, since Guo Ning, a Han'er, controls Zhongdu, it is impossible to continue to allow the Jurchens' Meng'an conspiracy system to exist in Hebei. Even this group of Jurchens themselves must be dispersed as soon as possible and included in the Han'er's army.
It would be better to assimilate with Riga. After this battle, Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo each had thousands of vacancies, which just happened to break up the Jurchens' Meng'an conspiracy and make a small supplement.
After reading the order, Wang Shixian was a little worried: "Li Erlang, you have killed the Jurchens in Hebei again. Are you afraid that the hatred will be as deep as the sea? In this way, how can the Jurchens be used?"
Qiu Huiluo frowned and nodded: "Thousands of Jurchens have joined the army. It is difficult to control them."
Li Ting rolled his eyes.
He chewed up a piece of mutton leg meat, including the tendon, and swallowed it. The soup dripped from the corner of his mouth. The guard next to him quickly handed over a towel, and he wiped his mouth: "You two, follow me.
Just a trip?"
The two of them didn't know why, so they followed Li Ting to his camp.
Li Ting, armed with a golden sword, clapped his hands and said, "Call all those Muke who are accompanying the army!"
Not long after, dozens of people who looked like Jurchen leaders cautiously stepped forward to pay their respects.
Li Ting pointed at them and said to Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo: "I came up from the northeast of Shandong and defeated several Men'an plots along the way and killed a group of people. There were also some who were clever and fled with their families in advance, probably
I am going to join the Kaifeng Mansion. The rest of them are of no use to me in following the Jin Dynasty. I don’t mind changing my family to make a living! I’m not a fool, how can I kill people indiscriminately?”
He raised his voice and shouted: "Listen up!"
The Jurchen leaders were all attentive.
"My Guo Xuanshi defeated the Tatar Khan in Zhongdu and caused the Mongolian army to flee in embarrassment. The Mongolian army suffered numerous casualties. Therefore, he is now the capital marshal of the imperial court! The capital marshal gave orders, and the Jurchens in Hebei were defeated in Meng'an. From then on,
there is none left!"
There was a commotion among the Jurchen leaders, and Li Ting continued: "All of you will be included in the shade house under me, Li Erlang, from now on. Those who know how to farm will farm the land from now on. The soldiers under my command, Li Erlang, will not bully you."
But if there are those of you who rely on your talents and bravery and think they can fight with Marshal Guo, we can also use them! Therefore, you all have to draw troops! According to the old rules, one from every five men will be drawn, and all of them will be included in the army of General Manager Wang and Qiu.
Under the steward’s command!”
As soon as these words came out, the Jurchen's face became earth-colored.
These people all moved from the northeastern hinterland to Hebei in the early years of the founding of the Jin Dynasty. It has been almost a hundred years now. Speaking of good times, their ancestors have indeed lived a good life. But since the day Jin Dynasty fought with the Mongols, every year has changed again and again.
Over the past year, all the Jurchens who signed an army to go north never returned, leaving orphans and widowed mothers struggling to survive, reduced to abject poverty, and some died of cold and exhaustion every year.
For decades, the Jurchens at the bottom have lived a hard life, no different from Han'er. However, Han'er still has anger and hatred, and there is something to support them. What do these Jurchens at the bottom have? They have neither the ability to fight nor the
If you don’t have motivation and don’t know the reason for fighting, how can you be willing to fight?
Therefore, after Pusan Anzhen gathered the entire Men'an Mouke army in Hebei, he had great ambitions. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the army was not as good as he thought. And if these Mengan Mouke who stayed behind were strong and full of fighting spirit,
He won't surrender to Li Ting immediately.
After a long time of fussing, these Jurchens turned to Li Ting again. Some wanted to beg for mercy, but only heard Li Ting's cold voice: "You guys, there are always seven or eight thousand strong men. I will be free in the next two days."
, set up security troops for you, count the people, and record them in the books. In ten days, those who should sign the army will meet at Yijin Pass in Bazhou. Anyone who fails to do so will be killed!"
This Li Erlang kills without blinking an eye, he can really do it!
The Jurchen people hesitated for a while, and finally did not dare to resist. Thinking about it carefully, it is not particularly terrible to draw one from the fifth...
Many people looked at each other several times, and an old man asked expectantly: "I heard that if you follow Guo Xuanshi, oh no, Marshal Guo will be given acres of land when he fights in the war? Do we Jurchens also have it?"
"Mom, you guys want to eat this shit! The Han people have fields, each family has one hundred acres, but the Jurchens have no acres to divide, nothing at all."
"Nothing at all?"
Everyone just felt that they had been struck by lightning. Meng'an Muke was going to be demolished, and the military war would continue as usual, and there would be no benefits on the land... They all said that there must be many Shandong people in the navy, and they had a deep hatred for the Jurchens.
Do they want all the Jurchens to die?
A group of people worked hard to follow Li Ting's troops here. Some people saw the disobedient Mou Kejun stronghold being completely slaughtered. They suppressed their sorrow and resentment because they just wanted to get a promise so that everyone could continue to live.
Going down?
Is this the result? You might as well kill us all!
Some strong men in the queue couldn't bear it anymore. They clenched their fists subconsciously, and the veins on their arms burst out.
The Ding navy officers around him saw that something was wrong and gathered around him, drawing half of their swords to intimidate him.
Li Ting still sat relaxed and looked at them and sneered: "Don't you understand what I said? From now on, there will be no Jurchens in Meng'an in Hebei. The rule I have set is that only Han'er who joins the army can divide the fields.
Divide the land! I don’t understand, how can you people, all of you with Han faces and speaking Han language, become Jurchens?”
Everyone present fell silent.
Half an hour later, Li Ting, Wang Shixian, and Qiu Huiluo returned to the banquet. Qiu Huiluo found that the wine and meat had gone cold, and called the cook repeatedly to reheat them.
And Li Ting said proudly: "Isn't this the end? It's neat and tidy, very good! Let them change their names, then break them up and assign them to various units. After two or three years of military rations, who will return?
Remember that you are a Jurchen? Hey, so what if you remember? Once you are used to Han'er's ways, no one is willing to go back! Lao Wang, you are an ancient Wang who can speak Chinese, do you like that ancient Wang on the grassland?
The King of Peking?"
Wang Shixian shook his head repeatedly and pointed at Li Ting, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Two days later, orders from Guo Ning arrived in Zhongdu City, appointing Li Ting as the military envoy of the Ying Navy and in charge of the Hebei East Road Military and Horse Command.
