Guo Ning entered Zhongdu with elite troops and won the central power in three battles, including Zhongdu Road and Hebei East Road, with nearly 20 military states. The territory under his direct control was almost one-fifth of the Jin Kingdom at its peak. At the same time, he also
More than 100,000 surrendered troops were subdued, laying the foundation for subsequent massive expansion of military strength.
However, even in times of rapid expansion, the security of your base cannot be relaxed.
Although Shandong and Liaodong are still nominally the territory of the Jin Dynasty, there is the Song State in the south of Shandong and the semi-independent regime led by the remnants of Yang An'er and King Sui in the west; and Liaodong is full of foreign races, like a pack of wolves running in the wild.
Guo Ning suddenly gained the benefits of the center of the Jin Kingdom, and various places in Dajin will react one after another, and the powerful factions in many places may not be afraid of Guo Ning's force, and their reactions will probably not be out of goodwill. I am afraid that within a considerable period of time
, Shandong and Liaodong are both facing pressure.
Guo Ning himself must be stationed in Zhongdu for a long time to control the overall situation. The area actually controlled by the Ding Navy regime is so vast, but the two base areas have priorities, and their chief officers need the authority to make emergency decisions. It is impossible to be like before.
, all relying on the direct management of Guo Ning's military government.
So soon, three other appointments from the Marshal's Mansion arrived one after another, namely for Monk Luo, Guo Zhongyuan and Han Xuan.
In the document given to Monk Luo, the original defense of Shandong East Road was adjusted, and it was split into two directions: east and west.
The east includes the three prefectures of Deng, Lai, and Ninghai, as well as the three prefectures of Mi, Ju, Yi, and Hai obtained from the Red Coat Army last year. Guo Zhongyuan took over the post of Jing'an Min and served as the Jiedu of the Anhua Army and the Eastern Army of Shandong.
The manager of Madu.
The rest of the military prefectures were merged into the west. Monk Luo was stationed in Yidu, and as Marshal Zuo Dujian, he also served as the military commander of the Zhenhai Navy and the general manager of the military and horse capital in the east and west of Shandong.
In the east direction of Liaodong, the area directly controlled by the Ding Navy was still small. It was mainly instigated and controlled through the commercial system of the Qunmu Institute, so the territory was not divided. Han Xuan was promoted to the military governor of the Liao Navy for his contribution to killing the Mongolian general.
, the general manager of the Liaodong Military and Horse Capital.
After these generals have taken their positions, the military adjustments and appointments have been completed. The next task is to recuperate and stabilize the place. If there are no major changes, there may be military progress in the next few months.
One is in Jinshan north of Zhongdu, the other is in the Liaohai Corridor on Beijing Road, and the Dadingfu and Linhuangfu in Beijing are north of the corridor.
These two directions are also the directions that the generals need to work hard. After all, they have fought with the Mongols before, and they all have blood debts on their hands, and even have the blood of navy officers. Even if they are their masters on the battlefield, they must be thorough
When you change the court, you still have to show true sincerity, but there is no reason to sit back and enjoy the success.
If they perform well enough, Guo Ning will not be stingy regardless of official position or military power, which will just show his generosity and benevolence and his unquestioning demeanor in employing people.
If the results of the battle are not good, the two generals Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo will naturally follow. The two generals have made great contributions during the fight in Zhongdu. Although the headquarters has suffered heavy casualties and cannot bear the heavy responsibility for the time being, it will take half a year.
There is not enough time to restore the strength of the troops. When the time comes, it will be natural for them to either hold equivalent positions as direct subordinates of the Marshal's Mansion, or to take over the command in a certain direction as Jiedu Envoy or General Manager of the Army and Horses.
In short, the adjustment of the positions and tasks of key military generals was quickly completed. The entire Dinghai Navy's power gradually formed a large ring surrounding the Bohai Sea. This large ring is centered on Fuzhou, Zhigu, Denglai and other places along the coast.
As the hub; occupy Zhongdu in the north and restore the Jin Kingdom's old Yanshan defense line; use Shandong as a solid foundation in the south.
In order to further consolidate the inner circle connection of this large ring, Guo Ning followed the example of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty and set up the Coastal Institutional Envoy Department under the Marshal's Mansion. All ships, shipping and even ports from Liaodong to Shandong were promoted. The duties of the Coastal Institutional Envoy were
, temporarily held concurrently by Wang Shixian.
While a series of military measures were being implemented, adjustments to government affairs, and even control of the imperial court in Zhongdu, were also being advanced.
This kind of back-and-forth attack on the court is different from the drastic and decisive action when dealing with military affairs, and it is a bit difficult for Guo Ning. Fortunately, within Ding Haijun, this has long been a habit. The move to assassinate Chu Cai has always been comprehensive in government affairs.
He was responsible, and he was already familiar with the ways of officials in Zhongdu. With Du Shisheng's assistance, things progressed very smoothly.
In this process, Xu Ding, who had been doing a lot of grain business with Ding Haijun, was indispensable. Although he was famous for his ability in government affairs, he always regarded himself as a Confucian official. In the early days, he only sent his wings to work for Guo Ning. He claimed to be ill.
In order to prevent outsiders from talking loudly. When Wanyan Chenghui left Tongzhou and entered Zhongdu with Guo Ning, Xu Ding's illness immediately recovered.
However, Xu Ding rejected Guo Ning's proposal to promote him to a higher position, and still served as his Shangshu Right Prime Minister. At the same time, he served as a member of the Zhongdu Privy Council under the Du Marshal's Mansion. He partnered with him.
It was Yi Chucai and Liang Chisheng who both knew the affairs of the Privy Council of Zhongdu.
The Privy Council of Dajin was originally the system of the Southern Court of the Liao Dynasty, but later imitated the system of the Southern Dynasties and was responsible for the secrets of military equipment. For example, San Duan, an old Jurchen minister who is now the most prestigious in the court, was previously the Prime Minister Zuo and the Privy Council.
In name, both civil and military affairs are on one shoulder.
Guo Ning's Marshal's Office has been established, and the subordinate Privy Council is a purely civil affairs agency. According to the division of authority, the Zhongdu Privy Council is responsible for the government affairs of Zhongdu Road, Beijing Road and Liaodong, while the Yidu Privy Council is responsible for Hebei and Shandong.
.
Logically speaking, the Yidu Privy Council is naturally located in Yidu, so Wanyan Chenghui, who was the deputy marshal of the left and signed as the Yidu Privy Council member, quickly selected his own staff and went to Yidu to take office.
However, Yi La Chucai also served as a Tongzhi Privy Councilor in the two privy councils of Zhongdu and Yidu, and the other Tongzhi Privy Councilor who was stationed in Yidu was Du Shisheng. For Du Shisheng,
He had been working alone in Zhongdu for a long time, and he happened to go to Yidu to familiarize himself with the government affairs routine of Ding Haijun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And after Wanyan Chenghui arrives in Yidu, I am afraid there will be no official business to be busy with.
Within the framework of the Capital Marshal's Mansion, there are many general positions under him. Among them, Wanyan Chenghui occupied the left deputy marshal, and Pu Sanduan became the right deputy marshal.
Pusanduan is really a bit older. He was able to serve as Zuo Prime Minister and Privy Council before because everyone liked his old age, but he was not actually responsible for any military and political affairs. Now Guo Ning also likes him because of his old age.
Moreover, his son Pusanna didn't appear to be very smart. So not only did he become the right deputy marshal of the Du Marshal's Mansion, but he also received special permission from Guo Ning. He didn't have to come to work every day, so he had to take good care of his health.
.
There are also various important yamen, and officials from Shandong have been transferred to serve. For example, Liang Chisheng, Zhang Lin, Yang Chengzhi and others have all been promoted to high-ranking officials.
During the process, it was inevitable that some backlash would arise. At this time, Guo Ning's vicious reputation came in handy. Yizai Chucai and others often threatened, "If you don't get interested, you will report this matter to the marshal. At that time,
What is being fought is not a verbal or pen-and-ink lawsuit, but an iron-bone lawsuit. Our Marshal Guo comes from a rough background, and he likes to use iron-bone to talk things over.
A few days ago, a certain official from a certain Yamen insisted on confronting the envoy. Do you know his fate? Have you calculated the pros and cons clearly?
Guo Ning inevitably got angry at the large number of officials in Zhongdu City, and he did deal with a few clowns in his eyes. He didn't know that his reputation was being transferred to Chu Cai and used for intimidation.
.
Most of his energy was still devoted to military affairs. When he had free time, he would still patrol various military camps. Sometimes, if his hands were itchy, he would still call out a few warriors in the army to practice martial arts with him. But he clearly found that everyone was dissatisfied with him.
He became more and more respected, so he didn't dare to show his true skills during martial arts competitions.
When Guo Ning retreated from northern Xinjiang to Hebei, he fought with the Mongols again and again and rescued stragglers. The soldiers who were rescued looked at him with such respect. But at that time, how many people looked at him like this
?Ten or a hundred?
Later, he raised an army in Xijunhe, fought all the way to Zhongdu, and then established a foothold in Shandong. In the blink of an eye, the army was in a trance for several years, the territory became larger and larger, and his status became higher and higher. Looking at him with this look, with this
The number of people who treated him with respect increased and soon numbered in the thousands or tens of thousands.
Now Guo Ning casually walks around the military camp, and is respected and flattered by people everywhere, ten times more than before. He is starting to get used to it, but there are things that are really hard to get used to.
The respect and admiration of so many people made him uncontrollably develop a strong ambition, as if he had turned into a giant with the blue sky above his head, able to overlook the world and fiddle with the fate of hundreds of millions of people. But he also knew clearly that he
He was just a pawn who luckily escaped from the battlefield. With a big dream and some good luck, his fate suddenly changed.
Changing the destiny of one person still depends on luck; changing the destiny of hundreds of millions of people, will it be so smooth? What kind of difficulties will there be in the future?
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered two sentences: "It's like walking on thin ice when facing an abyss."
