Chapter 334 Rescue

At this time last year, Guo Ning and his soldiers sailed southward by boat. Firstly, because of the headwind, and secondly, the fleet and sailors also needed to adjust and adjust. The journey took a full ten days.

At that time, Li Ting vomited all over the sky, almost spraying bile to the roof of the cabin, and yelled several times on the way to jump into the sea. I heard that his subordinates had to tie him up on the small bed in the cabin, so as not to save his violent boss for three days. Two heads are demons.

Now the ships are heading north, and the wind is favorable, and all the ships in the fleet have been repaired, and the cracked planks have been replaced, and tung putty has been applied to all the cracks.There is no big difference in the short distance, but it is different when walking on the sea. It only took two days for the fleet to arrive in Fuzhou from Penglai, Dengzhou.

Li Ting has always had a deep brotherhood, and thinking of meeting Li Yun here and seeing the fruits of Li Yun's hard work in the past two months, he was extra energetic.

At this time, the fleet was leaning against the trestle bridge and the sailors were rushing back and forth, dropping anchors and sails, seabirds were flying high in the distance, and gusts of sea breeze blew by. Guo Ning lazily said, "Li Er, your ah-yun , Now he is the God of Wealth of our Navy. You rely on his hundreds of horses for food and clothing... So, after meeting, you'd better be polite, call Judge Li, and bow to him."

Li Ting let out a "bah", pressed the ship's side with one hand, turned over onto the trestle, and then staggered into the sailor queue, heading to the interior of the port.

When Guo Ning saw Li Ting's tired look of a young knight-errant in Zhongdu again, he only laughed a few times and ignored him.

Li Ting would not do this on a serious official occasion.

He and Guo Ning came together just to take advantage of the short-term stalemate in the Shandong war situation to see the situation in Liaodong on the spot and with his own eyes.This is a private action, and it doesn't have to be so serious.

Of course, according to common sense, Guo Ning has achieved the high position of Jiedushi, and he has a lot of weight on his body, even in private, it is not appropriate to move lightly.At least, there are so many military and political officials in the Dajin Kingdom, none of them are as frequent as Guo Ning, and they are always wandering around.

Previously, he threatened Mo Qishan with Qingqi, and he could still say that a man of high skill is daring, but now he brought a few personal guards with him, and traveled from Shandong to Liaodong on a sea ship... If the outside world finds out, that frivolous and reckless His evaluation will definitely spread again, maybe someone will curse him with this evaluation.

Guo Ning himself has heard of these four-character evaluations.

He has been reading history books recently, and he knows that the frivolous and aggressive evaluation was originally used to describe the little overlord Sun Ce in the Three Kingdoms period.At first glance, the truth is correct, Sun Ce was killed by the assassin because he was alone; therefore, it is not good to be too frivolous.

But if you think about it carefully, since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not been born to death, and who has not personally taken risks and experienced dangers?

Only Cao and Liu, who were at the same time as Sun Ce, were mentioned.When Cao Cao led the army in Xingyang, if he shot more accurately, there would be no later Emperor Wu of Wei, only a general Fenwu who died of recklessness, and his commander and force could not reach sixty; and Liu Bei went to Jiangdong to get married At that time, if Sun Quan had made a decision early, there would have been no later Emperor Zhaolie, leaving only the story of the lord who was bewitched by beauty and finally overturned his career, which will be laughed at by future generations.

Not only Cao Liu, but similar records abound in history books.

Hundreds of years later, how many times did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty face desperate situations when he charged into battle?When the Turks went south, Emperor Taizong rode six horses across the Weishui River, facing hundreds of thousands of people, and any Turkic nobleman among them raised his hand and shot, and the reputation of General Tiance would be wiped out, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would have to change again.

In the final analysis, frivolity or boldness are the result of the balance of the leader.If you succeed, you will have the reputation of being wise and martial. If you fail, you will die, and you don't have to care about how the future generations will splash dirty water.

But if you are afraid of danger and restrain your hands and feet, what kind of heroes are you, and what big things do you want to do?Confucian scholars have said that the son of a rich man can't sit down; it's better to be a Confucian scholar who finds chapters and quotes, try his luck, and see if he can survive in this troubled world.

Guo Ning came to Liaodong suddenly, so he naturally weighed it.

He has grown from a frontier army to a military and political leader. Although good winds rely on strength and the times make heroes, but his own construction has always been down-to-earth, and he dare not make any omissions.

With the expansion of the Ding Navy's strength and the expansion of its territory, Guo Ning can no longer do everything by himself, and has to continue to disperse power.He is still used to staring at all important matters in person, and cannot trust others.

Taking advantage of Shandong's advantage of being located between the north and the south and across the sea, it is a major event to develop commercial trade and enrich the strength of the Ding Navy in the shortest time.

The great policy of the Ding Navy is to accumulate food widely and build walls high.It is easy to accumulate grain widely, but there is a limit to the area of ​​land reclamation, and it takes time to produce and accumulate grain.As for building a high wall, it includes all aspects of construction. These constructions are extremely beneficial to the Ding Navy and will definitely be reflected in the combat effectiveness of the army.

To carry out the construction, a large sum of money and materials are needed.

Where did the money and supplies come from?

No matter how the three states of Denglai operate, they will be just a small corner of the land after all.To support the army, we can only rely on trade.Guo Ning made up his mind early in the morning to be the most greedy middleman between the Song and Jin Dynasties and even between the North and the South.

Guo Ning has land, soldiers, ships, and an official name, so the middleman can do it.After these recent transactions, Dinghai has made a lot of money, and everyone involved is beaming. The more this is the case, the more dependent Dinghai is on commercial profits, and the stability of business routes is more important.

Horses and furs are two major commodities in commercial trade, and they are also the source of huge profits. Guo Ning has high hopes for this.On the Liaodong side, due to the impact of the harsh climate after winter every year, only summer and autumn can be used to trade horses in the south.That's why Li Yun wrote to the military government, saying that he would go as far as possible into the Northeast inland to obtain a large and stable source of horses.

But since the [-] horses were transported to Shandong last month, Liaodong has not been able to make a follow-up business.Instead, they asked Laizhou for a lot of material and money, saying that they wanted to hire local people to build camps, roads, pastures, and cities.Not long ago, hundreds of elites from Zhang Qian's department were transferred from Shandong to station in Zhenfu.

On the military side, it is hoped that Liaodong will provide horses to ensure its own commercial interests.On the Liaodong side, they are always asking the military government to increase investment, which is a bit disappointing.Many officials in the Department of Civil Affairs were dissatisfied, thinking that after all, their side was based in Shandong, and wondered whether Li Yun had no distinction between priorities.

Guo Ning came here to see the situation in Liaodong with his own eyes, and to see whether the future Li Yun envisioned could be realized.

This is a really big deal, and it has to be seen clearly.

So Guo Ning chose Qingqi Jiancong, and Bailongyufu took the lead.

As for Li Ting who was accompanying him, it was a complete addition.

This fierce general, who led the troops to fight, had no battles to fight in the past few months, and was able to train excitedly in the first few months, so he has been too idle for a while.

He was born as a knight-errant and rascal, and there was an element of domineering and arrogant in his character.Since he was free, he took his cronies in brocade clothes and embroidered robes to swagger through the city every now and then, sometimes out of the city to shoot and hunt, and sometimes with his friends, he drank and gambled all night in the restaurants in the city, spending a lot of money.

According to the secret report from the Recording Department, it seems that he is not strict when he is on top of women, and he has caused troubles to be blocked in the boudoir by the bitter master.

Guo Ning was afraid that Li Ting would spoil the atmosphere of Laizhou by acting like a running dog, and he was also afraid that he would cause some big trouble and it would not end well.So a few days ago, he was specially summoned and asked, how about we go to Liaodong together, first to inspect, and second, to visit your brother?

Li Ting was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Therefore, the two brought dozens of cronies and boarded the boat to the north.

By the time Guo Ning landed unhurriedly, Li Ting had already disappeared in a hurry.

Guo Ning ordered one of Li Ting's servants and asked him to find him quickly.As a result, Jue never took a step, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the end of the trestle bridge with the wind.

"It's the voice of our General Li!" Na Jue's face turned ashen, "He got into an argument with someone, it seems... Hey, it's already fighting!"
