"Everything is as you wish. Brother Cai should be in Captain Fan's camp now." Bai Yun understood.
"People who are running around for the country can't even take care of their families. However, there are villains in the court who are enjoying the benefits. A strong king must come to change everything." Ding Kui said in a rare statement.
There were not many people in the Zhongjun tent. They were all Ding Kui's confidants. Anyone could discuss anything they wanted without any taboos.
"Do you think Shao Dianyong is strong enough?" Fei Ze was the only one who dared to talk on this topic.
"He didn't even dare to attend the funeral of the late king, but you, the puppet of the Yang family, have nothing to do with him." Ding Kui said with a hint of contempt.
"He is not, and neither is the Prince Regent, so who is?" Fei Ze raised the question cautiously.
He didn't guess what Ding Kui was thinking. There was no way it was Shaodian Feng who was underage. There was no one else in the royal family.
"Uh." Ding Kui was asked.
He saw the shortcomings of the imperial court and came up with solutions, but there was no ideal candidate.
"You can't be the king by yourself," Bai Yun said half-jokingly. In her eyes, Ding Kui was powerful enough.
"No!" Everyone in the tent answered together, and even Gong Le, who had been silent, expressed objections.
"The Shaodian clan has a profound heritage and a solid foundation. It cannot be replaced by other clans. Think of the Yang family, the number one family in the country. Even if you have a rebellious heart, you can only choose the Shaodian clan to assist you. If the master wants to be the king, that will be a recipe for disaster.
." Fei explained his reasons.
Gong Le then explained: "What Mr. Fei said is absolutely true. Foreigners who covet the throne of the king will be destroyed. There are too many people abroad who oppose it."
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I meant that you can be the Prince Regent." Bai Yun realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Ding Kui's eyebrows twitched.
"This is a bit reliable." A new window suddenly opened in Fei Ze's mind.
People who are very close to the king are eligible to serve as prince regents. They are usually direct relatives. If there is no such person, the most noble person in the family can be chosen.
There is priority for parents, children, brothers, sisters and husbands, but it has never happened in the history of the kingdom that a person with a foreign surname became a regent.
"The Senate has already recognized the current monarch, so how could it be changed to the eldest princess? It's still impossible." Gong Le thought for a while and understood what Bai Yun meant.
"Stop! You are off topic, don't discuss this!" Ding Kui slapped several cases with his palm, making a snapping sound.
"Have you finished counting the number of knight guild members gathered in various cities these days?" He forcibly changed the topic.
"Two hundred and twenty people, and thirteen defenders of Chunlu Bay Water Village." Fei Ze immediately answered.
"The defenders of Chunlu Bay Water Village? What are their names?" Ding Kui thought of his former neighbors.
"The leader's name is Liu Tong."
"Oh, it's him." Ding Kui remembered the dark-skinned Qin Bing captain.
You must know that many people in Qiannu Camp were sent by Liu Tong. Without this person, the development of the Red Army to protect the country would not be so rapid.
"Hurry up and call him here. I'll ask about the fall of the water stronghold. He can prove that you are lying."
Chunlu Bay Water Village was attacked by land and water, and few escaped. Our army announced Jiang Rong's body, and Shaodian Kingdom learned that the leader of the water village had died in the battle.
After Liu Tong escaped from the tunnel, he fled to Dongxiong City to report the news. He originally planned to resist his own army in Dongxiong City, but Dongxiong City was quickly captured by our own army, and he had to flee all the way to the west.
Because he shouldered Jiang Rong's mission to find Ding Kui and tell him about the secret passage, he did not leave Nanqiu County and hid in Tibet with a dozen wounded soldiers, and finally found the Xixuan City camp.
"Commander Chiang is a model for our army!" After listening to Liu Tong's narration, Ding Kui learned that Jiang Rong died heroically in battle. "You just stay in my camp to recover from your injuries. We will need your efforts to recover the water stronghold in the future."
"I am willing to die for Lord Ding!"
Ding Kui frowned slightly, knowing that Liu Tong had a death wish, how could the captain of his own soldiers survive after the general died in battle? If it weren't for leading the way to find a secret passage, Liu Tong would have gone with his own army desperately.
"You should rest first. Mr. Fei, please draft a final report for Commander Chiang. I will forward it to the Commander-in-Chief's office on your behalf."
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Tong left with tears in his eyes.
Ding Kui helped Jiang Rong fulfill his wish, and also announced Jiang Rong's heroic deeds to the world. As the commander of the water village, he fought until the last moment and completed the mission assigned to him by the military.
"Order the local knight troops to go to Jizhou City immediately. Do whatever you like there. Try to attract the enemy's attention. If you can't defeat them, run away. Don't fight the enemy head-on. Return to the camp in two days."
Ding Kui sent out more than 500 knights to harass Jizhou City, plus 2,000 eager men to harass Huatong City. It made people feel that the Eighth Army was ready to move, intending to cause trouble in the south of Nanqiu County, ostensibly to avenge the Kong family army.
The Shaodian Army completely suppressed their own troops in the scout battle. Jizhou City and Huatong City were in turmoil for a while. The guards of the two cities were suspicious. With Pang Qingri as an unlucky example, they did not dare to send large troops out of the city, so they had to mobilize magicians day and night. Patrol and report to the theater commander at the same time.
On this day, after Jiang Xi presided over the expedition ceremony of the 201st Division, he returned to the base camp headquarters and asked: "I seem to have seen Ganyou, what is he doing here?"
Sun Jianing handed over a document and said: "He has been here for a few days, and he should be here for this appointment letter."
"Han Ruren, captain of the 8th Battalion of the 74th Division, Fu Dun's original position?" Jiang Xi laid the document flat on the table after reading it.
"Yes, Han Ruren, female, thirty-one years old, fearless knight, from Juyang City, no knight guild resume, no military experience, no experience in the armed forces." Sun Jianing introduced Han Ruren's information in detail.
"We want a new recruit to be the captain. Han Ruren's information is so clean. I've never heard of Kui'er having such a number one person." Jiang Xi remembered all the people around Ding Kui who were at level four or above.
On the surface, he didn't care much about his nephew, but in fact, he inquired clearly. He knew all the information the Jiang family had, and also knew some information the Jiang family didn't. As the commander of the war zone, Ding Kui asked Shao Dianxi for help. He knows about Jingjia.
"It is said that Qianyou brought it to the base camp a few days ago. It should be arranged intentionally by the prince. Sir, won't you sign?"
"Wait a minute, we can't send all the good ideas to the Eighth Army. A 31-year-old fearless knight with no military background. My 50,000 new recruits must be led by key officers." Jiang Xi stroked his beard and deliberately pried the corner of his nephew's wall. .
"But the 74th Division is missing a captain." Sun Jianing did not expect that his master would fight for love.
"They are fine without a division commander. What are they afraid of if they lose a captain? Any veteran in the Eighth Army can serve as the captain. This Han Ruren will first serve as an acting captain in the new barracks and train with the 203rd Division. Say it's my order!" Jiang Xi directly appointed a recruit captain.
Qian You was dumbfounded when he heard the news, "What? I represent Ding Kui's wishes."
"I'm sorry, that's the coach's order." Sun Jianing said he was helpless, and Ding Kui couldn't beat Jiang Xi.
"Is there still such an operation? How can I go back to report?" Qian You had dealt with Jiang Xi and was once detained at the war zone base camp.
"Actually, it's quite easy to get along. Han Ruren is now the captain, and he has been favored by the coach. His future prospects are limitless. The prince has a captain's establishment, and the coach has a legion establishment, no matter what Han Ruren is from Juyang City, and this will never change." Sun Jianing tried his best to enlighten Qianyou, but Jiang Xi did something unreasonable.
What else can Qian You say? Ding Kui has to admit that Jiang Xi's words are more effective than the king in Nanzhao Prefecture.
Sun Jianing comforted Ganyou before returning to the headquarters. When he walked to the door, he met Han Ruren who came out. The two nodded to each other as a greeting.
"Qianyou has gone back." He asked Jiang Xi to tell him.
"Hmm. Han Rujian is extraordinary in temperament, knowledgeable, and has the air of a general. He is definitely not from the common people. How could he be from Juyang City?"
"Perhaps she is a child of the ancient nobles recruited by the prince. Because she is willing to join Juyang City, she is arranged to serve in the army."
The ancient aristocrats Sun Jianing mentioned refer to the families that were once aristocrats in ancient times but have now declined to common people. Many of them have appeared in Shaodian Kingdom's more than 4,000 years of history. He is even one of the ancient aristocrats himself.
"It's possible!" Jiang Xi also agreed, "I asked her, she is a young man who has the heart to serve the country and is very patriotic. He is worthy of a big responsibility.
Let's do this, you can make a new resume for her. She has served in the Knights Guild of Giant Sheep City for ten years and joined the recruit camp as an instructor."
"Are you sure?" Sun Jianing was afraid that he had heard wrongly or that Jiang Xi had acted on a whim.
This kind of resume means qualifications. He is fully qualified to be a regular army captain. With backstage support, he can also serve as acting division commander. As long as the staff department nominates a name in the new year's general-level officer assessment, and then goes through a formality, it is cold. Ruren can legitimately serve as the division commander.
Jiang Xi replied with certainty: "That's it! I will arrange the procedures at the staff department. There are still more than two months to evaluate the general officers. Who dares to stop me from wanting a division commander spot?"
Thanks to Kui'er for reminding me that a division commander can find a solution for his subordinates. As the commander-in-chief of the staff, I have the establishment of a legion, and I am still restricted by the quota of division commanders. This is a failure."
"No problem, my subordinates must do it flawlessly. The prerequisite is the cooperation of the Crown Prince." Sun Jianing could produce the documents, but he needed testimony from Juyang City.
"He will cooperate. He can figure it out whether he wants a group leader's follower or a division leader's follower. Hehe, I can use my nephew's follower as well. It can also help Jingjing find a supporter. ." Jiang Xi thought more than Ding Kui.
He saw many advantages in Han Ruren. The division commander in his twenties seemed not stable enough, but he who was over thirty years old could suppress the officers and soldiers below him. His cold appearance had the majesty of a general, which easily aroused awe in the officers and soldiers. He is familiar with military tactics and strategies, and has inheritance experience, which is something that low-level officers cannot possess; he has absolute strength, and fighting qi skills, sword skills, and marksmanship are not commonplace, and it is easy to establish a sense of superiority.
