A question from Shaodian Luan made Ding Kui go back home and ask his grandfather to learn about the situation in Shanyuan Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture.
How great it would be if all state pastors were like Shaodian Run!
"I have been away from the First Army for a long time. The state pastors of Shanyuan Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture have long been replaced. Even if I know them, I can't influence them based on the ancestral teachings. How to recover them is up to you." Jiang Tong's bottom line is not to interfere with the throne.
dispute.
Jiang Li was also influenced by his family's ancestral precepts and had been fighting the rebellion of Anguo in Zhongwangzhou. He did not publicly support Ding Kui and his wife in establishing a small court.
The royal family hates nobles who support infighting within the same clan. Once such a family is found, it will attack with all its strength. The Yang family in the rebel camp seems to be in good times, but once Shaodian Yong secures the throne, the Yang family will be the first to be attacked.
.
Ding Kui's situation was a bit special. There were only a few members of the Ding family, and the one who wanted to compete for the throne was ostensibly Shao Dianfeng, but in fact it was his son. The royal family couldn't find a suitable target if they wanted to retaliate.
The main structure of the Hengfu City Magic Tower has been built, and the rest is all detailed work, and can only be completed by magicians.
"The portal is now the busiest one besides the Southern Demon branch." Ruan Xingzhu introduced it to Ding Kui.
Li Fei had a substitute job and often went to Nanjing City to listen to politics behind the curtain, so she had to leave the magic tower to Ruan Xingzhu to take care of it.
"Most of it is for my own people and I can't make any money." Ding Kui had no intention of making any money from his own people.
"Master will definitely punish you when he hears this. How can the magic tower be used to make money?" Ruan Xingzhu seemed to have read through Ding Kui's thoughts.
"I am a common man and have no other pursuits. Wouldn't it be nice to make a little money while you understand the magical world? Magicians who rely solely on other people's support are only supported by the royal family. Aren't the magicians who follow the army destined to make money?" Ding Kui said.
Agree with the concept of pure magician.
"No!" Ruan Xingzhu hurriedly explained, "The military magicians assist the military in guarding the country and protecting our kingdom."
"Let's not discuss this anymore. When will the tower protection array be completed?" Ding Kui didn't want to talk about the reality of magicians in the magic tower.
The magic tower can release a huge magic array, big enough to protect a city. Of course, there are other attack and auxiliary magics, but usually the tower protection array is created first, and then the other magics are perfected.
"It's still early. The tower protection formation requires Senior Sister Li and me to build it bit by bit. If others can't help, it will take at least half a year."
The large array inside the magic tower is best constructed by one magician, and not more than two, otherwise it will cause mental conflicts and cause chaos in the large array. The crystal ball that controls the array has long been in the hands of Li Fei and Ruan Xingzhu, and she
The two's mental powers can reach a balance and live in peace at the key points of the formation.
"Half a year, well, it went by very quickly. Thank you for your hard work." Ding Kui casually gave away a piece of wind jade.
"I have enough, let you practice on your own." Ruan Xingzhu saved money for her husband like a little daughter-in-law.
"Take it!" Ding Kui said with a serious face, "If you spend so much time on the magic tower, you will definitely delay your magic practice."
"But my mental strength has been tempered." Ruan Xingzhu accepted Feng Yu aggrievedly.
"You said that Master Gui can't reward me with any treasures. The core disciples of the Shen Kong Sect want me to help train them." Ding Kui stared at Gui Jing, but there was no honor in his eyes.
"I heard that he went to Lu State." Ruan Xingzhu blinked his eyes.
"Oh, no wonder, I have to leave. The shopkeeper of Shaodianguo of Lu's Chamber of Commerce is looking for me. He has already arrived in Nanjing." Ding Kui knew about this yesterday and deliberately delayed his presence. Now he heard that Gui Jing was behind his back.
If there is action, then he has to deal with it.
When he was in his own country, Lu Xi got a promise from Ding Kui that the small court would not make any small moves against the Lu Chamber of Commerce. After Lu Xi returned to his country, he asked his father to show more goodwill. This time, the great shopkeeper of Shaodian Kingdom came with goodwill.
.
Ding Kui's conquest of Nanzhao Prefecture meant that he controlled half of the resources of the Great Swamp. The Lu State could not turn a blind eye. Moreover, the goods produced in Nanqiu County had become best-sellers loved by various countries in the Shenyuan Continent. The Lu Chamber of Commerce needed to represent Ding Kuiming's new gadgets.
Son.
The embargo on related goods cannot continue. Ding Kui's strength has increased significantly, which is enough to pose a threat to Zhenjing City and Xingbang City. Nanjing City and Zhenjing City must be treated equally and return to the purpose that the Lu Chamber of Commerce has always upheld.
Of course, Ding Kui needs the sales channels of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, so that he can quickly accumulate wealth, meet his need to expand his military strength, and also help him recruit more places and forces.
Under Ding Kui's instruction, Musen launched comprehensive negotiations with Shaodianguo, the head of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and both parties were willing to normalize relations.
"Fandong Temple, the First Infantry Regiment of the National Defense Army has invited you. I hope you can serve in the First Infantry Regiment after graduation. Of course, you can also consider other regiments. The military academy will write an application report for you." Zhong Wei met with the military academy one by one.
Graduates, enlistment counseling.
Fan Dongci replied without hesitation, "The students are willing to go to the First Infantry Regiment."
"Yes." Zhong Wei nodded with satisfaction, "I heard a rumor that the National Guard Army will be transferred to Yangyuan Prefecture. You have a chance to go home and take a look."
"Really?" Fan Dongci looked happy, "The student would like to ask if Shen Fansheng can also join the infantry regiment."
"You should know the requirements of the National Protector Army. It is difficult for people with insufficient strength to be reused. Shen Fansheng does not have special talents. Joining the infantry regiment with you is not a good choice." Zhong Wei knows the National Protector Army very well and knows it well.
The characteristics of each student have more say in this matter.
"Oh." Fan Dongci was a little disappointed. He received a letter from home. His wife hoped that he could take more care of his brother-in-law. If he was not assigned to the same army, there would be nothing he could do.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about him. He can go to the army of his choice."
"Ah? Which legion does he want to go to?" Fan Dongci always thought that his brother-in-law was willing to follow him.
"Eighth Legion, he will become a glorious squad leader."
"Eighth Army Corps! Be a squad leader? Isn't the lowest rank from a military academy a squadron leader?" Fan Dongci understood but didn't understand.
Shen Fansheng had been beaten by members of the 10th Army Corps, which had always been regarded as a great shame and humiliation. Fan Yuzhen, who originally encouraged him to join the 74th Division, wanted to join the elite army so that he would not be bullied in the future, but he couldn't understand becoming a squad leader.
"The Eighth Army Corps is not an ordinary army. The threshold for entry is very high. Only those who have meritorious services and have been rewarded are eligible to be transferred. Under normal circumstances, students who have just graduated from the military academy are not accepted.
However, you also know that during the siege of Nanjing City, the Eighth Army suffered heavy losses and was in urgent need of replenishment. It just so happened that Shen Fansheng was willing to lower himself to a lower level and enlist in the army, and the other side also agreed.
For this matter, I went to Ding Cai specifically and asked Ding Cai to put in a good word for him, and finally got the signature of the staff officer of the 8th Division." Zhong Wei emphasized that it was difficult for the Eighth Army to enter.
It is indeed difficult to get into. If the 80th Division had not suffered too much battle damage, Qiao Meng would never recruit fresh graduates. He would rather select squad leaders from veterans. He is really no worse than Shen Fansheng.
"Thank you very much, principal!" Fan Dongci knew that Zhong Wei didn't have to help, "Brother Cai really took care of me. In the future, students will thank him in person."
"When you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. Sometimes Ding Cai has more cards than me. You will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be polite to him." Zhong Wei joked.
Fan Dong Temple now knows about the relationship between Fan Yuzhen and Ding Cai, and is willing to see the Fan family have a good ending.
There was a special student who directly found Ding Kui.
"Oh? Uncle Gong wants to go to the National Defense Army. That is my private army reconstruction. Maybe it will be changed back to a private army in the future. Please think about it again." Sitting opposite Ding Kui was Gong Wei.
This special student stayed in the military academy for three more months, focusing on learning new weapons and researching new tactics. It seems that he was attracted to the National Defense Army.
"Yes, I believe that the National Defense Army will be a first-class military force in the future, no less than the Eighth Army. Whether or not it will be converted back to a private army is a matter for the future. Being able to command such an army is my wish."
"I have to remind you that the purpose of the Protectorate Army is to uphold the will of the Protectorate and defend the Shaodian Kingdom. Moreover, the first division of the Protectorate Army has no shortage of commanders. The second division is being formed. Are you sure you want to go to a unit with no actual combat experience? ?"
The Second Infantry Division has a full strength of 10,000 men and has three infantry regiments and a cavalry brigade directly under the division. It has one fewer special operations regiment than the First Division. Most of the soldiers have never been on the battlefield.
"In the past six months, I have been studying the tactics of the National Defense Army. I have found that many tactics do not require the soldiers' actual combat experience. The Second Infantry Division can definitely grow on the battlefield. I have confidence." Gong Wei did not say this casually.
As soon as he entered the military academy, he was attracted by all kinds of new weapons. Infantry commanders love long-range attack weapons. If used properly, they can reduce the combat losses of the troops, help improve continuous combat capabilities and maintain the integrity of the troops.
The Protectorate Army can be said to be equipped with the most powerful destiny attack weapons in the world, and all soldiers must pass the assessment before becoming regular soldiers. They have a certain ability to resist interference on the battlefield, and even new recruits have strong combat effectiveness.
The new military camp in Tunchang County today is very different from the new military camp in the Hengfu City period. The people who fled from Zhongwangzhou, plus the people from Nanmao State who successively submitted to the small imperial court, have greatly improved the quality of the soldiers and become more complete. More efficient training meets the needs of recruits in each legion, which is also the source of Gong Wei's confidence.
"Since you have already thought about it and are so confident, I can't find any reason to refuse. OK! I will hand over the Second Infantry Division to you. I will arrange for officers above the battalion level to meet with you the day after tomorrow." Ding Kui believed in Gong Wei's ability.
Zi Liubo has a good background, strength, education, and military experience when he was young. He is qualified to serve as a division commander. Moreover, there is really a shortage of people at the moment. Ding Kui really can't find a more suitable candidate, let alone protecting the country. The army is about to leave for Yangyuan Prefecture. Please make a decision as to the commander of the second division as soon as possible so that we can leave early.
"Report!" Ding Ji, the new commander of the soldiers, came outside the door.
He is Xiang Ji. After he decided to become Ding Kui's personal soldier, he was willing to join the Ding family, so he was given the name Ding Ji by Ding Kui.
(Thank you to Dongmen Zisi for being so mysterious, reading a lifetime of books, and being unable to stop giving rewards.)
