Ding Kui had to return to Zhenjing to hand over the peace talks, step down as general to counter the rebellion, take charge of the Duke of the Protector, disband the Protector Army, etc. There were many things that required his personal involvement.
Once these things are done, he will slowly fade out of the world's sight.
"Can I participate in the pacification of Yinsha Island?" Shao Dianyong was already a prisoner and was about to be escorted to the clan prison, but he cared about his family and asked Ding Kui for help.
"I don't have the ability to let you go back to Yinsha Island, but I promise you that I will do everything possible to rescue your family. To this end, I have sent my best men to Yinsha Island." Ding Kui really couldn't help him.
"I don't regret dying, I must save my family!" Shao Dianyong had no choice but to pin all his hopes on Ding Kui.
For this reason, Ding Kui paid a special visit to Gui Jing and Zhe Taixuan. Due to the involvement of foreign forces, Gui Jing promised to let a small number of sixth-level combatants participate in pacifying Yinsha Island, and the Magic Federation would send magicians to assist in the battle.
The two rule magicians helped a lot. With magicians and level 6 combatants participating in the battle, the local army could also defeat the regular army. The three families of Xuanyuan, Yao, and Fan could use their full strength, and each family could dispatch four or five level 6 combatants.
The powerful ones, together with other small and medium-sized nobles, are sure to win this battle.
Because Ding Kui has such a face, the Shenkong Sect and the Shenfeng Sect are fighting over who is closer to him. As long as they do not violate the general principles, Gui Jing and Zhe Taixuan will turn a blind eye.
At the end of May, the general who suppressed the rebellion returned to the court with his troops.
The 21st Army Corps stayed in Hailin Prefecture, the 22nd Army Corps stayed in Linhai Prefecture, the New 16th Army Corps stayed in Xihai Prefecture, the New 19th Army Corps stayed in Haishan Prefecture, and all remaining troops returned to their original locations.
The troops in Linhai Prefecture could take the rail car directly to Zhenjing City, and part of the Eighth Army Corps and the National Guard Army set out with Ding Kui.
Ao Yu and Ding Zhong stayed and went to the West Sea to collect intelligence.
Compared with when they came, the troops taking the rail car only need to carry weapons, equipment and personal belongings, and do not need to bring food, grass, or consumable ordnance. Food and drinks will be provided at the stations along the way.
Local stations have specially dispatched personnel sent by the Government Affairs Council to ensure smooth flow of the returning troops.
In less than a month, Ding Kui returned to Zhenjing. Of course, it would have been much faster if he had traveled alone.
He personally escorted Shao Dianyong to the clan mansion, and took care of the situation, asking people to take more care of his "uncle".
No one else would have dared to do this, so he relied on his status as consort to take care of his wife's cousin, who was also the cousin of the current king.
They were a family behind closed doors. Shao Dianyong's crime was unforgivable, but he was not a man of many evildoers. He had led troops to fight against the Thousand Island Alliance, and at most he was handed over to Shao Dianhuan as a living sacrifice.
Yang Zhao's family was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice by the First Special War Battalion, where they basically could not escape death.
They were characterized as the main culprits of the conspiracy, suspected of assassinating the late king, instigating multiple regular armies to rebel, and instigating multiple regular armies to defect, etc. Each of these crimes was a serious crime, and not killing them would not be enough to make the people angry.
The general who countered the rebellion returned the gold seal and military talisman. He was originally transferred to the commander-in-chief of the staff, but the commander-in-chief could not accommodate the legendary knight, so Ding Kui had to be awarded the title of second-grade Duke of the Protector of the Country and served as the ninth elder of the Senate.
The Anguo Army and the National Protector Army have completed their missions and will be disbanded according to regulations. Only a small number will be retained to return to the noble territories and become local armies. However, before that, they must be inspected by the king and receive the cheers of the people of the capital.
More than 100,000 people entered through the north gate, gathered in front of the palace, presented trophies to the king according to the division's organization, accepted the king's congratulations, and then exited through the south gate and crossed the entire capital.
The capital city held grand ceremonies for several days, pushing the joy of peace to a climax.
The seven-year civil war caused the whole country to suffer a lot. No one was unaffected by the war, and everyone paid a heavy price.
Now that life has returned to normal, soldiers who have been fighting all year round can reunite with their families, the imperial court and local officials have the financial resources and energy to invest in people's livelihood affairs, and good times beckon in the future.
"Damn Yang Feng! You are disgusting people on Yinsha Island!" Ding Kui slapped the case and cursed.
Wow wow wow! Ding Dan next to me was scared to cry.
"What's the matter?" Shao Dianluan hurriedly walked into the room.
"That guy from Yangfeng actually claimed that he requested to join the Thousand Islands Alliance on behalf of Silversha Island! The Thousand Islands Alliance decided to send a special envoy to visit Silversha Island." Ding Kui was so angry that he tore up the documents in his hands.
"Look at how anxious you are. A legendary knight has no self-restraint at all. Hasn't Xuanyuan Xiong formed an army to rebel? He is currently renovating the ships of the West Sea Fleet and will be able to go to sea soon." Shao Dianluan followed.
Li Fei held Ding Dan in her arms.
Li Fei silently picked up the scraps of paper on the ground.
"The traitor is capricious and greedy for profit. I will kill him!" Ding Kui wished he could fly to the West Sea immediately.
"What kind of trouble can Little Yangfeng cause on Silver Sand Island? He will be wiped out as soon as the imperial army arrives. How can he dirty the hands of your prince?"
Shao Dian Luan stood opposite Ding Kui with his child in his arms, forcing him to withdraw his murderous aura.
"No! He is the mastermind behind Jingjing's murder. I must kill him." Ding Kui couldn't help but tell the truth.
Now Jiang Jing lives in Anguo Gongfu, and basically comes to greet him every day, but he can't stay too long.
"Oh! It's him!" Shaodian Luan understood clearly, "Does Gui Chongfeng allow you to take action?"
"It's almost time. The day Yinsha Island is destroyed will be the day when Yangfeng dies. No, I have to go and see. If the Thousand Islands Alliance interferes, Xuanyuan Xiong may not be able to conquer Yinsha Island." Ding Kui couldn't sit still at home.
live.
After returning from the South China Sea, he had been busy with his duties and had no time to practice in seclusion. Two days ago, he was still dealing with the replacement of the division commander of the Eighth Army.
The commander of the 71st Division poached Feng Liang from Gu Jun's subordinates and forced Zheng Yun to go to the 21st Army Corps as an apology.
The commander of the 72nd Division reluctantly sent Lei Feixiang, a commander-level general he had trained by himself.
The commander of the 73rd Division was better. He transferred Han Ruren because Long Yi was promoted to commander of the equipment department and did not give the new commander of the 19th Army any face.
This is only half the solution. Ma Zheng, Luo Tao, Shu Li, Xi Xiu and Qiao Meng all plan to retire. Half of the division commanders of the Eighth Army will be vacant.
However, the Commander-in-Chief's Office has regulations. The Eighth Army needs to replace two or more division commanders at intervals of three years, and no more than three at a time. The above ones must wait at least three years.
Shao Dianluan complained: "It's just a few days for An's birthday, and you have to go out again? You have to take me with you if you want to go."
"Aren't you kidding me? The princess of Fuguo is like a king. You can't leave the capital."
"I'll go." Li Fei, who had been holding back, suddenly spoke out.
"Don't curse, no! Don't make trouble." Ding Kui was really worried that Li Fei would hold him back.
Now the only person in the Ding family who can impress him is the eldest brother Qinglong.
"The children at home are still young, can't you be more peaceful?" Shao Dianluan forced Dingdan to her husband.
The biological one was locked up in a forbidden area, and she couldn't tell her the pain.
"Is this good? Let the king take charge in advance next year, and I will stay with you at home for a few years."
