Ding Cai sent the disappointed Gao Li out of the door. With a complicated expression on his face, Gao Li left with his son and servants. ?
A few days later, Jiang Mansion in the capital city.
Jiang Tongyi, who is in his eighties, has white hair, and is sitting in the study in high spirits, playing with a pair of balls in his broad palms. Next to him, the chief steward of the Jiang Mansion is reading a letter to him.
"You said my grandson wants to start a 'magazine'? How many writers are needed?" Even Jiang Tong, who has rich experience, doesn't understand what a magazine is.
"Yes, the urgent letter from Sunchuan did say so." Butler Jiang spread an animal skin on the desk.
The magic communication array of the Magician Guild can transmit Xiao Zhang's letter, but this kind of letter must be made of the skin of Warcraft. Only the skin of Warcraft will not be torn apart by the power of space.
"Do you know what this 'magazine' does?"
Butler Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure. It might be a book or a travelogue."
"The descendants of the Ding family are engaged in civil affairs. Haha, it's interesting. This kid is a bit quirky like Jie'er. Well, no matter what he does, I will fully support him.
Now this child has the blood of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family's incense is counting on him to continue." Jiang Tong put the ball in his hand on the animal skin and made a decision.
The Jiang family of Duke An was in an embarrassing situation. Jiang Tong himself had no brothers and had two sons and one daughter, but only one grandson. Unfortunately, this only grandson Jiang Qi died in the battle when Ding Kui was eight years old.
That year, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the General Staff Wang Deng led the Fourth Army Corps to garrison in Hexi Prefecture. Cao Qi's coalition forces raided Hexi Prefecture. Jiang Qi, the commander of the 38th Division, proposed and personally led an elite force to sneak attack the main tent of Qi State's Chinese Army and successfully killed Qi State.
The national coach Qi. However, in the chaos, Jiang Qi was hit by a cold arrow. The arrow was extremely poisonous. When he returned to the Fourth Army camp, Jiang Qi was poisoned and died.
Later, the crazy Wang Deng used the power of one legion to defeat the coalition forces of Cao Qi's two legions and won a great victory in the battle. He was promoted from the position of legion commander to deputy commander-in-chief of the staff.
When Jiang Tong learned that his grandson had died in battle, he turned pale the first night. The steward reminded his grandson that Ding Kui was half of the Jiang family. As long as Ding Kui changed his surname to Jiang, the inheritance of An Guogong's lineage could be continued.
From then on, Jiang Tong paid special attention to his grandson.
Shenyuan Continent believes that the bloodline of parents is equally important. If a grandson changes his surname, it will still belong to his own family, and it does not necessarily have to be the same as his father's surname.
Shi Heng agreed to Ding Kui's conditions without thinking about it. He also contributed money and effort, and was busy preparing for the "Yanhuang Magazine". He bought a three-story building on Rizhao Street, the most prosperous street in Heitu City, as the "Yanhuang Magazine".
Society's first headquarters.
Lao Qiantou returned to Xiaxi Town to discuss with Ding Kun and transferred ten ordinary-looking, smart and capable young people from Funiu Mountain. Two of them were Lao Qiantou's disciples, one named Qian Jun and the other named Lu Yang.
.
When Ding Kui took a break at the end of July, he found that the manpower of the magazine had basically been gathered.
Jiang Tong sent a strong team of editors for Mu Sen. His father was Mu Heng, the chief staff officer of the third elder of the Senate, and he brought three children from the Jiang family.
There are three types of scholars in Shaodian Kingdom. The first type is those who have attended a teaching workshop and passed the examination and graduated, which are called scholars; the second type are those who are selected by nobles to be talented among the scholars and serve in the aristocratic system, called selectors.
The third type is that the nobles recommend local officials from among their own members. Those who are selected and appointed are called recommended officials.
Above the recommended officials are the civil servants. Civil servants are official officials of the kingdom and all have formal titles.
Musen previously served as Mu Heng's assistant and was considered a recommended official. This time he was assigned to work beside Ding Kui and served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine. He returned to the status of a selector, which was equivalent to being demoted one level.
However, before leaving, Mu Heng told Mu Sen: "Elder Jiang has trained Ding Duhu as his successor. In the future, the position of the third elder of the Senate will probably fall to him.
This time I will fight for you to be sent to Ding Duhu.
You should work hard and strive to become his best assistant.
Even now, the right guard's staff still have the status of recommended officials, so you must not let down your father's hard work."
The three children of the Jiang family are all candidates, and they have all been trained in the Jiang family. After accumulating several years of experience, they can reach the level of recommending officials.
This time, in addition to bringing three candidates, Musen also brought a sponsorship fee of 100,000 gold coins from Jiang Tong to Ding Kui, which made Ding Kui extremely happy.
Ding Kui took the four new editors and the ten reporters recruited by the old money man, and ran to the "Royal No. 1" private room of the Mayflower Restaurant, where they had a big meal to cleanse themselves of these subordinates.
It's not that he has no money, but that his money can't be seen for the time being. With these 100,000 gold coins, he can squander it for a while.
Besides money and people, Ding Kui felt that the most valuable thing Musen brought was a piece of news, a piece of news about the war, and Shaodian Kingdom won a great victory.
The First Army Corps of Qi State originally stationed in Jiangdong Prefecture, because its troops were scattered throughout the prefecture, after learning the news of being invaded by the Shaodian Army, they did not dare to assemble, but defended the prefecture city and various counties and cities.
.
The Eighteenth Army Corps was stuck in Lanqiling for a whole month before retreating. The Seventeenth Army Corps seemed to be in an uninhabited country. When encountering a city with strong resistance, it did not attack but took a detour. It quickly swept through hundreds of Jiangdong Prefectures of Qi State.
After several cities, the Eighteenth Army was finally reunited and retreated to Hexi Prefecture.
This sudden battle lasted for about five days in Shaodian's country, with less than 40,000 casualties, but annihilated and captured about 60,000 Cao soldiers, killed and wounded more than 50,000 Qi soldiers, and another five
Thousands of prisoners.
They fought in the Qi Kingdom for about a month, and the battle losses were mainly concentrated in Lanqiling. The Qi Kingdom suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and Chu Kui's Eighteenth Army suffered about 10,000 casualties.
However, the farmland of more than 100 cities in Qi State was burned down, the affected area exceeded 60% of Jiangdong Prefecture, and countless properties were looted.
If it weren't for the limited carrying capacity of Shaodian's army, Qi State's Jiangdong Prefecture would have been emptied by half.
In order to prevent Cao's counterattack, the Secondary One and Secondary Corps recruited from Zhongwangzhou stayed in Yangyuan Prefecture for almost a month. After Chu Kui withdrew to Hexi Prefecture, the expedition ended and the entire army returned in triumph.
The one who gained the most from this battle was the Yang family, one of the nobles of the Shaodian Kingdom. Their confidant general Chu Kui led the expedition and won a great victory. Once a deputy commander became vacant in the five departments of the General Command, Chu Kui could enter the highest department of the Shaodian military, the Yang family.
His voice in the Commander-in-Chief's Office has become stronger.
In a battle with the 50,000-strong vanguard of the Qi State, Yang Hai, commander of the First Army Corps, personally led the cavalry into the formation, fought bravely to disperse the Qi State's Chinese Army, successfully divided the Qi Army, and fought a perfect battle of annihilation.
