"Very good!" Ding Kui raised his hand and shouted, "The first brigade has been assembled. Captain Xue is invited to review!"
"The first brigade is assembled, please review Captain Xue!" All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison.Ww W.

Xue Chong stood like a rock in front of the queue, looking at the pairs of excited eyes, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, "You are all good!" He choked and said, "You are worthy of being the elite troops of Shaodian Kingdom.
My good comrades who have fought side by side with me, I will always be proud of you!"
"My subordinates will always be proud of Captain Xue!" the First Brigade shouted in unison again, and no one was needed to direct them at all.
"In order of rank, salute Captain Xue one by one!" Ding Kui gave the order and was the first to beat Xue Chong's chest with his right hand.
Except for the 8th Squadron stationed at the Yongsheng Base, the members of the 1st Brigade at the Juyangcheng Military Camp took turns saluting and hugging Xue Chong one by one. No one was impatient because the process took too long.
The First Battalion recruited new recruits after the Battle of Zhenbeiguan. Ding Kui would solemnly tell the history of the formation of the brigade before the new recruits entered the camp. As the first brigade captain in the history of the brigade, Xue Chong's name was naturally mentioned repeatedly by Ding Kui.
Emphasis is placed on the recruits to remember it.
"Captain Xue regards each of us as his brothers and sisters, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect everyone on the battlefield. From now on, no matter where we see Captain Xue, we will always regard him as our commander." Ding Kui said deeply to Xue Chong.
Bowed.
Xue Chong quickly helped Ding Kui up and said: "It's good if everyone has this intention. Xue is already a civilian and it is inconvenient to be like this in the military camp. Captain Ding, let everyone disperse."
"No, you have to call me Ding Kui."
"Okay, Ding Kui, give the order to disband the troops."
"Yes, everyone listens to the order and disbands!"
Ding Kui waved his hand and dismissed the first brigade, and Feng Liang and other squadron leaders immediately surrounded them.
"Captain Xue, as soon as you left, they always scolded me, saying that I made them think of you." Xue Sheng was the first to grab Xue Chong and complain.
"Okay, I see you enjoy being called 'Captain Xue', and you really think you are the captain." Feng Liang said sarcastically.
"Haha, don't worry, follow Ding Kui and you will become the captain one day." Xue Chong comforted Xue Sheng.
"Okay, Team Xue will sit in my room first, and the others will take their teams back. Ding Yu, let the kitchen prepare dinner on the playground, follow the best standards, and everyone is allowed to drink." Ding Kui knew that he was surrounded by people.
I didn't know how long it would take to keep chatting, so I quickly dispersed the crowd.
Entering Ding Kui's room, Xue Chong refused but had to sit down and said: "Actually, I have received your letter a long time ago, but I haven't been home for several years. I will go home first and take a look, and I will visit Pingzhong County by the way.
I feel guilty for failing to protect the families of the fallen soldiers."
Ding Kui shook his head and said: "I don't agree with this. There are no immortals in a war. Besides, we are a newly formed army. It is a good thing that there are so many brothers alive.
Many people believe that when the kingdom is invaded, soldiers should go out to fight the enemy. But how many people have considered that soldiers will sacrifice themselves? What will they think when they encounter this kind of life and death choice?
Your Majesty went to Meng as a hostage for several years in order to quell the war. Between personal honor and disgrace and the well-being of thousands of people, your Majesty chose the latter, so I think this war can be avoided."
"Being a soldier is rewarded by the kingdom and supported by the people. When the country needs us, life and death must be ignored. If we do well, we can win a big victory at a small price, just as you will do in the subsequent wars.
That's very good. I didn't die on the battlefield and I am already blessed by the God of War. When I have the ability, I will try my best to fulfill the last wishes of my deceased comrades." Xue Chong's view was different from Ding Kui's.
"Then you should be able to see what I mean. Most of my comrades are buried on this land. I will buy some properties here so that family members who are willing to come can stay close to their relatives."
Ding Kui put away his emotion and got down to business.
"I agree with your idea. In fact, this time I brought more than ten family members of my deceased comrades. I believe you can take good care of them." It turns out that Xue Chong did not come alone.
"Great, where are they? Ding Yu, ask Mr. Fei to bring some and help me arrange them." Ding Kui simply let his staff handle it and find available talents among them.
"They are in the inn closest to here. Hey, they are all poor people." Xue Chong couldn't help but pat his thigh with his one arm.
There are many poor people in war zones. Ding Kui believes that Xue Chong has seen many of them. If Xue Chong can say this, the situation of those who came here must be quite bad.
"I, Ding Kui, will not allow the family members of my comrades to become pitiful people. I must make them live an enviable life in the future!" Ding Kui said firmly.
"What can I do?" Xue Chong looked a little hesitant.
"Of course, you play a big role. Captain Xue, don't feel inferior because you have a broken arm. Just because you can gallop around the war zone and conquer east and west, how can this land you once protected not be able to tolerate you?"
Ding Kui saw Xue Chong's concerns.
"I happen to have something big to do. I lack an armed force that can protect the caravan, and my brothers are not suitable to come forward to do this. Can you think about it?"
"Protect the escort? Hahaha, Xue is a little reluctant to protect the country and kill the enemy like this, but he is confident in dealing with those mountain robbers." Xue Chong regained his confidence.
"You don't need to take action yourself. I will recruit enough manpower for you. I hope you can train a team that can fight against the bandits." Ding Kui would not let Xue Chong go to protect the bodyguard no matter how short of manpower he was.
"I'll help you train your manpower. That's no problem. I can bring out the flying generals, but can't you train just the bodyguards?" Xue Chong put aside the heavy stone in his heart and was in the mood to joke with Ding Kui.
"This is my Captain Xue. You are familiar with the road from Nanqiu County to Huashan County. In the future, a large amount of goods will be transported from Juyang City to Huashan County. How many people do you think are needed to protect a caravan?"
Ding Kui and Xue Chong discussed their latest plans.
"Not counting the porters, there are five hundred young men. As long as the leader has certain military qualities and strength, they can handle the bandits that may appear along the way."
When it came to Xue Chong's profession, Ding Kui was not familiar with it either, and his confidence was akin to scolding Fang Qiu.
Ding Kui put his fingers together and said, "Five hundred people plus reserves equals one thousand. It just so happens that you can lead another brigade. This time there is no division commander. You yourself will be the highest officer."
"Haha, you are the boss, almost the same as the division leader." Xue Chong didn't mind working for Ding Kui.
"Don't you know about my business? The purpose is to make some money so that the brothers can live a good life. We are all doing things for ourselves and there is no boss." Ding Kui had the nerve to put on airs in front of his old boss.
"Well said, yes, just do something for the brothers, and Xue is doing his part. Well, it is a bit difficult to recruit escorts in Juyang City. In my opinion, we should go near the base camp. There are many people who want to join the army and are rushing there.
On the way to the base camp, they heard that the war was over and they were unwilling to go back. It would be much easier to recruit there." Xue Chong immediately had an idea.
"Listen to you, just work harder and do the recruitment. I can't go to the base camp without military orders." Ding Kui followed suit and handed over the recruitment to Xue Chong.
"Prepare some gold coins for me, and I will go out to the base camp tomorrow." Xue Chong still maintained his true character as a soldier, and he did what he said without delay.
"Don't worry, you haven't seen everyone for so long, please stay here for a few days."
"I'm back. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. If you tell everyone, they will understand."
Xue Chong went home and then joined Ding Kui. He had already planned to follow Ding Kui for a long time. His only concern was that he could not do much work. Now that this worry was relieved, he was full of energy and eager to show his value.
"Forget it, tomorrow you bring 100,000 gold coins to the base camp. Don't be afraid to pick more good players. It's okay to pay them more. As long as you like the people, everything is easy to discuss." Ding Kui handed Xue Chong a gold coin on the spot.
Card.
That gold coin card was given to Ding Kui by a Meng businessman not long ago.
Someone would give him a pillow when he was really sleepy. Ding Kui was worried that no one would be in charge of the horse and carriage business. Xue Chong was a suitable candidate from every point of view.
There is nothing to talk about in terms of trust. People risked their lives to protect him. Even if he was tricked to death by Xue Chong, he would still admit it. In terms of ability, there is nothing to say. The first brigade is a good example. He believes in his ability to lead troops.
He is slightly inferior to Xue Chong; if there is money for the operation, he will help to look after it. A mere carriage and horse shop will not cause any problems.
When Fei Ze learned about this, he smiled and said: "The right time, right place, right people, and the right people are all there, and the young master has another strength in his hands."
Lu Ji's guess was correct. The Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance really built a large warehouse in Juyang City, and then the fruit was shipped in a steady stream.
Although Buliguo also has certain military uses, it is mainly used for people's livelihood. Meng encourages merchants to export Buliguo. As for whether it will damage the interests of Cao Guo, a temporary ally? No one in Bangladesh seems to care about this issue.
The reaction of the powerful people in Nanzhao State was a little slow. Only the Kong family received the news and sent an elder from the side clan to Juyang City to understand the situation. On the contrary, those merchants with a keen sense of smell have already established contact with the Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Many chambers of commerce
, trading houses sprung up in Juyang City.
"Young Master, all the land in the east of the city has been rented out at a high price." The old money man has been wearing a smile on his face recently, and now it is more difficult for people to see his eyes.
"You can stop holding hands and leave some soup for others to drink. Otherwise, those powerful and powerful clans will catch wind of this and find that they can't even drink the soup. In the end, they will focus their attention on me." Ding Kui knows when to stop.
.
"I just received a summons from Xue Chong. He will probably be able to bring his people back to Juyang City tomorrow."
"Oh, who did Team Xue recruit? I'm really looking forward to it." Ding Kui pinched his chin and said.
