"Hey," the newly illuminated look in Bai Qian's wonderful eyes quickly faded, "How could such a talent join the Bai family? If my subordinates wanted to do this, they wouldn't come here."
In the naval battle of Ao Xi Island, all the relatives and friends of the Bai family were killed, and Bai Qian's father specially sent the news.
"Don't think so much. Work hard in the First Battalion until you retire. If the Bai family encounters trouble, I will never stand by and watch. So many comrades will find ways to help you and shoulder the burden of the family on their own shoulders. I believe
You can do it." Ding Kui held Bai Qian's shoulders and encouraged her.
After listening to Ding Kui's words, Bai Qian felt warm in her heart. Having a comrade who depends on her life and death as her backing is more reliable than any other man. "From now on, my subordinates will rely on you, Captain D." The smile returned to her face.
"Hahaha, I accept the surrender of the Bai family." Ding Kui winked slyly, "However, I think you and Brother Liang are a good match. Do you want me to match them up?"
"You just said you accepted my surrender and you want to sell me right away?" Bai Qian resumed her tone of talking to Ding Kui in private, "Counselor Liang is also a young boy, so he is not suitable for me."
"How do you know he is a young boy?" Ding Kui's expression was narrow at this moment.
"Captain, when did you become so dirty? I won't play with you anymore." Bai Qian ran away with a red face.
"Hey, hey, I don't mean anything else." Ding Kui couldn't stop shouting, "I even learned 'dirty' so quickly. I just told you recently. It seems that she doesn't like those who are younger than her.
Just find someone who is a little more mature. You can be an ally even if you don't take refuge in me."
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Liang Chong also came to Juyang City.
"Do you know who is the fastest in the 2o1 division?" Ding Kui joked with Liang Chong.
Liang Chong looked confused and couldn't find the point of Ding Kui's question at all. He said: "Are you talking about Ding Yu? The fastest runner is of course in your first group. Counting the mounted infantry, there is no way he can outrun the cavalry.
.”
"Wrong, it's you. I mentioned you just now. In the blink of an eye, you came here from the county. Who else is there?" Ding Kui laughed to himself, although Liang Chong didn't understand.
"You just mentioned me? Who did you mention it to? Don't you know why I came?" Liang Chong had a question mark on his forehead.
"Haha, I'm just kidding, no one."
Ding Kui was amusing himself, while Liang Chong had "not funny" written on his face.
"It seems that damn Deng Yudong helped you. There was no obstacle in appointing your uncle as the chief of staff of the Sixth Navy Corps. The Gongsun family did not bargain for it. It is estimated that the good news will reach Tianji County by now." Ding Kui naturally knew it.
Why does Liangchong come?
Liang Chong bowed to Ding Kui seriously and said, "Thank you very much, brother. The Liang family will remember your kindness."
Ding Kui accepted it indifferently and went to Fu Liangchong without hypocrisy, "Commander Yang is in Linhai Prefecture, and together with the Xuanyuan family, how to make a name for himself depends on the ability of the good family. The West Sea is too far away and I can only help here."
"Don't worry. Third uncle has loved studying naval warfare since he was a child. He has no pressure to command a hundred thousand navy. We are very clear about the relationship between the Yang family and the Xuanyuan family. There will be no problem in dealing with them."
Liang Hui, the new chief of staff of the Sixth Army of the Shaodian Kingdom, is Liang Chong's third uncle. He is a candidate recommended by the Liang family to join the navy, and he is also a rare talent in the Tianjihou lineage.
In the past, the navy did not have a serial number organization. There were ten divisions in each of the four coastal states. Due to the addendum, serial numbers were added. The first and second navy regiments affiliated to Haishan Prefecture were the first and second navy regiments, and the third navy regiments were affiliated to Xihai Prefecture.
The Fourth Army Corps, affiliated to Linhai Prefecture is the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of the Navy, and affiliated to Hailin Prefecture is the Seventh and Eighth Army Corps of the Navy.
Since the role of Commander-in-Chief of the West Sea overlapped with that of the Commander-in-Chief of the War Zone, there was no rush to appoint a successor. Rumors were only spread that after defeating the Thousand Islands Alliance, he would be selected from among the naval corps commanders who had performed well.
The former naval commander of each state will automatically be transferred to the commander of the corps with the highest serial number in each state. For example, Zhou Yuan, the commander of the Xihai Prefecture, will be transferred to the commander of the third army. Both the original and newly promoted corps commanders will have the opportunity to compete for the commander of the Xihai Prefecture. .
"The navy currently has less than 150,000 troops and needs 650,000 new recruits. It would be great if we can organize them before I retire. I really don't want to leave the army when there are foreign enemies."
Ding Kui will have served for four years in mid-June next year, and it is said that the documents requiring him to retire have been drafted by the clan government.
"The Fifth Marine Corps will be fully staffed by the end of the year and will be able to form combat capabilities. The Xuanyuan family's maritime trade routes will all be cut off. They will not sit back and watch the West Sea be occupied for a long time." Liangchong is familiar with the situation in Linhai Prefecture.
"The mysterious second largest family, no one has ever provoked the Xuanyuan family to show their true strength. The king should be grateful to the Thousand Islands Alliance, right?" Ding Kui carefully observed the surroundings before saying this.
"Shhh." Liangchong still thought Ding Kui's voice was too loud, "The kingdom's losses are not small. The money spent just to rebuild eight legions of the navy is more than the total cost of the Nanzhao Prefecture War Zone. The tax revenue of the four coastal states accounts for Nearly half of the national tax revenue. If hatred can kill people, Minister Fan estimates that he can wipe out half of the Thousand Island Alliance Army."
"Hahaha, I'll ask Fan Yang when I get the chance. The damn Thousand Islands Alliance didn't attack the Guyuan Empire or our own country, but chose our Shaodian Kingdom. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely defeat the Thousand Islands Alliance."
Ding Kui didn't know how much trouble this joke would bring him in the future.
Chang Shan, who was rescued by Feng Liang, has been staying in Juyang City. Under the care of Ding Kui, he opened a branch of Yongchang Trading Company in the city and transferred some of his family and property from his country.
There is no shortage of valuable goods in Juyang City. As long as you find a market, you can make money. Changshan's life is prosperous.
However, he has been looking sad recently. The Le family's revenge has finally come. Yongchang Trading Company in Yanlan City has been hit one after another, and his eldest son Changkai has lost a lot of money. No, he took advantage of the opportunity of looking for Huaxia Chariot and Horse to bring goods. Asking for fees means complaining.
"Master Fei, I can't stay in my country with Marquis Beiguan Ting, and I have lost all the money I earned in the past six months." Changshan knew that Fei Ze was more than just the manager of a carriage and horse shop.
"What tricks did they use this time?" Fei Ze asked.
"It's still the same old thing. They will raise relevant taxes on whatever goods the villain buys, and then steal our customers at low prices. Alas, Yongchang Trading Company will close down sooner or later." Seeing that Fei Ze's tea cup was empty, Chang Shan quickly helped to fill the water.
"Your whereabouts are all under the control of Lejia. They know exactly where you have been and who you have come into contact with. If you want to do business normally, you will only be dead."
Plop, before Fei Ze finished speaking, Changshan knelt in front of him.
"Master Fei, please give me some advice. I'm willing to risk my life to repay you." Changshan burst into tears in the blink of an eye.
"Stop pretending, my boss won't ignore you, just get up." Fei Ze had come into contact with too many businessmen at the horse and carriage shop, and Changshan's tricks couldn't be hidden from him. "Money is something that no matter how long it takes someone to do it." You won’t be able to make enough money, so you can put your business aside and your boss will compensate you.”
Chang Shan quickly got up and responded: "Yes, yes, what should I do?"
"I will arrange three ships for you at the beginning of next month. Externally, you claim to have bought the Huatong Mine. In your own country, you should also contact more buyers of the Huatong Mine and sell them at the price I gave you. Doesn't Lejia like to grab customers at low prices?
, let him rob him, then go back and trick him with three boats of stones, and Lejia will not rob your customers at will in the future." Fei Ze has already had a countermeasure.
"What should I do with those stones? Throw them away?" Changshan seemed to understand.
"No, we will transport it to our country and then bring it back. I will make my own arrangements on the way. The Chang family has another important task, asking your son to open a welfare home in Yanlan City. Do you know about the welfare home?"
"I know, I have donated money to the welfare home in the city. I am willing to do this kind of thing, and I am willing to spend all the Chang family's property." Chang Shan, the orphanage, agreed, and to Fei Ze's surprise, he agreed.
"You don't have to spend money from the Chang family. My boss will give it to you and will send people to Yanlan City for guidance. However, I will convey your thoughts to my boss." Fei Ze was satisfied with Changshan's reaction.
"The villain donates money to the welfare home in the hope that the Chang family will have the opportunity to enter the Eternal Temple after their death. If it is done in the name of the Chang family, the villain can spend any amount of money." Chang Shan has his own insistence on this issue.
"Of course it will be run in the name of the Chang family. Then the Le family won't be able to kill the Chang family. Let's set up the welfare home first and then decide who will pay for it. In short, the owner will not treat you badly." Fei Ze's views on Changshan are:
changed.
Ding Kui secretly met Tao Mu, who had returned from Cao State, at home.
"Master, my subordinates formed a small gang in Luoye City called the 'Floating Cloud Society'. More than ten local thieves were surrendered by my subordinates and are now working as temporary guards." Tao Mu came back to report on the results of his work.
"Haha, don't forget Fu Niushan, the 'Floating Cloud Club'. Don't rush to let the people below to find out the information. Observe slowly first, and then use it if you have trustworthy people." Ding Kui thought of Tao Mu's origin.
"My family members are still in Funiu Mountain. I can't forget that place. I don't have anyone I can trust, but it seems like an undercover agent came here." Tao Mu's wife Yazhai stayed in Funiu Mountain, and Ding Kui gave it to him when he traveled abroad.
A son was born.
"How to say it?" Ding Kui knew the point.
"Because of the relationship with Giant Sheep City, Luoye City has also prospered, and there are more and more outsiders. Among them, there is a group of people who are not acquainted with each other on the surface but are secretly connected.
The subordinates accidentally encountered one of their small gatherings and found that this group of people was mixed with various forces in Luoye City, and one of them joined the "Floating Cloud Society".
The strength of each of them is not low, and some are even similar to those of their subordinates. Unfortunately, their purpose cannot be discovered, but I believe it is related to Giant Sheep City."
Tao Mu had learned espionage skills from Qian Bu for a while, and it was not easy to discover an organization operating secretly.
Ding Kui pinched his chin and said: "Is it about the same strength as you? You must be careful. The archers of Cao State are very powerful. Archers with the same strength as you can easily detect you. Since there is someone who has joined the 'Floating Cloud Society', then
Let’s start with him and I will make good arrangements.”
