Gu Jun, the commander of the 21st Army Corps in casual clothes, walked steadily into the hall, and it was he who shouted the words just now. ΩΔpenΔ quge
People in the hall immediately stood up to greet him.
"Don't blame your concierge, I didn't give him time to pass the message." Gu Jun said hello to Ding Kui first.
"Gu Shuai's great presence has made me shine. It's a trivial matter if anyone spreads the word. I won't blame them." Ding Kui gave Gu Jun enough face.
"You are already a general-level officer. It is not appropriate to call you a 'lower position' anymore. Besides, who dares to say that the might of our army is a soft meal? I am the first to object!" Gu Jun was brought to the main seat by Ding Kui and sat down.
Gu Jun has been hesitant about whether to come and promote Ding Kui this time. As a neutral faction, he wants to make friends with all parties, but he cannot be labeled as a certain faction.
He is not required to be promoted to squadron leader or group leader. Generals at the level of division commander are considered his direct subordinates, so logically he cannot be absent.
However, Ding Kui has been a hot topic recently, and things related to him are very sensitive. Gu Jun is worried about being said to be an old member of the Ding clan.
It wasn't until a certain big shot's words in the Senate reached Gu Jun's ears that Gu Jun finally decided to come to Giant Sheep City.
"It is the duty of the general to promote the prestige of our army. The name of the general is all given by Gu Shuai. The general will be whatever you say he is." Ding Kui gave the commander of the army enough respect.
"Ding Kui, now you are a senior commander in the army. You need confidence. A confident commander can give his subordinates the confidence to win." Gu Jun imparted experience to Ding Kui, the experience of someone who had been there.
"Yes, I will keep it in my heart." Ding Kui obeyed the instructions.
"Haha, I'm attending your party in a private capacity. Please relax." Gu Jun found that everyone around him closed their mouths and looked at him, and even the beautiful music of the piano stopped.
Ding Kui winked at Shui Xing'er, and then the music started playing again.
"Why didn't you send someone to notify your subordinates when your Excellency came? I failed to go to greet you. It was my subordinate's dereliction of duty." Zhang Jie had no idea that his immediate boss was coming. He only got together with Gu Jun during the New Year.
"It was a temporary decision. I originally wanted to return to the capital, but I heard that Nanqiu County was going to change its governor, and all members of the 2o1 Division were gathered in Juyang City, so I came over to take a look." Gu Jun excused his delay in returning to the capital.
On the work report.
"Replace the governor? Why didn't the general hear the news? Who will take over Nanqiu County?" Ding Kui was very surprised. There was no news about such an important matter.
"Yeah." Gu Jun looked around.
Ding Kui understood and clapped his hands to signal the others to leave. Only the generals of the 21st Legion were left in the hall.
"You should know that the noble meeting will be held this year, right?" Gu Jun asked.
Everyone present nodded, this is one of the two major events destined to happen this year, the other is the wedding of the eldest princess.
"Although the state pastors will not participate in the meeting of nobles, but whose territory is not under the jurisdiction of the state pastors, the major factions in the Senate will win over the state pastors in order to exert influence on the small and medium-sized nobles.
It just so happened that Nanqiu County had poor political performance for several consecutive years. Last month, Nanjing City instructed the Minister of the Central Government, Uemoto, to impeach Li Yan. No one dared to stand up and speak for Li Yan. Therefore, the Ministry of Civil Affairs removed County Governor Li Yan from his post and asked Nanjing City to recommend a replacement.
.
The King of Nanma County pretended to decline several times, and then at the beginning of the month he recommended his confidant Hou Bing to take over as Nanqiu County Governor. Hou Bing will take office in Nanqiu County in ten days, and Li Yan will leave soon." Gu Jun told the news he had just learned.
come out.
The rotation of local officials has little to do with the military. It's just that the conflict between Ding Kui and Li Yan once caused trouble in Nanjing City and the war zone headquarters. Now that Li Yan has resigned in despair, Gu Jun has reason to worry that Ding Kui will cause trouble again.
"Who is Hou Bing?" Ding Kui had already guessed that Li Yan would be dismissed, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Zhang Jie and Liang Chong didn't care much about who would be the county guard. Unlike Ding Kui who wanted to conquer Juyang City, it didn't matter who came.
"Hou Bing turned out to be the general secretary of the Prefecture Mu Xingyuan. I don't have any more information other than that. Aren't you going to return to the capital soon? Why do you care about this?" Gu Jun didn't need to care about the origins of a county governor.
"Well, Juyang City still has some of the general's properties. I'm not afraid of your jokes. If the general wants to continue running the business, he will definitely have to deal with the new governor. Since he hasn't taken office yet, there is no need to rush to understand for the time being. In the future, the general will send People ask." Ding Kui's words are not a lie.
"Oh, it's not a bad thing to understand that it's better to deal with local officials. It will also be helpful to the army if you continue to operate the industry here." Gu Jun tested Ding Kui's tone.
"Of course, of course, I know the sufferings of the frontier troops clearly, and I will do my best to help my colleagues." Ding Kui immediately expressed his position.
"The 2o1 Division is also committed to helping local areas rebuild their homes after training. Some gifts from the private sector that cannot be refused have been reported to the Corps. I hope you will be aware of it." Zhang Jie had to do some showmanship.
Not only the first battalion of the 2o1 Division participated in local commercial activities, which meant that it made a lot of money locally, but Zhang Jie did not forget to turn over part of the profits to the legion headquarters. You cannot live alone in the army for long.
"Well, it's okay to help me collect some gifts. Unlike Ding Kui, you have family members who run the family business. You must remember that serving soldiers are not allowed to do business." Gu Jun verbally said that he could not relax military discipline and allow the border troops to make money. It's not all a mess.
Zhang Jie could hear what Gu Jun meant, so he changed the topic to something more formal and asked: "Sir, do you want to observe the training of the 2o1 Division?"
Whether the commander of the legion observes the training is very important to those who organize the training. If Gu Jun wants to observe, then the 2o1 Division must perform at its best to consolidate its position as the ace army in Gu Jun's heart.
People always have selfish motives. The treatment of the ace army in the legion is naturally the best, but the combat effectiveness must also be the strongest, showing that it is stronger than other divisions, so that it can obtain the most military honors when fighting.
"No need, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. With Ding Kui in the 2o1 Division, he will definitely be the strongest in the legion. Let's wait and see how you perform after he retires." Gu Jun could naturally see what Zhang Jie was thinking.
There are only two sixth-level combatants in the entire 21st Army Corps. One is Gu Jun himself, and the other is Ding Kui's personal soldier. Ding Kui is in the 2o1 Division for a day, and the 2o1 Division is the ace army.
Just as Gu Jun said, all members of the 2o1 Division gathered three days later. After announcing Ding Kui's promotion to deputy division commander, he left Juyang City without staying to watch the training.
The main training subject of the 2o1 Division is swamp offensive and defensive warfare, which takes place at Yongsheng Base. The method is that one brigade defends at the base, and the other nine brigade are responsible for attacking to see which brigade can hold on the longest.
Ding Kui and his soldiers were responsible for supervision and did not participate in offensive and defensive drills.
The rules were changed just three days into training.
The Yongsheng base was built too solidly and the terrain was too good. Nine against one seemed to have a huge disparity in troop strength, but there was not enough terrain to deploy troops. No matter which brigade defended it, it could last for more than a month.
"Mr. Zhang, how about this? Each brigade will stick to the base for three days, and finally the battle losses will be calculated. Which brigade has the least battle losses will be the best." Ding Kui suggested.
In Zhang Jie's plan, the entire division was allowed to train for a month, which could not be completed according to the original plan, so he had to accept Ding Kui's proposal.
"You must have built this garrison point too solidly. It is simply a war fortress. I will lead my troops to guard this place without fear of any number of enemies." Zhang Jie couldn't help but sigh.
"This river is troublesome. If a large number of medium-sized battlefields rush in, it will be difficult to defend. The bottom of the river is full of mud and there is no way to bury hidden stakes." Ding Kui deliberately exposed the shortcomings of the base.
"Well, let's raise the city wall. Prepare more oil cans and fire starters at the top of the wall. Medium-sized warships are not high and can be easily ignited. Since the river bottom is mud, you won't be afraid of shipwrecks filling up the river. You can leave a few secret openings at the bottom of the city wall to facilitate sending people.
Dive into the water and dig out the boat." Zhang Jie immediately proposed some correction methods.
His idea was to modify it according to the scale of the war fortress.
The one-month training ended quickly, and the First Battalion commanded by Feng Liang won the best team without any controversy. Although the First Battalion was familiar with the Yongsheng Collection, its battle losses were far less than those of other teams, and even less than the second-place team.
half.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deputy Division Commander Ding Kui announced that Feng Liang would be the acting captain of the First Battalion, and Xu Yan would be the acting squadron captain of the "Ding Kui Squadron". They only had to wait for the formal appointment documents from the Commander-in-Chief's Office to be officially appointed.
.
Ding Kui followed Zhang Jie back to Nanqiu County and met with the new governor Hou Bing. Then he took the most important members of the Ding family and rushed to Zhenjing City without stopping.
Retirement at the division level requires going to the staff department to go through the procedures. Moreover, Ding Kui also has to prepare for his wedding in two months. Qianbu, Shi Jiang, Ao Yu, Ao Yan, Ding Fen, Ding Cai, Qian You, etc. will be in Juyang City.
Liu Yu, Fei Ze and others are all going to the capital together.
This time Ding Kui did not save any money, and all his entourage came to Zhenjing City through the portal of Nanjing City. That is to say, the prince-in-law of the dynasty had this treatment, otherwise he, a division commander or a marquis prince, would not have such qualifications.
Quan Sihai led a squadron of guards and waited outside the gate of the Magic Association. Ding Kui was officially returning this time, and the pomp of the Protectorate was about to be displayed. This was not the time to keep a low profile.
"Dachuan!" Ding Kui saw Jiang Shunchuan in the crowd.
"My servant is here." Jiang Shunchuan wiped his eyes and hurriedly came closer.
"Take Ding Cai and Ding Fen to send out some invitations. I'm going to entertain some friends at home tonight." Ding Kui patted Jiang Shunchuan's shoulder hard.
Jiang Shunchuan is Ding Kui's butler, so it is most appropriate to invite Ding Kui's personal friends to come forward.
The last time Ding Kui returned to the capital, Jiang Shunchuan happened to be away. The two hadn't seen each other for at least four years. With more and more helpers around Ding Kui, Jiang Shunchuan's status was not as prominent as before.
Now Ding Kui gave a simple order to indicate Jiang Shunchuan's status in the Ding family. Jiang Shunchuan was reassured, and many of the insecurities in his heart disappeared without a trace.
