"My subordinates have no right to interfere with your actions, it's just the captain's side..." Lei Feixiang looked confused.
"This problem is easy to solve. I will report to the eldest princess later and ask for a password from Your Highness. Your Highness's password can avoid your difficulty." Shao Dianfei had an idea and came up with such a way.
The captain can command their three captains, and the eldest princess can also give orders, of course, as long as they do not violate Ding Kui's orders.
"The outpost still needs someone to guard it, it cannot be left unattended."
Lei Feixiang could ignore the orders of the three captains, but he could not ignore Shao Dianluan's.
Shao Dianfei waited for the three of them to go aside to discuss, and finally decided to let Shao Dianfei follow the guard princess.
Ding Kui placed a sand table in the office hall, and several craftsmen have been working on it, but it has not been completed after several days.
"Well, the entire outline has been made. The southern area is a public area and anyone can enter; the central and northern areas are private areas. The dozens of manors have been designed and must be completed as soon as possible." Ding Kui gave instructions to the craftsmen from time to time.
What is shown in the sand table is Gongzhuling.
"Should we transport the sand table to Nanjing?" Liu Yu also participated in the making of the sand table.
"It must be sent there, but don't discuss the purchase and sale on the spot. We must find a way to get interested people to go to Gongzhuling. The sale and purchase should be discussed with Xing Hui in Deadwood Town."
Ding Kui has recently focused all his energy on the Gongzhuling real estate project, and has also specially opened up a hot spring tourist area to promote the economic development of Kumu Town.
"Will other towns have any objections? Old Xing will be jealous to death." Liu Yu wants to take care of the people's livelihood throughout Juyang City.
"There's nothing I can do about jealousy. It depends on local conditions. I can't change the hot springs." Of course, Ding Kui hopes that all ten towns can build tourist areas, but unfortunately this cannot become a reality.
"Currently, part of the duty-free supplies from Meng and Lu has been shipped, and a larger batch is on the way. Should we plan a sale?" Liu Yu's focus is on food, herbs and military supplies.
"I'm waiting for news from my father-in-law. The Yangyuanzhou War Zone is still under preparation. We will wait until it is officially established. Then we can legitimately sell it to the war zone." Ding Kui looked to the northwest.
In Jianyang City, the prefecture city of Yangyuan Prefecture, Long Kun was escorted by his personal guards to the outskirts of the city.
"This place is too conspicuous. Who can guarantee that Cao Guo's spies will not find this place?" Long Kun came specially to inspect the location of the war zone camp.
A staff officer returned: "Commander Long, only there is such a large place near Jianyang City to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. In the past, the main camp in the Yangyuanzhou War Zone was built here."
"It's different this time. The army will not stay here. They will go directly to the water village to board the ship, especially the 10th Army Corps. The location of the camp will be changed immediately. The closer to the Tongyuan River, the better. This will make it easier for soldiers and supplies to be transported to the front line.
Go." Long Kun was very dissatisfied.
This time he was under great pressure to command the army to attack Cao State. The biggest headache was to command the 10th Legion to fight. The three elite legions of Shaodian Kingdom were not so easy to command. The 8th Legion only served members of the Ding family, and the 9th and 9th Legions only served members of the Ding family.
The Ten Legions only serve the direct descendants of the royal family, and it takes a lot of effort to command the others properly.
A staff officer spread out the map of Yang Yuanzhou in front of Long Kun.
"Go to Kangcheng County," Long Kun clicked on a point on the map. "This is not far from the Xijiang River, even the mouth of the dam and the Maoerwan Water Village. It is a suitable location."
"But the supplies for building the camp can't be transported so quickly," a staff officer said.
"Let Yangyuan Prefecture recruit more civilians to cooperate, and the Equipment Department can increase Yangyuan Prefecture's equipment procurement next year." Long Kun offered some small benefits in exchange for the local government's help.
Shaodian's military equipment was not built in one place. The equipment department purchased it from various states according to plans, and the person who finalized the plan was Long Kun.
"Any more questions?" He glanced at the staff officers around him.
"No!" all the staff members answered together.
Ding Kui, Ding Kui, I can help you here.
It turns out that Kangcheng County has a waterway connected to the Tongyuan River, and cargo ships from Juyang City can go there directly. Long Kun's decision was selfish.
The sand table at Gongzhuling had just been finished, and Shao Dian Luan returned to the Lord's Mansion listlessly. Ding Kui looked at him strangely and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you find the bone beetle's nest?"
"Are you so underestimating me? How could I not be found if I come forward?" Shao Dianluan answered with her hands on her hips.
"Then why do you look like this? Killing is not a fun thing, right? You had to go there in the first place."
"What? It's all your fault for the army you trained!"
"Yeah? What does it have to do with them? Did Lei Feixiang miss?" Ding Kui wondered.
Shaodian Luan said angrily: "If this were the case, I would be happy. At least I would have a chance to show my strength. But they used too much force. They rushed into the bone beetle's nest with one charge and killed them all before I could catch up.
The bone beetle only left me two larvae symbolically."
"Hahaha!" Ding Kui couldn't help laughing out loud imagining that scene.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh!" Shao Dianluan said coquettishly.
"Too hard is a very accurate word. You don't know, I spent more than a year training a force of 500 people, and this time I arranged two of the squadrons." Ding Kui suppressed a smile and said the reason.
"What kind of army is that? The samurai are not like samurai, and the archers are not like archers. They seem to know a little bit about everything."
The two squadrons following Shaodian Luan were equipped with long and short weapons and bows and arrows, and each was equipped with a war horse. Unlike conventional armed forces, they could not be defined by specific arms.
"Haha, they are special elite soldiers who need to master a variety of fighting skills. Except for fighting spirit and magic, they have been trained in other fighting methods. Not to mention fighting monsters in the swamp, they can even fight in the sea without any problem."
Ding Kui has always had the idea of establishing a special force. Before he retired, he secretly instructed Xue Chong to train special forces. It was only now that he had gathered 500 people. This was a hidden trump card in his hand.
"Special elite soldiers? How do you send special elite soldiers to the royal outpost?"
In Shaodianluan's opinion, elite power should be kept at hand.
"The location of the outpost is very important. It must be in my hands. I can rest assured when they are there. It will not be easy to be discovered if they are placed at the outpost. When I have money in the future, I will train more and I can leave it to you.
Protect the inner house.”
"Are recruits still being trained at Yongsheng Base? Can I go and have a look?" Shao Dianluan has not been to the base yet.
"Of course you can go if you want. Well, Grandpa Qian is in charge of a top-secret mission over there. Don't disturb him for the time being." Ding Kui didn't want Shao Dianluan to know the secret of the crossbowmen.
"Top secret mission? Can't even I know about it?" Shao Dianluan's face fell.
