"Why do our countries often marry our country? Because they are afraid that our country will block them, which prevents them from obtaining strategic resources in the north. They have strong water combat capabilities, but because of the isolation of the large swamp, they cannot fight north along the Tongyuan River, so
He has never been able to influence the Cao State or even the Qi State, and has always been secretly suppressed by the Meng State.
In the late stages of the last Three Kingdoms invasion, our country showed great interest in Chunlu Bay Water Village. Once they occupied it, their warships could patrol the Cao-Meng border at will. If anyone dared to block resources from the north, they could do whatever they wanted.
Use force to teach the other party a lesson." Ding Kui simply explained his point of view.
"That makes sense." Jiang Li took the tea brought by Shao Dian Luan and took a sip, "You must be fully prepared when you go back. If the situation is not good, leave the territory quickly. The existing situation in Nanzhao Prefecture
The military strength may not be able to withstand the first wave of attacks from one's own country.
Now the legions in the east are beginning to be transferred to the west, such as the First Army, the Thirteenth Army, the Fifteenth Army, and even part of the Twenty-first Army have to be transferred to Zhongwangzhou to fight against the rebels. If the internal troubles are not eliminated, there will be no spare power.
Considering the border, it will be much safer for you to go to Zhongwangzhou."
"Uncle, please rest assured. Kui'er will take good care of Luan'er and Xiaoyan. They won't have any problems with grandpa here. As for the territory, Kui'er will try his best to defend it. If it doesn't work, I will retreat to the new city. No matter how many enemies come,
I can also hold it for a year and a half." Ding Kui was not willing to abandon his territory at will, and he had to fight for it no matter what.
"As the elder of the Senate, I support you risking your life to protect your territory; but as your uncle, I want to remind you that family is much more important than territory, especially the two families. If you need anything, just ask and I will try my best to arrange it for you.
You mobilize. Hey, the country is also in crisis, and you can still help the kingdom by holding on to the territory." Jiang Li did not put pressure on Ding Kui.
Ding Kui and his wife did not stay in the capital any longer. They walked to Nanjing via the teleportation array that night after receiving the imperial edict, but they stayed in Nanjing. The next morning, the two of them visited Shaodianxi together.
"What? Ten thousand sets of fine armor!" Shao Dianxi couldn't believe his ears.
Ding Kui returned his affirmative look.
Fine armor is equipment strictly controlled by the state. The maximum penalty for a blacksmith who makes fine armor privately can be genocide. Without documents from the local government or the military, no blacksmith dares to make fine armor. If the local government is found to be illegally manufacturing fine armor, then
Relevant personnel will be handed over to the Military Justice Department. Repairing the enemy's fine armor will not be under control.
"Fine armor is different from ordinary ordnance. There is stock in the state arsenal, but the quantity is limited." Shao Dianxi glanced at Shao Dianluan, the new king's sister, "I will give you 10,000 sets at once, but there will be nothing left.
There’s not much left, and besides, it’s against the rules.”
"Haha, please don't worry, Prince. The equipment department will reissue the documents later, and the rules will definitely not be broken." Ding Kui is not afraid of violations when it comes to equipment. His father-in-law is there, and no one will cause trouble for him.
"The problem is that the demand in each county and city is not small, and the production of fine armor cannot keep up. The state arsenal needs to keep some spares. Well, I will allocate you two thousand sets, plus the original ones in your territory should be enough.
La."
Nanzhao Prefecture had not long gone through a war, and its inventory of weapons and equipment was indeed not rich. Young Dianxi could not satisfy Ding Kui's big mouth.
"Five thousand sets." Ding Kui stretched out his hand, "No more. I am also in charge of the royal outpost, so we need three thousand sets. Leaving another two thousand sets for the city defense army is barely enough."
Your Highness, if an enemy country invades Juyang City, I promise to resist to the death, and my well-equipped subordinates will definitely be worth tens of thousands of troops."
Shao Dianxi is indeed in a dilemma. Within his jurisdiction, Juyang City is the most vulnerable to attack. Helping Ding Kui is equivalent to helping himself; but what Ding Kui needs is supplies that are in short supply. How many people across the state are watching, it is so cheap.
Ding Kui couldn't get any oil or water out of it.
"Okay, five thousand sets, but I don't have that many people to transport them to you." Thinking of the relationship between the new king and Ding Kui, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"That's not a problem. I'll arrange for someone to transport it away tomorrow." Ding Kui smiled brightly.
It's really not Ding Kui's boast. Only one person came to Juyang City and took away all five thousand sets of fine armor, but he didn't do it in front of everyone.
Ao Yan stretched out her hand and emptied the fine armor piled in the Nanjing City Princess's Courtyard. Young Dian Luan's eyes were filled with excitement, "Sister Yan is really amazing. She can even put away all the fine armor piled up in a mountain."
"He is a forbidden magician, and even further, he is an elemental magician. Ordinary people have no chance to see him." Ding Kui was a little disgusted when he saw the adoring look in his wife's eyes.
"I'm leaving." Ao Yan coolly waved goodbye and disappeared.
"What are you doing?" Shao Dian Luan pinched Ding Kui, "Didn't you make an appointment with someone from the Kong family?"
"Ah, yes, we need to talk to the Kong family." Ding Kui patted his head.
"What's there to talk about with the Kong family? People look down upon our small place."
"No, no, no, Juyang City may be small, but there are big people here." Ding Kui hugged Shao Dianluan into his arms, "We need talents in civil and political fields, and no one in the country has more talents than the Kong family. Your brother
Having just succeeded to the throne, no matter who he is, as long as he is loyal to the royal family's orthodoxy, he must express his support. Now is the most appropriate time to recruit people under your banner."
Shao Dian Luan bit Ding Kui's lip gently and said, "You are so bad. If I don't come, it doesn't mean you are betraying my brother Feng."
"In terms of attitude, I'm giving them a chance. It's better to say a thousand nice things than to do one real thing. To join the king's sister is to support the king. The Kong family can prove their position with actions. This will be political capital in the future."
After speaking, Ding Kui took a deep breath and sealed Shao Dian Luan's mouth tightly.
The elder of the Confucius family agreed more readily than Ding Kui thought. He asked two disciples and a nephew to go back to Juyang City with Ding Kui on the spot. He also promised to encourage more people to go to Juyang City to seek employment. The two families had a happy conversation.
"Aren't you going back tomorrow?" Shao Dianluan couldn't help but feel strange when she saw that her husband had no plans to leave yet.
"Haha, don't be in a hurry. If you give the Kong family a chance, you should give others a chance. Otherwise, some people will say that I, Ding, prefer one to the other and only have eyes for big families. There are not many nobles in Nanzhao Prefecture, but there are some after all. Most of them
It's not far from Nanjing, so let's stay a few more days." Ding Kui wanted to stay a few more days.
"You can use the literati as you like. You can collect a lot of aides alone, but how many military positions can you give?" The eldest princess probably guessed what Ding Kui was thinking.
"Hey, don't forget about the royal outpost. The number of captains is full, but there are still thirty squadron captains. Those guards you used to have can be promoted to do other things, so there is no harm in replacing some new ones." Ding Kui revealed.
