Under the instructions of the Minister of War, Du Ning and others quickly completed the procedures at the Ministry of War and obtained the military power of the 10,000-strong navy of the Sea Kingdom.
When completing the handover, the Minister of War also said with a sarcastic tone: "I wish you all a successful start and excellent military exploits to demonstrate the majesty of your Holy Academy."
"Please rest assured, Lord Shangshu, we will definitely live up to your trust and defend the territorial integrity of the Seven Islands Sea Country." Du Ning responded seriously.
"On behalf of the people of Haiguo, I would like to thank you for your generous help."
After the Minister of War finished speaking, he pretended to express his gratitude to everyone for bowing.
"I will immediately go to the military camp to reorganize the navy, and will fight the Hailong Gang for a decisive battle three days later."
After saying this, Du Ning led the crowd to leave the military headquarters, and he and the others flew towards the military camp of Haiguo on a smooth step on the blue clouds.
The military camp of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is a naval organization. Since it focuses on maritime operations, it does not train land troops.
Because for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, they are the overlords on the endless sea. They are dedicated to running the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and have no plans to attack the mainland.
Moreover, the scholars on the mainland are also human beings, so it is even more impossible to go to war with the mainland.
After Du Ning and others arrived at the Navy barracks, they took the lead in going to the "Shuidu Yamen".
In the Seven-Island Sea Kingdom, the Grand Governor is the highest commander directly appointed by the emperor. He is in charge of the navy of the entire Seven-Island Sea Kingdom. As long as he receives an order from the Ministry of War or the Emperor, the Grand Governor can mobilize the navy based on the order. Go to war.
If there is no transfer order, the governor has no right to mobilize troops.
With the help of the military talisman from the Ministry of War, Du Ning had an unimpeded journey and soon arrived at Shuidu Yamen.
A man in official uniform is sitting on his knees next to the eucalyptus table, processing daily official documents.
This man is in his early thirties and is a Confucian and Taoist scholar.
When he saw Du Ning and others coming in, his expression immediately changed, because these scholars who came in were very unfamiliar.
"Are you Geng Cunshan, the commander-in-chief of Haiguo Navy Yamen?" Du Ning asked politely.
"It's me."
Geng Cunshan nodded lightly, stood up, and kept looking at everyone with his eyes.
"You all are very familiar with each other, but are you the officials newly appointed by the emperor?" Geng Cunshan asked.
Du Ning said: "That's not the case. We are scholars from the Holy Forest Continent."
"Oh? Are you scholars from the Holy Forest Continent?"
Geng Cunshan's expression changed, "So, you are Mr. Yunqi, the literary monarch of the human race in the mainland?"
"Exactly." Du Ning nodded lightly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yunqi. I have admired you for a long time. You are so honored to be here. It's really brilliant!"
Geng Cunshan's attitude instantly became respectful, but the smile on his face was filled with contempt and ridicule.
Du Ning turned a blind eye. He had long been accustomed to the arrogant attitude of officials from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom Military Department.
"May I ask Mr. Yunqi, why did you come to my Yamen?"
"Three days from now, Haiguo will have a decisive battle with the Hailong Gang. We accept your Majesty's appointment and come to collect 10,000 elite navy personnel to join the battle. Please accept it from the Governor."
As Du Ning spoke, he handed the military symbols and documents to Geng Cunshan for inspection.
"That's it."
Geng Cunshan took Du Ning's military talisman and documents to look at. He had received the "Hongyan Biography" from the Minister of War before Du Ning and others arrived here. He knew about the Hailong Gang's letter of war to the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, and also
I know that Du Ning and others have a military merit contest with officials from the Ministry of War.
At the same time, he also knew that Du Ning was talking nonsense in the Jinluan Palace, slandering the fact that the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom could not defeat the Hailong Gang, which also made Geng Cunshan feel very angry.
As the Grand Governor of the Seven Islands Sea Country, I couldn't stand Du Ning's extremely humiliating words.
The Hailong Gang has declared a war against the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, and the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom has already joined the fight. As the Grand Governor, Geng Cunshan will direct the battle with the Hailong Gang.
Geng Cunshan has made up his mind to command the powerful navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to fight a great victory, and let the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent know that the powerful navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is a powerful army that cannot be humiliated.<
/p>
Anyone who dares to humiliate the navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will feel ashamed for his words that have humiliated the navy of the Sea Kingdom.
After Geng Cunshan confirmed Du Ning's military symbols and documents, he stamped Du Ning's documents with the official seal, acknowledging that Du Ning's command authority was effective.
"Come here!" Geng Cunshan shouted outside.
"Grand Governor!"
A soldier entered the courtroom.
"Hurry and ask General Wei Li to come over. The governor has a task to assign to him."
"Yes."
The soldiers immediately took action.
Not long after, a Confucian and Taoist scholar came to the court, raised his hands to Geng Cunshan, and said, "The last general, Wei Li, has met the Grand Governor."
Geng Cunshan said to Wei Li: "Let me introduce to you. They are scholars from the Holy Forest Continent. They are sent by our emperor to receive 10,000 navy elites. From now on, you will be Yunqijun's subordinate and obey Yunqijun.
Act according to military orders."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to Du Ning.
"The general will obey the order."
Wei Li then raised his hand to Du Ning and said, "I have met Du Jun and all of you literary friends."
Du Ning nodded slightly, and the others returned the favor.
Geng Cunshan said: "General Wei, you immediately go to the military camp to mobilize 10,000 elite troops for reorganization, and set off for the expedition in three days. During this period, you must obey Du Jun's military orders and make no mistakes."
Then he threw the military talisman to Wei Li.
"Yes."
Wei Li took the military talisman and said to Du Ning: "Du Jun, I will take you to the military camp. Please come with me!"
"General Lao Wei."
Everyone left the Shuidu Yamen.
After Du Ning and others left, the smile on Geng Cunshan's face disappeared, replaced by contempt and disdain.
"You are just a scholar from the Holy Forest Continent, you are being exploited by us and you don't even know it. Why do you want to compete with people from our Ministry of War for military glory? It's just a joke! What a big joke! I want to see, you, the Holy Forest Continent,
Wenjun, if you have any ability, dare to challenge us."
…………
What happened next went very smoothly.
Under Wei Li's arrangement, Du Ning received 10,000 elite naval forces in the military camp, as well as more than 30 warships of various sizes.
In addition to the general Wei Li, there are other military attaches who are Confucian and Taoist scholars and hold important positions in the army. They are also the generals who assist Zuo Duning in taking charge of the army. Some of them have already accepted the transfer order, and some of them have not yet
Come and report to Du Ning.
Du Ning knew very well that although the military power was in his own hands, it was actually in the hands of Wei Li and others.
The people of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom have always looked down on mainland scholars, so how could they be willing to obey Du Ning's military orders? That's why Geng Cunshan specially arranged for Wei Li to follow Du Ning to act as a deterrent. In this way, the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom could
Don't dare to disobey military orders.
Even so, the soldiers of Haiguo also had a very proud attitude. They all held their heads high and looked down on Du Ning and many other scholars.
Du Ning inspected the soldiers for a while, and as he passed by them, he could hear their sarcastic comments.
"Look at that young scholar. I heard that he is Wenjun from the Holy Forest Continent. He is going to compete with officials from the Ministry of War for military merit!"
"Who do they think they are? Are they worthy of competing with the officials of our seven-island sea country? They are simply overestimating their abilities and bringing humiliation to themselves."
"That's right! It's ridiculous that that guy is using chicken feathers as command arrows. He wants to command our navy? It's ridiculous!"
"I heard that when that guy Du Ning was on the Jinluan, he said that our navy from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom couldn't defeat the Hailong Gang."
When someone mentioned this matter, many soldiers seemed to have been greatly provoked and looked angry.
"Fart! Our navy is the most powerful army in the endless sea. How can we not defeat a group of pirates on the sea? This is simply ridiculous!"
"Why does Du Ning slander us so much? Brothers, it seems that the guys from the Holy Forest Continent look down on us!"
"He doesn't understand. He simply doesn't understand anything. This time they compete with our Ministry of War officials for military merit. They will definitely lose."
"Then we just have to laugh loudly at them when they fail miserably."
When Fan Rulong, Tian Feipeng and others heard the contemptuous words of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom soldiers, they all felt very angry. When they were about to yell out, they saw Du Ning turning a blind eye and could only say
I swallowed back the words I wanted to say.
Wei Li raised his head slightly, with a slightly proud look on his face, obviously very supportive of the soldiers' words.
After reviewing the soldiers, Duning boarded the main battleship.
Sitting on the main seat, Du Ning said to Wei Li and others: "I have just taken over this elite navy and need to reorganize the morale and morale of the navy. But our time is very tight, so don't waste time. Wei
General Li, please arrange for manpower to convey military orders to other generals. Tomorrow at nine o'clock, I will do a bow on the warship to review the soldiers of Haiguo again."
"I will obey the order," Wei Li said, cupping his hands.
Some of the sea country generals around them looked at each other with evil smiles.
"That's it for today's work, you all go and have a rest!"
"Yes."
Wei Li and others said in unison, and then left the court.
Fan Rulong said: "Although Du Jun is now the commander of this army, the people of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom are biased against us mainland scholars. I am afraid that they will not completely obey our orders. Otherwise, it may affect
We have to be more careful about military morale and morale."
Du Ning nodded lightly and said: "I know these people are rebellious and they are talking duplicity when dealing with us. If we don't treat them, it won't be a problem for us to lose to the Ministry of War, but I am afraid that the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will suffer defeat!"
Everyone nodded slightly.
Du Ning said to Fu Yue: "Brother Fu, now you can use the Hongyan Seal to send a message to Mr. Chen and ask him to come by sea to join us."
"Okay, no problem."
Tian Feipeng immediately sent a letter to Chen Mingwang.
