After an afternoon of deliberations, the list of transfer personnel of the East China Sea Division was newly released.

In addition to the rotation of five or six pipe bands and deputy generals between the two major naval divisions, Chen Wu also personally named and removed several important members of the East China Sea Division. After this, Ding Yun, an originally inconspicuous 600-material warship pipe leader, was suddenly vigorously promoted and appointed as the new deputy general of the naval division.

There are hundreds of ships in the East China Sea Fleet that can enter the ocean alone, this Ding Yun is relatively low-key, and he has never caused any trouble on weekdays, and even Zheng Cheng himself has no impression of this subordinate. He never imagined that Chen Wu would be so familiar with calling out this person's life, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Could it be that this Ding Yun has any relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Thailand? I've never heard of it!

Ding Yun is a native of Tenglai Province, and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand's hometown is in Taiping County. No matter how far away it is, no matter how you look at it, it should be impossible to hit the eight poles.

Admiral Zheng Cheng, the commander of the East China Sea Division, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth. The previous great streamlining and transfer have been passed, and it is not bad to call such a lieutenant general. It's a big deal to find Ding Yun himself after going back to knock on the side to see if he knows the king of Thailand.

Chen Wu naturally saw the doubts of this East China Sea Master Admiral, but he only smiled incomprehensibly and did not explain. Of course, the other party didn't know that Ding Yun's fame would be a few years later in the game, and the general route would be similar to that of Xu Shizhong, the king of heavy infantry. He was also unknown before, but later became famous in the first battle, and can be called one of the most outstanding sailor generals in the Eastern Continent.

Previously, when the Ninghai Division was expanding and going to the East China Sea Division to buy ships and pull people, Chen Wu had specially instructed the personnel of the Intelligence Department to pay attention to and contact Ding Yun. Although the other party did not agree to change the court at that time, at least it left a good impression on the other party. Now with the East China Sea Division taking refuge as a whole, it is logical to reuse him.

In addition to these, there is another reason why Chen Wu reuses him, that is, Ding Yun has always been dissatisfied with the chaos of the East China Sea Division. If he is promoted, Chen Wu's orders will inevitably be carried out and carried out by him.

At this moment, Ding Yun naturally didn't know that his fate had been inadvertently changed. But even if he gets the news a week later, I'm afraid that the doubts in his heart may not be less than Zheng Cheng's. It's not just this time, since the last time Chen Wu poached people, Ding Yun already had doubts in his heart. It's just that he is not qualified to come to Dengzhou to inquire about Chen Wu in person, so he can only suppress his doubts with gratitude and loyalty, assist Zheng Cheng, the commander of the East China Sea Division, and better complete Chen Wu's edict.

In a short period of time, such a big move will cause turmoil in the East China Sea and Ninghai Sea Divisions, and the combat effectiveness will decline for a short time. But once the reorganization is completed, the lightly armed East China Sea Division will burst out with extremely high combat power. The independent Changding Shipping Department and Quanzhou Shipping Department will also make the transportation of Asahikawa Iron Mine and North Luzon Island resources more efficient and smooth.

Exchange a little short-term pain for long-term benefits, but anyone with vision can see the wisdom of this move.

………

Daqingguan.

Since the start of the war against the Middle Route Army, the flow of people here has dropped sharply. A year ago, there were dozens or hundreds of people passing by here at noon every day, and there were even nearly 1,000 people at most. If it happens that several large caravans come together, even if they are doubled, it may not be impossible.

But in recent days, the defenders of Daqingguan can clearly feel the downward trend. It was almost noon, and some soldiers looked down from the lazy probe on the wall of Xiongguan, and only saw a dozen or so people.

Just for such a small amount of manpower, it seems that it is a bit too much of a loss and not enough trouble.

If they could, the soldiers of Daqingguan really wanted to save a day's trouble, and let the dozen or so people outside wait outside the pass for one more day, so that they could make up some more numbers. It's a pity that the Songjiang army has strict military discipline, and if these passing civilians and traveling merchants complain to the above, all those who dare to violate the rules will be severely punished, even the officers.

Therefore, seeing that it was noon, even if the number was only so small, the soldiers still lowered the suspension bridge as usual.

In the rumbling sound, the gate opened, and a large number of soldiers lined up on both sides of the entrance and exit of Daqing Pass, checking the salute of passers-by and beware of changes. It's a pity, there's really nothing to check, there are just so many people in total, and it only takes five minutes before and after, and it's empty inside and outside the gate.

If the rules are followed, the soldiers will continue to stand guard below until the end of the switching time. But there was no one on the left and right, so some soldiers were ready to apply to the officers above, and the door was closed in advance, and everyone was relaxed.

Naturally, this decision was unanimously supported by everyone. But at this time, the alarm bell hanging above Daqingguan rang.

The soldiers' hearts tightened at first, and then they realized that the alarm bell was ringing slowly.

If it is a rapid sound, it means that there is an unmistakable enemy attack, and it is necessary to immediately carry out defensive operations. If you slow down, there is a chance that it will be a false alarm, and most of the suspicious objects will be large caravans, and it may even be the movement of your own troops.

However, even if nine times out of ten it was a false alarm, the soldiers had to follow the rules.

The drawbridge was re-erected, and a large number of soldiers arrived at the top of the city in full armor, ready to defend the city. Soon, the target gradually approached Daqingguan. It was a brigade of about a hundred men, and in the middle of the line you could see four wagons, surrounded by at least thirty riders, plus fifty or sixty heavily armed soldiers.

Just by looking at the style of the walk, you can see that the person who came was by no means an ordinary caravan guard.

But if it was the army that had withdrawn from Tongshan Pass, why was there such a large carriage?

The lookout hand on the tower of the gate was a little strange, staring at it with wide eyes. As the distance got closer, he could see clearly the flag hanging on the carriage - Wu Anlin's family!

The Taiping Army has secret ties with Wu Anlin's family, and there is also some cooperation in business, which is not a secret in the Songjiang Army. As word spread, the previous alert was lifted slightly. However, even if the identity of the comer was confirmed, the defenders still sent soldiers far beyond the comers, and went down to the bottom of Daqing Pass. Make sure that even if these Lin family members suddenly turn their faces after mixing in, they will definitely not be able to set off any waves!

………

"Third Miss, there is Daqingguan in front."

Looking at the Xiongguan hundreds of steps away, with flags and swords and guns like a forest, the rider's face couldn't help but show a little shock. After a few repeated glances, he came to the window of the carriage and reported to the people in the carriage.

When you get here, you'll be in the territory of Matsue-gun.

"Is it finally here?"

The voice in the carriage was filled with unconcealed joy, and then a figure lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out.

After all, he had never been out of the country, and he suddenly walked such a journey of nearly a thousand miles, even if there was the Lin family's most luxurious carriage and three cars full of various accompanying items, Lin Yunshuang still felt tired and bored. Although the scenery along the way is fresh, it is not interesting to see too much. What's more, since leaving Wu'an, most of the people have been seen all the way to the withered, desolate and dilapidated scenes, and after entering Yuanshan County, it is even more war-torn, and it has been attacked twice by gangsters on the way, which will only make people upset.

It would be nice to get to Songjiang.

Thinking that she would be able to see Lin Xing and Lin Yue soon, Lin Yunshuang's mood finally improved. And the majestic Daqingguan in front also surprised the well-informed princess of the Lin family. She thought that the city wall of Wu'an was high, but she didn't expect that it seemed to be only two-thirds of Daqingguan. Such a strong pass, with such an easy to defend and difficult to attack location, is it really possible for manpower to conquer it?

I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Thailand took this place with some rebels in the first place, it's curious to think about it!

After looking around, the convoy slowly entered Daqing Pass.

After reconfirming the identity and intention, the chain suspension bridge was lowered again. There was a thud, dust was flying, and the coughing of the riders and guards opened the way into the customs.

"Routine check!"

A captain officer came over with a knife and stopped the team of more than 100 people.

"The Lin family's convoy, there's no need to check it, right?"

The rider who had reported to Lin Yunshuang earlier led the horse and stepped forward, said a few polite words, and secretly stuffed a small bag of gold coins.

If it is replaced by other Lin family caravans, of course, he knows that the defenders of Daqing Pass will not dare to accept bribes, but the rider has been responsible for protecting the important people of the Lin family before, and he can be called a martial artist whose strength is second only to Lin Yunfeng, and he has never been to Songjiang, so naturally he does not know the rules of Songjiang, but it is the same as the empire here.

There was no doubt that his gold coins were pushed back, and his request was denied.

"Songjiang's military orders are strict, brother, you are harming me!"

The officer barely allowed himself to smile, waved at the men who followed him, and forcibly began the search.

Lin Huyong has been in the Lin family for a long time, and his arrogance is more or less stained, and when he saw that the captain of the other party guarding the pass dared not to give himself face, the hand holding the sword couldn't help shaking, and his face was a little annoyed. But before he could make any further moves, a large number of soldiers on guard at the bottom of Daqingguan drew their knives and stood guard.

Daqingguan, which was already cold, instantly had an aura of slaughter.

What made these Lin family guards even more frightened was that in addition to the low-level soldiers, behind the fence on the second floor of Daqingguan, there were also a large number of archers on guard. Seeing this, they also unanimously opened their bows and arrows. For a moment, the creaking sound of the bowstring tightening made everyone's faces change.

That's at least fifty bows and arrows!

Being pointed at so many bows at such a close distance, as long as he moves, it seems that he will be shot by a rain of arrows hedgehog. It's a terrible feeling.

Lin Huyong, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, also gave birth to fear, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere.

"This is a misunderstanding!"

His face stiffened, and he tried to reason with the other man, but at the same time he cautiously turned his head and signaled to his men not to move. The defenders of Daqingguan in front of them are obviously very elite and well-trained, not to mention that there are only one hundred and ten guards of the Lin family accompanying them, even if the number is increased by five times or ten times, they are by no means opponents.

Seeing that Lin Huyong retreated, the officer was no longer aggressive, and made a gesture behind the back of his hand, and the archers immediately withdrew their bows. Without that substantial gaze and murderous lock, all the Lin family members breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

The examination was then continued.

Actually, the Lin family really didn't bring too many things. In addition to some camping utensils and grain, grass and water, it is mainly the use of Miss Lin Jiasan.

After checking other things, when the officer who found nothing tried to check Lin Yunshuang's carriage, Lin Huyong finally couldn't help it, stretched out his hand to stop the other party, and said sharply: "The woman in the carriage is the daughter of the Lin family, and this trip is to visit His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, Chen Wu, do you want to make a mistake?" ”

"This ......"

The captain hesitated.

The majesty of the Lin family's eight major valves is still very scary. Of course, if it is just like this, the captain may not be so hesitant, the key is that the relationship between the Lin family and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is not ordinary. The fact that the Lin Mansion once gave His Royal Highness the King of Thailand a pair of twin maids and was very favored is not news in Songjiang. Although no one dares to talk about taboos in public, there is some discussion in private.

During this period, it was indispensable for someone to make up wild history and bring the topic to Miss Lin's head.

The situation in front of us seems to prove this. The captain said in his heart, I have never heard of a lady who is not married, and will take the initiative to visit a man, even if the other party is His Royal Highness the King of Thailand. What's more, the eight major valves have been inherited for hundreds of years, and the rules of the family are even stricter, unless they ......

After thinking about it for a while, the captain was a little worried.

Anyway, the other carriages have been checked, and it doesn't look like there's a problem, so it's better to let it go......

After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked someone to ask about the above meaning, and after learning the other party's answer of "look at it", he decisively chose to let go. Of course, in order not to make any mistakes, and also to protect some kind of Chengdù, he ordered two additional teams of soldiers to accompany the Lin family's convoy until they arrived in Dengzhou!

Seeing that the officer in front of him also took a step back, Lin Huyong finally regained a little face, and his mood was much better.

After a few moments, the convoy moved back on, slowly entering the gate. Eager to see Lin Xing and Lin Yue, Lin Yunshuang even refused to take a day off in Qingpingji, Guannei, and went straight to the official road without stopping.

However, their speed has clearly been slowed down.

It's not because the roads are bad, on the contrary, the roads in Yuanshan County are in tatters, and in comparison, the official roads in Songjiang County are simply the most perfect and smooth the Lin family has ever seen. Lin Yunshuang, who was sitting in the luxury carriage, didn't even feel the slightest bump. The reason why the convoy slowed down was that the flow of people increased greatly after entering Songjiang County.

The ruin, desolation and war of Yuanshan County seem to have been stopped outside the pass along with Daqing Pass.

Along the official road, the more they walked into the hinterland of Songjiang, the more prosperous and full of life they saw along the way. Every field was carefully cultivated, and the people showed no sign of poverty or hunger, and even the common people had a standard of living comparable to that of the rich peasants elsewhere.

After they were deeply impressed by what they saw and heard outside Daqing Pass, the prosperity and stability in front of them especially touched the Lin family.
