Chapter 597 [Du Wei is in charge]
"What? You want me to go to the front?"
Du Wei sat in his study. In front of him stood a court official who had come from the palace to give orders. The official was holding a letter of appointment signed by the Prince Regent, which stated that Du Wei was appointed deputy commander of the Northern Theater and the commander of the garrison of the Eastern Fortress, responsible for presiding over the Eastern Fortress and the six nearby military checkpoints. The five Imperial Second-Class Fortresses are about three hundred miles long, and the front land is full of powers!
Such an official document. It's equivalent to putting the war zone in front of you. More than 200,000 troops in the eastern exhibition area have been handed over to their own hands!
But Du Wei. Sitting in the study, facing the officials who came to herald the order in the palace, there was no joy on his face. But it also openly expressed an undisguised dissatisfaction.
In a wheelchair, Du Wei walked around from behind his desk and came to the court official's place, his face strange. Point to your nose. He pointed to his leg again.
"Are you really sure that this order is not mistaken? It can't be that His Royal Highness the Regent is drunk today. Random issuance of documents, right?" Du Wei blinked. frowned and said, "Look at me." Sitting in a wheelchair, a cripple who can't even walk. Do you think I can ride a horse now, can I fight with a sword?"
The palace official had a wry smile on his face, but he was also extremely helpless, he was just a small court official in charge of the herald, where could he answer Du Weidi's question, he could only have a bitter face at the moment, and begged softly: "Lord Duke." Don't embarrass me, I'm just in charge of the summons...... I don't understand anything else. ”
Du Wei grabbed his hair. Sighed softly: "Oh. Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"This ......," the palace official said, "a battle report was sent from the front today. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent read it in public in the main hall. Then, after consulting with the ministers, the Minister of War, Mr. Camisiro, recommended you. Your Highness will approve it...... That's about it. Specifically, if you ask me, I don't know. ”
Du Wei smiled, took the appointment order, read it in his hand, it was written in black and white, and the signature was complete, then he nodded, and casually took out two gold leaves from his arms. Lost it to the palace official: "Okay, I know, I've worked hard for you to make such a trip." ”
The palace official took the gold leaf, but his face was not happy, and he looked at Du Wei. I couldn't help but say, "Lord Duke." Do you ...... Don't you go to the palace to receive orders? But all the officials in the dìdū who have been appointed must go to the palace to receive orders in person. It's customary......"
The implication seems to be that he hopes that Du Wei will go back to the palace with him.
Du Wei waved his hand: "No need, I'm not in good health, the regent knows, and he won't bother with me about this kind of courtesy." When you go back, just say that I have received the order, and tomorrow I will go to the headquarters to make an official report. After handing over the formalities, I'll leave for the north as soon as possible......"
The official's eyes widened and he thought, "Cow! What is the number one nobleman in the empire!" This shelf is really big. The regent gave you an order to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops from the front line, and you didn't even go back to say hello to him in person!
However, this kind of small matter is not something that a small court official like him can interject. Quickly said goodbye and ran.
After the palace people left, Du Wei sneered twice and threw this order on the table.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "Emperor Chen will transfer me to the front sooner or later, I understand this...... But. Why did he come forward to recommend me as such a prominent person? Well, this must be the old man behind him...... But. The old man. What does that mean?"
Du Wei understood deeply. I'm now separated from the Regent - but only by centrifugation. It's far from the time to turn around.
It was a while before the commotion. Let the aristocrats of all sizes in the dìdū be nervous. But actually. Only Du Wei and the regent, who were in the middle of the game, knew that both sides were just testing.
Turn...... It's far from time. Nor did it reach the bottom of that rupture. At least for now. Both sides are still nostalgic for the old place.
It's just a temptation.
As for tempting what?
That's a bit complicated......
Let's put it this way: Prince Chen is terminally ill, but he doesn't want others to know. I didn't want Du Wei to know, but Du Wei guessed it, but Du Wei didn't want Prince Chen to know that he had guessed, and then Prince Chen suspected that Du Wei might have guessed, but Prince Chen didn't want Prince Chen to know that he suspected that Du Wei had guessed, now. Du Wei didn't want Prince Chen to know that he knew that he suspected that he had guessed......
Damn, it's just a super tongue twister!!
As a result, it caused the friction between the two sides before. In fact, they are just testing each other.
Two people, one is pretending to be confused. One is to pretend to understand in a daze.
And this thing is at the core. No matter what Du Wei meant, he had to pretend that he didn't know yet. We can't let this window paper be pierced -- the sky doesn't pierce it. Everyone is fine.
But once this layer of window paper is pierced...... So. After that, the situation will be difficult to control.
Everyone understands the truth: if Emperor Chen is dying, he will definitely clear the way for his son. It makes sense of common sense. It was to be done to Du Wei - whether he would do it or not. It's still two words, but Du Wei understands this truth, and Prince Chen also understands it.
Prince Kechen couldn't let Du Wei know, because once Du Wei knew...... Then Du Wei must be on guard: Since you are very likely to move me, then maybe I will move you first! The so-called first strike is stronger.
Du Wei was afraid that Prince Chen would make a move, and Prince Chen was afraid that Du Wei would do it first - although everyone had no intention of doing it for the time being - maybe even the two of them didn't want to do anything to each other at all. But under this suspicion and speculation, it is difficult to guarantee who can't help but strike first.
After all. The most unsafe place in the world is the human heart.
Du Wei couldn't pin his hopes for life and death on the benevolence of Prince Chen. And Prince Chen did not dare to pin the safety of the royal family on Du Weidi's loyalty.
Both were guarding each other's hands.
Circle...... It's just too winding.
Du Wei took the order. Didn't go to the palace. But he ran directly to the military headquarters in Dìdū. ran to see Camiciro, he didn't mention anything about the other party's recommendation of his own affairs, and he had a completely businesslike attitude.
Since the battle was lost at the front, you have to go to the front line to clean up the mess. You can't let me die alone.
What about reinforcements? How many soldiers will I bring?
Camisiro was also unambiguous, and directly told Du Wei: Bing, there is, but it is not the main battle corps. After all, the Empire's most sharp landlord battle legion, the Storm Legion, was already on the front line. Stay behind the Kings City Guards. A front line has also been drawn a long time ago, in addition to which there is a division. But it was drawn to the northwest and stationed in Nulin Province -- who to defend? Isn't it just to defend against Duwei!
Moreover, the remaining guards of the Diwang City still have to defend dìdū, not to mention a division.
Not a single regiment can be drawn!
So, there were about 50,000 reinforcements for Duweidi. 30,000 men were drawn from all over the south to the local garrison, and the rest were 20,000. is a reserve ground division. But it was when the Thor's Whip Legion was formed before. The rest of the ground reserves. Now a reorganized division has been put together, and it has been given to Du Wei as well.
When Du Wei heard it, he was in the command. rolled up his sleeves on the spot, and looked like he was going to make a big fuss with Camichiro!
What a joke! The situation at the front line is urgent. You sent me up with a disabled person in a wheelchair. It's already very inhumane! The soldiers given are not good soldiers! The local garrisons from the south are drawn from the south? What kind of birds do those local garrisons look like? I don't know yet! Is it okay to maintain law and order in the localities, but can you count on war?
As for that reserve ground division...... Hell, they were all the people who were left behind by the whip of the god of thunder, and they could come out of the land as they could imagine, and jīng sharply picked them up for the whip of the god of thunder. God knows what kind of crooked melons and bad dates are for the rest!
Don't do it, don't do it!
You bully me as a disabled person, and you don't talk about human rights!!
Du Wei set up a big fight, but Camisiro immediately relented, and he quickly pulled Du Wei aside. He smiled bitterly in a low voice: "My lord." Don't make trouble with me, these things are set by His Royal Highness the Regent. I don't think so. ”
Du Wei blinked his eyes: "That's okay, in that case, it's okay for me to take my own soldiers to the front line, right? It's Lao Tzu's broken family for the country!"
"It's not going to work either. Camicillo immediately and firmly refused: "Send private troops to the front." Without the nod of His Highness, it will never work! and...... Didn't you have a grassland border in the northwest before? Hmph. At this time, I'm afraid you can't adjust your private army. ”
Du Wei looked angry, but he was actually laughing in his heart: I knew this was the case.
Of course, I will not let myself bring private troops to the front!
The hand of the regent. Get yourself to the front and nominally give yourself more than 200,000 troops...... Actually, it's a game of wrists. Separate yourself from your own family roots.
After all, it was still too close to his own territory in the northwest, so he had to transfer himself to the front line, and to put it mildly, he gave himself more than 200,000 troops.
But those armies are all officers and soldiers! These are the old foundations of the Storm Legion, and there are also troops drawn from all over the country, all of which have their own generals, and they go up like this. In the short term. It is simply impossible to turn these armies into their own descendants.
Nominally, military power is in hand. In fact...... Why didn't he "lock" himself in an army of 200,000 in disguise?
Soldiers are not their own descendants...... Not to mention appointing me as the commander of the front. Even if you make me a marshal. It's also a light pole commander.
No way. Private armies cannot be transferred, but they must strive for some benefits.
Du Wei thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Camiciro." You've also been in the military. You should understand. As a general, if there are no veterans under his command who are used to it, this will start a war. It is inevitable that you will be constrained. These 50,000 people you gave me. I won't pick either. You can bring it with me, but I need to bring some familiar people with me, otherwise...... Lao Tzu will take the illness, and whoever wants to take this matter will take it. Anyway, I'm quitting!"
Camiciro smiled: "What do you want? If the conditions are too harsh, I can't help you. ”
"Hmph. Have you 'helped' me less? Du Wei smiled weirdly, which made Camisiro smile a little.
"First, I'm a magician. I'll take a few magicians to the front. It's my private business. This is not a violation. ”
"Of course. Camisiro nodded immediately: "The Imperial Code can't control this, you can bring as much as you like." I know that you, Duke Tulip, are the deans of the Imperial Academy of Magic. He is also a member of the Magical Society, and it is also your private matter to recruit magicians as your subordinates. ”
"Good!" Du Wei immediately pulled a clerk from the side: "Write down! Write it all down!
He coughed. Seeing that the clerk had no choice but to take the paper record, he continued: "I will not transfer my own army in the northwest anymore, but. When I went back to dìdū the year before last. I brought a thousand knights of the personal guard, which I brought to the front. It's not a violation.
"I remember that you brought back five hundred ...... the year before last There are not as many ...... as a thousand," just said this. Seeing Du Wei's eyes widen. Camiciro hurriedly nodded: "Okay! You are the Duke of the Empire, the status of a great nobleman, and it is normal to be used to the personal guards of your own family." A thousand personal guards cavalry, yes. ”
He thought to himself: five hundred or one thousand. Not much worse in terms of quantity. Five hundred more. In an army of 200,000 people, can we make waves? Such little things. What are you fighting for?
Du Wei immediately turned around and shouted to the clerk: "Write carefully! Don't change a word!"
Wait until this clerk finishes writing. Du Wei snatched it up. Took a look. Only then did he smile with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad." Keep writing. ”
He coughed, "Third." This batch of academies in the military academy this time. I've been studying for a year too. I will take some people to the front line to hone some actual combat training, not an exaggeration. ”
"Okay. Ten at most, though. These people are all seeds of the future, and they can't be given to you all at once. I have a lot of future arrangements here. People can't all be taken away from you. ”
"Ten is ten. My brother doesn't count as a quota!" Du Wei didn't let it go.
Camisiro thought about it for a while, it wasn't too big a deal, but it just let Duvedo occupy a place.
"The last one. Du Wei smiled: "Since the establishment of the Military Academy. I have seconded some soldiers with you to serve as sparring partners in the military academy. These soldiers are not very skilled, and besides, my students are all used to it. You can give it all to me. ”
As he spoke, Du Wei wrenched his fingers and said, "The first time was to borrow five hundred soldiers from the Dìdū Public Security Station. I want it. Later, he was seconded twice from the Wangcheng Guard. It was two thousand in all. I want it too. ”
Camiciro was a little embarrassed: "It's not difficult for the soldiers of the police station to give you, but the people of the royal city guards ...... You want two thousand at a time, I can't call the shots about this, you know the imperial decree. Local army movements. My command will be in charge. But...... Since the incident a few years ago, the transfer of more than 500 people in the royal city guards must be reported to the palace for an express order from the regent, although I am the Minister of War. There was also no power to mobilize the Guards of the Royal City. ”
"Then please go to the palace. Go and help me plead with Your Highness. Du Wei smiled lazily: "However, I believe that His Highness will definitely agree." ”
"Okay. "Camesilo doesn't want to entangle with Du Wei either, and there are only two thousand Kings City Guards on the left and right. Two thousand, not too many.
Du Wei laughed out loud. Grinning at Camissiro. patted Camiciro on the shoulder vigorously: "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance! Then the formalities are complete. ”
In the end, Camiciro couldn't twist Du Wei, so he could only sign this record and stamp it with the seal of the military department.
Watch this thing get your hands on it. Du Wei suddenly laughed, and then, under the stunned gaze of Camiciro and several officials from the surrounding military department. He suddenly got up from his wheelchair, flicked his sleeves, and swaggered in front of Camisilodi!
"You!! You legs!!" Camisiro changed sè: "You ......"
Du Wei snorted and said lightly: "I'm going to the front line, I can't really go in a wheelchair...... Well, let's just say. I, Du Wei, were worried about national affairs for the country, and I was in a hurry, and my leg disease suddenly recovered. This is also blessed by the gods. ”
After speaking, Du Wei nodded at the people in the military department and swaggered. Just walked out of the gate of the headquarters in a grand manner!
Watching Du Wei leave the ground. Looking at the wheelchair that Du Wei had casually left in the room, Camiciro couldn't help but smile wryly.
Alas...... Send him to the front. Put more than 200,000 troops of the empire in the hands of such a person. This decision...... Is that really true?
