The short man's words didn't make the few "masters" present panic - everyone has been doing this for a year or 20, and what wind and waves have not been seen?

Obviously, they weren't too worried, after all, it was like this before, every time they finished a vote, the government would definitely make a move even if it was pretending, so keep a low profile during this time, hide well, and everything will be fine when the limelight is over.

After all these years, isn't it all like this?

The so-called three caves of cunning rabbits, they are not only this stronghold, but there are four whole places, Chutai Mountain, Zhaizi Mountain and other places.

But at this time, a young man who looked at Sven came over and arched his hand: "Boss! This time the situation is not quite right, and we are reminded to be very careful. ”

On the side, the bearded strong man picked up a glass of wine, took a big sip on his neck, and then scolded: "White monkey, are you tinkering with your broken radio station again?" Do you really believe in the British? Do you believe what they say? ”

But the young man insisted: "It has been right many times in the past, and it must be possible this time, why did the British deceive us and a bunch of thieves?" Maybe the officials and soldiers are really moving. ”

"The British are indeed happy to see the government go to great lengths to suppress us, but they must be right?" The short leader said dismissively.

Due to military and political needs, MI6 has been infiltrating the Ming Dynasty for many years, and in addition to stealing intelligence, surveying and mapping port areas, and exploring transportation hubs, supporting bandits and rebel gangs in the Ming Dynasty is also an important part.

Although most of the time the latter hit it off with MI6, after all, who doesn't want extra help?

But they were wary of receiving help, because they knew that the Europeans were taking advantage of them.

"However, at the end of the day, the British don't want to see us destroyed, so they can't have designed to frame us." Wan Tianhu, who was at the top seat, wrapped in a big snack, and eating dim sum, finally spoke, "Send a few more waves of brothers, this time have more dim sum, and inquire carefully." ”

The boss speaks, how dare he disobey?

Wan Tianhu's understatement made the people who had just disagreed suppressed, and they all took orders together.

So they quickly discussed it again, and successively sent five or six clever guys out of the stronghold, dressed as hunters or mountain people collecting medicine, to find out the movements of the Ming army outside the mountain.

In fact, the incident of the bandits' raid on Yiling Prefecture not only shocked the Ming and the opposition in the Ming Dynasty, but also provoked a lot of discussion among the people, and public opinion in various countries around the world also criticized it.

The Times, for example, bluntly commented: "It is inconceivable that organized bandits will attack cities in a civilized country, and British citizens in Daming should pay attention to their own safety and avoid going to the suburbs...... Condolences to the local civilians who have been victimized......

Although public opinion has ulterior motives, it is true, and there is nothing to quibble, this matter makes the Ming monarchs and ministers feel quite embarrassed.

Therefore, on the morning of the 14th, Zhou Changfeng just hung up the inquiry phone call from the Shannan Governor's Office, and then another phone call came.

"Why do you keep busy?"

As soon as you hear this voice, you know it's that woman!

Zhou Changfeng, who was a little helpless, replied very succinctly, "Just now, the Governor's Mansion was asking about the specific progress. ”

"That's why I called. How long will it take for this to be resolved? ”

"Uh... This is not certain, it is time-consuming to search the mountains, and it is impossible to determine whether the tracking will go smoothly or not. ”

Zhu Lingjing's tone was very calm, "In short, you have to solve it as soon as possible, recently the military department plans to set up a military expedition team to go to Franc Ji, in a few days, as soon as the news is made public, you will sign up first, understand?" ”

Military expeditions? Going to Spain?

If you want to say that you are not interested, it must be false, Zhou Changfeng feels that he is an idle person.

But why did you call to remind you of this in person?

"Why? What are the requirements? He asked, surprised.

"Resume, do you need me to say more?" Zhu Lingjing, who was on the other end of the phone, continued to say nonchalantly: "The expansion of your unit is inevitable, and the commander of the first brigade must be at least a colonel, do you think that if you follow the step-by-step order, you can still be promoted before the end of next year?" ”

Hiss! This sentence is quite informative.

First of all, the 1st Marine Regiment will definitely be expanded by the end of next year, and it will be expanded into brigades.

This is reasonable, because the establishment of the Marine Corps is essentially just an experimental product, and if it wants to carry out combat missions independently, no matter how many support units are stuffed, it must at least have to be at the brigade level to effectively display its combat effectiveness.

If he hadn't been promoted to colonel before then, he would have parachuted a brigade commander over.

On the contrary, if he can be promoted to colonel, according to Zhu Lingjing's meaning, this position of brigade commander will definitely not be able to run.

And he is too young to accelerate his promotion in peacetime, and this time he has made meritorious contributions to suppress stubborn bandits, and on the other hand, he can also accumulate his resume by going overseas to investigate the war.

In fact, in his own plan, the goal was to be promoted to colonel, three years to brigadier general, and five years to major general within a year after the outbreak of the war, but at the moment it seems likely that it will be accelerated?

Zhou Changfeng, whose eyes were wandering, replied after a few seconds: "I will try my best to strive for the bandits to be beautiful this time." ”

Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone said "um", "If there is a need in the future, just speak directly, don't be stingy." Then he hung up the phone.

She has now basically planned the course of the future, and the last time she tried the emperor and got permission, this shows that the future is promising.

Since the royal forces need a new, influential, and mediator, they simply take it upon themselves.

Entering politics and entering the political arena requires support from many aspects, and it is best to have your own lineage, especially generals in the military circles.

Obviously, those cunning middle-aged and elderly generals will at most temporarily obey the call because of the convergence of interests, and it is unrealistic to expect them to become their real people.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate one of your own people from scratch, so that you must be loyal, this is the serious lineage.

So the up-and-coming Zhou Changfeng was caught by her eagerly, and she was afraid that she would be preempted by others if she moved slowly.

Now it seems that the trend is good, and if all goes well, she will have a twenty-eight-year-old colonel in charge of a brigade, which makes her quite self-conscious - my grades are very impressive, right?

At her accommodation, Su Yiyi, the female attendant standing on the side, listened to the conversation just now, and couldn't help but complain a little in her heart.

Seriously, Your Highness, your speech is really ugly.

Only... There is an invisible strange feeling, which can make people feel uncomfortable, which can be called magical.

If you want to talk about temperament and behavior, Su Yiyi thinks that Zhu Lingjing is very good, and she is not rude and unreasonable, but this rhetoric is really helpless.

Recalling her conversation with Zhou Changfeng, the corners of Su Yiyi's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, thanks to someone who was also good-tempered that week, if she changed someone, I was afraid that she would not be angry with the princess.
