Chapter 692: The Dragon of the Exercise Picks Up People
The marriage ceremony between the eldest princess and Ding Kui ended with the end of the luncheon, and Shaodian Dan left Ding Kui to discuss the new policy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The establishment of the new trade city was basically supported by everyone, but the disagreement was over the location of the kingdom, and the kingdom was a vast country with many cities, and there were many places to choose from, and the ministers had not yet reached a unified opinion.
The Guotong Iron and Steel Workshop was the most criticized, with a third of the major mines in the hands of the Maison, with Linhai, Hailin and Zhongwangzhou being the most opposed, focusing on the purchase price and transportation costs of the ore. The king briefly described the situation.
"What does the king want to do?" Ding Kui asked directly.
"I don't want to push you to the forefront, but you need to help the Treasury quell the opposition and give them a reason to convince others. "Shaodian Dan gave Ding Kui a secret.
"The problem of site selection is actually a conflict of interests, and I think that the first pilot can be placed in Ssangyong City, and if it goes well, the second batch can add a few more cities, and the number of places is enough to balance the interests of all parties, so we don't have to fight.
The steel mills can take their time, isn't there still two-thirds of the mines in the hands of the kingdom? first reduce the cost of the state-owned mines, and slowly reduce the kingdom's expenditure on purchasing steel, and the price of steel will naturally fall. Ding Kui didn't even think about convincing others.
"Well, do you mean to force the private workshop to close down? But the ore will not be broken if it is not sold, and it will not be reduced for hundreds of years. "Shaodian Dan is not very relieved.
"If you are used to collecting money, it will be very uncomfortable if it suddenly is less or even gone, and those big families can't even bear to make a little less, how can they stand not making or losing money. The kingdom didn't want to crush them, it just wanted a reasonable purchase price, and the mine owners would eventually accept it with half a push. "Ding Kui thinks about problems from a different angle than the king.
Mine excavation relies on manpower, and the inability to sell ore will affect many people, and the mine owner will not only not make money but also bear a huge expense, which is obviously inferior to the state using criminals and prisoners of war to open mines.
"Hehe, the afterlife is terrifying, it's just that there is a hard fight in the rush. The new deal, you have to implement it to know whether it is good or bad, lonely and old, and afraid to do things, you can't even think of doing it first. Okay, you go back first. Shaodian Dan made a decision in his heart.
When he returned to the Protectorate Mansion, Ding Kui saw Liu Yu waiting for him in the study.
Liu Yu asked eagerly: "Young master, has the king asked you to come forward to support the new policy?"
"No, maybe he's embarrassed to use his new son-in-law as a shield, saving me the effort of trying to make excuses. After the episode at the luncheon, Ding Kui also thought that the king would let him go to the government council to explain.
"That's good, that's good. Liu Yu was relieved.
"Leaving me after the ceremony is no different from letting me come forward, right? ”
"It's different, as long as you don't tear your face apart, you can sit down and talk about many things, the people who participate in the negotiation can take the initiative, and conflicts of interest are best resolved through negotiations. "Liu Yu is quite realistic, and the person who negotiates on behalf of Ding Kui is the most likely person.
In addition to war, conflicts between nobles can also be resolved through negotiation, and if they can negotiate, try not to do anything, although Ding Kui doesn't like this style very much, but he has to accept it when his absolute strength is not strong.
"I should be able to return to Nanqiu County soon, right? I, as a captain of the border guards, can't stay in the capital all the time. ”
In terms of military orders and military law, Liu Yu is naturally the most familiar, and it is most appropriate to ask him.
"It should be, there are no special circumstances where you can catch up with the confrontation exercises of the 201st Division and the 206th Division. "The news sent by Nanqiu County is now handed over to Liu Yu first.
"Our division and the 206th division are exercising?" Ding Kui learned the news from Liu Yu's mouth.
"That's right, it's tentatively scheduled to be held in Nanqiu County later this month. Liu Yu took out a piece of information and gave it to Ding Kui.
"What do you think?" Zhang Jie asked Ji Liangchong privately.
"The 206th Division chose this time to ask us for exercises, obviously to see that Captain Ding was not there. Without Captain Ding, the combat effectiveness of the first brigade will be at most 70 percent, and the combat effectiveness of our division and regiment will drop by 10 percent.
Commander Deng always believed that the 206th Division had the highest overall quality, so it was better for us to take the plan and meet it with reality, and take the 206th Division by surprise, so that Commander Deng could understand the strength of our elite soldiers. "Liang Chong has an idea.
"Can Ding Yu command the first brigade well?" Zhang Jie knew that the first brigade had been led by Ding Yu recently.
"The first brigade under the command helps Ding Yu, and it is not a big problem to deal with this exercise. "Liangchong has a good relationship with the first brigade and can talk to Ding Yu.
"Okay, you go to the first brigade. Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, one less person in the 201st Division is not his opponent in the 206th Division. This time he is going to lose, Lao Tzu took the lead in jumping through Yuanjiang!" Zhang Jie is also a temperamental person.
After the victory of Zhenbeiguan, because the first brigade won the first merit, he did not compete with other divisions and regiments for tasks in the later stage of the war, and he had long held back an evil fire in his heart. This time, the 206th Division came to the door, and he decided to sprinkle this evil fire on the 206th Division.
Border guards often organize exercises to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, and military orders are issued at the regimental level. Troops without the desire to win are not even as good as the local army, and the commander of the regiment is happy to see his men compete with each other, as long as they do not cause casualties, and the more fierce the fight, the better.
The 201st Division and the 206th Division are the main forces of the 21 st Army Corps, and who is the well-deserved descendant of the Corps? Both divisions and regiments thought that it was themselves, but Gu Jun never expressed his attitude and allowed Zhang Jie and Deng Biao to engage in a war of words.
This time, the divisional confrontation exercise was proposed by Deng Biao, and Zhang Jie determined that the location was on the plain between Juyangcheng and the pass of Hump Mountain, and Gu Jun finally set it for 21 October.
The 206th Division set up its camp under the Hump Mountain Pass, which was relatively more advantageous, because it was impossible to be attacked by the 201st Division on three sides; the 201st Division's camp was camped to the west of Juyang City, although it was open but it belonged to their defense area, and it was obviously more familiar with the terrain than the opponent.
The subject of the exercise is to capture the flag, and whichever division or regiment brings the opponent's Chinese army flag back to its own camp will win the final victory in the exercise.
Ding Kui hurriedly walked out of the Southern Demon Branch, and bumped into Long Tan with a hippie smile head-on.
"Why are you here? Aren't your divisions practicing with our divisions?" Ding Kui asked in surprise, "No, you are a noble son giving gifts to a poor village girl, and you don't have a good heart at all." ”
"Eh, brother-in-law, you can't just marry the eldest princess and forget my sister-in-law. Long Tan gave Ding Kui a warm hug, "I'm here to pick you up." Knowing that you are not in the army, I specially asked Lord Deng for leave and did not participate in this exercise. The 201st Division is missing you, and the 206th Division is missing me, so everyone is fair. ”
Ding Kui stared at Long Tan for a while, and suddenly asked, "When will the drill be held?"
"This will just start, don't think about the drill, invite me to have a drink or two, and tell me how beautiful the eldest princess is. Long Tan pulled Ding Kui and left.
"Wait, you said you came to pick me up, what about the war horse, are we going back to Nanqiu County?" Ding Kui shook off Long Tan's hand.
"War horse? I didn't know that you came back today, and I have been waiting for you here for several days, and the war horse stayed in the south branch of Qinan, and it was inconvenient to take two horses with you. Long Tan's explanation made sense.
Ding Kui's eyes widened, and he said viciously: "The troops are exercising, you came here to pull me to drink, Lord Deng is not your father, I think you have a problem." Are you trying to hold me back and keep me from going back to the exercise?"
"The drill has begun, why am I dragging you on? Are you scared and timid by the assassins? Don't always think that someone wants to harm you, is your eldest brother and I like that?" Long Tan was not frightened by Ding Kui's appearance.
"I received the news that the exercise only started in late October, and today is the 17th, as long as I hurry up, I can rush to Juyang City on the 21st. It's not so easy to deceive me, there is a magic communication array in Giant Sheep City, and I can figure it out by going back and interrogating. Ding Kui stood still and no longer followed Long Tan forward.
"You go, you go, you're really careful, who do you think I am?" Long Tan was annoyed and ashamed.
"If you go, you will go, it is not good for me to stir up the law. "Ding Kui knows that Long Tan is a human being, and he often finishes psychological warfare with his opponents.
"You! I'm going to break you off if you do this again. "Long Tan was surrounded by his own words, and it was not good to hard Latin Kui.
"Tell your sister this. Ding Kui walked into the door of the magic branch without looking back.
When Ding Kui walked out of the door of the magic branch again, he still saw the face with a cheap smile.
"You still have the face to wait for me here? Get out of the way, don't stop me from rushing back to the drill. Ding Kui really summoned back to Juyang City to ask, asking for the exact time of the exercise.
"Hehe, everyone is their own master, and I have no choice but to do some things. Long Tan is taller than Ding Kui, and his face is thicker than Ding Kui, "But I did come to pick you up, the war horse really stayed in the Qinan Branch, and I took you over to get it." Just don't delay you in rushing back to Giant Sheep City, right?"
Ding Kui followed Long Tan suspiciously, not to go to the Qinan Branch, it would take time to buy horses in the horse market, and he could still borrow horses in his capacity at the Qinan Branch.
On the post road from Nanjing City to Juyang City, four horses were galloping, but there were only two people on horseback. Long Tan really had war horses left in the Qinan Branch, and there were only four of them, which was enough for him and Ding Kui to hurry.
"I didn't expect you to be quite crisp after I saw through the trick, it's too different from yours. Ding Kui said as he hurried.
"What is my personality?" Long Tan didn't even say nonsense.
"You, you will never stop until you achieve your goal, and you will do whatever it takes. ”
"Tut-tut, it's too faceless. ”
"Do you still have that thing?"
"I don't like to hear what you say. Ding Kui, I want to challenge you!"
"Yes, but not now, I'll be there after the exercise. ”
"You coward, it's a shame for the Assassins. ”
