Jiang Zhi commanded the 8th and 21st Army Corps to attack Guanhua County, and at first Gongsun Mi led his troops to resist for a while, perhaps because the difference in combat strength between the two armies was too great, or because the Gongsun family did not want to fight Ding Kui to the death, and finally withdrew from Guanhua County.

Without the support of the Gongsun family, Jiang Fang could not resist the attack of the small imperial army at all, but he did not escape, and was captured when the 92nd Division broke through the county seat, and was escorted to Hengfu City together with his wife, that is, Shaodianxi's daughter.

Ding Kui ended his meeting trip to Zhennan City and returned to Nanjing City to preside over the overall situation.

At this point, Nannuma Prefecture has all been included in the governance of the small imperial court, and Zhongwangzhou has actually been subordinated, and he wants to ascend to a higher and bigger stage, and he can't continue to nest in Juyang City or Nanqiu County.

Liu Yu, Fei Ze, Mu Heng, Mu Sen, Kong Ren and others gathered together to discuss government affairs with Ding Kui. The prison country is not often in Nanjing City, and there are children to feed at home, so he only symbolically shows up a few times and throws the stall to Ding Kui.

"In the future, we will hold regular court meetings, right?" Liu Yu made the first suggestion.

"Ah, who will sit in the court? The children of the prison country are young, and they can't be separated, and I don't come in line with the ancestral system, so the court meeting should be held in private. Ding Kui doesn't like to work in shifts, so let him sit in the court for three days to fish and two days to dry nets.

"How can the majesty of the imperial court be reflected without the imperial court? Mu Heng emphasizes a sense of ritual.

Fei Ze said with a smile: "The people who go to the court are all their own people, who will check whether there is anyone behind the curtain." This is a hint that Ding Kui used a dummy or stand-in to sit behind the curtain, and then changed back to the real one when Shaodian Luan was free.

Kong Ren gave Fei Ze a thumbs up and said, "Minister Fei always has a solution to the problem, high!"

"Yes!" Ding Kui couldn't think of any other way for the time being, "Then set a date and ask the prison country to officially sit in court until the king returns to the throne." ”

The appeal of the small court is to abolish the Shaodian and re-establish the Shaodian Seal, and the prison state cannot permanently replace the king, and finally the power must be returned to the Shaodian Seal.

Now that the Government Council can replace the Zhenjing City, the government affairs of the imperial court can be carried out smoothly, but the shortage of local officials has increased, and Weichen suggested that Lou Xiao should be asked to take charge of the Ministry of People's Livelihood of Nannuma Prefecture and let him select a group of officials to serve in the local government. Liu Yu officially declared himself a minister to Ding Kui.

Nine new counties were added, eight county guards were vacant, and there were dozens of city lords, and the small court could not find so many officials from the town side for a while.

Ding Kui has no opinion, his impression of Lou Xiao is not bad, an obedient snake can solve many problems.

Lou Xiao is Shaodianxi's henchman, and he doesn't have much contact with Zhenjing, Nannuma Prefecture is where his foundation lies, and his resistance to Shaodianluan and Ding Kui is not very strong, so he is a usable person.

Then it was Mu Sen's turn to report on the matter of money and food, the state treasury was empty, and there was still a surplus of other materials.

"The local armies have been disbanded, the 12th and 20th legions have temporarily taken over the local defenses, the cities and counties have readjusted their tax rates, and a part of the taxes will be collected at the end of the year, and it is expected that they will return to normal tomorrow. ”

In the past, there were three corps stationed in Nannuma Prefecture, and the military expenses were all paid by the state treasury, so even if four or five corps were raised, it would not be too difficult, provided that the agricultural and economic and trade activities in the whole state were normal.

"The new local army still needs to step up training, the naval army must be rebuilt, and the imperial court must allocate funds to Nannuma Prefecture. Ding Kui found that the land he had just laid had no income for the time being, and he had to post it upside down.

Now the main battle troops at his disposal are only the 8th and 21st Army Corps and the Protector Army, less than 200,000 troops, but the good news is that there is no battle to be fought for the time being, and he can rest and recuperate for a while.

"The railway from Nanqiu County to Nanjing City has been planned, and the railway from Nanjing City to Zhenjing City is being planned, and the construction of the railway requires a large number of laborers, can we borrow prisoners of war?" Mu Heng temporarily managed the Ministry of Industry.

"The new prisoners of war are all nationals, and it is not appropriate for them to be forced to do coolies, so let's do it, and those who do not have a life in their hands can use labor to reduce their crimes, and this applies to prisoners in custody throughout the state." ”

Ding Kui has always used foreign prisoners of war to do hard labor, but he has preferential treatment for his own prisoners of war, after all, those local troops are local people, and being too strict will inspire popular rebellion.

Fei Ze secretly bared his teeth at Mu Heng, the matter of the Ministry of Industry implicated the Ministry of Law, he had to immediately screen the prisoners in the whole state, this workload is not small, nineteen counties, more than 300 cities, an average of ten prisoners in each city, the total number is more than 3,000, just the file has to look at several days.

The Ministry of Rites is the most relaxed, and then the major event of the official sitting of the prison country in the court, but before Kong Ren was happy, Ding Kui said to him: "Come, follow me to the Commander's Mansion." ”

The General Staff Department and the Military Command Department were relocated again, from Nanqiu County to Nanjing, fortunately there is a special place, there is no need to renovate, and the relevant officials can bring the archives and documents to settle in and work.

"The Eighth Army needs to replenish its troops, Wang Chou's injuries are too serious, and it seems that he is going to retire early. "Jiang Xi is now equivalent to being in charge, and the affairs of the commander's mansion have to be handled by him.

"Wang Chou is retiring, who will take over his shift?" Ding Kui rubbed his temples.

It is not difficult to promote generals, but it is very difficult to promote to the Eighth Army Corps, he appointed Quan Wanyun to borrow the influence of the whole world, and Fan Yuzhen to borrow his own influence, who do you want to borrow for a new division commander for the 73rd Division?

"You must be a general of the regular army, and you need to make great military achievements, otherwise you can't serve the public. "Jiang Xi knows the rules of the Eighth Legion.

"Is it okay to be as cold as a blade?"

"It's almost meaningful, Xing Bao refuses to let go. Kang Sik replied on behalf of Kang Hee. Who will be the commander of the 73rd Division, he has the right to speak.

"In that case, which legion is willing to release the people?" Ding Kui was a little dissatisfied.

"The Protectorate. Kong Ren couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking.

"That's not going to work. Ding Kui himself smiled, "The Protector Army is still expanding, and there is a shortage of people." ”

"Biting off a piece of flesh and breaking off a few teeth of the Tenth Army Corps, not only the division commander, but also many middle-level officers need to be replenished. In the past, it was possible to select people all over the country, but now for those people, the battle losses of the Eighth Army are the most difficult to replenish. Jiang Xi didn't miss the past, he just sighed.

"Huh?" Ding Kui heard a key word, "Can't you choose nationwide now?"

"Needless to say, you're only the titular commander of the Military Command Department. Kong Ren couldn't help but smile, and the nominal commander was also his leader.

Jiang Xi didn't think so, his mouth opened slightly and he was stunned for a while, "You can try." He heard what Ding Kui meant.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Can an officer at the level of captain dig like this? Try a few more at a time, and it won't be so easy next time." ”

Kong Ren understood that Ding Kui really planned to send an order to the person in the photo.

Isn't Jiang Xi also from the Commander's Mansion in Zhenjing, ministerial-level commanders can dig not to mention generals, Jiang Zhi is even more excessive, and middle-level officers want to dig it.

In the entire Shaodian military, there must be a lot of people who have their hearts towards Ding Kui, and there are many factors that did not defect, if Ding Kui took the initiative to extend an olive branch, the result would be different.

It doesn't matter if people don't accept Ding Kui's appointment, he only has the mentality of giving it a try, and if he finds someone, he will succeed.

"That's it! I asked the Security Bureau and the New Intelligence Department to fully cooperate, and whoever the second uncle likes will say, I will find a way to send the order to him. "It's not that he didn't think about it before, but now he has better conditions, and the success rate of poaching people is higher.

At present, there are three major forces in the Shaodian Kingdom, and the strongest comprehensive strength is still the Zhenjing Imperial Court, with the largest number of regular troops and magicians, and the strongest foundation; second only to the Zhenjing City is the Xingbang City Imperial Court, which has the largest population and territory, and has the tendency to catch up later; Ding Kui, who won Nannuma Prefecture, was the last, and its advantage was that no one could prevent him from developing, and the first two major forces could not spare their hands to deal with him.

In the end, Ding Kui went to chat with Shao Dianxi again.

"What? you want to organize another clan mansion!" Shao Dianxi, who knew that Ding Kui was powerful, was still frightened, "This, this, this, the result is hard to say." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ding Kui might succeed.

The Shaodian clan is definitely the largest clan in the country, and its clansmen are distributed throughout the country, and there are not a few people who have become commoners, and there are also many people who enjoy royal privileges in the part of the clan government.

The more people, the more ideas, there are many factions within the royal family, Shaodian Shi and Shaodian Huang can't all be united, even Shaodian Huan, if that guardian can unite the clansmen, he won't be imprisoned in the forbidden land.

There are those who support Shaodian, and those who support Shaodianyong, then there must be those who support Shaodianfeng, anyway, it is the bloodline of Shaodian, everyone who supports it is the same, and whoever gives more benefits is orthodox.

The members of the royal family are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the powerful are naturally superior, and those who have no power and no power are not in the stream, but the power is not eternal, today to your house, tomorrow may come to my house, and those who do not enter the stream can also become superior.

Before Shao Dianxi became the king of Nannuma County, the vein he belonged to was only a medium power, and after taking charge of a state, he became a high-class power, and now, it will soon become unpopular, and he may lose his royal privileges in the future.

"If you had said it earlier, alas!" he regretted, he didn't expect Ding Kui to be able to break the balance of power within the royal family, otherwise he might be the new lieutenant now.

"When my son was born, you should have thought that Shaodian Yong could be king, why can't my son?" Ding Kui directly criticized Shaodian Xi for being short-sighted.

"If I knew that you could have today, those two would definitely join forces to suppress you, and nothing they said would make you grow up. ”

Ding Kui did not deny this, and said: "I really want to thank Shaodian Shi and Shaodian Yong for messing up the kingdom, but I should be even more grateful to the first king, without Luan'er marrying me, I am at most just a protector." ”

"The first king has a good eye for people, and the decision to let the eldest princess go to Juyang City is extremely wise, I don't understand that she is indeed not worthy of being a pastor in Nanmarsh Prefecture. If your thoughts can be known to the elders of the clan, someone will definitely contact you secretly. ”

"The king of Zhongwang County has recognized the identity of Luan'er as a prisoner, and is willing to build a bridge for me, I believe that the noble elders will soon know. ”

Shao Dianxi thought that Ding Kui didn't need to lie to himself, so he said: "You'd better show more strength, the elders' vision may not be better than mine, they are used to picking up ready-made." ”

Well, this sentence will get more benefits for your family. ”
