The end of the military era

At this time, Zhenwei Town still had 22 cities in name, among which three cities directly belonging to Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion: Linxing City, Tonghui City and Jingsheng City, all fell into the hands of Ganyang Zhou's family.

In fact, the city under the complete control of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion was Jingyang City before, but Jingyang City had already been ceded to Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

At present, Jingyang City is one of the cities directly under Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, and it is no longer among the 22 cities in Zhenwei Town.

It stands to reason that in the face of the strong entry of the Zhou family in Ganyang, the major families that control the other 19 cities in Zhenwei Town should follow the general trend and support the Zhou family in Ganyang to form a new Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

However, after the Ganyang Zhou family captured Linxing City and Tonghui City, the major families in the other 19 cities chose to remain silent.

In the various feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires, the replacement of Jiedu envoys is no longer news.

Whoever is stronger will be able to be a Jiedushi.

The Xu family was originally a powerful family in Zhenwei Town. More than 30 years ago, the Xu family took advantage of the war between Zhenwei Town and the Silver Wolf Empire to seize the position of Zhenwei Jiedushi.

The reason why the major families in Zhenwei Town chose to remain silent was because they were worried that they would get burned.

Don't forget, the Ganyang Zhou family has provoked the powerful Silver Wolf Empire, for which the Silver Wolf Empire has sent an expeditionary force.

If these families now support the Ganyang Zhou family as the new Zhenwei Jiedushi, it will give the Silver Wolf Empire a reason to expand the war, and it is very likely that the entire Zhenwei Town will become the target of the Silver Wolf Empire.

As for whether the Ganyang Zhou family can defeat the Silver Wolf Empire?

The families simply didn't think about it.

Even if the Ganyang Zhou family still has 11 battleships with full main guns, so what!

The results of the previous Xiangshi Island naval battle have proved that it is still impossible to build a powerful navy with only advanced warships, and a large number of naval professional technicians who can skillfully operate advanced warships are needed.

Moreover, this time the Silver Wolf Empire also dispatched a group army. Maybe even Linxing City and Tonghui City would have to suffer the baptism of war.

There are even several families in Zhenwei Town who are still planning secretly, hoping to catch a big leak in the end.

In a study room of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion in Xiushui City, Shen Du, the first division commander of Fengwu Army, said to Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao: "Father, the Zhou family has already captured Linxing City and Tonghui City." , which is equivalent to entering Zhenwei Town.

Now that the Zhou family has ruled Zhenwei Town, they should leave our Fengwu Town and withdraw from Ganyang City and Longshan City.

Moreover, the Zhou family had to be asked to withdraw from Ganyang City as soon as possible, otherwise Ganyang City might be implicated by the Zhou family this time.

The expeditionary force sent by the Silver Wolf Empire is already on its way. "

Shen Xiao then picked up two telegrams from the desk and handed them to his elder son Shen Du, "Both the Golden Lion Empire and the Scarlet Tiger Empire have promised to ensure the current order in Ganyang City.

We don't need to worry about the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire attacking Ganyang City. "

As the largest port city in the west of the Han and Tang Empire, Ganyang City is also the most developed city in the west of the Han and Tang Empire. The six major orc nations have many commercial interests in Ganyang City, among which the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire are the most important. most.

Shen Du hesitated and said: "Father, even if the Zhou family occupies Linxing City and Tonghui City in Zhenwei Town, I think the Zhou family is doomed this time.

Do we have to plan what will happen after the destruction of the Zhou family?

At least Tonghui City must be eaten. "

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and now the eyes of the entire Han and Tang Empire are focused on the Zhou family and the expeditionary army of the Silver Wolf Empire.

If we make some moves now, it will inevitably come true.

After all, the newspapers almost described the Zhou family as heroes who resisted the invasion of the Silver Wolf Empire. Let's wait until the Zhou family is really finished! "

On the morning of February 2th, at the wharf of Jingsheng Port, Zhou Xiaorong walked down the hanging ladder of the large armored cruiser Pinghai, and Zhou Rui immediately went up to meet him.

This time, there are more than ten warships arriving at Jingsheng Port with the large armored cruiser Pinghai.

Except for the warships secretly evacuated to Crescent Island, the remaining warships of the Coastal Defense Fleet have all been concentrated in Jingsheng Port at this time, even including the two ironclad battleships Zhenwu and Zhenji of the fourth formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet stationed on Xiwei Island. .

After Zhou Xiaorong saw Zhou Rui, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Major General, your surprise is too big.

Originally, I thought it would not be easy for our Zhou family to win Huitong City and Yiguang City this time.

Unexpectedly, the two largest cities in Zhenwei Town are now owned by our Zhou family.

Even Zhenwei Jiedu envoy Xu Wanpeng became a prisoner of our Zhou family. "

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I never thought that the situation in Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion would be so bad.

This made our Zhou family almost useless, so they incorporated the direct line troops of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, and Linxing City and Tonghui City naturally fell into the hands of our Zhou family. "

Zhou Xiaorong said with some sighs: "However, it is too expensive to recruit the troops of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, which is a full 8500 million silver coins!"

"Hehe, second uncle, do you think it's worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it. With Linxing City and Tonghui City, two cities with a large population, our Zhou family can truly have a foundation.

Just thinking of spending 8500 million silver coins all of a sudden, I still feel distressed enough. "

At noon that day, Zhou Rui set up a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion to welcome Zhou Xiaorong.

During the few days Zhou Rui stayed in Jingsheng City, he always lived in the City Lord's Mansion.

After eating, Zhou Rui and Zhou Xiaorong came to a study.

"Second Uncle, we can only rely on you, Second Uncle, to stabilize Linxing City and Tonghui City, and to reorganize the 6 Zhenwei Army."

Zhou Xiaorong came to Jingsheng City this time just passing by, and then Zhou Xiaorong will rush to Linxing City to preside over all military and government affairs in Linxing City and even Tonghui City.

According to Zhou Rui's intention, the seven direct line troops of the original Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion will be reorganized.

Among them, 4 infantry divisions will be mixed with the 4 garrison infantry brigades of the Ganyang garrison division.

The remaining three mixed infantry brigades will be mixed with Zhou's Fengwu Army No.3 Second Independent Brigade and the newly formed Xiangshi Garrison Brigade.

And the future establishment will eventually be in line with the Zhou family's original army.

You must know that the Zhou family's only division-level unit before, that is, the Ganyang garrison division, had a strength of 7.5 troops, while the Zhou family's brigade-level unit had a strength of 1.7.

Once these 4 infantry divisions and 3 mixed brigades are reorganized, the Zhou family's army will increase by more than 35 troops, and the total strength will be close to 50.

Zhou Xiaorong hesitated for a moment and said: "Major General, our Zhou family's original army has such a large establishment because of the lack of serial numbers.

Now that the nominal Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is under the control of our Zhou family, there will be no shortage of troop numbers.

I suggest that when reorganizing the original 4 infantry divisions and 3 mixed brigades of the Zhenwei Army, we can properly reduce the size of the establishment and expand the scope of the reduction to all the army units of our Zhou family. "

"Slimming? How to lose weight?"

"It is best to control division-level troops to about 3 people and brigade-level troops to less than 1 people.
