The end of the military era

Sometimes it is not good to be promoted too fast. After all, our relationship is there, and it is easy for people to gossip if we are promoted too fast.

In the future, our Zhou family army still has many big battles to fight, and there are still many opportunities for you. "

Wen Ximing was originally the deputy commander of the 20rd Infantry Regiment of the No.[-] Second Independent Brigade, a collateral descendant of the Wen family in Ganyang.

Later, the third infantry regiment was expanded into the Xiangshi garrison brigade, and Wen Ximing was promoted to the deputy commander of the Xiangshi garrison brigade, and this time he was promoted to the commander of the [-]th Infantry Division of the Zhenwei Army.

Xie Dong hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely be the leader of this regiment, and I won't embarrass him."

However, Xie Dong secretly said something in his heart at this time: I am actually not afraid of other people's gossip.

Of course, in this case, Xie Dong only dared to mutter in his heart.

"Sit down, sit down, stand up without moving, today we are just friends."

Zhou Rui actually understood in his heart that he, Wang Kui, and Xie Dong could no longer go back to the days when they called each other "Young Master Zhou, Young Master Wang, Young Master Xie".

Zhou Rui turned to Wang Kui and said, "Da Kui, I was going to arrange for you to go to Ganyang Industrial New Zone to take charge of a whole bunch of things.

But the coastal defense fleet said, you still want to stay on the warship, can your body take it? "

The Ganyang New Industrial Zone mentioned by Zhou Rui refers to an industrial zone built near the Heigou Coal Mine in Panlong Mountain.

Among them, in addition to the steel mills, arsenals, power plants, and shell factories obtained from the lottery system, there are also more than [-] factories such as chemical plants, machinery manufacturing plants, textile mills, paper mills, flour mills, and wood processing plants. Under construction.

The machinery and equipment of the chemical plant and the machinery manufacturing plant were all imported from the Barbarian Empire by Zhou Ruihua through Joanna, a fox businesswoman of the Barbarian Empire, at a high price.

As for the machinery and equipment of some light industrial factories, they can be bought within the territory of the Han and Tang Empires.

In addition, with the help of the resistance forces of the six major orc countries, tens of thousands of human technicians and human workers from the six major orc countries came to Ganyang City one after another and became the main force in the construction of Ganyang New Industrial Zone.

After the completion of this industrial area, which is dominated by heavy industry and supplemented by light industry, it will give the Zhou family a pair of wings to fly. For example, the problem of the shortage of artillery shells restricting the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet will be resolved immediately.

Wang Kui said: "Marshal, it's just that one arm is missing. It doesn't affect me too much. I don't need to do some physical work on the warship.

I still like to stay on a warship and enjoy the feeling of galloping on the sea. "

Zhou Rui didn't follow the event at Wanhualou at night, after all, Zhou Rui's identity was there.

If Zhou Rui went to Wanhualou tonight, the headlines on the front pages of every newspaper tomorrow would be all about Zhou Rui.

Wang Kui and Xie Dong did not leave Wanhualou that night, and they did not say goodbye at the gate of Wanhualou until noon the next day.

"Dongzi, I can't spend New Year's Eve in Ganyang City. I'm leaving by boat tonight. Take care."

"Da Kui, you too, take care.

Remember, you still have to be a godfather to my son! "

"You find your wife first, then talk about it!"

When Xie Dong returned to Xie Mansion in Ganyang City, his father Xie Qi came to find him.

"Xiao Si, what do you think of the second lady of the Kang family, Kang Xuejiao, that your mother told you about yesterday?

Although the Kang family can only be regarded as an ordinary wealthy family, the Kang Huai of the Kang family, who is Kang Xuejiao's eldest brother, is now very trusted by Marshal Zhou.

Kang Huai is now in charge of the new industrial zone on Panlong Mountain. "

Among the brothers in the family, Xie Dong was the fourth eldest, so Xie Qi called him the fourth.

Xie Dong smiled wryly and said: "Father, I only have a few days of vacation this time, and I have to go back to the army after New Year's Eve. I don't have time to think about these things."

"As long as you agree, you can get engaged first.

The second young lady of the Kang family, Kang Xuejiao, was the best choice no matter in terms of appearance or character.

You will be 25 after New Year's Eve, so you can't delay any longer. "

Xie Dong hesitated for a moment, "If it's the second young lady of the Kang family, I don't have any objections.

But the second lady of the Kang family, can you take a fancy to me? "

"Haha, Xiaosi, you are very famous in Ganyang City now.

If the Kang family didn't agree to this marriage, the father wouldn't do it for you.

By the way, about your third brother."

Xie Qi hadn't finished the rest of the sentence when Xie Dong interrupted, "Father, if the third brother wants to join the Zhou family army, he must follow the procedure.

Don't say I don't have the right to open the back door, even if I had the right, I wouldn't be able to do that. "

Chapter 138 Calling for Help

On the New Year's Eve of 1537 in Tianyuan, Zhou Rui spent in the Zhou Mansion in Ganyang City.

Zhou Rui, the envoy of Zhenwei Jiedu, is actually a bit strange, he rarely stays in Linxing City where Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is located, and lives in Ganyang City most of the time.

Although Ganyang City has been monopolized by the Zhou family, Ganyang City still belongs to Fengwu Town in name.

A Jiedu envoy who stays in another feudal town all year round will inevitably cause controversy, especially with the help of some people, the outside world generally believes that Zhou Rui has a peeping heart for the entire Fengwu town.

This made Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao very worried. In just half a year, Shen Xiao expanded the direct troops of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion to 3 infantry divisions and 7 independent brigades.

Among them, 5 independent brigades were newly formed, and the total strength of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion's direct troops reached 16.

And the various families in Fengwu Town saw Zhou Rui's vicious methods in Zhenwei Town, and quickly joined forces secretly to form a so-called anti-Zhou alliance to prevent the forces of the Zhou family from attacking Fengwu Town. expansion.

In August, Chu Yingying gave birth to a daughter for Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui named the eldest daughter Zhou Yan.

And Liu Yiqiu became pregnant soon after her wedding with Zhou Rui. According to her mother Wen Yu's judgment, Liu Yiqiu should be pregnant with a son.

In fact, Zhou Rui didn't care too much about having a daughter or a son.

But Zhou Rui didn't care, it doesn't mean other people don't care, after Liu Yiqiu became pregnant, Zhou Xiaorong sent a telegram to Zhou Rui directly, asking to strengthen the security around Liu Yiqiu to ensure the safety of Liu Yiqiu's mother and child.

Zhou Xiaozheng even transferred Zhou Rui's three master-level masters, Xiong San, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang, to Liu Yiqiu's side to protect Liu Yiqiu's safety.

In addition to Xiong Si who had been in charge of protecting Liu Yiqiu before, the number of master-level masters around Liu Yiqiu suddenly increased to four.

If Liu Yiqiu can give birth to a son, it means that the Zhou family has a third generation heir, and the huge family business of the Zhou family will not disappear in the future.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Xiaozheng brought Zhou Rui to the study, "What do you think about Fengwu Town?

I heard that there are rumors about our Zhou family spying on Fengwu Town everywhere outside. "

"Father, Guiying has already begun to infiltrate various forces in Fengwu Town. Once the time is right, I don't mind becoming the governor of the two towns."
