The end of the military era

You must know that even if the direct line troops of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion add up, the strength does not exceed 10. When the Zhou family army completes this new reorganization, it will become the largest armed force in Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

Zhou Rui said to Zhou Xiaozheng again: "Father, I am also planning to set up a marine regiment on the side of the coastal defense fleet, and the independent battalion on Xiwei Island will belong to the marine regiment in the future.

The Marine Corps will also station a battalion of troops on Crescent Island for a long time. "

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "I think it's ok, Shuonan Town has long established a marine force affiliated with the Shuonan Navy.

Ten years ago, in the war between Shuonan Town and the Bull Empire, the Marine Corps of Shuonan Town made great contributions, otherwise the Bull Empire would not have retreated so easily. "

Zhou Rui knew what his father Zhou Xiaozheng mentioned about the meritorious service of the Marine Corps in Shuonan Town.

At that time, more than [-] marines from Shuonan Town, boarding two light cruisers and six iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships, took advantage of the darkness to surprise a port where the Bull Empire was hoarding supplies.

Burning all the 10,000+ tons of combat materials in this port eventually led to the frontline troops of the Barbarian Empire being defeated because the logistics supplies could not keep up.

The Manniu Empire had no choice but to sit down and signed an armistice agreement with Shuonan Town, without reaping any benefits.

Then Zhou Xiaozheng suddenly changed the subject, "Xiao Rui, City Lord Sun asked someone to test your mother's tone a few days ago, and wanted to be a matchmaker for his second daughter, Sun Xiushu."

Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "Father, you have also met Liu Yiqiu, I am going to..."

Before Zhou Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Xiaozheng, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

Didn't you also like Sun Quan's second daughter very much before? You can marry both of those girls, one regular wife and the other ordinary wife, and that will solve the problem. "

As soon as Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, Zhou Rui's mother, Wen Yu, walked in holding little Zhou Yue, "Zhou Xiaozheng, do you also want three wives and four concubines?"

Zhou Xiaozheng quickly explained: "I mean our son, I, Zhou Xiaozheng, will be content with having you in my life."

Zhou Rui couldn't help laughing, his father's desire to survive was really strong.

Wen Yu turned her head and said to Zhou Rui: "Son, mother is very satisfied with that girl Liu Yiqiu, and has already recognized her as my daughter-in-law.

If you want to marry a flat wife, wait until you marry Liu Yiqiu into the house! "

"Mom, don't worry, your daughter-in-law must be Liu Yiqiu."

Although Zhou Rui was extremely infatuated with Sun Xiushu in his previous life, Zhou Rui's thoughts on Sun Xiushu have faded a lot after heavy work.

Even if Zhou Rui wants to bring Sun Xiushu into his family, he is not planning to marry Sun Xiushu, at most he will give Sun Xiushu the name of a concubine.

After the dog-licking counterattack, if you don't step on the woman who was licking, how aggrieved!

Just as Zhou Rui was reporting the Ganyang garrison expansion plan to his father Zhou Xiaozheng, the heads of the other five major families in Ganyang City secretly gathered together.

Cui Hong, the head of the Cui family, said in a deep voice: "The five of us gathered here today to discuss how to deal with the Zhou family's threat.

The Jiedu Mansion has already issued an official document to officially expand the Ganyang Garrison Brigade into the Ganyang Garrison Division. With the strong financial resources of the Zhou family, the Zhou family will inevitably expand their army in another wave.

Ladies and gentlemen, if our five families do not make any further moves, perhaps there will be only one Zhou family left in Ganyang City soon. "

Pang Yanqing, head of the Pang family, sighed and said, "Mr. Cui, even if our five families unite, so what?

The Zhou family controls the coastal defense fleet, and Ganyang City is a port city with a coastal defense fleet. The five of us can only watch the Zhou family expand its strength, so how dare we make any moves! "

Kong Hui, the head of the Kong family, sneered at this moment: "Mr. Pang, this is nothing! Why are you so scared?

I think it is because some people are afraid of wolves and tigers that the Zhou family is getting bigger and bigger. "

The relationship between the major families in Ganyang City is not good, and the conflict between the Pang family and the Kong family is even deeper. A few years ago, the Pang family and the Kong family merged once in Ganyang City.

Pang Yanqing's face changed almost instantly, "Kong Hui, don't speak in a strange way, if you are capable, the fifth independent brigade of your Kong family will go and destroy the Zhou family.

Kong Hui stood up all of a sudden, "Pang Yanqing, whoever you say is yin and yang, don't be shameless!"

"Let's talk about you! What's the matter, why don't you accept that our two families pull the troops out of the city to practice?"

"Practice and practice, our Kong family is afraid that your Pang family will fail!"

At this time, Cui Hong frowned and said: "Mr. Pang and Brigadier Kong, everyone should say less.

Now the Zhou family is the biggest threat to our five families. Our five families should unite sincerely so that we will not be driven out of Ganyang City by the Zhou family. "

The Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Xian, also smoothed things over: "Master Pang and Brigadier Kong, calm down.

We are here today to study how to deal with the Zhou family, so don't cause conflicts among us first. "

Both Pang Yanqing and Kong Hui snorted coldly, but they didn't continue to quarrel.

Dong Zhong, the Patriarch of the Dong Family, then sighed, "Speaking of a word that increases the morale of others and destroys one's prestige, even if the Zhou Family does not have a coastal defense fleet, the five of us may not be able to defeat the Zhou Family together.

Don't forget that the Zhou family also controlled five forts in Ganyang Military Port and Ganyang Mingang. In addition, Shen Zhi's third division was on the Zhou family's side. "

Chapter 86 The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit

The third division of Shen Zhi's Fengwu Army is the direct line of the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion. It belongs to a large-scale infantry division with a total of 25 people.

Because Zhou Rui had clearly expressed support for Shen Zhi's succession as Fengwu Jiedu envoy, so Shen Zhi has been very close to the Zhou family in recent days.

The Zhou family also donated 200 tons of rice and 200 tons of flour to the third division of Fengwu Army.

If the five major families fought with the Zhou family, Shen Zhi would probably send troops to help the Zhou family.

Cui Hong said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, the five of us have to make some moves. We can't just keep going."

The five people have been researching until the evening, but in the end they did not come up with any results.

No family is really willing to go to war against the Zhou family regardless of the consequences.

Because once the war started, the Zhou family could blow these five families to collapse just by relying on the large-caliber naval guns of the coastal defense fleet.

But if there is no war, how can the Zhou family's power be restrained from expanding?

For the five families, this has become an insoluble problem.

That night, in a study in Cui's mansion, Cui Hong sighed to his elder son Cui Tao, "Tao, my father is going to let you lead the third independent brigade and the newly formed No.20 third independent brigade. city."

How can a big family like the Cui family in Ganyang who has existed for hundreds of years not understand the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Liqu City is more than 400 kilometers away from Ganyang City, and it is a small mountain city with a population of less than 8.

Liqu City was controlled by Ganyang Cui's family many years ago, and the two infantry regiments of the Ninth Division of Fengwu Army controlled by Cui's family were stationed in Liqu City all the year round.

Although Liqu City can be regarded as a city, under the operation of Cui Family in Ganyang, Liqu City is not among the 28 cities under the jurisdiction of Fengwu Town.

In the administrative division of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, Liqu City is just a market town, so Liqu City only needs to pay a small amount of taxes to Fengwu Jiedu Mansion every year.

Cui Hong's words did not make Cui Tao show a surprised expression, "Father, didn't you discuss how to deal with the Zhou family?"
