The end of the military era

Cui Hong shook his head, "If our five families can work together, we might cause some trouble to the Zhou family, but it's a pity that none of our five families trust anyone."

Cui Tao said unwillingly, "Father, Ganyang City is the most economically developed city among the six towns in the southwest. Our Cui family has been operating in Ganyang City for hundreds of years. Should we just give up like this?"

Cui Hong looked solemnly and said: "As you said, our Cui family has operated in Ganyang City for hundreds of years, and Ganyang City is the root of our Cui family.

Don't worry, if it is not a last resort, as a father, we will not give up our Cui family's family business in Ganyang City, and let you bring the third independent brigade and the No.20 third independent brigade to Liqu City, it is for us The Cui family left a way out. "

After a pause, Cui Hong continued: "Although Liqu City has a population of less than 8, the villages and towns around Liqu City still have a population of 10,000+.

Isn't the No.20 Three Independent Brigade difficult to recruit?

When you arrive in Liqu City, you should be able to recruit the No.20 Three Independent Brigade soon. "

Due to the generous benefits and high settlement allowances of the Zhou family's army, the Cui family recruited recruits for more than three months after they were transferred from the No. 20 Third Independent Brigade, but they did not even have enough recruits for 500 people.

Even these recruits were recruited by the Cui family from several remote villages.

At present, more than half of the officers and soldiers of the No.20 Third Independent Brigade are drawn from the Ninth Division and the Third Independent Brigade.

What makes Cui Hong, Cui Tao and his son even more disturbing is that because of the high military pay of the Zhou family's army, the hearts of the Fengwu Army Ninth Division and the Third Independent Brigade controlled by the Cui family are fluctuating, and there are even deserters. Happened together.

As a last resort, the Cui family also increased the salaries of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division of the Fengwu Army and the Third Independent Brigade.

It's a pity that the military pay of the Cui family's officers and soldiers is still very different from that of the Zhou family's officers and soldiers.

Cui Tao nodded helplessly, "Father, don't worry, when I arrive in Liqu City, I will train the three infantry regiments, one supply regiment and one brigade-owned guard battalion of the No.20 Three Independent Brigade as soon as possible."

"Father is planning to sell some of our Cui family's properties in Ganyang City to raise funds as much as possible, so the establishment of the No.20 Three Independent Brigade can be organized according to your third independent brigade."

Cui Tao's eyes brightened, and he finally heard good news today.

His third independent brigade has five infantry regiments, one heavy cavalry regiment, one artillery regiment, one logistics regiment and one brigade guard battalion, with a total strength of 13500.

Cui Tao hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Father, as long as the weapons and equipment and funds can keep up, within half a year, I will definitely be able to form the No.20 Three Independent Brigade!"

Next, not only the Cui family, but the other four major families in Ganyang City also began to transfer some industries and troops to places outside Ganyang City.

Of course, none of these five families would give up Ganyang City easily, and the armies left by the five families in Ganyang City were secretly preparing for battle.

Faced with these actions of the five major families, Zhou Rui ignored them.

Do you think that this young master can let you go if you leave Ganyang City?

You are so naive!

In the future, the entire Fengwu Town will be the domain of Ganyang Zhou's family, so where can you escape to!

Although Zhou Rui is not a character who must retaliate, the other five major families in Ganyang City in the last life have done too much harm to the Zhou family and Zhou Rui.

In this life, Zhou Rui will never let these five families go.

The Zhou family ignored the actions of the other five major families in Ganyang City, but Shen Zhi couldn't sit still.

Shen Zhi took the initiative to come to the door, and said solemnly to Zhou Rui: "Nephew Zhou Xian, there is a word that I have to remind you.

Ganyang City is very, very important to Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, so Fengwu Jiedu Mansion will not allow Ganyang City to be monopolized by a certain family, even I have no way to violate it. "

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Shen, besides the family business in Ganyang City, our Zhou family now only controls three cities.

There is absolutely no intention of monopolizing Ganyang City. The expansion of the Ganyang garrison this time is mainly to prevent the Zhenwu Army from launching a counterattack against Jingsheng City.

In addition, Uncle Shen, you also know that Xiangshi City is not peaceful. The Silver Wolf Empire is eyeing the entire Xiangshi Island, and it will expand some army troops. I can't sleep well at night. "

Shen Zhi nodded, "It's good that nephew Zhou Xian thinks this way.

I value the Zhou family very much. After I succeed the Fengwu Jiedu envoy, the benefits the Zhou family will gain will be much greater than that of Ganyang City. "

After Shen Zhi left, Zhou Rui's face darkened instantly.

Anyone can write a bad check, but in the entire Fengwu Town, what benefit is greater than monopolizing a port city with a population of more than 200 million?

If the many villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Ganyang City are included, the population of the entire Ganyang area should exceed 400 million, accounting for almost one-sixth of the total population of Fengwu Town.

The economic aggregate of the Ganyang area accounts for one-third of the economic aggregate of Fengwu Town.

At this moment, Hu Yi, who was standing behind Zhou Rui, said, "Major General, the ghost has already begun to infiltrate the Third Division. Maybe it won't take long for the Third Division to pose no threat to our Zhou family."

"As for the officers who bought the third division, we must be more cautious in the selection. I don't want to offend Shen Zhi yet."

"Major General, don't worry, before we confirm the target of the acquisition, we will do a lot of preliminary investigations, and we will never make a blind move."

"Ah That's good.

By the way, how is Xiang Tao's injury these days? "

Chapter 87 A Different God of War

A few days ago, when Hu Yi returned to Ganyang City, he finally brought back Zhou Rui, the military god Xiang Tao who yearned day and night.

But when Zhou Rui saw Xiang Tao, Xiang Tao looked a bit embarrassed, with gauze wrapped around his head and arms.

When Zhou Rui learned about Xiang Tao's injury, he couldn't help wondering if Hu Yi had found the wrong person?

Xiang Tao was injured in Tiansheng City, but not in the Colosseum, when he was fighting fierce beasts.

It was because Xiang Tao seduced the concubine of a wealthy businessman in Tiansheng City, and was sent to be injured by the wealthy businessman wearing a green hat.

What made Zhou Rui even more speechless was that after Hu Yi's investigation, Xiang Tao did not act as a gladiator in the Colosseum in order to hone his martial arts and hope to be promoted to a master, unlike the newspapers in his previous life.

The truth is that Xiang Tao was forced to become a free gladiator in the Colosseum because of his debts to a casino in Tiansheng City.

As a free gladiator in the Colosseum, you will get a lot of money for every duel with fierce beasts.

Since Xiang Tao is a high-level martial artist, his salary is almost the highest, so he should have paid off the gambling debts in the casino soon.

But the problem is that Xiang Tao is too fond of gambling, and the more he gambles, the more he loses, and the more he owes his gambling debts. In addition, the gambling debts of the casino belong to rolling interest.

If Hu Yi hadn't appeared, maybe Xiang Tao would have difficulty repaying his gambling debts in his life.

In order to bring Xiang Tao back to Ganyang City, Hu Yi helped Xiang Tao repay a total of 18 silver coins to the gambling house.

Zhou Rui felt that in his previous life, Xiang Tao left Tiansheng City and went to Shuodong Town to join the Shuodong Army. He probably fled Tiansheng City in order to avoid debts.

Although Zhou Rui was reluctant to admit that this lecherous gambler was his idol, Zhou Rui had seen a photo of Xiang Tao in a newspaper in his last life.

Although Xiang Tao was much younger at this time, Zhou Rui could still recognize him as Xiang Tao, the military god of the Han and Tang Empires.

Hearing Zhou Rui asking about Xiang Tao's injury, Hu Yi smiled wryly and said, "Major General, Xiang Tao's injury should be nothing serious.
