I’m The King

Sun Xiao had already left, and only Gao Yuan and Ning Xin were left in the room. For a while, the two had nothing to say. Ning Xin sat next to him, looking at Gao Yuan's profile. It was a sharp, angular, resolute line. His face, looking at the fire with both eyes at this time, looked calm, and occasionally pulled a shallow arc at the corner of his mouth, obviously thinking of something beautiful and happy.

Ning Xin has been in the East Army for a long time, and she has a deep understanding of the system of the East Army. As Ning Zecheng’s only daughter, she is familiar with politics and is no stranger to politics. She didn't know much about the actual operation, but today she saw a living version, and she dismissed Sun Xiao's warplane without making any changes.

As one of the old brothers of Gao Yuan, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng have always been the strongest factions in the Eastern Army. Whether it is military or civil affairs and intelligence systems, they all occupy a prominent position. This is for a stable For the regime, this structure is obviously unstable. So first, Cao Tiancheng withdrew from the logistics system and turned to run a trading company. Now Sun Xiao has withdrawn from the military system. Only Cao Tianci is left to control the Supervisory Yuan. Unconsciously, their strength has been lost. Not much remains to be disintegrated.

Of course, Ning Xin also believes that this is necessary. In a political system, it is impossible to have a mountain, but if a mountain is too strong, it will inevitably threaten the main peak. Even if the mountain is faithful, there will be problems like this. Only putting all the problems out in the budding state is the safest way. Of course, this is also the best way to maintain friendship.

Next year, the Zhengdong Army will definitely be a great year to expand its armaments and prepare for war. After the Loop is taken, the Zhengdong Mansion will greatly alleviate the demand for food and even have more power. Anlu’s iron and copper mines have eliminated the biggest bottleneck that originally restricted Zhengdong Mansion. If Liaodong is taken, there will be more abundant mineral deposits there. Ning Xin doesn’t know how Gao Yuan knows this, but she always feels confused when she hears Gao Yuan ridicule Donghu people who are deep in Baoshan without knowing it, guarding the golden bowl to beg for food. In her cognition, Donghu people dominate. Liaodong is rich in ginseng and various furs. Herbs, but I haven’t heard that there are rich mineral deposits there.

"Which propaganda team matters, do you have eyebrows?" While thinking, a loud voice suddenly came from her ears, Ning Xin's heart jumped, and she quickly retracted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Gao Yuan had turned her head back, her eyes gleaming. Look at yourself.

"How can it be such an easy thing, but for those slangs, I have almost prepared the script. Manpower is still in the selection, it is best to recruit some theater troupes from the Central Plains, and start faster." Ning Xin said. .

"Yeah. Just watch and do this." Gao Yuan nodded. "Those Huns who killed Donghu Tuobahong and plan to vote for us in the East Mansion. What do you think of this matter?"

Ning Xin was a little unaccustomed to the rhythm of jumping high and far. When I was talking about one thing, I suddenly jumped to another topic. After thinking for a while, he said, "This group of Huns is different from the tribes who came to take refuge in the past. This time, a dozen or so tribes united together and ambushed Tuobahong and intercepted all the thousands of Donghu people. It really helped. We are very busy, but it is precisely because of this incident that they have the opportunity to unite together. They are naturally welcome to vote, but they are too powerful to serve our interests."

"You are right, but when they come to vote, we can't chill their hearts." Gao Yuan said thoughtfully, "I have to think of a way to check and balance them."

"They are very poor and can start economically. Didn't you do well in Jishicheng?"

"Allocate land to them?" Gao Yuan thought for a while. "Specific things are divided into different groups. These tribes are gathered together. I summoned their leaders once. There are already leaders among them. If they are given land, they will gather in At the same time, it is easy to cause trouble. I have to think again about this matter. I will discuss with Mr. Jiang and the others before making a decision. These Huns are all mobilized and can gather tens of thousands of cavalry, which is a great force. For the current Hetao, it is also a vital strength. Just relying on He Lanyan to check and balance is fine for a short time, but not effective for a long time."

Ning Xin nodded: "You have to be careful about this."

"I'm here to help Sun Xiao a little bit more. You have to worry more about this matter. You have to split up and get together. It's all done." Gao Yuan said: "He Lanyan is recruiting some cavalry from inside, but not too much. Therefore, the main thing is to start from other aspects to prevent them from forming a joint force."

"I see."

After saying this, Gao Yuan suddenly slapped his hands, "Okay, these are all small details, they are all precautions, don't worry, you can only take your time, ha, I'm going back to Jishi City soon, let’s come out this time. For several months, her son was not by Jing'er's side when she was born, so she may be so angry in her heart. This time she will go back and accompany her well."

Ning Xin was thinking about it again, and finally pulled herself back from the affairs of the Huns. "Jing'er is a sensible person. How can she blame you on this?" She smiled and took out a jade pendant from her arms. , Handed it to Gao Yuan, "I don't know how long I will stay in Hetao, nor can I go back to congratulate Jing'er, but the gift is ready. This jade pendant is not bad. I gave it to Xiaoxing."

The things that people like Ning Xin brought out are naturally not bad. For people like her, where ordinary jade can get into her Dharma vision, Gao Yuan took it and happily carried it into his arms. He didn’t understand it anyway. In short, it must be good.

"I've been in Hetao for so long, and I have never heard you play the piano. Back then, in Jicheng, I just listened to it, but I wanted to hear it. Jing'er always said that this piano skill is less than one-tenth of yours. "

"I came to Hetao, where I carry the Yaoqin, and a good one is rare. My original one has already been given to Jing'er. If you want to listen, you don't know when you have to wait." Ning Xin smiled.

Touching his chin, he said far away: "When I go back this time, someone will find a good violin for you. Your skills can't be abandoned, it's a shame."

"Then I'm just waiting for the Governor to make your piano."

"Of course, it doesn't count when I speak." Gao Yuan smiled.

Ning Xin rolled her eyes, and she thought that it was too much time for you to say nothing. The only thing that can be useful for her words is to treat her.

On the road from Dayan City to Pioneer City, the snow has been trampled on. Hundreds of soldiers will be escorted by dozens of two large vehicles, and they are advancing with difficulty in the mud, and the flag whizzing in the wind clearly shows that this is a soldier of the Third Division of the First Army of the Eastern Army Northern Field Group. .

These people are Chen Bin’s troops. They finally waited for the latest ordnance on the fifth day after Gao Yuan left Dayan City. According to Gao Yuan’s previous arrangements, Chen Bin got what he wanted the latest batch of weapons. Ordnance, and then left Dayan City in a hurry, he couldn't help but worry. Seeing that the snow is melting, he must lead his troops to Tengger before the weather is completely warm, otherwise the snow will melt and the road will be muddy and difficult to move. Thousands of prisoners of war, plus countless luggage, marching will become a big problem. If you arrive one day earlier, you can start one day earlier, and you will soon be thawed. We are faced with spring sowing, which involves the army’s food for next year, which can't be delayed.

Dong Zhuang ran to the back of a horse-drawn carriage stuck in the mud, holding the cowl with both hands. Shouting the chant, he pushed the cart out. The cart was filled with weapons sealed with greased paper. Heavy thief, this snow is not as hard as it was a few days ago. It's completely unstressed. If you can't go far, it will sink again, and you have to push the big guy, but Dong Zhuang is also used to it. Anyway, what he has is The strength is the new quilted jacket that he has just sent down. This is what he received in Dayan City. The one that was sent before, after a big battle, will not look like it, and it is almost like a beggar. This new padded jacket is just warm to wear. Compared with the previous days in Yuyang County, the court issued it thicker. I stretched out my hand and touched it. It was soft, and the cotton in it was very solid. In Yuyang, it was thicker. The padding is not cotton, but some silk, which is too poor in warmth retention. Speaking of which, the equipment of the Zhengdong Army is much better than that of when he served as a soldier in the imperial court. A regular soldier like himself, in addition to the clothes of the owner, is equipped with a horizontal knife and a dagger. , There is also a chain mail. I heard from Master Chen that this time their division, all members will be equipped with chain mail. This is the first one among the entire army of the East Expedition. Other armies, a large part They are still leather armor.

And what made Dong Zhuang most happy was his military salary. He paid one or two real money a month. He joined the Eastern Army for just two months and received two taels of silver. No one deducted it. Originally, he was prepared and could get half of it. Just thank God, when the quartermaster handed him two taels of silver, he was still shocked for a while. However, compared with the payment of silver, the rewards for this war are even more generous. For Dong Zhuang, because of his outstanding performance, this time he took a full ten taels of rewards. This is the military payment for the past year. For Dong Zhuang , This is a large sum of money, a large sum of money he has never seen before.

In addition to money, there are also fields. Although he hasn't got it yet, Dong Zhuang heard from Captain Fu Xiao that a regular soldier like them can get a hundred acres of land in Hetao. Dong Zhuang trembled a little when he thought of the one hundred acres. With this field, the family will never go hungry anymore, they will eat to their fullness, and no longer have to go hungry.

Thinking of this, looking at the figure of Fu Xiao in front of him, he couldn’t help being very grateful. Captain, I’m a company commander now. From being a prisoner in Yuyang to this Hetao, he took care of himself all the way. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have joined the special service team. Among the thousands of people who came over at the time, very few were like myself. I heard that there were only dozens of people. I heard that less than half of them survived in the end, but they died. It’s nothing. The Zhengdong Army has a lot of money for pensions. I have also asked Fu Xiao that the pensions will be sent to the families of these war dead. If their families are willing to come to Hetao, Tian will also divide them. The home of the war dead ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is not taxed for farming.

It's worth the death! Dong Zhuang sighed in his heart. Looking at the civilians who followed the convoy, he really sighed in his heart. Among them, there were many comrades in Yuyang who had not participated in this battle, so naturally they would not be able to be soldiers, and they would not be able to divide fields. Now Looking at Dong Zhuang's eyes, they were all envious, and many people who knew Dong Zhuang came to ask him if he could join the army.

However, Dong Zhuang is just a squad leader now, and recruits troops. The East Army has a special organization, but he can't just pull people, no matter where he is the master.

"Or when you get to Tengger, you can help them, first turn these people into auxiliary soldiers, and then you must have been comrades-in-arms before. If you can help, you must help."

"Dong big man, eyes grow to the back of his head, don't hesitate to come and help." There was a roar from the front, Dong Zhuang quickly raised his head, and the front company commander Fu Xiaozheng stared at him. In front of him, there was a big car. The car sank in the mud again. He sighed, glanced at the new jacket that had just been wiped clean with snow, and ran over in strides. "Come here, company commander!" (To be continued...)
