Chapter 316: Mulan Fortress

On January 5 of the second year of Gaia, Mulan visited Shanhai City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Before coming, Mulan Yue had already greeted Ouyang Shuo in advance. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo's reception was very grand, and all the four directors arrived, including Du Ruhui and Bai Qi, who had just hurried back from the camp in the west of the city.

Ouyang Shuo even invited members of the Shanhai Alliance to witness this historic moment together.

Under the auspices of Fan Zhongyan, Mulan County officially withdrew from the Shanhai Alliance, dissolved the alliance with its allies, and became a member of the Shanhai Domain, and all external affairs will be decided by the Shanhai Territory.

Mulan Yue and Ouyang Shuo signed a contract to change the alliance between the two parties to a subordinate relationship.

Mulan County was officially renamed Mulan City.

Mulan Mansion was established, including the original Mulan County and three affiliated county seats, with Mulan City as the governing place.

Ouyang Shuo, in the name of the Marquis of Lianzhou, officially appointed Mulan Yue as the prefect of Mulan Mansion, and at the same time appointed all director-level officials of Mulan Mansion.

So far, Mulan Mansion has been integrated with the mountains and seas, both legally and substantially.

In addition to the disposal of Mulan Mansion, Ouyang Shuo also has arrangements for Mulan Yue personally.

Mulan Yue is a first-class earl, and she is the second nobleman in the territory after Ouyang Shuo. Therefore, in addition to the official position of the prefect, Mulan Yue will also enjoy a series of benefits as a nobleman.

Official positions are subject to change, and they are subject to the jurisdiction of the Lianzhou Marquis, while the treatment of nobility is permanent.

Ouyang Shuo divided Mulan Mansion as Mulanyue's permanent fiefdom, and 20% of Mulan's monthly financial revenue will be transferred to Mulanyue's personal account for her expenses.

In addition, the Construction Division will also build an earl's mansion in Shanhai City and Mulan City respectively for Mulan Yue to live in, so as to show her nobility and match her status.

Ouyang Shuo's series of arrangements ensured that Mulan Yue's personal interests were not violated, and at the end of the game, when the system settled the achievement points, Mulan Yue could get enough achievement points.

Bai Hua and the others were dazzled and thoughtful.

"Wuyi has made a lot of money this time!"

"Yes, I'm a little envious of Yueyue. As a nobleman in the mountain and sea territory, you don't have to worry about military and political affairs, and the treatment you enjoy is no different from that of the lord, and you are as happy as a fairy! ”

“……”

"If those little lords who signed a contract with Wuyi knew Yueyue's treatment, would they vomit blood with envy, the two are simply very different!"

"Then how can it be the same, Yueyue is a member of the Shanhai Alliance, and her strength is there!"

"It's just that it can't be compared!"

"I said you're enough, even if it's Yueyue's ass, you don't have to be so explicit, right?"

“……”

Not to mention Bai Hua, it is Mu Guiying and other old departments of Mulan County, seeing that their own lords enjoy such treatment, their hearts are also relaxed, and the rejection of Shanhailing has basically disappeared.

After the ceremony, the members of the Shanhai Alliance dispersed.

Ouyang Shuo left Mu Guiying behind to discuss the reorganization of the army, and Mulan Yue left the main hall obediently. She is now only the prefect of Mulan Mansion and has no right to intervene in military affairs.

Mulan City is a third-level county seat, and its military establishment is the same as that of Shanhai City. Each of the three affiliated counties has a city defense battalion, which does not need to be reorganized.

The base camp is Mulan City, which currently has four brigades and a total of 10,000 troops. Of the four brigades, there is a cavalry brigade, a sword and shield brigade, and two archer brigades.

Ouyang Shuo's meaning was that the city guard brigade of Mulan City was recruited on the spot from the reserves, and then based on the existing four brigades, the fourth division of Shanhai City was formed.

Mu Guiying served as the commander of the newly formed Fourth Division.

As a result, the Fourth Division will be separated from Mulan Mansion and replaced by General Bai Qi and the Military Affairs Administration. Correspondingly, the military salary of the Fourth Division will also be paid by the Lianzhou Hou Government.

The military salary offered by Mulan Yue before is not comparable to the military salary standard of Shanhai City. Come to think of it, after raising the military salary, the soldiers will increase their sense of belonging to Shanhai City.

The reorganization of the Military Affairs Administration is also a major benefit.

After the formation of the Fourth Division, the field army of Shanhai City reached four divisions and regiments, with a total of 54,000 people, which was just enough to form a corps.

Ouyang Shuo has no plans to set up a legion for the time being.

Whether it is in the military or officialdom, the most important thing is to pay attention to a check and balance.

If a corps is formed, then General Bai Qi is the best choice for the commander of the corps. The current Bai Qi has no real position, and the general is just a fictitious position, and he is mainly responsible for wartime command.

Once Bai Qi became the commander of the corps, the situation would change radically. Bai Qi will control all the field armies in the territory, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Du Ruhui, who has just taken office.

Ouyang Shuo was naturally not worried about Bai Qi's rebellious heart, but he finally managed to get a good environment for Du Ruhui, so he naturally would not bury him with his own hands.

It will not be until Du Ruhui leads the Military Affairs Agency to re-establish his authority in the army that Ouyang Shuo will consider the establishment of a legion, and at that time, a new balance will naturally be formed.

Of course, whether it is Bai Qi or Du Ruhui, they can't get around Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo is the absolute authority and supreme commander in the army, and no one can surpass it.

Straight to the point.

The 4th Division was also a mixed infantry and cavalry division, somewhat similar to the 1st Division.

As for the location of the Fourth Division, it was chosen at Zhennanguan.

Thinking of Zhennanguan, Ouyang Shuo had a headache.

At present, the Zhennan Pass is too small and close to the basin side, which is not conducive to detecting external enemy situations.

"What advice do you have for Zhennanguan?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

In addition to Mu Guiying, there were only two people who participated in the discussion: General Bai Qi and Military Affairs Director Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about the territory, especially in the area of Zhennanguan, and he is not familiar with it. He was amusefully silent and did not express an opinion.

Bai Qi's time was a little earlier than Du Ruhui's, but Zhennan Pass belonged to the scope of Mulan City, although Bai Qi had heard of it, he had not personally gone to the field to investigate, so naturally he would not express his opinion easily.

The only one who can answer Ouyang Shuo is Mu Guiying.

Mu Guiying's expression was solemn, her heroic posture was cool, and she naturally had the most say in Zhennanguan. Even more subtle, this was the first time the prince had investigated her, and she had to show something of herself.

Mu Guiying is worthy of being a heroine, and she doesn't let her eyebrows go, and she has such a momentum that she can't give up.

She first got up and saluted Ouyang Shuo, then clasped her fists with both hands to Bai Qi and Du Ruhui, and said loudly: "North of Zhennan Pass, it is the boundary of Xunzhou, and it is also the birthplace of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising. There is no doubt that the Heavenly Kingdom of Balance will be the future rival of the territory. Therefore, the last general thought that before the other party had gained a firm foothold, he should find a suitable pedal in Xunzhou and take it as a stronghold. Only in this way can we advance and attack, and retreat and defend. ”

"As for the current Zhennan Pass, the pass is old, and if heavy troops are stationed, it is enough to resist the opponent's attack and ensure that Lianzhou County is not lost. However, Zhennanguan is too close to the basin, and north of Zhennanguan, there is a canyon area hundreds of meters long, out of the canyon, which is the boundary of Xunzhou. The last general once went out of the customs to explore, and the further north the canyon went, the more spacious it became, and when it reached the exit to the north, it was already hundreds of meters wide. If the enemy builds a giant checkpoint to the north, it will be enough to block the way of our army's northward advance, and we will become turtles in the urn. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, everything has advantages and disadvantages. While guarding the Lianzhou Basin, Zhennanguan has also become an insurmountable obstacle in the basin's foreign exchanges.

Mu Guiying continued: "The last general's suggestion is to build a large military fortress in the northernmost part of the canyon, and use it as a base to station heavy troops. Outside the fortress, a horse and a flat river, you can attack Xunzhou at any time. ”

Military fortresses and passes are completely different concepts.

The function of the gate, mainly to collect customs duties, is a channel port.

A military fortress is a small city with a complete set of facilities and permanent fortifications, which are suitable for long-term holding.

It is easy to attack the card, but it is difficult to attack the fortress.

Mu Guiying's suggestion coincided with Ouyang Shuo's idea, and he said with a smile: "Okay, just do what the general wants, and build a military fortress at the mouth of the canyon." The name of the fortress is called Mulan Fortress, and the Mulan Mansion is responsible for the construction. The station of the Fourth Division was set at Mulan Fortress. ”

"No!"

After the general direction is set, the Military Affairs Administration will be responsible for the specific reorganization of the armed forces. The design and construction of Mulan Fortress was also completed with the cooperation of various departments and departments, so Ouyang Shuo did not have to worry about it.

With the development momentum of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, there is still enough time to build the Mulan Fortress.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to know how he would feel when the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom drove to the mouth of the canyon and saw the magnificent fortress standing in front of him.

Speaking of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they should also have a move, but they don't know which territory will be unlucky this time and become the first target of Hong Xiuquan's attack.

Ouyang Shuo left Mu Guiying and the three of them to discuss the specific reorganization of the army, and he walked out of the main hall alone, found Mulan Yue, who was still in the mansion, and led her to the study.

To be honest, Ouyang Shuo really didn't expect that Mulan Yue would be so decisive, and before he could open his mouth, he took the initiative to propose the merger, which made him less embarrassed.

It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo is more intimate to Mulan Yue.

The impression that Mulan Yue left on Ouyang Shuo before was that she was innocent with a hint of black belly.

After this incident, Ouyang Shuo was impressed by Mulan Yue again.

Mulan Yue was still so heartless on the surface, and followed Ouyang Shuo into the study, looking here, looking there, she was completely a curious little girl.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Shuo could only shake his head and sigh.

For Mulan Yue, Ouyang Shuo had expectations. He hoped that Mulan Yue's vision would not be limited to the small land of Mulan Mansion.

The territory of the future will be incomparably vast.

Ouyang Shuo hopes that Mulan Yue can forge ahead all the way and become the county guard and guard the pastoral side for him. (To be continued.) )
